Light Yagami became a Shinigami in the Death Note Anime after his Death

Mac thanks very much for being part of this debate Now please bear in mind that I am talking about the Death Note ANIME, and not the MANGA. I have reason to believe that the ANIME and the MANGA are two different realities. Comparing the Anime and Manga there are slight differences and leads me to believe that makers of the anime wanted to adapt the Manga towards their own satisfactions. Satisfactions that wanted Light Yagami to have an Afterlife (as a Shinigami). The evidence for this belief is below: -Now all of this MU (Nothingness) evidence you explained was only ever actually mentioned in the Death Note Manga. It was not once mentioned in the Anime at all. -In the Manga ending Light's death all takes place in the warehouse where he was finally unmasked as Kira, and it's where Ryuk says to light that all Humans go to "MU (Nothingness)". I reference this ending here: http://read.mangashare.com... However in the Anime ending Light escapes the warehouse and later dies on a stairway and Ryuk's statement of "MU (Nothingness)" was not said at all... WHY? Because the Death Note Anime makers wanted Light to have an afterlife, so they ended it in a way that made all this "MU (Nothingness)" Obsolete in the Anime. I reference the Anime ending with the youtube video provided above: http://www.youtube.com... -Furthermore throughout the Anime series of Death Note there are numerous scenes where Light is shown with his eyes glowing like Shinigami eyes, even though he never made the Shinigami eye deal. Like shown here: http://i470.photobucket.com... This implies that he had maybe become part Shinigami or somehow brought into a covenant with the Shinigami realm. What other explanation is there for him having all these scenes with shinigami eyes? I don't think he was ever seen with shinigami eyes in the Death Note Manga... ... The topic of my argument is that Light Yagami became a Shinigami in the Death note Anime (and not the Manga). The anime makers made it to their own satisfactions and I guess you can say that they dishonoured the Manga, but it was still enough for them to create their own reality of Death Note. ... The Shinigami seen in the footage I provided from ‘Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God' is clearly meant to be the reincarnation of Light Yagami with the afterlife the anime makers wanted him to have. Now Con's complaint about my video source being a ‘deleted scene' showing the Shinigami Light was quite good... but not good enough. It is indeed from the director's cut version of ‘Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God' but the fact that the footage was put back into the theatrical cut and re-released as the director's cut for the public to buy on DVD (instead of being part of the DVD's bonus features) suggests that the deleted scene can indeed be applied to the canon. I live in Great Britain and my country never got the theatrical cut of the film, we only ever got the director's cut. That is more evidence to support that it can be part of the Death Note anime canon. The reason this footage was originally cut out could be because ‘Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God' would be too long a film as it was. So at the time the makers cut it out, and a year later regretted the decision and so released the director's cut. There are all kinds of possibilities for this.
