Latest Death Note Oneshot Has Donald Trump In Possession Of Titular Book For $10 Trillion

  |  
Feb 6, 2020

There have been some Death Note video games, right? They had those DS games! That were only released in Japan… Okay, fine. I just want to talk about Death Note. But for good reason. This one is a doozie. In the latest installment of the “Never Complete” Death Note universe, the deadly diary finds its way into the hands of the one and only Donald J. Trump. For the low low price of $10 trillion, the president of the United States of America can kill anyone on the planet for only 13.3x the annual military budget. It’s a great investment!

How? What? Why? Didn’t Death Note end in 2006? Well, yes. The main story did. But ever since the conclusion, series creator Tsugumi Ohba has been releasing a series of one-shot stories set in the expanded Death Note universe. This latest issue finds the Death Note in the hands of Japanese teenager Minoru Tanaka. While the general trend of Death Note is for the new owner to try some kind of social restructuring by killing off who they deem as undesirable, Minoru decides the best option is to auction it off to the highest bidder. At this point in the canon, the existence of the Death Note is public knowledge. So the bidding war for the world’s most lethal artifact begins.

As the prices skyrocket, it’s soon apparent that only two entities have the financial power to stay in the race: the United States of America and People’s Republic of China. So a bidding war ensues pitting Donald J. Trump against Xi Jinping. I’m not making this up. While the two world leaders are never expressly named, they are clearly depicted. Just look:

The new Death Note one-shot only 87 pages long, or in Shonen Manga terms, a 30-minute read. You can find the whole thing here on the VIZ Media website. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you’re familiar with Death Note you should know it has to end tragically. Is it the best story in the Death Note universe? No, not really. The twists are okay. By the end of the story, new states have been introduced that might affect future one-offs. If nothing else, we will now forever have the image of Donald J. Trump making his best anima, “Nani!?!?!” face.

    Ep. 346 Strange Darling: “The Tale of Serial Killer Punch Cards, Part 2”
    Kim tells Ket Part 2 of Strange Darling. Quick question, what do people use those horizontal industrial fridges for if not to store dead bodies? Ket stayed 100% alive in part 1, for the first time in episode history! (Because there were no questions asked or points totaled.) No doubt she does JUST as well in the back half! Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Strange Darling.Writer/Dir.

    Ep. 348 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 2”
    Ket tells Kim the rest of Smile 2. Listen, I sincerely hope that you have all put your fast pants on and haven’t borrowed any pants from either of Ket’s life partners, Kim OR Arik, because they only wear slow pants. We’ve also discovered something Kim should NOT include on her resUme and that’s “creepy smiling.” She’s too cute. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Smile 2.Writer/Dir.
