Savage killings, minor thefts, and arbitrary acts of brutality contaminate the human realm. In stark contrast, the domain of death gods exists as a mundane, unchanging gambling den. The resourceful 17-year-old Japanese student, Light Yagami, and the sadistic god of death, Ryuk, both harbor a shared conviction: their respective worlds are corrupt.
Ryuk, for his own entertainment, tosses his Death Note into the human domain. Light discovers it, dismissing the initial rule as absurd: the person whose name is inscribed in this note will meet their demise. However, succumbing to the irresistible temptation, Light conducts an experiment by inscribing a criminal’s name, resulting in a chilling realization as his first murder unfolds.
Cognizant of the formidable godlike power now in his possession, Light—adopting the alias Kira—pursues his twisted sense of justice with the ultimate aim of purging the world of all wrongdoers. The meticulous detective mastermind, known as L, is already in pursuit, yet as Light’s brilliance matches L’s, the grand pursuit of Kira transforms into a gripping intellectual duel that can only conclude with the demise of one of them.

| <————– Death Note Relight 2: L’s Successors (**) ————-> | ||
(*) Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God is an animated feature film that compiles the first half of the series (episodes 1 to 26) and mainly uses original scenes from the anime, but includes some additional scenes and changes, mainly to replace longer events with shorter ones to adapt the content to a feature film.
(**) Death Note Relight 2: L’s Successors is an animated feature film that compiles the second half of the series (episodes 27 to 36), in which it contains much more original material than its predecessor, presumably because the anime directors wanted to take more creative liberties in this particular special.
