Talk:Reincarnation (Death Note episode)

Untitled
Ah, this is the episode the two Successors are going to appear in. I can't wait to hear their voice actors. --Delf 20:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Kira prevented 9/11?
I've just removed a bit of trivia that made no sense. It stated that it is assumed that Kira prevented 9/11 as the WTC is still standing. How exactly would this be possible? Light doesn't find the Death Note until 2003 in the manga and 2007 in the anime. If the WTC towers were shown in the episode (I am unable to confirm either way right now) then it should be assumed that they simply weren't destroyed in Death Note's unwritten past. ...in America! 13:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Real life events shouldn't be mixed so much with a surreal animated fictional world. Assumptions about something like this cannot be wasted time upon unless the author/artist say anything about it. --Delf 12:30, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Countdown timer
Just removed this:
 * The countdown timer shown at near the end of the episode displays "00d:00h:00m:00s." Since the series begins in 2007 and at the current point in the anime, it is 2012, the display should have started at "1826d:00h:00m:00s" when L died. This would be impossible since the display can only go up to "99d:99h:99m:99s."

Not sure if this is trivia or just something open for speculation. It's possible that L simply reset the timer regularly some way prior to his death and since we don't know exactly how far before 2012 he died it could well have been less than 100 days. ...in America! 09:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It may have something to do with that scene in the beginning, when L goes to see Watari. I don't think it was just to tell him about deleting the data. If L was seeing something coming, he'd do more precautions than that. So I assume. --Delf 12:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Someone add this to the Anime Wikia
They have room there for fancruft like this.

(Trivia)


 * When Light begins judging criminals again, there are names of people he killed from the first episode that get rewritten in his death note (though in this episode he writes them with a different pen). There are three names shown that are from the first episode, and they appear in a death note in the same order as they did in the first episode. The handwriting is also exactly the same.
 * Light is stated to be 23 years old in the year 2012, meaning he was born in the year of 1989. This seems to conflict with the manga which, according to Death Note: How To Read 13, says that his date of birth is February 28, 1986. This means that he should be 26 years old in the year 2012. However, the anime begins in the year 2007 rather than 2003.
 * This episode, along with its preview of the next episode mark the first appearance of new characters Near and Mello although they were unnamed.
 * Watari, Wedy and Aiber's real names are revealed in this episode. Watari's is shown in a newspaper article to be Quillsh Wammy. Wedy and Aiber's are seen being written in the Death Note as Merrie Kenwood and Tierry Morello respectively.
 * Aiber is shown to have a wife and child.

I believe you can include * Watari, Wedy and Aiber's real names are revealed in this episode. Watari's is shown in a newspaper article to be Quillsh Wammy. Wedy and Aiber's are seen being written in the Death Note as Merrie Kenwood and Tierry Morello respectively. in the summary since it seems sumary-like as Light those write their real names into the death note. You just have to edit it so it flows better in the actual article. Adreamtonight 00:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds fair. I added the notes about the names & Aiber's family but I did notice the trivia was being removed on other episode articles afterwards.  It's probably not worth including them in the summary, if it needs mentioning it should be in each character's profile on Characters of Death Note which they are already (although wording could be better, I'm just not bold enough ;3) ...in America! 11:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Who re-added the trivia section? Would've thought it should be at least discussed.  ...in America! 09:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

If we're going to move trivia in this episode to an anime wiki, we should do it to all death note episodes instead of just this one. Also, when you look at most television show summaries on wikipedia, there are commonly trivia sections. I don't see why they're a negative thing.
