Death Note


Anybody catch the small nod to Dearh Note at the end of the new episode season 20 episode 2.

Kyles dad seeing how he made the news and saying something akin to Light "bring it on" sorta like the rivalry he had with L from the comfort of his own room and computer in secrecy. The shadow made me think of Ryuk.

reply

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Plus Gerald typing feverishly on the computer reminded me of Light writing in the book.

A similarity or something making you think of something else is not the same as a "nod".

You're right that it may have just been a coincidence, but Trey Parker and Matt Stone have shown in the past that they understand anime, at least enough to satirize it, so it's not unimaginable that they deliberately referenced a fairly popular anime.

reply

It's perfectly imaginable that they might reference something like Death Note, but if they were going to do it, there's no way it would be so subtle.
