Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

An unnamed Shinigami appears in the framing scenes, seeking out Ryuk to hear his story.

This Shinigami's design bears a striking resemblance to Light Yagami—similar hair, a red tie-like feature, a limp, and the same voice actor in some versions. This has led to the popular fan theory that after his death, Light was reincarnated as a Shinigami, condemned to the boring realm he once sought to escape. Though not officially canon, this interpretation adds a layer of cosmic irony to Light's fate.

In Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid, Light, L, and Misa make a background cameo appearance.

In the sixth episode of the anime "Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid," characters who are clear visual doubles for Light Yagami, L, and Misa Amane can be seen in the background of a scene, a nod from one animation studio to another popular series.
