The show is considered to be one of the best psychological thrillers that features unforeseen twists and turns in each episode that could not be anticipated by fans at all. As a result, the cat-and-dog chase between Kira and Light Yagami kept the fans hooked on the show.

Though L became another victim to Kira, it looks like he has reincarnated as Japan’s Hajime Moriyasu. Consequently, fans have deemed The Land of the Rising Sun to be unstoppable at the Paris Olympics as they sit comfortably on the Top Spot with 12 medals.

Light Yagami Makes Japan an Unstoppable Force at the Paris Olympics

One of the key reasons that Tsugumi Ohba’s Death Note gathered such huge prominence is due to its protagonist, Light Yagami. The protagonist of the thriller series was introduced as an ambitious high school student who had a strong sense of justice.

However, encountering a mysterious notebook called the Death Note led to his transformation, which made him a vigilante, and his darker side was unleashed, leading to his descent into darkness.

After murdering Detective L, his extraordinary intellect made no one suspect him. Even though he came out on top in the intellectual duel, Yagami could not escape the consequences of using the mysterious notebook.

Hence, during the finale of the show, the vigilante could not escape his fate as his identity was revealed, making Ryuk, the Shinigami, write Kira’s name in his notebook. However, it looks like the mastermind has reincarnated, and this time he is going to make his country unstoppable with his enthralling genius.

In the wake of the Paris Olympics, a picture from 2022, of Hajime Moriyasu writing something in his notebook has gone viral, earning him the nickname Light Yagami. This was a result of his football team defeating giants like Spain and Germany in the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022.

The picture resurfaced during the current sports event being held in the City of Love. This notion was further reinforced as Japan is currently leading the games with 12 medals, 6 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze.
