Death Note is regarded as a masterpiece and has been one of the most successful anime and manga ever to exist. Written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, this series has 37 episodes in Season 1. There has never been confirmation or news about the development of a Season 2. However, if there was indeed a second season, then Light Yagamu might return as a Shikigami, according to a popular theory.
Supernatural, along with thrillers, make some of the best genres. However, as fans of these genres are known to cook up several theories, the same goes with Death Note. The fact that this is written intricately and smartly gives fans the thrill and gets them at the edge of their seats.
How can Light Yagami return to Death Note Season 2?
There are several Death Note theories; however, this is the most popular one. The existence of Shikigami in the series was unquestioned, and the fact they live in another realm is intriguing. Fans have theorized that Shinigami were once all humans who had Death Notes.
This theory delves into the fact that a Shinigami consists of the original Shinigami as well as Shinigami, who used to be humans. If this theory is true, then there is a high possibility that Light Yagami might return to the show as a Shinigami himself. Even though the protagonist of Season 2 might be different, this is a great pavement for Light to walk back into the series.
What to expect from Death Note Season 2, if there is one ever?
The season of Death Note was a massive success, and it received a great response from fans and critics alike. It’s been over 15 years since the first episode dropped, and the series is still timeless and equally hyped with a loyal fanbase.
For fans expecting a second season, the storyline can’t pick up after the events of the first season, as the protagonist of the story has already died. The first season adapted the 12 volumes of the manga and ended up with 37 episodes. For the second season to have the same cast is not possible.
A one-shot chapter was released back on February 4, 2020, named Death Note: A-Kira Story, which was a new addition to the franchise. Fans have been hopeful for a sequel as the story follows events 10 years after the Kira Incident.
However, neither Tsugumi Ohba nor Studio Madhouse confirmed any updates regarding the development of a second season.
