7 Myths In The Death Note
The Shinigami Realm is Purgatory
In Death Note, it is believed that purgatory can be acknowledged as being the same as the Shinigami Realm. Both are gray realms where beings exist in a cold world, filled with grunge and grime, absent of any light. It is not known how Shinigami are created, but they still all seem to mainly be humanoid, leading to the belief that they could have once been human. In facts, it has never been mentioned that the Shinigami Realm serves as purgatory. It is specifically stated that humans simply cease to exist upon dying.
Shinigami Realm was once like Earth
The Shinigami Realm is sometimes seen filled with massive skeletons of long-gone creatures like dinosaurs or other creatures indicating that the Realm may have once been more environmental like Earth. Actually there is currently no known knowledge about how the Shinigami Realm was created.
Near killed Mikami with the Death Note
There is a myth that Near killed Teru Mikami with the Death Note in order to restrict his actions in the final attempt to capture Kira. This theory has never been proven true or false. The creators of Death Note have stated that they would like for the readers to come up with their own opinions regarding this matter.
Misa was killed with a Death Note
Taking into account the long lifespan Misa inherited from Rem, who also possessed the lifespans taken from L, Watari and Ginzo Kaneboshi as well as the original half Misa exchanged for the eyes, along with the lifespan Misa inherited from Gelus and the fact that she inherited Rem's lifespan after halving her own lifespan again, Misa should have lived a long life. Contrarily, Misa died only seven years after Rem’s death, suggesting the likelihood that she was somehow killed by a Death Note. In fact, it has never been stated that Misa was killed by a Death Note. It is only ever suggested that Misa likely fell into depression and committed suicide after learning of Light's death.
Near killed Misa with the Death Note
In addition to the beliefs that Near had used the Death Note, and that Misa was killed by a Death Note. It is probable that Near had killed Misa using the Death Note to punish her for the crimes she committed alongside Kira. This would be because there was no formal evidence to have her legally imprisoned, so the Death Note would be the only way for Near to deliver justice. In fact, it is never officially confirmed that Near used the Death Note or that Misa died by one. A person can be controlled by a Death Note for no more than 23 days, and Misa died more than a year later when there were no remaining Death Notes to be used to kill her, so this scenario is unlikely.
Soichiro Yagami had two days left to live
Soichiro Yagami made the Shinigami Eye deal and halved his lifespan. He then died one day later in a hospital because he was shot. This means that if he hadn't cut his lifespan in half, he would have had only two days left to live. A main refute against this theory is that every human has a specific amount of time to live. From then on, directly or not, their lifespan can be altered by the Death Note, which is what happens to Soichiro, as he invaded the mafia's base thanks to the Death Note in the first place, so his death was still caused by the Death Note, albeit indirectly.
Various characters and disabilities
Near and L have Asperger Syndrome that could be evident through their dismissal of social norms, extreme intelligence, wearing the same clothes, and intense staring. Furthermore, L has Marfan Syndrome, whose symptoms are 'spidery hands', which are shown throughout the anime, and scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, and a slender figure. It is also commonly assumed Light has a case of ASPD (anti-social personality disorder), whether it be natural or developed over time thanks to the Death Note, evident by his constant lying and him having no problem killing people. Actually this has never been suggested or confirmed to be a fact in any piece of work in the Death Note franchise. Furthermore, Light having ASPD does not make sense, as he does not fully fit the criteria, as he was always someone who behaved well and he also shows empathy.
