Talk:Death Note

Are these quotes from the manga or anime? I've read all the manga and some of these quotes look incorrect to me. Also some are pretty lame and not quotable. Also could someone explain the significance of the numbers next to the quotes? Thanks. Just one quote mistake I picked up... "L, Do you know? Shinigami Only eat Apples." In the manga this is "L, Do You know Gods Of Death Love Apples?" Check the 2nd Volume of the english manga if you don't believe me.

Anwsers about Quotes

Just one thing. 'Shinigami' is the jappanesse for 'God of Death'. However i don't understand the numbers in the quotes.

Yes, I know. (I'm the person from the first comment.) I think i'm going to clean this up with quotes from the MANGA and ENGLISH DUBBED ANIME. Fansubs aren't a reliable source. Sorry, purists. If you're so PURE you'll see how badly written this article is. Goodbye. 139.168.194.249 10:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup

Cleaned up the Light section a bit. Will work on the rest when I have time. And this person above me is right. There are many unworthy quotes on this page. RecklessFire 00:53, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

• I removed a few quotes from the Light and L section but I'd like someone to review it (in case I removed quotes that are actually notable). I'll start on the other sections when I've finished my ongoing cleanups on some other pages. Raisin56 10:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Quotes are a bit short...

I noticed most of the quotes are one-liners. For a series that's so dialogue-heavy, I would've figured thered be longer lines. Well, that and how a lot of the quotes are split up. (For instance, a bunch of them quoted to Matsuda were all spoken at once and thus should be one quote.)

I only have Volume 1 of the manga and I saw the show through Adult Swim's first run andsubsequent runs irregularly, so it would be hard for me to compile quotes and fix this up, though I might be able to do what I can with the volumes and episodes I do have. Let me guess--the number after the quotes are the manga chapters they're in, correct?

Also, a suggestion here: I think it would be better if the quotes were arranged by themes rather than by character (such as human significance, power, love, authority, intelligence, morality, government, etc.). I don't know about you, but the Death Note fans I've encountered tend to quote based more on the themes of the series than in attempts to imitate their characters.

One last thing...Does anybody have the exchange between Light and Near at the Yellow Box Warehouse about what constitutes a murderer? I heard it was cut down drastically in the anime and that in the manga, it's a lot more played out. 71.160.203.195 08:32, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
