| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: After informing Trump that he will die for accepting the sale of the Death Note, Ryuk gives him two options: die, but keep the Death Note in US custody, or live, but return it to Ryuk. Trump not only decides to give it back, but decides to bluff everyone else into believing he still has it. | |

Diabolus ex Machina: The Shinigami King: neutral in every instance he appears/is mentioned, finally decides to put his foot down on misuse of the Notebook. Naturally, he has to make an example of the person who came up with the new loophole in the first place. | |

| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_20e6a6e7 | comment |
It Only Works Once: When Ryuk suggests that Minoru use the Death Note like Light did, he shoots this down immediately by pointing out the ways technology and the tracking down of crimes has changed in the past ten years making using the Death Note in the same manner practically impossible. | |

The New '10s: The plot takes place in late 2010s, more specifically in 2019, with all the technological advances, law enforcement technology, social networks, smartphones and hashtags that the past decade was known for. Heck, they even added Donald Trump. | |

Legendary in the Sequel: Although his identity was never made public, the original Kira is remembered as a major figure in recent history. Minoru tells Ryuk that history classes present him as a vicious terrorist, but many people still revere him as a god. | |

Auction | |
| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_29f510be | comment |
Auction: Minoru decides to sell off the Death Note to the highest bidder by having Ryuk hold up a note stating so on live TV. This leads to a massive bidding war, particularly between the USA and China. The US wins with a bid of 1 quadrillion yen which equates to over 900 billion US dollars. | |

Arch-Enemy: Averted with Minoru and Near. Despite Near being L's successor and noting that A-Kira is far more intelligent than C-Kira, leading him to actually investigate the case this time, they don't have any sort of rivalry like their predecessors. Minoru isn't even aware that Near is investigating him, since his decision to auction the Death Note means Near feels no reason to reveal his involvement. | |

Distant Sequel: The story is set nine years after Light's death in 2010, though at first it picks up where the "C-Kira" story left off in 2013 before skipping to 2019, with there being a brief flashback to when Minoru got the Death Note in 2017. | |

Technology Marches On: Discussed. Minoru points out that Light's master schemes would've fallen apart faster in 2017-2019 with all the security cameras on every street, bus, and train, and the police getting better at tracking down cyber crimes. invoked | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character | |
| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_517d2eb8 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Like Taro, Minoru had his first encounter with the Death Note as a middle schooler and did not want to cause any deaths. Unlike Taro, he got the Death Note knowing exactly what it was meant for, and didn't do anything with it until he had a solid plan — and that wouldn't be until his high school years. Both Minoru and Light started using the Death Note in their teens, and both wanted to bring a prosperous future with their use of it. Whereas Light was an egotistic megalomaniac when it came down to his new world, Minoru's plan was smaller in scope and he remained fairly levelheaded through his plan. And while both died due to an unforeseen circumstance, Light's own lack of oversight led to a pathetic death, while Minoru's Laser-Guided Amnesia and a rule patch that only existed after he'd "won" led to a quick but sudden death. | |

| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_53136954 | comment |
Book Dumb: Minoru has weak school grades, but he puts a lot of thought into his plans about how to make use of the Death Note. He actually successfully sells it (and would had gotten away with it if not for the Shinigami King's new rule) and even outwits Near. | |

Spanner in the Works: Minoru's plan goes off without a problem and he would have enjoyed his money were it not for the Shinigami King establishing a new rule forbidding the sale of Death Notes, combined with Minoru ordering Ryuk to stay away (and therefore not learning about the rule). | |

| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_75c952bf | comment |
Our Presidents Are Different: Unlike the fictional Presidents that appeared in Death Note proper, this chapter employs the President Unmodified variety. Chinese President Xi Jinping, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and United States President Donald Trump all appear as themselves in accordance with the world stage of 2019. Depending on how you see them, all—but particularly Trump—could be seen as Scheming, Corrupt, and/or Strawman. | |

Not Me This Time: The general public—and even middle schoolers—don't see Sakura TV in the best light given their history and active engagement with the original Kira, which is why they have to insist they're aren't personally involved with the auction or the apparent hijacking of their airtime by an unseen phantom. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: The Shinigami King adds "No buying or selling the Death Note" to the rules effective immediately, which states that those involved in the exchange will die, the buyer when they take ownership and the seller once they receive payment. Notably, this one-shot is the only story that makes it clear that patching the rules is possible, and thus that the rules of the Death Notes are not fundamental or inherent to their magic. By implication, some of the other rules that might seem somewhat redundant or pertain to incredibly specific or unlikely scenarios may also have been added as patches for past incidents. | |

Written by the Winners: As Light had theorized, Kira would only have been considered a hero to the public if he had successfully taken over the world. Just seven years after his disappearance, the era of Kira's reign is now a part of officially-documented history, and he's considered one of history's greatest villains. | |

| Death Note Special Chapter (Manga) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Minoru exploits the Shinigami's trait of being invisible to anyone that hasn't touched a Death Note to have Ryuk disclose messages to the public without anyone knowing he was involved. He also makes use of Ryuk's intangibility by telling him to travel underground so no one can track him when he goes back to Minoru's home. | |
