200710031235Anime News Network picks up a story from a Belgian tabloid reporting that two identical messages linked to Death Note were left near severed body parts discovered Friday in the forest of Belgium’s Duden Park.

According to the newspaper, the two paper sheets both say “Watashi wa Kira dess,” an apparent misspelling of the Japanese phrase “Watashi wa Kira desu,” or “I am Kira (Killer).” This is a catchphrase from writer Tsugumi Ooba and artist Takeshi Obata’s Death Note suspense manga series, in which a high school boy discovers a notebook which allows him to kill people by writing their names in it.


It is unknown if the body parts belong to the same person.

  2. Preemptive strike against those who are going to call for some banning/censorship of manga: David Berkowitz said he killed six people because the dog on his mail route told him to. Does that mean we should have killed dogs because they can potentially drive nutballs to violence?

    Well, duh, of course that’s what we should do. Dogs are always skulkin’ around, lookin’ at people with those shifty little eyes. You know what they’re thinkin’? They’re pantin’ and lickin’ their chops, just thinkin’ “I like bones. And people…they got nothin’ BUT bones inside. Bones…and meat! If only I had some way I could fetch me a bunch of people insides…hmm.”

    This Kira wanna-be? Bet you he’s got himself a dog…or somewhere in his neighborhood there’s a dog, or he’s seen one on TV…just you wait.

    …dogs. They ain’t nothin’ but Trouble with a capital T.

  4. I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Legal notes 2: The Death Note murders?, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

  5. lol, got to love such things,
    the one who did this, u are gettin a cookie from me!
    and deathnote pwns, we should be happy if we would get someone like light, in this world, which sucks tbh.
    personally, the whole idea behind deathnote, is just brilliant, and how its done, how its made, its perfect,+ the fact, i wouldn’t even mind living in that world, atleast light understands what has to be done, deathnotes for everyone:D.. uhm for me!

  6. I want to more about this case and what is going on because I want to know who is the psyco who is doing this because it is already is banned in china and some one has been arrested already in the u.s so my question is what next. Oh and L did you Know shinigami’s only eat apples?

  7. I love Death Note and am a huge fan, but this is taking it to far. If Death Note has taught or was supposed to teach us anything it’s that you can’t control what you don’t need to. Light was never supposed to rule the world and he never did, and this killer is just some psycho path.
