Marvel’s Death Note is capable of killing even Thor; understand

What crossover is this? Will this work? Will we have Ryuk in the Marvel Universe? Is the nerd world ready for this meeting? Calm down… Marvel’s Death Note is more of an adaptation than a crossover. It’s not now that we’ll see cooperation between Marvel and Madhouse (the “M” for “match” is there, just don’t see it if you don’t want it).

Some fans may be here without really understanding the context and how Tsugumi Ohba’s Death Note works. Let’s go: the story has the protagonist Light Yagami, who finds a mysterious notebook (a find is not stolen, right) that belonged to the god of death, Ryuk (for the purposes of inner peace, don’t watch the Western film adaptation, trust me).

The Death Note is a magical object, which allows whoever uses it to be able to kill a person anywhere in the world. It is enough that whoever writes knows the name and face of the target (so as not to kill a person with the same name, look at the danger).

When a person’s name is written in the notebook, they die almost instantly, such as from a heart attack. However, it is also possible to write a specific manner of death next to the person’s name in the notebook.

Understanding this concept, we can move on to the next point: how does Marvel’s Death Note work?

How does Marvel’s Death Note work?

It really won’t be a crossover, but the working principle of Marvel’s Death Note is entirely based on the same logic as the manga’s notebook. This feature appears in the story “Remember the Name” by Murewa Ayodele, Dotun Akande and Dee Cunniffe from “Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever #1”.

In this edition, the authors present a spell that operates in the same way as Tsugumi Ohba’s Death Note: all it takes is a name and the person can be killed.

Additionally, there is a slight upgrade: the victims of the spell do not need to be in this world, aka Planet Earth, nor in our mortal realm. So characters like Doctor Strange or Thor can be affected by the spell.

In the story, this spell is introduced when Wakanda is under threat and Shuri finds this resource to kill an enemy. However, she encounters a stalemate: the enemy is a priest who has no name (you can’t have everything in this life), but the conditions of the spell are non-negotiable, and the victim must have a name.
