Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was thinking this when I was watching a video about World War II in Language Arts... (don't ask)

If you think about it, Adolf Hitler killed anyone who he judged to be a Jew, disabled, gay, whatever he discriminated against. He also carefully planned his moves so he could win. Eventually, Hitler committed suicide because things weren't going his way. He was about to lose.

Now, I don't know about you, but I think that sounds A LOT like Light Yagami.

Also, put it this way. The Japanese were actually involved in World War II, therefore, they could relate to Hitler, so there is a chance that they based Death Note off of Hitler. The "zaki" from "Ryuzaki" could be a reference to "Nazi" since both "Nazi" and "zaki" rhyme.

What are your opinions? Do you think Death Note is based off the Nazi?

OBJECTION!

your evidence is insufficient. you cant just assume there is a connection because two people discriminate against a group of people(especially since its not even the same group of people). there has been that kind of discrimination for thousands of years.

and since when have childish rhymes ever been an accurate source of information?

(wow, playing pheonix wright really does make you more lawyer-ish) surprised

first off, i wasnt saying YOU were discriminating, i said the two people you were comparing did (kira and hitler)

secondly, you said that the rhyming could be a REFERENCE, and i asked if you thought rhymes were a significant source of INFORMATION, not that it was evidence. when i talked about evidence, i was talking about the fact that there needs to be more proof and that your theory didnt have enough facts to convince me.

and yes, i realize you were asking for an opinion, and i gave you mine, but i backed it up with why i think that way.

sorry if you thought i was insulting you or anything, but i didnt mean it that way

i agree with both sides i see how light can be considered another hitler. i actually see a lot of similarities though they're more of a broad comparison such as how each wanted a specific type of person to survive though they both had different types still it was the same, they both passed judgment on people they had no right to judge, they both used force to get what they want, and they both were intelligent people(though i think light is more intelligent!) and the origins of death note are actually from a chinese emperor who would keep a book similar to that of the egyptian book of dead. anyways the note book was passed down from leader to leader.

i applaud you, but you realize, if you are edgeworth, you should know the importance of EVIDENCE, and without any further evidence on this subject, we can hardly prove if there is any connection whatsoever biggrin

*sigh* o-tay i will!
Similarites:
1. Both believed in a specific type of people who should leave
2. Both killed people for their goals
3. Both thought they were doing good to the world
4. Both were intelligent
5. Both passed judgment on people they had no right to i.e. "playing god"
6. Both had followers whether they be outspoken or not
7. Both were loved and hated for what they did
and thats all i can think of without going in depth!

yeah at first i was like "your crazy to think they are alike" but then i thought about it xd

Not based of Hitler, but yes they both killed people, but soo did many other people through out history.
