Thread: What do you think happened after the reign of Kira

Believing as I do that the human state of mind is set with the patterns of society that have been embedded since it's very foundation, I think that people would return to their ways and the world will be a crime ridden place once more.

Ruling in fear as he did would only scare people, not truly have them reform. Unlike an actual godlike figure, Kira could only see people's outside motivations, not if they were a sociopath or a so called labeled 'bad person'. Meaning the world isn't cleansed of evil, but of criminals.

It's human's history for most tyrants and dictators to eventually fail...Ghandi said something along those lines.

Kira died?..."Kira who?" People returned to mind their own lives.

Though, I will have to say I guess crime spiked up a bit, maybe a bit too much, as if a rebound effect

In the very last chapter of the manga, we learn a bit of the aftermath of the sruvivors, including Near...it even tells of a new but shortlasting Kira (PHAIL!!1!one!). In it, things are depicted as if the world simply returned to normal after Light's death

Grumble Grumble Grumble

I think Near would go underground real fast... After all, he has control over one of the ultimate remote assassination devices, something that the powers that be would dearly like to get there hands on... The 'retirement' of Kira would be faked to hide from the public that no government has control over the missing 'Death Note'...

Moving to spoilers...

I am almost certain that a second, much more knowledgeable, even more arrogant, very stylish, and sadistic Kira would emerge.
Ordinarily I'd say Misa would never be able to do it. But the series ended with a few questions that leaves food for thought and I'm outta beer, so anything is possible. Most likely if Misa did resume the role of Kira it would be because Light died or it could be because the idea of Kira, someone to save the innocent/punish the wicked really appealed to her and so she smartened up. The odds of her coming across another Death Note though . . . .

I also imagine Near would go underground, do his puzzles, and come out once the world needed him again. He'll probably cross paths again with Mello though and need his help to find the culprit but somehow Near would get the deed done.

Honestly, don't have many good ideas on this.
Based on what I read in How to Read 13, along with my own insights, I'd have to say that everything would go back to a normal lifestyle...possible less crime only due to lingering fear...however I would like to note that...

Apparently Misa commited suicide a year after Light's death.

Perhaps a bunch of Kira impersonators...I really don't know.
I also read somewhere that...

Near dies a little after a few years after the story concludes...

However, this is solely an opinion question I guess.
So...normality. Humans live normally and criminals have a lingering fear.........
......
I feel boring now.

I think the crime rate started to rise again after Kira had gone, Near would have probably solved more crimes, Misa killed herself ( I think) and knowing Ryuk... he would hav probably stole another Deathnote because Near might of kept his other one and then Ryuk would drop it again because hes so clumsy and it would probably start again only near would know what was happening.
