Something I've been curious about re: Death Note for a while - I'm by no means an expert in the relevant mythology and I know most of the stuff about the Shinigami in the anime/manga is just created for same - but the term is a Shinto thing, right?

But that's not the same as saying that Death being a skeleton guy with a scythe or "Reapers" being particularly restless ghosts is actually a codified Christian belief It's just how folklore works

Fair enough. All that said, do ordinary Japanese people believe they will go to Heaven or Hell? I guess that's the thing I'm stuck on here, I assumed the answer was "no"
