      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?

      And everything I've read about Shinto is pretty inconsistent with the belief in Heaven or Hell, certain as a default So why would a Shinto spirit, or even a spirit in the heavily not Christian Japan, prank someone by writing that the note means you can't go to Heaven or Hell?

      It's treated as a reveal that it was made up and there are no Heaven or Hell, but I would have figured that was everyone involved's base assumption

      Shinto does have a Heaven and Hell, although those don't mean the same thing as Christianity exactly Heaven is where the kami live and where humans might end up if you become a god yourself Hell, Yomi, is where most dead people end up, the dark underworld

      It's the equivalent of Olympus and Hades in Greek myth, which are fairly common concepts across different cultures

          It just seems odd, to me, like, to take it out of the Japanese context, what if you dropped the Death Note in a Freethinkers conference in San Francisco? Why would anyone care about those terms

          I think it's fairly common for many English speakers to just say "Heaven and Hell" to mean "the afterlife" as a general concept

          That said, I don't think that Rule of the Death Note is really meant to imply that either the Christian or Shinto afterlife is real, I think it's just an idiomatic way of saying that whatever afterlife exists, a Death Note user can't get to it

          Right, it's explicit in the anime that it's NOT real, that it was a trick Ryuk wrote in, the same as saying "whoever uses this note will not be able to fly with the fairies" or whatever. I just don't get why he would expect the user to think otherwise
