Crisp red apples from the human world are the single indulgence that the god of death Ryuk cannot resist, a craving so fierce it borders on addiction. Their role grows well beyond one shinigami's appetite, eventually turning the fruit into a prized commodity throughout the realm of the gods of death.

Confined to the original pilot chapter of the series, the Death Eraser is a counterpart tool to the killer notebook. Rubbing out a name already recorded inside a death note, it can undo the killing entirely and restore the victim to life, provided the body has not yet been cremated.

The supernatural notebook that lends the series its name is the deadliest weapon imaginable: write a person's name while picturing their face, and they die. Gods of death rely on these books to lengthen their own lives, and when one slips into human hands, the line between justice and murder begins to blur.

As the long duel between Light and Near reaches its climax, both sides turn to forgeries of the killer notebook. These counterfeit death notes become the decisive instruments of the endgame, with each mastermind planting a fake to lure the other into a fatal mistake.

Flight SE333 is the Tokyo-to-Los Angeles service that carries Soichiro Yagami across the Pacific in a desperate bid to recover his kidnapped daughter, Sayu. Commandeered in mid-air on the Mafia's orders, the plane becomes the stage for one of the investigation's tensest hostage exchanges.

The second killer notebook to surface in the story once belonged to the god of death Gelus, who gave up his life to save Misa Amane. Passing from Rem to Misa and onward to Teru Mikami, this book sits at the heart of the final showdown with Near before it is reduced to ash.

The Kira tapes are a string of recorded broadcasts through which Misa Amane, acting as the second Kira, tries to reach the original killer she idolizes. Their menacing demands, the police's counterfeit reply, and an attached diary drive a long stretch of the early investigation and eventually seal Misa's arrest.

Light's date plans are a throwaway scrap of paper, torn from his death note, that he uses as a decoy during a bus hijacking. Bearing only a short itinerary and no names at all, the note plays a quiet part in his scheme to identify the FBI agent shadowing him.

Light's drawer trap is the elaborate hiding place he builds to conceal his death note. Tucked beneath a false bottom in his desk drawer, it pairs a clever unlocking trick with a destructive failsafe designed to incinerate the notebook before anyone else can ever read it.

Light's note to Yuri is a handwritten message he uses to unmask the man shadowing him on suspicion that he is Kira. Passed to his date during a bus hijacking, the note is bait engineered to provoke a reaction that gives away the agent's identity.

A graduation present that doubles as a concealed weapon. Light Yagami's wristwatch hides a torn fragment of the Death Note inside a secret compartment, letting him kill without ever holding the full notebook and anchoring his plot to erase then reclaim his own memories.

A notebook the shinigami Midora wins from the Shinigami King in exchange for human apples, then drops into the world below. It surfaces in Japan, falls to a mercy-killer the public calls C-Kira, and eventually returns to Ryuk, setting up the events of the later one-shot chapters.

Among Near's clutter of toys sit these tiny figures, each modeled on a person who matters to his reasoning about the Kira case. He turns them over in his hands while weighing who kills, who helps, and how the pieces of his theory lock together.

A memo Near writes for Commander Rester, naming the toys and oddities he wants bought and attaching his own price estimate to each. Ryuk pockets the document while slipping through SPK headquarters, turning the eccentric wish list into a small window on Near's habits.

Ancient viewing instruments dotting the Shinigami Realm. Through one of these worn spheres a death god can gaze into the human world and instantly find any person whose name, face, and remaining lifespan it already knows, with no need to descend to Earth at all.

The third notebook to enter the story, carried by the shinigami Rem. She spends her own life using it to protect Misa Amane, and when she dissolves to dust the book passes to Light Yagami, who later turns it into a weapon the task force wields against the mafia.

The governing code that decides how every Death Note behaves. Ryuk records the first five inside the notebook he drops so any finder grasps the basics, and further clauses surface as the story unfolds, with each adaptation bending the canon in its own direction.

The private notebook belonging to the shinigami Ryuk, never once held by a human. Its role in the tale is grimly fixed from the start: Ryuk tells Light this is the book in which he will someday write Light's name, the promise that closes their long arrangement.

The very first notebook shown in the series and the one Light Yagami plucks from his school grounds. Stolen from the shinigami Sidoh by Ryuk and seeded into the human world, it transforms an ordinary student into the mass killer known as Kira.

A cluster of notebooks at the heart of Light Up the NEW World. The rules permit only six to be active among the living at once, so six shinigami deliver six of them to six separate owners, and the film becomes a contest to seize every last one.

A rare reference text, also called the Shinigami handbook, that spells out the laws binding death gods and their notebooks. Only a handful of copies exist, and Sidoh seeks one out from the knowledgeable Armonia Justin in his bid to recover his lost Death Note.
