What further makes him nearly identical to Light is the fact that both anime are animated by Madhouse. While he doesn't say anything, and fans, like Mayu, know nothing about this man, the resemblance is uncanny. Ginti presents a video of the stranger, refusing to give Mayu any other information on the man however, fans of Death Note will see the similarities between the stranger and Light.

Mayu is given the option to save Harada's soul however, she would then be condemning a stranger's soul. In Season 1, Episode 6, 'Cross Heart Attack,' Ginti is tasked with judging fangirl Mayu and idol Harada. While the anime primarily follows Decim's story, another arbiter, Ginti, is featured. Those allow the arbiters to judge whether someone is reincarnated or if their soul is lost in the void. Nine years later, the anime Death Parade not only shared in Death Note's notion that heaven and hell are human constructs, but also featured a cameo by a familiar face.ĭeath Parade is about the humanoids who work in the 'underworld.' While there are many different divisions in this bureaucratic system, the anime focuses on the arbiters, 'bartenders' who force those who have died to play high-stakes games. Both the anime and manga developed a rich lore about death, centering on a notebook granting the owner the ability to kill anyone as long as they had a name and a face, as well as debunking the notion that there was a heaven or a hell. The Death Note anime premiered in 2006, introducing to a new audience shinigami like Ryuk, as well as the villainous protagonist, Light Yagami.
