"Just what is a Japan, anyway..." Piccolo accidentally blurted out.

Silence. Kakashi Hatake, Piccolo's 'partner in crime' in terms of television program presenting, stared at the Namekian with bundles of confusion filling his mind - shown clearly in his facial expression. Piccolo returned Kakashi's gaze with an angered leer, then grunted.

"Never mind. Let's just get this over with," Piccolo demanded, stretching his neck muscles. Kakashi scratched the back of his neck to ease off tension, then dusted his ninja uniform with his hands, making sure that he was presentable for the cameras. With a shout from the director, recording began.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Kakashi Hatake," Kakashi introduced, starting off the episode. He then pointed towards his green-skinned partner. "And this is Piccolo. Together, we're the presenters of this show that you're watching, where the both of us talk about theories relating to a multitude of series."

"First," Piccolo interjected, interrupting Kakashi. "We would like to apologise for the lack of recent broadcasts. Events arose that we had to deal with - let's just say that some things never rest. You should definitely be seeing a lot more episodes from us from here on out."

"Yeah, that. Now...let's talk about Death Note. Both the series and the notebook," continued Kakashi. "Death Note is an anime and manga series starring a genius student called Light Yagami, who finds a Death Note one day and decides to use its abnormal powers to eliminate all criminals of the world. You see, the notebook itself allows the user to kill any human by simply writing the person's name, along with the cause or time of death if the user so wishes to use that feature. Light wants to become a god, but we all know what happens when mortals try to play god."

"Unless you count Goku and Vegeta with their recent Super Saiyan God forms. Though, 'god' has different meanings in multiple universes. Usually, the idea is the same but a god in one universe may have completely different abilities compared to a god in another universe. We're digressing from our main topic, however; what we really want to talk about is the notebook itself. Because...we feel the notebook is more dangerous than it lets on."

"Of course the ability to wipe out any human is a terrifying power, especially if you can do it as effectively as the Death Note. However, its strongest powers...are its ability to lure potential users in and the ability to manipulate them."

"Never has it been stated in the manga or anime series that any human Death Note user has thrown away the notebook. It's likely that if a user of a particular notebook is killed due to his or her own mistakes, that the Shinigami that originally owned the book would retrieve it itself."

"In the first episode or chapter of the series, we see that Light initially sees the Death Note as a prank, similar to one of those virus inducing emails that you sometimes get. However, he suddenly gains an interest in the notebook as he keeps it in his possession for the remainder of the day that he finds it. This could likely be a case of simple curiosity getting the better of people, but it's interesting to note that the Death Note falls into the hands of the easily curious."

"Now for the second part of our topic. After gaining a penchant for the Death Note's supernatural powers, Light continues to use it to wipe out anyone that he deems evil - barring himself. He kills criminals, anyone with dark intentions and even those that try to stand up to him. This suggests that the Death Note is perhaps controlling the user, in a sense, that it's feeding off of the user's desires and using its power to make those desires a reality. It gives Light his god complex, making him believe that his powers could not be matched."

"Another example of this is Misa Amane, the second Death Note user seen in the series. She gets her Death Note after a Shingami kills himself to save her, whose notebook is then handed down to Misa thanks to another Shinigami, Rem. After receiving the book and gaining an understanding of what it can do, Misa also gets controlled in a similar vein as Light. She begins to have an unnaturally strong affection for Light, who was also the person that killed the murderer of her parents, that desire leading to her using the Death Note in a way that directly benefits him. Misa cares only for him and ignores all consequences of her and Light's actions. She loses all reason just to focus on Light's goal."

"The Death Note is that strong. It feeds on the mental weakness of its users then goes onto its next victim - Shinigami are the only ones that don't get controlled by the Death Note because of their non-human nature. It requires true strength, not only physical but mental as well, to defeat the notebook's curse-like powers, something that has yet to be seen."

"Definitely. If one ever appears in our world, I'll definitely get rid of it with a Fire Ball Jutsu. No demonic notebook like that should exist."

Nobody spoke, not until Piccolo ended the small period of silence. "That's all we have time for this episode. We'll see you all next time."

As the all-clear signal was given, the cameras were turned off and the two presenters departed from the warehouse, returning to their lives.

Author Notes: So this is my first chapter of anything in about a month. I apologise to all of you that have been waiting for a new chapter, I was going to upload something by the end of summer, but I had homework to do that needed to be completed as soon as school started up.

Then school started up. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to updated any of my fics daily, so I'll try to return to my old one-week schedule. There's going to be a rota for when I upload - one week I'll do this, then the next I'll do Lapis Pugna Online and after that, I'll do Luster the Cat. It's going to keep going around like that and hopefully I can stick to this. Thanks for being patient and do remember to share my fics around with whoever. See you all next time!
