Your Death Note Persona

What would you do with a black notebook that gives you God-like powers? Would you use it to make the world a better place? Or would you write all your haters’ names in it so you can get rid of them? The Death Note quiz on this page can determine what your intentions could be in an anime universe.

A Guide to Death Note’s Characters

By the end of the test, you will have the answer to ‘What Death Note Character Are You?’ But here is a little help for you to figure out what your match reveals about your persona.

#1: Light

The Kira. He is the young guy behind every major event in the show. Light is portrayed as a hardworking, talented, and overall genius student. People who match him have a strong sense of justice and are good at planning strategic moves.

#2: L

“I am L” is the coolest answer you can give to a question like, “Which Death Note character are you?” He is known as one of the smartest anime characters ever. One of his iconic traits is being super-secretive about his life. L is also an intelligent detective who never misses a clue. People who match him are goal-centric and detail-oriented people who might have some kind of OCD as well.

#3: Near

Near is a teenager with low social knowledge and skills. He is a highly sensitive individual, and that makes him prone to having loose relationships. Near is a distant person in general. And that might be because of his strange background—as he was raised to become a world-class detective. Participants who get Near as a result of their test are introverted and shy individuals with high IQ levels.

#4: Misa

Not many people would like to Misa as a result of the ‘Which Death Note character are you?’ quiz. That is because she is a childish and impulsive person—at least, for most of the time. Although Misa is a beloved persona, her unconditional love and trust for Light made many fans judge her. Those who see Misa as their counterpart in the test are usually outgoing and hyperactive personalities.

How to Answer “Which Death Note Character You Are?” Without a Quiz

You can find out which DN character you are by answering the following three questions. These dilemmas expose your inner Death Note persona in no time.

First Question: What Is Your Take on Justice?

During the 37 episodes of the anime show, we see Light and other characters fighting for what they believe to be justice. Who do you side with? On the one hand, the FBI agents and detectives are working hard to stop Kira. On the other, the Death Note possessors do their best to remove the world from the bad guys.

Second Question: Who Should be in Charge of Social Justice?

Kira claims to have pure and innocent intentions. He only wants to kill off the villains of the world. But is that something you would back in real life? Should a person have the power to decide who gets to live and vice versa?

Final Question: Can the Ends Justify the Means?

Light believes that it is okay to use the notebook to kill people. He suggests that his good and moralistic goals are enough to allow him to do so. Do you agree or disagree? Are the ends able to justify the means?

Note: Use the following table to find out which Death Note character you are based on your answers.

Character Responses
L First question: I side with L

Second question: Humans should not make God-like decisions

“Otakus for life.” That’s Ryo’s not-quite-official tagline. A 20-some-year-old anime freak, Ryo oversees most anime quizzes on QuizExpo. But you can find him re-reading his favorite manga and catching up on the latest anime releases. When we asked, “Why do you love making personality quizzes?” Ryo’s response was phenomenal: “I love deciding people’s fate. It makes me feel godlike.” (We know he was just joking, though.)

How to Play?

Playing personality quizzes is straightforward: Choose the option that’s true about you—or you relate to—and select “Next.” Unlike trivia quizzes, personality tests have no right or wrong answers. But the questions are in forced-choice format. The point is to push you to choose an option that makes the most sense, not the one that’s 100% true. For the most accurate results, don’t overthink your responses. Go with options that you “feel” are the best.
