For today's blog post, I will be talking about some Death Note references in the episode titled "The Shippening" from the show The Amazing World Of Gumball. While watching some videos, I heard a few people mention this episode of the show having quite a few Death Note references in it. After watching it myself, I actually spotted some of them. So, I thought it would be a good idea to mention it on here. Now then, on with the post! The first reference is very early on in the episode, since the music for the opening title card of this episode closely resembles L's Theme from the Death Note Anime. Secondly, the notebook used in the episode is quite similar to the Death Note. Even though the rules for it are different, it's still pretty similar. Much like how anything happens in their reality if it's written in the notebook in The Shippening, anyone who's name is written in the Death Note will actually die in their reality. Even the way Sarah finds the notebook is a reference to how Light found his Death Note. Along with this, the overly dramatic way Sarah writes in her notebook is similar to the way Light writes in his Death Note. Minus the dramatic arm swipes, that is. But, those aren't the only Anime references made in that episode!As a little bonus, Anime versions of Gumball and Darwin appear in this episode as well, with the Anime version of Gumball being a gender bend. Sarah also mentions that she is an Otaku, and she says the light could kill her because of it. Her shirt even has the Japanese characters for "Otaku" on it. Along with this, I will also be including two pictures from the episode The Shippening down below for reference. Enjoy!
