Was Beyond Birthday from Death Note really bad? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! However, I would like to mention that there will be spoilers in this post. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! For those of you who don't know, Beyond Birthday is the antagonist of the novel Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. But, was he really bad? Although most of Beyond Birthday's actions in The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases were to get the attention of L, Beyond Birthday actually did turn out to be a serial killer. Throughout the novel, he ended up killing three people in total. However, the reason I'm questioning if he was bad or not is because he  knew when the people he killed were going to die. Since he was born with shinigami eyes, he knew the names and death dates of every person he met. So, he already knew the people he killed were going to die at that specific time with or without his intervention. But does this make it right? Well, no. He probably chose the victims he did because he thought people who had a longer lifespan wouldn't be able to be killed by him. Along with this, the fact that he was willing to kill people in the first place makes him seem evil as well. So, him choosing the people he did based on their lifespans doesn't make him any better. It just means he knew in advance he would be able to kill them. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on it. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoy this blog post!
