Is Beyond Birthday part Shinigami? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There may be a few spoilers for Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases in this post though, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! So, could Beyond Birthday actually be part Shinigami? Although this may seem like an odd thing to talk about, it actually does have some proof to support it. The first piece of evidence is the most well-known one, since it says it in the beginning of the book. First of all, Beyond Birthday was born with Shinigami eyes. It is unknown how this happened, but Mello mentions the possibility of a Shinigami accidentally dropping its eyes into the Human World instead of a Death Note. However, I personally think this is rather unlikely. But, this isn't the only thing that points to him being part Shinigami either. In the book, Beyond Birthday is shown to like eating jam. Although this in itself isn't weird, he seems to crave jam too. He even stored multiple jars of it in the fridges of his victims. This is similar to how Ryuk has a craving for apples after he ate one in the Human World. He also has an odd tendency to crawl around on the floor on all fours, and his laugh is said to sound like a Shinigami's laugh in the book. Because of this, I think there is a good possibility of Beyond Birthday being part Shinigami. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! Since there are no official pictures of Beyond Birthday available, I will be including a picture of Ryuk with an apple below instead. Enjoy!
