Was Misa Amane a necessary character in Death Note? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There may be some spoilers in this post though, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! So, was Misa really a necessary character for the series? Although there is no denying the fact that Misa ended up being a rather important character in Death Note, that doesn't really mean she was a necessary character. For example, the main reason she even existed was so there wouldn't just be a cast of all males for the story. So, she was added to make it seem a little livelier. Along with this, Misa ended up with the Shinigami eyes because Light would never have traded for them himself. However, she also ended up becoming the second Kira, which played a large role for the plot of the show. Her intense infatuation with Light also created a few subplots of their own, which helped move the story along. Because of this, I think Misa did end up being a necessary character for the series. Death Note may have ended up quite differently if she had never been added to it, and some parts of the series may never have even happened. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this subject anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Misa below. Enjoy!
