Death Note: Light Up the New World is an upcoming film based on the Death Note franchise, slated for release on October 29, 2016. Set ten years after Death Note: The Last Name, it focuses on a police officer named Tsukuru Mishima, who finds himself caught in the conflict between a Kira-supporting cyberterrorist named Yuki Shien and a new "L" figure, calling himself Ryuzaki. In a Call Back to a one-off mentioned rule from the original manga, six Death Notes have entered the human world, the limit to how many are allowed at a time...
Death Note: Light Up the New World contains examples of the following tropes:
Art Evolution: Ryuk's new look for the movie. He looks noticeably sharper and more intimidating than previous appearances.
Dark Is Not Evil: While the amorality (or not) of his actions has yet to revealed, L's successor Ryuzaki is shown dressed all in black, contrasted with the white-clad antagonist Yuki Shien.
Light Is Not Good: The teaser poster depicts Big Bad Yuki Shien as dressed completely in white. Quite fitting, because he's imitating his predecessor Light Yagami, who was a literal embodiment of the trope.
Malevolent Masked Men: As L's successor, Ryuzaki may or may not share his predecessor's moral ambiguity, but is shown holding a mask on the first poster.
Mythology Gag: Yuki Shien is one. An antagonist who wears white? We're looking at you, Near. Ditto for L who is barefoot.
Reincarnation: Early promotional material states that Shien and Ryuzaki "inherited the DNA" of Light and L. Make of that what you will.
Role Reprisal: Erika Toda as Misa Amane and Shido Nakamura as Ryuk are confirmed to return for the movie.
