Death Note: Killer Within
Exciting news for Death Note fans! Recently, Shasha trademarked the Death Note franchise, hinting at a new project titled “Death Note: Killer Within.” This unexpected development has fans buzzing with anticipation.
SHUEISHA Trade Mark : The Death Note series
The Death Note series, known for its intense psychological battles and moral dilemmas, has always captivated audiences with its unique storyline and complex characters.
CMV: Light would have never been caught if Death Note took place IRL.
This is a highly debated topic. Some argue that Light’s intelligence and strategic thinking would make him nearly impossible to catch, while others believe that real-world law enforcement and technology would eventually expose him. You can join the discussion on Reddit here.
The new trademark suggests that the franchise is set to expand in thrilling new ways. While details about the project remain scarce, the title alone has sparked numerous theories and discussions among fans. Could this be a continuation of the original story, a spin-off, or something entirely new? The possibilities are endless, and the excitement is palpable.
What is the Death Note?
The Death Note is a supernatural notebook that allows its user to kill anyone whose name and face they know by writing the person’s name in the notebook while picturing their face.
As we await more information, one thing is certain: the Death Note universe is far from over. This new project promises to bring fresh intrigue and suspense, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more updates as we uncover what “Death Note: Killer Within” has in store!
The company is largely known by fans in the West for its manga magazines such as Weekly Shonen Jump, famous for featuring popular series like One Piece and Naruto. Death Note appeared in the magazine from 2003 until its conclusion in 2006.
The series, which follows high school student Light Yagami as he uses a killer notebook to bring his version of justice to the world, has a unique connection to the world of video games. The majority of titles have been Japan-only releases, with the majority appearing on the Nintendo DS.
The gameplay is often limited to text-based and point-and-click investigations, leaving much to be desired by some fans. Over the past decade, the franchise’s appearances in gaming have become less frequent, limited to fighting game cameos and mobile game crossovers.
Death Note Killer Within seems to be a potential video game, as the project is classified under Article 511, Section 41, and Section 9. The two sections describe various entertainment services specific to computers and online gaming, meaning that Shueisha Games will most likely be responsible for the project. Any further details regarding gameplay are currently unknown, as no additional information is listed regarding the genre of the game or its rating. Whether it will live up to fan expectations remains to be seen.
A New Death Note Game After Nearly A Decade
From those same sections mentioned above, it can be gleaned that the game may be available primarily on mobile devices with a PC counterpart, much like Genshin Impact. The game is classified as downloadable and accessible network-wide by mobile phone users on different networks. There is no information listed about the game’s relationship to the Death Note manga or the anime.
Shueisha has registered a new trademark titled "Death Note Killer Within".

When the game is officially announced, Death Note Killer Within will be a dream for many fans of the series. Having last appeared in the 2019 crossover fighting game Jump Force, Light, Ryuk, and L are long overdue for an appearance on the small screen. The game may be announced simultaneously with the upcoming live-action Death Note show’s official release date – the series is being produced by the Duffer Brothers of Stranger Things fame.
The last time the characters were introduced to audiences in a live-action format, the Death Note fandom was not done justice, with the 2019 American film adaptation on Netflix met with intense criticism upon release. With tons of different ways to jump into the series, fans can still get their fill of Death Note before Death Note Killer Within sees an official announcement.
