[K-MUSICAL] Musical and Christianity-Death Note and Bible

Hong Kwang-ho Light (pictured left) and Kim Jun-su L.

When you watch movies, dramas, novels, and webtoons, unexpectedly, Christian codes are found.
Pro-Christian but sometimes anti-Christian.
Finding these codes is also a way to enjoy works.

Chords related to Christianity are also found in the Korean musical Death Note.
For example, the apple enjoyed by the god of death, Ryuk, has the image of the fruit of the tree of knowledge (of good and of Evil). This red apple is connected to the red candies and chocolates that L is constantly eating.

Then let's look at the names of the characters from now on.
The names of the characters in the musical Death Note have Christian elements.
The main characters, Yagami Light and L, are no exception.

The Japanese pronunciation of Laito is Light. 

Laito, of course, means light.
Light is the light that shines and saves the world.
The source of this light's power comes from death notes.

Death Note has the power of human death.
It is the power of the Creator.
In that sense, the god of death, the real owner of Death Note, has the same power as the creator.

Light declares in the musical Death Note, "I'm going to be a god." 

His father, Soichiro Yagami, who sings a duet with him, tells his son to "be a god."
God is a being who has the power to change the world. And build justice in this world.

Unfortunately, the justice of father and son is completely different.
That is also the beauty of this song.

Among yagami, gami (kami) means god in Japanese.
During World War II, the famous suicide squad, Kamikaze, meant the Wind of God.

The person who confronts the distorted justice of Yagami Light is Detective L.
In the Korean musical Death Note, L is played by Kim junsu and Kim Sung-chul.

The pronunciation of L is EL. EL is the name of God in Christianity.
In the Old Testament, God the Creator is Elohim.
The names of the angels of God are also related to EL.
It is easy to find EL in the names of angels such as Gabriel and Rafael.

Angels are also beings who fight against evil.
Ironically, in the musical Death Note, Angel (L) confronts Light.
Light, who has a death note, gradually turns into a demon, contrary to his name.

Light-loving woman and idol star Amane Misa is a savior for Light who turns into a demon.
In Catholicism, worship and sacrifice to God are called Mass. 

In Japan, Mess is called Misa. This is the same for Korea.

Kim Sunyoung Rem

The main character of the tragedy, which is extinguished by sand for helping Misa in Death Note, is the goddess of death Rem. 

Rem sounds similar to Lamb, a lamb meat. Sheep are sacrifices to God to wash away human sins.

In
Christianity, Jesus Christ is called the Lamb of God.
Rem is also a self-sacrifice for Misa.

Kang Hongseok Ryuk

Another god of death is Ryuk.

Ryuk is a cranky god who threw Death Note into the human world because he was bored.

Ryu's name resembles the English name of Nougat, author of the Gospel of Nougat. The English name is Luke. It's similar to Ryuk.
Luke was a doctor who treated human diseases before he was the author of the Gospel.
In the musical Death Note, Ryuk is a god who gives death to humans.

Death Note is also a Christian item.
There is a book of life in the Bible.
At the time of the final judgment, the book of life unfolds, and the person who is not listed in the book falls into eternal hell.
The book of life is another death note.
