      I would prefer Akumetsu myself. It is basically if the Punisher and Joker did a fusion dance, and made it their mission to take down corrupt politicians. Luigi taken up to 11.

        It’d be better to selectively eliminate targets and then observe the results before acting again. Strategic and deliberate, not indiscriminate or rushed. A lot of them are super old too, so a heart attack or stroke isn’t exactly going to raise any eyebrows if they’re spread out a little. If you go around chain slaughtering hundreds of people in a niche environment (rich & powerful), people are going to take notice and start looking into things. And if a Death Note actually existed, that would imply that there are people who could track such a thing, therefore necessitating cautious and deliberate use rather than acting like a manic psychopath.

        Also I checked how much ¥10m was in USD. It’s 69,427.60 as of Monday 12:40am CST. So close.

          Actually, the whole point of Akumetsu is to make society aware of what is happening. It is basically “drain the swamp”, with a question posed to the public: “Will you pour back in pure water?”

          Anyhow, Akumetsu’s theatrics are actually VERY deliberate and coordinated. The nature of the protagonist is wholly different from Light’s modus operandi.
