    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.
