How The Quiz Works
The ten questions explore how you would use a deadly notebook, how you think, what drives you and even your favourite snack. Each answer adds points to one or two characters, and your bars show the closest matches.
The central question of Death Note is moral: can killing criminals ever create justice? Your answers to the dilemma questions weigh heavily in separating Light, L and Soichiro.
