Death Note isn’t only a fun anime; it’s also a reflection of our own lives, with its hate, misery, and desire for vengeance, among other emotions. We somehow feel responsible for all the bad things that happen around us or in our country, and we wish we could eradicate all evil and punish people for their wrongdoings. That’s one way of thinking. The other is where people gain power, and instead of using it for good, they abuse it and lose the ability to distinguish between good and bad.
This anime depicts how a high school boy receives a diary called ‘Death Note,’ which possesses the powerful ability to take people’s lives and can eliminate anybody if he writes their name correctly and photographs them. Within the story, the boy, Light Yagami, meets another holder of Death Note named Misa Amane. So, today we will discuss the top 12 facts about Misa Amane from Death Note.
Death note was dropped by Ryuk, a shinigami who was bored with his Shinigami world and wanted some drama in his life, so he dropped the notebook in the human world to see what a human would do with it. The Death Note was discovered by Light Yagami, a 17-year-old high school student who was extremely intelligent and bored as well. He resolves to use it to assassinate all criminals, earning the moniker Kira in the process. His ultimate purpose is to rid the world of evil in order to build a utopia, which he will then rule as a god.
Misa Amane is the admirer of Light Yagami. Misa, a prominent idol in Japan, is a girl who has a huge crush on Kira. She is immature and, in an attempt to be adorable, frequently refers to herself in the third person. During an attempted house robbery, her parents were slaughtered in front of her. Misa thought justice had been done after the trial against her parents’ killer went on for a long time, and when he was slain by Kira. Misa’s fixation with Light is well-documented in the anime, and she has previously stated that she fell in love with him at first sight.
Light, on the other hand, has a different opinion of her and exploits her to carry out his goals. Misa Amane also possesses a Death Note, and her Shinigami eyes, which Light lacks, make her more helpful to him. Not once, but twice, Misa obtained the Shinigami eyes at the cost of half her remaining life span. She has been referred to be a second Kira as well as a Kira fan. Here are some facts about Misa Amane that might interest you!
1. Misa Amane can sing
Misa Amane has always been shown in anime as a beautiful girl who is constantly well-dressed, implying that she is a model who is frequently seen on photo shoots. She has a large fan base, and people adore her, which is one of the most compelling reasons for Light Yagami to choose her as an asset. Misa is not just a brilliant model and actress, but she’s also a fantastic vocalist, which may surprise you. Misa is a well-known singer and television personality in film series, musicals, and television dramas.

2. Misa Amane is a single child, but only in the anime
Misa has always been shown alone in anime and in her home. She was not discovered with any siblings or anybody else, and she is depicted as a self-obsessed kid who pampers herself and takes care of her wants, implying that she is most likely her parents’ only child. That doesn’t appear to be the case; it’s one of the lesser-known truths in the anime and manga series that Misa had siblings. In the film series, she is shown to have a younger brother. However, in the manga, she is shown to have an older sister. It makes her anime status as an only kid an intriguing option.
3. Misa has varied Character Development
Misa’s character has evolved from the beginning of the manga. Misa was largely employed as fan service in previous translations. She has, nevertheless, grown into a three-dimensional figure and a formidable lady. In the musical, her affections for Light are genuine, and her love for him isn’t shown as a joke as it was in the manga.
Misa was far more engaged in the Kira assassinations in the Netflix film, and she went over Light’s back to achieve what she desired. Her line of work has also shifted. She plays as a musician rather than a model in musical and live-action drama.
4. She is Ruthless
Misa is always seen as a bubbly, playful, and outgoing character with a pretty innocent face. This makes us forget about her cruel side. For one, she took the life of several Task Force members without hesitating in the slightest, acting on her own without any orders from Light to do so. She was also seen threatening Light if she ever found out about him seeing other girls that she’d kill them. She was also seen offering to kill her own friend to show her loyalty.

5. Misa Amane Passed Away
We all know when Misa Amane was born, but we rarely know when she died. On December 25, 1984, Misa Amane was born. She was supposed to live longer, just like any other human, but she chose to shorten her life in order to gain the power of shinigami eyes twice. This demonstrates how insane she was to help the man who murdered her parents. On February 14, 2011, Misa died. Misa became depressed after the death of Light, according to the series’ writer, Tsugumi Ohba, and attempted suicide. She was born on Christmas Day and passed away on Valentine’s Day.
6. Hardest Character to depict
She’s regarded as one of the most difficult manga characters to develop. Her mentality and everything were tough to portray, and the writer admitted that it was difficult to put himself in the thoughts of someone who would act so irrationally and invest so much in a person to not only demonstrate love but also to do everything for the one they love. Obata also stated that, although being a unique character to write, she was also a lot of fun to draw. It’s no surprise that Misa is regarded as one of the anime’s most intriguing characters. During his investigation for her, he truly loved the magazine he was reading.
7. Name’s Origin
The character’s name, Misa Amane, is quite intriguing. The writer says he’s not sure, but he thinks the name comes from the Japanese word ‘Kuromisa,’ which means “Black Mass,” and Misa’s last name, Amane, meaning “Sound of the Heavens.”

8. Varying Eye Colors
Misa’s eyes were originally brown in the anime, but they were occasionally blue, implying that she wore contact lenses while she worked as a model and actress. Her eyes frequently become red anytime she uses her Shinigami eyes to glimpse someone’s name or learn about their life duration since she has Shinigami eyes.
9. She was not so bad after all
Despite her cheery nature, she’s generally portrayed as a cold-hearted person who wouldn’t mind killing anyone, yet if you recall, she did care about her manager, Matsuda. Their personalities were very similar. They were both upbeat and childlike, making them unlikely buddies. Misa was upset and saddened to see her biggest admirer go in this manner when Mogi had to replace him after he was forced to fake his death. Matsuda was regarded as an imbecile by many people, including Light and L. Misa outdid even the Task Force members in terms of compassion. As a result, she is nicer than most people assume.

10. She was Intelligent
Misa’s demeanor and appearance frequently obscured the fact that she is also brilliant, as seen in the series by her ability to set up the trap for L with Light, not simply that she was able to recognize Light while concealing her identity. She’s also the one who ultimately coaxes Higuchi into confessing.
11. Misa Amane was devoted to Light Yagami
Death Note contains several religious references, although Misa is never seen worshipping anybody other than Light, to whom she dedicated her life. She’s been engaged in so many murders that it’s impossible to say if she’s religious or not, but one fascinating thing about her is that she dresses gothic and, aside from that, Misa wears a Rosary. She believes Light is God. Therefore it’s only natural that she would do everything for him, even if he hadn’t avenged her parents. Light was happy to exploit her in whatever manner he wanted since he really wanted to be a God.
12. Censored Scene
There’s no doubt that Satoru Gojo himself is one of the aspects that makes Jujutsu Kaisen so special. He is basically the walking resemblance of power and unpredictability, thus becoming the sole symbol of fear even in the hearts of special grade curses. Be it a curse or a sorcerer, there isn’t anyone who can defeat him in a fair fight. It was only after the introduction of the Prison Realm that we realized that the six eyes bearer could be defeated too. He couldn’t help letting his guard down when his dead best friend showed up before him after years.
Coming to his personality, he never gets tired of his self-centered talks and is often seen as a nonchalant and playful character. However, don’t get deceived just by his lack of seriousness. We, the manga readers, know that his early life was far from a happy one. Naturally, the heavy emotions often seep into his words, thereby giving them a deeper meaning. Here’s the list of 10 Satoru Gojo quotes that make him one of the best anime senseis of recent times. The list will be a mixture of narcissistic and deep quotes, reflecting his nature perfectly.
1. It’s ironic, isn’t it? When granted everything, you can’t do anything.
Satoru Gojo never misses a chance of breaking his opponents’ spirit before rag dolling them in a fight. He goes the extra mile just to ensure that his opponents realize how inferior they are to him. Call it confidence or arrogance; that’s what makes his fights more like a one-sided rampage. Before beheading Jogo with his bare hands, he reminded him how it feels to be useless despite having power. Jogo’s situation must have been relatable for Gojo. There were instances where Gojo had failed his friends even with the power of his six eyes. However, Gojo couldn’t help rejoicing to see Jogo in a similar position.
2.”Don’t worry; I am The Strongest.”
Yes, that’s the confidence he had in himself, even when the King of Curses was right in front of him. When Itadori was concerned that switching to Sukuna could be a bad idea, he assured him by claiming himself to be the strongest. He proved that he wasn’t at all joking in the next ten seconds when he played around with Sukana. Sukuna couldn’t lay a finger on Gojo even after his best attempts. The fight was over before we realized and Itadori switched back to his senses.
3. “I’ve always been a nice guy who cares for his students.”
It’s no secret that Gojo sensei has always protected his students like an unshakable canopy. He didn’t think twice before breaking into the anti-Gojo barrier when his students were fighting Hanami alone. The Jujutsu High higher-ups didn’t have the guts to lay a finger on Itadori and Yuta, knowing that they were Gojo’s students. He knew that he would be targeted sooner or later, so he asked Yuta to take care of Itadori if anything happens to him.
4. “No matter How many allies you have around you, when you die, you will be alone.”
Megumi has this bad habit of focusing more on teamwork over individual strength. He is undoubtedly a great leader, but is he a good jujutsu sorcerer as well? Not so much. Gojo reminded him that jujutsu sorcery is an individual sport. When someone dies on the battlefield, they die alone. There won’t be anyone else following him to the grave.
This was Gojo’s way of encouraging Megumi to grow stronger for his selfish reasons. He doesn’t want Megumi to rely on Itadori and Nobara for the combat. Thanks to these words, Megumi explored the evil within him and went on to unleash the Chimera Shadow Garden domain expansion.
5. “Dying to win, and risking death to win… are completely different, Megumi.”
We are already halfway in the top 10 Satoru Gojo quotes, and here’s the one that inspired me the most. Gojo was disappointed at the way Megumi threw off his strike in the baseball game. He did this so that Nobara could approach her bases. However, Gojo saw this as Megumi’s inability to rely on his own strengths. As I said before, unlike baseball, jujutsu sorcery isn’t a team sport. Here, personal strength is enough to turn the course of a battle.
Gojo has fought Togi Fushiguru in his early days. So, he knows how strong Megumi’s father was and wants him to achieve the same rank. Moreover, he is well aware of Megumi’s innate powers that remained unexplored due to his defensive mindset.
6. “I am surprised, you thought you could beat me using your sorry excuse for a brain”
Among all the Satoru Gojo quotes, this one accurately reflects his arrogant side. He was initially irritated at Jogo for daring to face him a second time, even after what he had done to him before. He was absolutely furious when Jogo tried using non-sorcerers as a shield to limit Gojo’s movements.
These strong words were followed by panels of absolute Gojo supremacy. He rendered Jodo inactive by breaking his arm and then going after Hanami. Before Jogo could recover and attack the sorcerers, the special grade curse Hanami was already taken care of.
7. “I’ll make you think and agonize! Concentrate!”
Did you ever think that Gojo sensei would give such cold threats? Neither did i. But after seeing countless men getting slaughtered and transfigured by the curses. Satoru Gojo just turned into an emotionless curse-killing machine and stopped caring about the innocent lives around him. He went as far as unleashing his Immeasurable Void domain expansion for 0.2 seconds.
A non-sorcerer can stand Gojo’s immeasurable void for maximum 0.2 seconds without having any long-lasting effect. Yet, the amount of information flooding in everyone’s brain will be approximately half a year world. Thus, it will take any ordinary human two months of counseling for recovery.
8. “Yeah, maybe it’s a good night for me. But it’s high time for you to wake up.”
These were Gojo Satoru’s final words before getting trapped into the Prison Realm. Considering that getting sucked into the Prison Realm is almost equivalent to death, I was expecting something more emotional. Then again, we are talking about the unpredictable Satoru Gojo here. He must have a plan for escaping, or he trusts his students to free him someday.
By this final quote, Gojo bids farewell to his Kenjaku-controlled old friend and asks him to wake up. This was more like screaming before deaf years since Getou is already dead. However, Gojo couldn’t resist admitting that he wanted his former best friend to wake up again for one last time. (or from Kenjaku’s control). It’s this subtle sense of sadness in his words that has inspired me to list down my favorite Satoru Gojo quotes.
9. “My six eyes tell me you are Suguru Geto…. But my soul knows otherwise.”
Gojo couldn’t believe what he saw right before his eyes. The Suguru Geto he admired so much would never have been a mindless puppet to someone else. Gojo’s six eyes are immune to illusions, so there isn’t any doubt that the person is Geto. However, his soul refused to accept the fact. We have never seen Gojo getting so emotional before. You can call this one desperate attempt to bring back the friend he lost.
10. “Throughout the heavens and Earth.. I alone am the honored one.”
Let’s conclude this list with another one of typical Satoru Gojo quotes, where he shows off his powers. These were the words he said just before unleashing his finishing move, Purple. For those of you who don’t know, Gojo used his first Purple years before his fight with Hanami.
It was directed towards Megumi’s father, Togi Fushiguru. He was a gifted individual with zero curse energy, and yet he became the only person to stab through Gojo’s infinity. Despite his fatal injuries, he landed the killing blow and brought the epic fight to an end.
“Jujutsu Kaisen” is a dark fantasy manga and anime that follows Yuji Itadori, a high schooler who, after consuming a cursed object, gets into a face-off with Jujutsu sorcerers. Tasked with collecting all the cursed fragments of a powerful demon, Yuji teams up with other sorcerers to combat malevolent curses and uncover deeper mysteries.
