Platinum End has been recently announced for an anime adaptation, and fans across the world are wondering whether it will live up to the high standard that the mangaka duo, Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, have established for themselves with Death Note and Bakuman. Today I explore the traces of Death Note's legacy within Platinum End, and how this new story might act as an answer to the only question left at the end of Death Note:


What would happen if a God of the New World truly DID appear?


However, it has yet to be seen whether Platinum End can actually GIVE that answer, or even if it is one that we ever wanted...


► Platinum End Summary:


After the death of his parents, a young Mirai Kakehashi is left in the care of his abusive relatives. Since then, he has become gloomy and depressed, leading him to attempt suicide on the evening of his middle school graduation. Mirai, however, is saved by a pure white girl named Nasse who introduces herself as a guardian angel wishing to give him happiness—by granting him supernatural powers and a chance to become the new God.


In order to earn the position, he must defeat 12 other "God Candidates" within 999 days. Soon, Mirai begins a struggle to survive as a terrifying battle royale erupts between himself and the candidates looking to obtain the most power in the world.
