History Fanfic / WeAllNeedAHero

* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Ryuk is a shinigami that can kill anyone by just knowing their name and is the primary cause of the conflict within Death Note. He also likes to play Mario party with Sayu when no one is home.

* UptownGirl: Misa being a Pop-star/Actress/Model is considerably more wealthy than Sayu, always trying to provide for her, such as on there first date, where she takes Sayu to a fancy restaurants and casually pay's for the both of them. When her family and Kitamura's go to the same restaurant for a get together, she orders the same meal from last time and is emparassed when it's the most expensive one ordered on the table.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sayu main motivation for becoming Kira was creating a better world so her Dad could come home to see them and her brother won't disappear from thier lives like their Father has by pursuing a career in the law. And even when she states that it's failing, Sayu still continues to be Kira because she wants to create a batter future for the weak and downtrodden of the world. Even the violent criminals that seek rehabilitation.

* AntiVillain: Unlike Light in canon, Sayu never develops a god complex while using the Death Note to kill criminals and tries to pick the most peaceful and merciful deaths for them. She's only killing criminals because she believes that eliminating crime will allow her father and brother to achieve a better future. She is even willing to acknowledge that her efforts are ultimately not working out after she inevitably gets the police on her tail, only continuing with the killing because she legitimately believes she can help create a better world and because of the persistent threat of Ryuk writing her name in it if she were to ever stop. Finally, unlike Light, she doesn't touch criminals so long as they're willing to rehabilitate.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sayu main motivation for becoming Kira was creating a better world so her Dad could come home to see them and her brother won’t disappear from there life’s like their Father has by pursuing a career in the law. And even when she states that it’s failing, Sayu still continues to be Kira because she wants to create a batter future for the weak and downtrodden of the world. Even the violent criminals that seek rehabilitation.

* InspiteOfANail: L still tricks Kira into revealing themselves to the world on TV while pinning down their rough location; albeit with a different method than in canon.

* BreakTheCutie: Poor Sayu, her whole motivation is wanting to make a better world for her brother and father to stay with there family, since the emergence of Kira, their family has drifted further and further apart, and she genuinely cares about doing the right thing no matter if she views herself as monster because of it. In fact the reason she didn’t let Ryuk take the Death Note Back in chapter 1 was because he considered giving it to Light.

MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Misa belatedly hits this several months after her News Station attack, realizing that the people she killed were completely innocent and probably had families of their own and completely freaks out over this.]]

* ForWantOfANail: With Sayu receiving the Death Note several things change.
** Raye Penber and the rest of the FBI agents aren’t killed as Sayu actively avoids killing innocent officers.
** As a direct result of the previous change, Naomi Misora's death is avoided as she doesn’t need to avenge her fiance's death. Furthermore, she wouldn’t have the theory of Kira being able to kill outside of a heart attack, because Sayu learned Raye's identity through less dramatic means than a violent busjacking. Whether she may have a role in the story has yet to be seen.

** In Chapter 9 [[spoiler: Sayu of all people does this to light convincing him that he always Knew she was Kira deep down, that he unintentionally helped her because he truly believes what Kira is doing is right, that he’s complicit and has just as much blood on his hands as she does to join her.]]

* BigBrotherInstinct: Light has this in spades for Sayu like in canon, genuinely getting angry at L when he points to the possibility of Kira being Sayu. It’s to point of him actively lying to Kazue and driving her to tears in order to protect Sayu when Kazue puts together her being Kira.
