4	!! ''The Prince of Death'' provides examples of:
5	%%%* ApologeticAttacker: Roast.
6	%%%* ArchEnemy: Light and Lireal, Light and L in theory...
7	%%%* ArsonMurderAndLifeSaving: Light.
8	* BackFromTheDead: The Shinigami King does this for Light allowing him to experience "[[ExactWords a mortal lifetime]]" again but he doesn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He does it because [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth he fears Light]] and he [[HellHasNewManagement wants him out of the Shinigami realm before he takes over ]] so that he can be KilledOffForReal. ([[OrcusOnHisThrone Eventually...]] [[BondVillainStupidity by way of pathetic minions.]])
9	* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler: After Lireal threatens Sayu, Light tells him to leave his family out of it... or he'll just have to write down "Sato Akane."]]
10	* BishonenLine: As a Shinigami Light is a [[TheBeautifulElite beautiful]] HumanoidAbomination because he used the notebook so much as a human he became immune to the poisons of the [[DeathWorld Shinigami World]] that mutate the killed Death Note users into the monstrous creatures that the Shinigami are.
11	%%%* BlackAndGrayMorality
12	* BlessedWithSuck: Light thinks it would be more useful ''not'' to be able to see the lifespan of a Death Note holder. His other new powers also come with painful drawbacks.
13	* BondVillainStupidity: The Shinigami King. It has been foretold that one day a Prince will kill the Shinigami King and take his place so what does he do? He makes more of them.
14	%%%* BoyMeetsGhoul: L and Light.
15	%%%* BoysLove
16	* BullyingADragon: {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d when Naomi hits Light and L fearfully thinks in his InternalMonologue that she might as well have struck TheGrimReaper in the face.
17	* CameBackWrong: [[DamagedSoul Light came back damaged]] [[StepfordSmiler though he hides it well.]]
18	%%* TheChewToy: Malum Norio.
19	* CrazyJealousGuy: Light does outrageous things for L's attention.
20	%%* CreateYourOwnVillain: Malum Norio.

30	%%* DeusAngstMachina
31	%%* TheDevilIsALoser: The Shinigami King.

34	%%* DontYouDarePityMe
35	%%* DreamingOfThingsToCome
36	* EmoTeen: ...but Light really does "know pain, death, and rot..."
37	%%* EmpathicWeapon: the scythes and the Death Notes.
38	* EvilCounterpart: Lireal Akane is very similar to Light, though he seems to be doing everything ForTheEvulz. Also Light and the Shinigami King (only the King [[spoiler: [[VillainBall is apparently stupider...]]]])
39	%%* TheEvilPrince: Light and Lireal.
40	* EvilWeapon: Light has a scythe forged from [[SevenDeadlySins the concepts of sins.]]

44	* FaustianRebellion: When the Shinigami King gives out powers it never seems to end well for him.

46	* ForgetsToEat: Light. Justified, he is a Shinigami but since he's been "given a mortal lifetime" again he's really supposed to.
47	%%%* FriendlyEnemy: Light and L.
48	%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: Light, Lure, and Rem.
49	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Malum Norio. Lireal too, only he seems to have already been a psychopath when the King approached him to give him God-like powers.
50	* GenreShift: it goes from suspense to more of a fighting / action-adventure series. Think ''Manga/DeathNote'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY Meets]] ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''.

52	%%* HarmlessVillain: Light as DefrostingIceQueen.

54	* IHaveManyNames: And none:
55	-->'''L''': What am I to call you?
56	-->'''Light''': I don't care. Light, Kira, Prince, bastard …it doesn't matter to me. I have no name.
57	-->'''L''': Don't have a name?
58	-->'''Light''': Yes. It is my protection against Death Notes. I don't have a name though Avarice considers it Kira as do other Shinigami.

62	%%%* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Malum Norio.
63	* ItsPersonal: Matsuda has the nerve to try and use Light as a meat-shield after killing him the first time around... Damn right this sets off Light's BerserkButton...
64	* ItsWhatIDo: As Light explains to [[spoiler: Ryuuzaki]]-he's a Shinigami. [[CaptainObvious He kills people.]]
65	* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Light still kills the F.B.I. agents, [[HorrorHunger though this time it's out of a need to feed.]]]]
66	%%%* TheKidWithTheLeash: L with Light.
67	* KnightInSourArmor: Light is a bit bitter about the whole [[spoiler: failing and dying thing.]] Naturally he still sees himself as a self-sacrificing martyr.
68	%%%* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Both Light and Lieral.
69	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: only a few higher-level Shinigami remember the first time around. [[HaveWeMet Though Ryuk feels as if he knows Kira somehow...]]

74	%%%* MentalWorld: Light's dreams, functioning as both nightmares and HappyPlace.
75	* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Light whenever he gets hurt. "It's a flaw! RIIICHARR--" (wait wrong EvilOverlord.) Justified, because he is undead his wounds never heal and he has to be sewn back together.
76	%%%* MonsterMisogyny: Lireal
77	* MoralityPet: Sayu to Light and Sato to Lireal. Also Sato to Light-[[AffablyEvil he's genuinely nice to her]] and [[spoiler: there's also the implication that [[DisproportionateRetribution Light targeted the FBI agents again because Sato saw one following her and became frightened.]]]]
78	* MrExposition: Barsh, also [[spoiler: Light, because of THE BOND with L he finds himself telling all,]] and Lure.
79	%%%* MysteriousWaif: Lure
80	* NobleDemon: Light. [[spoiler: [[KickTheDog Killing the FBI agents]]]] is the only evil thing he does in this fic.
81	%%%* NotMeThisTime
82	* OrcusOnHisThrone: The Shinigami King. Light himself seems pretty content to just watch how things go [[GroundhogDayLoop this time around.]]
83	* OriginalCharacter: Barsh, Lure, Roast, Avarice, Wrath, Malum Norio, Sato and Lireal Akane.
84	%%* OurDemonsAreDifferent
85	%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent
86	* OutOfCharacter: Light in this, though this can be (at least be in part) attributed to you know... ''[[DamagedSoul dying]].'' It's also stated that [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity his new powers and the role he has been given]] are bound to make him [[strike:crazy]].. crazier. [[{{Pride}} They've certainly given him an ego boost]] ([[SarcasmMode exactly what the]] AGodAmI [[SarcasmMode posterboy needed.]])
87	* ParentalMarriageVeto: 100% subverted "Do you know what we're discussing? That you've just given me permission to fuck your Prince?"

93	%%* RuleOfFunny
94	%%* SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler: L unknowingly does so when he saves Light.]]

96	-->'''Light''': I was hoping for something a little more entertaining... But I'm bored. This is pointless! You've already caught the Kira that killed her dear boyfriend. Just tell her!
97	-->'''Ukita''': A-Already caught? B-But L who-?
98	-->''Light is [[PsychoticSmirk smirking]]''
99	-->'''Ukita''': Don't tell me its-
100	-->'''Naomi''': (to Light) You killed him? (to L) Why is he alive? Why is he just-
101	-->'''Light''': Direct your anger at me. I am the one you want dead.
102	-->''Naomi aims a gun at him''
103	-->'''L''': Please put your gun down.
104	-->'''Naomi''': Y-You killed him? You're really the one responsible?
105	-->'''Light''': Yes. You should know that-
106	-->'''Naomi''' (tightening grip around the gun): Know what?
107	-->'''Light''': [[ItsWhatIDo That it is my job to kill.]] ''summons deathscythe'' [[LargeHam I am Kira. The Prince of Shinigami... I live and thrive off death and thus do not think to threaten me. All I am familiar with is the filth, the madness, the rottenness that constructs this world. Do not attempt such a thing again...]]
108	-->'''L''': Light. Please put [[LivingWeapon her]] away.
109	-->'''Light''' (unsummons deathscythe): [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity That was actually the first time I used]] [[LivingWeapon her]] [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity too.]]
110	* SerialEscalation: How much more [[RuleOfCool awesome]] can we make this? How much more [[{{Flanderization}} bishonen and arrogant]] can Light get? When will the characters actually break against the rising levels of angst?
111	%%%* ShrinkingViolet: Sato Akane
112	* SinisterScythe: The scythes again, they are {{Impossibly Cool Weapon}}s and {{Cosmic Keystone}}s.
113	%%%* SlashFic

115	%%* SmugSnake: Malum Norio, the Shinigami King.
116	%%* SmugSuper: Light.
117	%%* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil
118	%%* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Lireal Akane]]
119	%%%* SurroundedByIdiots: The Shinigami King, Light, and L feel this way.

121	* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Malum knows he doesn’t have long to live but attempts to kill Light before he dies… it ends poorly for him.]]
