Death Note character Ryuk complains that there is nothing to do in the Shinigami world besides gambling and lazing around. Various fans are curious and started asking these questions.
- But if nothing of value exists, then what do the shinigami risk their lives on?
- What are they putting their money on?
- Do they just want to win for the sake of winning?
There is a high possibility that Shinigami are gambling their own life in the game, except for their lives, there isn’t anything valuable.
Possibility of A Special Gambling System in Death Note Realm
Since killing and gambling are their only pastimes, they have perfected the usage of a simple object called “Dice” to gamble with. However, this would be a unique variety of dice that will be known as “Permeance Dice.”
It’s possible that the Permeance Dice is an eight-sided die with each side bearing a different color code (red for permanent, blue for temporary). As the Shinigami wear red and humans wear blue, we might say that these colors represent their respective races.
You can use these dice to modify the terms of the eye contract so that Shinigami can freely reveal information about their clients’ life expectancies.
Valuable things in the Shinigami Realm
The Eye Deal: Given the option, a human being might choose to acquire the eye deal without decreasing their lifespan. Nonetheless, the Shinigami must roll the Permeance Dice, and if red is rolled, the human’s entire lifespan will be taken away; if the Shinigami doesn’t want the fun to end too quickly, 75% of the human’s lifespan will be taken away. If it lands on blue, however, the human’s lifespan will remain unaffected while they gain the Shinigami eyes.
The Lifespan Deal: A human being has the option of negotiating for an extended lifespan. Some Shinigami are more dishonest in their bargains than others, but if the human rolls a blue Permeance Dice, the Shinigami will reveal the name of the person they’ve chosen.
- They might be gambling on their own Lives which they collected after writing the names of Humans in the Deathnote
- Working for other shinigami to write or collect names for them.
Fan Theory on a Shinigami Elir Mepherik Gambling Games
Elir Mepherik enjoys engaging in conversation and gambling. He finds killing humans to be a source of pleasure as well. Just before he kills a human, he tells the other Shinigami a story he made up about the victim’s life. Because of this, the other Shinigami consider him somewhat of a poet and tease him for taking his job too seriously.
Given that Elir is not very talented at gambling but nonetheless regularly bets years of his life on the outcome of gambling games, it is not surprising that his gambling addiction drives him to kill a large number of persons.
Mepherik isn’t interested in what’s happening in the human realm, so he utilises his imagination to create stories that pique his attention.
