Ryuk is a breath of fresh air. This character has a unique way of thinking and 芝居 (quite awkwardly I may add) and I 愛 it. It's a pity Tsugumi Ohba made him a flat, static, side character. There are definitely some 質問 I have about Ryuk's character that the series does not answer (Was Ryuk ever a infant? What is his お気に入り color? How old is he really? Etcetera.), but since he brings a little humor into the series I got over it. Personally, I believe that if Ryuk was not in Death Note it's ranking on my アニメ 一覧 would be significantly lower due to he's my お気に入り character. To put it without babbling too much, he's interesting.
