Ep. 1: An unnamed Shinigami trades an apple for Ryuk's story of Light Yagami's early exploits.

1

In the Shinigami realm, an unnamed Shinigami complains about boredom and seeks entertainment from Ryuk. He offers a Shinigami apple in exchange for a compelling tale. Ryuk accepts the fruit and recounts the first half of the Death Note anime series. As the narrative concludes, Ryuk reflects on Light Yagami, noting that he was not yet a god at that time. The unnamed Shinigami departs, presumably heading to the human world. Ryuk then addresses the departing entity, suggesting that finding the notebook could lead to unforgettable experiences. He ends by asking if the Shinigami agrees, specifically directing the question toward Light. The film serves as a retrospective framing device for the initial events of the series.
