Talk:Beyond Birthday

I didn't know that B attempted suicide.

 * Does anyone know anymore about the book Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases? Like Why L's life might have been extended because of Misora's Death. Or Anything about B's shinigami eyes that isn't mentioned in the book? I'd really like to know more about it.


 * Errrm he tryed to commited suicide at the end of the book didnt you read it? -VENOMSGOD101 14:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * As for L's life being extended, if Light had known that Misora had actually seen L and worked so close to him, he could have led her on even longer and she might have figured a way to contact L for help. In that case, Light would just use her to get to L faster and might have tried to lure L into helping her before she died so that he would have a better opportunity of killing L. It sounds a little confusing, but it does make sense in my mind. There are so many ways that Light could have used that to his advantage, but since he didn't, L lived longer. Also, Beyond Birthday only tried committing suicide because he wanted to make it the case that L could never solve. He didn't have a particular death wish, or was tired of living. Instead, he just considered his life as disposable as those he killed, all to be used to defeat L.


 * Also, Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases is the only place that mentions Beyond Birthday's Shinigami Eyes, so everything else you might hear would just be speculation unless the creators have something to say about it. -Lawliet Lover 20:32, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Light had no idea of Naomi Misora's close involvement with L in regards to the Beyond Birthday murders. All that he knew was that she had found evidence which could "convict" him if L found out. His only choice was to eliminate her with the Death Note, regardless of any information that she might have had.

Regarding the extension of L's life span through Naomi Misora's death: she had no new information about L that Light would not eventually have when he meets L in person. The only way that killing her might extend L's life span would be if Misora had revealed information about BB and Wammy's House. If Light had found the orphanage/school early enough, he probably would have discovered L's real name as well as his heirs (Mello and Near). Then he could simply write all of their names into his Death Note and there would be no one left to oppose him.

Hey, I never thought of that. Even if he wasn't able to find L's real name, he would have easily found out Watari's name. Killing Watari would have slowed down the investigation and might have stressed L out enough for him to make a mistake. Who knows?

Hey, how do you know BB has tanner skin than L and is taller than him? And where did you find out this as well?

I'd also like the source of that information. It is, to my knowledge, not present in HTR nor is it in Another Note. Though it could be assumed that B *is* darker than L since he wears makeup.

I'm almost 100% positive that someone pulled those dates (with the exception of his death date which is accurate) for BB out of their arse. BB wasn't even in the anime. The hell?

Who ever edited BB's page before me messed it up... I'll try to fix it but please, leave the over all format the same when you edit pages! it gets confusing after a while

I do not believe they ever gave B an official birthday... But his death date is January 21, 2004, as it is stated in the closing lines of the novel, as well as in HTR 13. In the novel it states that while B was "serving a life sentence in a California prison, he died of a mysterious heart attack on January 21, 2004" However, in HTR, it states in the timeline section that "Beyond Birthday is killed by Kira". Yup. Birthday,however, I do not believe that they gave him one. And I seriously doubt it would be the same as L's..

was he in a movie?!
I was watching the second Death Note movie a few days ago, and i saw a strange man in Misa's flashbacks. He looked like BB in a way, but with slightly different hair...i just NEED to know if that was him!! bye-bye -HidanTheJashinist

Another Theory about the cover design on L.A.BB Murder Cases.
Some people believe that it is L on the art in LABBMC, but I think it's B, for the following reasons;

The visible B at the top of the page (aforementioned in the article.)

The fact that shinigami eyes are invisible to humans. (Also aforementioned)

Also, the book was written in japanese. Although in western prints it is read left to right like a conventional novel, the image will be exactly the same as in the japanese versions, because artists always make sure their images aren't flopped - to avoid skewing the image. This is especially true with shonon media. So, if you think about it, the image will be at the end of the book for westernwers, but the beginning for the japanese. And so, because the japanese read right to left, Naomi misora would appear before Ryuzaki (either L or BB) - this is a common thing when there are pictures of the protagonist and antagonist - the protagonist always appearsfirst to the reader's eyes, if there is a frame/picture of them facing each other, so it would actually appear like Naomi Misora and then her rival, BB. This is speculation of course - proof fromt he authors is required but the theory is pretty sound.
