now that we're most of the way done with platinum end, i feel like i can ask this again
how much better would platinum end have been if it had been death note 2 instead
>the shinigami king gets tired of ruling the shinigami realm and plans to abdicate
>he opts not to appoint another shinigami as his successor - declaring them all too lazy, and undeserving of the throne
>instead, he summons the six shinigami that are the least disappointing - nu, justin, daril, zellogi, ryuk, and gook - gives each of them an extra notebook, and tells them to each go down to the human world and hand their spare notebook to a human of their choice
>the shinigami whose human gathers all six notebooks becomes the new shinigami king - but only if they can do it in the next six hundred sixty-six days
