8 Horror TV Shows Where Everyone Dies In The End

It shouldn't come as a surprise that in an anime like Death Note, the main cast of characters didn't really have a huge chance at surviving. If there is one message the show tried to highlight the most, it is that every choice has its consequences.

Death Note follows the life of Light Yagami, a brilliant young man who, after acquiring the titular Death Note (which allows him to kill anyone whose name is written into the book) becomes a justice-obsessed vigilante known to the rest of the world as Kira.

Throughout the series, Light comes across many people trying to expose him as Kira, including his archnemesis L, and acquires a handful of allies to help him carry out his mission. By the end of it, all of his allies are six feet under, and Light shares their fate shortly after, as the death god Ryuk uses Light's Death Note against him. Right up until his very last moment, Light believes he has outsmarted everyone, but his death immediately shows him that, in the end, he was really just a puppet of more sinister forces.

Light dies alone, and his legacy dies with him. Shortly after his death, his last remaining companion, his fiancée Misa, is seen standing on a ledge of a building, implying she committed suicide.
