Zenland: Your interpretation of Ryuk, and how you display him, is extremely fascinating. I'm not a weeaboo but I enjoy myself a great anime if the story is great enough. Death Note was good enough to be rewatched 2-3 times for me and after being reminded about it again I'm probably going to do a re-run again. It's hard not to compare what I'm reading to what I've spent about 24 hours in total watching, but I'm doing my best not to do that.
All-in-all the verse is dope as fuck, the story is cool and I enjoy the character you created. Alltho' I think it's partly because I feel like this is how Ryuk's personality would have been if he could be seen by normal beings I still think that I'd find this character dope from a neutral standpoint as well. Your story was short as fuck and I think I would have enjoyed it even more if your verse was longer. But yeah, 7.0/10 from me.

Mike Wrecka: I got to say the same thing to you as I said to Zenland; I love to read how you percieved Ryuk to be. But the mindfuck was immense, all I could think to myself was; ''If Ryuk had been there he'd wanted to slice your head in half for making him into such a weak fucking faggot.'' But I had to maintain myself, I had to remain calm and read your story from a neutral standpoint. It was a challenge in itself and I could not stop to shake my head in disdain at what I was reading at the very same time you props and respect for the story you're telling with your verse. The story itself was decent and truly spoke about some mentally fucked up kid. The closure was dope as fuck too and probably the highlight of the verse for me.

Sidenote rambling before giving the final vote because.. fuck it: I really feel like I shouldn't even vote on this battle. It's a complete mindfuck for me as I'm pretty well known with all the characters involved in Death Note and I'm having a hard time to move out of the atmosphere the series display. I feel like my vote might be biased in either direction based on what I know from before. I've tried to wipe out everything I know about Ryuk and the show/manga, but it's actually pretty hard for me to read because all I can think of while reading is; ''How can something as great as this not genuinly come across as dope to me?''. At the same time it's extremely interesting to see how someone not familiar with the series (at least it seems like this for me that the writers is rather oblivious of the show) interprets Ryuk in Death Note. There were some striking similarities to the character in Zenlands verse (Ryuk's laugh and rather morbid personality) and some shit that was a dead tell that it wasn't based on the series at all (the fact that Ryuk can be seen by the normal man and in MW's verse; a motherfucking mentally disturbed birdman).
I know this isn't the usual vote and probably not the one you want to vote.. But I can't bring myself to delete all of this nonsensical off-topic shit now and I have to pick a winner. Both of the verses is equally great in different fashions and in the end it boils down to content.

MW: Some more interesting imagery (and/or vocabulary if you want) and descriptions would definately make your verse more solid, but the story you're telling is engaging and interesting allthough you fucked with my head all the way through.

Zenland: Your verse was dope but way too brief. However, I like the structure and the overall more complete approach to how you were presenting your piece and the character in your piece.

Ugh.. After going back'n'forth even more and reading both of the verses again it's extremely close imho. But the creativity and character in Zenlands verse can be compared to the same things in MW's verse. The difference between the two is that MW went in more detail about the character and his story and ultimately made me finally agree on a final vote which ended up in his favor.

Vote - Mike Wrecka.
