The net is flooded with a viral photo of Japan’s coach, Hajime Moriyasu, writing in his notebook, which has sparked memes comparing him to Light Yagami from the popular anime ‘Death Note.’
With Japan dominating at the Paris Olympics 2024 and leading the medal tally with 12 medals—6 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze—the viral picture has sparked comparisons and has evoked fans’ imagination about the coach’s mysterious tactics.
Is the Viral ‘Light Yagami’ Olympics 2024 Picture Real?
However, the two are as different as chalk and cheese, though their achievements can be labelled as stupendous.
Japan’s coach, Hajime Moriyasu, led the nation’s football team to its biggest triumph at the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022 when it defeated giants like Spain and Germany.
The picture in which Hajime Moriyasu is seen writing in his notebook is from 2022.
The picture resurfaced during the current sports event in Paris.
On the other hand, Tsugumi Ohba’s ‘Death Note’ was released in 2006 and is considered one of the greatest thriller anime series of all time.
The anime series was full of twists and unexpected turns of events and went on to earn a spot on the Top 250 TV shows list according to user ratings.
The intense clash between Kira and Light Yagami kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
However, in the end, the character of Yagami fell victim to Kira, and now fans contend that he has been reincarnated as Japan’s Hajime Moriyasu.
Fans also contend in viral memes that Japan, as the Land of the Rising Sun, is invincible due to their hardworking nature and Yagami’s tactics, and therefore the prospects are very bright for Japan in the 2024 Olympics.
Also, the picture that depicts Hajime Moriyasu also has a connection with Tsugumi Ohba’s ‘Death Note’ series.
In the series, the main character Yagami gets his hands on a magical notebook, which enables the person to destroy anyone if he knows their name and face.
Yagami was introduced as a school student and was filled with a strong sense of justice.
The mysterious Death Note helps him become a vigilante, and it led to a drastic transformation until it released a darker shade of his character, and he descended into a moral morass.
He is involved in the murder of Detective L but escapes the long arms of the law.
However, he cannot escape the consequences of his actions, and finally, after his identity is revealed, his associates write his name in the notebook.
The picture created a major buzz on social media and has precipitated an overwhelmingly positive reaction.
Fans flooded the post with comments on Light Yagami and Japan at the Olympics 2024.
One user commented, ‘He even started writing the names.’
Another user declared, ‘Japan’s gonna win this time.’
Another netizen said, ‘Any mysterious deaths at the Olympics, we know who to blame.’
