Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The musical explores universal themes of justice, power, and morality through a conflict between a vigilante and a detective, ultimately critiquing the corrupting nature of absolute power without explicitly endorsing a specific political ideology or solution.
The musical's casting, given its Japanese source material, does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative centers on themes of justice and power, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film 'Death Note: The Musical' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative, based on the original manga, focuses on the psychological battle between Light Yagami and L, without incorporating queer identities or relationships into its plot or character development.
Death Note: The Musical does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, its overall portrayal of transsexual individuals and experiences is rated as N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The musical adaptation faithfully retains the canonical genders of all established characters from the original Death Note manga. No major or legacy characters are portrayed with a different gender than their source material depiction.
The 2017 Japanese production of "Death Note: The Musical," directed by Tamiya Kuriyama, primarily featured Japanese actors portraying characters who were either canonically Japanese or whose race was not explicitly defined as non-Japanese in the source material. No characters established as one race were portrayed as a different race.
