‘Death Note’ character used to encourage voting in this recent election

It seems that anime and politics are continuing to go hand in hand with each other. Earlier this month, Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.) was censured over an edit of Attack on Titan that involved President Joe Biden and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y). A bit more recently, Kanji Yamanouchi, Ambassador and Consul General of Japan in New York, took to social media to shred on guitar to Demon Slayer’s opening song to welcome the recent Anime NYC convention.

Now, it looks like it’s time to bring Death Note into the mix. The Observatorio Democrático Juventud Honduras (Democratic Youth Observatory Honduras) NGO posted an ad featuring Light Yagami from the series to encourage people to vote in Honduras’ presidential election. The ad, which was published to the organization’s Facebook page, reads: “The Power Is In Your Hands.”
