Both protagonists are plagued with tragedy, gain prosthetic limbs and are forced to work under a charismatic leader. These series are incredibly bleak as different forms of philosophical doctrine nihilism are incorporated into each series respectively. The bleak atmosphere is also conveyed through the visuals and soundtrack which make the worlds feel desolate and lonely for the protagonists. Both series also contain a political strife between the separate factions; in which the main protagonists get entangled in the conflict.

In both series the main protagonist are confronted with antagonists that try to outwit them through a series of psychological battles. As there are two parties trying to outwit each other it makes both series unpredictable as the audience is constantly questioning who will be outfoxed. If you believe that Kaiji will not interest you as it lacks the supernatural elements that made Death Note intrinsically interesting you may be surprised. Even if you are not interested in gambling Kaiji's struggle to overcome more experienced gamblers through interpreting the situation and forming a simple but unique plan is reminiscent of the plans that Light Yagami formed in his attempt to learn L's identity.
