Could Light have reincarnated as a shinigami?
An Unnamed Shinigami debuted in the "Director's Cut" one-shot special of the Death Note anime which only aired in Japan. Like Ryuk, he too was bored with the Shinigami Realm. This Shinigami has a skeletal figure and dons a coat, a pair of goggles, uses a tie as a headband and carries a large skeletal object which he uses like a hammer. He takes an interest in Ryuk's visit to the human realm, and bribes Ryuk with a Shinigami Apple in exchange for information how to undertake passage into the human world. Ryuk accepts, and begins to tell the story of Light Yagami's legend in regards to the Death Note. Before Ryuk can finish, however, the Unnamed Shinigami is gone, leaving the Shinigami Realm with his sights set on the Human World.
This Unnamed Shinigami may be the reincarnation of Light Yagami. Here are some reasons why:
The coat he wears looks very similar to the one Light was wearing when he died.
He walks up stairs to meet Ryuk, which could be seen as a subtle reference to Light's death.
The way he tosses the apple to Ryuk, as Light did when alive.
A red tie (which looks like Light's) is wrapped around the Shinigami's head.
The Shinigami walks into a bright flash of light at the top of the stairs.
The fact that he inexplicably knows Ryuk's love for apples without asking the other Shinigami.
The fact that Ryuk says "Light" after the Unnamed Shinigami leaves.
The red eyes that in the anime shows Light's 'Kira' personality.
He carries a scythe, similar to how Light does in some pieces of artwork.
The limp displayed while walking up the stairs is similar to the way Light limped out of the warehouse.
The Shinigami's mouth is shaped like Light's "Kira" smile.
The Unnamed Shinigami does not stay to hear the end of Ryuk's story, yet he is very interested about the human world... If he is the reincarnation of Light, he knows how the story ends and does not want or need to hear about it.
Light is standing in the Shinigami Realm during the end of the second Intro.
The Shinigami sports a messenger bag almost identical to the one Light often carried with him in Season One.
I believe he's a shinigami, and Misa will be one too, but only those to will become a shinigami.
