I like the idea that death note users become shinigami after death. Unfortunately the evidence is spelled out too clearly. Death note users can neither go to heaven nor hell. However, a different rule states that death note users are sent to MU which literally translates to void, and has nothingness in parenthases next to the word. Add in the fact that the void is where arbiters souls come from, and its pretty clear that once you use the death note to judge who lives and who dies, you are immediately sent to the void upon your death, and are given first consideration over other souls in the void to become arbiters since you already are a judge. i dont think its a coincidence that death note users become less human over time either. and i think since the arbiters all seem to have different levels of human emotions anyway, as they become more experienced with judgements, and become jaded by the system like nona and quin, they are "promoted" to shinigami. then as shinigami, they are forced to live miserable lives in the shinigami realm until they truly discover love and selflessness, at which time they die, and are reincarnated as normal good humans. its a giant circle of checks and balances that keeps humanity and the afterlife in order, and also well staffed.
