What a plot twist. An inmature chick with the Shimigami eyes. She's going to be a lot of trouble for Light in the future.

Eh, like in many other shows a dumb and annoying girl has to appear at one point or another. That aside, the episode was great. L doesn't stop to amaze me.

Amazing,now we have 2 Kiras in the game,and seems that that girl (the 2nd Kira),have made that Deal of the Shinigami Eyes,so now she can see the name of the people...
Will they work together to "clean" the world?
Or it will be a triple fight? (Kira vs Kira2 vs L?)
Very interesting...

Kira (Light) has killed innocents before. He killed all the police officers and FBI agents involved in the Kira case. They = Innocents. Therefore, L should not have thought anything was out of the ordinary.

But Misa//Second Kira pretty much killed anyone who went in front of that building, so it was kind of different.

Weird twist! Wasn't expecting it at all. I did feel that the Kira from the tapes wasn't Light, but I couldn't think of a good explanation. Should be interesting to see what Misa brings to the table.

The eyes!
Why did I say that? Well here is the real question: Can you see other Shinigami's with those eyes?

Think about it. The girl doesn't know Kira's real name so she can't find him like that. But if she sees a Shinigami around Light.. Hmm this is getting interesting, and maybe too complicated.

I wonder if Light will get this assumption too. Or it might be by default that you can see other Shinigami if you can already see one, than just the one who lost/gave away the Death Note.

Oh now that I read your post... indeed I felt something was different too, but in the end I went with the train of thoughts that this is how it was wanted to be animated. And that if his father would have indeed been seen then he would have been incapable of killing him thus making Light suspect #1 and all his work to be a lot harder.

Sorry, but geniuses just see more things with the same information. they don't have the ability to pull things out of their asses.


lol... I agree also they accepted the fact that there are now 2 people running around with the impossible ability/god-like power to kill someone on a whim... One fine... but two?!?! i mean the human imagination can only stretch so far... what's likeliness of one assuming that people are gaining these abilities left and right... and not only the same ability but an an even more advanced version of the first? I'm not buying... it's logical to assume that Kira's gotten more serious... or deranged depending on how your looking at it... and has begun to act slightly out of character, And all in all L works with logic granted a far more advance logic than most but logic yet and still.

o yea and it's looking like i'm gonna love Misa.


My thoughts exactly. L thought of that way too quickly and decisive. I would buy it if he needs to figure that out for maybe the whole episode or 2.
Actually people could came up with the conclusion that the serial killer can kill with just a look in the face and name... its pretty far fetched to begin with.

GUYS USE SPOILER TAGS FOR MANGA DISCUSSION!!! in fact why r u even talking about manga on this ANIME site for EPISODE discussion!???

Change of styles? I dont think so. Before Kira is only killing innocents who r after him and criminals. Now, in everyone's view, kira suddenly 'changed styles' and killed EVERYONE who's a threat or oppose to him. If the director dont broadcast the videos, kira will kill him. If anyone try to stop the videos from broadcasting, kira kills them. To prove he IS kira, he killed two innocents on TV. Instead of the first kira, killing in the shadow using his BRAINS, this kira TELLS the police and L to show their faces. Its too big of a difference to call it simply a 'change of styles'.

Thats just like trying to find a killer in secret, gathering evidences, but suddenly one day say it publicly for the killer to show his face. Like shikamaru changing into naruto all of a sudden (using brains to doing things recklessly). Definitely impossible. Therefore its completely logical to deduct that there's 70% chance this is a 2nd kira.

Besides this kira doesnt need to know a person's name to kill. Thats even more so proves that there r two kiras

I'm more surprised that Light has shown no sign of being surprised about sudden appearance and actions of "fake Kira", it's almost like he was expecting it. He better find out more about Misa soon or she'll be just in his way if she acts on her own even if she intends to support him.

oh....god... this episode was amazing L was so pissed sad and angry about mr "yukita's death that he was shaking . L is so pissed at that moment but he composed himself quickly enough to help mr yagami that was awesome i acually cried when that police officer (yukita) died he was a great cop also the way L gave commands to everybody through the phone is so epic i didnt blink once L is awesome...

so L is going to test light and get light/kira's help to catch the fake KIRA wow... two birds with one stone this is going to be epic as hell also the way L figure it out makes perfect sense because L has a clear incite on the real KIRA :3 i love you L :3

I was asking myself if Light has really gone that low.

But L's deduction make sense. Not only Kira killed people that weren't even criminals, as he also killed people just by looking at them ,instead of face and name. That was such a dramatic change that he deduced the possibility of a different, but similar killer.

And if he already noticed the change on behavior of Kira when he was observing Light, I bet he is observing him offscreen to know of such a stunt as to go to near of a television station.

Also ,HELLOOOOOOO Harley Quinn! Also, that is a woman shinigami? Well, it's not like the story bothers in explaining what exactly are shinigamis.

But I bet Light and Misa are in such different circles that is more easy to one shinigami to notice the other than one think the other is a Kira.

Actually, wanna bet that L will find Misa and by him that she will meet Light? It's only natural. L will try to investigate the two, and just like Light, it will be more easy if he keeps Misa close.

I absolutely agree, it disturbed me a lot and I skipped many of the comments because I was afraid of someone spoiling something (more). Usually I love to read other comments to see what other people think, but situations like these are a little unfortunate.

I just have to mention that I love L's voice... I really really like it. And I like his character a lot. Probably one of my new favorites.
And I like Light too, he has his own view on things which might seem a bit twisted, but I enjoy seeing his solutions and way of thinking. It's very interesting.
Who wouldn't like to have a pet Shinigami? I mean, it would be so amazing :D Just feed him/her apples and they keep you company all day long. No worries on taking care of them or transportation. No one can see them and they don't have restrictions anywhere! (No mall bans Shinigamis, right?) A perfect companion! Cute and low maintenance! :D

Aside from that, this precise episode was pretty good! A nice twist, wasn't expecting it at all. I really love this about Death Note, I can't really predict much. And we get some new characters! That's nice, I wonder what part they'll have in the story.

During the first half of this ep, I was like, why did Light go that far to be against the world when he certainly hadn't have full control of it?
And it turned out to be the crazy fan girl. Nice twist!
BTW, it occurred to me that Light has red eyes in the ED after seeing the girl's death eyes. Is that a hint that he will finally make the deal with Ryuk?

good I like animes where I am wrong in predicting and this is second time in this anime ;]

I like this girl, but she is different from the OP, she looks crazy and bit**y, but the one from the OP looks lost or lonely and pretty and hair color is different ;o

I'm trying to hold judgement on how they handle Misa in the anime.
I found her character type makes sense in terms of Light's interactions with her later, and progresses the story in necessary ways, but gOD if I don't really like her as a person herself.

Also, though I think a lot of this anime is full of coincidences for the plot to move forwards, I actually didn't find L's deductions to be too far-fetched considering Light isn't big into theatrics. Having it on the news stations and the general ambiance has a specific flair that Light does not have.

This anime is starting to feel a tad aged in terms on news consumption. Watching the news at home on a boxy television will really seem out of place in the next decade, if it doesn't already. It doesn't take away from the actual story itself, but anyone that didn't live around that time will have a different perception, I think.

Would be funny if Soichiro Yagami walk instead of riding a vehicle and dead in that TV Station. If that were to happen, Light would likely to be cleared of suspicion. And since Soichiro is inside a van that only means the Shinigami Eyes is not like a X-RAY eye that can see through things.

5 Shinigami into the human world and it could be the end of Japan.

Uhm, I liked the episode but I'm not too fond of that new girl. Mainly, because I think the story will focus on her for a while and I have truly enjoyed the "chase" between L and Light.

Also, I like how L is so polite.
