ao_no_exo said: Which reminds me, L is like his name. Isn't that enough to kill him? (In the case where a criminal survived because Light got wrong information on the criminal's name. The criminal was able to escape -or so did one of the police members say-; but in this case saying L to L is like his name/nickname. I would have experienced with nicknames too) L is a nickname. U need someone's real name in order to kill them. Like that fake name naomi used, it didnt work. Waiting4Infinity said: but if there is only a 5% chance, i can see looking into it, but WHY put in all the effort? why not put more of the effort into the other 95%? L sure has a strange way of working. There is no other 95%. U r thinking this like 'theres 40% chance ill pass this test and 60% chance I wont'. Its actually 'either A or B stole my wallet, but A is more likely, however I dont have any evidence, just my guts feeling tole me A was the thief', and thus it's only 5%. RafaelDeJongh said: Quite nice episode I do wonder what L is trying to archive by going to the University with him! get in contact with the suspect, observe him personally, and see if Light will falter after knowing he is L. Its just like living with the police after u killed someone, normally killers would be nervous in this situation and slip up. L want to c if light would do tat. |

| This shit gets better each episode, nice. Bold yet very effective move from L indeed. I liked how both got opposite reactions from audience, lol. |
   “There are two kinds of arrogance. One where you are unequal to the task and one where your dreams are too big. The former is commonplace stupidity... but the latter is a rare species that is difficult to find.”  |
| Another great episode. 5/5 |

| Very curiou how this is possibly going on ._. |
 |
| That evil laugh was great. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| L really is strange the way he always sits with his shoes off lol. Light is a little crazy, can't wait to see what happens next. |
 |
| L is really taking some big risks here. 5/5 |
 |
| I think that it was pretty obvious this episode that Light is a bit... what would you call him.. Crazy maybe? Either way another amazing episode, Light was being amazing and L is also a mastermind. Tho it's funny how similar they actually are, with just one basic difference (+looks). It's almost ironic. I'm completely fascinated on how Lights mindset works and how he deals with it, I actually don't find his character repulsive at all. As weird as it sounds, I don't judge him. I am merely fascinated (deeply). This anime raises mixed questions and feelings. I love it, I love the confusion and uncertainty. You just don't know what to expect. I would just point out that when a girl said she liked the boy on the right I kind of agreed with her. I have no idea what this would be like in real life, but at that moment I preferred L. Tho it's not that I like him more generally, I like them both a lot. L is so weirdly adorable and I just like him. The opening is amazing and I'm enjoying the ED a lot. I love the songs and the lyrics are perfect. Can't wait to see how it's all going to play out. They'll probably seem to be friends, which will be really nice, but they actually aren't, which is sad. |

Doya said: Yeah. Same here...I'm jealous of L for all those snacks he has... |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Solving equations with his right hand and writing with his left. Gold. |
| Crap, Light is already out of his mind. |
“Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Holy shit!! xD epic episode, the drama, the excitment, the emotions the whaever! shit is about too get real. xD the big "fight" about coming, really interesting personality Light have, same goes too L, so "calm" both are fucking geius xD really funny n interesting to watch this anime. |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Dang this is getting intense. I understand some people are asking why L is investigating Light even with a 5 percent, but L has already revealed himself as a thorough individual. Remember L was suspicious that Kira is a student but told everyone not to exclude any other possibilities? Also, I don't think L has any other better leads |
| What a bold move from L showing up right in front of his enemy! It's also awesome to use an idol's name as his fake name based on what Light analyzed. Dat girl student likes L? Nice eye confirmed. BTW, Ryuk is probably a handsome one compared to his peers. A side note, I watched the recap of last ep at the beginning of this ep, the way Light did with the mini TV was bullshit. Like you won't be found looking into the crisp packet or the TV being on inside of it under 64 cameras? Seriously? |

| I think I love L, holy cow XD I'm with Kyoko, I like the guy on the right lmao I nearly threw my desk out of the window when he just told Light who he was. I knew I was right about Light being suspicious because he's trying too much to be the "good son". Nobody is that perfect...so you could say perfection itself is the most suspicious thing. His god complex is getting out of hand! What an entertaining twist though- Light and L are the top two students in the same university. I love it. Their interactions are great, and this "friendship" performance is gonna be hilarious to watch!! People be saying L looks shabby, but he still took the time to put some shoes on so... Also laughed at Light's little bitch-fit at the end of the episode- with his feathers so easily ruffled it's even more evident that his egotistical, bratty nature is gonna have a detrimental effect on his plans. |

| So I hope L(the monkey) finally dies in the next 2-3 episodes and we get to see who got second death note as was said in first ep that there are two lost. Light is the main bad guy :D this villain laughter ;d and I want to know who this cute girl in OP is :D |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| I really don't like L's english voice ><; I'm not usually picky about those things but eugh. |
 |
| currently rewatching this show raw and loving it. 'watashi wa eru desu' gave me goosebumps! |
| Even L admit that Light is too perfect, LOL. Finally someone scold L way of sitting L should be questioned for using that pop idol's name That evil laugh at the end make me laugh 2 Things are getting interesting |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Really hope Ryuk would help Light out :) |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Light should've acted a bit more surprised when L introduced himself; he looked too cool. Jesus, and L looks creppy as hell. |
 |
| Gosh, L is just a big old creep creep weirdo. Ewww. |
  🔥 🔥 🔥 . 阿良々木 暦, 傷 物 語 . 🔥 🔥 🔥 Build a man a fire and you'll warm him for a night but set a man on fire and you'll warm him for the rest of his life... - H E N D Y - |
| L has some balls, I did not expect him to do this play. Just straight up telling Light who he is. But it had the desired effect! |
 |
| the battle has officially started~! i don't know which side to cheer on. i mean light is a pretty entertaining murderer. and it's just interesting from his perspective. but i mean L's side is also worthy. like very worthy. idk this is too hard to choose. |

| I had a couple little issues with this episode, nothing too gamechanging but I feel like they should've been a bit better addressed. Firstly, the whole scenario of Light only having a 5% suspicion rate from L and mainly focusing on how L's trying to learn more about Light almost like he's solely focusing on him even though the percentage is that slim. Either L on the inside, deeply suspects Light (like a 50% chance instead of 5 like he tells the rest of the force) but tries to get him to budge into some potential traps to get some answers before he reveals to the force on what he really feels about Light Yagami as a potential suspect to be Kira. Secondly, Light does talk to himself a little too much at night, especially with the laugh at the end. Maybe some little things like the sister telling him to be quiet at night or his mom, just to show that while he's talking to himself, its not loud and obvious enough for the others around his place to get what he's saying while also maintaining the fact that the rest of the family have working ears when their son just screams and laughs maniacally in the middle of the night. Regardless of those, I did love how L just quickly but Light in a mental check mode, by revealing himself in front of Light while having the alias of a pop star who has the same name. Since if Light does choose to write down L's alias, it just kills the pop star instead and immediately its checkmate and game over for Light. Plus it would be too suspicious for Light's part if L dies quickly since he made it clear to the public that he's contacted Light a few times and got the same score as Light in the exams too and delivered the speech together as well. L's trapped Light already, but Light's at least aware of it and can figure out with time on how to navigate through this murky situation by befriending L for a bit, learn by some chance his true name and kill him off at a later time where he doesn't feel as suspicious as he would now if he tried anything. Good intensity yet again. |
Botato said: Zadion said: He doesn't have any other leads and everything he learned about the situation thus far led him to that 5%. Now obviously when that 5% is the only thing he has going for his case he would focus on it. Throwing it away because it's a small number is not practical from L's point of view especially considering the wasted effort if he starts over. The problem I have is that I think it's ridiculous for L to put this much effort into investigating a few people whom he admits have no more than a 5% chance of being Kira. The fact that Light is Kira is irrelevant, because L doesn't know that; "detective's intuition" is not a good enough excuse to focus on something so insignificant. Kira continues to kill countless people (23 a day?); I'd think this would be an urgent enough situation that L would put more effort into an investigation that has more likelihood of turning results than a measly 5%. And how exactly would he go about finding a higher likelihood if this 5% came from Kira killing FBI agents that targeted a small group of people from the police; something relatively specific? If that only has a 5% chance then anything else he might try to get a lead would probably not even be 1%. I'd say chances are this 5% is just bullshit and he's more than 50% sure at least though. Zadion said: But they are doing their best. It's just that what they can do is very limited, especially when there are so few people working on the case.Which brings me to my next point: L and the police force are curiously lackadaisical about this considering the urgency of the situation. As I said, huge numbers of people are dying, and each day Light lives, a lot more people are going to die. Why, then, are they so relaxed? Would they press harder at finding Kira immediately if it was innocent people being killed instead of criminals? If so, it's easy to assume they view the criminals as lesser humans whose lives are worth less value anyway, and that completely negates the purpose of their investigation to begin with - if they believe the lives of the criminals are worth less than the lives of the innocent, then they are essentially agreeing with Light. Zadion said: I don't see how that helps them in the investigation. They figured out that they have to hide their names and faces to not be killed by this mysterious power or person, that's all they need to know for now. They can get the details when the case is over; no point in wasting time trying to figure out the method.And that completely ignores the fact that no one has even bothered to question how Kira is killing people like this. The methods of death and the fact he controls how they die and what they do before dying to the levels he does is more than enough proof that he's using some type of supernatural means, something that would typically be questioned. Woah you both should have joined the detectives lol. You both are putting your points very well! |

| Ryuk has mad contortionist skills! LOL L just perches and looks so wack. |
| I was surprised when L did that! This anime is getting better and better each episode. Also, I'm supposed to be studying, but here I am. |
 |
| this anime is honestly a lot better than I was expecting so far |
