| i love love ls way of going about interrogating yagami. so darn direct lol. |
 |
| Okay, I really disliked Light first, but maybe I'm starting to like him a little. Because he's smart and actually believes what he's doing is justifiable. But I also hate him because he's an arrogant brat. See? I'm starting to contradict myself. Only thing I know that I want L to catch him eventually. Or don't I? Xinil said: Light IS badass. Can you kill people just by writing down their name in a book? But you don't, so Light is > you. :PMaybe if I had a Death Note. Also, for the record, I DID like Light the most in the beginning... Light's definitely super smart. And heartless. But badass? Because he's writing names in a notebook that he simply found laying on the ground? I really don't think so. But I could be wrong. Mod Edit: Please do not double post. |

| Man this is quickly becoming one of my favorite anime's. The story is just so compelling. |
| I love the battle of the Geniuses. why dont light deal with ryuk 1000 apples for the eye of death God |
| This anime makes everything look epic. Even tennis matches. |
| Hmm the chat and thoughts of both L and Light are just awesome. I must say I love anime in which something I can't expect will happen. Thus I liked Steins;Gate. But Death Note is different from Steins;Gate even so I love it so far. |

| man so much meta thinking in that tennis game. they need to not overthink it so much. its just a tennis match lol |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Cool tennis match. Light was hot in a suit and a tennis outfit <3 |
 |
| So that's why he's sitting in my favorite pose. xd ^3^ Light's got good combination skills, admirable. Like him. |
 |
| Sweet episode overall. I have a strong suspicion that L's "suspicion percentage" of Kira will continue to increase until something drastic happens to end L's involvement... prematurely. Not this soon with those tapes, though. |

Waiting4Infinity said: Okay, if there is just a 7% chance Light is Kira (although we know he obviously is) why pay attention to it. He should investigate it, but he should pay more attention to the other freakin 93%. again...theres no 93%... Malina said: The creep in the end is stupid. Didn't he said he didn't want any more stories about Kira, yet he's gonna air a story anyway just to not get killed? That just shows what people really do to save their lives. No he means he want some REAL stories about kira, ones that would grab eneryone's attention. Not something like 'a girl died', but 'a elementary girl died in her classroom. She was found with her body cut up and limbs stuffed into her desk, the only suspect is her 5 yrs old baby brother who was holding a bloody spoon trying to cut out her eyeballs'...something like that. (Just an example) u getwat m saying? |
| Seems like "Kira" will work on some propaganda. He works to become "the god of new world and become justice" but his image is still bad to the public where almost noone thinks of him that way and see him as an evil mass-murderer. |

   “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.”  |
| Good episode. 4/5 |
 |
| I didn't think "L" could move that fast by looking at him, let alone play a sport.. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| I found it really interesting and intense as well, just hearing there monologue going back and forth with assumptions and motives was really awesome i was on the edge of my seat.... and i dont even like tennis., xD |
| When I asked for some chill time I surly was not thinking of that lol Badass Tennis gameplay |
 |
| I liked when Ryuk mentioned leaving the sentimental crap to humans.. |
 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. |
| The tennis match was intense. At the end I was so hyped, can't wait to see the tapes! |
 |
| Wow, that's one tennis match. L loses 40% of his skills if he sits normally, lol! 5/5 |
 |
| That was cool. I want more Light vs L. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| ihihihihihi. :P how exciting!! fucking giggiling here xD this is just too funny, and interesting to watch! Next episode! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| This ep went from DN to Prince of Tennis in like 1 second, lol. L got his fan girl's eyes on him. |
 |
| I love this constant back and forth between the two of them. It's so damn good that I'm figuratively kicking myself for sleeping on this series for 8 years of my life :'( The atmosphere is insane- even for someone like me who's had two major spoilers...so I can only imagine how gripping this was as it was airing when nobody knew what the ultimate outcome was going to be. Since I know the general gist of the characters and stuff, I'm like 99.9% sure who's behind that broadcast schtick. |

| This is getting annoying, all the time since L started investigation it is "If I do what Kira would do then he will suspect me, if I do what Kira wouldn't do then he will suspect me even more" bla bla bla I hope L dies soon because it ruins the story... Now it will be with this msg to TV? Light know L identity, so by telling in TV that he wants to know L identity he tries to make alibi for himself that Light isnt Kira, but this is not a coincidence. Will L think that way? |
| (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 think the tennis match in the manga was a lot more enjoyable than in the anime. It feels kinda goofy in the anime, ngl. |
 |
| Yeah keeping watch over Light without a TV for a month? Just to prove that he's not Kira? Is he that desperate to escape from being suspected? Bad move Light. If you're really not Kira you wouldn't care less about how long he will suspect you cause in the end they couldn't found proof that you're Kira. If I was Light, I would turn down L as a friend cause he suspect me L has a fangirl now XD |

| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| L really makes things awkward between Light and his father |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| ahh, so that's why L sits like that |

| that was a pretty intense tennis match. although this was more of the unentertaining episodes. it just didn't please me. but overall it was alright. |
 |
| This was definitely the weakest episode of the show for me so far, not a bad one by any means but with visuals that frankly looked really cheap and poor at times for a show that's normally looked really consistent throughout as well as the tennis match not being quite as fascinating as I hoped for it to be between these two geniuses, it left me feeling a bit disappointed despite the good stuff like having Light and L interact more have Light be more involved in the Kira business with the police, as L tries to study and see if Light is Kira while getting the help of another genius to assist the investigation. Poor Souichiro Yagami got hit with a heart attack of his own but luckily, he survived and it was not a Kira-related one. Might help Light's chances of getting closer to the whole research business now that his dad is hospitalized and he knows who L is (doesn't know the name yet). |
| Hmm... looks like Light beat L in tennis in a fair way. When Chief Yagami got a heart attack I though Light did it on purpose to uncover if it's truly L. |
 ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ |
| Very cool to use the tennis match to get into their heads. Haha L's reason for sitting the way he does. |
| love watching the mind games between Light and L |
| I get scared when I hear about Light's father because I thought there was another owner of a Death Note |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| If I put my backpack on the right side it will assume that I am Kira since it is my right arm and so I could easily kill someone else BUT! If I put my backpack on the left side, he'll assume I'm Kira because it's my bad arm and think that if I put it on that side, I'd put myself at a disadvantage on purpose so he'd notice... You've got me cornered L. .. Since when did the 1% suspicion go up to 7% and after seeing him talk to his father he think it's not Kira? xDDD From 1% to 7% and then plummet to 0% |
