| I agree - the first display of Light's true intelligence and wow is it creepy x__x but the whole story could have turned upside down if Ray Penber had just left instead of deciding to follow Light for the rest of the day D: And I agree, doing this will just drag attention to himself For a clever guy, he's pretty dense sometimes xD |
 |
| Wow this show gets better and better. You can obviously see this show is going to be very suspensful, Light and L are very clever and cunning. I still really love that Death God. I really thought for a second there, Light was twisted enough to shorten his lifespan in half to Ryuk for the Death God eyes... I imagine he might later on when times get iffy. I wonder when we can see how L looks, not that I dont already know, from MAL. But I want him to stop being so emo. Poor detective, btw. |

| that was tight, iM enjoying this anime for real. |
| i hope that FBI agent's ok.. Rey Penber... i hope he doesn't do anything to him.. he's not a criminal and he's just doing his job!!! anyway.. that sure was smart... really smart... everything was planned.. light's amazing... we have yet to see L's true abilities to counteract light's... so far, light's stll winning. :D |
| Light's way is tooo long to simply say he will easily win when he overcomes the super detective L.... He hopes for a super safe and crime-less utopian world!!! So he will have to do something even more clever to defeat the L guy.... So he discovered the real name of the guy that has being following him.... In fact I'm really hyped up by this episode... Never imagined the animation would turn out that way... I've known the story for a while now and now the animation didn't cease to amaze me.... Nice adaptation of those chapter.... GOOOO.... Justice!!! (Who's Justice anyway? Ryuj? Lol) Signs, Green |

| well light is obviously going to end up killing an innocent man. well light wants to rid the world of evil by killing. L wants to do the same thing but by means of the law. for now i can see myself siding with L What does L stand for anyways? light? L and light are probably the same person and light's on crack. looking forward to the next episode and light's strategy for killing ray penber. |
| if he kills the FBI then L will have better change of finding him, and if he doesnt the FBI will stop following him anyway.. but wow that plan was smart, anther one in the notebook and L doesnt pick it up at all, or so we know of so far |

slothaku said: Isn't the "death note" a little too thin? I mean, what happens when he uses all of it? Can he erase the dead names and start all over again? I looked at wiki - you can ask new sheets from God. But then was told that Death Note will never end. |
slothaku said: Everything's cool but there has been one thing that's been bugging me from the start. Isn't the "death note" a little too thin? I mean, what happens when he uses all of it? Can he erase the dead names and start all over again? That'd better be the case, coz our little Light seems to waste it a little too recklessly, as seen in this episode and when he got angry at that fake L guy on TV. Who cares? |

| Wow, Light is way too smart. The way he pieces everything together and covers himself up at the same time is just incredible. Another fantastic episode...this is addictive O.O |
| VERY clever with the touching of the paper from the notebook. Great Episode. the next one should be good aswell.. |
     |
| I wonder when we'll see L's face? The mystery behind that guy is overwhelming I just want to know who he is and what he's like. Light's stunt on the bus = brilliance. I hope he doesn't kill that cop though. Then he really would be murdering in cold blood. |
     |
| Clever and intelligent plan by light.. so hes the top scorer in exams, his family is well intact and hes popular with the girls... Usually anime characters have some sort of domestic issues or problems but light seems like an ideal person o.o.. Though i guess his morals and views can be considered naive in some ways.. That L guy seems smarter by abit though, and its suprising that he'd suspect something super natural straight away.. Though i guess I cant say L is smarter since he has alot more resources to work with as oposed to light on his own. |
 |
| again amazing episode :D i only hope he will not kill Ray Penber...he was only doing his job,he isn't a murderer i hope Light will not turn into a crazy(er) dude than he is and trying to kill everything that can lead to his discovery by the police |

| Wow, way cool! This show is awesome so far. Light is pretty smart huh. I think it's unrealistic that L's been able to narrow the suspects down so far, nobody's that good a detective. If somebody had a Death Note in real life they'd never be caught. But I guess the show would be boring if Light didn't have an opponent equal to him. I'm stoked to see what happens next. |
| Light is a truely intelligent person. But, the sad thing is, so is L. They are two people with a very smart mind who are searching for each other. I cannot wait to see how it plays out. |

I love this anime so far! It is different because most shows you would side with the main character, but usually the main character is a hero stopping the bad guys. On the other hand, in Death Note the main character is technically a bad guy. |
 |
| Wow, just fucking wow, this is getting too awesome, neeext. |
 |
| Wow. I'm amazed. I have a big grin on my face! |

| I hope he doesn't kill Ray Penber. While Light is an anti-hero, I still like him as a character. Truly "evil" acts would change my opinion. |
| That plan was just awesome, but he does not need to kill the inspector now anymore. And I think he wont. |
| Nice thinking. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I don't know why is Kira making such a dangerous moves - like he's losing sanity and he's not even close to fulfilling his dream at this early point. In the same time Light doesn't even need to kill the agent, knowing that he's out of suspicions... |
  |
| The way Light made the FBI agent show his ID was fucking brilliant, though its a bit risky depending on how he handles the situation afterwards. If I were him, I would kill him off later in the future, not right after. (but hes probably already planning that considering how smart he is) |
 |
| wow really good episode so intense...im loving the soundtrack too |
 |
| Quite an intense episode and clever! Another great episode up to the next one :D |
 |
| Awesome episode. Light is clever as hell. To think up such a plan...wow. The whole situation on the bus was pretty cool. As he said himself : death note never fails. |
 |
| Haha, what a complicated plan. |

| Knowing how thickheaded Light is, he is going to kill the FBI dude in one or two episodes....which will allow L to zero in on his location. Kill the agent, and L knows exactly who Kira is instantly... |
Sabinlerose said: Knowing how thickheaded Light is, he is going to kill the FBI dude in one or two episodes....which will allow L to zero in on his location. Kill the agent, and L knows exactly who Kira is instantly... This has been droning through my head since last episode. Right now Light seems more clever than L when it comes to running small gambits here and there, but L is abler to see the big picture. |
| Brilliant :) |
| Maybe the best episode from the beginning of the series,because we can see how liar Light can be. The whole idea for killing that guy was very creative. But now he wants to kill that Fb inspector,that's very bad. In this episode i think we can see the real Light!i |

| I can't help but compare this to Code Geass. I have a feeling where this is going. |
| Very thrilling episode indeed! It won't be my favourite show ever, but hella fun to watch! 5/5 One plot hole: What if the bus hijacker guy repeated what Ryuk was saying? Like what if he repeated Light's name? Then, that would prove that Light was an accomplice to the plan. Another thing: I don't see why he has to kill Ray Jenber (did I spell that right) after Ray deems that Light is innocent in his book. It would seem more suspicious if the guy trailing Light dies right after. @_@ Oh well, we shall see. PumpkinSmiley said: I can't help but compare this to Code Geass. I have a feeling where this is going. Yeah it's really similar in terms of strategizing :) Loving the logic and plans! |
| I think all the Inspector were just a trap. If the inspector dies the one that he is assign to is Kiri and i think Light fell in the trap of L |
| Light is so damn smart. |
| I don't understand the reason for killing Ray, if Ray dies it will be obvious that Light is the culprit. As the man following him died of whatever. Well true that all of them died and that they will have to go trough all of whom they followed, but then there's that lady. Also L should know that anyone capable of all that has to have an high IQ so why doesn't he cross check the police and relatives/close to them with IQ's that they can gather or class results of each... |
 |
| basically just bein faithful to the manga so far |
"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." |
| Loved it and am kinda surprised Light didn't accept the deal, and I wonder whether he will later on. I am as well surprised by his quick-wittedness. Superb :3 |
