I guess it was useful for someone who delayed watching ep 25 for so long because she didn't want to see L die xD and in all honesty, I'm quite impressed with how they managed to get the whole of the first 25 episodes condensed into 15 minutes >x< also the 4 year jump works better in the anime than the manga I think.. I seem to remember just turning the page and suddenly I was in 2012 thinking: "Whhhhhaaaaaaaaattttt?!?!" and getting rather peed off by the whole situation xD but yes. enter Mello and Near. yay. (I miss L too much to like them xD) i agree i took ages to watch ep 25 xD im thinking now why did i watch the series coulda just watched that :p no really that was a pointless flashback and i think they done L's death better in the anime they drew it out more, made it more epic (which it should be i mean it is L) |
| heey it's the death notes :D |
     My pokemon bring all the boys to the yard... |
| Well, other than Light's character being completely killed, it looks like this will be interesting. |
| More & More people are dead, Light is going even more insaine. But who in the world were those people at the end? oh well.. good episode though. :P |

I loved this episode and the flashbacks were useful and It was amazing that it recapped everything previous to this episode in 15mins, usually in most animes the recaps aren't as condensed and are too long or unnecessary. I thought it was very useful in setting the stage since we jump into the future 4 years. loved it, but i miss L. LOL, Misa, you fool. WOW 2012. Damn, Light you just get crazier and crazier. |

| OMG it got so epic towards the end! |
     |
| Light has changed though, i remember thinking he was bad-ass now he just seems childish,cheap and evil lol |
 |
| light's starting to suck :\,don't kill those that have families dude,or atleast wait for the kids to grow up :( 2012???so Light's the disaster the aztecs were talking about?xD oh well i think that those kids at the end will play a vital role for this from now and i think that they will defeat light somehow... |

| It's turning into Bleach@!!! |
| Recap with a little bit of story in the end. Near and Mello are coming, but I didn't expect so much time to pass. |
| Felt like a recap. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| half of it was flashbacks seems like a lot of time has past and Light is now 23 |
| L I will miss you terribly. |

No, at '12 we all die by that asteroid, heh IzzyReigns said: My guess is that they are orphan kids trained in the way L was trained. one of them looked interestingly like L, the eyes matched up. I can't wait to see how thing turn out.More & More people are dead, Light is going even more insaine. But who in the world were those people at the end? |
| The entire episode is a flashback, you could just ski it. Near is a lot like L aside from he is cold and unemotional. Mello, however is the opposite, and he despises Near. Now there is no L vs. Light drama, it's nice to see the battle between Mello and Near instead. |
 |
| Its definitely boring once L dies. I think Light definitely got careless with killing the con-artist & the thief, as well as the workers left at Yotsuba. Although he is very clever, his actions are sometimes flawed and that is what lead to his demise in the end. |
 |
| inb4Lhasnoname See, even Light is sad that he killed L. And now he even kills his own (former) accomplices. And does Misa know about Rem? To think all this happened simnply because Ryuk was bored. |
| Surely, condensing all the previous 25 episodes in 10 minutes is INSANE. What was the author's intent with the recap? (Starting the episode with L still alive can be an answer). People who didn't understand or forgot what happened before will still remotely understand all the elaborate events that led to L and Rem's death, except for the fact that Light is a truly bastard (but I should say that for some people this final assumption is enough to go on with the series); and people who know the previous events by heart will be bored to death, like me. Anyway, that's not the point, so here are some thoughts raised by this episode: - Who sent the message to the old man regarding the death of L? Was it an automatic message planned by L himself in case of his death? - Once you've finished a white jigsaw puzzle, what's next? A white Rubic cube? - Light you're a truly bastard. |
| I miss L |

Danger_Danger_ said: - Once you've finished a white jigsaw puzzle, what's next? A white Rubic cube? hahahahah :D lmao!!! so funny ^^ |
| Hrmph, flashbacks. But the end... I'm assuming those are up-and-coming protagonists? |
| Half of it recap the rest of it quite fascinating events! but what was up with that transmission at the end and those 2 characters? |
 |
| It seems that L is dead but now we're getting some chibi versions of him. Not too sure about this. In any case, I loved Misa's reaction when Light said he wanted them to live together. |

| Well, since L is dead it's a little to easy for Light to kill now. However the guys at the end of the episode made me curious. |
 |
| I wonder if Light will run of pages sooner or later. |

Can't wait to see Light's reaction XD Well, I enjoyed the recap because it's L's voice.. I'll miss him DarkShards said: I wonder if Light will run of pages sooner or later. L, OL |
"Signature removed"   |
| I know L actually DIED in the last ep, but I was still seriously hoping he somewhat didn't .. silly me, he really did die T_T |
| Screw flashbacks. I skipped to the present. Light is too good at acting. LOL |
| Oh man I miss L |
| recap episode but still enjoyed |
| The show was amazing up until this point. It wasn't even L. dying that ruined the show. It was Near and Mello. They are so corny! |
| Interested in Japanese dance songs? See this thread: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=702085 |
| Oh so new guys come to be the new L. Well there's a little disappointment. Anyways something interesting is bound to happen. And I'll watch it, but right now I feel like the anime was over. And this just a farewell from the producers. I'll base my vote on these 26 episodes just in case later on I'll think that the following ones ruin it. 10/10. |

"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." |
| So this was set in the future? since it was set in 2012, didn't know that lol. Didn't see the point of all the flashbacks really. Then we got half a decent episode where we learned Watari was an inventor and owned orphanages, what a nice guy lol. I guess Roger runs an orphanage or something. |

stephtastrophe said: It's called a recap. Most people find it bad, but whatever.Didn't see the point of all the flashbacks really. |
 |
| I didn't mind the flashbacks. They were actually pretty helpful since I stopped watching for almost a year after ep 25. The other half was okay. |
| I'm glad this wasn't only a recap episode :) |
 |
| Light is so craycray. Jesus. I already kinda miss L. The preview for the next ep leaves something to be desired. |
| First half was typical recap, but people are too hard on recaps IMO. If you're marathoning the series, obviously its boring and pointless. However, for people who were watching one episode a week as it aired (or, alternatively, for people who took a break after the last episode since that would be the perfect spot to take a break at), recaps help a lot. As long as no more than half an episode is recap, I'm fine with it. Still, the second half was very very cool. Especially the end. Holy shit, I got goosebumps. Light has been allowed to continue on like that for SIX YEARS and no one was able to figure it out? My goodness. And it's no wonder people claim L's death is when Light really lost it; I could defend Light before, but it seems he's gone completely insane. |

| Recap isn't really that bad, I enjoyed it. Probably because it felt like L was still around. With L gone things go very smoothly for Light. But even Light seems to be bored with there's noone challenging as him around anymore. But I wonder if Misa forgot about Rem or she's just unaware of her fate? Anyway, I hope L will be succeeded with someone capable as him, I assume it's going to be these orphans. Let's see what they have to offer... |
