| This episode we found that L and Kira aren't really that different. They both will do anything it takes to achieve what they want. Kira - world without evil, L - capturing Kira. |
| Placeholder post for proper episode discussion thread. |
 |
| Well I must say I was surprised. And kinda pleased too. There's no more suspicion about Misa.. obviously. Now L saw that hair move on it's own... this is quite problematic for Light. Best of luck for both of them xD. |
 |
| man hes gonna relinquish his own death note |
"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." |
| LOL Ryuk face at the end when Light said goodbye to him! Damn I don't know who to root for... Sometimes I don't like Light or L... and I felt bad for Misa. Good episode man! |
 |
| Awww Rem loves Misa too and wiped her memory! |
 |
| L's a bit creepy.. xD I feel so sorry for Misa. Poor girl. Does she still have shinigami eyes? hmmm...... How come there's a chance now to get rid of the death note and all memories simple as that?-- I had the feeling it wouldn't be so easy... Don't know why... ~~~~~~~ |

| wut... But omg shit is hitting the fan. |
Scerberosu said: Xykij said: I suppose MAL isn't the place to talk about my feelings, so back the point. I agree with everyone saying the L wouldn't know enough to know Misa was the second Kira. Especially a few episodes ago, he came to the conclusion that there was a second Kira with basically no evidence supporting him. Actually, there WAS evidence for the existence of a second Kira, L explained it himself quite clearly - in the video that was used, supposedly by Kira, to convince SakuraTV of their powers (as well as the subsequent video that was broadcast across Japan), the victims were merely people with negative opinions of Kira, who weren't even criminals, and maybe just a few minor criminals. While it's very unlikely for Kira to go after such small fry, it makes much more sense if it was the doing of a "different Kira", because if the latter were to target more notorious criminals, there was the risk of the real Kira eliminating those criminals before them. As a result, the said criminals would end up dying before the second Kira's predicted times for their deaths, thereby ruining their "proof". Furthermore, the policemen who tried to stop SakuraTV's broadcast (including Ukita), died on the spot upon arrival, and the default Kira is supposed to require a face AND a name in order to kill someone, so even if they were observing everything from somewhere, they shouldn't have been able to kill those policemen by just looking at them. Lastly, L didn't guarantee there was a second Kira, he said the probability was just over 70%. As for Misa, in case you don't remember, soon after the second Kira claimed to have found the real Kira, L, knowing that the second Kira was quite eager to meet the original Kira, asked Mogi-san to secretly observe Light's daily activities to see if he got any new friends or whatever (Just in case Light really was Kira, the second Kira probably would've tried to approach him somehow) and consequently, Light was spotted with Misa, whom he was never seen with before, making her a suspect. Obviously, we're to assume that this lead to L sending the police to investigate Misa's room for clues while she was away, and they ended up finding similar stuff to the things they managed to extract from the video tapes and envelopes (such as strands of hair, pieces and crumbs of snacks, etc.), and L was seen with a table full of all that evidence; evidence that the second Kira's videos were very likely made in Misa's room. By the way, I couldn't help but condemn the way Misa was tortured under L's instructions in this episode, but on the previous episode, the way L said "Light-kun is the first friend I've ever had" brought me to tears. I can't possibly bring myself to hate that guy :P L making prediction like "there's a second Kira" just because Kira killed small fry that he usually doesnt kill isnt very convincing. If I remember correctly Light did killed some small fry before right? Also its more possible to assume that Kira did something he usually doesnt just to cover himself and deceive people. Also the way to find out that Misa is the second Kira looks way too convenient. It looks more like a plot device for me. Misa said as if she did cover up the tape thing nicely yet the police were able to found evidence in her room SO EASILY. Also thanks to Misa's stubbornness for meeting Light severe time in the public that she become one of the suspect. Too EASY. This episode isnt as smart as some of the previous one. To me in this case its more like the writer doesnt know how to counter the fact that Light and Misa joined force to kill L but resort to some plot convenience. |
| wow... wow... wow. This episode... incredible. Got teary eyed at the end for real. |

| Kinda disturbing how they subdued Misa in that room. Light: "Ryuk, this is goodbye." Ryuk: WUT |
 |
| Yup, definitely another good episode |

Waiting4Infinity said: i've never hated light so much lol, i notice that i sit how l does, i'm doing it right now, i sometimes do it in class and at lunch, i get scolded my the teachers. XD lol L's being a bad influence on kids... |
| L was sure priceless here, lol. He completely turned the tides. Kinda felt sorry for Misa, but it serves her right. She was more of a nuisance than help to Light at all. She'll probably be better off without a Death Note too. Though, with that, Light won't be able to know L's real name. Let's see what he has to do next. |
   “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.”  |
| Ha, I'm surprised that I don't care if Light uses Misa (and rather he would for his own benefit). If this were in any other situation, that definitely would not be the case. Though then again, their relationship isn't really that of "lovers", completely one-sided, and Light could really care less and do without her. She's definitely a convenient plot device, but I like that she put Light in hot water. Also, a bit of respect for her since she lasted confinement like that for several days. Seems like Light is going to lose his memories as well - because there's no way he'd kill himself, so the farewell could only mean he's giving up ownership of the DN. Preview kind of indicates it too since he looks like he's in confinement. I wonder how this will affect L - it's very evident that despite what he says, he's more or less certain that Light is Kira and is completely acting on that idea. I feel that he based his analysis of the tape on Light entirely, and so forth - so arresting Misa (she was seen before with Light) is due to the timing of her appearance. L won't express his thoughts on that truthfully though, and I doubt he would show himself to be so vulnerable to Light. Even his "heartfelt" lines before seemed to try and shake Light just as much as it was his personal feelings towards him. Maybe he's trying to get Light to break or show some vulnerability before acting fully on his notion. Honestly I think the way L narrowed down Light to Japan, his abilities, etc in the beginning was more ridiculous. This is small stuff I won't sweat unless it becomes blatantly atrocious writing. I'm entertained enough to overlook these details. Rem took a risk putting up that strand of hair~ |

| Pretty good episode, with Light once again letting his impulsiveness and ego triumph over prudence. There was no need to rush to contact Misa regarding killing L at the university. That action, accompanied by the tired restroom excuse, would be suspect in any situation. As for everyone not convinced by L's suspicion of Misa, remember that he had Mogi trailing Light, so she had already been seen with him. That plus the hair and fibers found on the videotape envelopes was evidence enough to search her room. She covered her tracks as far as fingerprints and location were considered, yes, but it does seem fairly logical that hair etc. are more likely to be missed by inexperienced criminals. I'm more put off by the selective memory loss humans supposedly experience when they relinquish the Death Note. Specifically, I can understand that in addition to forgetting about the existence of the Note and Shinigami, Misa would forget the murders she committed, and the fact that she was the Second Kira. However, I cannot see why she would forget that Light is Kira. I would've thought she would logically forget how he kills and have only partial memories of how she met him, but wouldn't forget that she knows he is Kira and her love for him arises at least partly from that knowledge. |
| 5/5 |
 |
| I thought Rem was going to kill(save) her, but he would have ended up dying also. Did anyone notice her ringtone on the phone "L" took was the op theme song?? |

hounddog said: I liked that part as well.THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What, nobody wants to talk about Desu Noto? :) For the manga readers, no big surprises here, but another great episode, even so. L hopping around Misa like a monkey was my favorite part, personally. |
 |
| Yeah Misa wasn't actually careful enough keeping around so much evidence. |
 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. |
ManU-Alchemist said: What oes he mean by Good bye Ryuk? exactly o_o |
 |
| I feel really bad for Misa poor girl :( I wonder what Light has in mind? |
 |
| Well Misa's captured and she lost her memory. Now she's even more irritating. 5/5 |
 |
Probably yeah... I don't really like her. A bit too much. But I'd really love the cat and mouse game between L and Light. |
  |
| Even if she's annoying, Misa didn't deserve to be kept for three days. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| First i wanna say. Think after about 4-6 episodes of this anime, u seriously get Hyped as Fuuuuck after each episodes, i mean what a thrilling! AAAh what do u mean by Goodbye!??? what is going too happen too misa then! What will Light do??! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Who would have thought that L would turn the table in that situation? Misa being tortured scene was a bit disturbing, BUT it's a serial killer with superpower we're talking about. When you have lots of innocent lives on your shoulders, certain measures might not be avoided. That being said, it did make me a bit emotional to see her cry when she had to lose her memories. Hope she will be less annoying if she still has some screen time afterwards. Did Light mean he would also dispose of the Death Note? |
 |
| L touched her butt and stole her phone? Smooth operator right there. Probably one of the best episodes yet tbh and I definitely didn't expect Misa to end up forfeiting her Death Note. But, hey with her Shinigami eyes, L would already be dead so it's a beneficial twist. Apparently her "feelings" for Light will still be there though, and it doesn't look like Rem is gonna let Light off the hook...so I guess she'll still be sticking around as his faux girlfriend. Only this time around, it'll be way more cruel because she doesn't know Light's not genuine with her. I'm just glad L gets to live another day. |

| probably the best episode of the series so far! pls save Misa-chan :( |
| (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 ;) |
| Yeah, this is def the best episode so far. I remember not liking Misa too much from the start when reading the manga, but she still doesn't deserve this. Rem is the only voice of reason. |
 |
| Damn, so many tense in this episode....... I guess it's suspicious enough of Light to have another girlfriend after L sees one. Damn that L's evil face. L masking his real intention by acting as a pervert LOL. Misa sure love the Death Note's opening. The moment Light told L that he wanna go to restroom and L allow him and there's silence between them, I knew it something was about to go down. And Light pulled out a dumbass move by calling her just after that, could he just wait till he meet her personally?Ffs......... Rem couldn't just stand the feeling of forgotten by Misa, so she gave Misa a risky final farewell. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |

| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Wait... this is goodbye, ryuk", WTF DOES THAT MEAN??? Surely he isn't going to forfeit the Death Note or kill himself? |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Oh man, what an episode! Though, how the police rushed to arrest Misa was kinda confusing: I get where the evidence came from but I don't know what they used to compare it. Still, amazing. |
 |
| Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying this series but I dunno about another 22 episodes. I feel like this is starting to drag already. A part of me is transfixed by this show and a another part of me is dying for it to be over because this tension is exhausting. I guess a lot of people really love that sort of suspense/tension but I dunno, I just find it a bit stressful - which is kinda why I avoid shows like this...I dunno, am I the only one who feels like this? I might just go re-watch Yuru Camp to calm down. Lol |

horridhendy said: I just find it a bit stressful - which is kinda why I avoid shows like this...I dunno, am I the only one who feels like this? I might just go re-watch Yuru Camp to calm down. Lol Definitely don't worry about taking a break, don't ever feel like you have to stress yourself out. it can be enjoyable keeping a show on your backburner for a while |
| Ohhhh damn when L took the phones! Hahaha about time Light had someone gain the upper hand on him. Only halfway through the series, I'm sure he will worm his way out of this somehow. |
 |
| I’m only halfway through this episode but I had to stop because everything just seems so out of character. |
| Seeing Misa after her torture crushed me, to be honest. Like, I had to take a break watching it after that scene, it was so painful to just see her in so much pain and being like "just kill me already". Poor girl. I don't even want to know what torture methods they used. |
NOW WATCHING: Blue Exorcist (Season 3), Bungou Stray Dogs (Season 2), Delicious in Dungeon, Mashle (Season 2), The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Whisper Me a Love Song, Wind Breaker |
| okay.. misa is still annoying. but she's improving. man these episodes fall in place so smoothly. |
