| Obviously, brilliant episode! As soon as L revealed that he's L, Light will put the suspicion upon himself as soon has he would kill L, that is, even if he can somehow get his real name. brilliant! xD In the end Light's being a little bit too optimistic, in my opinion. |
| L is effin' EPIC!! he's soo funny and a real genius.. now lets see how Light copes with this >:) |

| Woo, fun times. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I just watched the first 9 episodes in a row, and this is looking to becoming my favourite anime of all time. L is a genius, but so is Light. Both great characters, going back and forth on who I'm really rooting for, just can't wait to find out what happens next. |

ColdBeans said: OMG! L and Light attend the same school! Gotta hand it to L though. He sure follows through only if there's a 5% chance of success. Pretty much, L beats the crap out of Kira with ease. |
  |
| I hope Kira wipes the floor with L |
Compared to the manga, the anime really makes Light seem megalomaniacal. He seemed more introverted and more in control of his emotions in the manga. I also don't recall the Death Note making him go crazy. It's been a while since I've read it. Anyone else have thoughts on it?  |
| Shits about to go down. |
 |
| what an epic episode so from now on this series will be in the college? cool too... |
 |
| Quite nice episode I do wonder what L is trying to archive by going to the University with him! |
 |
| I didnt' expect L to reveal himself to Light. This is geting damn interesting. |
 |
| What a move haha. Things are getting interesting. |

| Light is really creepy when he snaps. |
 "And if, there were so many people in the world, there had to be someone living an interesting life that wasn't ordinary. I was sure of it. Why wasn't that person me?" - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part V [/center] |
| Never imagined that L would tell to Light that he is the L!!!! At least he don't belive that Kiro iS Light. That L,he is a wild guy,look at him he is very strange,istead of Light who looks like a elite student. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| That handstand lol! It's here! That sitting style XD Also, finally Light lost his cool, even Ryuk saying sorry to him xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| I love these anime because its the battle of intelligence there traps for each other are very smart if your not as clever as them you would fall for there trap very easily |
| Light is going cray |
| I simply lost words. The way L thinks, makes me think what Light should do. Because I'm me, in Light's place I would probably flip as he did but wouldn't really be able to stop myself from writing L's name in the death note. Something really strong would be needed to keep me away from it. 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) Can't wait the next episode. |
 |
| the way he sits makes me uncomfortable |
"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." |
| The part where Light had his villainous breakdown has got to be one of the best scenes in DN. Calm and controlled throughout the journey home, he even had the right mind to lock the door and take seat at the table. But the moment he sits down, he completely flips. And then he regains his usual devious self. They even had time for his evil laugh. |
| Really great, should've known he'd come out as L. |
 |
| Extraordinary. I loved this episode. I like both of the main characters the same. L sits so cool. Light is so calm. They're basically identical. L's move with revealing his identity to Light was an act of a genius. Their mind-boggling thoughts are so interesting and keep me watching this brilliant show. ^__________________^ |

| Potato chip episode? Classic. |
| That crazy laugh at the end though. Oh god. Hahaha. |
| 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%. 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. 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. |

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.

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.

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.

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 |

| new bff's?? |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| 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 |
