Watch that not actually be L and L is actually someone who was watching from a distance the whole time!
But Rem and L dead, man, I can't believe it! How does this anime have 12 more episodes?

As far as I am concerned, I just finished my 5th run of Death Note.

The series completely dies from this part on.


I would suggest watching the next episode, then skip to the end. Here is what you will miss:


I'll see you at the finale.

Time to lie down and cry.

that's some serious shit o.o
poor L D:

So light is now the God of this new world, but no one in this world knows of it. Sooooo Genius.

That foot massage scene was mad gay.

Great episode though, cant wait to see where it goes from here.

Epic episode. Everything that was added into this episode not in manga was really cool. Random foot massage, but oh well.

So.....now the L Arc is over. Compared to the manga, it seems like there should be more episodes left to cover all of the N Arc. Oh well, can't wait to get it started.

I already knew about L's death even before I started to watch death note that's why every episode I was sad for him but this episode was just wow it killed something inside me when they make L so nice and then he dies.
Death note is not going to be the same I know it.

Oh man, really sad the L died without saying anything really special. Since I was spoilered to when L dies, all I had to do was imagining the way he dies.

When a shinigami dies, the remaining life time goes back to the person he saved, right? Well, then Misa has more life time once again. Since I don't dislike her, it's good to see that.

And well, Kira is back.

I can't believe that L is dead ;_;

And now Detective Jesus joins the halls of the dead.

god dammit, i knew L was gonna die but damn, i just didnt want it to happen. he is one of my fave characters of all time.

It's sad. But I really like Light and L's talk in the rain.

not the same without L......

No words for this episode...

<3

OMG loved the LxLight scene<3

Feet rubbin thing...maybe it had some kind of analogy to Jesus and Mary Magdalene or something

I was fangirling so harddd

But I cried when Ryuzaki died...that was really sad :'(

LIGHT, YOU WILL PAY!!

Fantastic episode.

The Biblical allusion is evident---the one people miss is the Macbeth imagery. I found L scrubbing Light's foot to parallel Lady Macbeth trying to wash her hands---the difference obviously being that LM couldn't rid herself of the blood on her hands, whereas L fails in ridding Light of the blood on his hands.

Of course, as Macbeth killed Banquo with an assassin, Light killed the one friend he had with his own form of assassin (and they were absolutely friends while Light wasn't murderous). I'm curious to see if there are any more Macbeth parallels (the morbidity of Misa, as well as the lack of joy at the end, certainly fits Lady Macbeth well) as that's my prediction of Light's downfall.

As another point of interest, I loved the opening "silent" introduction. There was so much to gather, like the religious imagery + machinery in the beginning being unable to quell the crying of L (whose parents were clearly killed). From there we draw an excellent parallel from L to Misa, and the divergent paths they took. There's also my theory that like Nietzsche said, God is dead. Religion didn't help L, and so he was driven to solve crime. (Contrast to the life of Light, who also wanted to be a detective but without any real reason why.) It's why the religious imagery of the foot-washing scene fails, Light doesn't learn the humility Jesus tried to instill in his disciples and this causes his downfall.

Considering the rest of the show is someone wicked claiming to be God, L publicly declaring that there must not be an omniscient God, and Japanese gods (shinigami) wreaking havoc on Earth, and this show makes a strong case against religion.

......what on earth. Why didn't Rem just kill Light?!

This.
