I really liked this episode. We see from the beginning taht Light is really clever, however in this episode we see how truly cunning and sly he can be. It was an interesting episode.

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.

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)

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.

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.

I looked at wiki - you can ask new sheets from God. But then was told that Death Note will never end.

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.

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.

Exactly what I was thinking. 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.

brilliant, absoloutley brilliant. but i think if he kills Ray Penberg, then L is going to suspect that Kira knew that Ray was following Light, thus, making him suspect that Light IS Kira. i mean really, when Ray thought that it wasn't Light, i was like, "Light you idiot don't kill him or the fuzz will get ya!"

i feel so bad for that poor girl, he knew this was gonna happen, and he probably scarred her for life. how horrible to see such a site

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)

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.

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

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.

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...

There's something bugging me about this episode. Why couldn't that prisoner write "I know L is suspicious of the police"? - Light said it was because you can't write what you don't know... but he just instruced him to write a sentence, the same as prisoner #1. Long story short, if prisoner #1 worked, why didn't #6?
