i think it might be symbolic of l's total submission to light, his complete subjugation/failure.

also, hirano aya ftw.


I agree, it is. Its not fanservice of course lol.


''Oh, and it's such a shame that they didn't do the scene when after Light smiles right before L dies, L thinks to himself that he knew that Light was Kira.''

Shit ,I didn't know that was left out. That part was so important, I felt L's dead was so stupid and casual... I felt they needed more of a '' I am Kira'' before L died.. : Now its just stupid.

BUt i'm gonna miss him.

Damn rem, and damn misa, their both stupid.

Just, L knew he was gonna die.. he said ''This is farewell'' And, ''You've played it well.'' or ''everything went well''

damn :..
I think ls smile implied that he knew

So, was L going to make the criminal 'test' the Death Note on Misa? That would be the only way rem would've reacted like that I guess.

I've heard the same. I really would like to know what else can be done in this series. I feel like it should end in a few episodes.

I don't think so,but L was about to test that " the death note user has to keep writing names to kill non stop for 13 days" rule , and if he did he would recognize that it's a false rule so they will arrest Misa again ( because that was the only rule that freed her & Light in the first place,when they were under surveillance for more than 50 days)

Rem didn't want all this to happen so had to stop L & Watari ×_____× , and all of that was planned by the smart yet evil Light \ Kira ! -___-

Today we learned L has a foot fetish...and a fetish for everything about Light in general. Gay af.

I originally only downloaded 1-25 because I had heard from people that the series isn't good after this episode, so I treated this episode like a finale. But now, I can't resist watching the rest, even if it won't be nearly as good as the earlier episodes.

You'll be disappointed after ~episode 26 onward.

^ Gray-sama ♥ Gray-sama ♥ (though this sentence might make no sense if he/she changes avatar, username and signature xD).

Well wow, quite unexpected. I was expecting this to happen only later on.
Because everyone says that from now on it's a disappointment, I wont get to that conclusion until I watched it.

I have a feeling though that just like before without Light's psychopathic side this anime was a bit of a let down but still up there high. So now without L it will be even worse. I will hope that it wont be terrible.
This episode was quite interesting, it's a shame that L had to die ;-;/ Farewell.

After the second time watching the series (it's been a couple of years) I cried my eyes out in this episode. Knowing what was in stake for L made it all the more memorable and meaningful. It's the best episode of the series IMO.

The whole bit about L referencing the ringing bells was pretty creepy, that he could sense his death.


The first thought that jumped into my head when he talked about hearing bells was the poem "No Man Is An Island" by John Donne...

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.


L knew that Death would visit upon him very soon. He heard the bell toll.


I also think the foot washing was L's way of expressing his appreciation of Light's intelligence, while at the same time admitting defeat, yet having that one bit of physical dominance over Light, by massaging his feet. L lived a life of solitude without any friends. Of course there were few persons with his level of mental acuity and Light was one such person. He truly admired him. So unfortunate that they couldn't work this out and that Light couldn't stop killing.


Another interesting parallelism between this series and another series, Bakuman: L reminds me a lot of Eiji Niizuma. They both have this odd way of sitting, sort of creepy, like severe geeks and both are extremely intelligent, and surprisingly physically fit.
The other parallelism was between Ryuk and Akira Hattori from Bakuman. I can't help it, but they have some physical resemblances.

That was an epic episode!

I can't believe Light got Rem to kill Watari and L and thus himself! Rem fading away was just as sad as those two dying! I'll miss them all!

The homoerotic foot massage/towel dry scene between Light and L was kinda hot lol.

RIP Rem and L.

I really wanted Rem to kill Light cause I just can't stand that everything goes his way. He angers me soooo much. But I knew she would do what would make Misa happy. I'm gonna miss L. :'( I liked him a lot.

I wonder where the story will go now??

I just want Light to die violently and slowly.

I still maintain that the episodes where Light erases his and Misa's memory are the worst part of the series. If anything, from here on out it's like the series returns to form.

This episode was so heavy from the very start, the air was thick like never before. Ryuzaki's intuition was perfect until the very end, he was feeling his death coming despite he couldn't figure a way that'd happen. Darn you, Light.

Light failed once more, leaving the page with a missing piece in the notebook, was he so arrogant thinking he'd succeed even if he didn't cover up his tarcks?



The Funeral is a really important scene, I still don't get why it was cut.

As soon as I saw L looking all sad in the rain & the foot rub I knew he would die in this episode. Wow, what a powerful episode this was! I was glued to my seat and speechless at the end. So gutted about Rem, Watari and of course L.
Really enjoying this so far though, Light's descent into madness is fun to watch.
