| By far one of my favorite anime episodes of all time! kept it intense to all the way to end with chills. |
| Goood oh mighty. This was intense! Light is fucking clever! |
| Ryuk's laugh is voice acted so goddamn well!!!!! |

LOAD said: @everyone shaming Naomi for falling into the trap: Y'all are forgetting what she said about Light and L being similar. Yeah, Naomi is hella smart and deserves recognition for her carefulness, but she is a detective after all. Aren't they known for trusting their gut/instincts? Because she met someone who she believed to be like L, the person she trusts the most, it's not logically impossible for her to believe this L-like stranger is telling the truth. L might know that he and Kira are similar, but it's not as if Naomi knows that. Moreover, Light said something about Kira being able to control his victims before they die- which Naomi fervently agrees with the moment he tells this to her. This gives her further initiative to think this high schooler is intelligent. This also contributes to her eventual demise as she falls for Light's trap. I agree with this statement, but you got to put yourself in her shoes and her emotions. Plus it would be hard to believe that a high schooler, the son of the head of police would be the killer |
| I really like this episode, but... the end is so confusing... |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| omg I hate Light! and the anime started to be the type when each episode is single plot and it is finished when the episode ends... when I got totally fooled by her as I didn't know she gave the alias and started to think that maybe she won't help solve it immediately, but she will be the main character throughout the series, but no... then she gave her real name and dies... and I think that Light takes pleasure in telling his loosing enemy who he/she lost to... he is the villain for me now.. |
| (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 ;) |
| It really shows how powerful and defective emotions can be. It's what makes you human. The only reason Naomi trusted Light was due to her emotions getting the better of her normally careful judgement. I think it's absolutely believable that she would trust Light with information considering she is in mourning for her fiance and is more interested in information and justice, taking chances to solve the mystery. Unfortunately Light is well aware of this and completely uses it to his advantage with no remorse. |
 |
| I laugh everytime I hear Ryuk’s laugh in this episode! This is the best episode right next to the first one. Naomi looks very similar to Mikasa Ackerman, don’t you think? |
| That realization face of the girl, brilliant! Sasuga Light kun! "Oh this? that's because I'm Kira." It was really the right decision to watch this again. |
| “What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?” ― Lelouch Vi Britannia |
| Weird that she didn't suspect Light why he keep following her. The moment she lost her composure is the moment she lost the game |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Awesome episode, tense till the last second. I loved the fact that the task force member saw him at the last second - that should spice up the next few episodes :) |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Everytime I rewatched this ep in the end I'm always thinking "if she didn't die what would she do with the fact that Light is KIRA". And by randomly reading some comments in this thread, saying that although Naomi is a detective and all, most of them probably male guys that probably doesn't understand female well, once they get emotional and all, no matter how much suspicious and all, once u talk to their emotional state they can't fite it, and Light know well women and all talk very well and that's his reason saying "just a little more" about that, with all great Naomi genius and all she is a still a women. |

| Oh crap, she kept her composure for most of the episode but the moment she lost it... gg. And Light is a full villain now. There is nothing he could do to redeem himself. |
 |
| the moment she gave in to his charisma and confidence is the minute she completely lost the battle, she was a good opponent of the episode though. her face of realization once she knew it was over for her though. |
| If she buy's Light's goofy lie about being on the task force I'm dropping this fucking show. |
| Dropped. Fuck this show. |
| The chess game has truly begun. The way he worked Naomi into giving up he real name was quite impressive. |
| I breathed a massive sigh of relief when it was revealed she was using an alias......but then the end. Ffs, you dense, careless idiot! Light had been super creepy the moment she met him and yet she still swallowed his bs whole. How did that task force guy not even try to take a peek at her and Light though as he passed.. Surely he would have been a bit curious. Making for good tension, but the conclusionn to it feels very forced when the victim decides to be incredibly stupid. |
 |
| WOW that was intense, that last scene I could feel my heart beating in my chest when Light revealed who he was. It was a very menacing scene, Light is really descending into a bad place. |
 |
| such an epic episode. and the aesthetics with the snow falling and the investigator walking past the 2 of them just missing them by that flicker of a moment - silently and deadly beautiful. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| 200 IQ play of the game right there. |
 |
| oh my god that episode was amazing |
| There are no words to describe how thrilling this episode was. Goddamn Yagami. |
   |
| oh damn, those were some pretty smooth lies. i was shivering through most of this episode for some reason. (even if it's not cold) |
 |
| That episode was awesome. Naomi's emotions clouding her judgement, and constant pressurization and subtle manipulation from Light got the best of her in the end, and the imagery of her walking onto the platform of suicide as she climbs the stairs up to the skies was pretty fucked up but really great to watch from the cynical perspective of this show. Light's desperation worked for now, but it was really cutting it close at times. |
solohikertoo said: it seems to me you really didn't watched closely light character, took you long enough to observe that light have evil intentions.I felt very sad when Light won over Naomi and sent her to her death. Despite what good intentions Light started with, he is the evil one now. Did he become bad because of Shingami's influence? Or is he just like that? and i believe that no, light didn't influenced to do bad by shinigmi, the death note just triggered his true feeling for the world. |
| Im gonna miss Naomi's big bootea. Even the anime was putting her bootea in angles so the audience could see it. |
| I loved this episode! It was so intense! So now Naomi will commit suicide? |
 |
| Naaaahh, I have a feeling she handed him a fake ID, like c'mon she's too clever, she probably did this and was hoping to find out if he was Kira or not. And what's with that English name when she's supposed to be Japanese?? Alsoooo, regarding her fiance he might come back to life, because of the rule "If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears within him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note " he didn't touch the note but he did use it as per Light's instructions, and Shinigami can probably bring humans back to life based on certain conditions |
| I know Light reminded her of L but she still had no reason to trust him. |
| When the investigator passed by them, it gave me some chills. Poor girl :( |
 |
| definitely the best episode so far, my toes were curled the whole time |
