As I've seen the series before, it of course didn't surprise me that Soichiro turned out to be Light's father but I still think the reveals works on a subtle level. No major music chord. No fanfare. Just Soichiro coming home for dinner.

We get more of Light's intellect on full display with his plan to turn L and the police against each other and a little info about the Shinigami and what their reality is like.

My favorite moment was Ryuk explaining the Shinigami Eyes to Light.

Will there be a moment for Light to kill his father? Or will his father protect Light in case Kira's identity is revealed?

Ryuk is not on Light or L's side. He won't tell Light the names of those people, if Light wants it then Light will have to trade it for half of his remaining life. On the other hand, Light didn't know how much longer he would live, and Ryuk didn't tell him that either. I think it's quite risky because he might die in the near future.... but it's an understandable decision.

Episode 3 of Death Note, titled "Dealings," continues to build on the suspense and strategic battle between Light and L. This episode dives deeper into the psychological mind games and introduces new layers of complexity to the story.

We get a closer look at the police task force’s investigation into the mysterious deaths, with L narrowing down his suspicions in an impressive display of deduction. Meanwhile, Light’s cunning is on full display as he works to stay one step ahead of the authorities, manipulating events to suit his needs.

The episode also gives us more insight into the mysterious powers of the Death Note, revealing intriguing details that further tempt Light down a dark path. The tension within the police force, combined with the growing influence of Kira, sets the stage for even more intense confrontations in the episodes to come.

"Dealings" is a strong continuation of the series, blending psychological tension with clever plot developments. It’s a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a smart, suspenseful narrative. Highly recommended

I seriously doubt light will take the deal, I think his ego is too big and he values himself too much to give up half the rest of his life

What a smartass Light is.. giving away that he's connected to police only so he can find out L's identity and finish him off.. very smartly written.. but here is where he massively falters in his already flawed view of justice.. he is so drunk with having power to control death, that he cannot stand anyone who opposes him.

And I thought it was a little too convenient that Light just happens to be the son of a policeman at the helm of affairs.. but one could also argue that he probably has developed a "sense of justice" owing to his parentage..

Pretty funny how there are 21 separate people who claim to be Kira. Kinda don't like how quickly L's figuring all this out, considering this is only the third episode. Light being able to hack into his own dad's computer is crazy, although I'm not sure whether he hid his IP address or not.

I'd love to know what the numbers mean when we see Light from Ryuk's perspective. 93312639. I'm not sure if by dividing that number in half the number would end in an integer or .5. The music in this scene is freaky, though, and I love it.

Oh man… just when you think Light is already close to being caught, he goes and gets a power up, of course he’s sacrificing his lifespan for it but damn, I can’t see him refusing it either, the ED visuals with the red eyes is telling me accepts it. I guess that just goes to show how much he believes in his justice, this really does change the game completely. Also the fact Light is already turning the police against each other with his plan, I’m thinking maybe eventually L will be working by himself at this rate, but I think after a certain point the police won’t be able to help anyway.

Oh yeah, it was also revealed that the police chief is Light’s dad, ain’t that nice lol, another thing that helps Light avoid detection, but I wonder if his pops will ever catch onto what he’s doing, that would make for a very interesting situation later down the line.
