| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Alright, so who here really liked that kickass Tennis match between Light and L? Did L let Light win, or is Light just a badass like we all think he is? Haha. And really, could L possibly get anything out of playing a tennis match against Light? No, give me a break. Woot for Light kicking his ass. And Light being all sypathetic with his father and saying "I'll give Kira the death penalty, I swear it". Wow, hmm lying a bit or does he actually want to kill himself? |

| XD The tennis match brought back memories of Prince of tennis XD. And I love L's reaction to Light saying he was going to catch Kira, calling it corny if it was an act. |
  |
| Yeah, I thought the exact same thing when Light said it. I'm glad the author of the anime didn't think it was a good line. :) |
| Haha =D Well both light and l are pro tennis players and i think Light won fairly Some things Light say that might seem weird and all makes a lot sense later on when things progress.. |
| Light? a bad-ass? Puh-lease (damn you for making me say Puh-lease) |
 |
| Light IS badass. Can you kill people just by writing down their name in a book? |
| Light is awesome =) Light > L |
| Light IS badass. Can you kill people just by writing down their name in a book? Maybe if I had a Death Note. Also, for the record, I DID like Light the most in the beginning... |

Light IS badass. Can you kill people just by writing down their name in a book? But you don't, so Light is > you. :PMaybe if I had a Death Note. Also, for the record, I DID like Light the most in the beginning... |
| hmmmm...I don't think I like that logic |
|
| Ako is a pro tennis player? |
| lol, I think he mean't 'L' its just not capitalized |
|
| rofl yea =P RL is correct hehe |
| Though i'm literally years late to join this conversation... wouldn't that make the Death Note badass and not Light?? by the way, i definitely was thinking cool Aokaado is a pro tennis player. |
 |
| I agree with so_addictive, it makes teh Death Note badass, not Light. Although so far Light is my favourite. |
| Light Fan <3 |
| Yes. The tennis match is pure win! Maybe the match is forshadowing a bit? ^_^ |
 |
| haha, never expected Death Note of all things to go all Prince of Tennis on me xD though what part of murdering people is badass? :/ |
 |
| I loved the tennis match! I think both Light and L are really good players, so Light could have won fairly...but I'm more inclined to think that L let him win. ^_^ Because L is just that cool. My friend and I recently went to go play tennis, and this scene was all I could think about! ^_^ |
    |
| they're both trying to find out stuff about each other pretending to be friends.. hahaha.. and L's abilities are reduced by 40% if he sits normally!?!?! anyway... now light knows that L is actually L? hmm.. and even L says its only 7% or something, light is obviously L's primary suspect for Kira... hmmm... and those tapes? did light really send them? |
vearg said: roflL's abilities are reduced by 40% if he sits normally!?!?! I really didn't think L would be able to play a descent match against light - with his seemingly crooked back and all. |
| That was really close at this episode.. Tennis match.. watta power.. |
| And Death Note gets more and more retarded... I kinda like "L" though. I'm usually one to root for the anti-hero, but "L" is a more interesting and ambiguous character than Light, who really is a cheesy fool drunk on power, albeit a maniacally deceptive one. |

| I think Light's intelligence changes way too often. Sometimes it seems like he is aware of the state he is in, and then other times it seems like he's just mad with power. I don't know what to think right now :S The episode was okay. Not the best of course, but it's very entertaining to see the interactions between L and Light. But there are a lot of parts when they think in their head during the conversation. If that's in real time, then that means...there's a ton of pauses then they talk, and it's probably awkward XD |
| That was a kickass tennis match. lol. but i think light is leaving little clues and "L" will find out sooner or later. because light is going to go nuts with the notebook and try and create his "new world". |
     |
| awesome ep. L is quite the character. |
     |
| Gotta hand it to light, he is a pretty cool person. However i like L more, L is bad-ass in his own way |
 |
| great episode,i liked their interaction at the cafeteria :) what's with the tapes at the end btw?:O |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Getting really interesting, I liked the scene in the cafetaria as well, I don't think Light will be ablee to keep his secret much longer. |
 |
| It was a cal episode. But I feel like his parents are next. |
| It's like, they both know the other one is who he is, but they know they don't know enough to know that, so they can't believe they're right. |
| Intense tennis match. Thinking and talking in fast pace is truly the works of geniuses. I can't help but think L is the one on lead but once he starts talking Light picks up on what he needed and he's then on par with L but afterwards L says something to keep him on the lead again then making Light think harder on the situation. I just want to know if L has a family. I bet he does maybe watari is a caretaker or something. |
| Woulda loved to watch that tennis match in person. :3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| the battle of wits is getting more and more exciting!! <3 |

My friend and I recently went to go play tennis, and this scene was all I could think about! ^_^ Lolz :D Anyway, I think now that L let Kira win to witness his reaction to it. L is my favorite. I just love how he shoots right into Light's face - "I suspect that you're Kira" or "I'm L". Kira already think he's won but I don't think L will give up that easy. Even though he's in an unfair position to Kira - he's going all out, but Light still can kill him with Death Note easily... |

| I love the pacing in this series. It does not stall nor waste too much time on recap. They cover 2-4 issues of the manga per episode. They also do a nearly shot by shot remake of the manga. The constant battling back and forth of L vs. Light is very entertaining. I really liked how Ryuuk had to dodge the tennis ball. Ryuuk manages to be quirky, without being kitschy. Also, for anyone who is familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I think Light is definitely an INTJ and L is definitely an INTP. Anyone else have thoughts on this?  |
| Thinking and playing competitive tennis at the same time must take some incredible talent. |
 |
| Damn nice episode really big battle to get both of them say what each want! Just epic :D |
 |
| Awesome episode again. All that tention between L and Light. Tennis match was great too. |
 |
| hmm, not bad, lets see what happens next. |

| L's Theme, favorite song from Death Note! I forgot how much I liked L, and how both think. Now it all gets much more exciting! Gotta love it |
| The tennis match was so good and random. A good add to the storyline. The creep in the end is stupid. Didn't he said he didn't want any more stories about Kira, yet he's gonna air a story anyway just to not get killed? That just shows what people really do to save their lives. |
| Even if the future is locked or erased I won't end this prayer because I want to convey my real feelings to you |
| I like Light more than L. L is just so annoying. Light is true badass. |
| It's very srange listening that Light wants to kill Kira (killinh himself???). They are acting very strange against each other,just pretending that they are friends,but in actuality they just want to discover new informations against each other. The series are being more interested.. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| There's no vote? Lol, so that's how you become famous Shocked when Light's father collapsed And that tape, if this series airing on 2013 then it'll be usb flash drive XD |
