| Light, you just disappointed me! I thought you're more like Lelouch.. oh wait they almost same.. Anyway poor woman, that expression please no,nooo :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| I can barely tolerate Light now. Kills FBI agent, then kills his fiancée too. How can he not see that he became exactly those people that he wanted to cleanse the world from? Arghh... The story is really exciting though. I hope L will catch this arrogant bastard eventually. But something tells me that's not what's gonna happen. Because Light is the protagonist of this show. The protagonist that I find extremely hard to relate to. |

| hahaha telling her that he is kira, light was rubbing it to her face hahaha. i thought the girl would last a little longer because she was kind a smart |
| Well he was almost at risk of getting caught, and he had to pull a now or never decision. The fiance was just being cautious at first. Light just goes to show he can get out of sticky situations that seem lost. - |
 |
| Poor Naomi. She was so close to catching Light. |

| Brilliance at it's finest ~ JKJ |
| Mastery through endless repetition. |
| I have to admit that Light was as incredible as ever in this episode, but man...Light is so fucking ruthless!!! I feel really sorry for that poor girl who only wanted to avenge her fiance's (who was innocently killed) death and now she suffers the same fate. He did get extremely lucky again there in the end because I have a feeling that that dude knows his identity since he is the chief's son and all. Ryuk is so fun too watch. Haha he gave like the best commentary in the midst of all that. |

| probably my favourite episode :D |
| Light is becoming really awful now, he's crossed the line from killing bad people into killing people who get in his way. I do find it quite strange that Naomi just gave her details to Light without even confirming that he was really what he claimed to be. A huge mistake on her part, but an amazing episode. |
| I liked Light until I saw this episode. This is the breaking point that sparks Light's deterioration into darkness. |

thisisit50 said: it was interesting to see Light totally bluff to get the name. gswelcome said: He was indeed very lucky this time around.i found it to be a very weak point in this episode that overshadows Light being lucky/clever in getting her name. JuviaBlue said: 100% this. This was totally my reaction when I watched Death Note for the first time. My opinion on Light was that no matter what he does from this point on, I'd never forgive him for killing Naomi Misora.I liked Light until I saw this episode. This is the breaking point that sparks Light's deterioration into darkness. |

| ... no words here. The way Light was thinking when talking to the lady made goose bumps on me. The only thing that annoys me is that he thinks nothing of people... He is not having empathy for the lady who lost her fiance. I really don't like that, empathy and sympathy are what makes a man a human. I really liked her ;-; and her fiance too. |
 |
| When Ryuk starts laughing as she's about to give him her real name, he's like i love this guy. Nobody uses the Death Note better than Light, i fkn love Light he's a beast. |
| Skipped a few parts and see that Light is just evil): I feel bad for her now! An agent retired to marry, but fiance died. Now, the same murderer who killed her fiance is going to kill her. |
| fuark he stacked them chips high for that one |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| wow I feel pity for these people now. Very sad because she just wanted to find out who murdered here fiancée. Light crossed the line now. Even though, he's quite interested. Damn... |
 |
| That was so awesome! my favorite part was obviously when he said "i'm kira". very thrilling. Also, gotta love Ryuks laugh. insan3Spectre said: I definitely am cheering for L now. Really wish i had a Death Note of my own... |
 |
| A very good episode and yes it did seem funny that she spoke to Light about it in the first place and then eventually did give up her name. She seemed to smart to do something such as that. |
 |
| Light was really clever in this episode, but she seemed like at least equally smart, and I'm kinda surprised she gave him her real name at the end... To be honest, I expected a big plot twist for her to say it wasn't her real name when he revealed he was Kira. But this event was just too obvious to happen. I'm looking forward to seeing the further development of the story. |

ArnoldK said: Awesome episode, but it also confirms my belief that Light Yagami needs to DIE. What other anime has a main character who gets away with murdering innocent people? I couldn't help but be on Light's side though, no matter what he did. I have no idea how they'd pull that off but if they could, it'd be the best show ever quite easily. Mod edit: Added spoiler tags |

| I'm pretty sure Light mentioned something to Ryuk at one point about doing something in the shinigami world... and then Ryuk goes "humans really are interesting..." or something. I forget when this was. Near and Mello might make sense, but they suck. Not sucking is crucial. |
| First off use spoiler tags. Second, he told Ryuk he should try to fix the Shinigami realm. He told Ryuk to do that, never stated any interest in doing so himself. And that is just your own opinion, if you don't like a character that's your problem not the show's problem. |

The fact that he mentioned it could mean he had some interest. Ah well, like I said I can't even fathom how they would do that. It's kind of hard to flesh out the Shinigami world. There didn't seem to be a whole lot going on there. I disagree though. Why is it necessarily my problem that I don't like these characters? I had the impression that Near and Mello were generally disliked. |

| Another great episode. Light was hella badass when he revealed that he was Kira |
 |
| I cant lie, this episode is very suspenseful. But I dont quite buy her believing everything a stranger just said to her. I know that she knows Light is the son of the police investigator. But you just cant believe a guy that flip flop with his lies here and there. She's even an ex investigator and she showed she's a decent one with her theory and skepticism towards Light (notice how she glare at him numerously with a doubtful look). But at the end she choose to believe him? By just being "oh Im actually one of the investigator too. You may now hand the thing that you know its going to cause you your life to me." Thats just too simple that its silly. Quite disappointed that she had shown so much promise but ended up going to be dead by such ludicrous lie. But gotta give props that the episode is really suspenseful, because I actually care for her. |
| Wow... that was intense. The entire episode was just Light trying to figure out how to con the woman into giving him her real name. It should've been slow and boring but ended up incredibly suspenseful indeed. And the look on her face when he told her he's Kira. oh gosh. D: Yeah, fantastic episode. |
 ☩ Discord: the.path.to.pathos ☩ RateYourMusic ☩ last.fm |
| oh SHIT, that was intense. Her fate ended a bit differently than the live action film. Poor girl. |
 |
| Fantastic and intense episode! However, I'm curious how it was 1:25pm twice...? |
| Heh, so she was more precautious than the impression we all got from previous episode. Too bad it wasn't enough to change her fate. GJ Light. |
   “There are two kinds of arrogance. One where you are unequal to the task and one where your dreams are too big. The former is commonplace stupidity... but the latter is a rare species that is difficult to find.”  |
| Yeah, can't believe such a careful person would give her real name so readily in the end. DN is great at generating situations and problems, not so much in solutions and filling holes. Saying that, the suspense was wonderful and what I like the most about this series. "Oh, this? It's because I'm Kira." I could only smirk. Those eyes... and then Naomi's eyes as when she realizes... That was wonderful. |

| Two things I can't quite get my head around in the Raye Penber/Misora Naomi episodes: 1. Once the FBI (should probably have been the CIA, for realism, as has been mentioned) found out its agents had been killed, I can't imagine they wouldn't have at least carried out an internal investigation. If so, they would have had a time-of-death window for the team supervisor in Japan, and a record of the message he sent Penber with the list of agents. Putting that and the subsequent death of the latter together, they would probably consider the possibility Penber had been acting under duress, making the people he had been trailing suspects in his death and, by extension, the Kira investigation. But the FBI instead chose to completely extricate itself from the case and cut off contact with L? Dubious at best. 2. Misora's decision to open up to Light, while somewhat excusable considering her state of mind and the conversation between Light and the receptionist she overheard at the police station, is still unbecoming of an otherwise highly discreet and ostensibly skilled former agent. Also, what adult, let alone trained investigative agent, would take at face value the words of a teenager claiming he is part of special task force dealing with one of the most dangerous criminals ever known, no matter what his history of assisting in cases prior? And what about the red flags raised by his increasingly desperate and transparent attempts to prevent her from contacting anyone on the actual task force, or his offer of a recommendation and request to see her ID? Very unconvincing and clichéd "shounen >>> stupid adults", imo. It all kinda undermines the promise of episodes 1 and 2, and my memories of how good this show was when I first watched it 5 years ago. :/ |

| Ryuk knows the truth :D... |
| Damn, Light is a motherfucker. 5/5 |
 |
| Not gonna lie, if I was making a list of my top 5 or 10 favourite episodes in anime, this would be on the list. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
This will always be my favorite episode from the entire show,or anime in general.It's just so intense for me.   This scene always creeps me out,no matter how many times I watch it. |
| Ahah.. This episode summarizes Death note, it's everything this manga/anime is. It's in one way really suspenseful, with good plot twistes and everthing. On the other side their is GIGANTIC incoherences everywhere, like the writer sacrifices every little thing & make characters act strange for the sake of the plot. 1 - Super smart FBI agent suddenly acts dumb and believe everything from a stranger, followings "feels" about him instead of logic (any sharp people would know feels often get you ripped off) 2 - Probably the worst, Light first get to accompany & talk with Naomi saying he's the son of head of the investigators, and that he'll make Naomi get in touch with them. And THEN to get her real name he says the identity of the invest' cell's members is kept secret for security : she will therefore not get in direct contact with them. WHAT, it's just the opposite of what he said just before and yet Naomi is like "yeah ok fair enough". 3 - He said idendity of investigators is secret, yet his father is part of it, and he claims being Light Yagami.. so hard to know the name od his father who's part of the invests, really. Also all the lucks for yagami, the rain, the timing, everthing. Still a good story, but can't take it really seriously, probably not the point of it anyway, it's enjoyable beside this. |

| @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. |

| Re-watching this for the first time since 2007. I loved episodes with Naomi Misora back then, and do so now. Such a well-written character! On of the best episodes. |
 |
| that laughter when naomi handed light the id .... |
 |
| I don't like what Light is doing, but somehow I didn't want him to get busted. |
 |
| Every time ryuk laughed I was urged to laugh as well.. |
