| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The best episode so far. The series didn't seem to promise that much - kid gets so much power, kid started to kill, some smart-wannabe lines and so on, until you see this episode No. 7! Now, it's starting to look like a chess game among pro's. Sgoi! |
 |
| My favourite death note character ;.; |
| I liked this episode, it was interesting to see Light totally bluff to get the name. |
 |
| yea so this episode confirms the sketchiness that i felt towards episode 2 with the fake L dying (see discussion)... i'm slightly annoyed now... hmmm maybe i missed something there.. might make it a new discussion topic... |
 |
| Definitely the best episode so far. Light is so clever. |
| Light Fan <3 |
| Not only is Episode 7 the absolute best of the entire "Death Note" series, it's probably one of the 5 or 10 greatest episodes in anime history. My jaw dropped at the end there. |
| OMFG *gets shivers* fuckin incredible episode there.. |
 |

| Everyone said it: ep7 was awesome :3 though I still think the first ep wins, this was pretty damn close and wow, what an ending... T^T poor Naomi-san~~ But there's always a 'but' "^_^. At first - when reading the manga - I thought this was another display of Light being incredibly clever. Now - watching the anime - I realised it was another display of Light being incredibly lucky xD Seriously, he's been so close to getting caught when he could have just let Ray Penber and the other FBI agents live (facepalm) Yappari, L's the real genius ;3 |

| The most thrilling anime episode I've ever watched. |
| yo dat was a real good episode, dat Misora Naomi is such a rookie!? worked for the fbi? man don't trust anyvody, especially a stranger.. duh?! |
| WAAA!! i feel so sorry for that girl!! but light was amazing how he so easily deceived that girl... though she was more of a challenge... i feel so sorry for her... she was innocent too... if only she didn't meet light, light would've been caught... |

| 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? |
 |
| Well that's Raito for you peps! He's one of the more intelligent, clever, and luckier characters ever made in the anime history... damn people... If you dun like this episode then, resign yourself of watching anime at all!! it was for his sake... If I were him I'd do the same to protect my own safety... first of all I wouldn't have started killing the criminals in the first place but it doesn't matter now.... What maters is Light's safety and goals muahahaha... Ryuuk was amazing too!! Muahahaa... GO L! Capture Kira XD Signs, Green |

| Hm, that was really close. So many lie.. |
| Man, Light's a real bastard. This is: What? Two innocent people he has killed now? I have to admit that the guy is incredibly cunning and intelligent, there is no way I would have been able to compose myself in that situation. I liked her too, and the look in her eyes at the moment of realisation was chilling. But, I definitely am cheering for L now. |

| i found it rather stupid myself that she would be so careful about who she speaks to about her infirmation on Kira but then just goes and blabs to Light about it. i found it to be a very weak point in this episode that overshadows Light being lucky/clever in getting her name. it shouldn't have been possible to begin with |

| Yeah, starting to think this show is bullshit. So in episode two, a fake "L" dies on live TV even though it was a death-sentenced criminal standing in for the real "L" and not even using his own real name -- but now it's possible for people to elude death by using an alias? Is this just some profoundly stupid leap of logic we're supposed to swallow? No, don't think so. Penbar's fiancee's gullibility was perhaps somewhat more believable -- one could say she was looking for something to hold onto in her grief, particularly if Light reminded her of "L" -- but it's difficult to accept that she, a former FBI agent, was so easily manipulated by Light. As if his weird, desperate pleading with her to give up on trying to meet anyone wasn't a big red warning sign... Going further beyond any of that, I'm still just not at all convinced by Light's nature as a character. Straight-A student finds this book and discovers its power, and it brings out an intent so sinister it just stretches the believability of his character. Maybe that's part of the book's power, and they're just not telling us that yet...? I dunno. I'll probably continue to watch for a bit, but if this show keeps stretching things to the point of stupidity (and never explains why Light was able to kill the fake "L") I think I'll just write it off as overrated trash. |

I'll probably continue to watch for a bit, but if this show keeps stretching things to the point of stupidity (and never explains why Light was able to kill the fake "L") I think I'll just write it off as overrated trash. 1. That was most likely the prisoners real name but that L, had just happened to be his middle initial. 2. The alias cannot be used to kill a person because it is not the correct name of that person. It was stated in the rules you need a victims name and face in order to kill them, without a correct name it doesn't work. I don't see why that was so hard to understand. 3. Corruption is strong when ultimate power is a reward. |

| Wow... Just wow... This is like the best episode EVER! |
 |
| Light is a good talker, but honestly, this one seemed forced. If she was that smart and cautious to use an alias and find out that Light can make people do things before they die, then she should have definitely caught on that Light wasn't leaving for a reason. Oh well, it was still very suspenseful, and had an impact ending. I don't know of any other show that can make a regular conversation this exciting. |
| Damn how did she even fall for that?... it didn't seem suspicious that he kept coming back constantly for info on her..? -.- oh well..now she's about to go too. LOL and Ryuk's laugh cracked me up. xD!! |
     |
| Wow...Light is the sweet talker...I think he's embraced the dark side... |
     |
| Definetly a good episode, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.. I thought hed really have to resort to getting shinigami eyes |
 |
| wow...this episode was so smartly made,i loved it :D the ending completely left me like O.o,it was so sad Kira gets further and further away from his main goal and closer to becoming a sadistic brat anyway -_- |

| even though i'm barely getting into Ep 8, i think this one was the best yet. The suspense that was building up and Light's craftiness...truly genius. |

| Aw poor girl, I feel sorry for her :( |
| That episode might've been the most dramatic conversation I've seen. And it's not like it was contrived in it's seriousness; it literally had me repeating "Holy s***!" at the end. So yeah, Naomi(?) was carrying an idiot ball. But for the sake of enjoyment, I'd recommend fan-waving it. Also something of interest is the whole Shinigami eyes deal. I mean, it was interesting when it was first introduced, but I have a feeling that it'll end up as being used in an ass-pull-ish manner, or like the other pill in the Matrix (an alternate option that the hero declines, showing his character. In Light's case, his craziness.) Hopefully, it's the latter. I guess I'll just have to watch to find out the rest. |
| Tvtropes.org It's great! |
| Well I don'tt think it was the best episode, but it was definitely brilliant like all others before it. I feel so sorry for her =( Such a great character, so innocent, doomed... |
 |
| WOW. There were some moments there where I though that he was going to be discovered. And I was thinking that he might actually take that offer for the eyes. Best episode so far! |
| Wow. That was INTENSE. I was literally shivering during the episode. Best so far. I don't know if I'll be able to handle this series if the rest of the episodes are like this, though. I'll die of a heart attack! |
| That girl was not that intelligent as I expected, it was a bit disapointing, but well, I guess I can't expect everyone in this series to be a genius. (It was a bit sad anyways.) |
| This episode temporarily made me forget about my lower back pain. Near the end i thought the detective knew what she was doing but to get her emotions pulled out like that just brought me down. She started of good by saying that she'd like to talk to one of the special task force members by saying she wants to go along but Kira kept clinging to her off course. Why didn't she pick up on that? A stranger she just meet followed her and asking questions, she used an alias and ends up giving her real name....Kira was cunning but she seemed to be one step ahead but got sentenced to death. Still a good episode. |
| omfg!! well done Naomi Misora,.. you sure are sharp but hella stupid!! :@ |

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Naomi ALMOST got away with it. |
 |
| yeeeeeeeees as i expected in the previous ep her name was fake but it was gooood ep really ^_^ |

| Light is twisted. |
| I really liked this episode.. It sucks to see such a pretty girl get manipulated like that. ;-; |

| I love how Ryuk started laughing hysterically once Light overcame the situation. =P |
