My favourite death note character ;.;


Same here, I like her character even more than L's...

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.


My thoughts exactly, though I was thinking that L was my favorite amongst the two few episodes ago. I can't see Kira as something more than a murderer now - he's following no principles and thinking about that I just can't like him even for a moment.

I just started re-watching this series again, and I must say, Naomi Misora had to have been my favorite character from the whole series. I hated that Light wrote her name down before revealing he was Kira - the look on her face of realization and horror crossing her face was indeed chilling - and then the way he spoke to her as she was walking away; it just made me want to punch him.

If only she hadn't believed him and given him her ID, she would have lived. I would have liked to see her character continue on a little longer in the series - but I suppose, if she had lived, she probably would have found out on her own who he was and exposed who Kira was at some point; the series would have ended so much sooner. (Wouldn't it have been interesting if she had given him a "fake" ID and he wrote down the name which wasn't hers down before revealing he was Kira - things would have taken an interesting turn).

I've probably watched this anime a good few years ago now, but I still think the end of this episode has one of my all-time favourite moments. I absolutely adore how they use the extra voice sharpness to deliver the 'Because I'm Kira' line, and the couple of seconds of silence to surround it. Brilliant!

A bit unbelievable that an FBI agent would trust a mere high school student with their name and ID in such a delicate investigation. But still good drama. Light is cunning and evil in equal measure.

I think that is actually a reason for trusting him. After all, who would expect that the most mysterious and implacable serial killer of Japan is a mere high schooler? One way or the other, the fact is Naomi takes the usual precautions, it's Light who manages to win her confidence through the episode.

Incredible episode. The girl was sure tough, Light had a really hard time geting her real name. However he puled it off once again. Still, I can't help being sorry for the girl in the end.

Although it seems a bit strange she'd be taken in like that, Light was still very clever about it, and it was a very well done episode.

This episode was fucking horseshit. I've been enjoying the series, but this one was just nonsense.

I have a hard time buying Naomi, who has by all accounts been shown to be whip-smart, buying into Light's BS. I cannot believe that a former FBI agent as shrewd as she was could be taken in by such flagrant baloney.

Okay, so she's smart enough to figure out Kira can kill you in ways other than heart attacks. She's smart enough to Give Light a fake name. Yet she goes to the police, finds nobody there, just happens to run into the chief's son who offers to let her talk directly to him when he calls.

Fine.

But then Light changes his story halfway through and says he's a detective and he wants her to join the task force and on and on. My aching ass. Evil genius or not, he's clearly in his teens and is certainly not police. Naomi is smart enough not to use her real name, and she should certainly be smart enough to call bullshit on that pack of lies.

If the writers really want Light to outsmart everyone at every turn, cool. It's entertaining. But he should do it because he's clever and resourceful, not because everyone else has decided to be uncharacteristically stupid that day.

It appears to be a case of the writers jerking the characters around like puppets to fill the needs of the plot, not letting them act based on established traits. It's a cheap way to write and it's a hard pill to swallow. They better not keep this up.

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.

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. -

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.

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.

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.

... 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.

Damn, that's cold lol. I thought the taunting from Light was a bit much. If nothing else they did a good job of making sure that the audience will be on L's side. This is an interesting anime they've actually pulled off having the antagonist as the main character. One problem with these type of characters in modern entertainment is that they end up being popular and liked--for example Sephiroth in FF7 or CM Punk in wrestling, etc. It is not easy to write a villain who is interesting AND hated.

But they pulled it off, Light's a right bastard...not like for example Lelouch who also has delusions of grandeur, but he at least has some humanity and empathy, and actually shows remorse for some of his actions.

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.
