Great episode; the next few are going to be intense build ups. Love seeing the manga fleshed out in Anime form, they couldn't have stayed truer.

yeah good episode. Some inconsistencies in the beginning (I'm sure they don't exist in the manga).

I'm amased Teru actually killed that guy in the train in plain sight... and from the preview it seems he's gonna die...?

Well... we'll see in the next episode.

Ya the last few episodes should be very interesting. However, I couldn't believe Teru actually was dumb enough to use the Death Note at the scene of the crime. Hopefully he doesn't die... :'(

I think Teru using it was the intent. He's become a diversion - Light knew that Near would catch on, so he's using Teru to draw him out. Remember how he was told to prepare a fake notebook? There won't be any proof against him if the notebook doesn't work, so he'll be bait without being put into any real danger. Near isn't going to kill him, as he stated quite clearly in the episode.

I liked this one... it's nice that the show seems to be picking up again after the death of L. I really got a kick out of the scenes with Misa... she's such a moron, and it's kinda fulfilling to see her being so easily played.

Problem is the note "worked". Yes he was told to make a fake one, but the guy there died. That means that note is the real thing. That killing was not Light's order in my view,... maybe the manga says otherwise. but in the ep. it couldn't have been. It was Teru's sense of justice at work. And what I meant was not that Near was gonna be the one to kill Teru, but Light would. He's nothing but a tool to him so that wouldn't surprise me.

Errm die?

Teru's not going to die. At least that's not what I thought after watching the preview.

Teru wrote something on some piece of death note in his shoe, Teru talks to himself (sakujo or eliminate), some guy dies in the locker room and the SPK dude finds A note in Teru's suitcase.

Wouldn't that make a lot more sense?

Light did make him use a fake death note, but he'll only start using it when the announcer woman gets Teru's letter. I'm guessing that at the scene from the preview, Teru will have a piece of the death note with him and a fake death note near him all the time. So, that when they try to arrest Teru, they'll only find a fake death note and he'll look like a Kira fanatic/lunatic (since he's been writing names of "bad people" in some random note without reason).

Either that, or Teru's too late with excecuting Light's and plan and his days'll be numbered.

Only 4 more eps to go....................

Remember also that he pulled out his cell phone first. Meaning if they progressed far enough that the chick that's in a feud w/ Misa (can't remember her name for the life of me) actually has the real Note, and Teru's using a fake, he could have sent a pic to her w/ a name, and she killed him. The way the privies make it sound, it seems Mikami's dead.
Mikami is speaking to himself. He's doing something with the trash paper at his feet. Now, he went inside the gym. He died in the locker room. Key to the briefcase... I'm opening it. I got the note.
That's the transcript for the Kuro-hana translation of the preview. The only thing that makes me wonder is the tone of the guys voice changes between "Now, he went inside the gym" and "He died in the locker room."

Near is supposed to be L's successor, prepared to give up his life and all, but he's too scared to catch a plane by himself? OMG.
No Mello in this episode. Hmm.
I wonder whether Mikami really killed the guy?

4 eps to go.. we hear like nothing about Mello, near is like superman/god. What I liked about the previous ones were, they showed how he got clues.

Now near turned into god status, and out of a million tapes, he knew it was the guy in a split second lol.

Yep, Death Note is inconsistency at its finest. Why are they focusing on the music so much now. It's so good, I wish they had this during the whole series >.>

This episode felt very small. I guess it was to set up some big parts that will be coming, and tie some loose ends like Misa.

lol after everyone used that notebook in the past im surprised it never ran out of pages. >.>
but i could of sworn that Teru had the Death God eyes. If so., then why didn't he kill the guy looking at him who was one of Near's partners because he looked suspicious, and then the criminal later on? because he just blew everything for light, so i can see it's going downhill from here.

Wow, Near's "powers of deduction."
Yeah, he's not as amazing as L, a human. lol
lol, Misa almost got her ass beat. I loved Misa v. Takada, their bitchiness, true to life. Misa is a badass drunk. I loved the music in this episode. I want Near's Lego pieces.

overall this epsiode was good,mikami was dumb at the end but i'm guessing this is part of light's plan..

also near seems VERY confident,i think that Light's screwed :)

Blah, one more episode without Mello, but this time he didn't show up at all. Lately I see him more during the opening, than in the anime itself. This sucks! I'll be really surprised if Takeda is not 100% sure that she's the one that Kira loves and she was totally putting an act before Misa. But still, she may have something humane left in her, who knows... Anyways, bitch fight ftw :D

Aya Hirano and Maaya Sakamoto squaring off to see who get's their man. I liked that!

As hard as I try, I cannot take Near seriously as a believable character. If he ends up beating LIght (who is the devil incarnate) it wouldn't be belieable in my appreciation.

Well, Light planned to let him blow his cover, that's why Teru needed the fake book.

The only thing I don't like is how Near can solve every riddle so easily. It just doesn't really make sense how he gets the answer on the question. L's way at least made sense, no matter how genius one is or not..

Oh, man. Everything's turning into shit. Maybe that's a good thing since Light is like a super villain. And still, I'm rooting for him a little, sadly enough.
Something tells me Light is gonna get away with the whole Kira thing but all his accomplices (Misa, the fanboy and the news lady) plus Near and co. are gonna die.

I actually don't like Misa or Kiyomi. Misa is too childish and clingy while Kiyomi is too delusional and silent.

I kind of agree with Teru's morals... :| If I had a DN, I would totally kill the almost-rapist.

I'm sorry, but this Near's "Mikami-Teru-Is-XKira" was such an asspuller. How did he deduce this? There are quite a lot Kira supporters, and nothing he said could prove that he has a connection to Takada. Even if it did, as Takada mentioned, she's getting hundreds of fan mails every day, so a lot of people have "connection" to her.

Otherwise, great episode.

Misa is hilarious, such a good character. I don't know how Near knew Teru was X-Kira, it seems way too lucky. With so much going on I can never tell whether things happening are good for Light or good for Near. Teru definitely revealed himself to Gevanni, but the way the show has been going I feel like Light might have wanted that to happen.
