    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    RE: episode 23...wow, just wow.

    Got my attention back, and it'll probably keep it until this anime is done. the preview made me wet myself in excitement, welcome back ryuk!

    episode 23 was great. the plan that L and Light came up with was laid out really well. it looks like L has figured out about the shinigami, but it appears he still hasn't put it all together about how Higuchi/Kira/Kira2 actually kill. watari is pretty good with a rifle. if higuchi really wanted to kill himself he could always write his own name in the death note and before he dies discard ownership of the death note so the police don't take possession of it.

  5. #485
    Wow..... L is a real genius. Now that Higuchi is captured, what will happen? Will he discard it too? And the death note seemed to be missing because the bag was open.....

    The best part of the ep was Light being surprised that L was going to pilot the helicopter and asking him about it and L being like, "Of course, it's easy" in his completely deadpan voice. I completely forgot that from the manga.

    Also Watari getting out his assault rifle. And L was going to give Light a gun? Doesn't he still suspect him?

    So it seems as if next episode they'll all find out about the Deathnote? Considering the preview where we could see the note and someone was reading the rules, it certainly seems that way. But maybe it's just Light that gets to see it rather than L, I personally think it's too early for L to know exactly what's going on.

    Cannot wait to see how this turns out, I'm on the edge of my seat.

    L knows that Kira will never kill with a gun. I'll always remember this line that L said to Light:

    "I want you to join us, even if you are Kira. Do you understand my thinking?"
    "Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。

    You mean strait face, red eyes and so on?

    Yup, light is very different when he becomes Kira...

  12. #492
    I want to rip my hair out and throw it at my computer! I want more Deathnote now. Just too suspenseful.

  13. #493
    another great episode. light just has so much more personality when he's kira.

  14. #494
    WTF!!!!!!

    Wow, Light rules, non-Light people suck. Even though it's all based on the word of a Shinigami (who they shoulnd't be trusting at all) Light has managed to 'prove' that he and Misa couldn't have been the Kira's with his ploy...well done.

    I feel like Light might plan to kill Misa though, and that could push Rem to aid L, or just kill Light him/herself.

    ugh, this part of the manga just made me sick... I get the same feeling watching it, but even worse, if you understand...

    The whole part with Light's genius plan to get the Note and his memories back while clearing him and Misa of suspicion is, I'll admit, pure brilliance. They executed and explained it quite well. I like that they included the apple from the Shinigami World as well.

    But, as if I didn't enough already, I hate Light even more now. He's just such an evil, manipulative bastard. The false rules... Ugh, you know L is the kind of guy who would never risk his men's life by trying to break them... But what's the worst is how he treats Misa. Yes, she is a stupid, stupid hopelessly obsessed whore. I always felt like this was one of the worst things Light did, taking advantage of her emotions like that. Yes it makes sense and is the smart move... But he's still such a bastard...

    It still blows my mind that people can root for Light and want him to win... His whole "I'm God and all of you will submit to me!" is such arrogant crap. Anyone could have randomly picked up that Note... He didn't earn it, it's not divinve providence validating his horrible sense of justice and ambition... He's a delightful villain to watch, I admit that, but he's even too terrible for me to cheer for...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity.

Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    He's still the protagonist. And as much as I like the whole "Good always triumphs over evil" deal, it's quite refreshing to have a protagonist like Light. It's pure gold to have a character that does not fit the whole goody two-shoes mold. He does have good intentions though, but his means to get there are ruthless and sadistic. And I love it.

    A real vilain as a hero...

    What is interresting though, is that Light is very different from Kira regarding evilness...
    That's why getting to know him as light for several eps was important, as we only saw him like half an ep (or less) before he got the DN.

    And after all, kira may well be someone feeding on light's spirit, wit, behaviour, to make their evilness more and more powerful.

    Do you also think Kira is not Light? In fact Light is only one of the best "vessels" for Kira...

    Kira's only a name thats supposed to sound like Killer. Kira is not an entity. It's just a label.

    Nope, I think he's definitely the same person. The theme of Death Note is how power corrupts basically good people and how you can't achieve justice using unjust means. It's a little more fleshed out in the manga. Light starts out very much on the side of the law. His plan is to join the police like his father. Then he gets the note which is a very tempting shortcut. No studying in the police academy and moving up the ranks, no investigating crime and proving it in a court of law, no responsibility to anyone but himself. Just right down a name and bam, justice accomplished. Very, very easy.

    Of course without due process it basically boils down to murder. But Light falls into the trap a lot of smart, well-intentioned people get into. He believes that he is one of the good guys, and that his intentions are just, so unlike the criminals it's ok if HE commits a crime. After all it is for the greater good. First he uses this excuse to execute criminals, then to kill the FBI agents, then basically anyone who disagrees with him or gets in his way, and without really intending it suddenly it's "I WILL BE GOD!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!11!!11!1" time.

    Take the power, use it, justify your actions based on your intentions, create a new pure, good world and be the only evil person in it.
