Death Note

[Yukimura]

L fans will always believed L made the final step to solve the case which proves he was smart enough to uncover Lights true intentions, Light fans will say that well... he killed L thus he won

I'm not so sure that L fans have anything to celebrate. L seemed to know he was dead, but all he seemed to have on the table was his plan to test the not writing in the Death Note for 13 days kills you rule. While proving this wrong would cast suspicion back on Light it wouldn't have proven anything other than Light could have been Kira. So far that's all L has been able to show, that there wouldn't be any contradictions if Light was Kira.

We know that he believed that Light was Kira more or less from the time he caught Misa, but what he never managed to do was prove that Light was Kira with hard evidence. I see that as a failure on his part, albeit understandable since he was pretty much playing a rigged game. He had to prove that Light was Kira and Light only had to play defense and show he didn't have to be Kira for the facts to fit. Light out lasted him and managed to work in a gambit that killed him, which I see as a victory for him. However, had L and Light's roles been reversed I think L would have managed to kill Light, because of the nature of the situations they were both in. If L is dead (I probably won't believe it until the last episode ends) then it just shows that being Kira beats beats the one who searches for Kira if both sides play nearly perfect games.

I disagree... if proving the fake rule wouldn`t lead to kira = light there would be no point in rem killing L, L even said that if only the rule was fake the case would be solved... if it leads to misa it leads to light as well, taking into account there were 2 kiras, and the light/misa was kira theory would come back again, it would be fairly easy for L to deduct touching the note may give the user his memories back... there are just so many posibilities if the rule was fake.

long story short... a rule that convenientely clear light and misa turns out to be fake... you dont need to be L to know what`s going on

Somehow, during that ep, even though Ryuk said the opposite, i kept thinking that the 13 days rule became real.

at any rate... i kinda cheered at the end of that ep...

[Psyke]

To be released RAH Death note figures: Much too expensive for me though.

[Board of Command]

Those dolls are pretty good looking except for the Misa ones. She just looks creepy.

I'd hit it though. Twice.

Not a bad episode. I liked this one because the presentation of the story in the anime really added a lot when compared to the manga.

I liked Misa's song ok, but the images of her casually walking around finding people to kill were better, not to mention all kinds of hubris. L was particularly weird this ep, but also sad. They did a nice job of showing how he was lonely, he was brilliant but isolated, and despite everything he was happy to have found a friend in Light. And then he starts suspecting that his friend who had lost his memory of being Kira had changed into someone else and wasn't his friend anymore...

I liked where L was standing in the rain and Light is yelling at him and L smiles and holds his hand to his ear. And that whole scene was just really nice. The setting with the giant receiver, L wondering if the bells were for a wedding (no, I don't think so... ;_; ), how they cut out the sound for L's question, "Since you were born, have you told the truth even once?" Sometimes they overdo the drama in this one (chip-eating scene) but here it actually fit. And of course the death scene...

And evil triumphs over good.

Heh maybe the rules will become real. I mean it has never been stated that fake rules wont become real.

Heh maybe the rules will become real. I mean it has never been stated that fake rules wont become real.

I think so too.
Do we know how much time has passed since L and Co. finding Higuchi´s death note?
If it arent already 13 days, there could be happening something.

And still, i think L will rturn somehow...which will annoy me to death. I really like Light and his goal to change the world.
You know, in ep 25, when L fell down in slowmo, for a short moment i thought "shit, now Light starts to feel guilty for what he has done"...but then he did his evil smile and it was the most awsome moment of the series ^^

[animus]

No, I don't think the fake rules will become real, unless they were already real in teh first place. Or if the Shinigami King makes them real. The rules that were written were written by Ryuk himself, and only included stuff that he himself only knew about. He didn't write about the Shinigami Eye Deal (though he knew about it), or that a torn Death Note page outside of the book itself, still retains it's killing properties, and various other things.

[UChessmaster]

i agree... i dont think a rule becomes real just because someone types it on the note...

[Knives122]

Well I just finished watching both movies and read all of the manga. and they were both pretty much how I expected it to end. Definitely a good ending.

[Mr. Roboto]

Kuro-Hana just released episode 26

[Koyuki]

Kinda boring, but the end was great. Who are the kids, L clones?

[NeoCybercoin]

I think they are XD

Prolly from the same orphanage L was from. And most likely just as smart as him.

Say anybody know where to get ending song?

[Mr. Roboto]

the recap was kind of boring and made this only half a new episode. but i thought it was pretty good. as expected, light is going all out to reshape the world in his vision. he thinks that he will be unopposed and unmatched but the ending suggests otherwise. light is probably going to get reckless and leave himself open somehow. it looks like the guy with the two kids is going to take revenge.

[animus]

This is about where most people as well as I, stopped reading the manga.

[complich8]

With L gone, I felt like Light sort of lost his direction for a while. Having grown used to a strong opponent, in the absence of one it's hard to think like a weak opponent.

It's going to be interesting to see how the storyline makes this work.

Also, I noticed on anidb, it's reportedly a 37 episode series. So there's 11 more until the end. I don't know if they can build another Light-versus-L level story and resolve it in 11 eps...

should be interesting to see.

[BioAlien]

Nice recap.

Who are those kids? And how are they related to L?

Light seems to have succeeded to make the world the way he wanted... for now..

Off topic: Animanda sure take their times to sub.. before they were 1 week behind.. now it is 3 weeks.

[Yukimura]

@NeoCybercoin www.gendou.com has it, and nipponsei might also have it in higher quality by now but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know when the story was supposed to have started. I noticed they said in 2012 Light joined the national police, so has there been a time skip, and if so how big?

[masamuneehs]

bah, I don't like recap episodes at all...

Can't wait for the next one to come out, should be interesting to see how the "kids" are portrayed.

Watari was a inventor and philanthropist who created orphanages around the world. At one of those orphanages, a man recieved the time-delayed message, "L is dead" and is now conveying that information to the two. Read into that all you like.
