What?
A pair of sleeping skulls?

Hehe, I win again!

No hard feelings, right?

Hey there, Ryuk,
would it kill you to join us?

You should come play with us for a change!

No, I'll pass.

Listen for the voice of God then follow it

and know that in time
you will find your salvation.

I know, I didn't even do
anything wrong!

-He just totally snapped at me!
-Really? So, what did--

Yagami, are you still with us?

Can you please translate

-the following sentence into English?
-Serious? Wow!

[sighs]

Follow the teachings of God
and receive his blessings

and so, it shall be that the seas
will again become bountiful

and the raging storms will subside.

Today, at
approximately 11:00 a.m. a 32-year-old man

was found stabbed to death
in his apartment

in the city of Yokohama
Karigara Prefecture.

Karigara police are treating this case
as a homicide.

In other news, today,
suspected murderer Naoki Tokuji

was arrested
in the district of Shibuya Tokyo.

He is being held in custody
facing murder charges

for the brutal slaying
of his common-law partner,

who was only 25 at the time of her death.

Day in and day out...

the same news on permanent repeat.

This is all so... ridiculous.

This world is...

...rotten.

REBIRTH

Another noticeable consequence

is the extinction
of many species on the planet.

No way! You--

Species are now becoming extinct
at a faster rate

than has ever occurred
in our recorded history.

We already saw it.

[indistinct chattering]

Death Note?

As in a notebook of death?

Hmm.

"How to use it:

the human whose name
is written in this notebook…

shall die!"

Hmm.

[smirks]

It's pretty lame,

not to mention... twisted.

It's really not that different
from one of those chain letters you get.

A human whose name
is written in this notebook shall die?

Come on.

There must be something wrong with me
to even consider it.

"This note will not take effect

unless the writer
has the person's face in their mind

when writing his or her name.

Therefore, people sharing the same name
will not be affected.

If the cause of death is written

within 40 seconds
of writing the person's name,

it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified,

the person will simply
die of a heart attack.

After writing the cause of death,

details of the death should be written

in the next six minutes and 40 seconds.

Hmm.

So, depending on the person
you have in mind,

you can either kill them easily
or painfully. Huh.

This is pretty detailed for a prank,
I'll give them that.

[sighs]

So, I write a name
and that person… dies.

Like anyone would believe that.

[grunts]

Wait,

on the off chance someone really dies,

would that make me a murderer?

Yeah right, it's completely impossible.

The same assailant
who attacked six people

at a busy shopping district
in Sinjuku yesterday,

has struck again,

taking eight people hostage
at this daycare center.

His captives include
both children and teachers.

The police have now identified the suspect

as 42-year-old Kuro Otoharada,

currently unemployed.

We expect negotiations
to begin immediately.

KUROU OTOHARADA

Hmm...

A heart attack in 40 seconds?

We'll see.

At the present time,
that's all the police are telling us.

You can't help

but feel concerned
for the safety of those hostages.

You're right.

We'll continue to monitor
the situation from here.

Thank you for that report.

What do you make of this, Mr. Hashimoto?

Well, one can only hope
for a quick resolution to this situation.

Looks like the notebook doesn't work.

Oh well, I didn't expect it to anyway.

Wait, we're seeing something here!

There's movement
at the front entrance!

The hostages are coming out,

and they all look to be unharmed!

The Special Forces are taking action;
they're moving in!

We don't know
if the suspect's been arrested.

Huh? Yes?

Ok, we now have confirmation.

The suspect has been found dead inside!

I repeat, the suspect is now dead!

Dead?

KUROU OTOHARADA

The Special Forces
are denying allegations

that they shot the suspect.

So, it's quite possible
he was feeling cornered

and decided to commit suicide?

Well, according
to statements from hostages

the suspect just suddenly collapsed.

A heart attack?

No way!

It's coincidence!

This has to be a coincidence!

Light!

It's already 6:30, you know!

Don't you have cram school tonight?

Yeah, I'll be ready in just a sec.

Death Note…

it's unlikely,

but if by chance this thing is for real,

I have to test it one more time.

In which case,

it should probably be another criminal.
But...

if he's too well-known,
that will be a problem.

If he dies, there's a good possibility

that news of his death will be covered up.

I need to see results right away.

Hey, Ryo buddy.

What is it, Sudou?

Didn't you want to lend me 20 dollars?

What, again? But I can't do that.

-Sudou.
-You can't…

Maybe I should try killing him.

No, I should definitely avoid
killing people I know.

Then again,
does it even really matter?

I mean, would anyone really care

if I guy like him
was to disappear one day?

Sweet, looks like we'll be hanging

-at the arcade after school.

We're having
a speed dating party tomorrow.

You wanna come?

-Yeah, of course.
-Oh yeah, there's no way I'm missing that.

Dammit, why is my mom so useless!

She's never here to pick me up on time!

Once you actually start looking around,

it makes you wonder
if you'd be doing society a favor

by getting rid of all these people.

Hey baby!

Where you going?

Come have a little fun with us!

That's our Takuo for ya.
This guy can spot a hottie a mile away.

What's up, little lady?

The name's Takuo Shibuimaru.

What do ya say? Come hang out with us,
pretty lady.

Please, I don't want any trouble.

You hear that?
She doesn't want trouble.

Isn't that cute?

Let's go, boys.
Strip her down right here.

Are you sure?

No! Stop!

Please!

Help me!

TAKUO SHIBUIMARU
ACCIDENTAL DEATH

Now, what will happen?

Hey, wait up!

Takuo, look out!

That settles it.

The Death Note...

It's for real!

Oh man!

-Takuo!
-Stupid kid,

he just came outta nowhere!

Now then,

I'd better get going.

It's been five days.

Now then,

I'd better get going.

Eh? You headed somewhere, Ryuk?

Hate to tell you, but our whole world
looks like this.

That's true, but I've dropped
my Death Note.

You really messed things up, didn't you?

Hold on a sec.

Didn't you already trick the Old Man
to get a second book?

Don't tell me you dropped both of them.

You must have some idea
where you dropped the thing?

Yeah, the human world.

What?!

What a nice surprise!

I wasn't expecting you home so early.

Yeah.

Hi mom. It's because…

Huh?

Oh...

the results of the nationwide exams.

I've been waiting all day.

Here.

Goodness! Number one, again!

These are the highest scores you've had.

Yeah, I guess.

I'm going to study in my room,
so please don't interrupt me, ok?

As you wish.

Oh Light,

do you want anything at all, dear?

You can ask for whatever you like.

No, I'm fine, Mom. Thanks though.

I've already got what I want.

You've taken quite a liking to it.

No reason to act surprised.

I am the Shinigami, Ryuk.

That used to be my notebook.

Judging by your laughter,

you've already figured out

that what you have
is no ordinary notebook.

a God of Death, huh?

Well, I'm not surprised. In fact…

Ryuk...

I've been waiting... for you.

Oh?

I've already figured out that
this Death Note that I've found is real.

It didn't take me long.

And now that I've witnessed
the proof of its power,

I only feel more confident
what I'm gonna do.

That's interesting.

I certainly wasn't expecting this.

Several Death Notes have made their way
into the human world in the past,

but you're the first
to have written this many names.

Look at how many people
you’ve killed in only five days.

Most are reluctant to write this much.

I've already prepared myself, Ryuk.

I used the notebook even though
I knew it belonged to a Shinigami,

and now that Shinigami has come.

So, what will happen to me?

You're here to take my soul, right?

Hmm, what do you mean?

Is that some fantasy
you humans came up with?

I'm not gonna do anything to you.

The notebook becomes
part of the human realm

from the very moment it touches the earth.

In other words, the notebook is now yours.

This… is mine?

If you don't want it,
just give it to someone else.

But if you give it away,
I'd have no choice

but to erase your memories
of the notebook.

So, then, you're saying

I can use the Death Note all I want
and I won't be punished?

Let's just say this,

you will feel the fear and pain

known only to humans
who have used the notebook.

And when it's your time to die,

it will fall on me to write your name
in my Death Note.

Be warned,

any human who's used a Death Note

can neither go to heaven nor hell
for eternity.

That's all.

Now you have something
to look forward to after you die.

Light?

It'll be alright.

Answer it.

What is it?

I thought you'd like some apples.

The neighbors brought them over for us.

Why on earth is it so dark in your room?

-You'll ruin your eyesight!
-What's going on?

Mom can't see him?

That notebook you found
originally belonged to me,

and since you're now using it,

you are the only one able to see me,

and of course, my voice

can only be heard by you.

In other words,

the Death Note is the bond
between Light, the human

and Ryuk, the Shinigami.

Mhmm.

Yum.

I just have one more question
I wanna ask you.

Why was I chosen for this?

Hey, are you even listening?

Apples in the human world
are worth the trip.

What's the best way to describe these?

Juicy?

Just answer my question?

I didn't choose you.

Don't you see?
This is all just an accident.

You actually thought you were chosen
because you're so smart or something?

Don't be so vain.

It just happened to fall around here,
and you just happened to pick it up.

And that's all there is to it.

That's why I wrote the instructions
in English,

the most popular language
in the human world.

Then why did you drop it
in the first place?

You even wrote down specific instructions,

so don't try telling me
this was an accident!

You're asking me why?

I did it 'cause I was bored.

You were bored?

The truth is Shinigami haven't got
much to do these days.

Most of the time we're either taking naps
or gambling.

If you take the time to write names
in your Death Note,

the others just laugh at you
for working so hard.

Even if you wrote the name
of another Shinigami,

it'd be pointless
because they wouldn't die.

And since we live in the Shinigami Realm,

it brings us no amusement to kill those
in the human world either.

So, I figured I'd have more fun
if I came down here myself.

Anyway, I'm surprised at how many names
you've written,

but I wanna know why you only wrote

the cause of death for that guy
who was hit by the truck.

If you don't write down
the cause of death,

the victim dies of a heart attack,

and that's probably the best thing
about the Death Note, Ryuk.

Huh?

You see, I've already exhausted
the list of the world's major criminals,

and eventually,
I'm going to get rid of them all.

What's the point of doing that?

It's only a matter of time
before people figure out

that these criminals
are being eliminated by someone.

I want the world to know of my existence.

That there's someone out there
passing righteous judgement on the wicked!

Why even bother?

What are you trying to achieve
by passing judgement on them.

I mean, why do you care?

Because…

I've been bored too.

I wasn't ready to believe it at first,

but it's obvious now.

There's something
about the Death Note itself

that makes humans want to try it out
at least once.

I killed them both.

I really… I killed two men.

Those were human lives,

it won't be overlooked.

Besides,

who am I to pass judgement on others?

No, no wait.

Maybe I'm wrong.

This is exactly
what I've been thinking about lately.

This world is rotting,

and those who are making it rot
deserve to die.

Someone has to do it, so why not me?

Even if it means sacrificing
my own mind and soul,

it's worth it.

Because the world...

can't go on like this.

I've wondered…

what if someone else
picked up this notebook.

Is there anyone out there, other than me,

who would be willing
to eliminate the vermin from the world?

If I don't do it,

then who will?

That's just it; there's no one,

but I can do it.

In fact,

I'm the only one who can.

I'll do it,

using the Death Note,

I'll change the world.

At first, I wrote the names
of the worst criminals I could think of.

Like I was cleaning up the world,
one name at a time,

so that eventually no one will ever
do anything evil again.

And while the truly guilty ones who
deserve to be punished for their crimes

die of heart attacks,

the people who are less guilty
but who still make trouble for others

will slowly be erased
through disease and accidental death.

Then, and only then,

the world will start moving
in the right direction.

It'll be a new world, free of injustice,
and populated by people

who I've judged to be honest,
kind, and hardworking.

But if you did that, it would make you
the only bad person left.

Huh? I have no idea
what you're talking about.

I'm a hard-working honor student

who is considered to be one of Japan's
best and brightest.

And I…

I will become the God of this New World.

It's just as I thought,

humans are so interesting.
