1
00:02:07,903 --> 00:02:10,904
What?
A pair of sleeping skulls?
2
00:02:11,488 --> 00:02:13,322
Hehe, I win again!
3
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:15,323
No hard feelings, right?
4
00:02:15,782 --> 00:02:18,366
Hey there, Ryuk,
would it kill you to join us?
5
00:02:18,871 --> 00:02:21,367
You should come play with us for a change!
6
00:02:23,793 --> 00:02:26,495
No, I'll pass.
7
00:02:28,954 --> 00:02:30,914
Listen for the voice of God then follow it
8
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:33,040
and know that in time
you will find your salvation.
9
00:02:33,123 --> 00:02:34,999
I know, I didn't even do
anything wrong!
10
00:02:35,082 --> 00:02:37,626
-He just totally snapped at me!
-Really? So, what did--
11
00:02:37,751 --> 00:02:39,293
Yagami, are you still with us?
12
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:40,794
Can you please translate
13
00:02:40,877 --> 00:02:43,295
-the following sentence into English?
-Serious? Wow!
14
00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:45,087
[sighs]
15
00:02:46,505 --> 00:02:49,298
Follow the teachings of God
and receive his blessings
16
00:02:49,423 --> 00:02:52,883
and so, it shall be that the seas
will again become bountiful
17
00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:56,218
and the raging storms will subside.
18
00:02:56,426 --> 00:03:00,136
Today, at
approximately 11:00 a.m. a 32-year-old man
19
00:03:00,303 --> 00:03:02,513
was found stabbed to death
in his apartment
20
00:03:02,596 --> 00:03:05,263
in the city of Yokohama
Karigara Prefecture.
21
00:03:05,388 --> 00:03:08,474
Karigara police are treating this case
as a homicide.
22
00:03:09,140 --> 00:03:12,142
In other news, today,
suspected murderer Naoki Tokuji
23
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:14,810
was arrested
in the district of Shibuya Tokyo.
24
00:03:14,935 --> 00:03:17,269
He is being held in custody
facing murder charges
25
00:03:17,394 --> 00:03:19,646
for the brutal slaying
of his common-law partner,
26
00:03:19,854 --> 00:03:22,522
who was only 25 at the time of her death.
27
00:03:24,731 --> 00:03:26,649
Day in and day out...
28
00:03:28,233 --> 00:03:30,442
the same news on permanent repeat.
29
00:03:31,902 --> 00:03:35,237
This is all so... ridiculous.
30
00:03:36,153 --> 00:03:37,946
This world is...
31
00:03:38,029 --> 00:03:39,614
...rotten.
32
00:03:39,781 --> 00:03:42,698
REBIRTH
33
00:03:43,491 --> 00:03:45,367
Another noticeable consequence
34
00:03:45,450 --> 00:03:48,284
is the extinction
of many species on the planet.
35
00:03:48,409 --> 00:03:49,660
No way! You--
36
00:03:49,743 --> 00:03:51,994
Species are now becoming extinct
at a faster rate
37
00:03:52,119 --> 00:03:54,287
than has ever occurred
in our recorded history.
38
00:03:54,371 --> 00:03:55,871
We already saw it.
39
00:04:10,962 --> 00:04:13,672
[indistinct chattering]
40
00:04:30,055 --> 00:04:31,180
Death Note?
41
00:04:31,597 --> 00:04:33,640
As in a notebook of death?
42
00:04:34,223 --> 00:04:35,349
Hmm.
43
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,851
"How to use it:
44
00:04:39,142 --> 00:04:41,852
the human whose name
is written in this notebook…
45
00:04:42,227 --> 00:04:43,478
shall die!"
46
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,770
Hmm.
47
00:04:46,771 --> 00:04:47,771
[smirks]
48
00:04:47,896 --> 00:04:49,022
It's pretty lame,
49
00:04:49,523 --> 00:04:51,274
not to mention... twisted.
50
00:04:52,023 --> 00:04:54,817
It's really not that different
from one of those chain letters you get.
51
00:04:55,525 --> 00:04:58,610
A human whose name
is written in this notebook shall die?
52
00:04:58,735 --> 00:04:59,944
Come on.
53
00:05:08,907 --> 00:05:11,908
There must be something wrong with me
to even consider it.
54
00:05:15,577 --> 00:05:16,952
"This note will not take effect
55
00:05:17,035 --> 00:05:19,370
unless the writer
has the person's face in their mind
56
00:05:19,453 --> 00:05:21,121
when writing his or her name.
57
00:05:21,204 --> 00:05:25,123
Therefore, people sharing the same name
will not be affected.
58
00:05:25,415 --> 00:05:26,874
If the cause of death is written
59
00:05:26,957 --> 00:05:29,375
within 40 seconds
of writing the person's name,
60
00:05:29,458 --> 00:05:30,542
it will happen.
61
00:05:30,876 --> 00:05:32,918
If the cause of death is not specified,
62
00:05:33,002 --> 00:05:35,086
the person will simply
die of a heart attack.
63
00:05:35,795 --> 00:05:37,212
After writing the cause of death,
64
00:05:37,296 --> 00:05:38,880
details of the death should be written
65
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:41,006
in the next six minutes and 40 seconds.
66
00:05:42,006 --> 00:05:42,965
Hmm.
67
00:05:43,090 --> 00:05:44,799
So, depending on the person
you have in mind,
68
00:05:44,883 --> 00:05:46,800
you can either kill them easily
or painfully. Huh.
69
00:05:47,676 --> 00:05:50,510
This is pretty detailed for a prank,
I'll give them that.
70
00:05:52,887 --> 00:05:53,887
[sighs]
71
00:05:57,972 --> 00:06:01,057
So, I write a name
and that person… dies.
72
00:06:01,891 --> 00:06:03,641
Like anyone would believe that.
73
00:06:12,730 --> 00:06:13,646
[grunts]
74
00:06:19,691 --> 00:06:20,609
Wait,
75
00:06:20,691 --> 00:06:22,901
on the off chance someone really dies,
76
00:06:22,984 --> 00:06:24,818
would that make me a murderer?
77
00:06:26,527 --> 00:06:29,279
Yeah right, it's completely impossible.
78
00:06:29,863 --> 00:06:32,197
The same assailant
who attacked six people
79
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,239
at a busy shopping district
in Sinjuku yesterday,
80
00:06:34,323 --> 00:06:35,198
has struck again,
81
00:06:35,282 --> 00:06:37,408
taking eight people hostage
at this daycare center.
82
00:06:37,533 --> 00:06:40,075
His captives include
both children and teachers.
83
00:06:40,284 --> 00:06:41,952
{\an8}The police have now identified the suspect
84
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,994
{\an8}as 42-year-old Kuro Otoharada,
85
00:06:44,494 --> 00:06:45,828
currently unemployed.
86
00:06:45,953 --> 00:06:48,330
We expect negotiations
to begin immediately.
87
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:50,581
KUROU OTOHARADA
88
00:06:50,831 --> 00:06:51,956
Hmm...
89
00:06:53,207 --> 00:06:55,000
A heart attack in 40 seconds?
90
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:57,271
We'll see.
91
00:06:57,976 --> 00:07:00,419
At the present time,
that's all the police are telling us.
92
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:01,711
You can't help
93
00:07:01,736 --> 00:07:03,879
but feel concerned
for the safety of those hostages.
94
00:07:04,004 --> 00:07:05,212
You're right.
95
00:07:05,615 --> 00:07:07,894
{\an8}We'll continue to monitor
the situation from here.
96
00:07:08,059 --> 00:07:09,341
{\an8}Thank you for that report.
97
00:07:09,632 --> 00:07:11,507
What do you make of this, Mr. Hashimoto?
98
00:07:11,758 --> 00:07:15,593
Well, one can only hope
for a quick resolution to this situation.
99
00:07:17,135 --> 00:07:18,928
Looks like the notebook doesn't work.
100
00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:22,336
Oh well, I didn't expect it to anyway.
101
00:07:22,936 --> 00:07:24,431
Wait, we're seeing something here!
102
00:07:24,536 --> 00:07:26,889
There's movement
at the front entrance!
103
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:28,141
The hostages are coming out,
104
00:07:28,391 --> 00:07:29,808
and they all look to be unharmed!
105
00:07:29,955 --> 00:07:32,716
The Special Forces are taking action;
they're moving in!
106
00:07:32,761 --> 00:07:34,685
We don't know
if the suspect's been arrested.
107
00:07:35,061 --> 00:07:35,937
Huh? Yes?
108
00:07:36,145 --> 00:07:38,299
Ok, we now have confirmation.
109
00:07:38,324 --> 00:07:40,188
The suspect has been found dead inside!
110
00:07:40,482 --> 00:07:42,935
I repeat, the suspect is now dead!
111
00:07:42,981 --> 00:07:43,899
Dead?
112
00:07:43,981 --> 00:07:45,941
KUROU OTOHARADA
113
00:07:46,423 --> 00:07:48,317
The Special Forces
are denying allegations
114
00:07:48,342 --> 00:07:49,693
that they shot the suspect.
115
00:07:50,256 --> 00:07:52,229
So, it's quite possible
he was feeling cornered
116
00:07:52,294 --> 00:07:53,528
and decided to commit suicide?
117
00:07:53,612 --> 00:07:55,844
Well, according
to statements from hostages
118
00:07:55,868 --> 00:07:57,617
the suspect just suddenly collapsed.
119
00:07:58,369 --> 00:07:59,989
A heart attack?
120
00:08:02,507 --> 00:08:03,324
No way!
121
00:08:04,075 --> 00:08:05,259
It's coincidence!
122
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:07,451
This has to be a coincidence!
123
00:08:07,618 --> 00:08:08,744
Light!
124
00:08:09,869 --> 00:08:11,787
It's already 6:30, you know!
125
00:08:11,912 --> 00:08:13,913
Don't you have cram school tonight?
126
00:08:14,163 --> 00:08:16,373
Yeah, I'll be ready in just a sec.
127
00:08:17,790 --> 00:08:18,791
Death Note…
128
00:08:19,570 --> 00:08:20,124
it's unlikely,
129
00:08:20,249 --> 00:08:22,250
but if by chance this thing is for real,
130
00:08:22,829 --> 00:08:24,085
I have to test it one more time.
131
00:08:24,154 --> 00:08:25,432
In which case,
132
00:08:25,457 --> 00:08:28,295
it should probably be another criminal.
But...
133
00:08:28,677 --> 00:08:31,338
if he's too well-known,
that will be a problem.
134
00:08:31,421 --> 00:08:33,589
If he dies, there's a good possibility
135
00:08:33,673 --> 00:08:35,507
that news of his death will be covered up.
136
00:08:36,626 --> 00:08:38,293
I need to see results right away.
137
00:08:39,217 --> 00:08:40,467
Hey, Ryo buddy.
138
00:08:41,218 --> 00:08:42,301
What is it, Sudou?
139
00:08:42,468 --> 00:08:44,552
Didn't you want to lend me 20 dollars?
140
00:08:45,011 --> 00:08:46,929
What, again? But I can't do that.
141
00:08:46,981 --> 00:08:48,258
-Sudou.
-You can't…
142
00:08:48,283 --> 00:08:49,972
Maybe I should try killing him.
143
00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:53,516
No, I should definitely avoid
killing people I know.
144
00:08:54,784 --> 00:08:57,393
Then again,
does it even really matter?
145
00:08:57,854 --> 00:08:59,227
I mean, would anyone really care
146
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:01,353
if I guy like him
was to disappear one day?
147
00:09:04,187 --> 00:09:05,939
Sweet, looks like we'll be hanging
148
00:09:05,971 --> 00:09:07,106
-at the arcade after school.
149
00:09:08,095 --> 00:09:09,982
We're having
a speed dating party tomorrow.
150
00:09:10,107 --> 00:09:10,983
You wanna come?
151
00:09:11,066 --> 00:09:13,733
-Yeah, of course.
-Oh yeah, there's no way I'm missing that.
152
00:09:13,858 --> 00:09:16,151
Dammit, why is my mom so useless!
153
00:09:16,235 --> 00:09:18,194
She's never here to pick me up on time!
154
00:09:19,081 --> 00:09:21,112
Once you actually start looking around,
155
00:09:21,862 --> 00:09:24,656
it makes you wonder
if you'd be doing society a favor
156
00:09:24,738 --> 00:09:26,448
by getting rid of all these people.
157
00:09:28,824 --> 00:09:29,908
Hey baby!
158
00:09:30,367 --> 00:09:31,826
Where you going?
159
00:09:31,909 --> 00:09:33,618
Come have a little fun with us!
160
00:09:33,743 --> 00:09:36,411
That's our Takuo for ya.
This guy can spot a hottie a mile away.
161
00:09:36,869 --> 00:09:38,453
What's up, little lady?
162
00:09:38,537 --> 00:09:41,163
The name's Takuo Shibuimaru.
163
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:43,915
What do ya say? Come hang out with us,
pretty lady.
164
00:09:44,164 --> 00:09:46,124
Please, I don't want any trouble.
165
00:09:46,214 --> 00:09:48,549
You hear that?
She doesn't want trouble.
166
00:09:48,917 --> 00:09:50,584
Isn't that cute?
167
00:09:54,044 --> 00:09:57,361
Let's go, boys.
Strip her down right here.
168
00:09:57,386 --> 00:09:57,838
Are you sure?
169
00:09:58,463 --> 00:10:00,297
No! Stop!
170
00:10:01,090 --> 00:10:01,965
Please!
171
00:10:02,173 --> 00:10:03,841
Help me!
172
00:10:06,259 --> 00:10:08,802
TAKUO SHIBUIMARU
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
173
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:11,344
Now, what will happen?
174
00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:15,198
Hey, wait up!
175
00:10:15,223 --> 00:10:16,472
Takuo, look out!
176
00:10:23,993 --> 00:10:25,661
That settles it.
177
00:10:25,865 --> 00:10:26,907
The Death Note...
178
00:10:27,394 --> 00:10:28,353
It's for real!
179
00:10:29,058 --> 00:10:29,895
Oh man!
180
00:10:29,979 --> 00:10:31,604
-Takuo!
-Stupid kid,
181
00:10:31,771 --> 00:10:34,480
he just came outta nowhere!
182
00:10:37,274 --> 00:10:38,399
Now then,
183
00:10:38,894 --> 00:10:40,275
I'd better get going.
184
00:10:53,999 --> 00:10:55,659
It's been five days.
185
00:10:56,742 --> 00:10:57,909
Now then,
186
00:10:58,159 --> 00:10:59,660
I'd better get going.
187
00:10:59,715 --> 00:11:02,245
Eh? You headed somewhere, Ryuk?
188
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:06,038
Hate to tell you, but our whole world
looks like this.
189
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,623
That's true, but I've dropped
my Death Note.
190
00:11:11,416 --> 00:11:13,542
You really messed things up, didn't you?
191
00:11:13,669 --> 00:11:14,546
Hold on a sec.
192
00:11:14,570 --> 00:11:17,482
Didn't you already trick the Old Man
to get a second book?
193
00:11:17,699 --> 00:11:19,712
Don't tell me you dropped both of them.
194
00:11:19,837 --> 00:11:23,011
You must have some idea
where you dropped the thing?
195
00:11:23,036 --> 00:11:25,423
Yeah, the human world.
196
00:11:25,548 --> 00:11:26,965
What?!
197
00:11:55,432 --> 00:11:56,896
What a nice surprise!
198
00:11:56,921 --> 00:11:58,897
I wasn't expecting you home so early.
199
00:11:58,981 --> 00:12:00,064
Yeah.
200
00:12:00,868 --> 00:12:02,649
Hi mom. It's because…
201
00:12:02,899 --> 00:12:03,899
Huh?
202
00:12:05,443 --> 00:12:06,443
Oh...
203
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:08,565
the results of the nationwide exams.
204
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:10,028
I've been waiting all day.
205
00:12:10,936 --> 00:12:11,979
Here.
206
00:12:12,493 --> 00:12:14,447
Goodness! Number one, again!
207
00:12:14,728 --> 00:12:16,740
These are the highest scores you've had.
208
00:12:16,823 --> 00:12:17,917
Yeah, I guess.
209
00:12:17,942 --> 00:12:20,658
I'm going to study in my room,
so please don't interrupt me, ok?
210
00:12:20,743 --> 00:12:21,950
As you wish.
211
00:12:22,284 --> 00:12:23,200
Oh Light,
212
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,327
do you want anything at all, dear?
213
00:12:25,493 --> 00:12:27,016
You can ask for whatever you like.
214
00:12:27,041 --> 00:12:29,162
No, I'm fine, Mom. Thanks though.
215
00:12:32,284 --> 00:12:34,123
I've already got what I want.
216
00:12:53,207 --> 00:12:55,675
You've taken quite a liking to it.
217
00:13:02,835 --> 00:13:05,055
No reason to act surprised.
218
00:13:05,461 --> 00:13:07,306
I am the Shinigami, Ryuk.
219
00:13:07,515 --> 00:13:09,349
That used to be my notebook.
220
00:13:09,887 --> 00:13:11,304
Judging by your laughter,
221
00:13:11,474 --> 00:13:12,642
you've already figured out
222
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:15,226
that what you have
is no ordinary notebook.
223
00:13:23,605 --> 00:13:25,064
a God of Death, huh?
224
00:13:27,227 --> 00:13:29,608
Well, I'm not surprised. In fact…
225
00:13:30,651 --> 00:13:31,609
Ryuk...
226
00:13:32,234 --> 00:13:34,693
I've been waiting... for you.
227
00:13:35,194 --> 00:13:36,236
Oh?
228
00:13:37,070 --> 00:13:40,155
I've already figured out that
this Death Note that I've found is real.
229
00:13:40,238 --> 00:13:41,656
It didn't take me long.
230
00:13:41,906 --> 00:13:44,282
And now that I've witnessed
the proof of its power,
231
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:47,492
I only feel more confident
what I'm gonna do.
232
00:13:47,909 --> 00:13:49,117
That's interesting.
233
00:13:49,701 --> 00:13:51,994
I certainly wasn't expecting this.
234
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,871
Several Death Notes have made their way
into the human world in the past,
235
00:13:55,953 --> 00:13:58,705
but you're the first
to have written this many names.
236
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:02,666
Look at how many people
you’ve killed in only five days.
237
00:14:02,749 --> 00:14:05,125
Most are reluctant to write this much.
238
00:14:06,051 --> 00:14:07,876
I've already prepared myself, Ryuk.
239
00:14:08,204 --> 00:14:11,420
I used the notebook even though
I knew it belonged to a Shinigami,
240
00:14:11,503 --> 00:14:13,129
and now that Shinigami has come.
241
00:14:13,864 --> 00:14:15,323
So, what will happen to me?
242
00:14:15,704 --> 00:14:17,422
You're here to take my soul, right?
243
00:14:17,798 --> 00:14:19,298
Hmm, what do you mean?
244
00:14:19,994 --> 00:14:23,051
Is that some fantasy
you humans came up with?
245
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:25,635
I'm not gonna do anything to you.
246
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:29,595
The notebook becomes
part of the human realm
247
00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:31,763
from the very moment it touches the earth.
248
00:14:32,057 --> 00:14:35,223
In other words, the notebook is now yours.
249
00:14:35,807 --> 00:14:37,432
This… is mine?
250
00:14:37,766 --> 00:14:40,393
If you don't want it,
just give it to someone else.
251
00:14:40,558 --> 00:14:42,643
But if you give it away,
I'd have no choice
252
00:14:42,668 --> 00:14:45,103
but to erase your memories
of the notebook.
253
00:14:45,937 --> 00:14:47,312
So, then, you're saying
254
00:14:47,396 --> 00:14:50,230
I can use the Death Note all I want
and I won't be punished?
255
00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:52,065
Let's just say this,
256
00:14:52,648 --> 00:14:54,482
you will feel the fear and pain
257
00:14:54,507 --> 00:14:56,942
known only to humans
who have used the notebook.
258
00:14:58,484 --> 00:15:00,360
And when it's your time to die,
259
00:15:00,652 --> 00:15:04,278
it will fall on me to write your name
in my Death Note.
260
00:15:05,488 --> 00:15:06,435
Be warned,
261
00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:08,518
any human who's used a Death Note
262
00:15:08,625 --> 00:15:11,907
can neither go to heaven nor hell
for eternity.
263
00:15:13,367 --> 00:15:14,492
That's all.
264
00:15:19,444 --> 00:15:23,038
Now you have something
to look forward to after you die.
265
00:15:25,952 --> 00:15:26,963
Light?
266
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:28,249
It'll be alright.
267
00:15:28,457 --> 00:15:29,499
Answer it.
268
00:15:31,849 --> 00:15:33,031
What is it?
269
00:15:33,063 --> 00:15:34,627
I thought you'd like some apples.
270
00:15:34,711 --> 00:15:36,752
The neighbors brought them over for us.
271
00:15:36,961 --> 00:15:39,003
Why on earth is it so dark in your room?
272
00:15:39,504 --> 00:15:41,672
-You'll ruin your eyesight!
-What's going on?
273
00:15:42,505 --> 00:15:44,006
Mom can't see him?
274
00:15:46,091 --> 00:15:49,676
That notebook you found
originally belonged to me,
275
00:15:49,968 --> 00:15:51,510
and since you're now using it,
276
00:15:51,677 --> 00:15:54,011
you are the only one able to see me,
277
00:15:54,095 --> 00:15:55,415
and of course, my voice
278
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,346
can only be heard by you.
279
00:15:57,513 --> 00:15:58,555
In other words,
280
00:15:58,638 --> 00:16:01,348
the Death Note is the bond
between Light, the human
281
00:16:01,473 --> 00:16:03,391
and Ryuk, the Shinigami.
282
00:16:05,142 --> 00:16:06,851
Mhmm.
283
00:16:07,574 --> 00:16:08,143
Yum.
284
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:10,809
I just have one more question
I wanna ask you.
285
00:16:10,985 --> 00:16:12,645
Why was I chosen for this?
286
00:16:14,020 --> 00:16:15,938
Hey, are you even listening?
287
00:16:18,908 --> 00:16:21,274
Apples in the human world
are worth the trip.
288
00:16:21,524 --> 00:16:23,442
What's the best way to describe these?
289
00:16:24,002 --> 00:16:24,877
Juicy?
290
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:26,819
Just answer my question?
291
00:16:27,464 --> 00:16:28,653
I didn't choose you.
292
00:16:29,069 --> 00:16:31,362
Don't you see?
This is all just an accident.
293
00:16:31,779 --> 00:16:35,030
You actually thought you were chosen
because you're so smart or something?
294
00:16:35,406 --> 00:16:36,823
Don't be so vain.
295
00:16:37,198 --> 00:16:40,825
It just happened to fall around here,
and you just happened to pick it up.
296
00:16:41,075 --> 00:16:42,410
And that's all there is to it.
297
00:16:42,784 --> 00:16:44,952
That's why I wrote the instructions
in English,
298
00:16:45,077 --> 00:16:47,370
the most popular language
in the human world.
299
00:16:47,454 --> 00:16:49,663
Then why did you drop it
in the first place?
300
00:16:49,788 --> 00:16:51,873
You even wrote down specific instructions,
301
00:16:51,956 --> 00:16:54,040
so don't try telling me
this was an accident!
302
00:16:54,665 --> 00:16:56,249
You're asking me why?
303
00:16:57,041 --> 00:16:58,917
I did it 'cause I was bored.
304
00:17:00,209 --> 00:17:01,335
You were bored?
305
00:17:03,211 --> 00:17:06,337
The truth is Shinigami haven't got
much to do these days.
306
00:17:06,588 --> 00:17:09,631
Most of the time we're either taking naps
or gambling.
307
00:17:10,006 --> 00:17:12,424
If you take the time to write names
in your Death Note,
308
00:17:12,507 --> 00:17:15,134
the others just laugh at you
for working so hard.
309
00:17:15,675 --> 00:17:17,843
Even if you wrote the name
of another Shinigami,
310
00:17:17,868 --> 00:17:20,011
it'd be pointless
because they wouldn't die.
311
00:17:20,136 --> 00:17:22,304
And since we live in the Shinigami Realm,
312
00:17:22,387 --> 00:17:25,930
it brings us no amusement to kill those
in the human world either.
313
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,892
So, I figured I'd have more fun
if I came down here myself.
314
00:17:32,851 --> 00:17:36,019
Anyway, I'm surprised at how many names
you've written,
315
00:17:36,186 --> 00:17:38,020
but I wanna know why you only wrote
316
00:17:38,103 --> 00:17:40,729
the cause of death for that guy
who was hit by the truck.
317
00:17:40,896 --> 00:17:42,730
If you don't write down
the cause of death,
318
00:17:42,813 --> 00:17:44,356
the victim dies of a heart attack,
319
00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:47,983
and that's probably the best thing
about the Death Note, Ryuk.
320
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:49,192
Huh?
321
00:17:49,358 --> 00:17:52,985
You see, I've already exhausted
the list of the world's major criminals,
322
00:17:53,194 --> 00:17:55,487
and eventually,
I'm going to get rid of them all.
323
00:17:56,002 --> 00:17:57,988
What's the point of doing that?
324
00:17:58,031 --> 00:17:59,991
It's only a matter of time
before people figure out
325
00:18:00,155 --> 00:18:02,323
that these criminals
are being eliminated by someone.
326
00:18:03,157 --> 00:18:05,866
I want the world to know of my existence.
327
00:18:06,366 --> 00:18:10,160
That there's someone out there
passing righteous judgement on the wicked!
328
00:18:11,536 --> 00:18:12,870
Why even bother?
329
00:18:13,078 --> 00:18:15,871
What are you trying to achieve
by passing judgement on them.
330
00:18:16,205 --> 00:18:18,122
I mean, why do you care?
331
00:18:18,748 --> 00:18:19,831
Because…
332
00:18:20,283 --> 00:18:21,874
I've been bored too.
333
00:18:24,918 --> 00:18:26,877
I wasn't ready to believe it at first,
334
00:18:27,044 --> 00:18:28,377
but it's obvious now.
335
00:18:28,461 --> 00:18:30,253
There's something
about the Death Note itself
336
00:18:30,337 --> 00:18:32,797
that makes humans want to try it out
at least once.
337
00:18:35,410 --> 00:18:36,507
I killed them both.
338
00:18:37,006 --> 00:18:39,424
I really… I killed two men.
339
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:41,717
Those were human lives,
340
00:18:42,259 --> 00:18:43,676
it won't be overlooked.
341
00:18:44,093 --> 00:18:45,219
Besides,
342
00:18:45,385 --> 00:18:47,512
who am I to pass judgement on others?
343
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:53,139
No, no wait.
344
00:18:53,223 --> 00:18:54,389
Maybe I'm wrong.
345
00:18:54,973 --> 00:18:56,974
This is exactly
what I've been thinking about lately.
346
00:18:57,141 --> 00:18:58,600
This world is rotting,
347
00:18:58,725 --> 00:19:01,310
and those who are making it rot
deserve to die.
348
00:19:02,101 --> 00:19:04,102
Someone has to do it, so why not me?
349
00:19:04,436 --> 00:19:07,230
Even if it means sacrificing
my own mind and soul,
350
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:08,396
it's worth it.
351
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,773
Because the world...
352
00:19:10,105 --> 00:19:11,815
can't go on like this.
353
00:19:13,551 --> 00:19:14,801
I've wondered…
354
00:19:15,138 --> 00:19:16,984
what if someone else
picked up this notebook.
355
00:19:17,526 --> 00:19:19,137
Is there anyone out there, other than me,
356
00:19:19,162 --> 00:19:22,145
who would be willing
to eliminate the vermin from the world?
357
00:19:22,422 --> 00:19:23,463
If I don't do it,
358
00:19:23,487 --> 00:19:24,613
then who will?
359
00:19:24,824 --> 00:19:26,072
That's just it; there's no one,
360
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,090
but I can do it.
361
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:29,299
In fact,
362
00:19:29,557 --> 00:19:31,662
I'm the only one who can.
363
00:19:32,283 --> 00:19:33,325
I'll do it,
364
00:19:33,659 --> 00:19:34,952
using the Death Note,
365
00:19:35,076 --> 00:19:36,702
I'll change the world.
366
00:20:14,387 --> 00:20:17,347
At first, I wrote the names
of the worst criminals I could think of.
367
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:20,390
Like I was cleaning up the world,
one name at a time,
368
00:20:20,515 --> 00:20:23,975
so that eventually no one will ever
do anything evil again.
369
00:20:24,767 --> 00:20:27,768
And while the truly guilty ones who
deserve to be punished for their crimes
370
00:20:27,852 --> 00:20:29,144
die of heart attacks,
371
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:32,229
the people who are less guilty
but who still make trouble for others
372
00:20:32,312 --> 00:20:35,146
will slowly be erased
through disease and accidental death.
373
00:20:35,939 --> 00:20:37,314
Then, and only then,
374
00:20:37,398 --> 00:20:39,649
the world will start moving
in the right direction.
375
00:20:40,316 --> 00:20:43,693
It'll be a new world, free of injustice,
and populated by people
376
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:46,735
who I've judged to be honest,
kind, and hardworking.
377
00:20:47,339 --> 00:20:50,988
But if you did that, it would make you
the only bad person left.
378
00:20:51,238 --> 00:20:54,156
Huh? I have no idea
what you're talking about.
379
00:20:54,948 --> 00:20:56,615
I'm a hard-working honor student
380
00:20:56,699 --> 00:20:59,200
who is considered to be one of Japan's
best and brightest.
381
00:21:01,410 --> 00:21:02,493
And I…
382
00:21:04,244 --> 00:21:06,704
I will become the God of this New World.
383
00:21:09,914 --> 00:21:12,164
It's just as I thought,
384
00:21:12,498 --> 00:21:14,749
humans are so interesting.
