He's alive!

So you're Kira?

If only I knew his name...

Prepare yourself!

His name!

A heart attack...

Just what's going on here?

I guess they'll show themselves soon enough.

The second Kira.

The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.

The human who touches the Death Note can

recognize the image and voice of its original owner,

a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note.

What are you planning, Kira?

I hear there are 12.

I did as you asked.

I have the file.

That's the point where FBI investigator Mark Dwellton,

aka. Raye Penber's transceiver was removed.

Kira must have realized he had it.

Kira did?

According to the FBI's information

the first one who requested the file with the list of faces

and names of the investigators was Henneth Belle.

The file was immediately sent from Henneth to Mark.

Then after that, all of the investigators contacted FBI Headquarters,

FBI Headquarters

received the same file, and died of heart attacks.

So Kira threatened Mark Dwellton to get the file and manipulated all the others

to sow uncertainty in the investigation.

And as L guessed, Kira is one of the people whom the FBI investigators were tailing.

What's wrong with him?

His allies were killed.

It's natural that he'd be depressed.

Arrested Man Acknowledges Involvement in Potassium Cyanide Poisoning Incidents

I'm going to write deaths up to a week in advance.

Then even if something happens to me,

Kira's judgments will continue.

Things worked out this time,

but Raye Penber found out who I was.

What is this?

Just how are you killing people?

Even the slightest slip-up

could cost me my life.

Considering that Kira had contact with one of the investigators,

he must have been feeling somewhat cornered.

L, what's the new direction of our investigation?

Wait a little while longer.

We'll avenge the FBI ourselves.

No.

I'm setting it up now.

Setting it up?

Did L order some takeout?

But L only drinks that stuff.

What's in that stuff, anyway?

While I'm out, I'll find a way to see if anyone's been inside.

There might be a human with a Death Note besides me.

A heart attack...

Just what's going on here?

A second Kira.

Cute!

That's perfect!

So cute!

Looking good, Misa-chan!

Your eyes are enchanting!

Shinogawa Nobuhiko

Very nice.

We're with you for life.

Please take care of our Ichigo Berry.

Leave it to me!

He said, "We're with you for life,"

but that cameraman only has a year left.

Now, everyone.

Please handle the setup.

The second Kira.

Is he my ally?

Then why didn't he introduce himself to me?

Because he didn't want me to see his face?

Hey, there!

Hey.

Who's that?

Could it be... someone I know?

You don't know?

Or... someone famous whose name is well-known?

Yagami-kun. Do you know him?

Ryuga Hideki.

Yeah, he's an idol, right?

No way.

Amazing!

This is great!

So cute!

This is great!

Isn't it?

It's very difficult.

I prepared something sweet, if you like...

Let's eat!

It's exhausting for a human to use the shinigami eyes, isn't it?

You'll get used to it soon enough.

I found out Kira's identity, though.

I don't need these eyes anymore.

Did you throw away half of your remaining lifespan just to find Kira?

That's right! Just to meet Kira.

Forget about meeting him.

Your name and face are known by everyone.

He'll kill you.

No, he won't!

Listen, Misa.

Those who come to possess a Death Note grow paranoid.

Rem...

If you understand, then use the Death Note for yourself.

What does "paranoid" mean?

You know, you're really...

Hey, wait a minute. Tell me!

I'm sorry for the wait.

How are the preparations?

Perfect.

Before Mark Dwellton was killed

he said a picture of his fianc�e was seen.

A picture?

I didn't get a chance to ask him who saw it,

but I thought it was probably Kira.

So I put a transceiver on Mark Dwellton. It seems my choice was correct.

Then you used him as bait?

I did it to catch Kira. I didn't have a choice.

Didn't have a choice?!

Watari.

I'll bring a new one.

I will now talk about what you've been waiting for,

the new direction of the investigation.

Kira must be one of the targets Mark Dwellton was asked to tail.

There were 55 of them from thirteen households.

That's a lot.

No, I thought you'd narrowed it down before they were killed.

Yes. To a mere two families.

You narrowed it down that much?

Watari. Show it to them.

What is this?

I've had surveillance cameras and listening devices installed in

I'm home.

those two households.

Surveillance cameras?

I thought you were depressed!

One is Chief Superintendent Goda's house.

The other is...

Light-kun!

That's right.

Yagami-san's house.

Login Yagami Light

What is the point of this?

To capture the ultimate mystery of Kira:

what happens in the moment when he kills.

That's why I'm going to watch.

To listen.

To reveal...

Who Kira is, and how he kills.

Just what did he set up here?

Cameras?

Listening devices?

Or maybe... both?

You need to stop this at once!

There must be other ways of investigating!

Are you going to start an inquiry?

Exposing your name and face to Kira?

This is a human rights violation.

This would cost us more than our jobs.

I thought we were risking our lives for this investigation, not our jobs.

I know, but...

Other methods up until now haven't worked on Kira.

Matsuda. Let's go take down those cameras.

Right.

Wait.

It's clear that L has Kira on the ropes.

Let him do it.

Chief...

Thank you.

In exchange, make sure you don't miss any corner of their rooms.

I want to confirm the innocence of my family's and the Chief Superintendent's.

Then, in the interests of the bare minimum of discretion,

when it comes to checking the women's rooms or when they use the toilet or the bath

I'll let Himura-san handle the checking.

Himura-san.

Right.

Otherwise, we'll monitor them 24/7 on continuous rotation.

Please work with us, everyone.

Yes, sir.

So, he's watching you, huh?

L's the only one who would do that.

It's probably not just cameras. He's set up listening devices, too.

How do you know that?

I rigged my door.

The paper I stuck in the door was actually a fake.

I could tell from the angle of the door handle if someone entered my room.

When you shut that door, the door handle naturally returns to a horizontal position.

Even though I lowered it slightly before I left,

it had returned to its natural position at the top.

Before return

After return

Someone must have gone in there,

but the paper was returned to its original place.

That means it was a pro, not someone from my family.

I can get by for a week with what I already wrote in the note.

Then, assuming I can write five on this piece of the Death Note I cut out,

I can last ten days.

If the surveillance goes on any longer than that...

You're out!

But forget that for now and gimme some apples!

Huh? Can I?

Don't mind if I? Hey, gimme a break!

How come?!

Hey, Ryuk.

What would happen if you ate an apple in that room?

It wouldn't show up on the camera if I put it in my mouth!

Which means that, when you're carrying the apple, it seems to be floating in the air.

Well, yeah, I guess.

You'll have to hold off until the cameras are gone.

Give me a break!

If you really want to eat them,

you'll just have to find out where all the cameras are,

since the cameras can't see you.

I'm not on your side or L's.

So?

But... living without apples would be hard.

And not getting to talk to you would be even harder!

Thanks. Let's go, then.

It's a treasure hunt.

Light!

Things are getting interesting again!

Here you are.

Thanks!

Here you are.

And one for you.

How long will the monitoring continue?

Good question.

Two weeks should be sufficient.

Two weeks?

Have you got a suspect for Kira?

No. No bias.

Please monitor them all equally.

So even Light-kun reads magazines like that...

Matsuda!

That's not bias.

Every man reads dirty magazines.

The Chief is right there!

I'm sorry, sir!

I'm back!

Sayu-san's come back.

Is the Goda family watching TV?

Yeah. While everyone except the Superintendent is eating.

Watari. Get it ready.

Yes, sir.

You have something else set up?

I want to give both houses a little nudge.

I went here with Nana. It's delicious.

Oh?

An urgent report from NNV News.

The ICPO has decided to send 1500 investigators to Japan for the Kira investigation.

1500 investigators on the Kira investigation?

1500? That's a lot.

You can't be serious. That many to Japan?

Is he watching me here, too?

Could this news be...

How's the Goda family?

No reaction.

They're drinking tea, not showing any interest.

No, it's black tea.

It's still tea.

Is this a fake so he can see my reaction?

What's wrong?

But don't you think they should be more secretive about this stuff?

They're basically telling Kira all about it.

That's true.

Of course,

they might be intending to scare Kira by making a big announcement about it.

It's so obvious.

Yagami-san's son is smarter than I thought.

Is that a reason to suspect him?

No. But if he had no interest in Kira

he would ignore it like the Goda family did.

Chief. A thief announced on the news this morning

Kira Case Update no. 128 From Metropolitan Police Department Emergency Updates To whom it may concern: A new incident has occurred. Fukamiri Toshiyuki, whose involvement in robbery and murder was announced at 7 AM today, was found dead in Tokyo Prison today at 7 PM. From the fact that he complained of chest pains at the time of his death, we have inferred that the cause was a heart attack. Please investigate this as the work of Kira. Metropolitan Police Department Investigation Support Center Kira Case Report Head Odawa Tatsumi

died of a heart attack about an hour ago.

One hour ago?

We were monitoring them then.

That means...

Kira can manipulate the time of death.

He may have arranged something before we set up the cameras.

Yeah, that's true...

So what's the point of doing this?

Is there any?

They're out of the house during the day.

There are lots of ways to get information outside.

The information they get outside doesn't matter.

What matters is

whether or not criminals die who were announced

when the monitoring targets are at home

and also without access to their information.

That's my standard for identifying Kira.

Not even Kira can purge criminals he doesn't know about, right?

Light! There're 64 cameras set up!

So it was L.

He knows no limits.

Even a shinigami gets tired after all that work!

Where're my apples?

Hey. Apples!

How far has he narrowed the suspects down? If he's watching me like this...

Then I haven't lessened their suspicion of me at all.

Be careful.

If I make one wrong move, he'll find me out...

Move?

That's right...

I might be able to solve this problem.

Eh?

Here. Vitamins and iron pills.

Chief. L.

I'll switch with you, so please take a break.

Oh?

Go ahead.

He said he considers them equal, but he's only watching Light-kun.

Hasn't L found Kira yet?

I can't talk about details,

but he's close.

Do your best.

You're the only ones we can count on.

What do you mean?

The truth is, there's something we need to tell you.

I know this isn't appropriate to talk about in class,

but I want to be on that level.

Even while I'm job-hunting

I'm not going to hide the fact that I'm a Misa-Misa fan. That's my policy.

L knows that Kira's information sources are TV and the net.

Which means that if a criminal is erased

during a time when I couldn't have gotten information on them,

it will prove that I'm innocent.

What do I do, Light?

Why don't you join the public service too, Kamoda?

A public servant?

But how do I do it?

One hour after the fire started...

The case squad has been scaled back?

Since the FBI has backed off the Kira investigation,

the Japanese case squad has has lost its nerve.

You think that's because of public opinion?

What do you mean, public opinion?

Ever since Kira appeared, rates of crimes like violent robbery have plummeted.

Oh, that's not to say that they approve of Kira?

Anyway, let's continue our own observation.

Right!

I'm back.

Huh? Is dad still out?

I can't even remember what he looks like anymore.

Want some? They're Consomm� flavor.

Potato Chips Consomm� Flavor

No, thanks. They'll make me fat.

I see.

Are you watching, L?

Watch me very carefully...

Ever since your son came home,

he hasn't used his computer or TV. He's just been studying the whole time.

Probably cramming before the public service exam.

Chief!

Is it Kira?

Yes.

A banker suspected of embezzlement who was first announced

on the 8 PM news, during his interrogation,

and a purse-snatcher, while he was in his cell.

It seems they both died of heart attacks.

That's one hour ago.

Mogi-san.

At that time, Goda's wife, son, and daughter

were watching a variety program together.

Himura-san?

I've confirmed that Sayu-san was in the bath then.

Light-kun has been doing nothing but studying since way before eight!

Yes! They're all innocent!

How?

There are 64 surveillance cameras in this room.

By having Ryuk tell me the locations of the cameras

and making preparations beforehand,

I can appear to be a college student studying

while using the Death Note to pass judgment

on criminals being announced right now.

Deaths thought to be the work of Kira

Well, L?

The way I've set it up, you can't see it with the cameras above me or to the side.

The cameras from behind will show nothing but my back.

Now I can pass judgment on criminals I have no way of knowing about.

In other words, my alibi...

is you yourself, L.

Kira is creating a peaceful world without crime.

I won't be caught.

We've watched it over and over again. They're all innocent.

There are still nine days left in our observation.

Is there any point in doing this?

The killings took place when they couldn't have gotten the information!

There are still nine days left.

You said our previous methods won't work on Kira, but you're the same way!

Let's have everyone go home and rest for a while.

Is that all right?

Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

How about a drink? It's been too long!

Matsuda, good thinking!

Right?

Mogi-san, let's go to that bar.

Let's go! Let's go!

Hey, L.

Why are you so fixated on Light?

No, I'm not biased towards him.

It doesn't look that way to me.

Yagami-san.

What do you think of Kira?

What?

I find him sad.

If he wanted to protect innocent people, there are other ways he could have done it.

Maybe Kira

had no choice but to kill in order to protect someone.

Live - Spree Killing Suspect Holed Up With Hostages

It looks like they're bringing the hostages out!

Two months ago, you were taken hostage in a standoff.

The perpetrator, Otoharada,

died of a heart attack, didn't he?

The Kira incidents began occurring nearly simultaneously

in countries all over the world.

After that, they began to focus on Japan.

But I believe that the very first incident

was this incident.

I've feel like this was where Kira was born.

For a long time...

Staying on the defensive won't get me any progress.

I need to ask Dad about how the investigation's coming.

Huh?

I was just about to bring you a change of clothes.

Really? I came to get some.

Then here. Take them.

Dad came home. That means... the surveillance is over?

What is it?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

You haven't caught Kira yet?

I guess you couldn't tell me about it anyway.

Some people view Kira as a savior.

It seems like it. I don't know much about it, myself.

Kira is evil.

But lately I've been thinking...

What's really evil is the ability to kill.

Whoever ended up with that power is cursed.

No matter how they use it, any peace they create through killing is not true peace.

What do you think about it?

Dunno.

It's too far away from me. I don't have a clue.

I see.

Kira's murders occurred even when the surveillance cameras were on him.

Even if he can kill people simply by wishing for it,

any flesh and blood person would display some change in behavior and expression.

Yagami Light is not Kira.

L, you have a call from Near.

I'll call them back.

He says he'll call you back.

Watari. I'm heading out tomorrow.

My, my!

Remove all surveillance cameras that might catch an image of me.

Another willful re...

Yes, sir.

He's disrespecting you!

Calm down.

Hey, call Kira!

We can work with Kira to erase L!

We can't do that.

Help him out.

No.

You're so stuck-up, Near!

You talk too much, Mello.

Dummy! Dummy!

Suginami University of Economics

So idols like this are popular in Japan now?

Yeah! He's really popular!

He's #1 right now.

That's quite interesting.

Yagami-kun!

Who's that?

An exchange student from Darlington University, he says.

Oh?

Yagami Light-san.

You are Kira, aren't you?

Yagami Light-san...

I'm L.

L? Cool.

So are you fighting Kira?

Yes.

Is he... the real L?

Hey, how do you know Yagami-kun?

We talked on the phone once, didn't we?

Have some.

Potato Chips Consomm� Flavor

Yagami-san, would you like to play tennis with me?

You played it in high school, didn't you?

I read it in your file.

Then he really is...

I had no idea. Are you good at tennis?

N-No, I'm not especially good...

Let's do it.

Sorry. I have class, and I don't know you very well.

Then if you win, I'll tell you my name.

His name?

In exchange, if I win,

please grant me a favor.

Is he serious?

Hey c'mon, do it! I wanna know his name, too.

No, I really don't...

It's only a game.

C'mon, it's just tennis!

Let's go!

H-Hey, wait!

What am I doing?

I got completely swept up in it...

First to six wins. Does that work for you?

Sure.

Does he intend to profile me with a game of tennis?

It may be a game, but a contest is a contest.

15-love.

He shows no mercy. That does seem like L...

But if he's the real thing, he wouldn't show himself to people.

Even more so if he suspects me of being Kira.

30-love.

He served already?

Let's keep it going.

If you are Kira, that's the most pressure I should expect from you.

Yagami-kun, you'd better get serious or you'll lose.

If it's really him, he must be plotting something.

You must be thinking that by intentionally showing my face,

I'm preparing to take further action against you.

If you're the real L...

But you want to know my name. Don't you, Kira?

If I win, will you suspect me of being Kira even more?

What will you do?

Will you win? Will you lose?

No. Even if I lose, you'll suspect me...

Either way, I'll expose you.

What's the favor he wants from me?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm going to find out who you are and how you kill.

Whether he's the real thing or a fake...

I won't let him have his way!

I won't let you have your way.

I'll erase you, L!

Game set. Yagami-kun wins 6-4.

I see you're the type that gets rather passionate.

That's not unusual.

Is this what you were like during the TV broadcast, too?

But more importantly...

Do you want to know my name?

He's not just going to call himself L.

My name is

Ryuga Hideki.

It's written "A tree that flows fast along the river."

Ryuga Hideki.

But that name is...

Coincidentally, it just happens to be the same name as a famous idol.

Ryuga Hideki? Don't be ridiculous!

He's using an obviously fake name.

I know what the idol looks like,

so if I write "Ryuga Hideki" in the Death Note,

the idol could be the one that dies.

In other words...

I can't do anything to him.

I'm still alive. You know?

That's always good.

Light-kun. Oh, I'm sorry...

If I called you "Yagami-san," it would be the same as what I call your father.

That's okay. Call me whatever you want.

Then how about Kira?

It's a joke.

I wanted to meet you to see what a good person you were.

Now I've seen it.

Thanks.

But the truth is,

I still suspect you of being Kira.

Sorry, but I'm not Kira.

Aren't you?

That reminds me. The favor he wanted...

Be my friend.

That's the favor I wanted.

I'm going home now.

See you soon.

He got you that time.

Ryuk.

Yes?

The power I got from picking up the Note...

I don't view it as a curse.

Whoever ended up with that power is cursed.

I think Kira, who was born by acquiring this power,

is the most blessed person in the world.

I'm creating a new world.

The question of whether picking up the Death Note means you're blessed or cursed,

that kinda thing is beyond me.

But...

Ordinarily, they say being possessed by a shinigami would be a curse.

Then I guess what you're going to see is something out of the ordinary.

Glad to hear it.

Public Prosecutor's Office

Kira Incident Assumed Victim List

Murder Murder Robbery & Murder Bodily Injury Resulting in Death Murder Murder Murder Robbery & Murder Bodily Injury Resulting in Death Murder Murder Murder

Heart Attack

You're looking back over the Kira incidents.

Why?

No particular reason...

Died of a Heart Attack on the Day of Parole

Inmate Nishida Kyu Another possible Kira incident

Hello? This is Aizawa.

The victim is Nusumi Yonegoro, age 36.

The cause of death is a heart attack.

Looks like he was a peeping tom.

The camera he was carrying contains photos proving it.

Understood.

After I confirm it, I'll head back there.

I see. Understood.

Welcome back.

Kira again?

L, where have you been?

Kira's killing targets A number of perpetrators of minor crimes have died

Groping. Shoplifting.

The cause of death in all cases was a heart attack

but it seems like Kira's suddenly lowered his standard of crimes for some reason.

So he's just a murderer, huh?

Now for our next story. In the plaza in front of Minami-Shinagawa station,

a known peeper Nusumi Yonegoro died of a heart attack.

Peeping Tom/Shoplifter Dies Kira is targeting even misdemeanor offenders

Around the same time...

I don't recall writing a name like that.

He collapsed, and was taken to a hospital.

The cause of death was declared to be a heart attack.

What's the point of this?

I want Kira to trust me.

You said it, didn't you Rem?

That he'd be paranoid?

Misa...

If I want to reassure Kira,

then doing the same thing he does

is the best way, right?

Do you intend to go and meet him?

I sure do!

That's strange.

What's strange?

Their names and faces were never announced.

What?

I thought Kira was getting his information from the TV and the internet.

That's why these incidents are strange.

They're all criminals whose names and faces aren't known to the world.

The Metropolitan Police Department's case squad received a threatening letter from Kira!

A threatening letter?

Here's a copy of it.

Only the Metropolitan Police Department received it?

It seems the same thing was sent to the mass media.

Watari, turn on the TV.

Yes, sir.

The first thing we want our viewers to understand is that

what we are broadcasting is genuine.

A message to the world from Kira.

The threatening letter from someone calling themself "Kira"

offered predictions for the day and times of death

for Hioki Hatanosuke and Kawashima Sorao who were arrested several days before.

And then, as predicted,

both died of heart attacks last night at 7:00.

Dead Hiyoki Hatanosuke

Dead Kawashima Sorao

Only Kira could have done this.

Therefore, we chose to broadcast it, under the determination that this letter

was sent by Kira.

It's not me.

The second Kira is talking to me.

"I am Kira."

"I do not kill innocent people."

"I hate evil and love justice."

"I think of the police as my allies, not my enemies."

This isn't necessary! You're calling too much attention to yourself!

Is this guy stupid or something?

"I wish to create a world without evil."

"I can do this very easily if you want me to."

"Innocent people won't die as long as you don't try to catch me."

Kira...

"The police and mass media should work with me to create a new world."

"Please answer me with a yes or no."

"If the answer is yes, then capture more criminals and announce them."

"We should crack down as much as possible

on those who hurt others and abuse the weak, even through minor crimes."

"Then as proof that the police are working with me,

you should put some important people in the police, as well as L, on TV

and swear to assist Kira."

"I'll give you four days to respond."

Put L on TV?

According to the information we've just received...

The case squad is going to hold an emergency press conference!

Tell them not to. They'll be killed by Kira.

They say they're going to do it with false names to be safe.

False names won't help.

We're going to switch to the broadcast of the police's emergency press conference.

What are you talking about, L?

Metropolitan Police Department

We're sorry for the wait.

We'd like to give the Metropolitan Police Department's official response

Metropolitan Police Department Chief Superintendent Furuzawa Seiya

Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Investigation Bureau 1st Division Superintendent Okuda Satoshi

to the broadcast of Kira's threatening letter.

If this is the same person who committed those crimes,

there's a chance that this Kira can kill people with just their face.

Just their face?

Yes. The police cannot cooperate with Kira.

We ask that the mass media cease encouraging Kira.

Ogiso Takeshi

Using a fake name won't help you.

Ogiso Takeshi

We will show no mercy to Kira. Absol?

What's wrong?

Hey! Speak to me!

Call an ambulance! Speak to me!

What's going on?

What's wrong? Hey!

Technical Difficulties

The superintendent...

Don't go.

I sympathize, but you must remain calm.

If Kira can kill people just by looking at them,

if you go there, you'll suffer the same fate.

But...

Sayu?

Dad, are you okay?

I'm watching TV now...

Don't you see now, L?

Everyone here is innocent!

Let's remove the cameras.

There are eight days left.

L!

He's here.

Dad says he's okay.

I see. Glad to hear it.

Yes?

Hello!

Coming!

Misa-Misa?

Misa-Misa?

What are you doing here?

Oni-chan, do you know her?

No...

I need to talk to Yagami-san.

To me?

Come on in! My brother's room is on the second floor.

Hey!

Come on, get her some slippers.

I'll go make some coffee!

Thanks!

Anyway... here.

What color is yours?

Mine's red.

Red?

Red? What?

I hear that most of them are black,

but what's yours?

Black?

Coming in!

Oh, no. The surveillance cameras!

L is watching us here.

A war between the police and Kira and the second Kira.

I'll be your eyes. Let's erase L together.

L, I've won.

Kira's started to go on a rampage.

The performance is over.

I arrested her on suspicion of being the second Kira.

What's going on?
