I'm really on pins and needles until I can locate a raw. As an L fan, this ep is pretty important to me, as pathetic as that sounds.
So far I've been very impressed with Kappei's performance--though I am a fan of his so maybe I'm terribly biased--but this is make it or break it time. Several of my favorite L lines are in this episode, including the one that made me into an L fan. Since this is the first time we see the face with the voice, I'm a little bit tense...
Hmmm, well, compared to last week's nailbiting episode, this was a much more subdued episode. However, by the end, you could cut the tension with a knife. Even without action, the series is still managing to up the ante and keep winding the tension even more tightly.
L's mannerisms are certainly quite interesting. It's probably because he so very, very rarely interacts with people that he acts in a relatively uninhibited manner. He doesn't seem to feel the need for decorum. I like to put my feet (unshod, of course) on my seat too (it stretches my back muscles nicely), but it's certainly not something to do in the presence of company.
And writing with permanent marker on the hotel's coffee table ... :twitch: . He's probably rolling in money - or at least I hope he can afford to pay for that.
And as for Ray's fiancee, I'll take back some of what I said about her previously. She still jumped to a conclusion too quickly in episode 5, I think, but in this episode, she has a bit more to back up her claims. The point about Ray showing his FBI ID is definitely a very strong clue that shouldn't be ignored.
I'm very impressed by how tense this episode ended up being. It wasn't the heart-racing tension of last week (which was strongly aided by the bombastic music, I'm sure), but it was certainly a much darker, more frightening sort of forboding. I can't wait to see next week's episode - and yet I'm dreading it too.
And, watching this week's episode, I realise that I've seen spoilers around here without realising it. I'd really like people who have read the manga to avoid dropping any sort of information or hint that is not yet available to anime viewers. For example,
people have referred to Ray's fiancee as Naomi, which I didn't realise was significant until she gave her name as Maki Shouko in episode 6. Which, of course, gives away what will happen in episode 7, since ...
Light will try to kill her with that name - and it won't work.
Manga readers should know better than to casually drop important information like that. So, please do take care what you write in your posts, and enclose them with spoiler tags as necessary.
Though all the complaining on 2ch had me quite worried, I liked this portrayal of L. He's a little disquieting and creepy, but those are the things I love about L to begin with. For example, his delivery on the line "seigi wa kanarazu katsu toiu koto o" was almost opposite of what I expected, but in retrospect I really liked it because it was so...strange.
I really really like Ray's fiancee. She's got a good head on her shoulders. I think this episode really hits home that Light is not only smart, but he's also been very very lucky at this point in time. His move with the FBI agents was huge risk with a lot of variables that are impossible for him to track.

oh yea its getting interesting...
the story takes us to L's HQ (hotel actually) and he deduces what kira might have been doing between the test killings and the killings of the FBI agents...
Light also notices this fact but he assumes that the bus jacking incident cannot possibly be linked to him...thats was until he met with rays fiancee...
at the end of this ep Light seems to have heard enough and will try to go in for the kill next ep...i hope she can get away >.<

The best part in this episode was when L smiled and said "The good guy always wins"... Hell YA, They did it so well :D
L fans rejoice!
The whole L part was pretty interesting. After the episode i went back to re-read the part of the manga.. and i just couldn't image L's voice in my head at all. :3
What got me most interested was the fiancee's part of the episode, and how the episode ended in that cliffhanger style way.
Of course i'm gonna cry by heart out as Naomi takes that last walk away - though seeing Light's evil reactions to getting her full name shall be something to see!

something i didnt understand;
Light cannot kill people who Light does not know their names...
Light cannot kill people of fake names...
then how did he manage to kill the man who had claimed his name was LindLTailor in eps2

It wasn't confirmed in manga but simple answer that I think: Man who died was really Lind L. Taylor.

Err... it was confirmed in the manga... I guess you meant anime instead. But you are right, Lind L. Taylor is indeed the name of the criminal that L used as his stand-in. That's why Light was able to kill him with the Death Note.

2006-11-08, 19:14
hmm interesting point...but heres a question...would the death note also have worked if the guy wasnt named Lind L. Taylor in the first place but was forced to change his name to it? ie Lind L. Taylor has become his real new name?

If you got it legally changed, I would believe that you probably could be killed using your new name. However, if it were just a case of you assuming another name (ie - your real name is John but you just started getting other people to call you Bob), it shouldn't work that way. It is something to think about though, for those people who have legally changed their names...
*Stupid question removed*
Never mind... If I remember right that way I thought it before it was pointed out in manga.
Shiroth: Please keep all manga spoilers inside the spoiler tag =(.
We should not know the real name of Ray's fiancee yet. Please go back and remove her name, and please do avoid throwing out any sort of information that anime watchers should not know at the time of the episode in discussion. From what we can see from the episode 7 preview, it is obvious that the name is a crucial plot point and should not be mentioned outside of a spoiler tag before then.

The only complaint I have with this episode is that it's too convenient for Light to meet Ray's fiancee just like that. Too much of a coincident.
Also, I don't like Ray's fiancee's VA. Her performance is subpar and too old for the character.

Meh, guess Lady Luck has a thing for Light. :heh:
With the way that things are going so far, this is what I have to say about 37 episodes
Edit by Mod (xris)
Post deleted since it's a big manga spoiler. Episode discussion threads are for discussion of the anime, not for manga spoilers
There are many reasons as to why i want to believe that.. but with how they've been somewhat rushing the story so far - you can see the end of L happening just around episode 17/18. Its just what i think~
Also, Light's face - Just what i like to see.

That doesn't really make sense. The pacing is about 4 episodes to a volume, which means that if they follow the manga directly L won't die until about episode 30.
But yeah, it would be nice if they stuck closer to the second movie ending.

Yeah you're right.. though just 'cause thats the pacing for now doesn't mean it'll last forever. I'm sure we'll be able to tell just when the anime shall end by about episode 15.

Yeah, using the 2nd movie ending would be a whole lot cooler than dragging through that long 2nd arc.
Of course,
A "bad end" would be interesting, too. :)
Loving this series so far, i havent read the manga yet, i think ill wait till after the anime has finished before i do, ep 6 was good, you have to feel it was abit more that just luck that he met Rays GF when he did.
Let me get this straight, Lights dad is not allowed to put any information about the case on his computer, so thats gonna make it much harder for Light.
This battle is awesome
Finally watched this.
Can't say I really enjoyed it. Mainly, I didn't enjoy the second half, I should say.
They stretched out the conversation between Light and Maki. Also, Light seemed a lot more charming in the anime. For instance, he didn't say, can you tell me your name, he said, "What's your name, anyway?" and immediately introduced himself as well, as if absentminded. Or perhaps that's the same line they used in the Viz translation? Anyway, the anime really fails at drawing Light's "innocent" face, so that's probably part of why he came off that way.
And the conversation was different/odd because of the small differences they'd already established in the previous episode which are involved in this whole plot. For instance,
That she found out Ray had to show his ID by putting him off guard. She didn't do that in the manga, but why would she say something like that to a relative stranger? It isn't warranted for her to describe in detail how she manipulates her husband.
The first half was also a bit drawn out, and thus seemed less suspenseful. A few minor differences, but I don't really mind them except in that they probably existed just to draw the scene out.
All of them showing their badges. L elaborating excessively on how he thinks Kira thinks. The whole Light/L dual contemplation scene. In fact, that Light is just spending so much time thinking over whether or not he made a single mistake is obviously episode padding. Oh, and if I recall correctly, L said that they should not speak until he had said everything. I could definitely be incorrect but I am too lazy to take 60 seconds to check.
So yeah, the pacing killed this episode. Anyway, people are discussing what they think this series will be able to fit in, but by now it should be clear, they will not be able to do all 108 chapters.
Episode 1 - Chapter 1 (which was 2x the ordinary # of pages)
Episode 2 & 3 - Chapter 2, 3, 4, 5
Episode 4 - Chapter 6, 7
Episode 5 - Chapter 8, 9, 10
Episode 6 - Chapter 11, 12
So it's clearly about two episodes per chapter. Usually the scene split is where one chapter ends and the next one starts. At this rate, it will end around chapter 74, which is
15 chapters after the end of the first arc, and 34 chapters before the end of the second arc (and the whole series). There are three choices: 1) they could pad it out to fit in 37 episodes, as they have clearly shown they can do, 2) perhaps just extend it and have a different end, or 3) completely trim down or abbreviate the second arc. Given that these episodes have already clearly been heavily padded, I suspect they'll just continue to trend of padding episodes; they'll be able to do it even better when more has happened that they can pad it with. Or maybe, and I don't know if this is how anime works, they will be able to extend the series before they have to plan it to end, and so they'll be able to fit in all the material.
I haven't read the manga, so I can only speculate on what will happen next. But speculations just won't hold when everyone else here has read the manga lol. Well, that is assuming the anime and manga don't differ much, but just from the posts here I gather that it is exactly that, whatever is dissimilar is quite minor.
So instead I'll comment on L and just how very strange and somewhat comical I found his introduction. I watch the stunned Kira investigators apparently gasping in awe at the amazing L and was too wondering how wicked he was going to look like lol. Rather, his posture is hunched, his motions eccentric, and his eyes especially dull, but you then realize that this is the mastermind who is perhaps the only one capable of bringing down Kira. I enjoyed it.
a question, has the manga concluded? Reply to spoiler. Thanks.
I haven't read the manga, but Ryuk's especially evil/mischevious sounding laugh that we heard after Ray's wife's "name" was revealed, was fairly suspicious. And, well Ray's wife was an ex-FBI agent after all, so...yeah, fake name.
a question, has the manga concluded? Reply to spoiler. Thanks.
I dont know if it should be consider a spoiler but, I wont take my chances...:p
Yes, the Manga Concluded at 108 Chapters
I dont know if it should be consider a spoiler but, I wont take my chances...:pThanks for filling me in. And regarding that, I just didn't want someone to accidentally post stuff that others may (most likely not, but who knows?) find spoiler. Sometimes even a minor leak may ruin that element of intrigue and mystery.
I have to add that this series is really addictive.
God, I thought the spoilers in this thread would be about ep 6. Instead I was officially spoiled by people reading the god damned manga and I now know the ending.
Burn in hell please. Thanks.
Those spoilers don't have anything to do with this episode, so just edit em out please, or at the VERY least tag them properly saying it's manga spoilers. But I rather see them removed completely. As for this ep, seems that Light isn't as smart as he thinks he is, he just has a whole bunch of dumb luck.

2006-11-11, 07:22
I have read the entire manga, but I hate seeing people who haven't be spoiled by the worst spoilers. So yeah, I suggest that manga discussions be completely forbidden and/or there should not be spoiler tags if the episode you're referring to is the current one (what would a person who has not watched it yet AND does not want to be spoiled be doing here anyway?). Or that you give ten warnings in the spoiler tags.
But anyway, I really liked this episode. Even if it was all talking, I think it has displaced the quite exciting episode 4 in my heart :D Light was pure evil in two instances: one in the screencap above, and when he said, "the one ray penbar showed his id to... is Kira." Also in this episode, logic was (relative to past episodes) in full swing; as in step-by-step deductions (by L), not something we are just told later.

Why would there be spoilers about episode 6 in an thread labeled EPISODE 6? That doesn't make much sense now does it?
As for the episode, watching made me upset and reading it made me upset. I can't believe that this former FBI agent let all this info that she learned come right out of the bag to a, civilian no less.
Now I can see why she no longer worked for the FBI. She talked to darn much.
Though good for Light. He got rid of one of the stupidest FBI agents alive last episode.
Now he can get rid of one of the most talkative as well.

OK Well I enjoyed episode 6 and after reading a bit of this thread, my only question was answered about the fiance.
I gots a new avatar.

And it doesnt make much sense posting a huge spolier about the ending in EPISODE 6 anime thread.
Damn, atleast mark manga spoilers clearly like myopius did. Seeing that spoiler destroyed alot of fun with this series.
Hehe, Ray Penber's fiance is probably the best looking thing in Deathnote next to sayu IMO <_<.
Anyway, am I the only one who finds it weird that(Discontinuity?)
(spoiler for end of EP5 and start of 6)
In the end of EP5, they were instructed to come in 2 groups to meet L, yet they all arrived together at the start of 6.
And IIRC, I don't remember the "Come in 2 groups" part when I read the manga. Or is my memory just failing me?

Well, normally, I tend to stay away from something marked 'spoiler' when I'm new to the series. Otherwise, I'm going to be spoiled. I know that when I come to a discussion thread about an episode that has already aired anything marked 'spoiler' is, obviosuly, NOT from that episode and it's best to just leave it alone. Like if I had watched up to episode 4, I tend not to go to a thread marked episode 6.
I mean, episode 7 hasn't been released yet and the manga's done. They put the spoiler in the spoiler marks. I mean, what more can be done?
Though I still think that GIRL is still the most incompetant FBI agent of all time, right behind Raye. I've never known ANY detective to duiscuss the details of the case with someone who wasn't a coworker, another detective, and/or someone they were very close to.
Maybe unless they were talking to the suspect in trying to get a confession out of them.
Why would there be spoilers about episode 6 in an thread labeled EPISODE 6? That doesn't make much sense now does it?
No, unfortunately it's very possible for it to happen.
People don't understand that the episode topic is allowed to have spoilers from the episode (for whatever reason). Often, before the episode is subbed, people discuss it within spoiler tags. Even after it's subbed, there are often one or two people who put their discussion of that particular episode in spoiler tags, even though they see others not doing it. Often such people use an unlabeled spoiler tag for such purposes. Many times I've opened up unlabeled spoiler tags to find spoilers for just the episode about which the topic it's posted in is about. Perhaps that's because people think that when it's unlabeled, it just means that you can assume it's about the episode itself as a default. Many people probably don't understand that people want to read about what others say about the episode, want to talk about the episode, because they really enjoyed the episode, and that enjoyment is enough for them to give unlabeled spoiler tags the benefit of the doubt, since usually people label it when it's major. But when people don't label a major spoiler, then something like what happened to vhx occurs.
"What more can be done?" Well, you could call Naomi Raye's fiance, or Maki, or Shouko, or put that whole sentence in a spoiler tag. There's at least one person (djc89) who hasn't already been spoiled to her name by people, though it's hard to believe since this has been messed up constantly. =P No offense, since it's a common mistake and maybe you've seen others doing it, but... x.x

Winner. :D
And yes, I was checking to see other people's thoughts on the episode since it was episode 6 DISCUSSION. Not Death Note discussion, Death Note ending, or Death Note Manga discussion. One of my favorite anime's this year too, spoiled. /sigh
As far as this episode goes, was surprised Ray's fiancee told Light her thoughts. I guess she thought safe being that Light's father being the head of the investigation. This could of been the end of him if he didn't catch her at the department. Can't wait to see how he handles this.
I just don't get it ... why is the same mistake made over and over, when it should be obvious to manga readers that this is a significant spoiler?
Can you please remove Ray's fiancee's name from one of your posts?
The title said it all. A loophole on what appeared to be for the moment in Light's most heinous accomplishment.
The tension was just keeping me at the edge of my seat, watching how naively Maki Shouko fell for Light's politeness. However, I do find it slightly difficult to believe that even with such a courtesy Maki blindly warmed up to Light's support.
If I was in her place, I would have held some reservations and kept my suspicions straighten up if out of a sudden a gentle stranger, who I have never met before, approaches me to intrude on the Kira's case.
What would be poignant I believe if L or the other five detectives could be able to find out among the FBI agents, that Ray Penbar had a connection with Maki in Japan, but unfortunately, she's signed up literally into Light's Death Note.
The archetype example that the book should not be judged by the cover.
L looks very ghastly, and my daresay a bit of dirty, but his mind proved the otherwise to inspector Souichirou, who now trusts L.
I do agree with L, that he and Kira/Light are on the same boat. He acknowledges to be quite immature despite his intellect and laid back demeanor, but also it gives him the advantage to understand the psyche about his nemesis.
To predict a possible scenario for each movement that Kira perpetrates, that's how L understood what Kira meant with those experimental killings for research in order to measure his killing power and set up the trap of the FBI agents.

When Ray wrote down the names of the other FBI agents on the death note paper, when instructed by Light, why didn't they all die 40 seconds afterwards? Did I miss something?

Remember what Light had said about how you can put the cause of death before you write the victim's name? He had already filled out the sheet of paper with causes of deaths, then stuck another sheet on top of it, leaving blank boxes for Ray to fill out.

I see, thank you musouka, wow, that's quite a clever idea. That's one of the things I like about this series :D
also in order to kill somebody, Light have to use the exact kanji in his death note or romanji could also work?
It seems there are a number of people postng manga spoilers in the anime episode discussion thread. Even when they are posted in spoiler tags, it's still causing a lot of problems for the anime-only watchers.
Due to this, we will need to implement a No Manga Spoilers policy in the episode discussion threads.
Please be considerate of the anime-only watcher and do not post any sort of manga spoiler or manga refenece in these threads, you may not even post them in spoiler tags!
If you need to in reply to someone with a reference to the manga, either PM them or continue the discussion in the Death Note Manga (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=15931) thread.

i finally got a chance to watch ep 6 I was not surprised by the apprence of L. IT made sense to me his personality and how eccentric he is he could not be a normal looking person. However he display the intellgience that makes him L. I notice some discrpcies i thought L told the police to come in 2 groups and to arrive a certain amout of time apart from one another. can some clarify for me?
Penbars fiancee was very intresting but not in a good way. I am very surprised that she devluged some information to someone she doesnt even know about about the Kira case i dont care if he is the police chiefs son. But Light did learn that was a hole in his plan that could be exploited and she did. From the preview it looks like hes going to get rid of her. However i am convinced that she did not give her real name. She still has that FBI training and after learning that Penbar was forced to show his badge to someone on the bus i dont think she would make that kind of mistake. Also assuming that she did give the wrong name it wouldnt be so easy for Light to find out her name. Being a former FBI agent he files are locked from the general public and how many people could have known that Penbar was engadged and what her name is.
Light also couldnt make up an excuse to get her name then kill her it would point the finger to close to him. Over all a very good episode im usually a big spoiler reader but i refuse to read any for deathnote i want to take it all in as it comes.
Im intrested to see the reaction Light has to the plan the L and the 5 police officers came up with something like 1 000 special agents have entered the country to search for Kira because of the deaths of the 12 FBI agents. This may be a good way to declare Kira an enemy of the world
That doesn't really make sense. The pacing is about 4 episodes to a volume, which means that if they follow the manga directly * **** *** until about episode 30.
But yeah, it would be nice if they stuck closer to the second movie ending.
thanks alot you fricken ruined the whole series.Learn to lable your spoilers!

Glad to see some Raito..........fans ? If we can say it that way...
I just saw the very first pages of the manga (about 10-15 pages). I couldn't believe Raito was such a smiling character :twitch:
Heck, he has to be a dark, cold, etc character, otherwise...
Anyway, first impression on L : I don't like dirty people, especially the ones with dandruff in hair. And hell, I just sit like him on my chair...
Except that, I don't see any difference between L and Raito personality : the first one is a closet sociopath, the second one melts artificially with people, for the sake of learning from them and then considering he's the best trash...
More of it please.

I did not like this episode very much, mostly because kira behaved in a totally contrived way. Cant' name very many details, but most importantly the meeting between him and the girl in the police station was so fake...

That doesn't really make sense. The pacing is about 4 episodes to a volume, which means that if they follow the manga directly L won't die until about episode 30.
But yeah, it would be nice if they stuck closer to the second movie ending.
Im a manga reader, but if I wasnt I would be pissed. Try to keep things like this listed as "Big Manga Spoiler" not just "spoiler".
Im really curious to know the whole depth meaning of the red and blue, like how in the end...
Is it some sort of symbol, like red is evil while blue is good?
difference? easy...L is good Light is bad...thats all there is too it :p
damit that pic scares me...hes got death written all over his face :heh:
L has some funny habits...the way he holds stuff is retarded :p but still good>bad
Here's what I have to say to that: If blue was good, and red was evil, and it was all color themed and what not, wouldn't Light have a different name? Even if this was just an anime addition meant to add something while not considering it's potential to inflict some damage in terms of perception upon the series, different colors would have probably been chosen. I mean, red and blue? Red can be portrayed as the color of love, while blue can be portrayed as icy and cold. If they really wanted to use color changes to signify this, and Light was meant to be portrayed as evil, I think they'd make his opponents white and him black. Or something to that effect. End point for me, even if the red does give him a creepy look, blue can give a creepy, emotionless look that can chill just as much.
As for the way L holds stuff, I've thought of somethin' on that. He seems to hold things in such a way that would reduce the number of fingerprints he leaves behind. It seems entirely in character to me for L to be constantly making sure no traces of his identity are left anywhere under his control.
