I wonder if Light would be so cruel as to DN his own sister. If he does do this, it would be tantamount to giving Mello a huge hint of who kira is.
I wonder how this would play out ...

Episode 28 Screencaps and Summary (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2007/04/24/death-note-28/)
I thought this was a really good episode, though that may be a factor of this episode being the first one that covers manga material I haven't read. They built up the tension really well and had some great scenes (like the one where the SPK members died), though I like Light less and less as these episodes go on - partly because he seems almost inept now and partly because he treats Misa so poorly.

Interesting episode... Animation/voices really make a difference, I think I am enjoying this arc more than the manga version so far.
They certainly shifted some things around, but I think it worked.
The dice scene was especially well done.

^^^ use spoiler tags plz.
Great episode overall.
From the preview of the next episode.. it seems alot of the manga will be cut in the next episode...does anyone else think so?
I think that N has figured it out that the second L is the original Kira.
I like the way they show that N may be smarter and better than L. N stacks items in a neat and orderly structure. Where L used to be more haphazard.
We don't know what data N may have from the orginal L. We know that L set it up to tell people that he had died, he could also have sent his notes. That information would lead N directly to Kira/Light.
If the SPX had been more like CTU from 24, they would have just bombed the exchange point.
****NEW THOUGHT ****
If M has the DN that Rem was carrying when he died, does this mean that there isnt' a Shinigami 'attached' to that note? In other words, can a holder of the note get the Eyes if there is no Shinigami for that note? Plus they wouldn't have a shinigami around them.
Just a thought.

holy crap...this just went from epix to legendary! O.o so after L's death the game is still on...mello now has the upperhand and gains the deathnote and uses it ruthlessly...he destroys most of the SPK team causing near to feel a bit of defeat tho he kept his cool and asked again for Light's cooperation...i really liked how the falling dice symbolized it all ~ it was really well thought out...
now im hyped...cant wait for the next ep :D
I think next thing Melo is going to do is to test the 13 days rule. If they find out it's a fake rule, and if they have some of the information L had, maybe that will led him to Light..... however, I'm pretty sure Light deleted all of L's information....

I still think L is still better, L didnt expect Kira will use death god to kill him, or else Raito might be got caught , Near and mello cant beat L, but if they both work togther they may have a chance to catch Kira.
L is dead but Death Note is as exciting as ever, I honestly didn't expect that. Chibi-L (aka N) is still kinda pissing me off but I think I'll get used to him.
Now what exactly does N intend to do with the note...? I didn't see that as clearly as N obviously did. :D

well if L had foreseen it then im pretty sure he would have sent the info and data to the orphanage back in england at the time when watari died...otherwise how did those guys know about the deathnote in the first place?

Mello and Near had more than three year lead time to dig out the information. If L had sent the info to them, we probably would not have had a four year leap before M/N gets near to Light ..

heck if L didnt figure things out until he actually got his hands on the deathnote im not convinced that guys with less experience that just simply "dig" that type of info up without any help ~ imo the time lag was just to let Near mature a bit more before taking action...at that time he just seemed too young and inexperienced ~

That could be true but I don't think Near or Mello know much about the properties of the DN, only that the Japanese investigators have a DN in their hands. Also did not the highest authorities of each country know about its existence? L was trying to get permission from them to use the DN before he got DNed. Hopefully, they clear things up a little in the upcoming episodes.

Some of the answers to those things have been skipped over in the anime. Near uncovered the existence of the Death Note through his own investigating. Most of the direct knowledge he has was obtained by talking to the Japanese police officers at the scene of the Higuchi arrest. And Mello knows everything that Near knows because he has a spy in the SPK. Read the manga if you want the whole story.

Light's problems just keep coming, now it looks like he has to deal with another shinigami! Killing L sure hasn't made his life easier... I'm actually starting to feel a little sorry for him for the first time in the series, his situation is looking that bad.
Anyway, there's one thing that's bugging me about 28 - Why didn't Mello kill Near along with everyone else? I'm assuming Near is his real name.
N and M are very dangerous, even more so with both of them trying to catch Kira separately. Light's going to have to start hoping N and M take each other out before they find his identity, it isn't looking good with caught in the middle of two other geniuses...

I'm confused by how L insisted on using the first initial of what turned out to be his real name.
L = ?? <removed by mod>
M = Mello
N = Near
I thought the other two were going to follow the same pattern as L. I did think it strange how we were told what I assumed were their real names straight away during the very first scene with them in, very different from how secretive everything was (and still is!) over L's real name.

The name isn't revealed during the actual story, so revealing his real name is spoiling absolutely nothing. I would not have posted it if telling you L's real name would spoil any future events - I know for a fact after just double checking with a friend who read the manga it doesn't. L's gone (are you going to tell me pointing out the obvious is spoiling next?), his name now only has meaning to people curious enough to want to know his real name.
Here's some information about where L's name came from:
"Now anyone who's a Death Note fan (and EVERYONE should be) would know that Death Note ended XXX at Volume 12. Not only that, EVERYONE should also know that the Volume 13 which came out last Friday (I know I bought it a week late... shamed am I!!!) includes interviews, character guides, blah blah and blah blah but most importantly it comes with L's name. L'S REAL NAME!!! THE NAME THAT NO ONE EXCEPT THAT SHINIGAMI REM KNOWS!!!"
People on this forum really are pampered. I bet you'd be screaming for me to be banned if I posted a manga scan that the anime team skipped!

While L's name has not been revealed in the manga or yet in the anime, it is always in consideration to hide it because Madhouse might reveal L's name in a future episode.

Why would they add the name of a dead character? They're currently cutting out lots of manga material in order to make the series fit into 37 episodes.
Sigh, Maes, just apologise.
I'm a bit pissed off at the spoilers too.
The more I see of Near, the more I like him. But, then again, he's so much like L that he's been easing my grief pangs :heh:
OTOH, I really don't like Mello at all. He's too amoral, much like Misa.
I don't think Light's going to come out of this arc very well. Am dying also to see what the new shinigami does :D
I'm a bit pissed off at the spoilers too.
Ditto! When someone dumped the "after L's death" spoiler a few weeks ago, I nearly put my fist through the screen :frustrated:

If the anime decide to alter the story and reveal L's name, I'm sorry. I can't say the same if nothing unexpected happens.
Don't you think they would've shown his name just after Light picked up Rem's notebook if they were planning on doing so?
----
On topic(ish)...
I believe we saw the best of Light when he was against L. Pre-timeskip was his rise to power, post-timeskip (hopefully) will be where he slowly loses everything. I want to see him pushed more and more into a corner.
I'm a little annoyed Madhouse removed most of the conversation Light and N had in the manga (read chapter 63-66 after watching ep 28). I loved seeing Light being treated like a nobody for once, he's always been singled out by everyone as special up to this point.
^ u know what thats a really good point u made there it makes alot of sense, for me i dont mind Near n Mellow i was suprised with Mellow tho i didnt know he would be an enemy, but i think L was a bit of a better challenge for Light cause L was always rite there with Light in the same room n always thought of the best plans,i guess its still early too see just how smart Near is n i admit it kinda throws me off that he looks so younge but im hoping with the future episodes that Light is gonna get into some serious trouble,the story has been favouring too much on his side i think like when L was around it was balanced out u know what i mean but with L dead now,im just hoping Near will cause some serious damage for Light n i havent read the manga but that does piss me off knowing that they talked more Near n Light but it wasnt added in.

Yah but you got to remember, Light was only 17 when he took down L.
Btw, Mello is 19 and Near is 17.
Kinny Riddle
2007-04-26, 10:11
Light's got a bit complacent for the last 4 years without any challenge from L, so he easily got outmanoeuvred.
No matter how many times I see it, I still wonder how Mello managed to find such a large expanse somewhere in North America for a 747 to land and take-off safely, as well as how he got himself one nice missile.
Anyway, besides the story, I have to say the BGM in this episode has got to be the best used, with plenty of melancholic electric guitar tracks, which are some of my favourite in the anime soundtrack.

2007-04-26, 11:24
Are you serious, Mello and Near are 19 and 17? I thought they were younger due to Near's size. o.0 It doesn't help that he's always dressed in his pajamas and has screentime that shows from above his head or right at his face. :confused:
So if they were to be chosen to succeed L, that means at at the age of 12/11 and 14/13 they were already deciding at the Wammy House that these two (preteen kids at the time) were smart enough? (*Remember the message of L's death went through 5 years after the incident and it took 1 year for both Near and Mello to establish themselves in the group they're in now.*) Light was in college when he beat L and had a year or two of college time. That made him closer to 19/20. Was L that much older than him? I read the manga but was never really clear to how old all these peeps were, except Light...
I did not enjoy the manga's droning monologues but the series speeds things up quite a lot, skipping some stuff, but keeping the most important ones- making the series a lot better than the manga in this second half thus far... -_-

I admit I'm tempted. This is a thread (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=38819) speicifically catered to the experienced fans where anyone can sing like the canary without ever worrying about spoiling. While L's name may not be revelaed in this Madhouse version of the story, knowing it now can still be considered as a spoiler by an anime-only viewer. It doesn't hurt to be a little considerate since the intention here is to have fun with everyone, those who are expereincing the show for the first time, or those that aren't. And only way to accomplish that is keep it spoiler free.
Oh, I realised only now that Light&Misa have two notes, Jealous's note (Taken by Rem, given to Misa, given to Light, bound to Ryuk, was buried, and recovered by Misa) and Rem's (Rem's personal note until she died and Light picked it up from her remains). So M has Ryuk's spare (found by Light, bound to Rem, was buried, found by Higuchi, taken by the police)
So M can't have death god eyes and a death god won't appear to him, he can't see Ryuk either.
actually Mello has Ryuks original note with the english rules written inside, while Misa has Jealous's note.
Because Ryuk and Rem switched theirs around before Light relinquished his memories.
Light does have Rems original deathnote tho.. and Ryuk still has his spare
Ah right, that's how it is. That note indeed has the rules written on it but it's not bound to Ryuk.
So M knows everything about the death note, but there are the fake rules. N only knows that when you write people's names on it they die.

Neither M or N knows the existence of Deathgods either.
I like Light less and less as these episodes go on - partly because he seems almost inept now and partly because he treats Misa so poorly.
I don't think he's inept. This event is just like episode 2, in his first confrontation with L. Light is by nature extremely self-confident, so he generally feels very secure in his own superiority -- until taken by surprise. L shocked him out of his complacency with the fake L telecast, and Light made the mistake of killing the guy. Here, after several years without serious competition, he's suddenly confronted with an unexpected situation again. And, like before, he takes the hasty solution of simply killing the problematic person -- and backing himself into a corner again.
But now that he knows the extent of the other person's resources (diverting a passenger plane, landing in the middle of nowhere, an underground bunker, and a MISSILE, for crying out loud), he'll definitely be more subtle and wily in future confrontations.
Remember the message of L's death went through 5 years after the incident and it took 1 year for both Near and Mello to establish themselves in the group they're in now
I don't think it took 5 years. It was shown at the end of the narration in episode 26, but I think it was just meant to surprise the viewer after seeing all that information about how Light pretty much has the world in his hands. After all, N said Mello had been gone from the orphanage for about 4 years.
The developments in this episode kept me cringing at the edge of my seat. It's obvious that L has been caught up with the next generation to L.
Mello absolutely pawned Light without letting him give a chance for a counterplan and cleverly covering his traces.
To spill salt to the open injury Light had no other choice left but to ask for N / Near's help, and his failure for allowing the note to be handed without even tracing the culprits earned him a humiliating scold from N.
This is awesome how the second arc is turning out. Light is getting cornered and not allow more free choices, as he did in the first arc when his only worry was outsmarting L for the victory.
He is now caught between the game set by Mello to challenge Near for the race to see who gets to capture Kira first.
My reasoning for Light not taken action is that if he should had kill Sayu at the moment the trade was taking place he will be put on straight suspicion that he is Kra by both Mello and Near.
Fortunately, Light didn't because his human emotions won him over his God's complex. Just like his father put no doubts on his mind to deliver the note in exchange for Sayu's freedom.
As well, I am certain that the note was not inside the missile. Mello arranged the act to fool everyone else primarily because Near is as well on the investigation and could have easily read his movements.
The note remained on the underground complex, and it is obvious that Near already realized that the missile was the decoy. He waited to prove his suspicions were right the moment that many of the SPK members passed away just a couple of hours since the trade was made.
The animation for Near was absolutely cool and creepy, since his face was shown more ghostly and ethereal than that of L's. And what I can say for Misa's gung-ho when she starts to pack her things industriously.
The one who I feel the most sympathy was Sayu, since she was literally taken off from the safety of her home and family, and held hostage to virtually unknown and unseen assailants.
Add the fact that the masked guy made seem real that he was actually shooting her, though he shot the bulletproof glass, nearly broke her mind.
Wasn't it supposed that Rem explained to Misa that Ryuk got his second DEATHNOTE by tricking the Shinigami king?
Or is it that it was just a rumor? And that Ryuk was not unable to accomplish such an ominous feat, and instead picked up that unknown Shinigami's notebook when the latter lost it?

Light not killing Sayu proves that Kira is someone in the Yagami family. Kira kills anyone who gets in his way and he already killed the Director of the police force to prevent the trade. Why not kill Sayu? Why is she so important? If Light had killed Sayu and Soichiro it would prove Kira could not be someone in the Yagami family.
I don't rely like it now. Yeah L's killed thats cool but that Near guy pisses me of. It was more intersting watching L vs Light. It's just me or Light got kinda dum. In my view Light was wayyyyy smarter at the begining of the series.
And something interesting Mello or whats his name eats chocolade just like me.

Why not kill Sayu? Why is she so important? If Light had killed Sayu and Soichiro it would prove Kira could not be someone in the Yagami family.
Mello doesn't *know* Kira killed the director; he just suspects it. Not killing Sayu doesn't say "A Yagami is Kira," it does say "Either Kira doesn't know about it (which is possible, and this was explained more in the manga) or a Yagami is Kira."
However, killing Sayu and/or Souichiro would have made it pretty clear that Kira knows what's going on with the kidnapping, casting extreme suspicion on those 4 still working on the Kira case, whose names Mello knows.

The information about Sayu being kidnapped was much more restricted than when news about the Director broke out. Only the four people in that room were aware of it, and if Sayu died, the field of possible Kira candidates would have narrowed immensely.

it kind of annoys me that they cut out some large details here and there, as well as details that explain some things. I guess it keeps the pace going, but I think some of it was unnecessary...
I'm going to discuss some things that were cut from the last few episodes, but I'm avoiding any direct spoilers. Still enclosing it in tags for safety:
One of the big things was (as noted before) Near and Light don't exactly hit it off. Near treats him like a nobody, and basically says the new L is useless and hasn't done anything in the last several years other then let Kira's popularity grow. Hearing Light's thoughts of bloody murder would have been nice. :)
Light also had a much clearer line of reasoning for why Kira killed the Director and that was why Sayu's kidnapping should be private to the team, which was a little muddy here I feel. He's still sharp, and he uses this to build confidence that Kira ISN'T among the team. He also develops something for the team specifically for the exchange to use, showing he's being as prepared as he can be. (I won't say more on this, since Madhouse may write it in later) Since they cut out a lot of people's thoughts and preparations, we don't get as much of the intelligence on the surface as before.
There was a lot of byplay between Near and Light that admittedly would have slowed it down... but some things could have been used. Near doesn't tell Light about Whammy then and there, it's actually something Light maneuvers him into having to give it up. part of this involves a large scene that was cut, but they still might have time to introduce it out of order. From the preview of next ep... probably not. Besides the tools, Light was having Misa look for a picture of the criminal they saw in the airport (not judging criminals at such an important time), and passes his name to N so they can track down who the kidnappers are. N actually gets a '!' at the info... this is conjecture, but I think he finds it odd that L found that out so fast...
Aggh... so frustrated. I like the pace and the touchups of the new stuff, but they should have given themselves more time to maintain the tactics of the manga. Near's mannerism too is much more like L than in the manga, although he still has his odd little eccentricities.
I just wanted to comment for people to understand, all the parties actually had a lot more thinking and tactics involved in this sequence (even Mello) that got nixed.
Also, as for why Light left the team around... I think it's because A) he's gotten a little complacent, which they even suggest on the back cover of the manga (so not necessarily canon, but possibly), and B) he needs the team still. People are still hunting for Kira, and now he has both the safest position from that AND a place where he can always ask for people's information and resources in the matter. In other words, he has every excuse to keep tabs on everyone's investigations and information, including who's looking for what... he's not nearly done changing the world yet, and he's taking his time because societal change is slow to take.

Talk about being out classed Lights own arrogance will be his downfall. The pressure is obviously getting to him and i hate the way he treats Misa but you know what she asked for it accepted Light for all his assholeiness so i cant feel that bad.

Just thinking about Misa's life span again, shouldn't it be incredibly long?
She quartered her remaining life for getting the Shinigami eyes twice. However, she already had a longer life span since a shinigami gave her his accidentally. And then Rem!
Remember Rem took over from Light which meant she probably carried out dozens of killings a week, at the very least. She would have a store of hundreds to thousands of years of life span that got passed onto Misa.
Did Light realise this? Was it part of his plan? Does he intend to find out how to steal some of Misa's life span somehow, or did he just want to ensure that Misa would be around so he could use her eyes?
<Movie spoiler removed> I like Near, he's similiar yet very different to L and I'm surprised how much they've upped the ante to make up for L's death. Just seems a shame that he's not a part of it.

I'm pretty sure that what was transferred from Shinigami to Misa was their "life" not their "lifespan." They died so Misa could live on but there was no transfer of their lifespan to Misa. It's never really explained clearly but that would make the most sense.
Ugh I guess I dont have to see the movie anymore.
However ep28 was pretty good, I guess Light havent had much competition until N and M showed up

God, this episode was so hilarious this time around.
I loved the way the author did the getaway phase of the exchange. Wow, that was so pathetic, an untraceable missile. What the hell, where did that come from? You know I was starting to accept the fact (as a weak plot point) that as people still new to the scene, Mello and Near, that their quick massive gain in influence and resources could be overlooked (starting with the Near's meeting with the president). But this is getting ridiculous. A plane hijacking, in America, in the year 2012 (or 2013)? An underground base? An untraceable missile?
I still haven't seen Mello or Near do anything smart. Mello just has the resources to pull some very serious over the top plans and Near... Well he just stacks building. You're not cool, buddy! Sitting there twirling your hair! These sucessors don't live up to L at all.
And how could Light not have prepared anything for the exchange? And isn't the stance of the police to be, "Don't negotiate with the terrorists..." I would of used a fake Death Note with one real page from the real Death Note. With this, it will pass the test but he won't be able to use it for long. Or put a bugging device on it.
PS. I was wondering about something, doesn't the Death Note run out of space? Or do the names disappear as soon as the person dies. This would help to explain why L didn't do a writing analysis on it and why after 5 years of convicting criminals to death, there's still space left.

Misa is Excel from Excel Saga. With her hair down she looks just like her and she has always acted like her. I thought it interesting when Light declared that the world is rotten in the first episode just like Il palazzo. I had noticed the similarity before but in this episode Misa as a character was indistinguishable from Excel. The similarity is so uncanny that it is probably more than coincidence. (Note: Excel Saga was my first real anime and Death Note is becoming my favorite anime)
Light Yagami: is pure E.V.I.L.! He is so bad that he would kill his own father if he has to I'll warrant.
L: I really like his weird attitude and he can be really funny at times. His blank look is so funny
Well, Light might be evil but Mello is a heck of a lot more evil.
And Lights father sacrificed thousands/millions to save his daughter since he knew what the notebook was going to be used for.
And Near, just gives me the creeps.
I really find me not chering for anyone besides Misa cause I feel sad for her.

I think that the turning over of the Death Note could've been a little better.
It could've been possible to only take out a few pages of the notebook, and placed them in a fake, and turned that over. By the time Mello would've found out about it, Sayu would have been returned, and Light could've planned his next move. It really didn't seem like they had to turn over the complete notebook to me.

In watching the anime, one of the rules they posted in the middle of the episodes is that a Death Note never runs out of space. I don't know how that would work if only one page was a real page in the notebook. The idea of putting a tracking device on it is excellent!
