Well he always could add one more line before the suicide parts to his deathnote. "Suddenly she felt horny and she dragged kira all the way to a secluded area and she gave kira the best time of his life."

I know L is not a saint, but he's certainly more than a few steps up from Light. (I don't want to get into spoilers.) |

Secondly, even if she just saw a normal high school student did she not forget the profile that L put out in the beginning? Kira is supposed to be: - a student - living in the Kantou region of Japan - has an inside leak within the NPA, which is why she went with Raye there, because he was investigating them in the first place This is general information, seeming how L announced to everyone and their mamas and I'm sure that information got around internationally as well. She must've known considering that's WHY she was in Japan in first place with Raye. So, even if we knew that he was Kira or not, the point is that she was not supposed to be giving out that information anyways. As a detective, or a FBI agent, former at that, she is to already assume that everyone is a suspect. Son of the police chief of the NPA or not. She might've been consumed with grief, but she still should've known better than to have told him all that information. She did not know Light from a can of paint and should've refrained from letting out all that information, even before he lied to her and told her that he was apart of the investigation. |

You gotta give Naomi more credit than that.She did give a false name at first,but Light worked her real good.He knew she was still on raw emotion for losing Raye and when he handed her a chance for revenge by joining the investigation,he pretty much had her in his pocket.
Also it was interesting to see Aizawa walking by.Had the timing been off by just a few seconds he might have caught Light admitting he's Kira. What made it for me though was Ryuk's maniacal laughter.He must be having the time of his life!I would like to follow Light around like that too! |

I thought the whole Ryuk laughter thing sorta ruined it since originally Ryuk said he was impartial and what not to the game between Light and L; which was obviously not as unbiased as it seems.
But I'd wonder what'd happen if Ryuk just never informed Light of anything or gave away anything that obvious. Oh well. Good ep, I like the small-twist from Manga (at least I think they made changes right?) |

Ryuk's goal in all of this is to have fun. I find the best way to analyze DN's characters are by what their respective goals are. Ryuk is out of break the monotony of his shinigami lifestyle and if he finds something humourous, he's going to laugh, regardless of bias or the situation of Light and L's chess game.

So if you subtract that out from your analysis, Naomi has little reason not to tell Light her hypothesis, especially if he's capable of passing on the message to the police since she can't seem to find them in the building. Secondly, Naomi was only harbouring a hypothesis, a theory. Quite different from being absolutely sure that Kira was the person on the bus that Ray talked to. Since she's an FBI agent and not a member of the general public, her training at crime solving (assuming she was a member of an investigation squad instead of something like, translations department) would have trained her to make deductions and follow up onto them, but not to jump at the first plausible idea and conclude that it's the absolute truth. Thus this helps to explain her normal behaviour at meeting strangers like Light instead of running around paranoid thinking that every person that talks to her is Kira. Now that'll be weird. Although it would make sense for the viewer if Naomi was absolutely sure that the guy on the bus Ray talked to was Kira, it would be bad storytelling since Naomi was just simply making a good guess (that happened to be accurate). FBI or ex-FBI agents don't bust down people without concrete evidence, right? I don't think Naomi knew why Ray was posted to Japan until the scene after the busjacking with Naomi and Ray in the hotel room. Naomi made a guess that Ray was in Japan for Kira investigations, and Ray acknowledged it without telling her anything more. I'm quite sure Ray told her not to interfere with the investigations since they were getting married and Naomi quit the FBI already. If that's Ray's attitude towards Naomi then, why would they suddenly discuss off-screen what happened on the bus in depth? |

At first, I couldn't understand the significance of the police officer walking by with an umbrella when it snowed but reading some of the comments, it was just a matter of timing only? Sure, he was sooo close to hearing Light confess but even when you walk by people, you still hear what they are talking about. Surely he would have heard the name Kira or L or some other word to trigger the fact that some strangers are talking about the case. If something piques your curiousity, don't you slow down and try to eavesdrop to find out what they might know? I'm thinking that even though he didn't, perhaps it has registered in his subconcious that they were talking. I wonder if he knows Light is the captains son too or even if someone in the princinct will mention to his father that he had dropped by to see him but left with a girl. I can't wait til the next ep. He is so deliciously evil and conniving.
I had forgotten that there was info not made public and known only to the group dealing with the kira case so Naomis actions do indeed make sense. I, too, had a beef regarding her discussing so freely any hypothesis she had regarding Kira to Light the way she was but thanks to someone mentioning that she would have had no idea that they were supposedly dealing with a kid, her actions do make sense now. |

One thing i can fault this episode for:
Between the time he told her he was Kira and when he was overtaken by the Death Note. That single expression was not enough. I wanted to see tears and a dialogue between them. I wanted her to express her hatred for him and i wanted him to explain to her why he is doing all of this. I wanted to see some exchange of words. Second she was acting completely rational. ALL of that info, before he told her he was part of the investigation, was justified because he was the son of the cop who headed the whole thing. Do NOT forget to add the fact she was under emotional-pain. She is just human and emotions get to you. Women are also as well more emotional than men AND she still has attachment to her FBI life. I STILL WANTED TO SEE SOME TALKING BETWEEN THE TWO DAMN IT RIGHT AFTER HE TOLD HER HE WAS KIRA. Also to the person who said he wouldn't go after her and that he could have any highschool girl he wanted... umm not to sound weird and believe me this will, but based on how other girls (we have seen pretty much one) look in that particular anime world i can surely say she was smoking hot. Nice body. Nice hair. Good mind. Pretty face. Sexy eyes When you add all of that up you get a grade A quality woman. Plus she is more mature, but she still is quite young. What is she? In her 30's? There isn't much of a difference in a womans body in her 20s and 30s if she hasn't had a kid and i don't think she has had one. |

I think I'm the only one bored with Kira (and his oh-so-unlikely luck). It really just doesn't make any sense. With all this talk about how this story emphasizes how life's so unfair, how is it that the anti-hero has a pretty damn fair life?
Also, I'm pretty sure the "good and evil - it's all relative" argument is crap. People have a choice to do as they please as it is in reality. There are no Death Notes to control them. To say "the end justifies the means" even if the end means slavery seems a bit...dumb. At least to people who treasure freedom. And I am kinda confouned as to why Naomi's in the op sequence if she's dead in 7 eps. It's 30+ eps, so I guess that means we get a new opening sequence some time soon. |

Glad to see Raito sweating it...
Really, this is the first time he "seriously" deals with a threat, aka Naomi. He somehow managed to get her trust, undoubtly Raito should start an actor carrier, he's so bluffing. But seeing him all panicking was damn funny. Now we can say with no doubt he's a genius, an evil one. And it's like he's going to crush all the headquarter web : that guy with umbrella should normally be the next one, and so on. Am I wrong, or is it the first time Raito comes up with the suicide menu ? I don't like it, because commiting suicide is still oneself decision : Death Note acting on it, rather on physical and/or external matters (heart attack, illness, traffic accident, etc), seriously annoys me. Besides, I want to see Raito getting his balls...sorry I mean Spoiler:

She knew that they were in Japan to investigating possible Kira suspects. She didn't JUST guess that in the hotel room. She KNEW that. She also knew that he had been investigating someone for a while and that's why she said that it was suspicious that the incident happened when he was on the bus. So she's aware that Raye had been investigating a person. She didn't who exactly, but she was aware that Raye was. The point is that while she was suspicious enough to give him a fake name, she wasn't wise enough to hold back REAL information. This is where she made her mistake AS A DETECTIVE. Whether or not this was theory she was holding, she was sure enough to head down to HQ to report it. All in all, Naomi wasn't a very good FBI agent and neither was Raye. |

lol the olgic ppl use here is totaly... stupid to put it at best
Let's see now: He sweet talks her She just lost her love He is the son of the guy heading the police department She has been offered a way to talk to the investigation squad Light totaly presents to her in a logical way that she is right and that he trusts her Then he TELLS her he is part of the team and offers a logical explanation for it Then he sweet talks her more and shows her she can trust him She gets the same feeling off of him that she gets off of L (they are both geniouses) BAM she gets owned. As simple as that. Still if she had kids with Light they would be the worl's most evil/sexy looking ppl. |

Raito is really emitting a (un)comforting aura pulling people to him. Ray penbar, who was a (skillful, I hope) FBI agent, trusted him too. And he was not a woman, if I'm correct. Besides, she could have trusted him from the beginning when he told her he was the Police chief son, and given him her true name... |
