I agree with everyone who has thought this episode is one of the best so far. I think if all the mentioned key points are listed, then the content of this episode will start making sense. I'll have to rewatch the episode before I start comprehending things a bit clearer, but I'll start the list with a few key developments..
Spoiler for a list of important development from Episode 16:
I'm sure I've missed out on a few more key points about this episode. Feel free to add them. Also, please feel free to correct me where it is necessary.

I find increasingly DN episodes are becoming modular, a story in themselves, and the whole show is turning into a series of episodes, instead of one continuous flowing story. It has become an action series.
The episode started with some ridiculous developments that are fleshed out reasonably well (considering the short time).

I'm confused as heck! Btw, anyone can talk about an episode in an episode discussion thread without using spoiler tags. Some of us are adding the spoiler tags as a courtesy to the viewers who have yet to watch this episode. That said, any manga spoiler even under a spoiler tag is a big no-no in an episode discussion thread. Feel free to PM me if you don't understand something from what I just said here.

I think Light really does lose his memories. Otherwise, I don't believe that there would need to be such a focus on the imagery of his dark, narrowed eyes becoming wide, bright, and innocent. Ryuk also left his side, indicating Light doesn't own the Death Note anymore. That's just me picking at things like that though.
Perhaps once you give up ownership on the Death Note, you lose the "feeling" (guilt? lust for power? etc.) that you've ever used it or knew about it. That's why his innocent self can confidently say he isn't Kira, because he really doesn't have that feeling and knowledge anymore. Light must know his own behavior quite well in order to pull off whatever he's about to pull off. If his Death-Note-owning self can't convince L and the others of his innocence, his sans-Death-Note self probably can and will somehow (at least the others, probably not L... I hope!) |

In this occasion, Light is very much aware of all the camera that are watching his every move in that cell. That's why I think a first time viewer cannot automatically assume that Light has lost his memory. Quote:
Btw, those of you who thought Misa was being tortured, well.... after watching this episode, it seems you were wrong.

Somehow this ep seemed a bit "slow" and "tame", compared to the few previous ones. But the events sure are interesting. What is(was) Light scheming when he decided to give up Death Note... no doubt he is planning to get it back later on...but how ?
Maybe he wrote in the Death Note (before giving it up) that some one<insert specific person> will find it, use it for a set amount of time, and then will deliver it to him (and kicking the bucket after that ofc...)... maybe thats how he is planning to regain the note and his memories Man...what a mindblender.

Still, if he was acting, I don't think there'd be a reason for Ryuk to leave. Ryuk is there to be entertained, saying something to Light in the beginning something like, "I'll stick around until that notebook is done, or you're done." But I can see where it can be viewed as acting for someone viewing it for the first time. Quote:
Not sure of the extent of memory loss, but maybe another reason why Rem suggested to Misa to relinquish ownership of the Death Note was also so Misa wouldn't remember the more traumatizing part of the interrogation related to Kira. Misa is more lively and comfortable, now that she doesn't remember anything about the Death Note. Her changed behavior also seems to be helping her loosen some of the restraints that were on her previously. This episode was crazy though. I think it was meant to confuse the viewer as it did L |

When I used to watch Naruto consistently, there would occasionally be episodes that would make me want to go and spoil myself with the manga (eventually, that urge won and I became a manga reader). I didn't really watch those kind of shows for a while, so I never experienced it again, till now with this episode of Death Note
Quote:
I don't think the extent of the memory loss will really ever be explained because there's too many questions - like if a person has a memory connected in some way to the Death Note, etc talking to Misa at his home about the entire Kira ordeal, does he forget that too? Or does he remember he had Misa in his house but doesn't remember they talked about Kira - but then how does he remember knowing about Misa or........etc.....

I wish more anime-only viewers who never read the manga or watched any of the live action movie, would post their thoughts so I could enjoy reading their impression of the series, and enjoy their bafflement along with mine. Quote:
