You first said she ADMITTED TO BEING KIRA, and now you say circumstantial evidence pointing her to kira is the same thing? You gotta be out of your mind. If you can't take any responsibility for your own words, then I suggest you don't say them at all. Admitting to a crime, and circumstantial evidence pointing one to a suspect, is NEVER a same thing. Duh. Precicely BECAUSE of circumstantial evidence that points towads her, L is confidnet she's Kira. However, she has NOT admitted to being one, and that's precicely the reason why he wants to keep her on leash. I see no flaw in logic there. And as for seeing his face.... Kira only needs to tell her "it's that guy you saw at the university" for her to use her powers. That's why HIDING from her does not do jack squat. L knows this, that's why he wants to keep Misa, who he's confident is the second Kira, and Light, who he suspects to be the real Kira, on leash, close to him. L already has the information that Kira can kill from any distance. Moving them away, out of his sight, does not do him any good. He knows they can kill him anywhere, anyway. He already knows his life is in the same danger no matter what. Again, your flaw of logic gives you absolutely no credibility over the manga artist. And you say you're "too lazy" to go back and watch? Well... don't blame your laziness and lack of observation, as well as your lack of understanding the logic, on the manga artist's intelligence. When in doubt, always doubt your own observation first, make a detailed analization, then finally, give conclusion. That is the basic of analyzing anything, my friend.

Execution
Honestly, this was such an intense episode that I could not help myself at getting goosebumps from watching it.
I have NEVER read the manga, therefore, I thought the plot would only be positioned on the race of wits between L and Light/Kira to find out each other identity with the entire police taskforce on their backs and the scales of power in balance. However, I never thought that the story would be moving on out of bounds and towards something even bigger and sinister. Spoiler:
Spoiler for The New Players:
The episode delivered a good deal of beautiful shots of Souichirou, Amane, and Light when they were about to break down. Unfortunately, I disliked the funny antics for the second half of the episodes. Those comedy moments mostly involve Misa's whinning, delirious fantasies of dating Light, and her genkiness. They remember me of those seinen, romantic comedy series. Her squeaky and squealing voice got on my nerves. |

Hum, I want L's screensaver !!
I just saw the raw, and I hope that L's obsession towards Raito will be explained in the next episodes. As Raito and that afro policeman said, L is acting weird, and persecutes Raito without any proof. I hope the new villains showing up will at least give Raito some rest of being suspected ...

I think I got a little lost somewhere. When light said the word "discard" he lost all knowledge of the death note, right? But then how did this organization get a hold of it? Did Remi* just "find" this person and give it to them on a temporary basis? Is Light just subletting the death note out? Did he know who Remi would give it to?
What is Ryuk doing? has he gone back to his old world? Maybe I just haven’t been paying proper attention the last few eps but this all seems a little scatty to me right now...

Erm... maybe I understood what you said and I just quoted it as an answer to Mystical Lint? That's why I put --- after it, dammit.

You're looking at it from the AUDIENCE's view. You're basing your assumptions over information that YOU and I have, not what L has. L does not know that Misa and Kira totally lost their memory. The only information he has, is that evidences points towards Misa as Kira2, and that she is in league with Kira1. And for some reason, the two suspects attitudes changed during their confiment. That is the only inormation L has. Try to think in the character's shoes, not in YOURS. Also, you pretty much answered your OWN question. You proved yourself, that L's decision to keep potential Kira on leash is correct. Again, keep in mind... he does NOT know what the extent of Kira's powers are. Thus, he must assume the worst, and do anything in his power to observe them. Unfortunately, it goes against the other police officers interest, and thus, he must make adjustments to his plan.

As fun as condescendingly snide comments are... I'm just not feelin them.
So yes, I'm working with what the creators give me. I didn't like the episode that awful much... I didn't like the change of atmosphere given by Misa. And I don't like the potential things that could happen in the future because of these recent events. Especially since the chain seems aimed at giving humorously awkward circumstances. But I'm going to assume L at least has his reasons and this is the best possible way to both keep them under control as well as give them as much freedom as possible. It seems to me L has morals enough (or is it regard for the law?) that he doesn't wish to keep them when evidence is building against him. (perhaps he is one of the few who uphold 'innocent until proven guilty') But he also knows his conclusions are never wrong blah blah blah so he doesn't give them full freedom. And of course I don't think he has any idea what he would do if Kira's spirit came back into Light. He doesn't really know what it's capable of. And I remember that when he first heard he may be dealing with Death Gods L seemed genuinely frozen with fear. But I also have to assume he's only doing what puts the least amount of people in danger as well as keeping an eye on Light. So eating out of the creators hands? Maybe. Trying to enjoy this series the best I can? Hell yeah! Don't try to make it out as such a bad thing. It's still a great anime. I may like L but I'm rooting for evil Light. And I still think this series has much in store in it's future. *shrug* And I have to watch the new episode soon... |

If L could help it, he would have kept them detained, since he is sure they are Kira. That's why he's trying to keep eye on Light, since he couldn't "detain" them anymore, the best he could do is to keep him near him, and to watch what he does. That's why I said "Unfortunately, it goes against the other police officers interest, and thus, he must make adjustments to his plan."

Only recently have I started watching Death Note, so please excuse my delayed reply. Frankly, I was disappointed by the way the anime is progressing. I was hoping episode 18 is the last episode, and that Light and Misa had forgotten about the Death Note as well as everything about themself in the pass few months. Both of them were released due to lack of evidence. One rainy night, as Light became intricited by the red apple in his palm, he met Misa. Even though they don't remember each other, they felt as if they had met before. Life continued as they began to hunt for their forgotten past, a past they don't want to remember. Yet, it is a past they both shared. That's the ending I was hoping for.
Hopefully, the characters in the anime will realized that evil is born within everyone, but human isn't ugly in nature. Light and shadow, one cannot exist without another. Anyway, now that I know my ending isn't possible, I wish both Light and L will grew up. Although I doubt L will since he seems to care more about himself being correct than saving lives. I wouldn't go into the discussion whether it is justifiable to sacrify one life to save a thousand, but both Light and L is very similar in that sense. |
