Death Note Episode 24 Discussion / Poll

[Guido]

Virtually, I am done with the first arc of the anime, but I do hate and feeling miserable that the characters I have grown to care much will be departing soon.

Light, without memories of the DEATH NOTE, seemed so innocent and lacking of guilt. I am going to miss that face of Light's.

Please, tell me my ears were deceiving me when I heard L saying good-bye?
This is got to be a joke!

Light and L are the toasted bread and jelly. There is no DEATH NOTE without both of them. It's unfair.

While I will be missing the innocent Light, "God-complex" Light is very well welcomed again due to his stunning performance. His ego-mania bumped the chart, as he behaved more mischievous, machiavellan, and scheming than ever. I like when the tone of his voice went one octave-down with a malice accent.
It was pure gold!

Spoiler:

I immediately realized Light's plan to retrieve the ownership of the first Note during the flashback.

1. He first relinquished ownership to it. Then handed it to Ryuk. Lastly, Ryuk handed it to Rem.

2. For the second notebook, he relinquised the ownership. Then handed it to Rem. Following, Rem handed it to Ryuk. Lastly, Ryuk handed it to Light.

The first notebook Rem gave it to Higuchi so as the killings will continue right after the time of hiatus Light stipulated at the moment of his imprisonment in order to draw inmediate suspicion away from him and to confirm to L that the power can be transferred to another people. Following this theory, Light had L to suspect the power possess people but leaves at will, deleting the memories of said person.

I think it is more accurate to explain that Light indeed acquired the ownership of the second note via Ryuk via Rem, since likely at that time Rem had already deleted Misas' memories after the latter relinquished ownership of that note.

The catch was that he would deliberately relinquish ownership of the second note during his first day of imprisonment to buy time and to bewilder L. L had suspected that if Light was caught, then the killings will automatically stop thus proving that Light is Kira.
However, there was this three day hiatus before the killings resumed (Higuchi using the note).

The fake rules were Light and Misa's alibi to disprove L, since he was certain that L could not be able to doubt or accuse the integrity of a Shinigami.

But it is not over yet. Light may have known from Ryuk that the users must consider the human factor of error. He may have known that it would be impossible for Misa to remember L's name on that day due that the users who made the deal see the names of hundreds of people everyday, and thus cannot processes the surmountable quantity of information in their minds.

Light is setting up the ideal conditions for the trap to which L will finally fall prey into his bind. Have Misa made the deal again with Ryuk, thus endagenring her lifespan with a quarter remaining, which will buzz the alarm for Rem.

It is obvious that Light intends to have Rem kill L at the expense of risking Misa's life in order to kill two birds with a single stone.

I have NEVER ever read the manga, but I am going to give the anime the benefit of the doubt on the manner how the staff handled the recovery of Lights' memories.

Spoiler:

The manga might as well handled or at least shown Light with his memories recovered, but it is likely that the anime show exactly the moment how he got them back.
