2026-09-06 19:00 New Death Note Rules XXXVI. There are male and female gods of death, but it is neither permitted, nor possible for them to have sexual relations with humans. The gods of death also cannot have sex with each other. XXXVII. When regaining ownership of the Death Note, the memories associated with the Death Note will also return. In cases where you were involved with other Death Notes as well, memories of all the Death Notes involved will return. Even without ownership, memories will return just by touching the Death Note. XXXVIII. You will lose memory of the Death Note when losing its ownership. But you can regain this memory by either obtaining the ownership once again or by touching the Death Note. This can be done up to 6 times per Death Note. If the 6 times are exceeded, the person's memory of the Death Note will not return and they will have to use it without any previous memory of it. XXXIX. Humans that have traded for the eye power of a god of death cannot see the name or lifespan of humans who have already passed away by looking at their photos. XL. Whenever a god of death who had been in the human world dies and the Death Note is left behind and is picked up by a human, that person becomes the owner. However, in this case, only the human that can recognize the god of death and its voice is able to see and touch the Death Note. It is very unlikely, but if by any chance a god of death picks up the Death Note, that god of death becomes the owner. XLI. It is useless trying to erase names written in the Death Note with erasers or white out. XLII. The use of the Death Note in the human world sometimes affects other humans lives or shortens their original life span, even though their names are not actually written in the Death Note itself. In these cases, no matter the cause, the god of death sees only the original life span and not the shortened life span. XLIII. If a Death Note is owned in the human world against the god of death's will, that god of death is permitted to stay in the human world in order to retrieve it. In that case, if there are other Death notes in the human world, the gods of death are not allowed to reveal to humans that Death Note's owner or its location.

Death Note: How To Use It I. The human whose name is written in this note shall die. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing their name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. If the cause of death is written within 40 secs of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 mins and 40 secs. II. This note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world. The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, i.e. a god of death. The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell. III. If the time of death is written within 40 secs after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 secs after writing the name. The human who touches the Death Note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note. IV. The person in possession of the Death Note is possessed by a god of death, its original owner, until they die. If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of them within 39 days after they use the note. Gods of death, the original owners of the Death Note, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the deaths in the note. A god of death has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it. V. A god of death can extend their life by putting human names on the note, but humans cannot. A person can shorten their own life by using the note. The human who becomes the owner of the Death Note can, in exchange of half of their remaining life, get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable them to see a human's name and remaining lifespan when looking through them. A god of death cannot be killed even if stabbed in the heart with a knife or shot in the head with a gun. However, there are ways to kill a god of death, which are not generally known to the gods of death. VI. The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably to be carried out by that human. The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out. VII. One page taken from the Death Note, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note. The instrument to write with can be anything (e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc.) as long as it can write directly onto the note and remains as legible letters. Even the gods of death do not know much about the note. VIII. You may also write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the written cause of death. You have about 19 days in order to fill in a name. Even if you do not actually possess the Death Note, the effect will be the same if you can recognize the person and their name to place in the blank. IV. The Death Note will not affect those under 780 days old. The Death Note will be rendered useless if the victim's name is misspelled four times. X. "Suicide" is a valid cause of death. Basically all humans are thought to possess the possibility to commit suicide. It is, therefore, not something "unbelievable to think of". Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced. XI. Even after the individual's name, the time of death, and death condition on the Death Note were filled out, the time and condition of death can be altered as many times as you want, as long as it is changed within 6 mins and 40 secs from the time it was filled in. But this is only possible before the victim dies. Whenever you want to change anything written on the Death Note within 6 mins and 40 secs after you wrote, you must first rule out the characters you want to erase with two straight lines. The time and conditions of death can be changed, but once the victim’s name has been written, the individual’s death can never be avoided. XII. If you lose the Death Note or have it stolen, you will lose its ownership unless you retrieve it within 490 days. If you have traded the eye power of a god of death, you will lose the eye power as well as the memory of the Death Note, once you lose its ownership. At the same time, the remaining half of your life will not be restored. XIII. You may lend the Death Note to another person while maintaining its ownership. Subletting it to yet another person is possible, too. The borrower of the Death Note will not be followed by a god of death. The god of death always remains with the owner of the Death Note. Also, the borrower cannot trade the eyesight of the god of death. XIV. When the owner of the Death Note dies while the note is being lent, its ownership will be transferred to the person who is holding it at that time. If the Death Note is stolen and the owner is killed by the thief, its ownership will automatically be transferred to the thief. XV. When the same name is written on more than two Death Notes, the note which was first filled in will take effect, regardless of the time of death. If written the same name on more than two Death Notes is completed within a 0.06-second difference, it is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Note will not take effect and the individual written will not die. XVI. The god of death must at least own one Death Note. That Death Note must never be lent to or written on by a human. Exchanging and writing on the Death Note between the gods of death is no problem. XVII. If the god of death decides to use the Death Note to kill the assassin of an individual he favors, the individual's life will be extended, but the god of death will die. The dead god of death will disappear, but the Death Note will remain. The ownership of this Death Note is usually carried over to the next god of death that touches it, but it is common sense that it is returned to the Great god of the death (the Shinigami king). XVIII. Only by touching each other's Death Note can human individuals who own the Death Note in the human world recognize the appearance or voice of each other's god of death. An individual with the eye power of a god of death can tell the name and lifespan of other humans by looking at the person's face. By possessing the Death Note, an individual gains the ability to kill and stops being a victim. From this point, a person with the Death Note cannot see the lifespan of other Death Note owners, including themself. But, it is not really necessary for the individual to view the lifespan of themself nor other Death Note owners. The god of death must not tell humans the names or lifespans of individuals he sees. This is to avoid confusion in the human world. XVIV. It is prerequisite for the Death Note used in the human world that a living god of death makes sure that the humans in the human world use it. It is very difficult to consider that a god of death who has possessed a human could die, but if he should die, the Death Note that he brought into the human world will not lose its power. XX. In order to see the names and lifespans of humans by using the eye power of the god of death, the owner must look at more than half of that person's face. When looking from top to bottom, they must look at least from the head to the nose. If they only look at only the eyes and under, they will not be able to see the person's name and lifespan. Also, even though some parts of the face (the eyes, nose, mouth) are hidden, if they can basically see the whole face, they will be able to see the person's name and lifespan. It is still not clear how much exposure is needed to tell the name and lifespan, and this needs to be verified. If the above conditions are met, names and lifespans can be seen through photos and pictures, no matter how old they are. But this is sometimes influenced by the vividness and size. Also, names and lifespans cannot be seen by face drawings, however realistic they may be. XXI. Those with the eye power of the god of death will have the eyesight of over 3.6 in the human measurement, regardless of their original eyesight. XXII. The individuals who lose the ownership of the Death Note will also lose their memory of the usage of the Death Note. This does not mean that they will lose all the memory from the day they owned it to the day they lose possession, but means they will only lose the memory involving the Death Note. XXIII. Whenever an individual with ownership of more than two Death Notes loses possession to one of the Death Notes, they will not be able to recognize that Death Note's god of death's appearance or voice anymore. The god of death will leave, but all the memory involving that Death Note will remain as long as they maintain ownership of at least one other Death Note. XXIV. The god of death must not stay in the human world without a particular reason. Conditions to stay in the human world are as follows: 1) When the god of death's Death Note is handed to a human. 2) Essentially, finding a human to pass on the Death Note should be done from the world of the gods of death, but if it is within 82 hours this may also be done in the human world. 3) When a god of death stalks an individual with an intention to kill them, as long as it is within 82 hours of haunting them, the god of death may stay in the human world. XXV. The god of death must not hand the Death Note directly to a child under 6 years of age (based on the human calendar). Death Notes that have been dropped into the human world, and are a part of the human world, can be used upon humans of any age with the same effect. XXVI. If you write "die of accident" for the cause of death, the victim will die from a natural accident after 6 mins and 40 secs from the time of writing it. Even though only one name is written in the Death Note, if it influences and causes other humans that are not written in it to die, the victim's cause of death will be a heart attack. XXVII. If you write "die of disease" with a specific disease's name and the person's time of death, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the disease to progress. If the set time is too tight, the victim will die of a heart attack after 6 mins and 40 secs after completing the Death Note. If you write, "die of disease" for the cause of death, but only write a specific time of death without the actual name of disease, the human will die from an adequate disease. But the Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule. XXVIII. If you write "die of disease" like before with a specific disease's name, but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to die the 23 day rule will not take effect and the human will die at an adequate time depending on the disease. When rewriting the cause and/or details of death it must be done within 6 mins and 40 secs. You cannot change the victim's time of death, however soon it may be. XXIX. You cannot kill humans at the age of 124 and over with the Death Note. You cannot kill humans with less than 12 minutes of life left (in human calculations). XXX. If you have traded the eye power of a god of death, you will see a person's primary life span in the human world. The names you see with the eye power of a god of death are the names needed to kill that person. You will be able to see the names even if that person isn't registered in the family registration. XXXI. The number of pages of the Death Note will never run out. XXXII. If someone possesses more than one Death Note, by visualizing the victim, then writing down the name in one of the Death Notes and the cause of death in the other, it will take effect. The order however, is unimportant, if you write down the cause of death in one Death Note and afterwards, write the name in the other, it will still take effect. This can also be accomplished by two Death Note owners working together. In this case, it's necessary that the two touch each other's Death Notes. XXXIII. If a person loses possession of a Death Note, they will not recognize the gods of death by sight or voice anymore. If however, the owner lets someone else touch his Death Note, from that time on, that person will recognize the god of death. In accordance with the above, the human who touched the Death Note and began to recognize the gods of death's sight and voice, will continue to recognize it until that human actually owns the Death Note and subsequently loses possession of it. XXXIV. The owner of the Death Note cannot be killed by a god of death who is living in the world of the gods of death. Also, a god of death who comes to the human world, in the objective to kill the owner of the Death Note, will not be able to do so. Only a god of death that has passed on their Death Note to a human is able to kill the owner of the Death Note. XXXV. If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. However, if they intentionally misspell the name four times, the Death Note owner will die. The person whose name was misspelled four times on purpose will not be free of death by a Death Note. XXXVI. There are male and female gods of death, but it is neither permitted, nor possible for them to have sexual relations with humans. The gods of death also cannot have sex with each other. XXXVII. When regaining ownership of the Death Note, the memories associated with the Death Note will also return. In cases where you were involved with other Death Notes as well, memories of all the Death Notes involved will return. Even without ownership, memories will return just by touching the Death Note. XXXVIII. You will lose memory of the Death Note when losing its ownership. But you can regain this memory by either obtaining the ownership once again or by touching the Death Note. This can be done up to 6 times per Death Note. If the 6 times are exceeded, the person's memory of the Death Note will not return and they will have to use it without any previous memory of it. XXXIX. Humans that have traded for the eye power of a god of death cannot see the name or lifespan of humans who have already passed away by looking at their photos. XL. Whenever a god of death who had been in the human world dies and the Death Note is left behind and is picked up by a human, that person becomes the owner. However, in this case, only the human that can recognize the god of death and its voice is able to see and touch the Death Note. It is very unlikely, but if by any chance a god of death picks up the Death Note, that god of death becomes the owner. XLI. It is useless trying to erase names written in the Death Note with erasers or white out. XLII. The use of the Death Note in the human world sometimes affects other humans lives or shortens their original life span, even though their names are not actually written in the Death Note itself. In these cases, no matter the cause, the god of death sees only the original life span and not the shortened life span. XLIII. If a Death Note is owned in the human world against the god of death's will, that god of death is permitted to stay in the human world in order to retrieve it. In that case, if there are other Death notes in the human world, the gods of death are not allowed to reveal to humans that Death Note's owner or its location.

How to Think - Tsugumi Ohba Q: What was behind Mikami's introduction? Ohba: I needed another character to take Misa's place. I struggled with who it should be. Actually, Mikami is the only character in Death Note who has a chapter about his past. Q: Why did you create a story about his past? Ohba: I wanted to write about why he wanted to become Kira's proxy. I needed to establish Mikami and Light as equals and show that he was special in some way. Initially, I didn't want to include any backstory in Death Note, so I was a bit resistant to this. One of the reasons being - and this is a personal thing - I don't really like flashbacks. Q: Is there a specific reason for that? Ohba: Lately a lot of series have been developing their characters using flashbacks, and I didn't want to repeat what others are doing. With Death Note, I wanted to write about the harshness of reality rather than focus on human drama. Q: Meaning you wanted to focus on developing the truth and moving the story forward? Ohba: Yes. This is something I realized only recently, but the fact that I didn't focus on human drama was what made it possible for Death Note to have such a fast and intense pace. Had I focused on drama, things would have become heavy and the story probably would have slowed down. Plus, with human drama it's easy to get philosophical and preachy. If you go too far with that the story is no longer interesting. That's why I think it was a really good idea that I avoided all the drama. Q: Getting back to the characters, tell me about Mikami. Ohba: First, I cast him as a prosecutor. I reasoned that given his profession he would possess a hatred for societal evil... and from there I added more and more. I wanted him to be smart but also dangerous. I had no visual preferences; I let Obata-sensei handle that. The character's obsession with the word "delete" makes him more interesting, don't you think? Q: Was there anything you were careful about when creating Mikami? Ohba: I wanted to make it clear that this is an evil guy who uses the Death Note and reveres Kira. But at the same time, I didn't want to focus on what's right and wrong. That's why I also didn't show much about people's reaction to Kira and hardly revealed what kind of people the Kira worshippers were. So because Mikami was a Kira worshipper, I paid special attention to his first appearance. Q: Had you always planned on reintroducing Takada? Ohba: I thought about wanting to around the time of the Mello and Near introductions... but I soon forgot about her (laughs). I eventually remembered while preparing for a Jump interview. And I really liked how she reappeared as a news anchor. Q: Why did she originally appear back when Light was in college? Ohba: She was camouflage for Light to hide his relationship with Misa. I figured she could be someone who would go well with Light, and that's why I made her the school idol. I probably reintroduced her because I could never forget "refined Takada" (laughs).

How to Draw - Takeshi Obata Design Concept - Teru Mikami I was told that he's supposed to be a stoic character similar to Light, so I kept that in mind when designing him. Because at the time I wasn't aware he was a Kira worshipper, I based him on the main character in the pilot story (for Death Note), Taro Kagami. Later on, I drew him as an insane fanatic. Also, glasses are in these days, so I had Mikami be glasses wearer. Things were a little haphazard at that point... Design Concept - Kiyomi Takada I'm not very good with female characters, so the Takada in college didn't have much thought put into her (laughs). For the Mello and Near arc, I pretty much just aged her up, but it was very difficult. I was thinking, "this doesn't look like her" when I was drawing her (laughs). In some ways, I tried to make her clothes contrast with Misa's. I think I chose the more formal clothes she wears because of her job as a news announcer.

2026-09-06 19:00 Anime Changes * The anime added in Mello watching Demegawa's raid on TV * The anime added in the scene of Aizawa brooding over his suspicion of Light and talking with his daughter. * The anime cut out an entire plotline where Mello and Near use Mogi (the Japanese task force member with the large build and somewhat spiky hair) to further their investigation on Kira. There's A LOT that was lost as result, but I'll try to summarize as best I can. After Light's discussion with the detectives about Near idea of writing Mello's name to test the 13 day rule, Mello contacts Mogi to meet up with him in New York. Light and co. go along with Mello's demands for the sake of bettering their odds of capturing him. It's revealed that Mello actually guided Mogi straight to the SPK HQ, where he intends to use Near by letting him question Mogi all he wants while Mello listens in over the phone. This way both Near and Mello can presumably get crucial details while Mello gets to maintain his safety. Despite Near's questioning, Mogi remains silent. Mogi's reluctance to cooperate leads Mello to deduce that Kira must be among the Japanese task force. A couple days after these events, Demegawa leads his raid on SPK HQ. Mogi escapes with Near and the others, after which Near comes up with a trick to tell Light and co that Mogi died via a Kira-induced heart attack to put pressure on Light and raise the Japanese detectives' suspicion of him. Aizawa discusses things further with Ide in private, and heads out to the SPK to talk with Near in person and reunite with Mogi (who Near revealed as being alive after to Aizawa over a call Light wasn't listening to). * Teru's killing of Demegawa and the leaders he was about to announce is dramatized in the anime. Like, really dramatized. * The manga had Teru's backstory told by a third person narrator, not Teru himself. * The above mentioned in-person meetup between Near and Aizawa never happens in the anime and a lot of discussion about their deductions made out of suspicion of Light was removed. * The manga had Mogi and Aizawa discuss plans to reinvestigate Misa thanks to Near's deductions as they were heading back to LA. Mogi wasn't taken hostage in the anime, so this was removed. * While not being a "huge" character in the manga, Mello's has an associate (named Matt) that gets so much screentime cut out to the point where one could say the anime damn near erases him out altogether. Various conversations and moments of them observing the ongoing interactions between the main cast to allow the reader to understand where Mello's investigation is at are too numerous to detail piece by piece. * The anime cut out a scene of TV stations trying to campaign for who would replace Demegawa as Kira's new spokesperson. * A scene where Near and the SPK discuss Takada was removed. Rester claims that Kira followers are far more loyal to Takada because she's a woman and thus comes off as them as the "goddess" to their "god". Near says that despite being a "good student", the apparent joy Takada is getting from being the new Kira spokesperson makes her an idiot. * I can't remember if this was a dub change or not, but the manga has Light acknowledge Teru's decision to start deleting lazy people a bit differently. The manga has Light suggest that he actually AGREES with Teru's idea that people who are not contributing to society will only begin making society worse. His words imply that the issue is that Teru is just getting to that point "too soon".

It's revealed that Mello actually guided Mogi straight to the SPK HQ, where he intends to use Near by letting him question Mogi all he wants while Mello listens in over the phone. This way both Near and Mello can presumably get crucial details while Mello gets to maintain his safety. Despite Near's questioning, Mogi remains silent. Mogi's reluctance to cooperate leads Mello to deduce that Kira must be among the Japanese task force. A couple days after these events, Demegawa leads his raid on SPK HQ. Mogi escapes with Near and the others, after which Near comes up with a trick to tell Light and co that Mogi died via a Kira-induced heart attack to put pressure on Light and raise the Japanese detectives' suspicion of him. Aizawa discusses things further with Ide in private, and heads out to the SPK to talk with Near in person and reunite with Mogi (who Near revealed as being alive after to Aizawa over a call Light wasn't listening to). * Teru's killing of Demegawa and the leaders he was about to announce is dramatized in the anime. Like, really dramatized. * The manga had Teru's backstory told by a third person narrator, not Teru himself. * The above mentioned in-person meetup between Near and Aizawa never happens in the anime and a lot of discussion about their deductions made out of suspicion of Light was removed. * The manga had Mogi and Aizawa discuss plans to reinvestigate Misa thanks to Near's deductions as they were heading back to LA. Mogi wasn't taken hostage in the anime, so this was removed. * While not being a "huge" character in the manga, Mello's has an associate (named Matt) that gets so much screentime cut out to the point where one could say the anime damn near erases him out altogether. Various conversations and moments of them observing the ongoing interactions between the main cast to allow the reader to understand where Mello's investigation is at are too numerous to detail piece by piece. * The anime cut out a scene of TV stations trying to campaign for who would replace Demegawa as Kira's new spokesperson. * A scene where Near and the SPK discuss Takada was removed. Rester claims that Kira followers are far more loyal to Takada because she's a woman and thus comes off as them as the "goddess" to their "god". Near says that despite being a "good student", the apparent joy Takada is getting from being the new Kira spokesperson makes her an idiot.

I wish I had Near's monitor setup to help me put these damn notes of mine together.

JT

Since I assume the final three episodes will be covered together, I guess that means there's only two weeks of Death Note left. Given how much was removed from the ending, it looks like I got some work to do.

JT

Oh yeah, I guess MP 100 and DN are just paralleling each other this week. We got Teru in MP 100 giving Light Yagami vibes and now we have some other shithead here who also goes by Teru lol

JT

BTW just making a dedicated note here that pretty much everyone except Near is back in Japan. The anime cut out a lot of dialogue cues/minor scenes that suggested when characters were heading out of the U.S.

"Oooooh, how much is $10 million in apples?!" We love you, Ryuk!

54:00 I wouldn't go taking Teru's wanting to kill lazy people as being motivated by the logic of "people are not applying their personal talents". Given Teru's black and white worldview, I'd argue that he's looking at it more from the idea that people not contributing ANYTHING to society are effectively parasites to civilization. That they're people who are just leeching of the fruits and labor of those who are actively making strides to give back to society, so they're better off being eliminated so the economy isn't being affected by those who aren't participating in it. Of course, I probably don't need to explain why that sentiment is complete horseshit nor why being in a state of unemployment isn't necessarily a result of one being lazy.

JT

Me unleashing my inner Ryuk rn by eating an apple while watching people get pushed slowly towards tragedy in this show

JT

yo Light and Teru can one of u mfs actually help out humanity by deleting the sun to get rid of this heatwave pls and thx

These episodes are such an injustice to our girl Misa! Maybe some of those comments are true but our girl’s heart and love is pure [even if she is a murderer] and she deserves better! All I keep thinking about from these two episodes is that maybe Light is too smart for his own good. He’s really going out on a limb here, assuming he has power over those he sees as his vassals, yet it would be easy for things to turn on him on a dime. Yes, at the moment Mikami is calling him god, but we’re seen that his sense of justice isn’t really about making a new world but exterminating the unworthy, even to the degree of believing his own mother (and only parent) deserved punishment. What would ever happen if Mikami would decide that Light was a flawed god and thus fell into the “evil” category? [“My god has failed me, alas, so he needed to be removed; but I will remain true and continue the mission in purity and in memory of the truth he once believed!”] Light has also kept his identity hidden from Mikami, yet he’s “L” the lead investigator of Kira, which automatically would label him as “evil” if Mikami just happened to discover the investigators’ identities. It would only take a slight mishap here to get Deleted by Mikami, right? (There were some close-up shots in there too where Mikami looked a bit like Light to me, just with glasses and shaggier hair.) Kiyomi doesn’t really seem like a safe bet either, if she realizes she’s being played – even if she feels a connection to Light. Plus, if he could cheat on Misa, what’s to keep him from cheating on her? I feel like Light’s been emboldened by his success with Misa (she really doesn’t question anything), but these are people much more likely to recognize Light’s duplicity and lies. This could really bite Light in the ass. And boy that won’t really bother me, but will seem like just desserts. So Near's logic is impeccable. I love how as soon as he heard that Inspector Yagami said he would kill himself after shooting the Kira suspect that he instinctively knew this meant the two had to be related and in fact was Light's father -- Kira is on the investigation team + being related to the head inspector = Light. There would be no reason for the Inspector to suicide out of shame / love / regret unless there was a familial bond in play that demanded such.

Jennywocky

Oh yeah, you've been soooo slacking off -- maybe put in as much effort as Mikami and his lightning-fast pen!

Jennywocky

With the gods of death not being allowed to have sex with humans OR each other (I love how they had to spell the second rule out!) it's no wonder they develop fetishes with other hungers, like ... apples.

JT

Oh trust me lady when we get to the finale it's gonna be that way lol

Kami_Psy

Random but I’m glad I get to rewatch this with you guys :) It’s been a long while so my memories of these parts with Near, Mellow, Mikami, etc. are a bit spotty.

ArcaneAnomaly

For that last point, that seems to be what happened here in the anime, as well? Are you saying that that wasn't what Light said in the Japanese version of the anime?

ArcaneAnomaly

Yeah, it really is disappointing for Misa. She wasn't as smart as Light or L, but she also wasn't completely stupid. She pulled quite a few pretty brilliant plays back in L's days. Unfortunately, in the second half of the series, she's just a fanservice doll.

JT

Nah I musta missed something. My bad i'll edit it

I live for Bethany’s basketball references loooool

Mikami is a cultist pretty much, though a pretty good looking one at that lol!

Ken was correct in the 99% conviction rate! However, this number *is* heavily skewed. 1 Prosecuting only "winning" cases Prosecutors only prosecute cases they believe have a high probability of conviction based on sufficient evidence 2 The darker side of the system... The police can legally hold a suspect for up to 23 days for an *alleged* offense. No bail. *And* they are allowed to interrogate the suspect without a defense attorney present. The Human Rights Watch has documented detainees describing prolonged questioning, pressure to confess and being re-arrested on a different *alleged* offense once the 23 days are up to keep you for *another* 23 days. This system has a nickname: **"hostage justice."** And while the government denies it vehemently... forced confessions are a thing. There's whole reddit threads of foreigners signing things handed by the Japanese police, only to later learn the thing they signed was actually a written confession. Obviously Reddit being Reddit, YMMV on these stories. But there's enough of them to at least acknowledge there has to be a grain of truth in there. There's also detainees that have come forward how they were pressured or tricked into admitting guilt. And while the government says coerced confessions are legally inadmissible... good luck proving yours was coerced. All of this of course, greatly adds to the ammunition prosecutors have when building their cases. So yeah... Personally, I've had nothing but great experiences with the Japanese police. Of course, my interactions have been limited to asking directions at the neighborhood police box (kōban/交番) during my trips. And there's plenty of jokes that those aren't "real" police and just there to smile and wave and look good in the PR campaigns XD As for the show itself... Mikami is clearly a zealot. And while never outright stated, I've always figured he was autistic. As far as I'm aware there's nothing official about this. But there's a few things in his mannerisms that always made me think so.

This is so crazy its almost over! U guys doing a triple header for the finale?

Definitely Not Definitive

Yeah, all true regarding Misa Misa. And Jenny thought of ways this could back fire on Light that we hadn’t even considered yet… love it! 😍

Definitely Not Definitive

Wow, thank you for all the information around the judicial system and the shadow side of it. Really interesting to learn about.

Definitely Not Definitive

Great way of presenting Teru’s mentality. And yes, you are correct, being unemployed and being lazy are NOT the same thing. Can the two be related? Sure. Are they inherently related? No. And the idea that people who are unemployed, or poor, or struggling are all somehow lazy is a pretty ignorant and even hateful belief IMO.

Definitely Not Definitive

Our triple header is the penultimate release because we always have a lot to talk about at the end of a series and with how good this show has been and all the ideas it has touched on we were worried that three episodes plus the talk back would just be too much for the single release. 🙂

DairuTV

Oh ok that does make sense lol it would be 3 hr video 🤣
