"I... am Kira." "Hey, Higuchi!" "Higuchi!" "Higuchi!" "Just as planned." "The human whose name is written in this Note shall die." "If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack." "If the person using the Note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other, then the user will die." "people to be killed user will die" "Man arrested on suspicion of being Kira dies" "Breaking News" "Breaking News Kira Arrested" "We have a breaking story." "In the middle of the Kira Special broadcast" "Man Arrested on Suspicion of Being Kira Dies" "Breaking News" "Breaking News Kira Arrested a man forced his way into the TV station with a handgun and was arrested by police." "Public Prosecutor Mikami Teru" "The 37-year old suspect, Higuchi Kyosuke AKA Kira, died immediately after." "The police are currently investigating it as a suicide." "Did you see it, too, sir?" "Yes." "I wonder if that man really is Kira..." "It seems the police secured a piece of evidence." "Like a weapon?" "I don't know." "A comparison of the names of criminals written in this notebook, as well as those written because their deaths benefited Yotsuba, are a perfect match for the suspicious deaths that actually occurred." "Can you kill people just by writing a person's name in this thing?" "That's what the first page says." "Write their name, and they'll die within forty seconds." ""If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack."" "Then why did Higuchi die?" "Higuchi's name isn't written in there." "And Amane, suspected of being the second Kira, was under surveillance the entire time, right?" "Yes." "I can't imagine she could have killed him with a heart attack." "Then we must assume it was suicide?" "L doesn't know." "Death Note pages can still be used, even if they've been torn out." "What are you doing?" "Cool!" "What's that?" "A hidden Death Note?" "Higuchi Kyosuke" "Higuchi!" "Higuchi!" "Light-kun, is there something wrong with your watch?" "No, it's fine." "If we're going to start investigating Higuchi now, can we get one thing clear first?" "Judging by the rules written in there," "Light-kun and Amane-san's innocence is proven, isn't it?" ""If the person using the Note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other, then the user will die."" "Light-kun and Amane-san were in holding here for two weeks." "If either of them was Kira, they'd have to be dead right now!" "That is indeed true." "Then..." "They're both 100% innocent." "I'm sorry for doubting you for so long." "Now the doubts about us have been completely lifted." "Thank you, Ryuga." "All thanks to that fake rule." "I don't wanna." "It's not for my sake." "You'll do anything as long as it's interesting, right?" "What do I gotta write?" ""If the person using the Note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other, then the user will die."" "And one other thing." "There's another thing?" ""If a person makes this notebook unusable by tearing it up or burning it all the humans who have touched the Death Note will die," it says, too." "L and Light have both touched it." "Which means there's no way to dispose of the notebook." "L touching it was within the scope of my expectations." "Now they won't be able to dispose of the notebook." "We'll keep the killer notebook under strict security here in the countermeasures office." "Yagami-san." "Please mount an inquiry on the other Yotsuba executives at once." "And run an on-site inspection before the night is over." "Sure." "You can finally go home, huh?" "Yes." "We'll just tell Sayu my trip got extended." "Why not stay on your trip a bit longer?" "A great number of problems remain, such as an in-depth analysis of this killer notebook." "I was hoping that this time you would lend me your aid as a friend." "I can't have L investigating the Death Note unchecked." "He'll find out about the fake rules." "Got it." "Dad, you heard him." "Yagami-san, it would be a favor to me, as well." "Okay." "Aizawa and Matsuda, go to the scene." "Himura-san, check the forensics one more time." "Mogi and I will hold the inquiry on the Yotsuba executives." "By the way, Ryuga." "I think you can probably see it..." "Yes." "Until we can be sure there's no danger, we can't tell the others." "It seems only those who have touched the killer notebook can see it." "That thing there." "Shinigami-san." "Is this your notebook?" "Can I really kill a person by writing their name in there?" "Maybe it can't hear you?" "Or it's pretending it can't hear me, so it doesn't end up saying anything it shouldn't." "Rem, I saved Misa as I promised." "I know." "I have no intention of standing in your way." "Shinigami-san." "Is there another notebook like this somewhere—" "It disappeared?" "Rem, that's just fine." "Next I'll go to recover the missing Death Note." "Using that, I'll finish things with L." "Light, you're not going home yet?" "Yeah." "I agreed to help with the investigation." "Isn't that dangerous?" "Will you be okay?" "Don't worry." "I'm sorry..." "You still don't remember?" "But I don't care why we started dating." "It doesn't change the fact that I love you!" "You'll remember it all soon enough." "There's a place I want you to go, and something I want you to pick up there." "You must go alone." "You must not tell anyone." "You don't need the surveillance anymore, do you?" "It's an unconscious habit." "Matsuda!" "Go buy us lunch." "Not happening." "Not happening?" "!" "You're my underling." "Don't call me an underling." "It's also your turn." "We don't do lunch based on turns!" "Look at what I'm doing right now!" "I'm busy!" "What's the matter?" "Oh, sorry..." "I saw you embracing Amane-san earlier." "Did your memories return?" "You forgot why you started dating, didn't you?" "Do you still suspect me?" "No." "I merely find it curious." "If Misa touches the Death Note and recovers her memories this time, she will discover your name and I will bury you." "I've torn out all the pages I've used from here, so there's no evidence remaining." "Hey, Light." "Why do I gotta carry the red one?" "There's no problem with you and Rem getting opposite notebooks, is there?" "That's right." "There is no issue with shinigami trading notebooks." "For real?" "Red's just so not my style, y'know!" "Red is..." "Awesome!" "It's not Rem, but Ryuk who has the red Death Note." "Ryuk doesn't care what happens to Misa's lifespan, so he'll let her trade for shinigami eyes again." "Misa is going to see your name with her shinigami eyes." "Huh?" "Is this it?" "A notebook?" "Matsuda-san, you skipped one case." "Oh, I missed that." "Light-kun is more with it than you are." "Get it together, Matsuda!" "I'm sorry!" "Misa should have dug up the notebook by now." "Shinigami..." "Let's make a trade." "Hey, Ryuga." "Would you like to go out to dinner with me and Misa tonight?" "This trade of his..." "Maybe it's a trade to let him know someone's name just by seeing their face?" "Why do you want to have dinner?" "You've finally cleared us of suspicion, so I wanted to introduce you to Misa properly, as a friend." "Yes?" "Yes..." "Light-kun." "It seems dinner will be impossible." "Why?" "I'm afraid she's been attacked by a thug." "What?" "Did you see the face of the man who attacked you?" "I didn't." "It was all so sudden." "What were you doing in the middle of the forest?" "Um..." "Misa!" "Light!" "I'm a friend of hers." "Could you leave us alone together for a minute?" "Sure." "I'll be back later to get her statement." "Light..." "Are you hurt?" "I'm fine." "Um... about the notebook..." "Did you finally remember?" "Huh?" "Remember what?" "Remember what?" "Where's the notebook?" "I'm sorry." "It got stolen." "The Death Note... was stolen?" "I didn't tell you to attack the girl." "What was I supposed to do?" "There was no solid evidence left in her apartment to mark the girl as suspicious." "I was pretty desperate!" "Oh, that?" "It's like a notebook or something." "I didn't look inside it, though." "You didn't even check it?" "It was enough for a straight-laced guy like you to ask for my services." "It must be something pretty dangerous, right?" "Okay..." "Misa, by the time you read this letter, you likely will have remembered everything." "Do you remember me taking L to your concert?" "This time please see his name, write it in here, and kill him." "Burn this letter immediately after reading it." "Kira" "Kira..." "Please, Dad!" "I want to find out who attacked Misa!" "I told you, it's out of our jurisdiction." "Don't ask the impossible." "I need to get the Death Note back before it falls into the police's hands!" "Was anything taken?" "Chief, should I investigate Amane-san's incident?" "If I tell them Light-kun is with me, there'll be no problem if we go together, right?" "Matsuda-san..." "Matsuda's not much help alone, though." "I'm asking on their behalf, too." "Thank you, Mogi-san." "Please, Dad." "But L's asked for your help, too." "Light-kun can do both." "Tell me when and where Amane-san was attacked." "The security cameras in the area may have caught something." "Thanks." "Yudagawa" "Here it is." "L really is amazing." "He found the suspect that quickly." "Yes." "I've got to find the other Death Note as quickly as possible." "So sorry for the wait!" "Excuse me!" "What kind of man is Yudagawa-san?" "Did he do something?" "Apparently he used to work for a detective agency or something, but now I don't know what he's doing!" "You can't touch anything!" "We don't have a warrant." "No pictures either?" "No!" "Oh, Yudagawa-san!" "Debt collectors?" "No, they're from the police!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Let me go!" "Yesterday..." "Yesterday, did you go to the forest in Hachioji?" "Did you steal the container she dug up?" "It's him." "Light-kun!" "Are you okay?" "Personal Information Report Name:" "Yudagawa Hiroki Date of Birth:" "June 12th, 1984 (31 years old) Residence: 7-6-2 Tonoji, Nakano District, Tokyo Excel Apartments Room 206 Employment History 2007" " Joined Agility Detective Agency 2011" " Left Agility Detective Agency Currently unemployed" "Isn't Yudagawa the most suspicious?" "Should I ask him for you?" "If what he stole from Amane-san was a Death Note?" "That's what you think, isn't it?" ""If the person using the Note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other, then the user will die."" "That makes the two of them completely innocent." "Because of this rule..." "Hey, L, about what you said before..." "Near, how long do you plan on staying in Japan?" "Until the Kira incident is solved." "You should leave that to L." "Now, I made your favorite!" "Watari's special cake!" "It looks delicious!" "The one who puts in the final piece might not be me." "It could be you, Near." "Hey." "Is L okay?" "Uonome Norifumi, 48 years old." "Wanted for robbery and sexual assault." "A heinous criminal, right?" "Kira's favorite." "Someone's using the other Death Note." "But who?" "Uonome Norifumi was trash we were unable to indict due to insufficient evidence." "What a blessing I've been given." "Ryuk." "So?" "What will you do?" "Isn't it obvious?" "A new hero is born!" "I'm not talkin' to you." "I want a lawyer!" "Right now!" "Do you?" "That's a shame." "Welcome!" "Hey there, man." "Good thing for me that prosecutor was a kid." "Shibuya-san?" "Shibuya-san!" "What's wrong?" "Shibuya-san!" "Personal Information Report Utado Shibuya" "Another unindictable?" "We know he's guilty, but we have to release him." "That's a shame." "Wanted Suspect Information" "Delete." "Delete." "Delete." "Wanted Suspect Information" "Delete." "Delete." "Delete." "Delete." "Public Prosecutor Mikami Teru" "Delete." "Delete." "Delete!" "From even just the confirmed cases, we have 47 victims." "Every one of them was announced after Higuchi died." "I'm sure it was Yudagawa who stole the Death Note from Misa." "But is he Kira?" "Which means there's another notebook out there that somebody is using, right?" "Is there any particular pattern amongst the victims?" "They're all suspects in heinous crimes." "So there's a resemblance to the original Kira's judgments." "Has the original Kira revived?" "Or is there an imitator?" "Or this could be the work of one of Kira's worshipers." "Kira's worshipers?" "Could you take me to meet Kira?" "A public prosecutor." "He said he wants to help Kira." "Worshipers?" "Kira had a fansite, didn't he?" "Himura-san, get in contact with the Metropolitan Police Department and reopen that investigation." "Chief, if I can ask..." "That aside, it is a shame that the man who attacked Amane-san escaped, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Though I still don't know for sure if he's the one behind it." "Did you manage to ask him anything?" "No, I didn't get to ask him anything." "I'm praying that you catch the culprit." "I'm going to buy a late dinner at the convenience store." "I'll have the seasonal lunchbox!" "It doesn't matter what he gets!" "Just get large fried chicken boxes all around." "But that's your favorite, Aizawa-san!" "Then I'll get a random selection." "Thanks for going." "No problem." "It hurts..." "Good morning, Amane-san!" "Good morning!" "Hello?" "Light?" "How's your injury?" "It's fine." "Oh, hey." "Did you find the notebook?" "Forget that for now." "Do you remember the public prosecutor who was harassing you the other day?" "Do you know his name?" "Tokyo Area Public Prosecutors Office Public Prosecutor Mikami Teru" "Mikami Teru" "The Legend of Kira, Our Savior" "Thank you, Kira." "How's it feel?"

"And yet, whenever I heard a "thank you" I felt glad to do it." "A thank you, huh?" "But... we don't live in a world where justice always wins." "Stuck-up jerk." "Stop that!" "He's a member of our class!" "What's that, Mikami?" "You're so annoying!" "I thought my mother was on my side." "Things won't always go your way." "There's no reason for you to get beat up too, Teru." "Stop butting in where you're not wanted." "But she wasn't on the side of justice." "That's when a miracle..." "No, a coincidence occurred."

"Formerly of a detective agency." "Three years ago you were arrested for embezzling company funds, but you were released due to insufficient evidence." "But now you're a member of an organization that performs fraudulent investments, aren't you?" "What do you want, you brat?" "Just talk to me honestly." "Shut up!" "You've done it now." "Remember, you're the one who laid a hand on me first." "You get that, you piece of shit?" "!" "It seems Yudagawa stole a notebook from Amane Misa, but he didn't have it." "Where is the notebook?" "I'm sorry." "I couldn't get a name, but he said he gave it to a public prosecutor." "A public prosecutor?" "By the way..." "He's dead." "Public Prosecutor Mikami Teru" "It's a gift for you, apparently." "What is it?" "From someone connected to Amane Misa, apparently." "Amane?" "What you're doing in secret is evil." "Isn't a public prosecutor's job to fight criminals within the scope of the law?" "Take this to the trial clerk." "Yes, sir." "Understood." "Hello?" "What you're doing is not justice." "Who are you?" "But although it is not justice, it must be done." "Because we don't live in a world where justice always wins." "You've done well." "It's a miracle that the Note found its way to someone like you." "Let's fight together." "Let's eliminate those in our way." "Inside that box is the proof of my sincerity to you both." "You both?" "Public Prosecutor Mikami Teru" "Apples?" "Mine now!" "So good!"

"You want to test the notebook?" "Yes." "I thought about negotiating with the Ministry of Justice to see if they would verify it by carrying out death sentences." "I can't approve of that." "Even if they're on death row, they're still people." "If we take their lives indiscriminately, we're no different than Kira." "I thought you'd say that, so I decided not to." "I have brought him." "Hello." "I'm Near." "You saw what Detective Babel could do during the Yotsuba incident." "He may look like a child, but Near is my right hand." "Here." "No family?" "Yes." "L and Near are children I took custody of in a house that I run in England." "L in particular was extremely stubborn and uncooperative." "As a child, he always played by himself." "But it became clear very quickly that he had a special ability." "His investigative skills?" "When L learned about a serial murders with no traces of evidence whatsoever, that sparkle in his eyes..." "Everyone has a mission they were born with, perhaps." "Well, I plan to keep watch over L for as long as I live." "Yagami-san." "I suppose it's a bit late to say this..." "But no matter what happens from now on do not avert your eyes." "What are you planning?" "I'm going to finish things with Kira." "Finish things?" "Yes." "I'm going to bring an end to the Kira investigation." "L." "Why did you introduce me to them?" "You won't lose, will you?" "Let's put in the final piece together." "I'm honored to meet you." "About what you asked for..." "The preparations are complete." "It will be tomorrow." "L..." "Let's finish this." "L, you don't know yet, do you?" "Right now, the prosecutor is coming to legally take the Death Note from you." "Yes?" "This is L. Could you come here a moment?" "Sure." "I'm in the lobby." "I'll be there right away." "No." "Not to the countermeasures office." "What?" "W-Wait!" "Wait a moment!" "A moment, please!" "May I ask who is in charge here?" "I am." "I am Mikami of the Public Prosecutors Office." "Where is the evidence left behind by Higuchi Kyosuke?" "It isn't here." "The evidence is in L's custody, isn't it?" "L isn't here." "He ran off somewhere." "Ryuga." "Sorry to call you out like this." "What are you doing?" "Why did you run away?" "They'll get the wrong idea." "Let's go back." "Light..." "What's going on here?" "L asked me to do this so that you could bear witness." "I'm going to finish things with Kira." "Finish things?" "L..." "So he's prepared to die to finish this." "Stop it!" "Don't say such things." "L and Yagami Light." "Neither will accept defeat." "Why?" "Because whichever one loses, dies." "Before we return to the countermeasures office, will you listen to my inference about this killer notebook?" "What inference?" "Do you want to know?" "The rules are all written in there, aren't they?" "It's about ways of using this Death Note that are not written in here." "Do you think this notebook can kill people even if you tear pages out?" "So he did suspect me." "That's why he brought me here." "He's probably recording us, too." "Don't you think it's interesting?" "Hey, Ryuga..." "If you can kill people by writing their names on torn-out pages..." "Oh, yes..." "I could think of this as mere scraps of paper." "You could even kill someone by forcing them to write their own name in it." "And that's not all." "You can use it to give yourself an alibi." "Alibi?" "Yes." "For instance, if Kira were under surveillance, it wouldn't be impossible to kill people without anybody noticing." "It sounds simple enough when you say it, but..." "If you can do that, if you worked it just right, you could also kill someone any time, anywhere." "For instance, even with everybody watching you..." "Higuchi Kyosuke" "The possibilities of the killer notebook..." "If you use your mind... become infinite." "Is that your inference?" "In addition, the ability to learn someone's name just by looking at their face, like the second Kira, must come with a rather heavy price." "Perhaps that's why first Kira didn't make the trade, because he was afraid of the risk." "Higuchi only acquired the ability after he was cornered." "Shinigami..." "Let's make a trade." "Shiroba Korehito" "I spent some time here putting myself in Kira's shoes, thinking of ways to use this notebook." "And when I did, curiously, a certain person's face sprang to mind." "Although I prayed many times that it not be that person, the more I realized how the notebook could be used, in the end, I still arrived at that person." "Who is it?" "But I have no way of proving it." ""If the person using the Note fails to consecutively write names of people to be killed within 13 days of each other, then the user will die."" "This is..." "This rule alone is a problem." "So Kira is someone close to you, Ryuga?" "That's what I must assume." "He doesn't mean Light-kun, does he?" "That can't be!" "What is L saying?" "Hey, Light-kun..." "Then let's find Kira using a different method." "Together." "We caught Higuchi together, didn't we?" "If we put our heads together, I know we can catch him." "Light-kun." "Come on." "Give me the notebook." "If you try to take the evidence and run, even you will be caught." "Yagami-san, I wanted to talk to you to the end, but we'll leave it at this." "Wh-What does he mean by that?" "What comes now has no connection to the investigation." "Please consider these to be actions I have taken based on my own personal judgment." "What does he plan to do?" "Watari-san, where are they?" "Their lives are at stake." "Please answer me." "Now... which one will return alive?" "L... or Kira?" "!" "What are you planning to do?" "I didn't think it would be like this." "It didn't matter to me who the perpetrator was." "On the contrary, I thought that to solve a crime with no clues at all would be the greatest thrill possible." "Then I met you, and for the first time, I became interested in a person." "Why did you start using this thing?" "Did you lose to the allure?" "The first time you killed someone, it was not fully understanding what the notebook did, right?" "Then you got scared and tried to throw it away, right?" "But you were forced into a situation where you had no choice but to use it." "That was the incident where Yagami Soichiro was taken hostage, wasn't it?" "You have it wrong." "Then Yagami Light became Kira." "No..." "The voices of those who despised crime turned Yagami Light into Kira." "But that's just an excuse, isn't it?" "I want to stop you." "Because we're friends, you know?" "So admit you've lost." "That you're Kira." "There are no more cameras on us!" "If I were Kira, I'd already be dead, wouldn't I?" "That rule written in the notebook..." "That proves it, doesn't it?" "If this is for real." "Hey." "You've gone too far to turn back under your own power now, is that it?" "So I'll stop you myself." "Ya" "If you write my name, you'll die, too!" "Then let's meet in the afterlife in thirteen days." "Yagami" "Stop it." "Yagami Li" "Stop writing!" "Let me go!" "Then admit you've lost!" "Stay out of my way!" "Listen to me!" "Justice always wins!" "You don't know my name, do you?" "It's not possible." "You can't kill me." "Will you admit you've lost and atone for your crimes..." "Or write your own name in there and die?" "Whichever you choose, you've lost." "Give up, Yagami Light!" "finally have it..." "Ryuga." "No..." "No." "L. Lawliet." "L. Lawliet." "What comes now has no connection to the investigation." "Please consider these to be actions I have taken based on my own personal judgment." "God..." "I can't afford to lose to you." "I'm creating a perfect world, without crime." "To see that happen, I..." "Light-kun..." "I..." "I've decided there's nothing I won't do!" "L..." "If I could have..." "I would have wanted to show you, too..." "The world Kira would create..." "If I could have..." "I'd have wanted..." "I'd have wanted to be your friend forever." "This was how it had to be." "Goodbye." "L. Lawliet." "He's alive?" "How?" "How is he still alive?" "The curtain is rising on a new world." "Creating a world without criminals, where only kind-hearted people can live." "And I will be the god of this new world."
