Damn the death note is now in possession of Mello, though good that his sister is safe!

Rather slow episode but it will quite interesting I think in the coming ones!

That was just stupid. Whatever happened to not negotiating with terrorists? Everyone was ready to deliver an extremely dangerous weapon to whomever for the sake of one life. Now Near's team is dead and there's no predicting how many others will die because of the trade. And again they're assuming that the police of different countries have apparently jurisdiction all over the world. Well, I guess it's not any more of a fantasy than the idea that the whole police force would be obeying some faceless teenage detective who's helped with a couple of cases.

I honestly think this series should have stopped in this form at the death of L. They should have then done a second season were these kids could be built up as adversaries. It just doesn't feel like Death Note anymore, it's more like something out of Bourne.

Even though they lost the Note, I'm still glad Sayu was fine. Hated Mello from the start and hope he gets owned by N. Also glad to see a new shinigami is coming to town lol.

Man, they should have just like made a duplicate notebook with 2 pages from the real death note. Then he would have confirmed it worked but have only 2 pages to work with at least.

It's not like Light wants to protect Sayu. It's just that he can't put the blame on Kira if he kills her

This one was just fine. The two orphans weren't so annoying as they were in last episode. Maybe the story can get interesting for me again.
I was glad that Sayu and her Daddy made it. But with Sayu having been only a returning guest star so far, the drama didn't really get to me.

While I don't mind the new storyline with Mello and Near, I do feel it has been implemented too quickly. I have no idea who these people are and suddenly they're main characters. Just a bit too speedy after L's death in my opinion.

Well then the anime is interesting quite a lot. I guess all who didn't like it was because of L's death. What a shame :D.

So N and L2 will finally cooperate. I have a feeling that Kira's new objective is to use N to get the notebook back and then to find out N/Near's name to get rid of him too.

The new Shinigami will prove to become a problem.

(Edit: I misspelled Near's name xD)

Frankly, I was happy to see Light wasn't willing to kill his sister - since he regained the death note in episode 24, it's become increasingly different for me to justify him. He's descended further and further into malice and madness. The fact he wouldn't kill his sister shows he's still human.

On that note, it's equally nice to see not even Light wins all his battles. I'd say he's lost his touch after six years.

Definitely doesn't give the same taste without L, but more or less, as pointed out he's still there. I am quite satisfied that Mello got Light puzzled and left him helpless. Light killing Sayu would be indeed very low, but since he wasn't hesistant because she's his sister but because he couldn't blame it on Kira, I see no difference...

It'd be correct to say, he became rusty after years of no challenge since L, hence he lost his first 'battle'. Way to go, Mello!

this is awesome i love mellow and near they are fantastic.. near don't show it much but you can see he is pissed to hear L's death , everybody has their own way of expressing themselves ...

mellow showed that he is upset and is very sad about L's passing but near showed it by calling people who fail are a losers you can see near desperately trying to finish L puzzle that means NEAR want to find out what happen to L very badly and catch the guy whose responsible for Killing such a great man.

NEAR wont say these things but his actions speaks louder than his words i mean NEAR was ready to work with MELLOW just to finish "kira case" from these actions you can tell how much love admiration mellow and near has for L .

they don't care about anyone but L and his case its like mellow and near are trying to get some comfort after " the shocking death of L ".

i love this episode light being the dumb ass that he really is . if you think about it the only reason light is still free is because of a god of death ... light didn't do anything on his own face to face like L, light just use people and things around him for his own advantage.

L always kicked light's ass and left a chain behind . L made misa pissed with a tv message and made 2nd kira and light meet so he could catch light. also i believe when L knew 2nd kira and 1st kira light have met now their is a possibility that he will die then L WANTED TO MAKE SURE HIS DEATH IS USEFUL that's why L met with misa after her confinement ended.

then when L found out about the death gods existence L knew his time is near( L got this from REM'S hesitance to answer his questions or the way REM answered them basically the way REM acted in front of them)

all i am saying is when L knew 2 and 1 kira is working together he will die because of 2nd kira's power.

so L made sure from out side world the only people who knew L instead of the cops( which L and watari trusts fully) are L's prime suspects light and misa so if he die its because of them and them only.

L USED HIS OWN DEATH FOR L ADVANTAGE ! thats the only reason why L let misa get close to the team and see him after she was free from confinement doing this narrow's down everything and makes things easy for near and mellow who L knew would come after kira !

this shows how much L love and care about everyone in wammy's house and how much everyone who knew L love L to no end :3 !

Man, Mello is an asshole. And the mafia boss is some ruthless guy, let me tell ya. He went all grandfather on these guys. And still enough resources for a missile!

I must recognize, it feels different now. But that's because it's no longer "Light hunts L". It's "everyone hunts Kira and Light trying to look like he's hunting Kira". It's just that simple.

I am just watching the series for the first time, and during this episode, I feel like I missed something somewhere. How exactly do Near & Mello know about the death note? I thought it was a secret that only the people who originally worked with L on the case in Japan are aware of? Or was the entire record that L recorded that was kind of a recap of things a couple episodes ago, was that whole thing part of the transmission to the orphanage along with the message that L is dead? If that's the case, I think the death note was mentioned in those recordings, so maybe that's how, but I was just feeling a little unsure.

I don’t understand those complaining about L’s death. Yes I miss him too, but it also makes the series more realistic. The good guys don’t always win, especially when your adversary has supernatural powers.

It's episodes like this that really make me realize Light was corrupted by the Death Note, but he still has that innate ability to manipulate others. If it wasn't this case that he caused, he would be a fine corporation owner.

It's been a long time since Light lose.

Meh, Mello will just gonna be another Higuchi with more brain cells. And Mello should be arrested now that he killed some of the SPK.

Near is hiding something from Light, that means he suspected him.

I wonder if Misa's love for Light will change now....

Oh boi another shinigami incoming...

Still not too fond of the new bad guys. I don't know, the series lost... "something". It's like a different one now.

I don't quite get why Light was even considering using his piece of paper. His father was all alone in the middle of a desert, no one that could'he helped him; there was no one who Light could've killed so as to not lose the death note.

As much as I hate Misa, it's rough seeing her treated that badly. It seems she will eventually open her eyes.

I am a little confused at the developments. The bit with missile and helicopter completely flew over my head.

Still find the thrill though, but have to admit, this episode felt weaker than all the previous episodes until now, which were 11/10 , while this one is 8/10.

I'm hoping it'll pick up from next episode.

Like others have mentioned this series wouldve been better if it had split in 2 seasons. L was the Light's main antagonist and he died pretty unceremoniusly. I don't hate the new characters but they feel kinda random and rushed. I feel like they could've skipped the whole Yotsuba arc and had L one season and the new characters another.

so after killing off an important, STAR, well-loved character why would the character design of the "successor" be so similar - and it doesn't even stop there why does near have to have weird quirky obsessive mannerisms that sort of mirror ryuzaki's???? is it necessary?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

confused i mean if the creator wants us to take a liking to these new characters, why would they do that? so if you are an intellectual genius detective you have GOT to embody the mannerisms of ryuzaki?? k...

it was a good & exciting episode but death note's just not the same

maybe because L died? N is interesting though. but in detective work he's just meh.

i wish we could have something as good as those first 13 episodes. those were a win.

I wish Death Note got some episodes with only showcasing the aftermath of Light's successful victory against L and show the world truly change throughout the years due to his success while taking over the role as the new L in the process. Since whatever is happening now, feels so out of place with the first 25 episodes I've seen due to a lack of a genuine transition and epilogue to that victory. Doesn't help that Near is just L 2.0 in terms of attitude and presence, so it makes the L victory feel less impactful and epic in the long run. At least a bit of humanity is still there in Light by declining the easy route by killing his sister off when he had the chance with a piece of the Death Note tucked inside the watch where he was tempted to write her name down. However now that the Death Note is in the hands of Mello and his crew, they're already gunning down most of Near's SPK team in the process. Childish competition holding the fate of the world in that game.

So Light being L is helping Near/N to catch Mello who is toying with N to see who catches Kira i.e. Light first. Damn Light was ready to kill Sayu. O_O

Also Light lost the other deathnote. Looks like Ryuk's shinigami friend is gonna need his note back.
