C&C - Death Note "Renewal" [4/19]

[Ishtar]

This episode: With L, Rem and Watari gone, Light seems to no longer have anybody in his way of creating his "perfect world". What will the investigation team do now with L dead?

I found the recap pretty nice and it brought back quite a few memorable moments from the past 25 episodes. Light creeped me out when he was on the rooftop going through a killing frenzy. I actually felt kinda bad for when Aiber and the remaining Yotsuba members died, I don't know why. Interesting that the episode ends with he introduction of more new characters.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Half-Recap! After an episode like last weeks it's only to be expected. I think it's actually well placed in the series though.
I like seeing Ray again <3 And Light in handcuffs? tehehe. Ohh and Light in the car with crazy papa. That was such fun. Those sure were the days~
That bastard killed my baby Reiji from Yotsuba, too? Evil!! And poor Aiber


But- Oh ho ho, who was that blond female looking boy standing at the end? Is he one of my favorite characters perhaps? Perhaps, perhaps... *munches on chocolate*
^________^
Interesting voice choice for him though. David Hurwitz was listed in the credits as Mello's VA but I think its much too calm. The Japanese was better.

Well you win half the internet my dear for being a fan of the most badarse of characters in Death Note.
[He may have a femininity to a extent but he makes it up in his actions and attitude.
[Yet ..I too think there is some Shonen-Ai connection between him and another great (Yet rarely seen) character.]

Honestly, I hadn't heard the Japanese VA yet, but it was just one line.
If this Hurwitz guy can pull of the attitude and arrogance then I say WIN.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

XD *glances to her sig*
If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, you must mean my favorite favorite death note character who loves him some girly blond gangster [who is equally fantastic] behind! Made possible by the best doujinshi around.
Finally!!! Somebody who thinks he's great too! I can't find many. Sooo he was around for only like...10 minutes. Screw the rules, dammit.
*worships*

If this Hurwitz guy can pull of the attitude and arrogance then I say WIN. See I really hope so aswell but for some reason I don't think he can. He sounds too 'normal. Maybe I'm judging too quickly by just one line. I probably am.

I relatively just think he was the "Cool" dude who appeared for like 10 minutes.

But eh.
I've became more of a fanboy of that Blonde haired arrogant badass than I was of Light who I pulled for to the end of..uhm. The first Part.

[FinnMacCool]

Lots of cool stuff here, but the most awesome moment was when Misa shouted "Victory is mine!" Seriously, if Light and Misa have a baby, it will probably turn out like Stewie Griffin.

[danreyes1]

Light is the world's biggest bastard.

2012? Isn't that a little late to send the "L is dead" signal?

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Light is the world's biggest bastard.

2012? Isn't that a little late to send the "L is dead" signal?

I don't think the years are that far apart-

Light says its 2012 when the two boys receive the 'L is Dead' message. On the 'How To Read' manga guide it reveals the date another certain character dies which is in 2010. But that's impossible if hes clearly alive in the video and it says 2012. Soooo I'm lost. I think considering the events and the times of deaths, [going by the manga guide] it should still be fairly close to the date of L's departure. Maybe a year? Not even?


Also, if he was young, around 21 or 22 during the episodes with L/ joining the investigation team and now is 23 when joining the national police agency, it still couldn't have been all too long.

That might be a bit spoiler filled-ish. Sorry sorry >_< I tried not to mention any names.

[Rolling Cloud]

This episode was just.........WTheck!! (Warn me next time you decide to **** around with the timeline, G zass! >_>)

Though, things just got a whole lot more interesting imo.

[Martianinvader]

So.......it's 2012 now, but it was 2007 before then? I'd say he's a little older than 23....

[Jacob T. Paschal]

The comic began in 2003 and ran through 2004 for the first half of the series, and the second half begins in 2009 and 2010 with the final chapter ending with in the year 2011.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

So.......it's 2012 now, but it was 2007 before then? I'd say he's a little older than 23....

They directly said it in the episode. They screwed around with the time period of the anime to fit the manga.

[Jacob T. Paschal]

I'd say he is too but they directly said it in the episode. They screwed around with the time period of the anime to fit the manga.

What it is is that the Anime adds four years to the comic dates.

[Rocketboy]

I always thought Mellow was a woman until the anime came out. I was really shocked by his deep voice.

[Neo Ultra Mike]

You know, though Death Note is a shonen show, it certainly dosen't feel like one at times. Not because of it's far more morally ambigious "hero" or it's lack of any earth shattering battles but due to it's pacing and characterization. So even when it has flashback epsiodes, it dosent' feel like a shonen flashback. These flashback feels like the kind we've gotten in Trigun or Samurai Champloo: The flashbacks pertaining clips of what we've seen so far as sort of a "halfway point" or something about the journey catalouging the series from a specific view. In this case, L's investigation of the Kira case until his death. So though it was kind of lame to have half the episodes be flashbacks, they're more respectable then shonen's. Or even SC or Tri's flashbacks since other stuff happened afterward. We find out Light has become the new L to the task force memebers and has moved operations to his new apartment room (living with Misa though I doubt he'd make full "advantage" of that siutation, heh heh), deciding that now it's time to start really enacting the reach of his new rule by killing even more people then before, from Yotsuba to even those replacement task force associates to a whole bunch of ugly criminals (seriously you see the close ups of those guy? Really disgusting looking people). And so it seems that the world is heading toward's Kira's reign (with a time skip of what five years then? Hope it's better then Blood+'s time skip). That is until the very end where Roger and two kids got the news of L's death. Yeah pretty sure they'll play a part in this story pretty soon and may be able to challenge Light's supreme new sense of justice afterall. Guess we'll seen. For now, sort of decent ep. Well handled or not I'm taking off points for it being a clip show for half the time (even though I knew it was coming based off last week's preview), even if it may of been the last chance we could hear L again.

Or even SC or Tri's flashbacks since other stuff happened afterward.

The difference in handling flashbacks isn't really between shonen and non-shonen, but between long series and limited run series.

Death Note, Trigun, Samurai Champloo: all short series (DN is the longest at 37 episodes), that are either not based on a manga (Champloo), take great liberties in adapting the manga (Trigun), or adapted from a completed manga series.

Naruto, Bleach, Dragonball Z: all long series (numbering in the hundreds of episodes each), that are highly faithful adaptations of manga series that continued to be published years into the series.

The series you listed don't need to insert tons of flashbacks because (a) they only air for 1 to 1.5 years, so viewers' memories don't get as hazy, and (b) they don't have to slow down the pace so that the manga maintains its lead time.

[Beefy]

Bad Light. How could you kill Wedy?

Looks like L had a dead man's switch.

I liked the recap where they show you Light's earlier mistakes and how they led L to zero in on him has a Kira suspect.

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Uh oh. L just died. Anyone got an M? Or an N? Or an O maybe? ...Seriously, I'd take a W.

Recap episode.

That glomp is still funny.

...and the Angel was destroyed.

And Light takes over the effort to capture...himself.

Light: "I'll take it!!"

Though if your father peeks in the notebook and recognizes your handwriting...

VICTOREEEE! VICTOREE FOR MISA!! :zim:

Oh what a beautiful moooorning,
Oh what a beautiful daaaaay!
I've got a wonderful feeeeeling,
Everything's going my waaaaaaaay...

Aww, that blonde thief was kinda cute!!

In Kira we trust, all others pay with their lives.

¿Qué es esto?

Dang this show's getting interesting.

[FlyByNite77]

It'll be nice to watch an anime on CN that I don't know what's coming (from having watched a sub, or already owned the DVD, or read the manga) since right after L died I pretty much stopped reading the Death Note manga.

[LordTerminal]

I absolutely love that narration. Makes you think it's over, doesn't it?

[MattThomasM2B]

Ugh, seeing the twins like that....ugh...

(Wow, this aired in 2006-2007. Must've thought we'd rebuild them perfectly. I wish...)

Anyway! Sorta bleh episode. At least it wasn't all a recap, but nothing important here.

[NahMan85]

VICTOREEEE! VICTOREE FOR MISA!! :zim:
Damn if I'm right this line just made me realize how this series is going to end.

[Megaman X]

Time skip!? Ok.... >_> so we are in the year 2012? Where everyone is starting to accept Kira for what he does? Oh gosh that actually freaked me out for a second. I was thinking the series was actually over and Light actually won... which would be a terrible ending if you ask me..

And lol about Misa living with Light.. here comes 100 hyperactive children who want to be the god of the new world...

Really I am surprised Light did not kill Misa,Matsuda, and the rest of the squad since he was already killing so many people..

[PickHut]

You know, for a second there, I thought they weren't able to fit that entire recap within the first half. Pretty fitting moment for a recap, though. Of course, it wouldn't be Death Note if Light wasn't there to screw with it.

Obviously, Light continues going on his killing spree afterwards, but I was surprised how long it went on without any interference. Next episode should be interesting with what they did at the end of this one.

[Master Moron]

Half-Recap! After an episode like last weeks it's only to be expected. I think it's actually well placed in the series though.
I like seeing Ray again <3 And Light in handcuffs? tehehe. Ohh and Light in the car with crazy papa. That was such fun. Those sure were the days~
That bastard killed my baby Reiji from Yotsuba, too? Evil!! And poor Aiber


But- Oh ho ho, who was that blond female looking boy standing at the end? Is he one of my favorite characters perhaps? Perhaps, perhaps... *munches on chocolate*


He's a boy?

[Megaman X]

He's a boy?

Man what is up with boys looking like girls in anime? Do the writers of the anime have to have one boy character look like a girl for the fun of if it?o_O

[Master Moron]

Really I am surprised Light did not kill Misa,Matsuda, and the rest of the squad since he was already killing so many people..

Yeah, wasn't he going to punish Misa for killing those innocent news reporters? Then again, Light's whole plan to give the notebook to a third Kira resulted in several innocent businessmen's deaths, so to be fair Light would have to kill himself.

I guess he figures he can let the rest of the investigators live since they're two stupid to figure out that he's Kira. I mean, how come they never tried to go through with L's plan to test out the 13 days rule? It would seem obvious that Rem killed L in order to prevent him from from doing so. Furthermore, only members of the task force no the identities of those two blonde criminals, right? I mean, geez, L constantly suspected Light and then they just hand him control over the task force. They could at least be a little suspicious.

By the way, they show that member of the task force who quit early on in the opening. I assumed he was going to rejoin the task force when they captured the third kira, but he didn't. So, why is he in the opening?

[animePWNS]

Ugh! Did Namikawa of Yotsuba BITE OFF HIS OWN TONGUE?!! That kind of death has sickened me ever since I saw Midnight Express uncut. Even the very mention of it. Just how common a suicide is that in or outside of Japan?

WTC, What The Chr-:ack: no, that would sound really offensive...and blasphemous. Actually, the image really does invoke a sense of terror in this new world. Imagine, actually living in world where even the slightest slip up could get you killed by a madman with a god complex. If Kira isn't a terrorist, I don't know who is. Is it an edited image though? In the manga I remember seeing an exploding building.

Next week: who gets abducted?!

[XOMiss_Samantha]

He's a boy?


XDD Yes. He is. He looks like a girl but he's a boy. Next episode will make it clear- although some of his mannerisms are a bit... odd.

[Kiryu]

Poor Wedy, I was hoping she might be beneath his notice and make it through alive, guess not. :(

I loved the wording at the end of the recap "If you're reading this I'm no longer alive, at the moment" or something along those lines, it sounded so L-like and made me laugh a little.

I knew L would have to have some contingency plan, I guess if he didn't do something on that computer after x amount of time it was set to transmit that message? Even from beyond the grave he's going throw a wrench into Light's plans, I love it!

I keep hearing how awful the rest of the series is and what lame characters the new ones are, but judging by this episode it looks just as interesting to me. And any new people trying to avenge L and take out Light can't be all that bad!

[Jacob T. Paschal]

Arg! Don't tell me there's more changes to the Manga in here!

[Anubis C. Soundwave]

Arg! Don't tell me there's more changes to the Manga in here!

The anime's a bit different from the manga, and both are different that the JPN live-action movie.

[Master Moron]

Though if your father peeks in the notebook and recognizes your handwriting...


I think that was Rem's notebook. I don't think his father knew that Rem had a notebook.

[Jacob T. Paschal]

I think that was Rem's notebook. I don't think his father knew that Rem had a notebook.

I don't think anybody knows of the third note. The task force has one (owned by Light), Light has one (Rem's), and Misa has one (with Ryûk haunting her).

[Lightning Tiger]

Arg! Don't tell me there's more changes to the Manga in here!

the ending is different, its less cool, less complete, and also defies the laws of the death note universe as established by the manga.

[Hyper Shadow X]

Now this is where I had stopped watching the series the first time. Though I'm wondering how the next few eppys will turn out hope their good.

[Megaman X]

Oh come on people... dont ruin this for me! I mean.. o_o first people say Blood+ gets terrible after its time skip..(and it kind of does) now people are saying this about Death note!? Why do time skips always make the anime worse...

[XOMiss_Samantha]

now people are saying this about Death note!? Why do time skips always make the anime worse...

I actually think things are even better after the 'time skip'. It's just as good as when L was alive.
Death Note is MUCH different from Blood+

Don't listen to anybody's opinions until you see it for yourself.

[Dark Moridin]

I always thought Mellow was a woman until the anime came out. I was really shocked by his deep voice.

ok, since i'm not a moderator, (but i am gerenally a nice person), let me ask nicely again.

Can we please use spoiler boxes, since alot of use don't go by any other sources for shows other than what they show on T.V. I myself never heard the name Mellow during this episode, or wondered if he was a boy or girl. I even wait to come to the board until after I watch the T.V. airing so others can talk about actual eppy and i won't spoil myself. So please, on behalf of those of us who are trying to be surprised, please use the boxes.

now onto the actual eppy itself. nice recap, but just that, a recap. since I must have missed the actual dating earlier on (i am assuming there was one) this time skipped confused me a bit. not sure how much time passed. I would ask but am afraid of what spoilage i might get.

Misa's victory was reassuring, since everyone was hoping that Light would kill her now that she doesn't have Rem playing guardian angel. so what have they been doing all that time.

I noticed no one mentioned how Watari seems to be the actual genius around here. not only did he seem to be a super rich inventor (we now know how L got his funding), but also the actual batman of the duo (a reference to my post in last weeks eppy board). he had the determination to press the little hidden keyboard button when having his heart attack, which in my opinion, set this mysterious computer on it's timer to let this 'Roger' know it was time to continue some plan. (I will stop here as everyone else seems to already be talking about it).

[Batmex]

Ugh! Did Namikawa of Yotsuba BITE OFF HIS OWN TONGUE?!! That kind of death has sickened me ever since I saw Midnight Express uncut. Even the very mention of it. Just how common a suicide is that in or outside of Japan?

I think the blood coming out of his mouth was due to the heart attack.

[Megaman X]

Who wants to bet Light has a kid in this messed up time skip >_>?

I mean if Misa has been living with him for that long I wont be surprised at all..

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Who wants to bet Light has a kid in this messed up time skip >_>?


dot dot dot

I'm pretty sure Light doesn't want children or would ever have children. It would screw up his plans. Plus he's 23 and would rather focus more on being a God than being a father. He isn't the type to be called 'daddy'. He's the type of person who's only going to do something for the benefit of himself [ie: using any means necessary to make sure he will always have power]
Light doesn't even like Misa anyways. He's still only using her [so I think he'd take some precautions]

[Jacob T. Paschal]

Why would Light kill Misa? So long as she did what he said he'd have the Shinigami Eyes and a slave to write names for him.

Now I'm not saying if Light does or does not have a kid at this point but I must admit it'd be a cool idea to see unfold if he wanted to train an heir.

Hey you never no >_> Light might be so messed up that he would want a kid to rule after him.. of course that would kind of ruin the whole series in a way.. xD

Actually to tell you the truth I think Misa is going to be already dead when this whole time skip really happens next week. Well then again Misa only lost the life span she gained from that Shimigami that fell in love with her and some of her original life span... so I guess she is not dead yet(Something tells me very very soon though..).

[Lightning Tiger]

despite what most people say, the events after the time skip are AWESOME and L's replacement(s) as the antogonist(s) of the series are way way more interesting than he ever was.

the anime just messes up the ending.

could we please not talk about all this. alot of us would like to be surprised about it, and everone who talks about it with such certainty just ruins the uncertainty factor those of us who haven't seen/read/spoiled ourselves with future plot revelations.

a little consideration is all I ask. anyone with me?

[PickHut]

a little consideration is all I ask. anyone with me?I actually agree. Even when little hints like "Oh, some mysterious person will show up next week!" are annoying. Even though we don't know what said person is, it's no longer a mystery to new people...

The exact same thing is going on in the Bleach topic as well.

[Sketch]

Light has become quite a monster. So much killing. That part when the kid rushes to his father only for his father (who was the guy who posed as one of L's alias') collapse was heart breaking.

[Dark Moridin]

And to think, that was only one that they had shown us. how about all the others that they didn't? For Light, there is no sacrifice too great for him, no situation that will make him rethink his ways. for him, he is "god" and he is law. a great villian, an awful person.

[Freedom Fighter]

"Yeah! Victory is mine!"

Ah, I'm so glad to be able to comment on 'Death Note' again. I think the last time I commented was... Misa's third episode? Wowsers... so much has happened since then, especially the last four episodes. I'm still a bit in shock that Light finally got L, and smugly satisfied (to a degree) that when L knew he was beat, he accepted fate - he knew there was nothing he could do.

Though I swear he was eyeing Light a bit too lovingly for my tastes...

Flash forward to this week's episode. First half is a recap, via L's video diary. Second half is Light seemingly finally able to achieve a world crafted in his way. Kinda figured the 'half fear him, half agree with his philosophy' bit.

Kinda awkward Misa said that line at the top, but it's what Light should be saying. But at least Misa got her man, and Light got his world.

One last thing... if this is a 'several years' time skip, then why would that cryptic message at the end only be sent to that 'group' now? Is this a whole 'L's letting Kira enjoy his victory, and then, find a way to strike back from the grave.' See? Even if indirectly, who says the Light vs. L war is over?

"Renewal" - 3.5/5.

[Kitschensyngk]

One last thing... if this is a 'several years' time skip, then why would that cryptic message at the end only be sent to that 'group' now?

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Lightning Tiger]

One last thing... if this is a 'several years' time skip, then why would that cryptic message at the end only be sent to that 'group' now?

L might have thought that there would be times where he isnt able to make contact with his friends, maby these times would last weeks or years. So he gave his Friends a time period thats probably something like this "if i go 4 years withought contacting you in any way, im probably dead, or i might as well be dead".

who knows maby he had some machine that sends an "im dead" signal if he doesnt reset it after 4 years, like an alarm clock.

[MC_X]

Wow, I think at this point I wish Light would get hit by one of those cars in the ending song. It's near impossible to root for him (for me anyway) at this point. The world really is headed towards a dark and dangerous place.

The whole episode was a nice recap and it actually felt necessary seeing as it was L's "firm achievement". A strange thing about the message is he said he's not alive at the moment... L zombies :eek:??

No, no that's a joke, but still L looked pretty zombie like to begin with. It looks like the end of this episode set up what looks like some sort of resistance to Light's plan, I assume. I don't have much to say other than interesting..

[marklungo]

That part when the kid rushes to his father only for his father (who was the guy who posed as one of L's alias') collapse was heart breaking.

This post brings up a good point: All the people Light kills (yes, even the worst of them) are human beings, and they all (presumably) have loved ones. Light obviously doesn't care about this, but I still wonder what he would do if he were somehow confronted by the families and friends of his victims.

Light has no romantic or sexual or well any actual feelings for Misa at all and yeah is pretty much just using her. The only reason he invited her to live with him was to keep her close at all times. I also have a feeling anytime she wanted to try getting initmate with him during those years he pulled the "after we change the world and I become the true new god" thing. And by that point after she fufilled her usefulness he'd just kill her anyway. I'm sure Light does probably have some plan on continuing his legacy after he's dead (since I doubt he'd trust the world to continue on the same way after he's gone) but I really doubt it would involve her like that.

Sign warnings about spoilers since people have really loose lips, espically when it comes to major plotpoints/ character reveals. Espically those who won't even use spoiler boxes for these facts or anything.

Uh, based on what he did to Naomi, the finance of Ray Penber the FBI Agent he killed, probably just get they're name/info first and have them kill themselves. Really we've been down the whole "confronted by relatives of victims" before and it's obvious that Light will kill anyone in his way for whatever reason, espically now with no L to have to try and watch out for.

[RAINMAN]

Was I the only I who notice light acting sort of different toward L death? He seem happy as hell when the man died, now hes seeing a ghost of L hunting him? And he missess L ruining his plans? What wrong whit him?

[Anubis C. Soundwave]

L was Light's WORTHY ADVERSARY, the only one who could give Light a true challenge. He had acted like that in an earlier ep, when Rem offered to kill L the first time (before Misa's capture and subsequent 50-day confinement).

It's impossible to believe that it's Light's conscience. :shrug: He's too manipulative for such trivialities. Being GOD OF THE NEW WORLD is too lofty a goal for meaningless matters like conscience.

His fall will be sweet. :evil: The only people in DN named Yagami I have sympathy for are his folks--especially his poor dad. He's been through hell five times over, his hair turned gray in a matter of weeks over the Kira case, he saw "a...a monster!" and he had to act like he planned to kill his own son(not even knowing that Light actually would have deserved it had it not been for said boy's XANATOS GAMBLE.) Worse, he has the (english) voice of MR. SINISTER. :D Poor, poor Soichirou.... :(

Was I the only I who notice light acting sort of different toward L death? He seem happy as hell when the man died, now hes seeing a ghost of L hunting him? And he missess L ruining his plans? What wrong whit him?

The problem with him is that he basically feels empty now. Light and L had formed a rivalry between each other, as we have seen. Now that L is gone, it's too easy for Light. Light liked the challenge that L caused him. L felt the same way towards Light, as a rival. This why L makes the comment of parting ways and being lonely afterwards.

Example: Take your favorite game, your the best at it, beating everyone that challenges you. Finally you met someone at your level, trading off victories for over a year. Then one day your rival disappears and you are crushing everyone again with 100-0 victories. Is the game still as fun without your rival to challenge you?

Well, since I’m a new Death Note watcher, the 15min recap was very interesting. Putting that together with Light’s plan basically gave me the entire recap of the show up to that point. But even if Light doesn’t think that things will get boring, I kind of did. After the recap, the rest of the episode wasn’t as interesting as the first part. Important, yes, but interesting, not really.


But I had a thought, what happens when Light runs out of pages to write on. Is the Death Note then officially used up?

I wonder if anyone was smart enough to pick up on the connection between Light's joining the police force and Kira killings going up. With L dead, someone needs to call Jack Bauer, fast.

L and Misa's kid is Stewie Griffin. Evil hellspawn prone to yaoi moments. Personally, I'm kinda surprised Light didn't just off her ASAP, now that the other shinigami is dead. Ryuk wouldn't give a crap either way, although I'm pretty sure he still needs her eyes.

I think one of the rules states that the Death Note never runs out of pages.

But it doesn’t have an infinite number of pages. In fact, the notebook only looks like it has 80 or so pages in it.

It's magic.

No, seriously. It's otherworldly. It has infinite pages, whether or not it LOOKS like it does.

This reminds me of a comic I saw.

Funny that Misa never wondered what happened to Rem, it seems she doesn't miss her.:sad:

Well at least now she gets to live something resembling a normal lifespan.

Oaky. Magic is the answer to all impossible questions.

More specifically: a wizard did it.

Misa, normal? Surely you jest.
