10. Episode 11: Doubt
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteIn the 11th episode entitled “Doubt”, L Lawliet challenges Light Yagami to a tennis match. This may seem like a casual match, but it actually has a symbolic meaning relating to the efforts L made to gather evidence that Light is Kira.
This match occurred precisely after L bravely revealed his identity in front of Light. Behind the emotional tennis game, Light also tries to find out more information about L, especially regarding his last name.
9. Episode 37: New World
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteAs a highlight, it is appropriate to have episode 37 Death Note presents a satisfying plot with conflicts that are successfully resolved appropriately.
Light Yagami no longer had any way to dodge. No matter how hard he tried to find an excuse, Detective Near, who replaced L, still managed to prove that Light was the true identity behind Kira.
Light at that time was completely destroyed mentally. He defended his cruel actions of using the Death Note journal and killing many lives. In the end, Light’s decision was the end of his own life.
8. Episode 4: Pursuit
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteWhen the authorities began to suspect Light Yagami, a detective named Raye Penber was assigned to investigate Light and his family. Light, who has already used the Death Note under the pretext of justice, can’t help but try anything for his safety.
The plan to reveal the figure who is following Light begins, and this 4th episode is the beginning of the murder that Light commits against innocent people.
Furthermore, Light’s mindset, which initially only intended to kill criminals, began to change and develop in a much more wrong direction.
7. Episode 23: Frenzy
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteLight Yagami needs someone to be a scapegoat so he can be free from suspicion that he is Kira. The person chosen to be the fake Kira is Kyosuke Higuchi.
Higuchi is a greedy person who is controlled to kill criminals using the Death Note given to him by the Shinigami Rem, just like Light usually does.
In episode 23, Higuchi was cornered and intended to end his life using a gun, but failed. On the other hand, there was Light who helped with L’s investigation. At that time, Light did not have the status of the owner of the Death Note, so he had no memory of the journal.
6. Episode 15: Wager
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteEpisode Death Note The next best is episode 15 entitled “Wager” This.
The fact that there are two Kira has been revealed, and Misa Amane is revealed to be the second Kira. L was sure that Misa and Kira had first met each other.
Misa was finally arrested. Light promises the Shinigami Rem that he will save Misa. The only way to do this is to take the Death Note from Misa, so that the woman can forget all memories of the journal.
Of course, this was one of Light’s strategies so that detectives couldn’t dig up information from Misa.
5. Episode 36: 1.28
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteTowards the top, Light has prepared every effort to make Kira’s world according to his dreams. Near invites Light to come to a building, the place where the final battle will begin.
However, unexpectedly, Detective Near found out and revealed to everyone that a follower of Kira, namely Mikami, was also in the warehouse and had written all the names of the parties involved in the Death Note.
4. Episode 2: Confrontation
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteLight’s actions as Kira, who upholds justice by killing every criminal, attracts the attention of L Lawliet, a world-renowned detective.
Because he didn’t understand how Kira worked, L at that time was still trying to hide his true face. He also lured Kira by broadcasting a message on a television channel that only aired in certain areas. When Kira acted, that’s when L managed to find out the location of the serial killer’s origin.
Light, who was initially arrogant, of course started to be careful and looked for ways to get rid of the detective.
3. Episode 7: Overcast
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteThe death of Detective Raye Penber in the 4th episode apparently made his fiancee, Naomi Misura, think about catching the perpetrator.
Naomi is a brave woman who is very careful. Light even felt threatened and felt that Naomi could catch him. For this reason, Light again developed a strategy to get rid of Raye’s fiancé.
No matter how careful Naomi is, it turns out she can still be trapped by Light’s cunning. The Kira managed to gain Naomi’s trust in a short time. Episode 7 really proves Light’s skill as a killer.
2. Episode 24: Revival
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteAfter Higuchi was caught in episode 23, the plan moved to the next stage, where Light would return to being the owner of the Death Note and get his memories.
This 24th episode further proves Light Yagami’s genius in planning strategies. Even though he had released the Death Note for some time, Light was still able to control Misa and the Shinigami Rem, so that everything could go according to his wishes.
1. Episode 25: Silence
dock. Madhouse/Death NoteThis is the best episode in Death Note, where Light, Kira, who considers himself a God, finally succeeds in getting rid of L, a prominent detective whose life has recently been threatened.
Light regains his status as the owner of the Death Note, then immediately orders Misa to commit murder. Shinigami Rem couldn’t do anything but obey Misa who was under Light’s control, even though he realized that this would only make Misa even more cornered.
On the other hand, this episode is also L’s biggest regret, who has collected concrete evidence that can strengthen his suspicion that Light is the real Kira.
That’s the episode rating Death Note the best that managed to amaze fans. What’s your favorite episode?
