I am L.
It seems like these hot days are continuing.
Be careful not to use the air conditioning too much.
It's not good for your body.
Keep it set around 27 degrees... and make sure it's not too cold.
What I'm bringing you today is the second installment of this special.
Have you been looking forward to it?
DEATH NOTE "Relight 2: L's Successors."
I present it to you today.
This is the sequel to last year's special, "Relight: Visons of a God."
I am told it's the story of the battle between Kira
and those who carry on my name after my death.
From here on, this will be for those of you who haven't seen the original series.
I will provide my input to take you through the story.
Well then, Watari. Please begin.
Right.
Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about, Ryuk.
I'm a hard-working honor student
who's considered to be one of Japan's best and brightest.
The main character of this story, Light Yagami.
Finding the Death Note, he secretly acts as Kira.
With his masterful intellect and resourcefulness,
he becomes an unrivaled murderer who is capable of deceiving everyone he encounters.
He was detained as a prime suspect in the Kira case...
but a second Kira appeared shortly after,
and Light was brought on board to cooperate with the Kira investigation.
And I...
I will become the god of this new world.
L. The world-class investigator pursuing Kira.
His identity was shrouded in mystery,
but he makes his first public appearance in the midst of the Kira investigation.
With his focused intellect and swift actions,
he corners Light Yagami and seeks kira's true identity.
I suspect that you, Light Yagami, are in fact, Kira.
Ryuk. The Shinigami attached to Light Yagami.
Curious by nature, he becomes bored with the Shinigami world
and descends to the human world.
At times, he cooperates with Light Yagami's plans,
and at times he remains indifferent.
He finds the situation entertaining.
It's just as I thought. Humans are... so interesting!
Misa Amane. The Second Kira who possesses the Shinigami eyes.
She cooperates with Light Yagami under the guise of her acting and modeling work.
Claiming she would do anything for him, she possesses an evil spirit.
And if it came to that...
I'm still stronger than he is, because I have the eyes!
The members of the Japanese task force,
who left their positions with the police in order to cooperate with L.
These are the few dedicated detectives who risked their lives
and constantly flirted with danger as they pursued Kira.
These are the members of our collective team
investigating the Kira case.
We eventually narrowed our focus on a corporation known as the Yotsuba Group,
and finally...we identified Higuchi, who appeared to be the true Kira.
Stop right there.
It's over...
Yes. It's over.
How to use it...
- It says,"The human whose name... - However, Higuchi was not the true Kira.
- is written in this notebook shall die." - He had simply been controlled by Kira.
And the following rule was found in the notebook
that we confiscated from him.
As well, the back cover has some more instructions on how to use 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."
Wait a second! If that's true,
then it means Light and Misa-Misa are completely cleared, doesn't it?!
Yeah, now that you mention it, that's right.
Light and Misa were detained for more than fifty days and are still under surveillance.
If either of them had been Kira, there's no way they'd still be alive by now.
With that, Light and Amane were deemed innocent and set free.
However, I was not satisfied.
Ryuzaki! What's the meaning of all this?!
You've somehow gotten approval from another country
to use the notebook for an execution?!
I'm going to try out the notebook for real.
We can't do that!
- I was taking action in order to test... - There's no point in testing it now...
- the thirteen-day rule. - when we already know the power is real!
- That is when Kira... - If someone starts writing in the notebook,
- exposed his teeth. - they'll have to keep writing names forever!
If we work this out, the entire case will be solved!
Wh-What is this?!
A blackout?!
R-Ryuzaki! What's wrong?!
Whaddaya know...
So L is finally gone for good, huh?
Too bad.
I guess that means
there won't be anything interesting to look forward to anymore.
Now everything that was in my way is gone!
And everyone else still believes in me!
It's only a matter of time until I get rid of the police!
What do you think of that, L?!
This is my perfect victory!
That's right...
I WIN!!
Did you say you no longer have anything interesting to look forward to, Ryuk?
Well, I promise that won't be the case.
From now on...
I'm going to show you the creation of a new world!
Four years later, Light Yagami enters the police force.
Kira's acts of judgment become more frequent than ever before.
And finally, nations begin to declare their support for Kira.
The world began to descend into a dark era in which Kira was considered the law.
This is where this special really begins.
Are you ready for it?
Stick with me for the next two hours.
Now, I wonder if I'll be making an appearance?
All right Watari, I'll leave it to you.
Yes.
DEATH NOTE "Relight 2: L's Successors."
We shall now begin.
What was that, Roger?! What did you just say?!
I'm afraid L is dead.
He's dead? But how?!
Was it Kira?
Did Kira kill him? The one L swore to get executed?!
Mello...
If you can't win the game...
if you can't solve the puzzle...
then you're just a loser.
So? Which of us did L pick? Me or Near?!
He hadn't chosen yet.
And now that he's gone, I'm afraid he won't be able to.
You know what? Screw it.
Near should be the one to succeed L.
He's not like me. He never gets emotional...
he just uses his head, like it's a game or a puzzle.
And as for me...
I'm leaving this institution!
Wait, Mello!
Don't waste your breath. I'm almost fifteen years old.
It's time I started living my own life.
FOUR YEARS LATER
Why was L defeated?
- What? That's wrong! - I'm next!
No, I'm next!
I'm envisioning the events that took place as individual elements.
I could take the effort to write detailed notes,
but I find that I'm able to gain a better understanding
from combining these numerous visualizations as a whole.
That's why I have very ugly writing.
Any other questions?
Yes!
Is there anything else that you're not good at?
Or maybe you have something you're scared of?
Something I'm scared of?
What? L's not scared of anything.
Monsters... I suppose.
Me too!
You idiot. He's not the same as you.
There are many types of monsters in this world.
Monsters who do not show themselves and cause a nuisance.
Monsters who abduct children. Monsters who eat dreams.
Monsters who suck blood. And...
Monsters who always tell lies.
Lying monsters are a real nuisance.
They are much more cunning than other monsters.
They pose as humans,
even though they have no understanding of the human heart.
They eat, even though they've never experienced hunger.
They study diligently, even though they have no interest in academics.
They seek friendship, even though they've never loved a friend.
If such a monster should arrive, I would likely be eaten by it...
Because I am that monster.
Did Kira appear before L?
And does this mean that Kira is in fact L?
Following L's death, murders that are suspected to be the workings of Kira
have spread to all nations of the world.
Information regarding Kira is being kept in the dark.
No, perhaps it is being fabricated?
The key words that are excluded from every murder report...
"Japanese police," "notebook of death," "kira's will."
And...the name of the one who is currently posing as L!
Have you gotten the hang of things around here, Light?
Mr. Aizawa... I was nervous at first, given the fact that I'm replacing L.
But I'm managing now...
I intend to give it my all, for my father who stepped down from the investigation.
That's right! And we'll definitely arrest Kira!
In any case, this is incredible.
We were able to finish this setup thanks to you, Light.
Yes.
I've also been able to fabricate the same voice Ryuzaki was using.
We can make it seem like he is still alive
and coordinate police forces around the world, just as before.
I don't like the feeling that I'm lying to everyone, though.
But we have no other choice if we're to avoid any unnecessary panic.
That's true.
What's wrong, Light? Did you have an appointment?
No... Things just haven't been progressing as I've intended.
I'd just like to consolidate the national data by the end of the day.
Right, sorry for bothering you.
- Not at all. - We didn't see that happen...
- Come on, Aizawa. Don't bother him! - until Kira appeared.
- Why don't you shut up already? - Kira is a savior!
Nonsense!
Kira is a criminal! The way you think is wrong!
But I think this is becoming a better world for those who commit no crimes.
That's right!
Hmm... I see!
Uh... Today, we are bringing you a pro-Kira versus anti-Kira debate
throughout the night until the morning hours.
Please note that we've concealed the identities of our participants
for their safety.
- This is never-ending. - The crime rate dropped...
- I can't believe that there are so many... - because Kira arrived!
- on the pro-Kira side. - That's not it! You don't understand!
- Yeah. The world's coming to an end. - Let me say it again. He is a criminal!
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA KIRA TASK FORCE: SPK
NEAR, 17 YEARS OLD
Japan is just headed in the wrong direction if we leave things as they are!
We must immediately begin regulating the Internet
to suppress opinions that support Kira!
- A Japanese Kira show, huh? - That'll only lead to a totalitarian state!
- Yes. - That's too much federal control.
- I'm having it streamed in real-time. - Didn't Kira appear because...
- But... - he didn't want to see such corruption?
- is it okay to be bothering with this? - Don't be stupid!
We need to determine Kira's whereabouts as soon as possible.
There's no need to worry.
Kira is among the Japanese police.
The world needs to obey Kira!
What do you mean, Near?
L was killed by someone close to him.
The Japanese task force is making it appear as if L is not dead.
But the truth is, someone has taken L's place and is pretending to be him.
That individual is Kira.
How do you know that?
I'm certain of it.
Because I am L's successor.
Soon, everyone shall seek Kira's word!
What are you talking about? That's impossible!
What's going on? Hey, what's wrong?
Hey!
Stop it!
H-Hey!
This is bad!
Move it! Hurry!
Delete.
Hey! Stop the broadcast!
What are you doing?!
Delete!
What's going on? This wasn't supposed to happen!
Delete!
H-Honey!
And delete.
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INTERRUPTION, PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT
I-I can't believe this...
A public murder?
Near...
This is good.
The ideal world has already developed this far.
That's right. I am...
the god of the new world.
DEATH NOTE "Relight 2: L's Successors"
There have been fewer crimes lately in Japan and around the world.
My daddy told me that if you do something bad,
- your name will be written... - Your name, please?
- on the Internet, - Hey, come on. How can I supposed to...
- and Kira will kill you. - file this report without your name?
G-Give me a break! Please, not my name!
Leave me alone! Or I'll put your names on the Internet!
A massive riot involving Kira supporters broke out moments earlier.
The police have arrived in full riot gear to suppress the crowds,
but the extensive damage continues to spread.
The United States shall recognize Kira's actions.
Starting today... we will no longer pursue him.
- President! - Are you saying that Kira is justice?
Justice? No, I never said that.
But because of Kira, war and conflict have ceased to exist.
Criminal organizations are in a state of ruin,
not only in the United States, but in all free nations.
Anyone who defies Kira head-on will be killed.
That is a fact.
We are not acknowledging Kira as a symbol of justice;
we are simply saying that, as a country,
we will not take any actions against him.
- How is that any different?! - You're saying that you accept Kira?!
Explain yourself!
So you're running away now?!
That was from last month's presidential press conference.
And this is NHN.
The news from a week ago.
Good evening. This is Kiyomi Takada from News 6.
Starting today, it will be my duty
to spread the word of Kira accurately and quickly.
Guess we already saw this coming...
- Yeah, but to think Takki agreed to this... - As part of this effort,
- Does this mean that the entire world... - everyone's opinions and questions for Kira,
- considers Kira to be justice? - will be passed on to me,
- Don't be stupid, Ide. - Kiyomi Takada.
Who the hell maintains order with death threats?
- This is far from justice. - His words are to become
- Our job is to catch Kira. - the new law of the world.
- Whether Kira is good or evil... - Kira will never forgive those people...
- That's not for us to debate. - whose existence is a threat to justice.
That's for the world to decide later.

Ryuk, you've given me some useful eyes.
Now I can punish anyone, even if they're using an alias.
Let me ask you again.
It was God's desire to have me carrying out these punishments?
That's right.
Kira can't move.
He left you with the responsibility of deciding who to punish.
Such flattering words.
I guess that could only mean that... God favors me.
Your personal history, your behavior...
Kira knows everything about you.
Teru Mikami, you've been singled out as the chosen one... by God.
Delete. Delete. Delete!
Delete. Delete.
- All right then... - Delete.
- I guess I've told you everything. - Delete. Delete.
Delete. Delete. Delete.
- Hey! Takki! - Look! Miss Takada!
- It's her! - We love you! Miss Takada!
We're not being followed, are we?
We're clear.
Welcome.
Welcome, Miss.
I'll be fine on my own from here.
Yes.
I missed you.
How is Mikami?
Nothing has changed.
It hasn't affected his legal career. He's still continuing with the punishments.
How is Miss Amane? You two are living together, right?
She's at home.
Does she know about us yet?
Of course not, I haven't said anything to her.
And is that okay with you?
She doesn't have the intellect to be my partner.
There you go saying that again.
No, believe me. I can't hide what I'm feeling.
SOMEONE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR
You know, I still can't believe it...
To think that I'm able to chat with you alone like this.
But Near...
Even if Kira made his way into the Japanese police,
criminals are still being murdered.
How do you explain that?
Perhaps he assigned the act of punishing to someone else.
If that is the case, he must have given the notebook to a third party.
Assuming that he's avoiding direct contact to waive the risk of being seen,
an intermediary would be involved.
If that's his train of thought,
then the appearance of a spokesperson comes as no surprise.
We have our candidate.
Well then, let's get started, shall we?
A blocked number?
Must be the FBI Director!
Hello?
Hello? May I help you?
Nice to meet you, L Number Two.
"Number Two"?
What do you mean? Who is this?
There's really no point in trying to hide it.
We are a new organization known as the SPK, or "Special Provision for Kira."
It was established to find and capture Kira without the help of L.
And I am at the center of the SPK. You can address me... as Near.
Near...
In the United States, the FBI and the CIA haven't been relying on L.
They've asked that I head up their investigation.
I trust you'll respect that.
By the way, L...
I see that you're transmitting from the west lobby of the Younan Hotel.
What are you doing there?
Our investigators have confirmed that Kiyomi Takada, the NHN announcer,
just left the hotel in a car.
Does this mean that you've already been in contact with Miss Kiyomi Takada?
- He's been listening? - No.
What are you getting at?
I'm going to be straightforward.
I'm saying that I am L, and I suspect that you are Kira.
So if a pro-Kira announcer meets with a detective,
that means the detective must be Kira. Is that what you're saying?
That's not the case.
It's because there is something suspicious about the death of the former L.
It's hard to believe that he was killed
before he was able to uncover any truths.
With the late L's investigation, it was determined that there are two Kiras.
Two notebooks, and two Kiras.
L recognized that, and went as far as detaining suspects.
I would like to know why he came to the decision
of releasing those two suspects without having doubts.
My thoughts point me to the thirteen-day rule.
The one that states, "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 likely a huge cover-up for Kira. However, it's just a hunch.
W-Well, it's kind of late to bring that up now... Right?
Aizawa?
It's true, that aspect still raises unanswered questions.
L was investigating that lead until the very end.
Those of you at the Japanese investigation headquarters,
I know this is sudden, but...
If you have any insights into this matter,
please contact me at the number I will be providing.
Of course, be sure to do it in secret, away from L.
Well then, I will be waiting.
Light.
Yes?
I've just got to be certain. I'm sorry to have to do this again,
but I want to put you under surveillance until we catch Kira.
I'll be listening to your conversations when you meet with Kiyomi Takada.
And just to be safe, I'd like to investigate your room.
There's a possibility that Amane might have a notebook.
H-Hang on a second, Aizawa!
No, go right ahead.
Look at it this way: at least you can prove to everyone
that I'm not sneaking around and contacting Misa in private. Right?
Mochi! Mon-chi-chi!
Long time no see, you two!
Well, there's no way she's got the notebook hidden on her dressed like that.
W-We're just investigating a tip
that there were explosives planted in L's house.
We think it's a prank, but we'd like to check the rooms just in case.
What? How about Light? Is he okay? I have to call him!
No, you can't call him right now.
How come?!
Don't worry, Light's safe, but he's really busy right now.
He has some other things he has to do,
so he's handed the investigation over to us for the time being.
Search as much as you like, Aizawa...
You won't find the notebook.
Too bad for them.
Misa doesn't even have her memories of the notebook.
Yeah.
I had her give up ownership of her notebook.
There's no way you'd find it if you were to look for it now.
Anyway, how was it? The rule that I wrote in the notebook.
That guy who pointed it out... Looks like he'll be a real nuisance.
I have a plan. It's okay.
Near...
L's successor.
I'm still battling with L.
Very well, Near. I'll accept your challenge.
I'll make you regret the fact that you crossed me.
Yes, hello?
This is Kira.
Mr. President, I am very grateful that
you and your country have sympathized with me.
But I'm afraid even that much isn't enough.
SPK, the organization that is pursuing Kira...
I want you to forward the profiles of their members immediately.
I will give you the contact information shortly.
Mr. President...whether you live a long life or not is up to you.
Don't forget that.
I understand.
I've received the files from the president.
I've confirmed the names of majority of the SPK members.
That's good enough.
We can't assume that Kira is laying low right now.
If we let our guard down, he'll get us.
- Let's try focusing on these areas. - This man surpassed L...
- All right. - and defeated him.
I'm certain he's planning something.
Or perhaps, it could be too late.

Near?
What's wrong? Why isn't he saying anything?
Hello, can you hear me, Near?
Please respond.
Did something happen?
What's the matter?
So...these are the two child prodigies from Wammy House, where L lived.
Near and Mello...
There are no photographs of them, only illustrations.
Of course, their names aren't real either.
Near is currently directing the SPK.
Mello. What is this kid doing now?
Or is he already working behind the scenes?
Near!
What should we do?
Let him in.
Mello. Welcome.
Drop your weapon!
Everyone, please put away your guns.
Having a shootout here would achieve nothing.
It seems like things have been going just as you planned, Near.
I suppose.
Would you say that even though
the majority of your investigative team have been murdered?
What about the fake rule?
I know.
After seeing Kira panic and make his move, there can be no doubt.
Thank you for that.
What are you talking about?
I was saved because you provided me with information through Lidner.
Near, I have no intentions of teaming up with you.
I know.
I only came to get the photograph of me that you have.
Of course.
I got it from the orphanage.
There was only one, and no copies have been made.
I've already gone ahead and dealt with everyone who knows your face,
both inside and outside Wammy's House. They'll keep quiet.
I can't say 100 percent for certain,
but it shouldn't be possible for you to be killed by the notebook.
Is that the only business you had with me, Mello?
Near...
I'll be watching how you fight this one.
We're going to end up at the same place anyway.
That's where I'll be waiting.
We got 'em! Both Yoshida Productions and NHN are practically begging us now!
MISA AMANE COMEBACK AT THE NHN EAST WEST POP MUSIC FESTIVAL
"The Great Misa-Misa Comeback Plan" was a huge success!
These days, it's nearly impossible for anyone to get into NHN,
but this'll get us full access.
Yeah, that's right. Mogi will be gaining entry as Misa's manager.
It'll definitely be to our advantage to have someone who can go in and out freely.
This is Near. I want to speak to L.
This is L. What is it you want from us?
I'm following through with my goal to arrest Kira.
And that's why I'm in Japan now.
He's in Japan? Why tell me? He's up to something...
There is something I would like you to tell the newscaster Takada.
What would that be?
Inform her that, as of now,
several SPK members have entered Japan in order to catch and arrest Kira.
But why do that?
To lure Kira out of hiding.
I also want you to mention the following to her, so she'll relay it to Kira:
In total, there are only four active members of the SPK.
That includes myself.
Knowing him, he won't run.
Instead he'll try to kill us before we get too close.
And that's where...
I'll beat him at his own game.
Beat me at my own game, huh?
All right, Near, if that's how you want it, I'll accept your challenge!
I am in Japan, as we speak.
I'm in Japan as well.
Then we'll be quite close to each other.
Who knows, we might even have the chance to meet face to face.
I hope so.
When that time comes,
we'll finish this Kira matter once and for all.
Definitely.
First, let's review what we know so far.
L is Light Yagami. And he's also Kira.
For now, we'll call him L-Kira.
There's also another one.
Someone who has the notebook and is currently using it...
We'll call him X-Kira.
Judging by the pattern of X-Kira's killings,
he has definitely made the deal and acquired the Shinigami eyes.
L-Kira and X-Kira can't communicate directly.
They must be planning to communicate using Takada as a go-between.
TAKADA
If we use this situation, there should be something we can do...
We're almost there.
What is it, Gevanni?
Well, about Mikami...
It's strange. It's ridiculously easy to trail him.
He's not trying to hide or anything.
He's lived at the same place the past four years.
There's nothing unusual about him.
He's carrying on as usual with his job as a prosecutor.
He goes to the gym every Sunday and Thursday
from 21:00 to 22:00 on the dot,
ever since he got his gym membership four years ago.
That's all we know for now.
There's nothing particularly suspicious.
I can't imagine him as X-Kira...
No. Considering Takada's relations,
the possibility of Mikami being X-Kira is high.
Please keep watching him closely.
Understood.
Today, Miss Takada will introduce her four new female bodyguards,
who were selected after a rigorous screening process.
The first is the winner of the 22nd World Karate Championships,
Miss Tatsumi Ooyama.
The second is a former CIA agent, Miss Hal Lidner.
So Kiyomi... I heard on the news the other day
that you receive an enormous amount of fan mail every day.
Yes... I'm told on average it's about 200 letters a day.
200 letters? Wow, I'm a little jealous.
- Don't say that. I don't have the time... - Man, this is boring, listening to audio...
- to even glance at any of them. - without any video feed.
I think you should look through them... even if they are just letters from fans.
You're right.
Keep calm as you read this note and the ones that follow.
KEEP CALM AS YOU READ THIS NOTE AND THE ONES THAT FOLLOW.
MAKE SURE NOT TO LET THE PEOPLE LISTENING TO THIS CONVERSATION HEAR YOUR REACTIONS.
Make sure not to let the people listening to this conversation hear your reactions.
The SPK has started to make its move.
You have to start thinking about your safety.
Instead of only accepting messages from Kira,
maybe you should start making a few demands of your own.
THERE'S A DIFFERENT JOB THAT YOU MUST DO FOR ME, T.
There's a different job that you must do for me, T.
IN ORDER TO CREATE THE PERFECT WORLD THAT KIRA HAS ENVISIONED...
In order to create the perfect world that Kira has envisioned...
I WANT YOU TO BEGIN JUDGING AND PUNISHING PEOPLE AS KIRA.
I want you to begin judging and punishing people...as Kira.
It's all right, Kiyomi.
I have faith in you. It's going to be okay.
All right... I'll do it.
Delete.
Delete. Delete.
Kiyomi Takada...
Yes?
I have an important message for you.
You are to send me a fan letter that I'll be able to recognize as yours.
You will also enclose something else in the envelope...
five blank pages from the notebook.
I understand.
God, what are you planning?
No. It's not my place to question God. His will is absolute.
My job is to do what God wishes.
Man... how many meetings do I need to have with NHN, for crying out loud?
And seriously, how many times do these people have to tell me,
"Be careful about what you say?" What's with that?
Y-Yes, of course. I'll ask her right now.
Um, listen... Misa-Misa.
Takada would like to have dinner with you this evening.
Just the two of you.
Huh?
That Kiyomi... What's she up to?
Good idea!
The Music Festival's emcee should have dinner
with the main performer at least once.
Tell her,"okay."
Hello?
Miss Takada? She's accepted.
Great, I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, and Lidner, please book a nice private room for us.
And also, I'd like you to attend the dinner as well.
Yes.
Misa, I'm sorry to have to invite you to dinner so late at night.
I'm afraid it had to wait until after the nine o'clock news was finished.
No problem. I don't mind at all. I'm a night owl anyway.
Well? What is it?
I'm not really sure how to answer a question like that...
So, Light must be pretty busy. How do you two manage?
Things are great between us.
Light is way more affectionate than he looks, at least with me.
In fact, he starts clinging to me as soon as he gets in the door every night!
I see.
It sounds like you're doing well. Thank goodness.
Yes, actually, I should probably tell you since you are the emcee.
I'm going to announce my engagement to Light at the Pop Music Festival.
Does...he know about this?
Of course he does! It's an engagement!
It's not as if I can get engaged to myself, can I!
He proposed to me more than a month ago!
Don't you think it'd be exciting to announce it
at the Pop Music Festival, Miss Emcee?
Why not?
If you're able to, that is.
Whaddya mean,"If I'm able to"?
What, are you not gonna let me announce it?
Or maybe it's something else...
Maybe you're gonna get Kira to kill me.
Of course not. Only Kira can decide who he's going to punish.
I have nothing to do with his decisions.
Besides, I've always thought of you as a good friend, Misa.
You shouldn't say such terrible things.
Well, whatever. I used to really like Kira too, You know.
But I know for sure that Light's gonna catch him soon.
Once he gets caught, it'll be nothing but bad news for him.
And as for you, you'll probably be...
executed.
M-Miss Takada!
Are you all right?
Listen, Kiyomi... I am the real Kira.
Please, join me, Kiyomi.
And you will be the goddess of the new world.
Miss Amane?
Y-Yes?
I find this unpleasant.
Oh yeah? I feel the same!
I should have waited until you grew up and learned a few manners
before I invited you to dinner.
I suppose I'll know better next time. Goodbye.
I'm older than you, Kiyomi!
And anyway, you're being childish
for storming out in the middle of dinner over a silly little comment!
This has been a year of breakthroughs for me,
and I'm sure for many others as well.
And what better way to bring this year to an exciting close
than with the East-West Pop Music Festival!
I'm your host for this evening, Kiyomi Takada.
We hope you all enjoy the show.
All right! The Pop Music Festival's about to begin!
Matsuda, shouldn't you be checking over the reports on Kira's killings?
Yeah, in a minute, but after Misa-Misa performs!
She's the opening act this year! We gotta cheer her on!
C-Can we help you?
We're from the SPK. We'll need you to come with us.
Before we continue,
I'm afraid I must apologize on behalf of the staff of NHN.
It's very unfortunate,
but it seems that this year's opening act, Miss Misa Amane,
has not entered the concert hall yet.
Of course, many unexpected things...
- What's going on? - can happen at the Pop Music Festival.
- Mogi didn't tell us anything about this... - It's always full of surprises.
Near.
Yes, what is it, L?
We have a problem. Mogi and Misa Amane have gone missing.
I'm already aware of that. I was the one who took them into custody.
He what?!
For what reason?
Oh, just in case.
So now I've removed Misa Amane,
the one who might be the Second Kira, from the equation.
Light Yagami...
I'm sure the significance of this move isn't lost on you.
Please, stop!
Aw, Come on now, lady!
I mean, wearing a short skirt like that in the winter?
It's an invitation!
Please, someone...!
A cell phone?
Mikami's just taken out a notebook!
Delete.
He's writing something in it! Could that be it?
He's getting off the train.
Near, it's all taken care of. I did exactly as you asked.
Good.
That is all I have to tell you today.
Very well. I understand.
I also have a message for you.
Yes? What is it?
I've confirmed it.
- It's Near. - He called!
L?
What is it, Near?
I want to meet you.
What?
There is something I must show you pertaining to the Kira case.
But... don't you suspect me of being Kira?
Do you really think it's wise to reveal your face to me?
That's true.
I cannot show you unless I reveal my face.
Furthermore, the very act of showing my face will prove something...
And that will bring this case to a close.
All right, fine.
As far as I'm concerned,
the sooner you realize you're wrong about me, the better.
Very well.
Now, as for our meeting place...
Daikoku Wharf.
There's a warehouse on the outskirts of the southeast side
that's been abandoned for some time.
It's known as "the Yellow Box."
If this arrangement is fine with you, then we'll use it.
This meeting cannot take place
unless I have your word that someone will bring the notebook.
Right, I understand.
But I'll be the one who decides who will hold onto it.
Does that sound fair?
Yes, of course.
Then all that's left to arrange is the time and date.
Right. The question is, what time?
Say... three days from now, on the 28th, at 1PM?
One o'clock, huh?
That's the exact time I expected him to pick.
Near is obviously aware of Mikami's movements...
That's fine by me. The time doesn't really concern us.
Well then... One o'clock, three days from now.
Sure.
- Heads up! We're under attack! - Protect Miss Takada!
Quick, this way. Are you all right?
Y-Yes.
They're getting away! After them!
We need to get inside NHN, now!
Don't do it!
Take a look around!
It's not safe for her here! Not even inside!
Mello!
It's best if you get her away from here right now.
Miss Takada, get on!
Now!
It's okay, you'll be safe with him. Please, you have to go.
Right...
All right, we've confirmed Miss Takada's safety.
Let's get her into car number seven.
Wh-What are you doing?!
One of the attackers was heavily armed.
NHN NEWS TAKADA KIDNAPPED IN FRONT OF NHN?
As of this moment, both Miss Takada's escort team
and the police are hot on the tail of the suspects.
Oh man... this is really bad.
Is it Near, again?
Near...you promised that we'd meet in three days' time.
What's the meaning of making a move like this now?
Take off everything you're wearing and put it all in that box.
Hurry up.
You can use this blanket.
L, I am not the one who kidnapped Takada.
The person I believe to be involved with this incident...
is from Wammy's House.
He is known as Mello.
Mello. Just as I thought.
I apologize for letting this happen while one of us was guarding her.
B-Before I take off the rest,
could I please have the blanket so I can wrap it around me?
Whatever you want.
This is the only thing that can be done. If I don't do it...
Light's cell phone!
Could it be her?
Quiet, everyone!
Hello?
Light... I...
Miss Takada?
Listen to me, are you all right?
Light... Light, please save me...
It's all right. Calm down and answer my questions, okay?
O-Okay...
First, your location. Do you know where you are?
N-No. I don't know where I am.
I was put into a truck that was locked from the outside.
But we were on the freeway,
and I caught a glimpse of a sign that said we were heading to Nagano.
Right now, I think we're parked inside of a building somewhere.
All right. Miss Takada, you are Kira's spokesperson.
Do you remember the conversation we had when I told you
that there might be people who would try to hurt you because of that?
Y-Yes, I remember.
We talked about what you should do if a situation like this ever arose.
Do you remember that?
I remember...
I did what you told me to, Light... I did it!
Yes!
I didn't struggle, even when he stripped me naked.
I did exactly as you said!
I made survival my first priority and... and, I did it...
Please... Light... I did everything that you told me to.
Come quickly! Save me!
Miss Takada.
You remember what I told you to do after that, don't you?
I have to do as many killings as possible while I still can...
I-I know... b-but Light...
Can you do it?
I...can do it...
Aizawa, Ide, let's get going.
Matsuda, you stay here and take care of headquarters.
You got it!
It's me. Send me as many names of people to punish as you can.
Here's my email address...
Yes. Right, I understand.
Nakajima, I'm going to the scene of the crime for this case.
All right, I got the location by tracing the call.
Head to Karuizawa by freeway.
Got it.
I don't believe this. Aizawa and Ide are just too stupid.
They jumped the gun and got in the front seats without even thinking.
This is just too easy...
What the hell is this?!
KIYOMI TAKADA, SUICIDE. JANUARY 26TH, 2013, 2:32PM. BURNS TO DEATH BY SETTING FIRE TO EVERYTHING AROUND HER, INCULDING EVERYTHING SHE WROTE ON.
JANUARY 28
L, there's been an interruption, but we will proceed as planned.
Okay.
Very well then, please don't forget the notebook.
The killer notebook...
How to use it...
The human whose name is written in this notebook...shall die.
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind
when writing his or her name.
Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds 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 minutes and 40 seconds.
Near, it's me. We've discussed it,
and it's been decided that I'll be the one to carry the notebook.
Thank you.
Well then, we'll see you shortly.
Looks like this is the end...
No, more like the beginning...
The perfect world of Kira...
And those who know of the notebook's existence...
All of them...will die.
All five SPK members are already here.
All right, let's do this.
Near, you're far inferior to L.
You have no right to be wearing a mask of L.
You're quiet, Near. What's wrong?
Are you still waiting for something?
Waiting... That's an excellent choice of words.
Yes, I am waiting...
for the arrival of the one who will solve everything once and for all.
Someone else is supposed to clear this up?
X-Kira. The one who is currently using the notebook
and killing people on Kira's behalf.
He's bound to come here, and bring the notebook with him.
And then, he'll see me, and write down my real name.
Or rather... he'll write down the names
of everyone here who knows about the notebook...
This doesn't make any sense!
What are you trying to tell us, Near?
That some other guy is gonna drop by with the notebook,
poke his head in, and kill us all?!
And you want us to sit back and let it happen?
Yes, that's correct. Now listen carefully.
If someone comes into the warehouse through that door,
just let him in without resisting.
If the door opens slightly, simply act as if you don't notice anyone there.
B-But that's just crazy!
He's already here!
KANZO MOGI TOTA MATSUDA
HIDEKI IDE SHUICHI AIZAWA
LIGHT YAGAMI
God!
Delete!
Delete, delete, delete, delete!
Delete!!
Delete! Delete! Dele--!
Delete!
Hold it! Don't do anything!
- Everything is fine. You won't die. - Delete!
- H-How can you be so sure, Near?! - Delete! Delete!
Delete! Delete!
Because I modified the notebook.
- We took brief possession of the notebook, - Delete! Delete!
- and replaced the pages. - Delete! Delete!
The person behind the door has been doing the killings for Kira.
He has also been using exactly one page every day.
Based on that, I was able to replace the page he would use today,
as well as all subsequent pages so that no one else would die.
Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete!
Delete! Delete!!
DELETE!!
On the other side of that door is X-Kira.
My guess is, in roughly 40 seconds, he'll look inside to see if we're dead.
That's when we'll restrain him and seize the notebook.
Whoever's name is not written down... must be Kira.
I-It's true... Kira would be the only one that guy wouldn't try to kill...
But still...
I knew it! I knew it!! I KNEW IT!!
I knew all along you had tampered with the notebook!
Near, you've been completely defeated!
The notebook you altered was nothing more than a forgery I had Mikami prepare!
On the other hand, the one Mikami is writing their names in,
is the real notebook, which had been kept hidden until now!
I had Mikami create a fake notebook for himself.
He also sent Takada several pages from the real one.
So in fact, it was Takada, not Mikami, who was doing the killings.
As for Mikami, I had him write names in public several times,
using the fake notebook.
That way, he'd be noticed if anyone was following him.
But Takada was the one behind the deaths.
Mikami simply sent the names and faces by cell phone.
This little performance was how I made the SPK believe
that the notebook Mikami used was the real one.
Mikami's daily behavior is so methodical, it's almost obsessive.
He always fills exactly one page with names everyday.
And Near, you noticed this little habit
and thought you could use it to tamper with the notebook.
All you had to do...
was count ahead to the page
he'd use on the day of this meeting.
Then you replaced all the pages from that day onwards.
You were confident you could prevent anyone from dying.
That was your big plan!
But I was one step ahead of you, Near!
I always knew you were going to try and alter the Death Note.
That's why I had Mikami check the notebook every day
for signs of tampering.
I was certain of my victory by this point.
Mikami brought a different notebook today...
The real one, which had been kept hidden up until now!
You there, outside.
Have you finished writing down the names in the notebook?
God...
Yes, I've written them.
N-No, I can't laugh yet! I've gotta hold it in.
They're all gonna die,
40 seconds after he wrote down their names...
35 seconds...
I'll claim my victory then!
Don't you think it's rather odd?
Why would he answer you so quickly, calmly and honestly
when you asked him if he had written down our names yet?
Who knows? Maybe he's just honest? Or confident that he'll succeed?
Or perhaps... he's seen through your "brilliant"plan.
Huh? In that case, we're in big trouble!
Teru Mikami.
If it's not too much trouble for you, won't you please come in and join us?
I already know that you're the one
who's been judging and executing people for Kira.
If you've already written down our names,
then there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of.
You can come right on in.
Teru Mikami, is it?
He's correct.
There's no reason to hide from us. You can come in.
God!
You've done well, Mikami...
How many seconds has it been since you wrote down the first name?
30 seconds...
31... 32...
33... 34...
35... 36...
37!
38!
39!
Well, Near. Looks like I win!
40!
We're still alive!
It's been over a minute, and... we haven't died!
Didn't I already tell you all that no one was going to die?
B-But why?
Why won't they die?!
G-God!
I did everything you told me!
Rester! Gevanni! Take him now!
Gevanni. The notebook.
If you didn't believe me earlier, then see for yourselves.
KANZO MOGI, TOTA MATSUDA HIDEKI IDE, SHUICHI AIZAWA
I can confirm that the first four names
are definitely the real names of the SPK members.
The only name that hasn't been written down...
is Light Yagami.
If that weren't enough,
Mikami also addressed you as,"God," and said he did what you asked him to.
KANZO MOGI, TOTA MATSUDA HIDEKI IDE, SHUICHI AIZAWA
It's settled.
It's a trap! This whole thing is a set-up!
This is all part of Near's plan to frame me!
Isn't it a little odd that no one died
after having their name written in the notebook?!
This proves it's a trap!
I believe I already told you
that no one would die because I modified the notebook.
N-No, you-!
Th-That can't be!
This is a setup. I don't know this guy!
Light, it's too late to deny it. You know Near has won.
Just a moment ago, you were saying, "it looks like I win."
How much more of a confession do we need?
Light...
Why...?
S-Stop it!
Light Yagami... L...
Kira...
It's over. You've lost the game.
Just a moment ago,
you proclaimed your victory expecting us all to die.
And to tell the truth, you might have actually won...
and I would have lost.
We ended up doing exactly what you expected us to,
and altered the fake notebook in Mikami's possession.
However, when I said before that we had modified the notebook,
I was in fact referring to the real notebook as well as the fake.
We only switched part of the fake notebook.
But as for the real one, we replaced the entire thing.
This notebook here is actually the real one.
No! Impossible!
We used the same kind of pen that Mikami used,
copied his handwriting perfectly,
and made both the inside and the outside of our fake look exactly like the original.
Gevanni was able to do it in a single night.
Th-This has got to be a trick!
Or could it be that Mikami's betrayed me somehow?
You're mistaken.
Please take a look at this page of the notebook.
Takada's name is in the notebook!
KIYOMI TAKADA, SUICIDE, BURNS HERSELF TO DEATH
I was the one who killed her,
but her death was written there just one minute later!
Did that mean Mikami did the same thing I did?!
G-God! You told me you couldn't move freely!
It's all true. On the 26th,
right after Takada's kidnapping was broadcast on the news,
Mikami went to the bank.
I'd been trailing him.
I knew he went to the bank every month on the 25th.
So it was odd for someone as methodical as him
to go to the bank twice in two days.
I followed Mikami to the bank and he headed for the safe deposit boxes.
It was only at this time that he seemed concerned
whether someone was following him or not.
I got into his safe deposit box. Inside was the real notebook.
Sure enough, Takada's name had already been written inside it.
Do you understand now, Light Yagami?
You didn't realize that Mikami made a move on his own
and wrote Takada's name in his notebook...
because you had already killed her using a notebook clipping yourself!
This was the event that made me consider the possibility of a fake notebook...
We were able to stop you thanks to the efforts of one person.
It was Mello who did it all.
Mello probably knew what was going to happen all along.
I bet Mello knew in his heart... that working by ourselves,
neither of us would be able to attain our goal, and surpass our mentor L.
But... together...
Together we can stand with L! Together, we can surpass L!
And now, acting as one, we faced the Kira who defeated L,
and with solid evidence, beat him at his own game!
Let's see you try and talk your way out of this one, if you can.
That's right.
I am Kira.
Hear this.
I'm not only Kira,
but I am also...
God of the new world!
Since Kira's appearance six years ago, wars have stopped,
and global crime rates have been reduced by over 70 percent!
But... it's not enough! This world is still rotten!
With too many rotten people...
Somebody has to do this!
When I first got that notebook, all those years ago...
I knew I had to do it!
No...
I was the only one who could!
I understood that killing people was a crime...
There was no other way! The world had to be fixed!
That was the purpose given to me!
Only I could do it...
Who else could've done it? And come this far?!
Would they have kept going?
The only one...
who can create a new world...
is me.
No.
You're just a murderer, Light Yagami.
You yielded to the power of the Shinigami and the notebook.
And you have confused yourself with a god.
In the end, you're nothing more than a crazy serial killer.
That's all you are.
Nothing more, and nothing less.
Useless fools... as if they could ever understand.
Near.
That notebook you have,
and the one that Aizawa brought from the Japanese task force headquarters...
are they both real?
What is he up to? Is he bluffing?
At the moment only I know where the real notebook is.
If you truly want to defeat Kira,
as well as test the notebook that Aizawa's carrying...
I guess you're going to have to write down either my name or Mikami's.
It's the only way to see if it's real...
or fake!
He's hidden a piece of the notebook!
Matsuda!
Matsuda, you idiot!!
Who the hell do you think you're shooting at?!
Don't screw with me!!
If you're gonna shoot, fire at someone other than me!
Kill them!
Shoot them!!
His blood!
I'll kill him...
I'll kill him! He has to die!
Matsuda!!
Damn you...
What the... h-hell... is this?
Mikami! What are you waiting for?!
Write down their names! Write them down!
Kill them now!
It's finally over... isn't it, Near?
Yes.
Where are you, Misa?! Where's Takada?!
What the--?! Mikami!!
Quick, stop the bleeding!
It's already... too late.
Light!
Wait, Light!
Well, Light... It looks like you've lost.
Remember how, in the beginning, when we first met,
I told you that I'd be the one writing your name in my notebook?
That is part of the agreement
between a Shinigami who brings a notebook to the human world...
and the first human who picks it up.
If they put you in prison, who knows when you'd die.
And I don't wanna lie around waiting...
So it's all over.
You'll die here.
LIGHT YAGAMI
