78: Death Note: Ep:11-25
In this stretch of the series, Light Yagami carefully manipulates events so that his father and the Japanese Task Force grow to trust him. He then makes the calculated decision to give up ownership of the Death Note, losing all memory of being Kira. With his memories erased, Light genuinely throws himself into the investigation and begins working alongside L to catch the killer.
At the same time, a new figure enters the picture: Misa, a model who is secretly the Second Kira. Armed with a Death Note from the Shinigami Rem and gifted with the Shinigami Eyes—allowing her to see a person’s true name—Misa becomes a formidable threat. She idolizes Kira for avenging her parents’ murder and seeks to ally herself with Light.
Suspicion inevitably falls on both Light and Misa, prompting L to keep them under close watch. But Rem’s devotion to Misa drives her to intervene on her behalf, giving Light the space to reclaim the Death Note and regain his memories. With his true identity restored, Light executes a meticulous plan involving the corrupt Yotsuba Group, ultimately shifting suspicion away from himself.
From there, Light begins eliminating his enemies with ruthless precision, manipulating Rem into killing L to protect Misa. In sacrificing herself, Rem seals L’s fate, and with the death of his greatest rival, Light finally achieves the upper hand. Episode 25 closes with this shocking turn—with L gone, Rem gone, and Light now stepping into the role of “L” on the Task Force he now has positioned himself to serve as both hunter and hunted, all while remaining the real killer hidden in plain sight.
So sit back, relax, turn off the white noise of social media and enjoy this next hour because we’re deep diving into episodes 11-25 of our show, Death Note.
