It’s really amazing to see how different Light is when he loses all memories of being Kira. He’s like 100% good now, and a normal teenager at that. No wonder L is like doubting everything he’s been concluding so far. It would really screw him up, and that is the genius behind Light’s plan. But now you guys will have to wait and see how giving up the Death Note will actually help Light create his utopia.

Seeing the difference between the good Light and Light as Kira is pretty shocking. It goes to show that no matter how good, how young or how innocent someone is, the Death Note corrupts. As you will see in future episodes, many things will come up to support this claim that if L receives the Death Note, he may well become Light. L and Light are just too much the same, in both good and bad ways.

For those that don’t read the manga or do not now what is about to happen, this episode must have been a real eye-opener. Even I was excited through the entire episode, when I’ve know it was going to happen since the very beginning. The twist is just brilliant, and there will be more of that to come definitely. But for now, people will still be dwelling over this problem of how beneficial this act really is to Light.

Misa is quite surprisingly calm this episode. In the manga, she is meant to be crying and desperate at first, but then slowly regain composure and become accustomed to have her life in the hands of someone she doesn’t know, or can’t even see for that matter. I think the episode neglected to show the change, but it’s really only of little importance. Just being able to show how much Light has changed is enough.

It’s interesting to see how the events have turned out, with three people imprisoned; Misa, Light and Yagami. The two Kira suspects both display highly convincing appeals that they are not Kira. This complex set up really makes you think, and only L can keep his cool in such a difficult situation. It’s also amusing to see how, even though L is in control by having everyone confined, he is the one who is actually losing.

Minor spoilers in this paragraph, and ONLY this paragraph! The next episode is titled Execution, which should raise some eyebrows immediately. Yes, this is the event I’m talking about, but I’m afraid I may have already ruined the surprise. Oh well shoot me. But anyway, I will be really looking forward to the bonding after this incident. I’m not sure why but I always crack up when I read those particular chapters.
