Death Note 1x24 Reaction: "Revival"

[@AllundraRedmoon]

*Anna* : "I don't want L to die" *Ben* : "Me neither" half a second later *Light* : "You (L) will diiieeeee..."

[@stickman_studio]

I was about to write that lol

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

This moment is still one of the best moments in Death Note. Finding out everything was according to Light's plan was godlike. He even managed to manipulate himself. And the Light that was kind, worked with L, and didn't like lying to others throughout episode 17-23 disappeared. Because Kira is back.

[@ianp5367]

This is easily up there as one of the best episodes in the show, and I've been so excited to see you guys react to it! It's gonna be a wild ride going forward!

[@GraveDigger35]

Reminder, this was Light's BACKUP plan after the cell phone shenanigans idea failed, and the very reason why Light did the switcheroo stuff in the forest between Rem and Ryuk is because Light knew that Rem would never let Misa cut her life span again and would refuse to give her the eyes again

[@raveoreynolds6049]

I don't think a Shinigami can refuse to give someone the eyes. If Rem could, there's no reason she'd even explain the deal to Higuchi. The switch was more so the new owner got the book with the rules written in a human language.

[@ianp5367]

@@raveoreynolds6049 Actually no the switch was for several reasons. The first it ensured that both Light and Miss would have their memories linked to both Death Notes. The second was to get Misa separated from Rem, beyond just the deal Rem would at least try to protect Misa as much as possible.

[@Diane8142]

Also having Rem as Light's Shinigami so that Light would have a Shinigami willingly to carry out his plan.

[@HiddenWindshield]

@@raveoreynolds6049 If that were the case, then Ryuk would have been forced to explain the eye deal right at the beginning, rather than waiting so long. The switch was entirely so that [spoilers below] Rem would be the one in the one in the investigation headquarters, specifically so they'd overhear the conversation about how close they're getting to solving the case and be forced to take action.

[@beforebefore8357]

The reason why he was sure he would wear that watch was because it was a present from his dad and he has ever since always wore it. Details from the manga.

[@suzumutsu]

I'm so glad someone finally remembers that Misa had a really long lifespan because for some reason everyone kept freaking out at that scene, thinking she only has a few years left but she probably still has at least a normal lifespan... Assuming Gelus had at least a 100 years, she'd still have at least 25 years left and that's just the worst scenario. I can't imagine Gelus only having a 100 years, I think every shinigami probably has over a 1000 or at least a few hundred. Killing just a few middle aged people would already give them 100-200 and I doubt they've only killed 4-5 people in their lives. Misa probably still has a lot left.

[@are3287]

Shinigami are lazy and dont overwork themselves. Gelus might not have even had 50 years

[@NeverOhVer]

Unless the last episode takes place far in the future, that statement isn’t true. I don’t think Gelus had as long of a life left as some might think.

[@aruarian43]

Rem is pretty smart, she understands what needs to happen in order for Misa to live a happy life (i.e. being with Light). So we can reasonably assume she understands what is a normal lifespan for a human being. She just wants Misa to live a happy and normal life. Being the only human would become 250 years old would probably cause a lot of complications. I suspect that this must mean that Misa's first lifespan (after Gelus transferred his years to Misa) must've been sort of in that general ball park. Meaning now she has only half that. (maybe around dying at the age of 40? Definitely reason enough for Rem to be upset)

[@sgcastle8389]

Light going back in demon time, is awesome every time.

[@Bl4ckinferno178]

i really love the theory that Light wasn't screaming because the act of remembering everything was too much to handle, but because as he was starting to remember everything, he was screaming at the pure horror of everything he had done, and who he truly was

[@crypt5129]

That actually makes some amount of sense

[@Rakerong]

As a watch wearer, it's not a stretch to see Light wearing that same one, especially since we now see that it's modified to have a secret compartment in it that serves a purpose. I have many watches and I will almost always gravitate towards one and wear it more than the others. There's a routine with wearing a watch, and that included taking it off only during showers, cleaning/maintaining it, or sleep (though most will sleep with it on). There's a saying that not having a watch on makes you feel naked since it's that important. My guess is that Light is the type of person who only needed one watch or has a collection and just decided to keep that one worn and knew he'd be wearing it during that critical moment.

[@alysdaxei]

You're getting to some of the best episode of the series. Exciting.

[@FeastForThought]

That 5-Gum comparison is way too accurate lol

[@LeonDractus]

All according to keikaku. This is fucking iconic anime here.

[@treagoplays]

hey this is the episode that made meme history. Subbing is done now mostly by professionals but back in its western infancy, lots of subtitles were done by people with free time since companies didnt really bother translating anything that wasnt going to make a profit. The fan dub for this specific episode translated the helicopter scene's "exactly as planned" as "just according to keikaku (translator note: keikaku means plan)"' It's a meme that has lasted since 2008, and still kicking around now. also hilarious anna going "i dont want L to die" and Light instantly saying on screen "you will die" this is a little early than cellphones being ultra common place so watches arent out of the ordinary i guess :p

[@katherinewang3466]

to sum up this EP: HOLY SHIT

[@theruthlessotaku4483]

Ever since you two started this journey. I really wanted you to watch this episode. Yagami Light is a Monster

[@raito1999]

No. Johann Liebert is monster ehehe

[@SatansTesticls]

One of the best episodes for sure! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@dernierergenekon5234]

One of the reasons why Light can't leave investigation is because now Rem is attached to him, so if he goes out, Rem should too

[@mrakmal7114]

Truly one of the best animes ever

[@nicolequijano7113]

The "old man" is the shinigami king and no I believe the apple Ryuk gave to Misa was just rotten which is why he prefers the ones on earth I guess, who wouldn't? 😁

[@Bartlebycs]

I always thought it was because the apple was made of sand. Though why she'd eat an apple from the land of death without question is beyond me.

[@mskiptr]

I'm pretty sure that in the manga Misa says it's sand after biting it

[@brenosulzbacher]

Of course the plot required it to be that way, but L beign as perceptice as he is, I find it odd that he let the note come close to his prime suspect. Yes yes, how could he know there would be some memory erase bullshit, but he even let Misa chained in the building. Light should not be involved in this arrest at all. Given the fact that L never made public appearence before this case, it would make sense if he, Light, Misa and someone else stayed at the building coordinating everything remotely. Like I said, the plot really required it to be the way it went, otherwise L would have so much time to think about the note and most importantly, Light probably wouldn't have a window to kill Higuchi. Also, I hate how L simply stand there in the helicopter withtout asking to see the note again. He's not even interested in it. It is so forced, so out of character. Higuchi said he killed with the notebook, he was already arrested, everything regarding the case now lies with this note and he's just sitting there.

[@samuraijosh1595]

I mean the note is being investigated...what do you mean do you want L to compare Light's handwriting or something?

[@mergedlayers2153]

Ryuk mentioned if a Shinigami stayed writing names, they would basically live forever. It's safe to say Gelus had about 100-200+ years on him & that was transferred to Misa on his death, so she probably has a good 30 left after halving it twice.

[@raveoreynolds6049]

It's not a safe assumption though. For one, Rem wouldn't be concerned if Misa had tons of time left. Secondly, Gelus was the type to get attached to the lives of humans at the expense of his own, it's not unthinkable that he ignored his duties to focus on that.

[@Phireo]

As Raveo said. Ryuk did mention very early on that Shinigami world is becoming boring and slothful, some Shinigami even die by forgetting to write names often enough, thus, it might have been hundreds or thousands of years, it might have been something like 2 or 3 years.

[@Rakerong]

I still have a theory that humans cannot live as long as shinigami. Even if Gelus had, say, 300 years accumulated from taking human lives and it somehow transferred over to Misa upon his death, Misa should only be capable of living as long as a human possibly could. This ties in with the explanation Ryuk gave about how humans can't take lives and add it their lifespan by writing in the notebook because then they could just live forever. We don't know if what Rem stated about Gelus' lifespan being added to Misa's is true, or accurate to how it sounds. It is possible that Misa gained a new lifespan since her original one was null. We can assume that either 1. Gelus' lifespan did add to hers, but it was such a low number that it worked within the range of human lifespans; 2. Gelus' lifespan had nothing to do with anything and he just died, and Misa's new lifespan just was created and Rem was mistaken; 3. Gelus racked up an insane amount of years but Misa's human body would only allow a certain number to max out at with her new lifespan. It's always interesting to hear possibilities but this is mine. Even if Misa's new lifespan was 100 and she lived for another 80 years, this would put her halved remaining lifespan with the eye deal twice at 20 more years left. Not too far off from your original number.

[@yourgrammarisnotverygood1827]

I don't know if y'all were keeping this intentionally spoiler free, but we know exactly how much time Misa had by the end of the show.

[@ryanrodriguez2498]

Light Yagami demonstrates the different types of intelligence to get the task force and L to trust him and to figuring out who’s the Third Kira.

[@PopFlipCatchStickRol]

Seeing how much you guys love Death Note you NEED to check out Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion once you're done. IMO It's the only other anime that's on par with Death Note in terms of intelligent writing and a genius protagonist. It's got a supernatural element to it as well and it has more action. Not to mention it has the best anime ending of all time! Anybody who agrees give this comment a like so they see it! I would also highly highly recommend watching Re:Zero Starting Life in a New World. It's got the most loveable characters and is super compelling. Honestly I could make so many recommendations that I know you would love. Dr. Stone is up there as well with the best animes.

[@anumakber5275]

Lol no What i like abt death note is it maturity, sombreness, two strong characters with amazing dynamics, code geass despite following almost same plot, is just filled w fanservice, which throws me off so much. It's a fun watch but not something to react to

[@PopFlipCatchStickRol]

@@anumakber5275 Well for starters, no one but them should to decided what's good to react to. Don't be a gate keeper. Secondly it's one of the most beloved animes and there's a good reason it's a classic. Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean others don't enjoy it. Knowing the animes they have watched I think they would enjoy it.

[@tahimwaicij]

imagine you sneezed on the notebook and it kinda looks like someone's name you were thinking about

[@jplayer7jonny410]

If Light hadn’t swapped the notebook, Rem would be attached to Misa again, and she would never let Misa do the deal again.

[@keBvinYT]

I wonder if Light ripped off the pages where Misa wrote.. Coz if he didn't, a simple comparison of Misa's handwriting is enough evidence to implicate her as the Second Kira..

[@GraveDigger35]

Won't be an issue since the Task Force has the Death Note that Light first picked up

[@keBvinYT]

@@GraveDigger35 Oh I see.. He did a notebook switcheroo so Misa would be with Ryuk instead of Rem.. Coz Rem would've never let Misa to start killing criminals again.. That's some galaxy brain play right there.. I didn't get that the first time I watch this.

[@GraveDigger35]

@@keBvinYT yep, talk her out of not killing again, and would've refused to give her the Shinigami Eyes and halve here lifespan again, which is why Light's plan was all on trapping Rem in an inescapable corner to where she had no choice but to kill L and herself

[@angelsoflithium]

finally at my favorite episode!! got popcorn for this and everything lol i rewatch this episode alone all the time

[@cerenordas3312]

I was waiting with so much excitement and anticipation for this episode hehe

[@jennydale8680]

I think the lifetimes are in shinigami times or something. I recall reading that in the manga. I think when someone gets the shinigami eyes, they can understand it. I think anyway

[@jasmine9581]

22:35 a man of habit...

[@kaushiksunapu5657]

Little detail I'd like to add here, wouldn't it be possible for L to look at the notebook and realise difference in handwriting between the first few pages(used by Light) and next ones, used by Higuchi, proving that it hasn't been Higuchi using it all along?

[@jennydale8680]

I've been waiting so long for you guys to react to this episode. Its a good one. Imagine if that was the one day that Light forgot to wear his watch 😄

[@mefa9546]

Love you guys!♥️

[@wingdings_1738]

Some handwriting analysts would come in handy here.

[@1998rg]

I don't know if you guys have seen it, but I recommend Mob Psycho 100! It's from the same creator of One Punch Man, ONE. Honestly one of my favorites because of how absurdly funny but deep it is. (Not to mention the damn animation) Would love to see your takes and reaction on it if you did!

[@sabasgt]

Stimulate your senses

[@Jaker788]

There's no official information about Misas lifespan addition. Gelus could have had 10,000 years saved up from a long long time ago and just kill a single person with 20 years remaining every 20 years to maintain it. Or he could have 100-1000 years and maintain that. I think most likely she got at least 1,000 years added, halved that to 500 on the first eye deal, then halved it again to 250. additional years.

[@yourgrammarisnotverygood1827]

I think this is wrong. It's heavily implied that Misa kills herself at the end of the show, so Gelus and Rem total lifespan given to Misa is about 5 years.

[@Jaker788]

@@yourgrammarisnotverygood1827 Suicide is not related to a humans primary lifespan, it can happen regardless of remaining lifespan and is considered cutting your life short by choice (instead of dying at the end of your lifespan). Further there are a few rules that we can use to understand that lifespan is not so simple as a death note owner. First is rule 73, shinigami eyes will show you a person's PRIMARY lifespan, implying there are more complex factors that can cause a different death time. Second is rule 76, The use of the Death Note in the human world sometimes affects other humans' lives or shortens their original life spans, even if their names are not actually written in the notebook itself. In these cases, no matter the cause, the Shinigami sees only the original lifespan and not the shortened lifespan. Misa could have had any amount of time left on her lifespan since suicide is a humans choice and not affected by primary lifespan, and I doubt a shinigami would be letting themselves get down to single digit lifespans before killing again. Further, 5 total years cut in half twice is less than a year and a half. Misa lived a lot longer than that after the near stabbing incident.

[@are3287]

This is literally so completely baseless. We are not given any information to support this, only your assumption that shinigami kill often enough to have thousands of years to spare. Which is refuted by Ryuk early on, saying shinigami are lazy and dont work like that. Plus Misa killing herself what 4 years after the end of the show, may imply that was the time she had left. Even if it wasnt there is zero proof that Gelus had a lot of time left, and going by Rems reactions, we can safely say it wasnt a lot.
