[@saybk2019]

[@cielhigh4401]

About the foot washing scene. L knew he was going die and had accepted that. Before this scene, L & Light had a word about about being truthful and trusting others. Previously also, L and Light have a conversation about friendship and betrayals. This was a symbolic scene as Judas betrayed Jesus in Christianity. Jesus knowing he was about to get caught, still washes Judas’s feet; and sacrifices his life eventually. L in the same way knew Light was Kira all along still he treated him let’s say “nicely” because somewhere deep down he knew that his personality traits ( Not trusting others, his deduction abilities, sharp, being distant with everyone etc ) is quite like Light. So, he related himself with Light. L could have saved himself ( Given his sharp thinking ) but he still chooses to let Light win at that point with him dying. But, L knew in the long run eventually Light should be caught as Kira.

[@ryanrodriguez2498]

L was born as orphan since his parents are gone. Watari took him in as his legal guardian training him to see his potential realizing he’s a future prodigy and detective. Also fun fact when L was just 8 years old he prevented WW3 from happening. Even the adults around him agree that the kid beyond them in intelligence.

THE SILENCE WAS SO LOUD THIS EPISODE

[@h.c4898]

31:35 That probably was the only time L was that honest, blunt ,raw and truthful to someone. Being a hermit himself who doesn't talk to anyone other than Watari. "Time for the payback moment". Light was caught off guard on this one but I doubt he knew how L felt at that point. Light was in "hunt mode" but L knew deep inside him it was over. Too much oversights at that point and variables to make sense of it all. One of those premonition moment about self.

[@Timeforspas12]

This episode... hits hard. Like, "the bells are loud today". The bells he's hearing from that church could be anything, but the moment we see L falling, we realize it's from a funeral, his own.

[@abdelbouzazia4955]

L for me is rightfully the best character of this show and I don’t think he was outsmarted at all, light had a death-note but L was still keeping up with him which is an incredible feat in itself, light has done nothing but put his best effort to hide while L was always figuring out pieces of evidence at the risk of being killed. It’s totally understandable that he couldn’t protect himself from a Rem that wanted to kill him, after all he’s still human, he has limits like all of us and I would say that it is honorable and humanising about his character ,he can’t protect himself from supernatural things that can directly kill him because he doesn’t have a supernatural panel of possibilities like light. So he wasn’t outsmarted at all he has always been at a disadvantage, we, the audience just never saw because it was camouflaged by his amazing abilities.

[@abdelbouzazia4955]

He knew that he was going to die but deep down he always felt that light was Kira, those are even his last words in the manga and that’s what is also incredible about L, as without even having foolproof that light is Kira, L knew it. Why ? Well because they have the “same nature” (hate to lose, childish, ect) but L because they are similar was able to sense that there was something that completely opposed them : Honesty. While L has always been a completely honest and direct person ( he always say what he thinks, even the fact that he’s L) Light has always been hypocritical and that’s why L said to him : Light, since the moment you have been born have you ever told the truth once ? It’s because light was so similar to him but so different that he was able to see his rotten nature that made him think that he was Kira.

[@Rakerong]

@@abdelbouzazia4955 I think that the movie "Law Abiding Citizen" summed it up well - "It's not what you know, it's what you can prove." L held onto his belief that Light was Kira to the end, but couldn't prove it concretely. This was the moment where L could have disproved the 13 day rule and throw Light back on as the prime suspect and with the shinigami and Death Note known to everyone on the task force, this would have only led to Light's downfall. Time needed to be on L's side and I know he could have proven Light to be responsible, but Light made sure that didn't happen. And it was because he knew how Rem and Misa's mentalities were and how to manipulate them and get him out of this jam.

[@hex__x0x]

Of course. First, L was against 2 people, 2 death notes, 1 shinigami, and he kept up with all of them. And second, while they were using all the sick games, he played clean. If he was half as bad as them, it would be over for all.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

Some people like Light, some don't. I personally love the unique idea of having the Protagonist be more of a villain. Very few shows go down that route and do it well. And the absolutely genius plan from the previous episode combined with this one was extremely well thought out. Light manipulated everyone, even himself. And it's a shame. We can see from episodes 17-24 that Light really was a different person without the notebook. He actually had compassion and cared for people. But power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely. Light cared for people. Light cared for L. Kira did not.

[@shyamk1103]

Only people light cared for as Kira was his family. He forced himself to not care for Misa or anyone else because he believed that he would mess up if he did. Death note truly ruined his life and corrupted him. He would've had a amazing life ahead of him if he didn't get the death note. What truly makes me sympathize him is he didn't even want to use death note. But he forced himself to use it to justify the 2 accidental kills he committed. I mean, He had nightmares and he lost few pounds when he realised he was killing people. Killing people definitely wasn't fun for him. This makes him a hopelessly tragic kid who was trying to justify himself for all horrible things he did throughout the series.

[@ryanrodriguez2498]

People always think Light is an hero or anti hero look how does killing people just because their criminals and having a god complex make you a good person. Light just uses and doesn’t love Misa. She’s just a tool to him. Also later in the second half of Death Note my god are the reactors going to embrace an irredeemable guy who crosses the lines he said he would never cross but he did

[@Bl4ckDoT_]

I think "absolute power corrupts absolutely" is a magnificent expression. However, I've always thought that absolute power reveals absolutely or reveals one's true self. If your true self is inherently good, then that power can be used for good or discarded by choice.

[@arctic1439]

I love Light lol. My point of view is that this is a fictional world and nothing in this world can affect the real world, so why not add some chaos.

This episode was completely different to the rest cause lots of the scenes were not actually in the manga. The anime adaptation added the bells, Misa' song, the rain and the feet scene

[@PopFlipCatchStickRol]

I absolutely love this anime for asking the viewer to confront such difficult moral and philosophical questions. Like is it wrong to take the life of someone who you know will go on to kill many more people? Or is it right because it's for the "greater good." As well as at what cost should justice be served? There's this crazy paradox in Light where in order for him to rid the world of evil he himself must become the most evil of all. This show captures that moral struggle so well through it's compelling story and captivating characters. It makes me appreciate anime so much for having the guts and the maturity to explore these topics. You would NEVER get an American cartoon that would take on such heavy subject material.

[@mrsjones7907]

This episode left me speechless when I first watched it. I love how it’s called Silence, and how from the very beginning it focuses so heavily on sound. The sound of children and bells from L’s past, Misa’s haunting melody, the pouring rain, the ramping choir, then back to the sound of bells as L falls - all leading to that moment when it falls completely silent as L closes his eyes. Whoever did the sound design - chef’s kiss. L is one of my favorite characters in fiction. I couldn’t even tell you why, but he just sticks in my brain and demands to remain a point of fascination for me. And as much as I hate that L had to die, I believe this episode is a big reason for that. It feels like losing someone before their time. Considering all the time that we did get to spend with him, we still know basically nothing about him on a personal level. Then we finally get a glimpse of his past, with hints of the nature of his childhood, then they yank him away from us before we get the chance to really delve into his character and background. That isn’t to say we never learn more about him - to say whether we do or don’t would be a spoiler so I won’t confirm or deny anything on that subject. But still, when I got to this point on my first watch, I remember almost feeling cheated. It left me yearning for more, and cemented him as an unforgettable character and Death Note as an unforgettable show.

[@Bl4ckDoT_]

From deathnote fandom wiki: "Just before Light has Rem kill L, L receives prophecies of his death in the forms of images and dreams (more than once). In the same way, Jesus prophesied (more than once) that He would be betrayed and killed. Also, Jesus washes the feet of His disciples, including Judas-just before the latter betrayed Him. In the same way, L washes Light's feet after their conversation in the rain on lying" Also L kept saying "forgive me for my sins" and other things of the sort knowing fully that he was getting killed and that Light viewed himself as a god. I saw another commentor mention "absolute power corrupts absolutely". I always thought that absolute power reveals absolutely one's true self is more applicable to the real world. It could be that Light was written as someone who fit in the first category where the death note corrupted him, or it could be the second option where it only revealed who he was. Although we will never know exactly who Light is, only the creator of the character does, I would be curious to hear your thoughts on wether it's the first or the second scenario that describes him best.

[@logancapes]

My favorite line from this episode was L's line about the bells. Instead of saying "I'm going to die" he said it in a way that Light would only understand if he was Kira.

[@stardmg]

In the first of (in my opinion) many baffling decisions the anime staff made, the anime actually omits L's final thoughts as he loses consciousness: (while staring up at Light's smug grin) "Light Yagami... I knew it... I wasn't... wrong... But... I..." I think hearing L lament that even though he was right from day one, he still couldn't defeat Kira makes his death even more tragic.

[@enjitodoroki3202]

not really, even though we couldn't hear every single thought that was going through L's mind as he was dying, we can still understand it and that's how the silence felt even more powerful. So I think they didn't make a bad decision cutting it out.

[@MortimerFolchert]

I hate several decisions the anime take on the manga. Killing L in this episode was one of them. Why do they want to do this, and never reveal he faked his death? I mean sure, L dies 23 days later anyways, but come on... there are so many unnecessary changes between Manga and Anime. I had Friends stopped watching/reading after this scene because they thought he's dead.... >_>

[@stardmg]

@@MortimerFolchert What? L never faked his death. He dies at this point in the original manga as well.

[@MortimerFolchert]

@@stardmg not according to the novel from tsugumi ohba & takeshi obata "L: change the WorLd" where Ryuzaki wrote his name in the deathnote to proof its function and has 23 Days time, where he solves that bio-weapon case. he dies playing chess against himself, talking to wataris photo. (Because Watari actually died there) It's really sad... He couldn't be killed by Rem because once your name is written in the Death Note your Death is settled and you can't die anywhere before that date. (which is a maximum of 23 Days). Except of course you use the Death Rubber from the One-Shot-Manga they produced with wich you can erase the names of someone in the death note and they came back to life. They said, they had to include this solution for their publishers sake but subracted it from the full-manga later on.

[@hamsterfromabove8905]

No, L's last chance was when Light took Higuchi's notebook. There was a window of time 45+ seconds long where L had the notebook in arm's reach before Light got his memories back to keep. If L had taken the notebook back in that time then after Higuchi died then L would have become the true owner of the notebook and Light would have lost his memories again. L directly stated that he suspected Light of intentionally passing the power of Kira on with the intention to reclaim it at some point. And then L allowed his chief suspect to hold Kira's power for over a minute uncontested. In that scene you can see L is suspicion of Light in the helicopter, but doesn't act. Other than plot armor for Light there is no good reason why L would be ok with Light holding the notebook. And if L had taken it back in that brief window then he'd have won.

On a happy note, I would honestly give the Japanese live action films a shot after you finish the anime series.

They seemed to refuse to believe in L and his abilities to the last, to the last they turned away from common sense. But L worked with them, L died at his job, he gave everything to this world, and died Domtoino, silently, looking at him in the eyes, calmly, quietly. It's a shame that he was dying in front of the people, and they seemed not to understand what was happening, clutching at their own heads, staged scenes, a circus around. I don’t want to say anything, just stupidity can hurt anyone more than rivalry, remember.

To me this was always the end of death note… and also one of the most beautiful episodes and the saddest. It’s so different from all the previous episodes in everyway… i fucking love it. It is my favorite…. Even tho I lost my sweet L

After completing this series ...You can watch its movies for alternate ending 1.Death Note (2006) 2.Death Note: The Last Name (2006) Although series are more detailed and Graphics of Shinigami in movie is not that great but ending feels better.

Death Note is my favorite anime and I will always be by Kira's side. Thank you Ben and Anna because you are the best reacts on youtube. I love the way you guys react, the faces, emotions, discussions of the episode. Unfortunately you didn't expect L's death now, but know that the best of the anime is Kira versus L. I saw the sparkle in your eyes go out with his death, but this anime is amazing, all the scenes, stories and characters . I don't like what comes next until the end of the anime and I won't give spoilers, but it's really worth getting to this episode. I compete with several friends, some like Kira more and others like L, but this is one of the most interesting things, the way each one sees from the perspective of who is "more right" or "more wrong", who is the true justice, the whole story that makes us think. Thanks for everything, I'll keep watching with you if you're going to watch until 37. If I can suggest a smart anime similar to Death Note, I'd say watch Code Geass. It would also be nice before the end of the video for Anna to say goodbye too, it seems silly but I can only say goodbye to Ben because the video ends before hahaha

The scene of L washing Lights foot was from Jesus washing Judas feet before Judas betrays him...

[@haydenmarx6823]

There is a deleted scene of L's funeral

[@dakshtyagi4562]

Many just hate Kira because he killed L ...but if you think about his plan for long run you would find out and also in the end, the world is changed..and also read special one shot manga 109 of death note. It will clear things.

[@THEGREYGH0ST]

I do see a character you can go as Ana in the "Near" future.

[@ryanrodriguez2498]

INDEED. This is pretty “Mello” the end is “NEAR”

[@yourmoonchild1420]

What always gets me about L’s death is that he was so close to figuring things out. This entire show he was at a disadvantage in the fact he had no knowledge about the death note and shinigami, but finally in the episode before he dies the playing field is revealed and he was so close to being able to make moves, test things for himself, and get the evidence he needed in order to catch Light. It just blows even more because it felt like we were at the start of such a cool arc where L knows things now and Light and L would roughly be on the same level and then he just dies 😭 Maybe it’s because I loved L’s character so much, but his death never felt necessary in my opinion where it would have at least felt worth it :’)

[@erictrejo4333]

Just remember L always has a plan B

[@Nachumbox]

The thing is guys, Light is a psycopath, from the very begninning, even before he got the notebook. He began doing things out of boredom, and then out of ego, never for justice. And psycopaths don't/can't feel empathy. Truly sad chapter.

[@TamagoSenshi]

Fantastic commentary by the cat

[@ChiePet_]

RIP, L. Lawliet.

“I can’t even talk” The name is called Silence. These titles be predicting the outcome

[@frontgamet.v1892]

Fun facts about L the true GOAT of Death note: - He prevented ww3 when he was just 8 years old - He is the favorite character of the creators of Death Note Tsugumi Öba and Takeshi Obata - Tsugumi and Takeshi said that they now regret killing L in the story and would make a different ending. - There are two novels about some of his most interesting cases. One book is called "L change the world" and the other is "Death note: Another note" - L hates socks - He only sleeps 3 hours a day (If he sleeps) which is also the reason he eats so much sugar. Although I believe Kira killed L In the end L lost the battle but won the war.

[@NeverOhVer]

Didn’t he also prevent 9/11, as proven by the World Trade Center in Ep 26?

[@ninalalala486]

u guys are great reactors

[@PhasmalForge]

you know L's real name is L Lawliet

[@tbg152]

What happens now is... The creation of the new world

[@LeonC0704]

Ok ur reaction guys almost made me cry… it is a very sad episode

[@brenosulzbacher]

There is a major problem with the whole plan and the consistency regarding our world. Japan has death penalty, so it makes absolutely no sense for the task force to have this moral barrier against testing it. It doesn't take a genius to piece together that only 2 people would benefit from the 13 day rule. Not only that, L is saying that to their face and he suddenly die and nobody ever gave it a thought again. Well, 6 years later a random guy calling them tells he thinks there might be a fake rule, THEN they put the pieces together.

[@sabbliz]

Nice reaction and discussion!
