Omitted Scene: Ukita at HQ The manga covers a short scene of Ukita (one of the remaining police officers working on the Kira case) by himself at the police station while the other officers are with L and Watari. At the station, he has to answer the phone calls of anyone calling in about the Kira investigation. However, knowing that most, if not all, of the calls he has been answering are completely bogus (the callers even going as far as claiming to be Kira and calling the police for help), Ukita decides to unplug all of the phones in the room, allowing him to smoke his cigarette in peace.
Goof: When Naomi Misora's description if shown on the laptop at L's headquarters, you will notice that her description is made up of nothing but random letters strung together-- something that the Japanese audience would have most likely glazed over.
Ryuk: (moans and screams) The symptoms are starting! Light: (thinking) I'll show you, L! (as Ryuk's symptoms begin, Light begins to study) With Ryuk's information and my preparations, I can continue to kill criminals whose names are broadcast on the news while masquerading as a typical high school student studying for his entrance exams. Just watch me, L. I'll solve equations with my right hand, and write names with my left! I'll take a potato chip... and eat it!
Ryuk: I think that's it, Light. I found every camera they put in the house. I guess shinigami get tired when they work hard. Now lemme explain where they all are. It's a little bit complicated, so listen up-- there's nothing I hate more than explaining something twice! Light: (pretending not to listen due to the surveillance cameras) Alright, it's time for me to hit the books. Ryuk: There sure are a lot of cameras in this room. I counted 64 in total. I guess whoever put them here expected you to at least find some of them...
Light: Are you sure that I can use any date as long as it's before the person's predetermined lifespan? Ryuk: Well, I can't guarantee it because we shinigami don't normally work that way. But I suppose any time before the end of their lifespan should work. Light: I really can't count on you, can I? Ryuk: You got that right.
L: Mr. Matsuda, it's okay for you to turn on your cell phone now. Actually, please turn it on right away. Matsuda: Uh, sure. (he turns on his cell phone and it rings; L rudely snatches it away.) L: (answering) Yes, this is Suzuki, head of Kira's Investigation Public Information Division... (Matsuda twitches in anger)
L: (about Naomi Misora) Well, apparently she's been missing since the day after her fiancé died. Matsuda: I'm sure that anyone in her situation would be pretty depressed. Was it...? Aizawa: Suicide. L: No. The Naomi Misora I knew was strong, not to mention she was also an excellent FBI agent. If anything, it's more likely she'd be trying to catch Kira. It appears she came to Japan with Penber; it's possible that she may have found a lead. (thinking) If that's the case, did Kira manage to get to her first?
(Light enters his room where Ryuk is waiting for him) Ryuk: How's it going? I don't think anyone else is in the house right now; do you want to play some video games? (Light ignores him) Come on, it's been a while!
Light: By the way, Ryuk, what about your apples? Ryuk: Apples? (gasps) That's right, surveillance cameras! Once the apple's in my mouth, no one can see it, but while I'm holding it, it looks like it's floating. Light: I thought so. You told me that shinigami can't die, so I guess it won't kill you to stop eating apples for a while. Ryuk: Don't you think that's a bit much? Come on! I never told you this, but apples are to me what cigarettes and alcohol are to humans. Do you see what I'm saying? I even get withdrawal symptoms!
Ryuk: (to Light) Well, I can't say for sure whether you're extremely generous or just a spoiled brat, but didn't that mini LCD TV cost you 400 bucks?! (Light watches out the window as the mini TV he hid is about to be destroyed by the trash compactor)
Light:(thinking to himself) A normal person would probably be caught by this, but not me, L. This is as far as you get!
Light: (sarcastically) Big help you are. Ryuk: I'm no help at all.
(About Ryuk's "apple withdrawal") Light: What sort of symptoms would you have? Ryuk: My body gets all twisted up and I do headstands. (He demonstrates) Light: I'd hate to see that. Ryuk: I'll bet.
(After Ryuk comments that Light must be popular with girls because of his dexterity) Light: Being dexterous has nothing to do with it. It's more important to be good-looking. Ryuk, are you, by any chance, unpopular with the ladies?
Soichiro: I c-can't believe that my straight-laced son would look at a magazine like that!
