  • L has more than his work cut on this. Light is still ten steps ahead of him.

    I thought the previous episode was intellectually shattering, but I found this episode also quite remarkable in a different way. I have to say, this was the funniest episode of the series so far.



    It's hard to take L and the investigation team seriously when they are snacking on ice cream scoops. And I was laughing out loud when I saw Ryuk's reaction to not being able to eat apples anymore. It just amazes how his intimidating looks wash away when he acts like that. And you gotta love the way they made eating a bag of potato chips look so dramatic.



    It amazes me how far ahead Light thinks about things. What he does to make sure nobody has been in his room and writing criminals names in the Death Note just in case something happens to him very smart. Light has had a rush of blood on a few occasions (in episode two when he killed the fake L) and a few times when he hasn't been in complete control (in the previous episode when he was trying to find out Naomi's name) but he seemed a lot more in control in this episode.

    This episode really shows how smart and precise Light is, even in his daily life. He comes home to no one and is already partially suspicious. He goes up to his door and instantly knows by touching his door handle that someone had been there.



    Being the person he is, and especially since he got the notebook, he has become exact in what he does. The doorknob to his room is always at an angle, so that he knows if someone has been in his room or not. He also puts a piece of lead into the door crack so if someone opened it, it would break. There is also a slip of paper he puts into his door that someone took the time to put back in the door after leaving. This is where another part of his genius is shown. He now knows someone has been in his room and he wants to know who.



    Light enters his room and Ryuk goes on and on about how they haven't played video games in a while. Ryuk really wants to play, but Light ignores everything and leaves his room.



    Light then tells Ryuk outside that he thinks that there are cameras in his room. He gives Ryuk the insentive that he won't be able to eat apples unless he can find a blind spot. Ryuk then agrees to find all the cameras.



    Light uses Ryuk to find all of the cameras in his room, 64 in total. Light is prepared for something like this. He has "inappropriate" magizines hidden in dummy encyclopedias, hidden just for this kind of situation. He also buys another one so that it looks like he was getting a new issue for his collection.



    His dad freaks out watching Light look at the magizines, but L tells him that it's normal.



    Sayu fawns over a movie star and her mom tells her to eat. L has a broadcast come up that is about having 1500 investigators go after Kira. Light makes a clever comment about it, not breaking his composure at all. He takes a bag of chips for studying and goes upstairs.



    Finding out the location of all of the cameras, Ryuk then goes on and on about where they are as Light pretends to study. Ryuk also whines about how he wants an apple.



    Light has a mini TV so he can still kill criminals in this bag of chips. Only he eats these type of chips, it was safe to have the TV in it. The volume is turned down low enough that it can only be heard by him. He kills off some criminals with the Death Note, but to the cameras and the Japanese Task Force, it looks like he's studying. To keep from raising suspision, he throws away the bag with the TV still in it. Ryuk makes a comment later when his mom wants to take his trash from his room that the Mini TV cost Light $400. Light just brushes it off as he watches his mom give the garbage men the trash.



    This is one of the episodes early on that really show Light's character and genius. Later on, we'll see how he gets smarter and even can break under pressure. But Light pulls through to the end...well, if you want to know the end, watch it yourself.
  • And Light Yagami, my children, is who we would call, an evil genius.

    I don't remember, but I think this is the episode where Light pulls one over on L using a bag of chips, isn't it? If it's not, it's close to it. Anyway, L, being the super hot private detective that he is (I'm wearing a T-shirt with his face on it right now!!!) has already figured out that Light Yagami is Kira, he just needs some proof. So he bugs Light's room! LOL, I have expected Light to do something dirty, and he did. He pulled out a punch of porn magazines and pretended that's what he did in his room all day instead of killing people!!!!! :P OK, OK, OK, so Light pretends do to his homework after reading porn and makes Ryuk go around his room and counts the cameras. I think it's the next episode where Light does the trick with the bag of chips... If not, here's what happens. Light goes out and buys a $400 mini TV and sticks it inside a bag of chips, which he takes to his room and pretends to do his homework, while he's actually writing in the Death Note. He can see the little TV, but L can't from the camera angles. But in the end, he ends up having to throw away the little TV to avoid suspicion. How sad. :(
  • L puts Light under surveillance but Light already knows.

    L puts cameras and wiretaps in the Yagami house hold because Light is under suspicion. Light has a few precautions and notices that someone has gone into his room. He tries to throw of L's suspicion that Light is Kira so he does normal things a high school boy would do. Light seems too innocent and will continue to investigate him. Ryuk, determined to eat his apples in secret, found 64 cameras in Light's room. He now knows that there isn't a place in Light's room where he can eat his apples. In general, this episode was good because it explained how determined L is to find Kira.
  • This episode is alright, not the best.

    This episode was slightly better than the previous one. This episode seemed like it was made to be a funny one, but it didn't do much in that department for me.



    This is one of the most interesting parts in the series, but this verison wasn't actually as good as the manga verison was. Tons of cameras are set up inside of Light's home and he must find a way to still kill people without being seen.



    The animation was flawless however, and as always, the voice acting is very good like usual. I just don't know what went wrong with the script! I'm just disappointed that this episode had to turn out this way.
  • Epic chip-eating to the extreme.

    If any episode of this series has the right to be called the comedy of the series, this would be it. A good deal of the humor is extremely dry, appealing to a more sophisticated audience. This appeal is a foundation for Death Note, and it's wonderful to know that between the serious encounters and nail-biting high action, there's still room for comedy.



    The contents of the episode were lack-luster compared to that of other episodes. The thrill factor left me crying for another episode. Character development was null, as all we really saw was Light displaying his clever use of a bag of chips and 300 dollars. An 8/10 episode at most.
  • L sets up cameras in Light's house to try and see who is Kira.

    Very clever episode. L and the Task Force talk some more and L decides to put security cameras in Mr. Yagami's house and another Agent's house to try and see if their family has anything suspicious up their sleeves. Light realizes that something is wrong when he gets home so even though Ryuk is talking to him, he ignores him just in case. Ryuk and Light figure out that there are 64 cameras just in Light's room. Light uses the Death Note to kill recent criminals that were on the news by sneaking in a little TV in the chip bag he brought up to his room. L is even more suspicious because Light is too perfect. Great episode!
  • A few errors occur making this episode imperfect.

    1. L actually suspects the girl and the mother for awhile in this episode. 2. Light buys a small LCD television just for this! how uncharacterisitc of him.

    3. 64 cameras and not 1 can see the T.V.

    4. cameras can't see what he writes with both his hands



    the suspense is still there throughout the episode, you finally get to see just how clever Light really is in a tough position once again, but it could have still been much much better. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
  • Why? Because this has left many openings...

    I think after watching this episode i will be able to predict what happens in the rest of the series but because this program is well thought out i may be wrong hence why I'm still sitting here watching this brilliant story line. I believed that Kira approached the situation wrong in this episode and should of cracked under the circumstances that he is being watched and should of acted scared about the situation instead of acting 'normal' but we will find out what happens to Kira in the next episode but i know for a fact he will not get caught and i think that L will pretend as if he has given up on the fact that Kira is a suspect BUT we shall see....

    Overall this episode was very fun to watch and great to see the Team 7 to move onto catching the Kira.. and once again this episode clinched me in and has made me want to watch the next one.. and Kira is defiantly in trouble
  • Light is a genius! What's new?!!

    L suspect that Light might still be Kira, because his behavior was too perfect! Not a good enough reason…But it's what they call detective hunch! Also the other investigation team members hear about Naomi Misora's apparent suicide; as L worked with her previously, he knows that isn't like her at all. Since she was Ray Penbar's fiance, he narrows the investigation down to those Penbar was following; namely the Yagami family. He orders cameras and bugs to be installed in the houses and rooms of the top suspects in the Kira case, and Light is one of them. Light fools L and the cameras, he hides a mini TV in a bag of potato chips, and watches the news on that while he's supposedly studying. And uses that method to right criminal names on the death note! Very smart way and original, I t seems as you get deeper in this series you get more surprised and impressed.
  • Not even sixty-plus hidden cameras in his room will stop Light: he's getting better and better at the Kira game.

    Early on, L and the other investigation team members hear about Naomi Misora's apparent suicide; as L worked with her previously, he knows that isn't like her at all. Since she was Ray Penbar's fiance, he narrows the investigation down to those Penbar was following; namely the Yagami family.

    So they install a ton of cameras and bugs in the house; Light finds out because he's just a genius like that. A hilarious scene follows in which Light just totally ignores Ryuk thanks to the bugs. Poor Ryuk; I officially became a fan of his watching this episode.

    However, Light shows that not even cameras will hinder him: don't ask me how or when, but he hides a mini TV in a bag of potato chips, and watches the news on that while he's supposedly studying. As frustrating as that was to watch for a Kira hater like myself, you have to admit it's an ingenious idea: who on earth would question the contents of a bag of potato chips?

    As genius as he is, though, he's not smart enough to actually keep the TV in the end.

    So in a nutshell, it is once again emphasized that Light is a child prodigy, but is hinted that L still isn't fooled quite yet.

    L and Light both show off their extreme powers of observation and keen intellect in this nail biting episode.

    Cameras and bugs are installed in the houses and rooms of the top suspects in the Kira case, and Light is one of them. He immediately notices this, however, but the troubles for him only increase, because the steady flow of criminal deaths must still be distributed at the same pace as ever, and his behavior must also maintained as normal and in character...

    Both Light and L’s clever brilliance never cease to amaze, as usual… but only seems to grow as the story unfolds...
  • L's plan slowly unfolds.......

    This episode is aout how L's further investigation of Ray Penbar's death, and Light's room being stocked with survelence cameras......



    The episode begins with L and the others up late at night. L is brilliant enough to spot something important about Ray Penbar's death. Since Penbar was investigating Light, L decides to tap Lights room, and use several servelence cameras. Light notices when he enters his room that someone has been in there, so he is forced to use the death note in a much more clever way. It involved a bag of potato chips, and a small TV. This clears L's suspicion of Light, for now.
