Death Note (Subtitled)

Brilliant but bored high school student Light Yagami suddenly finds himself holding the power of life and death in his hands—the power of the Death Note.

While the world’s criminals continue to drop dead, L meets by computer with representatives from various nations.

Ryuk, the Shinigami, or god of death, who dropped the Death Note into the human world, warns Light that someone is on his trail.

Light—now known to the world as Kira—tests the Death Note to understand the scope of its powers by killing off six convicts in various ways…

Soichiro Yagami demands to meet with L in person when he finds out that L has secretly brought FBI agents into Japan.

Light meets a woman at the Police Department with an urgent message for the Kira task force.

Light uses the Death Note to try to get rid of the woman who could get him captured, and is shocked when it doesn’t work.

L insists on setting up bugs and cameras in the homes of Chief Yagami and Deputy Director Kitamura…

The murders continue, and L grows suspicious of Light’s too-perfect behavior and decides to investigate him on his own.

L’s suspicion of Light deepens, compelling him to invite Light into the investigation.

As predicted on the tapes sent to Sakura TV, news anchors and commentators who expressed doubt about Kira die one by one.

With a second Kira now on the loose, L asks Light to join the task force and pose as the real Kira in order to catch the copycat.

Light goes to Aoyama to discover the identity of the second Kira before L becomes more suspicious.

Light and Misa show each other their Death Notes, and Light asks Misa to have her shinigami Rem get rid of L.

Evidence turns up that points to Misa Amane as the second Kira.

Misa is in confinement, though her memories of the Death Note have been completely wiped away.

After fifty days of confinement the killings continue, and Misa and Light are released.

Though L is still suspicious, Light and Misa, their memories of being Kira wiped clean, return to headquarters…

Matsuda, the task force member assigned to watch Misa, is eager to distinguish himself…

L’s team discovers that the Yotsuba Group meet in secret to discuss the elimination of individuals who are troublesome to their company…
