And with this, Kira finally is about to face an opponent with another Death Note. Still, I think I’m liking his human opponents more. It’ll be interesting to see how normal humans face against someone equipped with the Death Note. And furthermore, this doesn’t seem like a challenging antagonist as well. Okay, she has the Death Note, she has made the eye-deal, though she’s also incredibly naive, from the things that we saw of her. I’d have loved to see a bit more mystery behind her, though the end of the episode basically blew all secrets about her, after all the time the first part of the episode spent introducing her. Also, if you just look at the OP, you’ll see a rather spoilery scene about what will probably happen between the two Kira’s in the following episodes.
Light had a surprisingly small role in this episode, though I really liked him. He does remain an interesting character, and this episode only proved this even more. He’ll also be put in a rather interesting situation, basically hunting himself and his impersonator. The next couple of episodes can really turn out either incredibly good or incredibly bad. It all depends on whether Misa can still be interesting and provide a few twists.
Also, I’m wondering whether the lyrics in the OP show any meaning. I especially mean the last part, where Light says that he hopes to show a certain “you” a perfect world. Could Light be doing all this for a certain person? Up till now, we don’t really know anything of Light’s friends, or the people he hangs out with, let alone his history. Like I said before, I’d love to see some of Light’s and L’s histories. ^^
