"Making such a dick-sucker a spokesman..." (77)
"What an obvious lie he is telling." (79)
"For me and Mello, L has been the only person we adore, and the only person who deserves our respect." (82)

"Does she understand what she's doing, this stupid woman?" (88)
"To kill me, a potential avenger." (89)

"It's over. You've lost the game."
Mello
"I'll live my own way" (61)
"In the end there is no greater motivation than revenge" (64)
"If anything other than the chopper comes within a 2 mile radius of the spot, you're both dead." (64)
"He's terribly reasonable, this new L." (64)
"So, how about you tell me right now whom you'd like me to kill, and how, I'll treat'cha to it." (67)
"No kidding. So you've got no choice but to listen to us." (67)
"Near, you say clever things" (77)
"I'm not your tool to solve a puzzle!" (77)

"It's my turn to use you." (79)
"Matt... I didn't mean for you to get killed... I'm so sorry..." (99)
Matt
- "Understood." (when being told by Mello to watch Mogi) (83)
- "Damn! Those cars were lying in wait! Just exactly how many bodyguards does Takada have?! Alright, time to put up another smoke screen. (he is surrounded on all sides by Takada's bodyguards) Wait a minute, wait a minute. Since when have the Japanese been allowed to carry such nice guns? I'm an accomplice in the kidnapping of Takada. Don't you have a bunch of questions to ask me? What's the point in firing---" (said immediately prior to being shot to death on account of going against Kira) (99)
Dialogue
- Matt: "The person who lives in the room Mogi entered is a young woman... or a child-like woman."
- Mello: "A woman?"
- Matt: "She looks like Mogi's girlfriend... she went shopping arm in arm with him. It may be strange for me to say this, but she's a pretty cute Japanese woman. I can't be sure of her age, but I'd say from fourteen or fifteen to twenty."
- Mello: "... Are you serious, Matt?"
- Matt: "Yeah, I'm dead serious."
- Mello: "(thinking) If I believe what Hal said, this woman is the second Kira... At least she must have been the second Kira... (speaking) Understood. I can't make a stupid move. You begin."
- Matt: "OK."
- Mello: (calls Matt on his cell phone) Matt, how are you doing?
- Matt: Bored out of my mind! No movement at all. Currently, they have their food delivered to them by stores, and both Aizawa and another Japanese man who entered a while ago still haven't come out yet. Because they haven't come out, I can suspect this place is their headquarters... Anyway, it's too boring to keep watching something that has no movement.
- Mello: Don't complain. It's the same here. Plus, if L is at your place, it's likely that they've moved thinking Aizawa was tailed by SPK and that their hideout's known. Stay alert, or you might be tricked.
- Matt: Then why don't we swap our jobs? Yours would be better, since you can listen secretly to a cute girl...
- Mello: (after being called on his cell phone) What happened, Matt?
- Matt: Mogi and Aizawa have come out. I can't hear what they're talking about, but that have a grim expression that seems quite unnatural to be having when chatting outside.
- Mello: Understood. Keep an eye on them anyway.
- Mello: (after being called on his cell phone) What's going on, Matt? Mogi's in LAX.
- Matt: Shit! I was tricked. They paid off the deliveryman who carried in food yesterday and got out with their equipment on the delivery truck. A moment ago, I caught the deliveryman when he came out counting lots of bills joyfully and asked him. I found the room empty and I don't know how many there were. I've been watching through video cameras on all the doorways and windows, but they hid themselves cunningly behind the door of the delivery truck... damn them...
- Mello: (thinking) I warned him not to let down his guard... (speaking) Matt, I'm going to Japan after Mogi. You come later, too.
- Matt: Huh? Japan? you mean it?
Rem
"Humans are such ugly creatures." (37)
"Light Yagami might be as pure as Misa... he was not using the death note for himself, but rather he was using the notebook in order to better humanity as a whole." (47)
"Light...he can even kill a shinigami, he has surpassed us." (58)
Dialogue
Light: "L"
L: "Kira"
Both: "I will hunt you down where ever you are hiding and I will eliminate you."
Light:"I am..."
L:"I am..."
Both:"Justice!" (2)
"Light: What was it?
L: Nothing. Just another of Matsuda's unimportant idiocies.
Light: Well, Matsuda does have that natural ignorance...
Matsuda: Those two know that we can hear them, right?" (38)
"Misa: Hey Light, wanna sleep with me tonight?
Light: Wh...What are you talking about?
Misa: Just kidding! You're saving me for after we catch Kira, right? You don't have to be shy about it!
L: Yes, Light. There's no need to be shy.
Light: I'm not being shy!
L: No need to be so serious, either." (48)
"Light: Then I suppose that when I meet with Misa, it will have to be outside of here.
L: Huh, you want to meet her?." (55)
"Light: Misa, I want you to know my feelings. I don't want you to shorten your life by doing the deal, I don't want to manipulate you like that. I'd rather live a lasting life with you in our ideal world.
Misa (tearing): Light.
Ryuk (thinking): Like hell you do.
Misa (hugs): I'm so glad!
Ryuk (thinking): All this girl does is hug..." (56)
"Mello (after Shidou takes the notebook): The notebook flew by itself.
?: It can't be.
?: It's a notebook that kill a human. It's no suprise if it's alive." (70)
"Light: Near, try to escape from that place now.
Near: How dare you say that, when you are Kira.
Light: W-what... Why are you still saying such a thing?..." (80)
Matsuda: "I wonder, is it about ten million dollars?
Ryuk: How many apples could I buy with that?" (80)
Near: "Thank you for your useful information. You two may go back now.
Aizawa: You heard that much and just say 'go back'"
Near (pouting): And so I thanked you for your useful information..." (80)
Near: "Lester could you come back one more time to command the center in New York?" (he's currently in Japan)
Lester: One more time?"
Near: I'm also going to Japan"
Lester: So during that time you want me to come to New York and stay watch?"
Near: No"
Lester: Then why do you want me in New York?"
Near: I've never experienced the first class procedures of riding a plane alone, so I want you to come back so we can go together." (89)
Near: "What is it, L?
Light: Misa Amane and Mogi are missing.
Near: Yes. We have abducted them.
Light: Near... for what reason?
Near: For insurance." (95)
"Giovanni: If there are shinigami, I might die, right?
Near: Yes.
Giovanni: ...
Near: If you are scared, I'll ask Lester to go.
Lester: ..."
"Misa: Namikawa's pretty good. Considering his looks, I was expecting that.
L: No, that was a screw-up by Yagami-kun.
Light: (Sweatdrop) ..."
"L: Either we lose and we die together, or we successfully catch Kira" (To Misa) Which is it?
Misa: We catch Kira! I would never dream about living in a world without Light.
L: Yes, That would be dark..."
Death Note rules from anime series
- Episode 1:
The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
- Episode 2:
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
After writing the cause of death, details of death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
- Episode 3:
This note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world.
The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, i.e. a god of death.
- Episode 4:
The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.
- Episode 5:
The human who touches the DEATH NOTE can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name.
- Episode 6:
If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note.
Gods of death, the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the deaths in the note.
- Episode 7:
A god of death has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it.
A god of death can extend his life by putting human names on the note, but humans cannot.
- Episode 8:
A person can shorten his or her own life by using the note.
The human who becomes the owner of the DEATH NOTE can, in exchange of half of his/her remaining life, get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable him/her to see a human's name and remaining lifetime when looking through them.
- Episode 9:
A god of death cannot be killed even if stabbed in his heart with a knife or shot in the head with a gun. However, there are ways to kill a god of death, which are not generally known to the gods of death.
The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonable...
- Episode 10:
The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out.
One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.
- Episode 11:
The instrument to write with can be anything, ((e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc)) as long as it can write directly on the note and remains as legible letters.
Even the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, gods of death, do not know much about the note.
- Episode 12:
You may also write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the written cause of death. You have about 19 days (according to the human calendar) in order to fill in a name.
Even if you do not actually possess the DEATH NOTE, the effect will be the same if you can recognize the person and his/her name to place in the blank.
- Episode 13:
The DEATH NOTE will not affect those under 780 days old.
The DEATH NOTE will be rendered useless if the victim's name is misspelled four times.
- Episode 14:
"Suicide" is a valid cause of death. Basically all humans are thought to possess the possibility to commit suicide. It is, therefore, not something "unbelievable to think of".
Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, If the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.
- Episode 15:
Even after the individual's name, the time of death, and death condition on the DEATH NOTE were filled out, the time and condition of death can be altered as many time as you want, as long as it is changed within 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time it was filled in. But, of course, this is only possible before the victim dies.
Whenever you want to change anything written on the DEATH NOTE within 6 minutes and 40 seconds after you wrote, you must first rule out the characters you want to erase with two straight lines.
- Episode 16:
The time and condition of death can be changed, but once the victim's name has been written, the individual's death can never be avoided.
If you lose the DEATH NOTE or have it stolen, you will lose its ownership unless you retrieve it within 490 days.
- Episode 17:
If you have traded the eye power of a god of death, you will lose the eye power as well as the memory of the DEATH NOTE, once you lose its ownership. At the same time, the remaining half of your life will not be restored.
You may lend the DEATH NOTE to another person while maintaining its ownership. Subletting it to yet another person is possible, too.
- Episode 18:
The borrower of the DEATH NOTE will not be followed by a god of death. The god of death always remains with the owner of the DEATH NOTE. Also the borrower can not trade the eyesight of the god of death.
When the owner of the DEATH NOTE dies while the Note is being lent, its ownership will be transferred to the person who is holding it at that time.
- Episode 19:
If the DEATH NOTE is stolen and the owner is killed by the thief, its ownership will automatically be transferred to the thief.
When the same name is written on more than two DEATH NOTES, the Note which was first filled in will take effect, regard less of the time of death.
- Episode 20:
If written the same name on more than two DEATH NOTES is completed within a 0.06-second difference, it is regarded as simultaneous; the DEATH NOTE will not take effect and the individual written will not die.
The god of death must at least own one DEATH NOTE. That DEATH NOTE must never be lent to or written by a human.
- Episode 21:
Exchanging and writing on the DEATH NOTE between the gods of death is no problem.
If the god of death decides to use the DEATH NOTE to kill the assassin of an individual he favours, the individual's life will be extended, but the god of death will die.
- Episode 22:
The dead god of death will disappear, but the DEATH NOTE will remain. The ownership of this DEATH NOTE is usually carried over to the next god of death that touches it, but it is common sense that it is returned to the Great god of death.
Only by touching each other's DEATH NOTE can human individuals who own the DEATH NOTE in the human world recognize the appearance or voice of each other's god of death.
- Episode 23:
An individual with the eye power of a god of death can fell the name and life span of the other humans by looking at that person's face. By possessing the DEATH NOTE, an individual gains the ability to kill and stops being a victim. From this point, a person with the DEATH NOTE cannot see the life span of other DEATH NOTE owners, including him/herself. But, it is not really necessary for the individual to view the life span of him/herself nor other DEATH NOTE owners.
The god of death must not tell humans the names or life spans of individuals he sees. This is to avoid confusion in the human world.
- Episode 24:
It is prerequisite for the DEATH NOTE used in the human world that a living god of death makes sure that the humans in the human world use it.
It is very difficult to consider that a god of death who has possessed a human could die, but if he should die, the DEATH NOTE that he brought into the human world will not lose its power.
- Episode 25:
- Episode 26:
- Episode 27:
If you just write "die of accident" for the cause of death the victim will die from a natural accident after 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time of writing it.
Even though only one name is written in the DEATH NOTE if it influences and causes other humans that are not written in it to die the victim's cause of death will be a heart attack.
- Episode 28:
If you have traded the eye power of a god of death you will see a person's primary life span in the human world.
The name you see with the eye power of a god of death are the names needed to kill that person. You will be able to see the names even if than (that) person isn't registered in the family registration.
- Episode 29:
If a person loses possession of a DEATH NOTE, they will not recognize the gods of death by sight or voice any more, If however, the owner lets someone else touch his DEATH NOTE, from that time on, that person will recognize the god of death.
In accordance with the above, the human who touched the DEATH NOTE and began to recognize the gods of death's sight and voice, will continue to recognize it until that human actually owns the DEATH NOTE and subsequently looses possession of it.
- Episode 30:
If a DEATH NOTE owner accidentally misspells a name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the DEATH NOTE, However, if they intentionally misspell the name four times, the DEATH NOTE owner will die.
The person whose name was misspelled four times on purpose will not be free of death by a DEATH NOTE.
- Episode 31:
When regaining ownership of the DEATH NOTE, the memories associated with the DEATH NOTE will also return. In cases where you were involved with other DEATH NOTEs as well, memories of all the DEATH NOTEs involved will return.
Even without obtaining ownership, memories will return just by touching the DEATH NOTE.
- Episode 32:
If a DEATH NOTE is owned in the human world against the god of death's will, that god of death is permitted to stay in the human world in order to retrieve it.
In that case, if there are other DEATH NOTEs in the human world, the gods of death are not allowed to reveal to humans that DEATH NOTE's owner or its location.
- Episode 33:
In the event that there are more than 6 DEATH NOTEs in the human world, only the first 6 DEATH NOTEs that have been delivered to humans will have effect.
The seventh DEATH NOTES will not become active until one of the other 6 DEATH NOTEs is burned up, or a god of death takes one of them back to the world of gods of death.
- Episode 34:
The DEATH NOTE will not take effect if you write a specific victim's name using several different pages.
But the front and back of a page is considered as one page. For example, the DEATH NOTE will still take effect even if you write the victim's surname on the front page and given name on the back.
- Episode 35:
In the world of gods of death there are a few copies of what humans may call user guidebook for using the DEATH NOTE in the human world. However, the guidebook is not allowed to be delivered to humans.
It is perfectly okay for gods of death to read the guidebook for him/herself and teach humans about his contents, no matter what the content may be.
- Episode 36:
The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell
- Episode 37:
All humans will, without exception, eventually die.
After they die, the place they go is MU. (Nothingness)
