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 tries to discover where Mello and his Mafia associates are hiding and uses Misa’s eyes to find the Death Note’s current owner.

Light, acting as L, reveals to Near that his sister Sayu has been kidnapped by someone wanting to trade her for the Death Note.

A new investigator steps forward—Near, a central figure in the SPK, an organization that is trying to catch Kira without relying on L.

Light has removed everyone in his way and is closer to achieving his perfect world.

Light, his memory recovered, orders Misa to begin killing after Higuchi dies.

Higuchi is captured and tells the investigators about the Death Note.

Higuchi of the Yotsuba Group attempts to kill Matsuda of the task force, and is surprised when he doesn’t die after 40 seconds.

Misa succeeds in narrowing down the Kira suspects in the Yotsuba Group to one: Higuchi.

The Yotsuba Group hires Eraldo Coil to uncover L’s identity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
