This scene is spotted by Light, who happens to pass by, so he takes the notebook home. Just as Light is about to write his own name in the notebook, he suddenly sees the instructions on it.
Speaker A
Whoever's name is written on it will die. Light thinks it is impossible, and immediately writes a murderer's name in the notebook. To his surprise, the next day, that murderer actually dies. To verify if the black notebook is behind
Speaker A
this, Light writes down the name of a thug who often bullies him. Sure enough, the thug dies right on the street. Light feels it is too terrifying and plans to put the black notebook back in its original place, but he encounters a
Speaker A
monster. The monster calls himself Ryuk, a shinigami from the black notebook. Ryuk states that Light is now the new owner of the notebook, and if he writes anyone's name in it, that person will die instantly. Realizing [music] this,
Speaker A
Light immediately decides to execute those who committed crimes but escaped punishment. Over the next few days, people in Tokyo die mysteriously one after another, and these people all share a common trait. They did bad things, but exploited legal loopholes to
Speaker A
avoid punishment. Some people think the killer is a big villain who disrespects the law, but others think the killer is like Batman, fixing the flaws in the law. The public calls this killer Kira.
Speaker A
The mysterious deaths of so many people catch the attention of the police, so they hire the famous detective L to assist in the investigation. [music] Based on Kira's killing times, L judges that Kira is still in college. Combining
Speaker A
this with the fact that Kira can access information on so many bad guys, L deduces that he is a family member of someone working at the police station.
Speaker A
After multiple rounds of screening, L locks his target on Light. Light's father is the police chief, and Light just started college. Therefore, L and the police plant surveillance all over Light's room to watch him. As soon as Light returns home, he finds that the
Speaker A
pencil lead he placed on the doorframe is broken. Clearly, someone secretly entered his room. He also guesses that someone is watching him, so he decides to play along. He sits at his desk reading a book while eating potato
Speaker A
chips. Meanwhile, people in Tokyo still keep dying mysteriously, [music] which indirectly proves that Light is not the killer. However, what they do not know is Light hides the notebook inside the potato chip bag and secretly writes down the bad guys' names. The police
Speaker A
decide to remove the surveillance on Light, but the detective L still believes that Light is not that innocent.
