this is totally cheating but...

[antpower]

even though I haven't read the manga, I TOTALLY MUST READ THE NEW DEATH NOTE ONE-SHOT!!!


Oh L! Oh Light! You are so pretty with your DEATH SCENE OF MANY TEARS!

Hello Ryuk! And dead!Light.

I hope this chapter cheers me up, because I've been awfully depressed since I watched episode 25 and I'm sure it's not the weather or the fact that I've been staying up too late reading L/Light fic. It's totally the grief!!

You'd think that even if they couldn't announce that Light was Kira, they would've told people that Kira was dead. But I guess, I'm not a genius of deductive reasoning.

Ooh, new Death Note! I guess that makes sense, as that is the name of the series.

YES, PEOPLE ON THE INTERNETS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! THIS IS TRUE FACTS!

Old Matsuda!! You are trying to use logic and stuff, that is AWESOMELY CUTE OF YOU!!! ROFL, Near is 'probably wetting himself' :P Matsuda, I love you.

That's the freaking hugest card tower I've ever seen. He still has his L finger puppet. He clearly didn't get that psychological help I advised. Oh, he sort of has a grudging respect for Light, doesn't he. I don't know why that endears him to me more than his L obsession, but it does a bit. I like how his opinion about it is the opposite of Matsuda's. Cheap-Kira, lol.

Dude, he's only talked to L once and he's this obsessed? I guess I can't judge.

OOOH, L FLASHBACK! He describes himself in a very detrimental way, doesn't he. I guess it's accurate, though I would've also added 'awesome', 'adorable' and other things of that nature.

HELLO RYUK! ROFL, he's got them all addicted to apples.

LOL, Sakura TV, how is that still on air? Crazy wanting to die people. Why don't they just kill themselves the old-fashioned way.

WTF is Near doing?? Near is the freaking craziest one of the lot, I think.

WTF, the person using the Death Note killed themselves because of Near??? Or just because? That's so lame of them.

OH, RYUK IS FLASHING BACK ABOUT LIGHT! That breaks my heart a little bit. He agrees that the person using the Death Note was lame. I <3 you, Ryuk. And now he has a spare Note AND apples! Cool.

Wait, is that it? Okay then. I guess I'm slightly cheered up.

...that was not so much a card tower as a freaking card EMPIRE.

I feel a little cheated by how we didn't actually get to find out who cheap-Kira is! What kind of ending is having him top himself and NOT REVEALING HIS IDENTITY??? Though the flashback of Raito is much awww-ness!!

I could think a few reasons for not telling people that Kira is dead.
1) People would make a martyr out of him.
2) They would rather have Kira disappoint his fans by not acting.
3) Somebody would try to take Kira's place. Which happened anyway, but a lot later.
4) Criminals would have a field day after Kira's death.
On the other hand sometimes it's hard to see the supposed genius in their thought process.

Now it's 82% certain there is a shinigami gene making them addicted to apples. Theory that it was Ryuuk's personal quirk is thus dropped.

Near and his card towers reminded me a spider in his web. He really does take his job description too seriously.

And now I want to know what Ryuuk did with his extra death notes.
