Aired on October 11, 2006
Interpol convenes to address a surge of inexplicable heart attacks among criminals. Unable to solve the mystery, they contact L, the world's top-ranked detective, who maintains his true identity as a secret. Communicating via computer and electronic voice, L informs them that the deaths are mass murders and that he will soon confront the killer, referred to by the public as Kira. This announcement angers Light, who has worked hard to keep the Death Note hidden, especially since Ryuk now becomes visible to anyone who touches the book. L subsequently tricks Light into revealing that Kira resides in Japan's Kanto region through a fabricated television broadcast. Realizing he has been outmaneuvered, a humiliated Light vows to eliminate L.
