Ep. 31: Demegawa orders SPK headquarters breach while Light directs Mikami to kill the TV host
Aired on May 16, 2007

Demegawa orders Kira's followers to attack the SPK headquarters in New York, prompting Misa to wait for an opportunity to kill Near. Near suspects Light is Kira and helps SPK members escape by dropping money from windows. Light emails Misa with a new plan as Aizawa provides Near with information linking Light to the case. Aizawa also requests resumed surveillance on Light and Misa to clear their names, which Light accepts. Meanwhile, Demegawa asks for donations to build a temple, leading Light to have Teru Mikami, the new Death Note owner, kill the television host. Back at headquarters, Aizawa realizes that observing both Light and Misa means the recent killings cannot be attributed to either of them.
