Ep. 35: Mello's kidnapping of Takada leads to her killing him before Light forces her suicide
Aired on June 13, 2007
Mello executes a bold abduction of Takada, disrupting the coordinated efforts of Near and Light to arrange a meeting between the SPK and the investigation team. Unprepared for this specific threat, Takada utilizes a fragment of the Death Note she had secretly concealed to write Mello's name, resulting in his death. Upon learning of this outcome, Light employs a separate piece of the Death Note under his control to compel Takada to take her own life, thereby eliminating the witness and resolving the immediate crisis through lethal manipulation.
