Death Note 10
Posted: July 19, 2007 Filed under: Death Note 1 Comment »Oh my God, Light Yagami, my hero! There was precisely 0 action in this volume. You know what that means. It was a 200-page dialogue sequence. Am I serious? Totally. I forgive it this time though, because all the dialogue was on Light’s side, and I’m all for Light.
Excuse me while I fangirl about Light some more. There are a handful of scenes from Death Note that I will never forget, because they are too terrifying. First and foremost is the “EXACTLY AS PLANNED” panel from when Light gets his memories back. I still have nightmares about that, and it’s been several months. Tied for second are the face he’s making when he’s bent over L, and also the scene where his dad is finally satisfied that he is not Kira, which is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the entire series. That one was only terrifying because it proved beyond a doubt that Light was a total psychopath more than anything else so far. There were two more scenes in this volume of a disturbing nature, which is why I’m going over all these right now. One was the face Light was making when he said “women are easy,” which was disturbing on many levels. The other was the perfect scene where Kira asks Light if he is God. So yes, there are the best scenes for the first ten volumes of Death Note.
I like the way things are going now. I hope Light can win in the end with this arrangement. I’m going to save these last three as drafts and publish them all at once, for posterity, to see how I like the end of the series. As a head’s up, I quit manga if Light loses.
