00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:53,940
SHINIGAMI REALM

2
00:02:02,740 --> 00:02:05,750
What? Two death's heads again?

3
00:02:07,290 --> 00:02:09,960
I win. Don't hold it against me.

4
00:02:10,670 --> 00:02:13,250
Hey, Ryuk. Do you wanna join us?

5
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Join us for once.

6
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,970
No, I'm okay.

7
00:02:27,850 --> 00:02:30,850
I didn't do anything
but he still got upset.

8
00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:34,150
-Really? Then what?
-What's the matter, Yagami?

9
00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:37,280
Please translate the sentence.

10
00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:44,030
Follow the teachings of God.

11
00:02:44,490 --> 00:02:47,750
Then the blessings of the sea
will become bountiful…

12
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,420
And there will be no storms.

13
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Today, at approximately 11:00 a.m.
in Kanagawa Prefecture in Yokohama,

14
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,130
the body of a man
approximately 30-years-old

15
00:02:58,220 --> 00:03:00,720
was found in an apartment,
covered in blood.

16
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,550
Kanagawa Police have opened
a homicide investigation.

17
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:05,060
In other news…

18
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,020
Today, shortly after noon,

19
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:10,980
Naoki Kofuji, 35, was arrested
in connection with the murder

20
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:14,520
of a 25-year-old female
he was living with

21
00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:18,530
in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.

22
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:24,830
Day in, day out.
The same thing over and over again.

23
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:29,660
Jeez. It's so ridiculous.

24
00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:34,380
This world… is rotten.

25
00:03:34,670 --> 00:03:37,590
REBIRTH

26
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,680
No way! You went to see that?

27
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:48,140
It was such a waste of time.
I should've asked for a refund!

28
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:49,680
Well, you did watch it…

29
00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:28,850
Death Note. Directly translated:
a notebook of death.

30
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,770
"How to use it.

31
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,270
The human whose name is written
in this note…

32
00:04:37,940 --> 00:04:39,070
shall die"?

33
00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:42,860
So stupid…

34
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:46,200
This is so sick.

35
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,450
It's no different from a chain letter.

36
00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:54,080
"The human whose name is written
in this note shall die"? Come on.

37
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,470
Seriously, something's the matter with me.

38
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:12,770
"This note will not take effect
unless the writer has the person's face

39
00:05:12,850 --> 00:05:14,390
in their mind when writing
his or her name.

40
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,270
Therefore, people sharing
the same name will not be affected.

41
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:22,190
If the cause of death is written,

42
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,610
within 40 human seconds
of writing the person's name,

43
00:05:24,690 --> 00:05:27,860
it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified,

44
00:05:27,950 --> 00:05:29,450
the person will simply die
of a heart attack.

45
00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:34,370
After writing the cause of death,
details of the death should be written

46
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,460
in the next six minutes
and 40 seconds."

47
00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:41,840
So you can let people die peacefully
or make them suffer.

48
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,050
A prank this intricate
isn't that bad, I guess.

49
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:55,890
Write in their name and they die, huh?

50
00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:58,600
This is so stupid!

51
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:15,910
Wait a minute.

52
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
If someone actually dies,
does that make me a murderer?

53
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,380
No way. That's impossible.

54
00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:27,630
The assailant who killed six people
yesterday

55
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,640
at a busy shopping district in Shinjuku
has now taken eight people hostage,

56
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,560
including children and teachers,
in this daycare center.

57
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:37,310
The police have now identified
the suspect

58
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,560
as 42-year-old Kurou Otoharada,
unemployed.

59
00:06:39,730 --> 00:06:41,610
The police will now begin negotiations
with the suspect.

60
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:45,570
KUROU OTOHARADA

61
00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:51,410
A heart attack in 40 seconds, right?

62
00:06:53,410 --> 00:06:55,450
Well, that is not clear at the moment.

63
00:06:56,620 --> 00:06:59,210
You can't help but be worried
for the hostages right now.

64
00:06:59,290 --> 00:07:00,210
Absolutely.

65
00:07:00,290 --> 00:07:01,500
SHINJUKU PHANTOM KILLER

66
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,250
-This has been a report from the scene.
-Thank you very much.

67
00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:06,800
What do you think, Mr. Hashimoto?

68
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,590
Well, I'm hoping
for a quick resolution to this.

69
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:16,510
Oh well, nothing happened.
What did I expect?

70
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:21,350
Just a minute. Something's happening.

71
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:24,810
The hostages are coming out!
They all seem to be all right!

72
00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:27,280
And now it looks like
the SWAT team is entering!

73
00:07:27,730 --> 00:07:29,110
Has the suspect been arrested?

74
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:30,950
Yes!

75
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,200
We just received word that the suspect
has died inside the daycare center!

76
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,490
The suspect is dead!

77
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:38,910
Dead?

78
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,960
KUROU OTOHARADA

79
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:44,420
The police are strongly denying
that they shot the suspect!

80
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:48,550
Could he have felt cornered
and committed suicide?

81
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,550
According to one of the hostages,
"the suspect suddenly collapsed."

82
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,180
A heart attack.

83
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,390
No way.

84
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:01,850
This is a coincidence.
It's got to be coincidence!

85
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,770
Light!

86
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:08,940
It's almost 6:30. Don't you have
your prep course tonight?

87
00:08:09,190 --> 00:08:11,400
Yeah, I'm getting ready now.

88
00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:13,820
Death Note…

89
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,870
But if this really works…

90
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:20,080
it's worth testing it out one more time.

91
00:08:21,330 --> 00:08:23,420
So, I guess it will have
to be another criminal.

92
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:24,460
UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAMS

93
00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:26,210
But it can't be someone too famous.

94
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,960
If he dies, it's possible news
of it will be covered up.

95
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,130
I need an immediate result.

96
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:35,510
Hey, Ryo baby!

97
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:37,550
What is it, Sudou?

98
00:08:38,010 --> 00:08:39,600
Lend me some money. 20 dollars will do.

99
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:42,060
What? Again?

100
00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:44,190
-Sudou. Shall I kill him?
-What? You refuse?

101
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,150
No, I'd better avoid people around me.

102
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:53,740
No. Why should I worry?

103
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,030
No one would care if one
or two people like him died.

104
00:08:59,530 --> 00:09:02,160
Now we can go to the arcade after school.

105
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Maki, wanna party with some guys tomorrow?

106
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,540
-Absolutely!
-Hey, me too!

107
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,010
Damn it, Mom!
She's not here to pick me up!

108
00:09:14,090 --> 00:09:17,640
Damn it. It's sickening,
every single one of them.

109
00:09:18,010 --> 00:09:21,770
I'd be doing society a favor
by killing them.

110
00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:24,980
Hey, girl!

111
00:09:26,810 --> 00:09:28,690
Wanna come and play with us?

112
00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:31,480
Hey, Taku! You've got a beauty there!

113
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,610
I'm Takuo Shibuimaru.
Shibutaku, for short.

114
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,740
Come on and join me, pretty girl.

115
00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:42,410
-I don't think so.
-She doesn't think so!

116
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,500
She's so cute!

117
00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:51,460
Come on, grab her.
Get those clothes off!

118
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,920
You sure?

119
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,380
Stop!

120
00:09:56,170 --> 00:09:57,050
Please!

121
00:09:57,510 --> 00:09:58,970
Stop!

122
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:03,890
TAKUO SHIBUIMARU
ACCIDENTAL DEATH

123
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:06,230
Now let's see what happens.

124
00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:11,560
-Hey, wait!
-Taku! Watch out!

125
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,950
This… this proves it!

126
00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:23,450
The Death Note is real!

127
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:26,700
Taku! Idiot!

128
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,750
He just jumped out in front of me!

129
00:10:32,380 --> 00:10:35,380
Now then, I'd better get going.

130
00:10:56,820 --> 00:10:58,280
It's been five days since...

131
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,240
All right. I'd better get going.

132
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:04,830
Huh? You going out, Ryuk?

133
00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:08,160
This place is barren everywhere you go.

134
00:11:10,290 --> 00:11:12,210
I dropped my Death Note.

135
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,340
You really messed up big time!

136
00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:20,260
Hey, weren't you carrying around
a second one behind the old man's back?

137
00:11:20,510 --> 00:11:22,300
Are you saying you lost both?

138
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,180
And do you know where you dropped it?

139
00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:27,180
The Human World.

140
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:28,350
-What?
-What?

141
00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:59,510
Welcome home.

142
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,680
-You're early, Light.
-Yeah.

143
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:05,550
I'm back, Mom.

144
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:11,350
The results of the national practice
entrance exams?

145
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:12,640
Hurry!

146
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,560
Here.

147
00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:19,360
Goodness! Number one, again!
You really did your best, Light!

148
00:12:19,570 --> 00:12:23,110
Well, yeah. I'll be studying,
so don't interrupt me.

149
00:12:23,490 --> 00:12:27,950
All right. Oh, Light,
do you want anything?

150
00:12:28,370 --> 00:12:31,790
-Anything at all?
-Not really, Mom.

151
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,040
I already have what I want.

152
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,860
You seem to like it.

153
00:13:05,780 --> 00:13:07,490
Why so shocked?

154
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:12,000
I'm Ryuk, the Shinigami
who dropped that notebook.

155
00:13:12,620 --> 00:13:17,880
From what I just saw,
you already know its no ordinary notebook.

156
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:25,760
A Shinigami...

157
00:13:30,140 --> 00:13:32,180
I'm not shocked, Ryuk.

158
00:13:33,470 --> 00:13:37,350
In fact, I've been waiting for you, Ryuk.

159
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:39,190
Oh?

160
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:44,570
I didn't think Shinigami's Notebooks
were real…

161
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:50,030
but after seeing its results,
I can act with certainty.

162
00:13:50,990 --> 00:13:54,580
I see. You've really surprised me.

163
00:13:55,410 --> 00:14:01,170
I've heard of Death Notes getting
to the Human World a few times before.

164
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,470
But you're the first one to use it
to this extent in just five days.

165
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:07,800
Most people would be
too scared to try it out.

166
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:10,350
I'm prepared, Ryuk.

167
00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:14,140
I used the Death Note knowing
it belonged to a Shinigami.

168
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,810
And now the Shinigami's here.

169
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,810
So, what'll happen to me?
Are you going to take my soul?

170
00:14:20,730 --> 00:14:22,440
Huh? What's that about?

171
00:14:22,690 --> 00:14:25,110
Is that some fantasy of us
you humans came up with?

172
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,320
I'm not going to do anything to you.

173
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:32,280
Once the Death Note lands
in the Human World,

174
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:34,450
it belongs to the Human World.

175
00:14:34,990 --> 00:14:37,910
In other words, it belongs to you.

176
00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:40,250
It belongs to…me?

177
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:43,090
If you don't want it,
give it to some other human.

178
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,760
But if you do, all memory of it
will be erased from your mind.

179
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,800
So, there isn't a price
for using the Death Note?

180
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:59,640
Only the fear and pain humans who have
used the Death Note will experience.

181
00:15:01,190 --> 00:15:02,810
And when you die…

182
00:15:03,730 --> 00:15:07,780
I'll be the one to write your name
on my Death Note.

183
00:15:08,990 --> 00:15:11,450
Don't think for a moment that any human

184
00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:14,620
who's used the Death Note
can go to Heaven or Hell.

185
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,290
That's all.

186
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:24,630
You'll find out about it after you die.

187
00:15:28,670 --> 00:15:29,800
Light?

188
00:15:30,050 --> 00:15:32,180
Don't worry. Go ahead.

189
00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:35,930
What?

190
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:39,480
I brought some apples.
They're from our neighbor.

191
00:15:39,850 --> 00:15:41,730
Why is it so dark in here?

192
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:44,440
-You'll ruin your eyesight!
-What's going on?

193
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:46,860
Mom can't see him?

194
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:52,490
That notebook originally belonged to me.

195
00:15:52,950 --> 00:15:57,910
And since you're the one using it,
you're the only one who can see me.

196
00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:00,830
And of course, only you
can hear my voice.

197
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,120
The Death Note is a bond

198
00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:05,960
between Light the human
and Ryuk the Shinigami.

199
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,970
Tasty.

200
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:15,180
Let me ask you one more thing.
Why did you choose me?

201
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,220
Hey, are you listening?

202
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:24,150
Apples in the Human World are awesome.

203
00:16:24,810 --> 00:16:27,400
What would you call them? Juicy?

204
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:28,980
Answer my question.

205
00:16:29,650 --> 00:16:34,280
I didn't choose you.
I just dropped the notebook.

206
00:16:34,950 --> 00:16:37,700
Did you think you were chosen
because you're smart?

207
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:38,780
Don't flatter yourself.

208
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:43,580
It just happened to fall around here
and you just happened to pick it up.

209
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:45,170
That's all.

210
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,880
That's why I wrote the explanation
in English,

211
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,130
the most popular language
in the Human World.

212
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:52,050
Then why did you drop it?

213
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:54,430
Don't tell me it was by mistake

214
00:16:54,510 --> 00:16:56,840
after you went to the trouble
of writing all those instructions.

215
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,100
Why did I drop it?

216
00:16:59,930 --> 00:17:01,520
Because I was bored.

217
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:04,020
Bored?

218
00:17:06,060 --> 00:17:08,980
Shinigami these days
have so much time on their hands.

219
00:17:09,190 --> 00:17:11,570
They're either taking a nap or gambling.

220
00:17:12,940 --> 00:17:15,450
If others see you studiously scribbling
names in the Death Note,

221
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,280
they'll say, "why are you working
so hard?" and laugh at you.

222
00:17:19,370 --> 00:17:22,290
Writing the names of other Shinigami
doesn't work.

223
00:17:22,870 --> 00:17:25,080
But since we live in the Shinigami Realm,

224
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,580
it's no fun at all to kill people
who live in the Human World!

225
00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:33,090
So, I figured it would be more fun
to come down here myself.

226
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,640
But you sure wrote a lot of names.

227
00:17:39,220 --> 00:17:41,470
But why did you only write down
the cause of death

228
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,140
for that guy who was hit by the truck?

229
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,190
Without the cause of death written down,
they all die of heart attacks.

230
00:17:47,850 --> 00:17:50,770
That's the best thing about
the Death Note, Ryuk.

231
00:17:52,940 --> 00:17:55,820
I can write down the names of criminals

232
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,410
and slowly reduce the number
of evil people.

233
00:17:58,780 --> 00:18:00,160
What's the point?

234
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:05,000
Any fool can figure out someone's
eliminating the bad guys.

235
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,750
I want the world to know of my existence!

236
00:18:09,710 --> 00:18:12,130
And that there's someone
who is passing judgment on them!

237
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,300
But what's the point in passing judgment?
Why do it?

238
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,470
I was bored too.

239
00:18:27,730 --> 00:18:29,520
Naturally, I didn't believe
in it at first.

240
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:33,070
But the Death Note
has a supernatural power

241
00:18:33,150 --> 00:18:35,360
to tempt people to want
to try it at least once.

242
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,860
I killed them!

243
00:18:41,070 --> 00:18:44,120
Two men… I killed them!

244
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:48,410
Human lives shouldn't be taken so lightly.

245
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:52,210
Do I have the right
to judge people like that?

246
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,260
No. I'm not wrong.

247
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:04,390
I've always thought the world is rotten
and that rotten people should die!

248
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:09,020
Someone… someone must do it!

249
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,400
Even if it means sacrificing
one's conscience and life!

250
00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:15,940
Things can't stay like this!

251
00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:19,820
If someone else had picked up
the Death Note,

252
00:19:20,490 --> 00:19:23,700
would they have been able to erase
unwanted people from this world?

253
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,200
No way!

254
00:19:26,330 --> 00:19:29,080
But I can do it!

255
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,380
In fact, I'm the only one who can do it!

256
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,750
And I will… with the Death Note!

257
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,550
I'll change the world!

258
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:19,510
At first, I kept writing the names
of criminals,

259
00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:25,140
like I was cleaning up the world,
so that eventually, no one would do evil.

260
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,770
While those who truly deserve
to be punished for their crimes

261
00:20:29,890 --> 00:20:34,940
die of heart attacks,
people who are immoral or harass others

262
00:20:35,060 --> 00:20:37,610
will slowly be erased through
illness or accidents.

263
00:20:38,570 --> 00:20:42,280
Then the world would truly move
in the right direction.

264
00:20:43,570 --> 00:20:49,450
I would create a new world
of earnest, kind humans.

265
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,460
Then you'd be the only one left…
with a bad personality.

266
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,250
Huh? What are you saying? Ryuk…

267
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,090
I'm probably the best, most diligent,
honorable student in Japan.

268
00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:05,800
And I…

269
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:10,140
will become the god of the new world!

270
00:21:12,850 --> 00:21:14,640
Humans…

271
00:21:16,270 --> 00:21:17,650
are interesting, after all.

272
00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:31,790
TO BE CONTINUED
