Death Note– Full Story Explained (Detailed Story Breakdown) (Part 4) {Anime Lore Hub}

Scene 1: The Quiet Before the Storm

After Higuchi is captured and the Death Note is confirmed real, everything changes. The investigation now has proof of supernatural murder. For the first time, all detectives fully believe in Shinigami and the notebook of death.

Light stands among them looking like a hero — calm, collected, smiling. Inside, however, Kira has completely returned. The god complex is alive again. He now plans his greatest victory:

Defeating the only man who has ever truly threatened him —
L.

L sits silently, staring at Light. There is no happiness in his eyes. No relief. Only a heavy, unexplainable sadness.

He knows something is wrong. He feels it through instinct. Through intuition. Through something deeper than logic.

But he cannot prove it.


Scene 2: The Last Friendship That Was Never Real

L and Light still act like partners.

They sit together. Eat together. Walk together. Talk about justice together.

Sometimes they even laugh.

To everyone else, they look like close friends solving one of the greatest mysteries in history.

But underneath?

Each moment is suffocating tension.

Light smiles at L.

L looks at Light and silently thinks:

“If I die… it will probably be by your hands.”

Light looks back and silently thinks:

“Soon, you won’t exist anymore.”


Scene 3: Misa Returns… and So Does Death

With Light’s memories back, Misa once again becomes the Second Kira. She regains her Death Note. She regains her Shinigami eyes. And once again, Rem watches over her protectively.

Light wastes no time.

He commands Misa indirectly. He manipulates her with affection. He uses her love as a weapon.

Misa resumes killing criminals while acting cute and innocent.

And now L’s suspicion skyrockets again.

Misa is too conveniently close. Murders resumed too perfectly timed. Everything points toward her.

And if Misa is guilty…

Then Light must be guilty too.


Scene 4: L’s Final Deduction

L is closer than ever. His brain connects more and more pieces. He watches Light silently.

He does not say it out loud…
but deep in his mind he knows:

Light is Kira.

He cannot prove it. But he feels it.

Fate is cruel. He solved the truth… but truth without evidence is useless.

L quietly begins preparing something heartbreaking: A future where he no longer exists.

Because deep down…

He knows he is going to die.


Scene 5: The Rain Scene

One of the most haunting scenes in Death Note happens quietly.

It rains.

Heavy. Sad. Cold.

L stands in the rain without an umbrella. Light comes to him. For the first time… they speak softly.

No tension. No pretending. No fake smiles.

Just two geniuses under rain, sharing silence.

L wipes Light’s feet gently with a towel. Viewers argue forever what this scene means: respect… farewell… guilt… acknowledgment…

But one truth echoes:

This is their last moment of something close to friendship.


Scene 6: Rem’s Agony

Meanwhile, Rem watches everything.

She sees:

  • Misa’s life is in danger
  • L will eventually arrest and execute her
  • Misa will suffer again
  • Misa will die

And Rem loves Misa.

Shinigami normally don’t feel love. They are supposed to be indifferent. But Rem cares deeply.

Rem knows one rule above all:

“If a Shinigami kills a human to extend that person’s life, the Shinigami dies.”

If Rem kills L to protect Misa… Rem will die.

But Misa will live.

Rem now faces the hardest decision: die for love or watch Misa die.

And Light knows this rule.

He has been quietly pushing events manipulating Rem’s heart forcing her into a corner so that she will do the killing for him.

Light doesn’t need to write L’s name.

He will make someone else sacrifice their life for him.

The ultimate manipulation.


Scene 7: The Final Moment

Inside the investigation headquarters, everyone is gathered. Tension fills the air.

L hears church bells. There are no churches nearby. Yet he hears them.

As if death itself is ringing.

He turns slowly. His eyes widen…

He understands.

Too late.


Scene 8: The Death of a Legend

Rem makes her choice.

She writes two names:

L Lawliet. Watari.

Watari dies instantly. L stands alone. The room falls silent. He looks up…

And collapses.

The childlike genius. The lonely mind. The greatest detective.

Falls into Light’s arms.

Light holds him gently.

And then…

Light smiles.

A slow cold victorious smile.

Because he has won.

He whispers inside his mind:

“Goodbye, L.”

Kira has killed justice itself.

The world grows quieter.

Anime history changes forever.


Scene 9: The Death of Rem

Because she killed to save Misa, Rem’s body disintegrates into dust. Her existence fades. Her notebook falls into Light’s control.

Another victory.

Light not only killed L, he killed a Shinigami, took her Death Note, and protected his position.

Perfect. Flawless. Cruel.


Scene 10: The World Belongs to Kira

With L dead…

Light becomes the new head of the Kira Investigation.

Irony at its peak:

The murderer… now leads the investigation to catch himself.

Police trust him. The world trusts him. Justice itself trusts him.

Light Yagami becomes untouchable.

A smiling angel in public. A ruthless god in the shadows.

Kira now rules the world without challenge.

Or so he believes.

Because somewhere else…

Two new shadows begin to move.

Two successors.

Two new rivals.

And the war is far from over.


Scene 11: A World Without Its Greatest Detective

L is gone.

For the first time since Kira appeared, the world truly feels fear. Criminals die faster. Justice systems weaken. Nations argue. Fear replaces law. The one man capable of standing equal to Kira has vanished.

The world’s balance collapses.

People begin to worship Kira openly. Entire social groups praise him. News channels treat him as a necessary god.

Kira is no longer rumor. He is reality.

And behind that divine fear…

Light Yagami smiles quietly.


Scene 12: The God Becomes Law

Light now leads the Kira investigation.

The murderer controls the investigation of his own murders.

He sits at the very desk that once belonged to L. He commands police. He manipulates information. He filters every clue. He directs the world’s justice system…

while being the world’s greatest criminal.

Light has achieved the impossible.

He has become the god of justice in a world that let justice die.

But fate never leaves power unchecked.

Because while one legend has fallen…

two successors begin to rise.


Scene 13: The Birth of L’s Successors

In an orphan home for gifted children run by Watari, there exist children raised to inherit L’s genius legacy.

Among them…

Two stand above all.


Scene 14: The Cold Successor — Near

A quiet boy sits on the floor playing with toys. White hair. Emotionless expression. Childlike posture. But behind that innocent look lies a brain terrifyingly sharp.

Near.

He doesn’t seek attention. He doesn’t crave praise. He doesn’t express anger.

He simply analyzes.

He calmly listens to the news of L’s death. He closes his eyes.

And without hesitation…

He accepts the mission.

Near will continue L’s will.

But unlike L, Near doesn’t work alone. He has the American government behind him. He controls the SPK — a powerful anti-Kira task force.

Where L fought privately… Near fights globally.


Scene 15: The Rebel Successor — Mello

In the same orphanage exists another boy.

Blonde hair. Sharp glare. Candy always in his mouth. Fire in his spirit.

Mello.

Not calm like Near. Not emotionless. Not patient.

He is passion. Impulse. Aggression.

Where Near is ice… Mello is fire.

He hates losing. He hates falling behind. And he hates Near’s calm superiority.

When offered the position of L’s successor…

Mello refuses.

He will defeat Kira his own way.

Even if it means becoming something dark.


Scene 16: Two Paths, One Goal

Both Near and Mello want the same thing:

To defeat Kira. To honor L. To restore balance.

But their paths split.

Near chooses strategy. Mello chooses chaos.

They are rivals. They are opposites. They are two halves of L’s mind.

L divided into two children… instead of being reborn as one.

And that split shapes the fate of the world.


Scene 17: Kira Tightens His Grip

Meanwhile, Light enjoys complete dominance.

He now controls:

  • Police forces
  • Investigation data
  • The flow of justice
  • The fear of nations

Politicians bow to Kira. Citizens support Kira. Society slowly accepts murder as law.

Kira becomes “normal.”

Light feels invincible.

Even Ryuk enjoys watching the world twist under Light’s influence.

But the name Near soon reaches Light.

And for the first time since L’s death…

Light feels a cold warning in his heart.


Scene 18: Near Makes His Move

Near begins analyzing everything from the beginning.

He studies:

  • Kira’s patterns
  • Previous suspects
  • Naomi Misora case
  • FBI deaths
  • L’s suspicions
  • Light Yagami

And almost immediately…

Near senses what L sensed.

Light Yagami. Too perfect. Too suspicious. Too connected.

Near does not rush. He does not accuse loudly.

He simply watches. Quietly. Patiently.

He places invisible traps… and waits.


Scene 19: Mello Chooses War

While Near dissects the world logically…

Mello chooses destruction.

He does what L never dared to do:

He attacks violently. He crosses moral lines. He uses criminals. He manipulates dangerous organizations.

Mello is reckless but effective.

And his chaos shakes Light’s comfortable throne.

For the first time since L’s death…

Kira faces unpredictable danger.


Scene 20: The New War Begins

Light sits at L’s desk. Screens glowing. Detectives waiting.

Then new enemies emerge:

Near — a calm ghost walking in L’s shadow. Mello — a violent storm tearing through order.

Two children.

One cold. One burning.

Together… they equal L.

And perhaps…

even surpass him.

The age of L vs Kira…

has transformed into…

Near & Mello vs Kira.

Light tightens his fist.

The god of the new world… will not be challenged easily.

But destiny has decided: Kira’s perfect reign will not last forever.

New strategies. New sacrifices. New tragedies.

Everything is about to get even darker.
