Death Note (2015) Episode 8 English Subbed Episode Title:Farewell to justice... The name written on the note is L.Episode Description:After the notebook is confiscated by the task force, a fake rule written by Ryuk convinces L that Light and Misa are innocent. With suspicion of being Kira cleared, Light asks Misa to uncover the red notebook from the forest he buried it in. Just as she is about to open the container it is sealed in, a thug named Hiroki Yudagawa attacks her and steals the container. The thug is eventually revealed to have been hired by Teru Mikami, a criminal prosecutor who has been following Misa after deducing her connection to Kira based on various news reports. After L exposes Yudagawa as the culprit, Light attempts to capture him but the thug manages to escape. After Kira's judgments continue again, Light considers the possibility of Yudagawa's associate being a Kira worshipper. Light, recalling a time when he met a prosecutor who professed his eagerness to help Kira, determines that Mikami is the new Kira. Light contacts Mikami directly and enlists his aid to dispose of L. Meanwhile, Near interrogates Yudagawa and discovers that he stole a notebook from Misa on behalf of a prosecutor. However, Yudagawa is killed by Mikami before he can reveal anything else. Later, L meets with Soichiro and reveals that Near is next in line to succeed L. He tells Soichiro to continue to watch Light as he has a plan to resolve the Kira case. The next day, Mikami and a team of prosecutors meet with the task force at their headquarters in an attempt to confiscate the black notebook. Light, meanwhile, meets with L in an abandoned warehouse. L, who has the black notebook in his hands, discusses the Kira investigation with the task force through a video camera. L then destroys the camera and attempts to convince Light to give up being Kira. As Light maintains his innocence, L begins writing Light's name into the notebook, forcing Light to wrestle the notebook away. Mikami, who is revealed to have the shinigami eyes, texts Light L's real name after seeing his face through L's camera. Light writes down "L. Lawliet" into the notebook but L does not die.
