As the deadly cat-and-mouse game escalates, Light Yagami leverages his father's police files to stay ahead of the brilliant detective L. While successfully evading the authorities, Light is unnerved by a mysterious man shadowing his every move—an enemy whose name he cannot learn, rendering the Death Note useless against him. As he tests the notebook's powers, Light seems to psychologically distance himself from the mounting death toll, viewing the identity of "Kira" as a separate persona required for his crusade.
