* [[Glad I Thought of It]]: During his {{spoiler|[[Memory Gambit]]}} Light discovers a lead as to how Astraea and Kira might be killing when he finds a reference to a Book of Death the [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazis]] were searching for that is mentioned in an old fairy tale. L [[

* [[Last Second Chance]]: [[We Can Rule Together|Light/Kira asks L if he's changed his mind and is going to join him.]] L in turn pleads that he stop being Kira and they could run away to an island somewhere. Light explains that he can't stop being Kira because he's made a [[Deal With the Devil]] and in any case he doesn't want to because being Kira is "his calling" and [[Despair Event Horizon|besides there's nothing left to go back to.]]
* [[Leeroy Jenkins|LEEROY JENKINS]]: {{spoiler|memoryless!}}Light does this when put in the same room as a crazy guy armed with a gun and a Death Note. Without really understanding why he ''really wanted'' that notebook.

* [[Not So Different]]:
{{quote| '''Sayu:''' I guess I'm frightened. And angry. Kira killed my family, not just Dad and Light. He killed all of us. And I have no time for L and his 'investigation.' If it wasn't for him then they'd still be alive. But then, Dad and Light believed in him. They thought he'd defeat Kira. [[What the Hell, Hero?|I'm angry at him because, well, you expect this from Kira; killing is what he does. But L has betrayed my family.]]}}
** And:
{{quote| '''L''' (to Mello): Kira is vengeance. Selfish vengeance. [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|You're just two people who have thrown their toys out of their cot because they feel injured.]] Kira is angry at the world as he saw it and you're angry at him.<br />

'''L''': Near... It stands for Near, Light. Remember it. I'm glad that you're showing an interest though, for I never expected any less of you. However, I am most insulted on his behalf that you think that he could be named after [[Finding Nemo|a lost fish]] or [[Keanu Reeves]]. }}

* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]: Astraea. {{spoiler|Later when L begins [[La Résistance]] under Kira's rule Mello sees a simple solution to the Kira problem- he proposes that they find Kira and blow his head off.

* [[The Sociopath]]: Light, B, and {{spoiler|V}}.
** [[Lampshaded]] when L gives Light [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|his own psych file to read]]:
{{quote| ''"...any therapy would likely further enable his abilities to manipulate others. His intelligence and superficial charm, combined with his pathologic egocentricity and internalised morality, make him a dangerous individual deserving of clinical management and incarceration. He is driven by some, as yet, undefined goal. Kira's targeting of criminals gives a certain mask of sanity and 'goodness' in terms of his reasoning, but, due to his narcissism and deep-rooted antipathy, I doubt that they are exclusively or will remain his true aim of attack. At this point in time I would score him high for the Factor 1 scale of emotional psychopathy on the PCL-R, though his neurosis are not fully incapsulated within those criteria. He appears, at times, to show feelings of strong empathy, despite his apparent incapability to love." Light slammed the folder and the words shut. "[[Angrish|What a load of utter rubbish. I don't care. Really. I couldn't give a flying fuck."]]'' }}

** L's revenge {{spoiler|on Light for drugging him is to [[Cold
* [[Tragic Villain]]: {{spoiler|V}} and Light.
* [[Transparent Closet]]:
Line 301:

* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6866923/1/Last_Night_I_Dreamt_Somebody_Loved_Me Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me]'' is an alternative plotline where {{spoiler|L fakes his death at the hands of Astraea and Light is going to go on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against Astraea.}}
* [[What Measure Is a Mook?]]: All of Kira's henchmen wear helpful "Hello my name is..." badges so that Kira can kill them with ease if they step out of line.

* [[White
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Kira, upon his return.}}
* [[Would Be Rude to Say Genocide]]: L points out to Light that his subordinates have opened death camps. Light denies he has anything to do with it (after all, [[Weapon of Mass Destruction|why would he need to]]? [[Pragmatic Villainy|His means of mass murder is so much more efficient]]).
