** In the second episode of ''[[Death Note]]'', Interpol makes a broadcast wherein "L", the greatest detective ''ever'', announces that he will be taking the Kira cases. More importantly, he does this while giving his real name and showing his face for what is supposed to be the ''first time ever,'' and is practical ''daring'' Kira to kill him right then and there. There is something suspiciously fishy about this because why would an American detective be interested in a Japanese murder wave? |

** '''Instead:''' When the detective accuses "Kira" of being evil, writes Lind L. Taylor's name in the Death Note right then and there and, big surprise, it ''was'' a trap. Now, not only did L figure out his MO and limitations, but he pinpointed his location. |

** Light, still being a student, has been keeping his Death Note activities in the afternoon to late evening. L comments upon this, suggesting Kira is a student. Soichiro then discusses this at home, since Light likes hearing about his job. |

** '''You'd Expect:''' Light would try and dissuade the notion by suggesting that it is just a coincidence and many people may only be able to attack in the afternoon, not just students, being the [[Chessmaster]] he is. |
