But no. Everyone's just crazy about S&M ties on local models and making random families suffer dramatically since it's just a show... but "Death Note" writers... you could at least tone down all that "Ethics" or "Justice" BS now that keeping the show going has pushed real "Logic" to a distant back seat?
Plus, I'm glad this rando new Shinigami showed up to mess with Misa's life... hasn't she read the classics? These gods shouldn't fall in love with mortals! Nothing good or happy ever comes from it unless someone's gettin' raped and the wars after simmer down... and that good is questionable too!
Crazy logic. That gets you nowhere good either come to think of it...   See 2 other replies

1. Control others not just to their deaths but to act out Kira's demands or that
2. "Kira" is not legally bound by law as it would seem to be a possessing zeitgeist that uses society as a whole, & cannot legally arrest for having been possessed or forced to commit any crime. (In short, since anyone can be Kira at any time without ability to over-ride it's power, & no one person can arrest all of Japan/humanity, then 'Kira' must be amended as a Natural Force/Act of God and made legal under appropriate terms)
If there really is "Logic" in any episode past "Ally", L, as well as the entire investigation team, should be (also to remain Ethical) reporting this at the Global Summit so to unify the world's understanding that Shinigami got bored and are messing around. Police worldwide would then evolve to include stings of temporary detention for all/anyone possessed by the 'Kira' entity, which will eventually lead to understand the existence of Death Notebooks: Once this happens, only then can L/Justice/Ethics/etc "win" since the world will be pouring efforts into securing and launching them into the sun or something (therefore "arresting" the 'Kira' phenom!)   See 2 other replies
