A good episode, but I'm going to lower my rating. Oh, I felt lazy, this little fight between Light's submissives. I think not much happened in this episode, right, or I'm forgetting.

It's impressive that Light/Kira is disgusting but this new Kira makes me feel sick every time he calls the original Kira God. This society has already become a cult or church for Kira, right?

Episode thirty-three watched on March 6, 2024.

The worst episode of Death Note so far, the only good thing about this episode is that Light and Near's rivalry is more marked, Mikami literally does nothing, Takada and Misa fighting? Who wants to see Misa? Why not develop Near? Mello? And what was it that Near deduces that Mikami is X Kira, WHAT? This is the reason of why episode 37 is bad too.

3.6 and I'm being generous.

This episode is... building. Many episodes are reserved for building up plots which will eventually climax, the latest Better Call Saul episode (S6E10) did the exact same. The story being told will climax one day, and it's important that the writers make sure the audience knows this. The writers for this episode forgot.

See, on a rewatch it's clear that this episode is building up to episodes 36 and 37, but on a first watch, you have no idea. So, the episode slowly drags, from minute to minute, as you wonder what the point of it all is? Takada gives Light pieces of the Death Note? She fights with Misa? Near does whatever the hell he does? It's so boring to feel like everything you are watching is pointless, instead of feeling like the story you are watching is progressing.

Writers need to always make the audience feel like the time they spend watching the show is worth it. Every second they spend watching the show is either progressing the story or climaxing the story. This episode fails to do this, making it feel boring and slow on a first watch, and essentially the same on a rewatch.
