Best Arc's
1. Encounter
"Encounter" holds a special place in fans' hearts because it was the episode in which L met Light Yagami for the first time. Initially, everyone thought that L enrolled in college only to watch Light from a distance. However, L decides to take an unforeseen route by revealing his identity to Light.
2. Assault
In this episode, we see an alleged audio tape from Kira broadcast on national television. In the mechanically scrambled audio, Kira claims that he will kill some prominent TV personalities with a history of scandals. As several TV anchors and personalities drop dead on live television, Hirokazu Ukita from the Task Force goes to the Sakura TV headquarters to stop the broadcast. However, Ukita, along with several other officers, dies before they can enter the building.
3. Pursuit
Light always wanted to clean the wretched world by getting rid of the criminals, and Ryuk's Death Note allowed him to work on that dream. Light knew that there would be some people who would stand against his methods, but he never imagined that the FBI would come after him.
4. Frenzy
"Frenzy" was definitely one of the most thrilling and action-packed episodes of the entire Death Note series. After Higuchi fails to kill Matsuda, he makes a deal with Rem to get the Shinigami eyes. L also becomes confident that Higuchi is the real Kira, and since Light has no memories of being a self-centered maniac with a God-complex, he joins L to hunt down Higuchi.
5. Wager
Throughout the series, Light struggles to find out L's real name, so when Misa comes in contact with L, Light sees this as a perfect opportunity to kill the detective. However, when Light calls Misa to ask L's name, he finds out that the Task Force has arrested his girlfriend. Despite being captured, Misa decides not to betray Light, proving that she really is in love with Kira.
