L pulls a gutsy move here and reveals himself to Light during a college entrance ceremony. Ryuk is finally able to eat apples again (though his twisted up predicament is hillarious). Though the level of suspense feels a bit too hyped up for my tastes, I'm quite enjoying this series.

I have to say, Light came extremely close to freaking out when L revealed himself in front of him. And it seriously pissed Light off that there was nothing he could do about it. Quite nice to see Light seeing this as a challenge of wits at the end.

Poor Ryuk with his apple withdrawal...

I guess I don't have much to say about this episode.  It's quite a pivotal part of the series, but I guess I'll have more to say over the next episodes.
