Ep 11. Assault

Light takes up the role of Kira again, manipulating the actions of the investigation team just as before. The team stops the broadcast of the second Kira and suddenly someone claiming to be the real Kira contacts them with a message: he will kill all those who oppose him. Light decides to write down the name of the newscaster who made the announcement and ends up killing her.

Meanwhile, Misa arranges a meeting with the new Kira, whom she thinks is Light, but is shocked to find that he is someone else. The new Kira tells her that he will need her help in order to carry out his plans. Misa agrees to help him and they begin working together.

The new Kira turns out to be a ruthless businessman named Kyosuke Higuchi. He has been using a Death Note given to him by the shinigami Rem to kill off people who stand in his way. He has also been eliminating other criminals who he deems unfit to live in society.

In order to catch Higuchi, L and the investigation team concoct a plan to trap him. They stage a bus jacking and send out a message for Kira to come to the location. Higuchi takes the bait and shows up, but quickly realizes that it's a trap. He uses Rem's power to kill some of the investigators and attempts to get away.

However, L manages to corner Higuchi and him and the other investigators interrogate him. Higuchi tries to play it off, claiming to be a victim of Kira himself, until Light suddenly arrives and uses the Death Note to kill him on the spot. This raises suspicions among the investigation team, but they cannot prove anything.

As the episode ends, Light realizes that being Kira once again and manipulating everything is the most thrilling thing he's experienced in a while. He revels in feeling alive again, despite the danger that comes with it.
