10. Doubt

L and Light play tennis and try to size up each other. Light tries to find a way to get onto the investigation team without rising the suspicion that he might be Kira. But L beats him in this regard and plainly tells him that he suspects him, but wants him on the team nonetheless. If he isn't Kira, he would be a great help on the investigation. If he is Kira, he might trip up and reveal himself.
Light's father has a conversation with the chief of the police, where the chief wants to know the identity of L and Light's father refuses to tell him.
Light's father gets an heart attack but it turns out to be only fatigue.
At the end a television studio gets some tapes which are asked to be played on the air.

This episode covers the manga chapters 20-22. Essentially the same things happen except that the manga elaborates more.

In the movies, the tennis match was replaced by a chess game where both size up each other. The heart attack of the father probably inspired the ending of the second movie. The way that Light gets on the team is also much different. Essentially the whole ending of the first movie is an elaborate plan by Light to defuse the suspicion from him by letting his girlfriend be killed by Kira. He also uses it as reasoning to get on the team to "find" the killer of his girlfriend. L reveals to Light non-verbally that he suspects him being Kira by eating a special brand of chips in front of him. The same kind of chips Light used to hide the Death Note while writing down names while he was being survaillanced.
Also in the movies Light's father visits the chief of police and also a television studio gets tapes to play.

Death Note
Season 1.11 Assault

A TV station which is taken hostage by Kira sends video tapes recorded by Kira. The tape prophecies a death of a news anchor on another channel. One of the policemen drives to the TV station to retrieve the tapes, but is killed by Kira in front of the station. The investigation team is surprised, as suddenly it seems Kira doesn't need to know the name of his victim anymore. Only the face. Light's father gets into the TV station unrecognized and retrieves the tapes. After studying the tapes, L is convinced that there is another Kira. The viewer is introduced to Misa, who is the other Kira and who made the deal with her death god to get the death god eyes to see the name of the victim.

This episode covers chapters 23-25 of the manga. Essentially it is the same, only the manga is a little more detailed.

The movie takes a little different route. They do away with having the investigation team to find out that it is an imposter Kira. The Kira in the tape says it out loud that he is another one. Light's father also gets to the TV station in a similar way.

Death Note
Season 1.12 Love

Light joins the investigation on request of L. L shows him the tapes and Light confirms his suspicion that there is a second Kira. L asks Light to write the response as if he were the real Kira. Kira 2 responds to this message and talks about death gods and the eyes, giving the investigation team for the first time the hint that it is something supernatural. Ren, the death god of Misa, tells her how he/she came to the death note that Misa now possesses. Misa founds out about Gelos, the death god you died because he was saving her from an assault by killing the assaulter. Which is not allowed for death gods and he dies.

This episode covers chapter 26 and most of 27. The first two chapters of the fourth volume. Again it is fairly similar.

The movie contains the story about the death god Gelos.
