Confessions

Confessions (告白, Kokuhaku) is the thirteenth episode of the Japanese anime Death Note.

Synopsis
Having received the details on where to meet, Matsui and Light volunteer to try and capture the identity of the second Kira. Misa, having the shinigami eyes, finds out that Kira's real name is Light Yagami. Later, Misa confirms to the investigation team that she has found the real Kira. The team decides to change their approach in handling the second Kira, and tries to reason with her instead. They release a television broadcast condemning Kira as a heartless murderer who will kill anyone who discovers his identity. Furthermore, they offer to lessen the severity of the punishment the second Kira will face if she reveals information about the real Kira. However Misa ignores this, finds Light Yagami and explains her reasons for wanting to track him down.

Misa explains to him about the fact that people with shinigami eyes can’t see another Death Note owner’s lifespan. Misa offers to be Light’s “eyes” if he can make her his girlfriend. Misa tells Light that she has been careful covering her tracks using disguises and letting other people put their fingertips all over the packages in which she sent the tapes.

Light is cautious because she has the power to kill him. However, Misa offers to give Light her notebook so that he can make sure she won’t kill him, and she can gain his trust. Misa tells him that she doesn’t mind if he uses her and kills her if she becomes a burden.

She tells Light that Kira is like a god to her because he killed the criminals that killed her parents. She will do anything for Light. Misa starts to get upset and cry, so Light kisses her to make her happy. Then, Light agrees to let her help him, because he could use her as a valuable weapon to kill L.
