Revival

"I’ve won. Exactly as planned."

- Light Yagami

Revival (復活, Fukkatsu) is the twenty-fourth episode in the Death Note anime series.

Synopsis
Higuchi is arrested on suspicion of being Kira and causing multiple murders to occur in the Kanto region. Asked by L how he kills, Higuchi replies that he has "a magic notebook that kills people". After touching Higuchi's Death Note, L looks up and discovers, to his surprise, that Shinigami's do exist. Light takes the Death Note from L's hands, causing all of Light's memories of being the original Kira to return. It is revealed that when he gave away his Death Note, he added two fake rules, one stating that after having written in the book, its owner must continue to use it at least once every 13 days or perish, the second stating that if the book is made unusable by burning or shredding, everyone who has touched the book will die. Secretly, Light enacts Higuchi's death in front of L by writing his name on a scrap of the Death Note hidden in his watch. The investigation team reviews the rules written in the book and find out that they can do little to get rid of it. On top of this, they are facing another dilemma. Light, meanwhile, orders Misa to recover the other Death Note he had hidden and buried at a particular site a few months earlier. Returning from the Shinigami Realm, Ryuk greets Misa, who makes a second deal for the Shinigami Eyes in order to find out L's true identity.

Trivia

 * This episode was the first time a Shinigami Apple was seen. Ryuk gives one to Misa in return for her giving him a Human Apple.
