Crazy



Crazy (クレイジー, Kureijī) is the second chapter of Volume six and 45th chapter overall.

Plot
L goes one step further and asks Light if he could take over the name L when he dies. Light refuses, but then realizes that L was testing him. If Light was Kira, he would willingly accept L’s offer. However, if Light has somehow passed his powers over to another Kira, L believes that Light has set up some way to get those powers back. Light then asks L if he honestly believes that he could be a heartless murderer. When L responds yes, Light punches him in the face.

Soichiro is eager to stop the killings and arrest the remaining seven men. However, L notes that there’s a possibility that Kira is only connected to one of the seven men, and even if they arrested all of them, the killings wouldn’t stop. L has grown tired of the arguing and decides to work by himself in dealing with the Yotsuba group. Soichiro and the others can do as they wish.

L goes to Misa’s room and drags Light along with him since he is still handcuffed to him. L asks Misa to help him with the Kira Investigation because it will make Light happy. His plan is for Eraldo Coil to tell the Yotsuba group that he has uncovered evidence that Misa was captured by L and detained under suspicion of being the second Kira. The Yotsuba group will desperately want to meet Misa, and during the interview, she should say how she looks up to Kira and wants to meet him. Light objects putting Misa in danger, but Misa is determined to do this out of love for Light.

Conception
Ohba said the chapter's title "Crazy" relates to how L is so "crazy and forceful in this chapter."
