Family

Family (家族 Kazoku) is the third chapter in the Death Note manga. It is contained in Volume 1. The events in this chapter take place in episode 3 of the anime, Dealings (取引 Torihiki).

Plot Points
Here are the major plot points that happen in this chapter:


 * Ryuk tells Light that if anyone else touches the Death Note, they will be able to see and hear him.
 * The NPA begins theorizing that Kira is a student, based on the fact that all of the killings take place between 4 PM and 2 AM, Japanese time, and between 11 AM to midnight on weekends and holidays. Light counters this theory by causing the killings to take place with one every hour. From this, L learns that Kira can arrange the time of death, and that Kira has a way of obtaining police information.

Things to Notice

 * Matsuda Touta first shows his tendency to state the obvious, when he declares that the crime rate around the world has gone down since Kira began his attacks.
