Episode Quotes
L: This is still a theory. Also, based on the fact that he's killing criminals...this person is acting under a strong sense of justice. It may be...that he's trying to become God. We must say this is a very childish mentality.
Ryuk: The price of a Death God's eyes is... half of that human's remaining lifespan.
