":This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected."

":The human whose name is written in this note shall die."

"Episode 1:"

"Light: Ryūzaki. Do you think that I'm actually capable of becoming a murderer, Kira? Even after I help you catch him, do I seem like that kind of person to you? L: Yes, you do. I've always thought so. (Ep. 20)"

"Light: Kira, deaths by accident, by disease, designated times of death, it's all just as we suspected. We were right. L: No, unfortunately, we can only be completely sure after those people they've named are dead. We will continue to monitor these meetings and take note of what they say, how they act, and most importantly whether the people they choose actually die. If we can confirm the connection between their plans and the deaths, then we'll definitely be able to catch Kira. Light (in unison with Chief Yagami): Ryūzaki! L (with his mouth full): What is it? There is no need to yell in unison. Light: I can't carry on knowing these people will die. That's just immoral. (Ep. 20)"

"Light: At first I wrote the names of the worst criminals I could think of, like I was cleaning up the world one name at a time, so that eventually no one will ever do anything evil again. And while the truly guilty ones who deserve to be punished for their crimes die of heart attacks, the people who are less guilty but who still make trouble for others will slowly be erased through disease and accidental death. Then and only then the world will start moving in the right direction. It'll be new world free of injustice and populated by people who I've judged to be honest, kind, and hardworking. Ryuk: But if you did that, it'd make you the only bad person left. Light: Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a hardworking honor student who's considered to be one of Japan's best and brightest. And I... I will become the God of this new world. Ryuk: It's just as I thought.. Humans are so interesting. (Ep. 1)"

"Ryuk: Why even bother? What are you trying to achieve by passing judgement on them? I mean, why do you care? Light: Because I've been bored too, Ryuk. (Ep. 1)"

"Well, Light, it looks like you've lost. Remember how in the beginning, when we first met, I told you that I'd be the one writing your name in my notebook? That is part of the agreement, between the Shinigami who brings a notebook to the human world... and the first human who picks it up. If they put you in prison, who knows when you'd die? And I don't wanna lie around waiting. So, it's all over. You'll die here. It was good while it lasted. We eased each other's boredom for quite a while. Well, Light, it's been interesting. (Ep. 37, as Light dies, the last words in the anime)"

"You have lost, Light. Didn't I say in the beginning... when you die, the one who'll write your name down in a notebook will be me? That is... the deal between the Shinigami... and the first human to get their hands on the note in the human world. Once you enter the prison, I don't know when you'll die. It's annoying to wait... Your life is already over. You'll die here. Well, it was good while it lasted... We killed some boredom, didn’t we? We did some various and interesting things... (Ep. 37)"

"Humans are... So much fun. (Ep. 2)"

"You're asking me why? I did it 'cause I was bored. (Ep. 1)"

"I didn't choose you. Don't you see this is all just an accident? You actually thought you were chosen because you're so smart or something? Don't be so vain. It just happen to fall around here and you just happen to pick it up, and that's all there is to it. (Ep. 1)"

"Let's just say this: you will feel the fear and pain known only to humans who've used the notebook. And when it's your time to die, it will fall on me to write your name in my death note. Be warned any human who's used a death note can neither go to heaven nor hell for eternity... That's all. (Ep. 1)"

"Look at how many people you've killed in only five days. Most are reluctant to write this much. (Ep. 1)"

"You've taken quite a liking to it. (Ep. 1, first words to Light)"

"Light... he can even kill a shinigami. He has surpassed us."

"Light Yagami might be as pure as Misa... He was not using the Death Note for himself, but rather he was using the notebook in order to better humanity as a whole."

"Humans are truly... disgusting creatures!"

"Light Yagami, L, Kira, it's over. You've lost the game. (Ep. 37)"

"No. You're just a murderer, Light Yagami. And this notebook is the deadliest weapon of mass murder in the history of mankind. You yielded to the power of the shinigami and the notebook and you have confused yourself with a god. In the end, you're nothing more than a crazy serial killer. That's all you are. Nothing more, and nothing less. (Ep. 37)"

"Keep all important information in your mind only. (Ep. 30)"

"Don't worry, Commander Rester, making assumptions is part of any investigation. If we're wrong, all it'll cost is an apology. (Ep. 30)"

"If you can't win the game, if you can't solve the puzzle, then you're nothing but a loser. (Ep. 27)"

"I wanna eliminate my competition. I will be the best. I don't care what it takes. (Ep. 27)"

"Misa's song (from episode 25)"

"Misa-Misa loves to eat. Misa-Misa loves Yagami Light."

"Matsuda, you idiot! Who the hell do you think you're shooting at?! Don't screw with me! (Ep. 37)"

"Kill me? Is that really the right thing to do? Since Kira's appearance six years ago, wars have stopped and global crime rates have been reduced by over 70 percent. But it's not enough, this world is still rotten. With too many rotten people. Somebody has to do this, and when I first got that notebook all those years ago I knew I had to do it. No, I was the only one who could. I understood that killing people was a crime. There was no other way! The world had to be fixed! A purpose given to me! Only I could do it. Who else could have done it, and come this far?! Would they have kept going?! The only one who can create a new world - is me. (Ep. 37)"

"I am God of the new world! (Ep. 37)"

"That's right, I am Kira. And what can you do? Kill me right here? (Ep. 37)"

"It's a trap! This is all part of Near's plot to frame me! Isn't it a little odd that no one died after having their names written in the Notebook?! This proves it's a trap! (Ep. 37)"

"Catch me...if you can."

"I will reign over a new world."

"I came to exterminate the vermin of this world!"

"He was someone who deserved to die."

"For murderers, there is no good or evil. I know that."

"No matter what the world is, the god of that world creates the rules. In truth, you have been defeated by the rules I created. And as punishment for defying the God of the new world, you will die..."

"I must protect my fledging Utopia."

"But you know the saying, "play with fire, and you'll get burned". I'll make you regret underestimating L...underestimating me."

"In the end, L is indeed the greatest detective on earth..."

"Our battle will be concluded, and I will begin my reign from the summit of victory!"

"This world is still rotten!.. With too many rotten people."

"I have a mind of a genius and a strong sense of justice."

"Just as I thought. Without L, this is too easy. (Ep. 26)"

"Humans aren't made perfectly. Everyone lies. Even so... I've been careful not to tell lies that hurt others. (Ep. 25)"

"I've won. Exactly as planned. (Ep. 24)"

"The thing I hate the most is to trample on other people's good will. (Ep. 17)"

"This is the first time in my life that I've been provoked to hit a woman. (Ep. 14)"

"I've never considered finding that notebook and gaining that power a misfortune. (Ep. 10)"

"L, do you know gods of death love apples? (Ep. 10)"
