"Confession" (「告白」 "Kokuhaku"?) is the 13th episode of the Death Note TV series which aired on January 9, 2007 in Japan.
Light learns that the second Kira has sent another message to Sakura TV. This time, the message consists of a journal, which contains the entry, "Meet at Tokyo Dome. Confirmation by Death Gods" for the date June 30. The investigation team sees it as stupidity on the part of the second Kira for letting this information out; when the TV stations report this, Tokyo Dome will be closed down on the 30th and the second Kira will not act.
However, Light notices another entry, written on the 22nd, saying, "I met a friend at Aoyama. We exchanged notes." Light realizes that notes refers to the Death Notes. L also notices the other entries and points out that they should be investigated also. The other entries include Aoyama on the 22nd, and Shibuya on the 24th. Matsui and Light volunteer to scout out Aoyama on the 22nd.
Meanwhile, Misa and Rem discuss the Death God eyes. Rem explains to Misa that one cannot see the life span of someone else with a Death Note. She elaborates, telling Misa of how Death Gods cannot see each others life spans and why Misa cannot see her own life span.
At home, Light excuses his lateness by saying that he has a girlfriend at the university. Alone in his room, he asks Ryuk if Death Gods are able to converse with each other in the human world. Ryuk replies that it depends on the personality of the Death God in question. Therefore, the fake Kira's Death God may talk to Ryuk and reveal Light's identity to the second Kira. Afterwards, Light researches Aoyama on the internet and discovers the Note Blue club, which is having a special animation showing on the 22nd. Following the motif of the word 'note', Light deduces that the fake Kira must be waiting at Note Blue and that they may not be as stupid as he previously thought.
The next day, Light and Matsui meet up with a group of Light's university friends. Matsui realises that Light, almost typically, has engineered the perfect cover; the group look as if they are just casual friends on a day out. Meanwhile, Light ponders his actual reasoning for the crowd, which is to avoid L's security cameras more easily and to make it harder for the fake Kira's Death God to identify Ryuk as Light's Death God.
Whilst the group passes by Note Blue, Light glances in and notices nothing out of the ordinary. However, Misa is inside, disguised. She realizes Light is Kira due to the fact that she cannot see his life span. She then leaves, reasoning that it is too dangerous to try to talk to him; merely learning his identity was enough.
Back at the investigation headquarters, the team receives another message from the second Kira. The second Kira claims that she's found the real Kira. The team is shocked at the this turn of events, noting that an alliance between the two would be bad. L notices that the message was sent on the 23rd and immediately suspects Light again as he was at Aoyama the day before. Again, he has no solid proof Light is Kira.
The team decides to change their approach in handling the second Kira, and tries to reason with her instead. They release a television broadcast condemning Kira as a heartless murderer who will kill anyone who discovers his identity. Furthermore, they offer to lessen the severity of the punishment the second Kira will face if she reveals information about the real Kira.
Misa sees the broadcast and rushes out of her house, distraught, to meet Light. She arrives at his house and introduces herself as Misa, the second Kira. Light invites her in, passing her off as his girlfriend. Inside, she offers her complete service to Light, including giving him her Death Note to guard in case the police catch her. In exchange, she wants Light to be her boyfriend. Light remains suspicious of her motives and her competency, which upsets Misa. Exasperated, Misa explains that she wore a disguise at Aoyama, and that she duped a friend into sending the Kira videos, thus making it impossible for the police to trace her through fingerprints. She then explains that her parents were killed by burglars one year ago, and the man had been found innocent at the trial. In the end, it was Kira who passed judgement on the man. Because of this, Misa decided to devote her life to serving Kira. Light admits that she is more competent and honest than he gave her credit for and hugs her, agreeing to be her boyfriend.
