Note 	Title	Plot
1 	Prelude
Pureirūdo (プレィルード)	Dark Megami, a bored high school student in her Senior year, finds a mysterious black notebook, in which the cover, written in white katakana, reads "Desunōto" (デスノート), and inside, she reads a set of rules that are written in Japanese, saying that whoever's name is written in this notebook, that person dies. She tests the notebook twice at separate times, and after the second time, she believes that the notebook is real. During the following days, she feels that a world so rotten can't go on like this, and thinks the only way to cleanse this world is to write the names of the worst criminals that she could think of.
In five days' time, a shinigami called "Thomack" confronts Dark at her home, saying that the notebook is now hers, since the person who finds the notebook now has ownership of the notebook. However, if she doesn't want it, she could give it to someone else, however, that would mean that her memories of the notebook will be erased. Dark states that she wants the world to know that someone is passing judgment on the wicked, and that she will rule this world as goddess.
Little does she know that a mysterious woman is watching the news, and has learned that another criminal has just died.

Maesutozo (マエストゾ)	The episode begins at the Wammy House, a college in Into the Dark. Roger has informed two figures, a young woman with brunette hair and a young man who is an advanced chess player and doesn't like to wear shoes, that J has just been killed. Roger has also informed the two that she has not chosen either one before she died. Inner, the young woman, says to the chess player, L, that it was fun playing chess with him a while, but she needs to find Kamen Kira alone and avenge J. L suggests that he will also look for Kamen Kira, and put together a special force to help him.
Five years later, back in Japan, Hirokazu Ukita, a new member of the Japanese police, has proposed to Dark and she accepted. With the wedding six months away, Dark, who is now working with the police as second in-command, receives a call from her cousin, Light, saying that her father, Suguroku Megami, has been held hostage by a Mafia gang member as ransom for one of the notebooks. Dark is left with an option: will she write down her father's name or hand over the notebook to the Mafia?

Ekisupozishon (エキスポジション)	It's been forty seconds, and nobody has died. Shiori Akino has written the names, but no deaths. L orders Aiber and Wedy to seize her, and capture the notebook. He then looks at Dark, who has now exposed her identity as Kamen Kira, and tells her that she has lost the game. Light couldn't believe it. Dark tries to prove that she doesn't know Akino, until Misa assures her that it's too late for excuses, since Dark had just claimed victory. Just as Dark is about to be arrested, she hesitates, and calls everyone, even her own cousin, traitors.
L informs Dark that the notebook Akino used was a fake, and that he has the real one in his possession, and, since he has touched the notebook, he can see Thomack. L then goes into saying that Inner had prepared this as planned, even though she wouldn't know that her death would come, and that L has come face to face with Kamen Kira, the one who murdered J.
Out of options, Dark says that L is right, and says that wars have stopped, and that crime rates have been reduced to 30%, and that she can change the world. She also says that she is now goddess of the new world. L disagrees, and says that Dark is just a murderer. Dark decides that it's time to end this discussion, by writing L's real name (which Akino has written as "L Lawleit"). Before she could start writing L's surname, Matsuda shoots at Dark. Dark, still alive, says that everyone is a fool, even her late fiance, Ukita, and begins to write L's surname with her blood. Before Dark could write the last letter, Matsuda shoots at Dark several more times.
Writhing on the floor, Dark tells Akino to write down everyone's names. Akino refuses, saying that Dark is no goddess, which is a sign of her betrayal towards Dark. Luckily, she sees her last hope--Thomack, and begs him to write down the names of everyone, even Akino, in his notebook. Unfortunately, Dark isn't very lucky after all, as Thomack writes Dark's name instead. Just before Dark's heart beats one last time, Thomack informs her that he forgot to mention that humans who use Death Notes are unable to go to heaven or hell, and instead go...to nothingness. The episode ends with Dark's death.
END NOTE	Finale
Fināre (フィナーレ)	Dark Megami has been betrayed and killed by Thomack. The reign of Kamen Kira has ended. L has seized her Death Note and burned it.
During the following months, Shiori Akino has been taken into custody, and, after becoming insane, she commits suicide in prison. It is clearly unknown if this was a cause of the Death Note or if she did it herself.
One year after the death of Dark, it is revealed that Light and Misa have been appointed as captain and sub-captain of the Japanese police task force, respectively, and are married, and are expecting a child. Light plans on naming the newborn "Dark" after his late cousin, no matter the gender. However, Misa has suspicions that Akino's death may have been caused by L, but Light doesn't believe that L would kill Akino, since the Death Note hasn't been used since it was burned. Light and Misa return to the police station, and get a notification from L...
The end credits of this episode is the epilogue of the series, and they start at Dark's grave, with a candle lit atop of it. The epilogue then shows Satou feeling depressed, feeling like there's nothing more to do. We then cut to the Shinigami realm, where Thomack feels regretful for killing Dark. Ryuk looks onward near Thomack, holding his Death Note (which he had given to Thomack at the beginning of the series). Fade through to show a cloaked, masked figure, who bears a resemblance to Kamen Kira (either the ghost of Dark, or a reincarnation), and this figure holds what appears to be said Death Note. The epilogue ends where it began, and the flame on the candle extinguishes, ending the series...
