* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Light tricks all the officers present at Higuchi's arrest into accepting and giving up ownership of the notebook [[LaserGuidedAmnesia in order to wipe their memories]] by having Rem throw the notebook at every cop, growling out "That's mine, give it back to me" and if "Give it back or IllKillYou" doesn't work [[SecretTestOfCharacter she should tell them they passed the test of bravery]] and that she had selected them to be the next Kira, and if they would just [[PaterFamilicide slaughter their families]] [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten and fifty additional innocent people they could have the power of Kira.]]]]

* TheStarscream: Invoked trope. When Light [[spoiler: is cornered [[SeamlessSpontaneousLie he comes up with a new story]]- he isn't Kira, but he was forced to work for Kira but once he gained Kira's trust he betrayed him.]] It works as a solid defense against being accused of being Kira and some even view him as a hero but he has lost the trust he once had when the Taskforce begins to realize how [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] Light really is.]]

* MindRape: Light feels "defiled" every time he regains his Kira memories.

* [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl Brooding Boy Gentle Boy]]: [[spoiler: L is the brooding one, ''Light'' is the gentle one being very careful with how he treats L since he was on the receiving end of a very abusive relationship relationship in the past.]]

* TheTalk: Watari forces L and Light read some sex ed books.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Many people find it humorous how Misa stalks Light and only when Misa gets really violent and crazy do people consider calling the cops.

* ImplausibleDeniability: [[spoiler: when L catches Light on camera that Light sees and reacts to an invisible presence.]]

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Light tricks all the officers present at Higuchi's arrest into accepting and giving up ownership of the notebook [[LaserGuidedAmnesi in order to wipe their memories]] by having Rem throw the notebook at every cop, growling out "That's mine, give it back to me" and if "Give it back or IllKillYou" doesn't work [[SecretTestOfCharacter she should tell them they passed the test of bravery]] and that she had selected them to be the next Kira, and if they would just [[PaterFamilicide slaughter their families]] [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten and fifty additional innocent people they could have the power of Kira.]]]]

* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: Light comes up with an elaborate one [[spoiler: when cornered. [[TheStarScream He claims he was coerced into working for Kira and then betrayed him and though he conveniently can't go into details, he has now backed Kira into a corner so he can't kill anymore.]]]]

** Also [[spoiler: when backed into a corner Light pretends to be both TheMole and the ReverseMole to Kira—that he was coerced into helping Kira but now he has somehow backed Kira into a corner so he can't kill anymore. L realizes to his frustration that there's no way to prove it one way or another.]]

* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: Light comes up with one [[spoiler: when cornered.]]

* SorryImGay: Light resorts to telling Misa this to prevent Rem from forcing him back into a relationship with her.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: poor drunk Matsuda...
-->'''Matsuda''': It was so horrible. I- I feel like I've violated Misa-Misa just by listening to those lies being told to her... I don't want to have sex with two men and Misa-Misa at the same time... (*everyone stares*) No, no, I'm not with this guy, he's just my friend who has sex with my other male friend. [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday I really like women a lot and any women who want to be with me, I'll respect them incredibly hard and skillfully with all the right respectful lines that I'm going to learn.]]
-->'''Light''': I don't think you should return to this bar anytime soon.

* ManOnFire: [[spoiler: Light does this out of desperation when L (re)discovers the notebook. Light sticks his hands in the fire and he holds the notebook there until it's burnt to ash.]]

* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: [[spoiler: Light gets the investigators and even L to begin doubting that he is Kira because Kira would never let himself get caught like this, Kira never incriminate himself like this... ]]

* NoEndorHolocaust: When the Shinigami attack Yotsuba. Justified, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality if anyone actually died in an incident where the Shinigami didn't use their death notes they'd get in trouble.]]
