Recognizing that Epic Foreshadowing may be a trope


* During the English Dub scene in the helicopter in episode 24, when L is holding the Death Note and giving a stream of thoughts showing how this notbook proves that Light is Kira, that last thing he says at the end of the stream is 'Yellow Box'. As this is the name of the abandonned warehouse mentionned and used in episodes 36 and 37, this can either be considered an acidental spoiler or ''Epic Foreshadowing''.

Noted the use of the phrase \'Yellow Box\' in episode 24 when it is first used in context around episode 36 or 37.

* Minus Takada if you count her as the fifth Kira, the Kiras die in alphabetical order. Higuchi is killed by Light, Light is killed by Ryuk, Mikami dies in by Near's actions (I follow the Near manipulated Mikami with the DN theory) and a year after Light's and Mikami's deaths, Misa commits suicide. H,..L, Mik, Mis... Clever, eh?

* [=~Hey, It's That Guy!~=] / [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: [[IronChef Chairman Kaga]] is Light's dad! And it's ''exactly'' as awesome as it sounds.
** [[RanmaOneHalf Moose is a serial killer?!]]
** Light Yagami is [[BattleRoyale Shuuya Nanahara]]! Or [[{{X-MenEvolution}} Nightcrawler]], if you're watching the English dub.
*** [[{{Gundam00}} He's also "Become Gundam".]]
**** In the dub too! And in the dub he piloted the [[{{GundamWing}} the Sandrock]], [[Char'sCounterattack Nu Gundam]] and [[MobileSuitGundam the original gundam!]] [[BradSwaile He also voiced]] [[GundamSEED Dearka]] , [[GundamSEEDDestiny Auel]]
*** And [[BlackLagoon a certain former business executive...]]
** Japanese Light is also the [[{{Ouran High School Host Club}} founder of a certain host club]].
*** [[WolfsRain and a certain wolf searching for paradise in a rotten world...]]
*** [[BattleRoyale ...and had to avoid getting voted off the island]] [[{{Survivor}} (no not that one.)]]
*** [[KingdomHearts and a certain emo who let himself be consumed by darkness...]]
*** [[SoulEater ...and the son of the Shinigami and is a (lesser) Shinigami himself with OCD]] -- [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK4Hpy9isf8 Lookie, he wrote his name in the Death Note.]] No, seriously. It's him.
** Dubbed L is... [[BattlestarGalactica Felix Gaeta?]]
** Ryuk's Death Note must have [[DragonBallZ OVER]] [[MemeticMutation 9000!!]] names.
** In English, Mikami is voiced by KirbyMorrow, AKA [[{{Inuyasha}} Miroku]]. Rape Note, anyone?
** Raye Penber is traded in TheMovie for... KamenRiderHibiki.
** [[ShakuganNoShana Naomi]], in english.
** [[SuzumiyaHaruhi The Melancholy of Misa Amane, perhaps?]]
*** Not just Haruhi Suzumiya, but Haruhi Fujioka as well. There's even a scene of them arguing.
** And L is voiced by KAPPEI YAMAGUCHI. Where to even begin? {{Inuyasha}}, [[{{Gravitation}} Ryuichi Sakuma]], [[OnePiece Usopp]], Saotome Ranma...
** Don't forget Near, known in another life as a [[{{Inuyasha}} certain priestess who refused to die]] or [[RurouniKenshin a certain emotionless bamfy swordsman who gave everyone's favorite rurouni a run for his money]].
** In fact, Matt Lagan as Lind L. Tailor (live action) was kind of hilarious for seasoned SurvivalHorror gamers - he dubs the majority of the male ghosts in ''FatalFrame'''s first instalment, and Leonard in ''SilentHill 3''.

**** Particularly in this case. If a genius detective says that there is, say, a 7% chance that an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent is somehow psychically killing people (perhaps with a notebook of death), there must be some pretty strong evidence.
