The 10 Best Quotes from Misa in Death Note!

8. "It’s going really well. I just need to keep going like this."

When she began working with Yotsuba, Higuchi and some other members of the group questioned her about her support for Kira. Aiber pretended to be Eraldo Coil and managed to question her during the interview.

Having already rehearsed what they would say with Light and L, Misa claimed it was her most important role as an actress. When they all decided to take a break, Misa went to the toilet and eventually met Rem.

7. "Once Kira is caught, you won’t be able to escape either. You’ll probably be sentenced to death."

Misa’s biggest rival in the series was another one of Light’s conquests, Takada. As Kira’s spokesperson, Light secretly gave her orders while pretending to investigate her. Due to their growing closeness, Misa became jealous of Takada and said these words to her during a dinner.

At that point, Misa no longer had any memory of being the Second Kira, making this moment very ironic.

6. "You can’t buy peace and love with money, you know!"

Before Takada’s reintroduction, Demegawa was Kira’s spokesperson. However, when he led a group of Kira supporters to the SPK headquarters and got distracted by money instead of finding Near, he lost his position and died after Teru Mikami resumed Kira’s killings.

At that time, Misa was tasked with killing people for Light, but she couldn’t see Near’s face because of the camera pointing at the money. Although it wouldn’t have changed much, since Near had protected himself by escaping, Misa blamed Demegawa for failing to help Light.

5. "I hate evil and love justice. I don’t see the police as my enemy, but as my ally against evil."

When the investigation team discovered the existence of the Second Kira, they rushed to Sakura TV to ask Demegawa to stop broadcasting the tapes that the Second Kira had sent him. Ukita lost his life when heading to the building, which allowed L to figure out that the Second Kira only needed someone’s face to kill them.

Misa may have wanted to work with the police, but they didn’t want to cooperate with her.

4. "I had to die that day."

After gathering enough evidence to believe that Misa was the Second Kira, L imprisoned her and tried to force a confession. In love with Light, she was willing to die to protect him. She asked Rem to kill her, claiming that she had already cheated death once and was living on borrowed time.

However, she eventually made a deal with Rem to erase her memories of the notebook in order not to reveal anything to L. Rem then allied with Light to save Misa.

3. "I’ll do anything to make you love me."

Everything Misa did since obtaining her own notebook was driven by her love for Light. He killed the murderer of her parents, and she felt grateful towards Kira for avenging them. Her actions as the Second Kira eventually led her to discover that Light was Kira.

Since meeting him, she was willing to do anything to be with him. However, despite everything she did, Light never truly cared for her and only pretended to share her feelings to achieve his own goals.

2. "What a wonderful way to kill."

It is very difficult to kill a Shinigami. One day, Misa nearly died at the hands of one of her stalkers after rejecting him. The reason she remained unharmed was that Gelus, a Shinigami who loved her, wrote the name of her attacker in his notebook.

If a Shinigami saves the life of a human they love, the Shinigami dies, and their remaining lifespan is transferred to the human. Rem witnessed Gelus’s death and gave his notebook to Misa. Rem will eventually suffer the same fate. Light may not have loved Misa, but the true gods did.

1. "To defeat evil, sacrifices are necessary."

When Misa finally met Light, he told her he wasn’t satisfied with the actions she had taken to find him. She explained that he had avenged her parents, and she would help him in every way possible, even offering her notebook.

When he asked her how killing Ukita was different from the murderer who had killed her parents, she replied with these words. Misa would eventually sacrifice the life of anyone Light asked her to satisfy.
