Talk:Silence (Death Note episode)

Washing Light's feet?
L was drying and massaging Light's feet. Does this really have relevance to the Jesus/Judas thing? ...in America! 10:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Someone add this to the Anime Wikia
(Trivia)


 * This is the first episode to not have rules on how to use a death note shown before and after the commercial break.


 * This episode deviates from the manga with the introduction of scenes from L's childhood, L and Light on the rooftop and L washing Light's feet; the latter being a particularly eerie biblical reference linking L to Jesus and Light to Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve original apostles of Jesus, and the one who betrayed him. The short scene in which the corridors are displayed in the shape of a cross reinforces this. This is especially ironic considering that this episode aired during Holy Week. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blueaster (talk • contribs) 22:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC).
 * This is the exact same thing I thought of, and it does match the proposed Judas Iscariot reference. This isn't the first time a biblical reference or allusion has been used either (at least in the anime series). For example; If I recall correctly there were scenes were Light translated biblical texts in his English classes that act as foresight to future actions. (Mrutter 22:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC))
