On today's episode we compare the manga to the anime, specifically some key scenes set before the final chapters. As well as share some facts on the setting of Death Note and compare them to the real-world place they are based on. Skip synopsis @ 4:01   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   098: Death Note vol. 11 ⁓ Kindred Spirits Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata Translation by Tetsuichiro Miyaki Lettering by Gia Cam Luc   With the battle now set to end in Japan, Near organises a face-to-face meeting with Light and vows to have proof on Kira's identity. In doing so he will avenge the Death of his predecessor, L. Plot twist, Light is Kira! But chances are you already knew that!   Before a date is set by Near, he must first determine who could be a Kira proxy, whom he titles as X-Kira. Making a time line of events and scanning multiple video records he suspects Teru Mikami. But only when Near's team discover that he has a Death Note do they respond, first they determine where ever or not a god of death is following Mikami, that way they can safely copy and or tamper with the Death Note without being noticed. Takada and Misa have dinner together only to fight over their love for Light Yagami. Afterwards Near decides to capture and detain Misa, knowing that she was once a proxy for Kira, Misa having no memories of the Death Note agrees to de detained following a belief that Light wants to capture Kira and a willingness to cut any plans made with Takada.   Near contacts Light, and establishes that they will meet in the yellow box warehouse within Daikoku Wharf on January 28th 1p.m. Light meets Takada so to inform Mikami on the location of the final confrontation between Kira and Near. The question still stands, if Kira can kill Near and his agents then what will be the fate of Near's rival and the second successor to L? Mello himself not being one to stick to the shadows for too long comes out and abducts Takada.   What will Kira's next move be?     Fun Facts:   Tetsuro Araki directed the anime to Death Note, having worked on the first episode he helped establish the tone of the series alongside the series musician/composer Hideki Taniuchi and Yoshihisa Hirano. It was Masato Bessho who directed and storyboarded the infamous “potato chip scene”   Real World Settings of Death Note:   Daikoku Wharf, or Daikoku Pier is known as 大黒埠頭, Daikokufutō, located around the port of Yokohama. Light studied at To-oh University, which is possibly analogous to the real-life Tokyo University, a notable clue being that they share the nickname Todai, short for Tokyo Daigaku University and the place is referenced using the nickname Todai. Not to be confused with the real-life Toho University, which has a similar sounding name. The hotel that Light and Takada have their meetings in is Teito Hotel, possibly named after a real hotel, previously known as Hotel Teito it was then merged with and is known as the Imperial Hotel. Located in Marunouchi nearby the Imperial Palace. Episode 12 of ‘I love Lucy' was set in this hotel. The anime adaptation uses this hotel's exterior as the model however in the Death Note manga the hotel maybe based more so on the Prince Park Hotel and/or the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier. This is because outside the window of Light and Takada's room we can see a noteworthy view of the Tokyo Tower, at the very least, the interior maybe based on the latter. The Tokyo Tower is certainly one of one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks alongside the Sensoji temple and the Hachiko statue, especially since many pictures show it beside the landmark that is Mt. Fuji. It also makes an appearance in the 2006 Death Note movie, ‘The Last Name', the final shot of the movie is outside Misa's window, where we can see Ryuk flying around the Tokyo Tower. The New York headquarters of the SPK is located near Nick. St. Station however most inner-city streets in New York favour numbers and not names for their streets. LAX is a real place, an abbreviation of Los Angeles International Airport. NHN is based on NHK, short for ‘Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai' or ‘Japanese Broadcasting Corporation' in English. It is similar to the BBC in England. Sakura TV is not based on any TV station. In the 2006 movie, the exterior is depicted as an outdoor food court with a giant TV screen assembled with multiple monitors.

Kinryuzan Sensoji Temple, located in Asakusa, Tokyo is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan. Dedicated to Kannon Bosatsu, the Bodhisattva of compassion, the temple is one of the most widely visited spiritual sites in the world with over 30 million annual visitors. Kinryuzan means the ‘Golden Dragon Mountain'. Legend has it that the Sensoji Temple was founded in 628 AD after two fishermen fished a gold statuette of Kannon from the Sumida River. Although the understandably confused fishermen tried to put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Therefore, the Sensoji temple was built nearby for the goddess represented by the statue found by the fishermen. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://martinifisher.com/2022/01/20/dragons-of-ancient-asia/

The Sensoji Kannon Temple in Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest temple and an extremely popular tourist destination. Join Jason and Paul as they learn about this beautiful and historic spiritual site!

The best Tempura Restaurant that we had in Asakusa Tokyo Japan is called Tendon! The reason that its the best for us is because the price is cheap, big serving, and most of all, the seafood is really fresh! Its crispy on the outside and moist on the inside! If you love tempura, you have to check out this place!Nearby the Tendon Tempura Restaurant in Asakusa, Houses the oldest Buddhist Temple in Tokyo called Sensoji also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple.  Founded in 628, Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. Many people believe that the Asakusa Kannon deity enshrined here has the ability to bestow benefits on earth, and around 30 million visitors from throughout Japan and abroad visit the temple every year. It was the epicenter for the development of Edo culture, and these traces still remain today.  Dominating the entrance to the temple is the kaminari-mon or "Thunder Gate." This imposing Buddhist structure features a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning. Within the precincts stand a stately five-story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon. Leave us  a review on iTunes, and we'll put your name under the credits on the next episode!

We just have to say, we have the most awesome fans ever. Seriously, you guys rock. While we love you all, you'll get to see who currently has the ranking of #1 fan in just a bit... Our next few days in Japan involved a lot of great food... oh, and a typhoon. (If you missed the first part of the trip, you can listen here!) Day 3 (Our 3rd day together was Allison's 5th day in Japan, which is why the day numbers might seem a little off sometimes...) So first things first, Allison just had to try the Shiro Cream Puff from Beard Papa's that Rachael had been raving about. Made with tapioca flour and a cream cheese filling, she was instantly obsessed. Since Rachael and her family got to spend our day 5 (a Sunday) seeing old friends at church, Allison and Son ventured to Don Quixote, which we describe as "Wal-Mart on crack". Seriously. Then we went to Bassanova! Green curry soba for the win! But the much more exciting part of this was getting to meet Kate!!! We're still flipping out over the fact that we get to not only say that we have fans as cool as Kate, but that we have a #1 Fan! Kate, you rock, and we think you're totally awesome. Day 4 This was the day we attempted to go Tsukiji fish market. And by attempted, we mean what actually happened was a comedy of errors where Allison and Son got stuck in their hotel, got slightly lost, then ran around looking for Rachael (whose alarm hadn't gone off!) Ah well. At least it was a pretty morning. So after we all got a little more sleep, we headed off to Hamarikyu park where Son did a bit of filming... And then we took the waterboat from Hamarikyu, up Sumida river, to Asakusa where walked up the street to Sensoji temple. On our way, we got to try all sorts of goodies - taiyaki, sweet potato age manju, and (of course) ice cream! After letting the girls play in a park a bit, it was off to Kaikaya by the Sea for dinner - a place that Rachael has been RAVING about for ages. We finally got to try the ginger ale in copper cups that she goes on and on about... And happily, the tuna ribs (along with the rest of the meal) lived up to the expectation that she had set. (The buttery fried goatfish was another huge winner in that meal!) Day 5 Did we mention it was typhoon season when we went? Yeah. And like any sane person would do, we went to the zoo on the day the typhoon was supposed to hit. And dragged poor Kate with us! Zoo food in Japan is surprisingly good, for a ridiculously inexpensive price. Allison's maple syrup-filled pancakes with blueberry jam were fantastic, and the chicken karaage that Rachael got for the girls was crazy good. But the best thing ware the homemade roasted sweet potatoes (yaki imo!) that Kate brought for us. Because she's the yaki imo girl! (P.S. Go follow her on twitter. Tell her we sent you. Be prepared to find out why we adore her so!) That evening we actually got to meet Keizo (since he wasn't there when all we went to Bassanova) and go out for monjayaki! Monjayaki is like okonomiyaki, but waterier. However, still delicious. After dinner, the Fujis went back to their hotel (smart people - there was a typhoon coming, after all!) but Son was still hungry, so we went for ramen with Keizo and his girlfriend. And then it was a sprint back to the rain station, against the rain and wind that were getting stronger by the minute! Yeah. There was a typhoon. Thankfully we were all safe in our respective beds by the time it actually hit. What a day! We're having a contest! You can enter to win one of two pairs of silicon saibashi (cooking chopsticks, like these) that we brought back from Japan. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post. One entry per person. You have until 11:59PM on Monday, September 24th, 2012 to enter. We will ship internationally, so anyone may enter. The two winners will be chosen using random.org. Good luck!
