Lore & Background
After suspicion falls again on Misa Amane, Light passes Misa's Death Note to Teru Mikami, a fervent Kira supporter, and appoints newscaster Kiyomi Takada as Kira's public spokesperson. Near has Mikami followed whilst Shuichi Aizawa's suspicions are confirmed. Realizing that Takada is connected to Kira, Mello kidnaps her. Takada kills Mello but is then killed by Light. Near arranges a meeting between Light and the current Kira Task Force members. Light tries to have Mikami kill Near as well as all the task force members, but Mikami's Death Note fails to work, having been replaced with a decoy. Near proves Light is Kira discovering Mikami had not written down Light's name. Light is severely wounded in a scuffle and begs Ryuk to write the names of everyone present. Ryuk instead writes down Light's name in his Death Note, as he had promised to do the day they met, and Light dies.
In Their Own Story
The pen hovered over the black page. Teru did not feel fear; he felt purpose. In the silence of his office, the weight of Light's legacy pressed against his chest like a physical stone. He wrote another name, watching the ink dry as if sealing a contract with destiny itself. Outside, sirens wailed in the distance, but inside, only the sound of justice remained.
Reader's Guide
This faction represents the last stand of the Kira ideology. Led by Teru Mikami, a lawyer and devout follower, their goal is to continue eliminating criminals globally using the Death Note. The group consists primarily of Mikami himself and a small circle of unnamed accomplices who supply criminal data. They operate independently from Misa Amane's earlier efforts but share the same divine mandate. Their role in the conflict is pivotal as they prolong the hunt against Near's task force, forcing investigators to adapt their strategies once more before finally being dismantled by superior deduction.
