The serial murders attracted L’s attention, just as B intended, and L enlisted the assistance of a suspended FBI agent named Naomi Misora in investigating the murders. B approached Naomi at the scene of the first murder, introducing himself as an “unprivate detective” named Rue Ryuzaki who had been hired by the murder victims’ families to investigate the murder, independent of the police. Under the guise of cooperative investigation, B skillfully led Naomi through the obscure clues he’d left behind at the scene of each murder, pointing to the location of the fourth and final murder. B’s intent at the final scene was to commit suicide by setting himself on fire after setting it up to look like another murder, and thus leave L with a puzzle he could never solve. This, in B’s mind, would prove that he was better than L. Naomi, however, was able to piece together the final clues and determine Ryuzaki’s identity as the killer, B, and place him under arrest before he was able to succeed in his suicide plot, though not before B was able to

Powers: Through the Wammy’s House program, B received extensive training in the investigative arts. He is adept at problem-solving, creative thinking, and logical reasoning, as evident in his prowess for both creating and solving puzzles, particularly crossword puzzles. B is an expert speed-reader, speaks both English and Japanese fluently, and demonstrates high proficiency in mathematics. Although it is not stated in the text of Another Note, it is likely B is also proficient in a number of additional languages and highly skilled in various types of computer work, including programming and hacking

B’s greatest personality weakness is shortsightedness with respect to his obsessiveness; his eventual downfall is caused by the fact that he became so fixated on one thing - beating L - that he failed to consider anything else. For example, B underestimated Naomi Misora’s deductive abilities, and she was able to solve the mystery of his identity as the killer behind the series of murders and apprehend B before he was able to set the final stage of his murder plan into motion. B’s skewed world view is also something of weakness - though he is not prone to outbursts or displays of action not thoroughly calculated, B is still somewhat emotionally unstable, especially considering that the end result of the series of murders was intended to be a rather gruesome suicide

Third Person (recycled): B cracked his neck twice before pushing through the heavy wooden door of the cathedral and shuffling out onto the cement steps, blinking as his eyes adjusted to the overcast sunlight. He was careful to close the door silently behind him, out of habit - he’d spent half of his life training to slip in and out of places undetected; allowing a door to slam shut, even in a public space such as this, would be unacceptably careless. This was a new, unfamiliar location, and B couldn’t be sure what to expect. He frowned, thinking, and shoved both hands into his front jeans pockets; the fingers of his right hand brushed something small and metal. B drew the bit of metal - a key - out of his pocket and held it close to his face, inspecting. His eyes flickered over the address scribbled on the attached tag - was this a clue of some sort? It was just an ordinary key, but all the same, B was certain he’d never seen it before. It appears I am supposed to find this location, B pondered as he slowly ambled down the
