Light Yagami dies in Death Note after being exposed as being the vigilante ‘Kira’ and shot by Matsuda. Ryuk writes Light’s name in the Death Note like he said he would in the beginning and Light dies of a heart attack.

What episode does light die in Death Note?

Silence (沈黙, Chinmoku) is the twenty-fifth episode in the Death Note anime series.

Would Ryuk save light?

Ryuk is the only person that will actively help out Light throughout the series without needing to be fooled into doing so.

Straight after Light’s death, Light wakes up in a mysterious valley and is no longer an old man. He now has the same appearance that he did towards the end of the primary Death Note storyline. Suddenly, Ryuk appears before Light and tells Light that he is in the Shinigami Realm.
