I liked that very much, the unexpected action from Aizawa. And I can totally see the build-up to their televised execution and the sudden!survival as a kind of catalyst for making spur-of-the-moment, bold, and somewhat irrational decisions. Hell, the Chief had certainly done a fair share of these (from a hospital bed to a one-man assault on Sakura TV headquarters, for example).
I think it was an excellent decision to have Raito die offscreen. The manga gave him a multi-page death scene (not saying you couldn't match or top that), so it was better to make his death a more distant experience, almost as if separating Raito from Kira -- Raito is human and susceptible to death, but Kira has by now grown to such proportions that he will not die as easily. Of course, I'm biased, at the back of my mind I'm thinking, serves you right, Raito! (you asshole). ^_^
I know I experimented with my review styles a bit, I hope you enjoyed them. If it isn't obvious, every one of my paragraphs can be prefaced with I like how....
