In Death Note, when does Misa...?

Question

When does Misa from Death Note talk in third person? In the English dub of the anime she doesn't, and in the manga she doesn't.... and I can't find her doing it anywhere in the original Japanese anime.... So why does everyone say she talks in third person?

Answer 1

i couldn't find it, either, and i have been rereading the manga

Answer 2

I'm not sure you're looking for her referring herself as "Misa-Misa" or just "Misa"

Here's some of the chapter she referred herself as "Misa"

She usually talks in third person to Light and Rem, sometimes to L and the others... There's a LOT of her third person talking in the manga. I just take out some random volume of Death Note from my Bookshelves and found it immediately....

Uhm, if you mean the otherwise,

She usually does that when she's working....

Answer 3

Probably to make her sound more ditsy and annoying.

although I know she speaks in third person occasionally

Answer 4

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure she does in the manga.
