L Death Note : Everything you need to know

A popular manga and anime series from the mid-2000s, Death Note tells the story of a psychological thriller surrounding Light Yagami, a guy who possesses a Death Note, and L, the best detective in the world. Ryuzaki, another name for L, is a sharp and secretive guy who looks into Kira, a mass murderer. L uses unusual strategies, presents a messy appearance to conceal his skills, and speaks through the assistance of Watari. L has an occasional proud tone and a dry sense of humor despite his serious attitude.

Death Note L Character

At the age of eight, L was found and brought up at Wammy’s House, a brilliant children’s orphanage. With unrivaled brilliance, L rose to become the best investigator in history and earned a reputation for his astute deduction. L used cunning tactics to pursue the mysterious Kira, including baiting Kira with the body of a death row inmate and enlisting the FBI’s assistance. His audacious attitude to casework was demonstrated by his unusual techniques, which included handcuffing himself to Light Yagami and assuming the identity of well-known musician Hideki Ryuga.

L's Successor

L’s mysterious replacement, Near detective, shows up as a perfect example of logical intelligence and skill. After receiving training in the sacred hallways of Wammy’s House, Near assumed the role of L with an inflexible dedication to understanding Kira’s complicated background. Although Near follows in the footsteps of his predecessor with his disconnected, methodical approach and focus on inference, he also adds a special touch to the world of investigation. 

Under L’s imposing intelligence, Near uses an almost magical capacity to make connections as she makes her way through the confusing web of Kira’s plans. Since Near is the legitimate heir to L’s legacy, his search for justice serves as evidence of the lasting influence of L’s teachings, leading the story into new territory where successors have to create their own routes while bearing the burden of an iconic detective’s legacy.
