Light VS L - Who Was TRULY Smarter? (Death Note)

Light Yagami was a hyperintelligent and very boring individual who one day came across a special

note

book where upon reading its contents he learned that he could kill anyone simply by writing their name and knowing what he looked like with a Justin Bieber haircut and the ego of an anime

light

youtuber was practically chosen by fate itself to be a pretty terrible guy. These actions of deciding when others lived or died based on

light

's own moral code and choices will put him in an intellectual boxing match against the greatest minds on earth, whether those minds are. Be it the international police, the FBI or the greatest detective of all time, Lalit and his superhuman successors, Niren Mello, due to his ego and boredom, found himself directly involved in a conflict with him, in which his goal of changing the world through murder was apparently considered secondary. catch him for opposing him and humiliating him at the beginning of the series, but throughout Death Note, every crash plan and trick had the whole cat and mouse scandal, who was actually the smartest, who bested who else turned on the smart one, elmore went and vice versa maybe close or soft ended up getting the most wins in the end or maybe ryuk is the smartest one to manipulate the whole show and it was even said that tricking the shinigami king has an intelligence immeasurable anyway, I wanted to make a fairly objective video about who was

smarter

now, most people just theorize, but I really just wanted to tell objectively who was

smarter

than the other, so we'll go through the first half of Death Notice where me and Light actually get into a fight and then in the end I'll give my own opinion on who I think is smarter, so enjoy, Light gets his

death

note

, starts writing down numerous names and kills numerous criminals through attacks heart attacks as international police speculate whether murders are actually being committed around the world. or simply a series of coincidences, a man named Lindell Taylor makes a call on national television directed towards the murderous identity of Kira Light, which the public made Light kills this Lindell Taylor on television without a second thought and the true use this to deduce that Kira is real and in Japan and ultimately ends up cornering Light because of this.

Light admits that he made an emotional mistake here and I don't blame him for not expecting someone like me to exist, but it's still my victory here since I'm struggling too. something unknown too, which is the

death

note of which he has no knowledge and the battle between Light now begins with a 1-0 and l's favor from here Light needs a way to save his ego and a way to attack him. in which he begins this by first allowing him to realize the fact that he is a student, this will not only allow him to get closer to him but also begins to make him investigate the police as Kira clearly has information that only the police should.

I know that if everything goes perfectly I will have to reveal myself or the police will catch 14 Kira making the police and I suspicious of each other. A conflict arises where no one trusts him and I am forced to reveal myself to regain his trust. I consider this. lights up a win and the score is now one-on-one. He now proceeds to use the FBI to pursue Light and while he deals with the pursuers of him, Light proceeds to create detours that actually deceive. He creates a bunch of note cards that literally have no meaning. I will continue to ponder as Light proceeds to murder all the FBI agents in Japan and realizes Elle's plan.

Light also ends the FBI's support for me while I sit and look at the cards that do nothing. Now it's one and two in Light. Please, I theorized that the letters were possibly a distraction, but I didn't fully realize until after the fact and even then he went back to his words and thought they were real once he realized they had meaning. fake. He also sweats in the scene during One of the only times in the entire manga because the light mocked him. Basically, I originally thought he never had a sweat mark on Elle's face throughout the entire manga until I reread this which shows how embarrassed he was.

In this scene, Light not only completely eradicated the FBI supporting L, but he made the FBI admit that they were spying on the police, which helped Coroner L even more and he was then forced to reveal himself. He also outsmarts Ellen and anticipates that he would check the shipping order. from the FBI's names and faces to his potential killer and makes the sending order random so Al can't follow it as well, so I realize Elle's thought process at this point. I admit that the light on him has closed the distance between them and The game really begins, proving that Light actually outsmarted me here several times.

This presents us with a scene where I then probe Light's room with cameras and insects to observe and listen to his daily activities to see if it is Kira. One of Elle's plans is to show a message saying that 1,500 detectives are coming to Japan on television while Light and C are watching to see if he can get a reaction from them, however, Light easily notices this and simply turns away. mocks them. Instead, I do it out loud, even in front of a bunch of lewd magazines, in case something like this happens too. Light begins his last step to finish this probing sequence, which is the famous french fry scene.

Now I have my own problems with this scene, like what if someone? at home they just decided to eat fries that day, even if they never really liked the taste before, maybe puberty is changing Sayu's taste buds and she just doesn't care about fries now, how could Light know, regardless that he continues his path and him? able to put a mini TV inside a bag of chips after Ryuk tells him where all the cameras and bugs are inside his room. The light perfectly maps out how to watch TV through his bag of chips without being seen.

Now this scene is very, very underrated by the lights intelligence, most people just focus on how dumb it is and it is dumb, I don't blame them, but the scene is actually extremely impressive now, Light not only has to watching TV and writing names on a bag of chips, but he has to do this while keeping in mind over 64 bugs and cameras watching his every move and making sure he can't be caught being weird and at the same time acting as if nothing was suspicious as he rides the bag very slowly while practicing for his entrance exams. on a level that convinces Elle, a superhuman genius who also understands psychology, that he is not acting or doing anything strange.

Furthermore, the television also has no sound, so he has to look very carefully inside the bag to see the names. on the television and then slowly write them down and remember them too, anyway, Light gets his way and that television in a bag is compacted like trash without anyone noticing, at least until later when Rem slips up and I theorize that Light using an Egg and Chips Light is able to drive away Alice Probe and Ellis doesn't realize it, while also convincing the police that he is a clean person. This makes the score 1-3, as the light was tricked numerous times into this little mini arc by itself doing nothing. in return, I'm actually starting to think that Kira might have the mentality of a divine being after this, because of Light's incredible acting and performance ability, it's very hard to say that the light didn't bring him here after this.

I have to take a new step to capture the light. As Light has progressed too much and I haven't really made any counterattacks, but both I and Light agree that they will have to meet or get close to each other to eventually win. They cannot win anonymously during their efforts to find each other. Light Elle passes an elite college entrance exam while arguably 40 percent deduces her deductive ability due to her thinking being at its peak depending on her sitting posture, which she was not allowed to use during the exams, this is also kind of interesting because when Light bl and those previous fights and I tricked him.

He wasn't in this privileged position, which means he was caught off guard and possibly weakened by his posture, if you want to say that's a possible argument, although it could also just be a joke and he could just like to sit around like that sometimes. As some may know, I act a little differently when not around people or in my own thoughts than when I do it out loud or in public, although the secret backstory chapters mean it's still a bit weird anyway. . Light is cornered and stands up and admits that he is L in public after saying his name was Hideki Ryuga on the exam.

A famous Japanese actor and pop star, this is for one, so if Light tries to kill L and uses the name Hideki Ryuga and accidentally thinks of the pop star he saw on TV when he was under seven with Saiyu, then he would kill the pop star and I would know that Light was responsible because only Light would think my name was Hideki, it's also good because if it's me who could even If the real one dies then everyone would immediately know that Light was Kira and then the real me deep down could just get Light.

Kira admits that I have it pretty good here, making the score 2-3 before this, the two then have a friendly tennis match which describes the idea of ​​how everything must be analyzed and scrutinized in Death Note when it comes to Ellen Light and for determining whether every little action has any meaning between the two of you, you have to be very cautious and this tennis match is a prime example of that, ultimately the tennis match. It doesn't have any meaning, but they both think about their ideas on how to confront each other and they both think about the exact same things while they do it.

A fun note for those who are really familiar with how intelligence or IQ works despite being very very rusty ultimately defeats I who is also rusty which can outline a higher body kinesthetic intelligence , since they are both good at the game of tennis; However, for this video we did not include those types of intelligence nor do I think anyone was really anticipating the body's kinesthetic intelligence or athletic intelligence, we are rather pitting their plans against each other and who can catch the other more than that after the game of tennis, they both go to have drinks and during this I give light to a deductive reasoning test in which he tricks him with a card that was fake that the light did not write but he acted as if the light did, but the light does not fall either in Elle's plan to try to anger the light by creating fake cards, these cards are what the light used to do.

I tricked l earlier into getting Light to see l's plan here but it doesn't really mean anything nor would it have mattered if Light got mad anyway, however this corners Light into working on the task force so he can monitor more of his unguarded movements, but this also works in Light's favor and Light is able to confirm Al's identity through his father, so no one really won here. A new Death Note appears and then a new Kira appears and this is when Death Note loses a little bit of its flavor for a while. a lot of people and it becomes more about power instead of just wits and deduction after mass, the new kira is manipulated by l into not trying to force him to appear on tv and meets the light in person, the light basically gets shinigami eyes, which is the ability to see someone's true name and lifespan just by looking at their face and a second death note considering I don't even know what the death note was to begin with and I still don't have idea of ​​many of her rules, like gaining great power here, but not exactly, while in theory light has more abilities and tactics, now being able to employ mass is a bit of a liability, she's not the smartest in the room, misa doesn't put too much thought into every little detail to the point that she has a breakdown of what 300 iq means. of hitting a ball around a string or saying "let's go get coffee", mass is not as strong as light and they are both light, and I know you can look at it like a video game where you play a little bit and you get the feeling of how things work and then when you finally start getting more upgrades and mastering the game the game becomes a giant escort mission when you have to protect someone else before they are found misa makes a good encounter plan saying They will show notebooks in Ioma with a club called blue note that exists there, which means blue and notebook is the key word.

Luz is able to deduce this and I am not, but you could say that this is only because I don't know what the notebook is. a keyword regardless, Misa tricks Light and I after finding out Light's identity using shinigami eyes and just laughs and runs away somewhere. This will also lead todiscussion about power we will have later, so keep in mind that Misa only fooled Light and I using power. Even though she's not that smart, Misa eventually makes a couple of mistakes, not only revealing that shinigami exist all over the planet on live television, but Elle at the task force stops her as the second kira for leaving. evidence of her guilt and not Realizing that this is usually annoying, but not a big problem for life, as long as Misa doesn't talk and it doesn't seem like she really does, she seems to prefer going crazy than saying anything, but Rem Misa Shinigami intervenes and tells Light that if he doesn't come up with a plan to save her, she will kill him, this isn't all Misa's disaster, as it is implied that Light was a little mistaken and didn't take it into account. tells of Misa's thought process when taking notes or tapes to send. which is a weakness he tends to have in general, assuming that people will act almost as optimally as he thinks when he orders them or gives them an order, so now Light has to do everything he can to trick him into releasing Misa. and convince them that she is innocent even though he himself doesn't seem guilty, but I'm out for blood, not only did he stop the second kira, but he's becoming much more damaging to Light than he could ever imagine.

Elle is able to deduce Misa's past when Kira killed her parents' murderer and her sudden close connection with the light bordering on obsession, he is also able to deduce that the light is too proud to carry e.g. a cute personal cell phone just for Misa while two lovers, Al prepares to call the light as the prime suspect as Kira after a lot of acting on both sides, many days of self-imprisonment, and a brilliant plan to convince Elle that the Kira's power is a curse that possesses and transfers to others and that the user cannot kill.

Basically, a bunch of light bs convinces me to quit. Get both Light and Misa out of confinement despite the overwhelming and fairly objective evidence that Misa is the second Kira. This is a huge victory for Light, especially considering that Rem forced him into this situation. He normally he would never do this. The score is now 2.4 in Light's favor, Near later says that the task force pressuring him is probably the only reason he would ever let Light and Misa free, but himself, when we see him in the monologue, he is really lost and doesn't know anything about what he would have. he done in this situation and even becomes depressed later, even almost later in the series.

The successor is very surprised by many of these things and probably wouldn't have handled them well either, so if the light can make me depressed and almost give up through his acting. His ability and his plan is definitely a light, although I can no longer limit Light or Misa, he still assumes that Light is Kira but without his memories or powers and assumes that Light will use this to somehow gain an advantage over him, which it's right. light too, while now a good guy can't be guilty of anything except hiding information that he thinks could convict him of being guilty when he thinks he has memories of the bus robbery and ray pember, yet now he begins his path to befriend and Approach L and chase after the new Kira that Rem created according to her request.

Something I never really see mentioned about this situation is not that Light is just a good person, but that Light in this quote-unquote good state doesn't either. I don't really have much ego, especially compared to him or the bad light, because this light makes a lot of inroads that I apparently can't make on his ego wall, preventing him from doing so. There are many popular videos and discussions about death. online note going over how Light could have gotten out of his situation near the end and so on, and what a lot of people point out is that Izawa could literally just be Kira and it would all fit together nicely, Aizua's Constantly questioning Light could easily have fooled him and he seems to be the most aware of the situation and is the one who tries to convince those close to him that Light is a suspect and is going after him.

The reason I mention this is because I don't even consider that. the mpa could be kira, he just says that they are too stupid to be questioned and dismisses them because he sees kira as someone who should be very smart and challenging, even funny, but it's not very realistic, are you telling me if it were in my case and He was murdering the entire planet. If I play dumb, he just realizes it can't be me and leaves me alone, like I understand this whole childish thing pretty well and I understand his reasoning and he's not even necessarily wrong, but it's interesting to point out. .

I found out that Good Light actually theorizes that an mpa member could just be Kira and not Light, while I don't even try to think about it, so if Aizawa were Kira, Light might have a better time catching him than if he just did. for fun. What to think about Light also admits in part 2 of Death Note that his ego and even hotheadedness is what ultimately led to his eventual imprisonment by him due to him killing Lindell Taylor when it wasn't necessary, for so this is a bit crude. Light without that weakness, that tangent to the side.

He created a fake execution for Light as a last-ditch effort to prove his innocence to Light's father, Soichiro, who actually tricks the lights and is a good person. Now one of Good Light's weaknesses tends to be his. naivety and later someone from the yotsuba group tags him for this during this nice escapade, Misa basically admits that Light is Kira almost word for word, so maybe things aren't going all that well for Bad Light who isn't around, but still so it goes well. getting depressed imagining that someone was actually manipulating the light to make him believe that the light was the real puppet master and that he actually wanted the light to be kira once again.

Imagine if isola were kira. Here I start to give up and the light has to convince Elle. They need to stop Kira together. They have some feats that seem very similar to each other in the words of the mpa and people who can see them together all the time and seem to feel on a similar level. Rem says this later as well. Something to note here is that Light deduces that Kira can control people and kill them without heart attacks before I actually do despite having to be on the case for much less time. This could be due to Light's memories of the bus hijacking, but I didn't.

I even deduced this when the light convinced him that Kira could potentially curse, manipulate and switch bodies which is a bit strange after further research the good light finds Yotsubakira before I do it directly however it could be say that he wasn't really trying to find Yosef Akira and could actually just be depressed so it may not have been a feat but if you think he was just acting on his depression then it would be two to five in favor of the light. The good light also reveals that he can hack computers, which reveals how he could have done it.

I dug into his dad's police files when he was evil, which makes me realize once again that Bad Light is on a really tough escort mission. He then comes up with a plan to delay Yosef's murders before I do and I fake this by saying that Light should become his new successor to see if Light would hold on to him or the power, but Light is not fooled by this. and calls Ellen out for being apprehensive again of everyone in Ella's mind. He knows that Light plans to return his memories of her, but he doesn't actually know.

How still here I also realize that Misa could have recovered her memories after Misa had a slight psychological change from risking her life to do anything for the Light to now preserving it without fighting under the orders of the light. This is something close and mello gift. I don't really show any aptitude for later, which is like a psychoanalyst here. I got a pretty decent fight against the light when he theorizes that higuchi, the new rem yotsubakira, is talking to a shinigami before the light can, the score would be a questionable three to five or three to seven, depending on what you take as wind , Light finally regains his memories after Ellen likes Gucci Corner and Light basically says that he was able to accurately predict everything I would do when he lost his memories, however, Light is also shocked when it turns out Note that I hypothesized that he simply lost his memories and was able to recover them.

Now there is another power amplifier, but the responsibility that is rem is now at the forefront helping the light, but being public to the task force, she actually makes a mistake and gives him some clues that allow him to discover the scheme. of lighting. with the fries I said before, but it also allows him to clear his name with false rules temporarily, however, the super detective denounces these false rules immediately and challenges them directly to the detriment of the light, this puts rem in a direct position to be forced to kill him. for him and die, thus eliminating rem and me's pain from the side of the light, this is like a final and definitive victory, but it is more a victory over rem than over him, at the end of the day, although the light was able to manipulate his way to the side of light. find the means to get rid of him and get away with it, it is light towards victory at the end of the day and the novels, that is to change the world, there is an alternate timeline where rem does not kill him and after the light she is finally imprisoned Light commits suicide with the piece of Death Note in his famous watch, so I was never able to solve Kira's case or prove that Light was Kira and he loses.

This is similar to the plan of a character named B, the successor to the house of another Whammy like Niren Mello. he did it in the bb murder case novel where he planned to murder a group of people until they all disappeared in his case and then kill himself so that I could never solve the case and defeat him, so it is likely that Light would have won the battle of pride even potentially without rem but I would have died in the process but despite a very disappointing ending before dying I realize that Light used rem to kill Watery as well and he passes away the score ends up around 3ish to 5 to 9ish, depending on how strict you are. are with the wins in terms of deducing each other's actions and countering them before they can get their way, the score would be a solid nine to nine, so it's three to five or nine and then nine to nine, so dead even in terms of that part.

So Light pretty much wins, but is the score really the end all be all? The answer here isn't exactly, although it definitely showed that Light performed better than me. It doesn't include a very important piece of context later in Death Note. a new indicator will be created with mellow near l and light in which l begins to compare l's successors with himself, while mello is certainly more dangerous and near was much more antagonistic and put more pressure on light light does not seem very convinced that neither of them at the level of al and at the end of the series that theory really came true and life's deduction about close intelligence is actually correct in that the light would have killed mir if mikami hadn't committed a mistake, which was one of like's weaknesses that I described above if you remember with most of mellow's feats close to god in the light are because the light was and I quote play dumb now, although I admit that mellow especially is very underrated and It has some good arguments for being very op.

This video is just about light versus me, nor did nier manipulate mika. The theory that I was wrong like monsters in the end suggests where the theory that I almost used the death note to make Mikami wrong is, so it's actually a close call, because you can't manipulate someone who has the eyes of shinigami with the death note. A pretty basic rule, so Light was actually right about Near's ability, but during the second half of the Death Note we heard Light mention a very particular word that he didn't actually mention, the first one, which is power, power , also known as the ability to do or act capable of doing or achieving something is the way in which light tags the abilities of shinigami are transmitted to humans, whether in the form of death notes, shinigami eyes, etc. ., if you have two shinigami notebooks, you have more power, you are stronger than the person who has only one shinigami. a notebook with shinigami eyes gives you more power and what I mean here is that the light speaks against me.

It could simply be because he is more powerful than me due to the death note and his ability to make things happen that the light apparently supports. So even if Light and I were hypothetically equal or dead even in intelligence, which many guides like the animation guide seem to suggest, Light simply has more power and thus naturally accumulates more winds throughout the series . Light uses this mystery to his advantage. Many times, although I think Light really did do some incredibly smart things, he wouldn't have been as dominant, especially at the beginning ofthe series, if you didn't have the power to manipulate events in your favor, I think I'll end this video with Two more points that I would love to hear your thoughts on next in the guides.

It is strongly implied that Near's reasoning and composure are equal to L's, if not slightly higher, while he is more composed and relaxed, but L is still superior. with his much greater ability to act in surprise and move on his own with a rival deduction in raw IQ in terms of Death Note's power scale, if you call it that, it's a little confusing, I mean, it's a shonen, you got the idea of ​​scaling brain power or something like that. Anyway, if this is true and l is better than close because he has a higher set of attributes than close, even if he has one IQ point less or something, then what's stopping White who basically has the same level of skill than him in almost both?

Stats are not only greater than l because of his ability to do everything else better, be it his social ability, his acting ability, his body kinesthetic ability, his lack of confidence in his sitting posture or strange habits that he has to follow , except for his silly haircut and so on, why wouldn't Light just be superior in that sense in terms of general intelligence or power level or whatever, but screw my thoughts now, while I think this is a good one point to consider, maybe the author can shed some information when asked who he is? the smartest in death, no oba himself says he thinks I'm the smartest because the plot demands it, the only problem is that this could be some kind of joke, the reason it's a joke is because if you read Death Note, I'm a little more than a title and more than a person and more than one person is technically l throughout the series at one point l is l the light is l and nearby also becomes l, so even that answer is still somewhat subjective at least to the reader, which is Okay, but maybe you could say that it proves that I was smarter than Light when they first met, then after that time, Skip Light was the smartest. smart and now he's almost the smartest or something like that.

I think I described everything that can really be said about this and I hope you enjoyed it. I had to re-read all of Death Note. Basically just rating every conversation as a w or l and I even did it for melo and nier too which would actually double this video to an hour long but I thought people would just do it. most interested in l versus kira thank you so much for watching if you have any other death note videos you want to see or even death no versus another series just let me know, subscribe if you want to see more and maybe give it a like and a big break from your day until next time
