L admitted that they were both on the same mental level. But I have to say that L knew what was going to happen, he already knew he was going to die and he knew that Light was Kira, Light underestimated him.

L_Lawliet picked L:
Yeah, L knew everything in the first place, but he couldn't prove anything, that's why he "losed". But L was the ultimate winner, as he said "in the end I'll win", and he did, Light was defeated at the end, by L's successor, so L won at the end.

deathnote picked L:
Ok, this might not make sense until you find the conection this is how I see it. (if you DID find it you are a very smart person)

Near can't surpass L *he said it himself* but Near was able to surpass Light, and wouln't that make more sence if I said L is smarter than Light because Near cannot surpass L but still he was able to defeat Light....

that is as simple as I can say it! now I do admit that L got killed cuz he was careless at the moment...people that don't realize this are NUCKING FUTS

WOW! that's pretty hard to understand but I got it! I think you could say it like this:

Near can't surpass L, Near defeated Light so that means Light is not smarter than L cuz he got defeated by Near and Near cannot surpass L

The3rdL picked L:
In the 13 manga volume on the character profiles, it shows light has higher intelligence, but L has more initiative, and their creativity is equal...but the DeathNote creator Ohba says L is the smartest...so I gotta go with the creator on this one.

The3rdL picked L:
The theory deathnote has is completely wrong though, Near only surpassed Light with help from Mello(telling him about the fake rules) and Mikami's screw up. Without them Light would have killed Near to...like Near said together the could surpass L

YugiohFanatic1 picked Light:
Light is smarter,because he planned everything from the begining.He planned to make L put him under 24 hour servalence,lose his memory,get his memory back,and talk Rem into killing L.He may have had supernatural powers on his side,but all that planning takes a lot of time and patience.

L is smarter but its not because his sucessor won (thats just a stupid arguement)...L had alot on his side to the Japanese police, FBI, a million dollar fortune and even Light for a short while...all Light had was the notebook its not like Ryuk was going out of his way to help him he had to manipulate others just to get assistance...I had them at a tie until the creator said L was smarter.

KnucklesLover picked L:
I agree with suzzieqws, L_Lawliet and deathnote... Light was only able to kill L with the help of Rem... If L wasn't killed by Rem, he definately would've went on to defeat Light/Kira in the end... And even though it didn't happen that way, and he was killed, because of his careful planning/preparation, he was able to win in the end anyway with the help of his successors. O_O Ressay, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??? IT'S IMMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE L!!! ... I... Could... KILL... You... D=<

L!!! DUH!!! Light may have killed L, but he only did it with Rem's help... And if she hadn't wrote his name, L wouldn't won EASILY!!! Before he died he wa about to prove the 13-day rule wrong!!! L's the greatest detecive in the world, Light's just an a smart college student... L KNEW he was going to die, and was prepared for it!!! He said he'd win in the end, and because his heirs defeated Light, he did win!!! Besides, the CREATOR of Death Note said himself L's smarter!!! D=<

Lawli-gagger picked L:
who cares who died 1st? blah not important we r talking about whos smarter...
Lets look @ it like this.
L is a genius right? right. Light is intelligent i will give him that but not smarter...if light didn't have the DN how would he even grace the lvl of L? he wouldn't...still couldn't...never will.
Also I luv the narrow mined-ness of the Kira followers
L died 1st L dies first...yea OK we got that but how many wars have u seen where 1 person from the opposing team dies, and that means the other wins? everyone in the team has to die for that to happen. L's team still thrives. Team Kira?...dud. I hate dumb ass ppl...think before you open ur flap xD

The results say that 70% of the vote goes to L, but lets be real shall we? In the anime L gives up too soon b/c he wants to do the "right thing" and gets himself killed......that is the STUPIDEST THING ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!! What kind of example is that!? He should have held on to what little chance he had and killed who he had to kill!

If you think about it L had always knew that Light was Kira but he didn't have any evidence. Plus the only reason why L died was because Light was black mailing Rem. If Light was smart then he wouldn't have become a crazed killer just so he can be God. L acctually had a personailty to him unlike Light who was like I WILL KILL EVERYONE AND I WILL BECOME THE ULTIMATE GOD NO ONE CAN STOP ME MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ps. Is it me or does Light look like Justin Bieber o___o another reason why I dont like him

Dakaroth picked L:
Yeah, I would say L is smarter. Light Is also fairly smart. But you also need to take into consideration the fact that Light, had the Shimigami, and the notebook on his side.

Think of It this way. If L was the one with the Shimigami on his side, and Light was the one trying to catch L, who would win then?
My personal opinion is that L would have won.

One of the most important thing's that I found, was that L was always fairly calm, and always focused. He never lost his cool, even when he knew he was going to die. Light, on the other hand, went mad with power. L even managed to provoke Light into killing someone, which gave L the location of the city in which Light was living in. Which Is a fine example of how Lights quick temper clouds his judgement.

Anouther thing that made me lean towards L, over Light. Is the fact that there was only so much L could do within the laws. As you see in the Episode, when he really has no choice but to let Light go. Even after he lets him go, he still manages to come to the right conclusion, of the fact that Light was planning on getting his memories, and his powers back, and then taking L's spot.

And one last thing (lol) he has Misa on his side. Thus having two Shimigami, and two notebooks. Giving him a much needed advantage against L. And even then, even with all those resources, L still gave Light a run for his money.
