Thread: Whos better Ryuzaki(L) or Near(N)?

Will of course L was the best but out of those 2 because he was smarter and worked on his own near was smart but not as smart but he knew how to get out of a sticky postion like the money trick smart right and he didnt die in the end but he was not as smart.

I think they are both really smart..^^
If i had to chose between L and N i would have to chose L only because he is the one that got the surch for kira started ..he narowed it down quite a but and even suspected Light right off the bat...without this near wouldn't have been able to take over this investigation and make the final attempts to distroy the one know as the killer...not to mention that L was the one choseen before N to take on this case or should i say he chose...anyways those are some main reasons i think that L could be considered some-what smarter then N

Yes L is smarter Near and the other like mello had to join together to defeat Kira but L was the smartest he only died cause the shigami you know other then that L could not find a way to get him cause l had planed it all out.

well i must say i like near better because from what i saw, near could deduce things L could, but he could also account for light's movements, in which case, near would just make a plan for that movement.

he had everything planned out, and he even figured out who light really was almost 3 episodes after he was introduced.

if thats not impressive idk what is

I say L because he was first and was chosen to be L and not near t near comes in close second mello has no place in all of it he's nothing but a major annoyance to kira and near but I do agree that near and L should have teamed up

L is without a doubt smarter than near. In the end L even knew that he was going to die and prepared for it. Near lucked out, he only suspected a fake notebook because mikimi goofed up, L would have known right off the bat if the notebook was a fake because he and kira thought so much alike that they always knew how to counter each other. Near did not have this ability, he was simply too cautious.

in the end, Near and Mello were what you would get if you tried to split the two good aspects of L apart, they were inferior to L the orriginal

i think N is much better than L cause N is like a master of L and L is his apprentice.
N maybe young but much smarter than L cause he solved the case with style and quick.
