Death Note L AbyStyle Studio Figure

Product Information

Ohba said that his favorite human character in the series was L as he believed that L was the "strongest" character in the series "besides Light." Obata also chose L as his favorite due to "appearance, personality, everything." He stated that he could never have created L and that he enjoyed drawing him. Obata added that because of this, L is not "real" to him, and he likes that aspect of L. In response to the question "Who was the most fun to draw?" both Ohba and Obata answered "L." Also, in the novel, L for the first time completely loses his composure and calm attitude: when Maki is kidnapped by Blue Ship, L breaks down and screams toward the sky after realizing that this was what Light meant about feeling helpless to protect the people he cares about. L also states at one point that "his heart hurts." His feelings about Light are also revealed, and it is described that L did consider Light to be his friend, going as far as holding on to Light's broken watch as a memento and saying, "Light, I'll see you on the other side. Let us explore the world of nothingness together." Additionally, it is proven that he possesses a dry sense of humor, and that he is not beyond making caustic remarks to other people. L comes across as condescending at times, despite the fact that he is generally polite (especially to members of the Task Force like Shuichi Aizawa). He sometimes however, uses percentage to rate how much he suspects someone, but that in its own way, is a lie. Once L considers someone a suspect, the person would always be on his radar, irrespective of how small or high the percentage of suspicion is. As the author of the series, Tsugumi Ohba, joked while making light of L’s strategies by saying, The reality is, he’s a liar.

Although following closely the storyline of its film counterpart—with the exception of a few creative changes—the novelization reveals various attributes of L. It is revealed in the novel that the initial "L" has two meanings: L stands for "Last One," meaning no one could surpass or match him, but also for "Lost One," meaning a gifted entity who has dropped down, or was cast out from heaven. American R&B singer Christina Grimmie cosplayed as L for her 2015 music video of " Shrug." Two versions of the music video were made with the L cosplay being used in the " Dude Version." Ohba created L as a "force of justice" and a "super detective" who stands between Light and Light's goals and advances the story. Ohba believed that the story would not hold much interest if L was significantly older than Light, so Ohba created L as a young adult. Ohba said that for L's name he wanted to use a single letter with a lot of significance; according to Ohba, he considered "I" and "J" but decided that they did not "feel as good" as "L" and settled on it "after careful consideration." Ohba mentions having given L the alias "Ryuzaki" because L is pronounced like R in Japanese. For the sake of those who have not yet seen the Manga, all that’s penned down here will be cryptic i.e., would be devoid of spoilers. It was intentional that everything about L’s character be different from Light’s. His look is intriguing since it may be seen as a representation of the justice that L is said to symbolize, in addition to lending itself to his more well-known features.

MAX FACTORY

Not even his real name was known to anyone in the anime, and not even before or after his death, except to Rem, the Shinigami that killed him in a bid to save Misa. But some media has reported that L’s real name is Lawliet. L's Appearance This was demonstrated when he went to Light Yagami’s school and was observed sitting on a seat barefoot, delaying the act of putting on his shoes until he got up to go about the school grounds. When L walks, she frequently walks with a hunched over posture. L's Personality

In the anime, certain characters take on stylized hair colors while the viewer hears their thoughts; L's color is blue. At the age of eight, [4] L was found by Watari and taken to the orphanage known as Wammy's House, a home for gifted children. Sometime after, Watari realized that L had incredible intelligence and later assisted him in his cases. [5] L became a detective at a young, unknown age and eventually gained a reputation as the greatest detective in the world whose opinion is highly valued. Ohba claims he left "everything" about L's character design to Obata, who asked Ohba if L could be "unattractive." Afterwards, Ohba would include his ideas about the character into his thumbnails, including L's posture when seated, and notes such as: "he's English," and "he's listless." He also added details regarding L's mannerisms, and his "sweet tooth." Apart from all that, Ohba credits Obata for the character designs. L maintains a high level of athletic ability despite his sedentary lifestyle. During his five years in the country, L won the England Junior Cup in tennis twice. He also has some martial arts skills, as seen by his brief encounter with Light. L explains in chapter 38 of the manga that even if he consumes nothing but sweets, he continues to be underweight since the brain consumes the most calories of any of the body’s organs. In addition, he has a few peculiar habits, such as the fact that he prefers to squat rather than sit, that he prefers only sweet foods (such as sweets, candies, and fruits), and that he holds things with his thumb and index finger. Additionally, he sits in an unorthodox manner, with both feet on the chair at the same time.

GOOD SMILE RACING

The novel also states that L helped in the prevention of World War III when he was only eight years old. Not satisfied unless you're Kira…? Yes, that may be true… I have just realized something… I wanted you to be Kira…" ( Chapter 38) Now here is where the main and full gist about L would actually come in, as his Personality is going to contain more than just his mannerisms, but also a bit of fan’s inputs on his actions and thought processes. But let’s not forget the one time that L said he couldn’t have any friends. He most probably said that after looking deeper into humans and their proclaimed humanity, and seen how false it is. And also, despite how much he and Light weren’t exactly friends, there seemed to be some chemistry between them, at least there existed some shortly before L’s death. L: Change the WorLd chronicles the 23 days that L has left before he dies. L decides to solve one last case. He is in charge of stopping a deadly virus from spreading across the world. Ryuk comes to his aid on behalf of Kira's last wishes. Hideo Nakata, the director, told The Daily Yomiuri that he wanted to exhibit L's "human side," a quality which was not made all too apparent in the Death Note series.
