Death Note L AbyStyle Studio Figure

Product Information

With his status as the world's greatest detective, he, like Light, has a very sensitive pride, being afraid to be wrong in his deductions and theories, evident through his drastic measures (torturing Misa and confining Light during an unnecessarily lengthy amount of time), and lethargic behavior during the beginning of the Yotsuba arc. 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." In spite of his sleepy and weary look, L is very lively and active, indeed he showed us that he was able to defend himself and even play tennis at a national level. His main asset is his intelligence and ingenuity.

When Misa finds evidence as to who the Third Kira is, L is a little underwhelmed, but comes up with a plan to stop Higuchi regardless. L uses Matsuda as bait during a Sakura TV talk show to lure Higuchi onto the scene, only for the Task Force members to ambush him. Higuchi makes an escape, but with the help of Ide and his return, the Task Force catches up to him. L finally discovers the Death Note, how Kira kills, and discovers the Shinigami, Rem. Light and Misa regain their memories as Kira, and L discovers a rule, one where if someone doesn't write within the notebook within 13 consecutive days, they die. Despite this being a perfect alibi for Light, L still suspects him. Due to pressure from the Task Force now believing Light and Misa are in the clear, L releases Misa and removes the handcuffs from his and Light's hands. 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. In the anime, certain characters take on stylized hair colors while the viewer hears their thoughts; L's color is blue.

GOOD SMILE COMPANY

L installs surveillance cameras and wiretaps in the Yagami household as well as Kitamura's house. However, L places 64 in the room of Light Yagami, Soichiro's son, whom L observes the closest. After seeing Light's alibi (which was that he writes a name in a blind spot whilst studying), L senses something is very off about Light, deeming him "too perfect." The novel also states that L helped in the prevention of World War III when he was only eight years old. While designing color book covers, Obata assigned colors to characters to "get the atmosphere right." The color he assigned to L was gold. American actor Keith Stanfield portrays an American version of L in the 2017 Netflix adaptation of Death Note. In the Death Note DVD Behind the Scenes, L's voice actor, Alessandro Juliani, describes L as an "enigma, and someone, that if you sat next to on the subway with you would probably move to the other side."

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. L receives major changes in the drama adaptation. Unlike his manga and anime counterpart, this live-action L sits properly, albeit with his feet on tables and his legs crossed, regularly wears shoes, and eschews sweets and candy in favour of energy drinks. He is also portrayed as far more bold, evident in episode 2 when he accuses Light and several other suspects as being Kira over the phone without even using a voice scrambler. He shows more emotions than L does in the manga, screaming during his fight with Light and laughing when he knows he has Light cornered. 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.

Not satisfied unless you're Kira…? Yes, that may be true… I have just realized something… I wanted you to be Kira…" ( Chapter 38) Light, I'll see you on the other side. Let us explore the world of nothingness together.” ( L: Change the WorLd, p 188) When asked about L's ethnicity, creator of the series Tsugumi Ohba responded, "I think of him as a quarter Japanese, a quarter English, a quarter Russian, a quarter French or Italian, like that." Ohba said that L is the most intelligent character in the entire Death Note series because "the plot requires it." He added that he personally views L as "slightly evil."
