seriously desu
He knew exactly who Kira was, he just had a handicap that Light didn't have to worry about: the law.
If you need proof that L was aware just look at the foot washing scene which is a straight reference to Jesus washing Judas' feet before being betrayed.

But Light was a college student when L died.
Seriously fuck all of you delusional sociopathic Light fags I hate all of you so goddamn much L was an autistic saint and without the framework he layed Near and Mello wouldn't have been able to do shit.
The fact that Light was even able to be caught at all with an anonymous killing device is a testament to how brilliant L was and how much of a shitter Light was.
One of my happiest anime memories is seeing him fall apart at the end of the series
>fuckton of cameras in light's room
>doesn't notice potato chips

Fuck you

Light was right. And he did nothing wrong.
>>142941278
If L knew what kind of supernatural shit he was dealing with from the start then Light would've gotten caught within weeks.
L is a regular detective, not fucking Agent Mulder.

I'll show you the creation of the new world!
To be fair, Light is the smartest high schooler in the world, AND had two shinigamis, two death notes, and a girl who would to anything for him, including halving her lifespan twice, on his side.
>>142945007
Yeah L only had incompetent losers.
>>142945326
Who'd hinder him.
If it wasn't for them, he'd have kept Light under observation for a longer time, and he wouldn't have let Light and Misa go free.
I think L is just really lazy. Remember in the yotsuba arc he said he was depressed and didn't want to catch Kira anymore, but Light kept punching him until he'd get back to work. He only cares about figuring out who the culprit is, and after he does he loses interest and does something else. Its why he kept Light locked up for 50 days even when people started dying again, he knew he had caught the original Kira, and wasn't so interested in the copycats
>>142941415
Someone is triggered
>>142945450
He only lost because light killed him. Light could have killed him a longtime ago
Why did he freak out so much when he found out about shinigamis?
>>142946479
makes you rethink your conception of ilfe
Pretty sure Light was University students then graduated and worked on the force.
Teenager and god of death*
Light got lucky and in reality wasn't that smart.
Asian schools aren't like western schools were they teach critical and conceptual thinking. In a Japanese classroom it's about memorization not conceptualization. You're being taught how to pass the test.

opposite, retard

Nah, the moment Light was in a position to kill him (Misa seeing his name) he captured both. L fought pretty well, considering he didn't know the Death Note's rules and still could figure out that the 13 days rule was false and Light was Kira.
Not to disrespect Light, he was in a tight spot, a Shinigami was gunning for his head and he was the main suspect and still could get ahead with his hands relatively clean. L should have been more careful around the shinigami, in fact he could have investigated about Misa's assault and get a clue about shinigamis messing with humans, but it would have been too much.
Also, Light was miles above the level of highschoolers or college students. He aced a test for the most prestigious college with almost no effort (he was using most of his time to be Kira at that point), and he also outsmarted two FBI agents.
>>142949009
Light got away thanks to the plot. The moment L found Misa, it should've all ended but from that point it's retarded thing after retarded thing
