Who would win between these two Lelouch Lamprouge or Light Yagami?

I find this to be a tough question to answer considering that there are endless possibiities.

If they did exist in the same world and era they would probably be allies, since they both favor Japan, but I think Lelouch would lose because Light could easily just write Lelouch name down since he's always on the news.

Intellect-wise, Light came off ahead to me (this based off a 'feeling' however). And theres also the fact that Light is willing to sacrifice basically anyone to achieve his goals, whereas Lelouch will abandon his goal to keep those close to him safe, which also works against Lelouch. However theres a lot of factors that would come up if they were to face each other, would they know what the other looked like? What their name was? Would Lelouch have the black knights to rely on? Would Kira already be famous along with his ability to kill with heart attacks? I don't really think you can select a clear winner.

I agreee with you Astaroth. As for MikeRyan even if they did become allies. Either Lelouch or Light would kill one or the other because if they both realized that each has a great power. There can only be one with a great power in each of their eyes. Not to mention even though Lelouch is on TV all the time, he is under a mask so it really wouldnt matter whether or not Light saw him on TV.

Haha didn't put that into thought, but personally I think lelouch is wiser at least in strategy. Lelouch could easily use his eye to find things out. If he talked to any member of L's group he could figure out that their main suspect is Light and their's evidence that supports this. He could then just ask Light himself if he is Kira and if he is tell him to kill himself or just tell someone else to kill him.

The main advantage Lelouch actually has is the Geass. They both have hidden identities, and essentially the same level of intellect and skill, but the Death Note is obviously something supernatural, while the Geass isn't something any rational person would come up with as an explanation- it would just be assumed that he was persuasive or has excellent planning and information gathering. That gives him a valuable trump card that could ultimately give him the victory. Lelouch also has a larger intelligence network just because it's underground, which initially gives him an easier time of discerning Light's identity in the first place. And on top of all that, CC actually wants Lelouch to stay alive, and presumably cannot be killed by a Death Note, while Ryuk really doesn't care at all what happens to Light. Allies make a difference.

As to them working together- Light is a sociopath. Lelouch cares about people. Eventually Light is going to make Lelouch angry for that reason- after all, one of the main reasons he wants revenge in the first place was because the Emperor didn't care about Marianne's death. Pride and all that aside, it's a matter of moral difference as well.

Light would win any sort of physical fight in a matter of seconds though.

This one is hard. If they meet facet to face Lelouch could easily use is geass to kill Light, and Light has the disadvantage of not knowing Leloch True name. If Light doesn't get the helo of anyone with shinigami eyes i think Leloch wins (unless Suzaku decides to give away lelocuh identity)

depends.... if light felt threatened by zero and REALLY wanted to kill him b4 he got close enough to find out light is kira then he could just use the death note on say charels (a very well known person whos full name would be easy to come by) to "at 4:15 p.m. announce Zero's real identity all over japan then die of heart attack" then he has lelouch's full name... how ever i think zero will first try to find kira (geassing everyone to tell him what they know about kira) and if he gets close to light its all over... so basically its who makes the first move who determines who wins... (personally i believe light is the better strategist even though i like lelouch more)

Wow, you guys have some really awesome ideas. I, myself, think that Lelouch has the batter chance because he would probably be under his mask 95% of the time. Plus, Light has to have the name and/or face of someone before he can actually kill them. And, He couldnt write in the Death Note for Zero to show his true identity if he didnt know his true identity. So, I really think Lelouch has the better chance.

I would say that Light is a better investigator, while Lelouch is a better strategist. It's a matter of training, in that sense. They're about equal in ability as a result, just used to different applications, although Light would gain an edge from his if it wasn't for people like Diethard in the Black Knights.

The only real question I have with that is how Light would know who knew Zero's true name? I mean, unless you actually knew that Charles was his father, there's not really a way to infer that, and within the organization the only person that obviously knew from the beginning was CC, who can't be killed with a Death Note.

Also, the Shinigami's eyes don't really matter when he's facing a masked terrorist, although he is the kind of target Light would like to subject to justice.

I think we should state what exactly we are comparing.
If we're comparing intelligence, we shouldn't talk about abilities.
In which case, I think Light would win. Cause Light outwitted L and I always thought L and Lelouch were on-par deduction-wise. Like when Lelouch deduced Cornelia wasn't attacking tower cause Euphie was trapped.
But, abilities-wise, Lelouch would have advantage cause L was able to find Light pretty easily and Lelouch could find him out too but Lelouch's identity was very hard for anyone to find so Light won't be able to find Lelouch so easily....

I may have picked Lelouch over Light. But its still a close call. There are many factors to consider. So its is still very difficult to pick a clear winner.

the reason i said to use charles is b/c hes the emperor of britainia and therefore is most likly to know the real identity of zero, especially after announcing that they defeated zero (begining of season 2) i agree light would not know charles was Zero's dad but seeing as how hes the highest ranked offical ud think he would know the identity of at least the "old" Zero...
and if charles announces that the old zero was lelouch, and lelouch is still alive walking around...

Light. He is too smart and is willing to make sacrifices, even of people he loves. Lelouch isn't ruthless enough.

Now that would be a match for the ages. I think Lelouch would win because if he can just get Light to see straight in his face long enough he could use his Geass and force Light to kill himself. But if Light were to have the Shinigami eyes he could win because all he needs to do is hide and write down Lelouch's name, but doesn't have that power so he's kind of screwed right there (unless he already knows Lelouch's full name). But the winner would be: Lelouch Lamperouge.

Light is that one anime character I utterly hate and despise, so Lelouch =D Light would first have to figure out that Lelouch's last name is really Vi Britiannia and not Lamperouge, and all Lelouch would have to do is hide his face behind his Zero mask and Geass Light to kill himself.

Light needs a name and a face. Since practically no one knows Lelouch's true identity and the fact he has a mask he could just Geass Light and kill him.

Light has nothing if he can't use the Death Note.

Well here could be hard. Just think Light write someone's name of OotBK (like diethard or ohgi) to kill Zero and thats it he don't need to know who is Zero because he can command what to do to those who's name was writen in Death Note. So I believe that Light would win.

^What? If I understood correctly, Light can't do that.

He can. He can write what to do before death to those who name was writen in Death Note. In R1 it is impossible, but in R2 it is possible for him.
