| Note:This is not a comparison between looks Title explains everything. I like Light Yagami because he is smart and is the saviour of the world. He protects the innocent people from kidnappers,murder,rapists and all other types of criminals. He is a justice hero but most confuse him as a villain.He even sacrifices his soul for doing good for the world and was even ready to sacrifice his family. While I hate L because he is annoying. He is a pervert and has ugly eating habits.  Well,try listening this amazing soundtrack |

| Light 100%. He's cool, intelligent and the way he can manipulate and perceive others is remarkable. I like that he doesn't let any feelings get in the way of his motives. |
| yeah I definitely prefer sociopathic Light to autistic L Light wants to do good for the world even though he's a heartless tyrant whereas L doesn't give a shit about anything except feeling gratification. |
 |
| L because he seems to be somewhat optimistic about the world. I'm more of a Light in terms of assuming the worst of people and I don't think it's a good outlook to have at all, hence why I think L is the stronger person emotionally speaking. |
 |
| When I first watched death note I liked L more but now I see that Kira is justice |
| I have Light in my favourite character list because I like Light's ideology of justice more. |
| I like Light more because to me Light's personality is more interesting than L. |
 |
| light is a better character l is very overrated imo |
| Definitely Light, L doesn't even look like a real person to begin with. |
  "I wonder if anything will ever change? Will that day ever come?" - Okazaki, Tomoya "Nothing can stay unchanged. Fun things… Happy things… They can’t possibly remain the same." - Furukawa, Nagisa |
| I love Light in the first 3 ep's, after L gets introduced the show wents from god mode into garbage mode real fast. |
 |
| Definitely Light because Kira is justice. |

| Definitely L, because Light is such a bland, boring and bad character imo. No interesting emotions, no interesting internal struggle and ends up dead in the end for becoming so arrogant that he literally turns into a dumbass. He doesn't even believe in his own ideology as even his ego is more important to him which becomes his downfall. Just a disappointing character. L isn't a great character or anything (but I don't think he's bad) and we get less of an insight into his mind than in Light's but that's honestly for the better for me, because what I've seen in Light's mind is just disappointing. |
| Light is the true justice, Kira is the only god humanity needs, L is evil and evil should be purged. L is also a pervert, what he did to Misa Misa is unacceptable. |
    |
I know that, I'm sorry if it's confusing, but I'm talking about his way of discovering things, not how he acts as a person. |

| L tho I think Light is far better as a character. I just found L to be very entertaining and I don't like Light's god complex. Also Light's way of just killing off people just by seeing on the TV or reading the list of suspects from the police records is pretty dumb. Cases can be more complex than just person a killed person b so he bad. If he really is a savior he should come up with a system where he can evaluate each and every case and deliver true justice. In general tho both of them are unlikeable, the only good likeable character in death note is Soichiro Yagami. |

| I hate both L is the lesser evil so I choose him. Only character from death note I found very likable in death note was Touta Matsuda. Light and L are basically front and backbenchers of a class and their chunibyo dream coming true. Matsuda is more of the real representation of inbetween general population, so i can relate to him more |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|
| Light, since he makes for an interesting character study. Death Note is pretty much the story of how a pyschopath gains the power to entertain his fantasy of his god complex. |
| "Did you forget already? In my word the color "red" doesn't exist. These must be...my tears. Ever since I woke up from my coma...I think I've been waiting for this very moment. You'd do well to remember this, Maya. The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over." (Ace Attorney T&T: Bridge to the Turnabout) "I'm my worst critic." (Kendrick Lamar)  |
| Light is amore interesting as a character I was never really a fan of L. |
  β€ Incessant Rain β€ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| both are awesome. though L is definitely better |

Me chilling before this thread gets removed |
     |
I don't think it will get removed because it is not a X vs X thread. I'm not asking who is better. Well, tell me your real answer? |
| Light always remained based no matter even if the whole world were to go against him he stuck to his ideals, weather he's good or bad is up to opinion but hes based af i respect the guy then L is just L, still cool in his own way but not up to lights level |
 |
| Light Yagami all the way He is my favourite character |
Mantron said: I don't think it will get removed because it is not a X vs X thread. I'm not asking who is better. Well, tell me your real answer? It's just the mods have a tendency of deleting stuff like this. But I like L more. Light is a better character, but I'll always love L more. |

No it will probably not get removed becasue it is not a X vs Y thread. I'm not comparing the characters. I'm just asking which character people like more Secondly,this thread didnt got that popular |
| L because he funny... Light is just an edgy teen, he's basically your average Mirai Nikki fan |
 |
| Wow,glad to see that light is wining with a big percentage.Now ppl finally have realized. |
 For your Information: |
| Naaah, my favourite character from DN is Touta Matsuda. |
| None, both are garbage characters. |
| Yagami Light. 1st of all, I have a mad bias towards MC of literally all anime that I watched. 2nd I have always love over-intelligent MC. 3rd (I feel like the 3rd reason is a spoiler), |
  ππΌππ πΌπ πΊπΌπππ΄ππ΄ - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |

| lmao same. I have a feeling the mods will remove this thread :( |
| (SPOILER WARNING FOR DEATH NOTE) Light because his goal was more understandable then L's . It was well executed even though it failed at the end. L was a great character, but he had less personality. L's goal of finding out who Kira is doesn't feel like he ever wanted to do it until he was kind of made to do it. |
| I lean on Light. I like him more due to how i like the way he is portrayed in the anime. |

| When I was a young child I preferred L for his quirkiness. Then as time went on and my memory and love for death note aged like fine wine, I finally allowed myself to re-watch it again and came to the conclusion that I prefer Light much more because he is a wonderfully written, fleshed-out character, and not only that, but an actual villain with every intention of remaining a villain until the very end. |
