[quote=Zukaari]near .. compare the age of the two : L and N .. near is way more younger .. but more intellect .. [/quote] but near [b]can't[/b] solve the case without [b]L[/b].... L is the best in deductive solving... i choose L because.... yeah Light is intelligent... but he has a deathnote... and yeah he can use the rules in the deathnote to plan well on fighting L.... so Light is in favor of the rhythm.. but even if Light has a deathnote... L took the consequence of fighting Kira.. and withstand the power of Light for a long period of time.... XD
