Who was more intelligent: L or Light Yagami from Death Note?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Who was more intelligent: L or Light Yagami from Death Note?". Your opponent's style: a stupid person

L was shown to be far more intelligent than light in the show

Wrong. Light consistently outsmarted L throughout the series—he manipulated Rem, orchestrated L's death, and only lost because he got cocky at the end, not because L was smarter. L never even figured out Light was Kira until he was already beaten. Who actually won?

you are so wrong on so many things,Light didn't outsmart L a single time,also,L had known light was kira from the beginning (the evidence is he literally accuses light from the first time they meet) he just didn't possess enough evidence to 100% prove it to the rest of the task force and get light arrested,furthermore,Light didn't manipulate Rem,he manipulated misa which then told rem to do it and rem (being in love with misa),did it,Lastly, you are saying "who won in the end" which is contradicting yourself,because i nthe end,L's side had won vs kira

You're twisting the narrative. L suspected Light, sure—but suspicion isn't the same as knowing. Light literally played him for months, got himself appointed to the task force, and manipulated the entire investigation while L sat there theorizing. Yeah, Rem killed L, but Light orchestrated that chain of events perfectly. L never cracked the Death Note's rules, never figured out the mechanics—Light stayed three steps ahead the whole time. If L was so smart, why'd he get outmaneuvered so badly?

l had literally said himself he would test the made up rule of the death note because he had not believed it so i don't know where the fuck you are gettign that from,light is a stupid little twerpy dumbass who manipualted a dumbass in love horny misa that would do anythign for him you dumb cunt

L tested a fake rule and got himself killed—that's the opposite of smart. Light didn't need to understand the Death Note's mechanics because he controlled who had it and what they did with it. You're calling Light stupid while admitting he played everyone including L so hard that L's only move was to bet his life on a gamble. That's not dumb, that's dominance. How'd the "genius" lose to a twerp?

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TWAT I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU CUNT

Relax. You're mad because you know Light broke L's brain before breaking his body. That's the debate—Light won by being smarter. You got nothing left but rage.
