Why did.....L....have...to....die......?

[emo_ish_vamp123]

i hated that part the most!
Light is a a** hole! crying  

[saiyoucho]

L is not dead. I wont admit it and I wont believe it.
It just has to be the worst prank ever. He is NOT dead. gonk

Well, with the way things progressed, L had to die. L was not, unfortunately, the main character, Light was. Therefore, it's only fitting that the main character overcomes his arch nemesis, L. However, Light was also evil. So it's also fitting that he dies in the end or is at least eliminated from being able to use the Death Note and punished. (The former being more fitting, given the irony of it and his God complex.)

L's death proved that Light was a God, only for us to see how mortal he was in the end. I think it was a great ending seeing as how Near was L's true predecessor and was the one to overcome Light, despite his inferiority to L. And even more so that Light took the place OF L, it just added to the irony.

Alas, this manga was written brilliantly. There are no flaws in the arch of this story. And so, I say, L didn't HAVE to die, but it was a great story because he died.

When L died, I died a little inside.

Actually, that's my view as well. But for me, when L died, I died A LOT inside. I was crying my eyes out. That's really a rare event. Me crying. crying

I don't think that he HAD to die, but... as many have already stated before, it "helped" the progress of the story. Although his death was sad and, maybe, a little "shocking" (because we didn't want him to die.. because we wanted him to "beat" Raito... but then, it "simply" happened ._.), it was necessary for the story to proceed and L's heirs to appear and make it their turn of going against Raito.
But, still... I felt really sad when L started falling from his chair and then died. crying ...Poor L... sad (And stupid Raito! >.<)

*sob poor L why?  

[Sqeeee]

I wish L's death was a little more dramatic or something confused , he kinda just falls over , its still sad tho crying

Oh, and you might want to change your title to something about L and spoilers or you might give some computer goers a heart attack before they read up to the 7th book....

Anybody who's on the guild has either read that far or they're gonna find out anyway... nobody can scroll through the guild and not find it.
I try to PM some of the people who say they haven't finished the series (like, they're on book 5 or episode 20) and warn them, but so far they've all had their PMs blocked. xp
So spoilers upon them! [/sadism]

Light Yagami is an asswipe. (Or should I say Kira?) Damn him and his crocodile sadness.

It was so sudden. I nearly choked on the koala biscuits I was eating. I couldn't even cry. Too sudden!
