light yagami or lalouch

[Light yagami Kira]

as the title says...

who is smarter me or that arrogant from code geass...

i have to give him credit since we have the same motives but my death note surpass his eye power...
but he is a better leader than me i would probably manipulated the green haired girl and most of the people there...
he actually have friends and assist which i dont need

 

[ImNoOne]

Light obviously...

 

[Meee]

Light, barley he still lost and had a garbage death though. Lelouch FTW

 

[Klad]

Light for me .

 

[S A G E]

Lelouch is just better/smarter than light when it comes to strategy and winning.
Lelouch is also a better character imo

how dare you insult me and say he is better than me! DIE DIE DIE

 

[Migualon J.J.]

Lelouch wins this

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

Well they had different game plans.

Light was simply a master of hiding his identity.

Lelouch not only hid his identity, but also was a master of combat strategy and deployment. Combined with his efficient use of Geass he managed to conquer the world and then act like a tyrant in order to bring peace to the world. I suppose it's worth mentioning he never lost sight of his goal.


So really they are both intelligent with what they did, but I'm personally going with Lelouch because he had to hide his identity, take the world, and find a way to die to bring peace to it....though even then it's plausible he actually didn't even die by obtaining Code Geass.

*actvates geass*
I command you to write your name in the deathnote while picturing yourself.
all hail lellouch vi Britannia.

 

[yoshimitsu]

nice to see there's no criteria to judge them with..

Lelouch died for peace, for a lie.
Light-o died because he was outsmarted.

 

[Minagatachi]

They are both smart in their own areas. I doubt Light could command a whole group of people like Lelouch kid, hell look what happened when he started ordering Misa and Mikami around, he got played hardcore.

With that said, Light was far better at keeping his identity hidden than Lelouch.

The same motives? Not in the slightest. Sure, both Lelouch and Light aimed to change the world for what they felt was for the better, but it was not for the same reasons in any way. Lelouch did what he did to make the world a better place for Nunnally and to get revenge because of how much the system screwed him over. Light did it because he felt it was justice, though he never had any other person he cared to do it for and only did it for the sake of his own beliefs, to the point where he was driven to insanity.

As for Death Note surpassing Geass, that's VERY VERY debatable. They're such different abilities that it's stupid to compare one as "superior" to another since they're both used for very different circumstances. And better leader? If Lelouch has anything going for him it's insane charisma, which is why he managed to even get the Black Knights under him in the first place. Light never really showed leadership of that level.

And for the record, Light DID need assistance, without Misa and Rem there's utterly no way Light could ever have possibly imagined to take down L. His entire plans to win literally revolved around the help he DID have.

Well they had different game plans.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts. The problem with Light is that he descended into madness and not only that but made many, many blunders that could have been avoided if he just wasn't so arrogant. Lelouch definitely made some blunders, but many were unforeseeable circumstances that simply weren't his fault. On the other hand, you have Light with this "ZOMG LIND L. TAILOR MUST WRITE NAME DOWN MWAHAHAHAHAHA" mentality and god complex and anyone could tell how bad that made things.

With that said, Light was far better at keeping his identity hidden than Lelouch.

To be fair, Lelouch had to be on the front lines and actively interact with a large group of people in a world with many more threatening resources. All Light needed to do was sit in a room with a book that had the power to kill people, which in a realistic world seems utterly implausible. Light keeping his identity hidden "better" isn't really a valid point to make, one because the circumstances for that were much better than Lelouch's, and two being that the moment Light's identity is given away he completely loses, whereas that was not the case with Lelouch.

L is smarter than both

 

[Miles vi Britannia]

L is smarter than both

AKA You THINK he's smarter than both. That's quite debatable.

I'll give you that I feel L is smarter than Light. L makes much less arrogant blunders than Light and seemed to have better deduction skills throughout the whole thing. To be fair Light's epic plan to erase and regain his memories was better than most of L's showings, BUT it completely revolved around the supernatural abilities of the Death Note and his allies, giving him an obvious advantage in that area.

But as for Lelouch, I'm quite curious what makes you think L's smarter. I suppose L does have the better detective instinct, but the thing about Lelouch is that his skills cover a much broader range. Lelouch has the military tactician genius, much better showings in terms of plans, charisma, and the ability to account for a much more varied range of situations than the strictly detective vs criminal wit battle events that took place in Death Note. Whereas Death Note was more of a cat and mouse game of avoiding, trying to determine the other's thought processes, and acting on such, Lelouch had to account for military strategy, ally gathering, resource buildup, political domination, etc.

L is smarter than both

L is smarter than light but not lelouch

L is smart in terms of deductive skills, but Lelouch is the overall smartest in terms of tactics and strategies.

But definitely L has no power compared to the other two.

If you gave L deathnote or geass well he'd be unstoppable

I think they were on par in terms of intelligence, it's just that Light happened to have a disposable Shinigami backing him up.

 

[SoulKiller]

Light yagami is smarter he is a living legend.

If you gave L deathnote or geass well he'd be unstoppable

The Death Note maybe, if only because he's got the intellect of Light but not the arrogance, which would make him pretty much nigh uncatchable. But that's not the point, there's no reason he'd have it in the first place. He wouldn't need a Death Note, because he wouldn't USE it. It goes against his code.

And giving him a Geass wouldn't make him unstoppable, at least not in the Code Geassverse. L lacks the social skills and charisma that Light and Lelouch have, meaning that him being able to convince the masses to join him would not be at all plausible. Furthermore, L doesn't specialize at all in military tactics nor do I feel that he has the capability of manipulating the world's political system because of his personality and style of intellect. Giving him a Geass in Death Note world would be very hax (and to be fair, giving ANYONE in that series a Geass would be, especially Light or L) but it still wouldn't do him much good in Geass world because of how utterly different the two worlds are. Lelouch's charisma and military tactics would be completely useless in a Death Note situation, whereas L lacks the military and political capabilities to accomplish what Lelouch did in Code Geass.

I think they were on par in terms of intelligence, it's just that Light happened to have a disposable Shinigami backing him up.

Well I think the main thing is that Light's arrogance and god complex cause him to make huge blunders in a way L never does, and that harms Light a lot in his plans. That said, even though I'd say L is smarter than Light on a purely intellectual basis, I'd agree that the difference isn't so big that L gets an automatic win, both are very competent at their very best. And indeed it is Light's supernatural allies and unusual circumstances that ultimately put him above L, whereas L was limited to real world resources in an attempt to prove something that seems impossible in the world he's familiar with.

Light yagami is smarter he is a living legend.

Not quite sure what you're trying to say here. As far as impact in series goes Lelouch is probably just as much a legend as Light is in his own series, if not more so because of how his plans went up to the end.

 

[Dantee]

No bias, but Lelouch is definitely smarter. You'd have to be riding Lights nuts pretty hard to see that. Call me when Light can pre-record his voice for a whole conversation or lead a rebel army into becoming the 2nd strongest super power in the world.
