Death Note fans confidently state that L bypasses all criteria.
Bungo Stray Dogs fans feel that Ranpo's intellectual abilities are underestimated.
The compromise position is that the heroes have different types of intelligence.
Recalling Death Note or Bungo Stray Dogs many people immediately think of the detective elements presented in these anime. This is indeed the part that attracts most in these projects. Of course, a lot depends on the characters that one associates with solving the mysteries. In Death Note, it's L, and in Bungo Stray Dogs, it's Ranpo. Both heroes have a huge fanbase. Recently, they met up on Reddit to decide who is the smarter among their favorite characters.
Let's introduce our heroes
L doesn't seem to require any introduction, as even people who aren't particularly interested in anime have heard of him. L is one of the main characters of Death Note. In this universe, he is considered a professional detective who has no equals. L is straightforward, honest, and not inclined to take sides. Using methods of deduction and logical arguments, the detective builds his own theories.
Ranpo is a member of a detective agency and one of the main characters of Bungo Stray Dogs. He is known for his ability to quickly solve any mystery. Although superpowers exist in the anime, Ranpo has none. All of his merits are the result of his own actions and assumptions based on his unusual mindset.
Ranpo doesn't have a chance?
It looks like the hero of the recently released anime doesn't have even the slightest chance of overtaking L. Death Note fans confidently state that L bypasses all criteria. They believe that his intelligence is better designed by creator Ohba Tsugumi than Ranpo's. Ranpo is considered intelligent because Asagiri Kafka calls him intelligent, though they see no notable confirmation. The fact that Ranpo can solve any case in less than 60 seconds looks unserious compared to L, who clearly shows his abilities. Moreover, there are those who believe that Ranpo is not the smartest character in the Bungo Stray Dogs universe, remembering Dazai or the antagonist Fyodor.
But there's another opinion. Bungo Stray Dogs fans feel that Ranpo's intellectual abilities are underrated. The hero has repeatedly shown his strength and of course always came out victorious in the end. What cannot be said about L, who solved the riddle too late and didn’t save himself from death.
The compromise position is that the heroes have different types of intelligence. Ranpo is primarily based on observation, he notices things that ordinary people can't see, and L solves crimes based on logic. What one does almost subconsciously, the other calculates through long thought. Maybe that's why fans think L's intelligence looks more realistic.
Let the confrontation begin!
