After Killing L in Death Note, Tsugumi Ohba Was Extremely Close to Repeating a Similar Sin in Another Anime Before Editors’ Complaints

Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s Death Note have many eye-opening moments, but the one that shocked fans the most was the death of L, who initially was believed to be the perfect rival of Light Yagami. He was a world-renowned detective who was against Light’s ideology and was very close to figuring out his identity as Kira.

L was indeed one of the smartest characters in Death Note, and his death became one of the biggest twists that fans could have expected. However, there is a possibility that Ohba and Obata might have regretted killing L in the series, and they might have given some hints about it. These clues were hidden by the creators in their other work, Bakuman.
Bakuman is also one of the most popular anime and manga series, and while fans might not have noticed it, it shares an uncanny connection with Death Note.
