Why is L so strong in Death Note? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There will be some minor spoilers for Death Note though, so proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! Every Death Note fan knows about L, the unassuming and messy-haired detective with a very large amount of fangirls; for some reason. But throughout the series, he's shown to actually be quite strong, fit, and sometimes even active. But how can this be when he spends most of his time sitting? Well, it's actually most likely because he spends most of his time sitting. L doesn't sit normally. Instead, he crouches wherever he wants to sit. He sits like this at least 85% of the time, and everyone who has tried to mimic L knows how much of a workout sitting like this can be. But he isn't bothered by it at all, and he even finds it comfortable. Sitting in this way probably keeps him in pretty good shape because he's nearly constantly burning calories; which could be why he eats so much as well. I know the creators of Death Note just wanted him to seem a bit odd, but I think this could actually be a pretty good explanation for why he stays so fit despite eating so many sweets. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I know L mentioned that he doesn't gain weight as long as he uses his brain. But given how much he eats, that kind of seems like a silly explanation. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
