Is there a time skip After L dies?

level 1

About 4-5 years, since its mentioned that Light is 23 after the time-skip.

level 1

The real question is what were the task actually doing in those years? Just doing fuck all while eating Pringles all day? I would think that after only a year or two of no progress on catching Kira one of them would start to get suspicious.

level 1

Might wanna tag this as spoiler for people who haven't gotten there yet

level 2

This story is 13 years old.

level 1

5 years. Wish we could have saw a few episodes of Light as Kira before Near and Mello showed up

What happens after L's death?

L dies. For good. Light kills him by setting things up so L actually will find out that Misa is the second Kira, forcing Rem to kill L, and his assistant Wataru. Light then becomes the new L.

Does Death Note gets boring after L died?

Sadly the answer to this question is yes,it becomes lot less interesting after L dies. Still the ending gives justice to L so watch it till the end for the sake of L . Originally Answered: Does death note become boring after L dies?

Is it worth watching Death Note after L's death?

After the death of L we feel that the anime was all about mind games between light and L but now that L is dead what's left in the anime. But don't stop watching it. There's a time skip after this and kira becomes even more dominating over the world. His existence becomes a fact that world start to accept.

What episode did Light go to L's grave?

Silence.
