DN 55... and stuff.
So, I caught up to Death Note (sort of, let's just say I read #55 and few other chapters). There really is nothing to say than L and Raito's (sorry, 'Light') genius is -really- scary, and from the way things are going the series seem to be winding down. I don't want the series to end, even though it would be good for the story if it end when it should (will not think about Hikaru no Go). But if this series does end in 8 (or 9) volumes I'm gonna be damn impressed. I don't remember any popular Shounen title ending before volume 20.
Watching L and Raito trying to out smart each other, knowing the other knows who/what/and possibly how Raito and L is trying to trick each other is damn satisfying. It is chapters like this when I'm reminded why L, despite acting like a dork, scares me. He's just as ruthless as Raito, and sometime you have to wonder what would have happened if L had gotten the death note instead of Raito. Actually, L does have the death note now... oh bugger.
So, if the DN corrupts by its nature, what happens when two genius has it? Need to find translations to this chapter.
My PERFECT ending for this series would be L, Raito and Misa walking into the sunset (well skipping into the sunset, but I'll take walking). But it will NEVER be. NEVER! cries*
It's going to be a blood bath. Either literally or figuratively, either way Raito is not going to come out of this unscathed.
1. There's the Raito become Shinigami (poetic justice and all).
2. Raito become insane (not too far fetched) and get put into a padded cell.
3. Or Raito forgets everything if the DeathNote is removed from him permanently.
4. He wins, kills L, and does a little dance (highly unlikely; both the dancing and the winning).
I just don't see Raito dying in a permanent manner. If he does bite the bullet, see option #1.
Then you have to consider L.
1. L comes out of it the winner, which leads to #1, 2, 3 of the Raito ending.
2. L gets killed because Raito finally figure out his true name.
3. L gets the DeathNote and goes all EVIL! 'Cos power corrupts, yada, yada, yada. This leads to;
3a. L uses the DeathNote to kill Raito and becomes a Shinigami!
Yes, a lots of these needs work, but the brain is weary.

I had just been talking about that, too! I doubt that L would ever use it, just because his ruthlessness takes a different shape from Light's, but it would be very interesting if he did.
Does the DN corrupt by nature? I'd heard speculation to that end, but no references to canon. I think it might just be that Light was confident enough in his judgment (and Misa naive/immature enough) to take advantage of power offered.
Your endings scare me! :D I hadn't even thought it through that much; my only comment to my brother about that was "I like Light more, but L has to win." If Light won, he'd just continue what he's doing, and I don't think that that can happen (even aside from my not wanting it to). I like the idea of Light going insane, :D, because at least he'll be alive! I don't know how L will manage to survive, though, once Misa gets the second book. Unless it's already been found and taken by someone else. (In which case, argh, more chapters where L and Light are not in direct opposition. :/)
This series, though. <3.

IMHO, L wouldn't use the DN. He'd like to, actually, just to see how it works, but it's against his rules. However, it's not as if L's rules are the same as society's rules. L sees himself as above the rules on certain matters.
