Did Kira appear after L? Does this mean that Kira and L are now one and the same? Following L’s death, murders believed to be the work of Kira have spread to all nations of the world.

The key words that are excluded from every murder report are “Japanese Police”, “notebook of death”, “Kira’s will”…and of course, the name of the one who’s currently posing as L.
