POP L with Cake (Death Note)

Very little is known about L and even less about his past. Following a significant event in Death Note, the plot, however, will tell us much more about him. L did not become the detective he is by chance, all this was in fact the path designated by his existence and this, since very young.

Indeed, L, whose real name was Lawliet, was a British orphan taken in by Watari. Before being his most faithful assistant, Watari was a billionaire philanthropist who had built an orphanage of a very special kind. This orphanage was designed to take in intellectually gifted children in order to better develop their potential.

L was one of these children and even the most gifted among them. It is thanks to this that he will become the greatest detective in the world, always assisted by Watari and her colossal means to fight crime wherever it is.

The Kira case will be a new kind of investigation for L and Watari as this one, without them knowing it, includes an element of fantasy in the equation. As we get to know L's character, seeing him in the company of Light and the Japanese police team, we will discover that the world's greatest detective has some childish quirks. As such, we will discover that this very special boy feeds himself almost exclusively with sweets of various kinds. As we know, L only sleeps a few hours a day, so sugar is a way for him to dope himself up and keep himself active in his relentless pursuit.

For this reason, it will not be rare to see him, while he is stating his plan, accompanied by a plate in the middle of which often sits a cake. This propensity that he has to eat sweets, then, contrasts with this serious and implacable side of a character that we discover very nuanced.

The Funko POP figurine of L with cake is a perfect representation of the character of L in all his most touching and authenticity. And that, until his posture. Indeed, the Funko POP of L with cake does not only show him with his favorite food, but also in his most usual position.

We will notice that the POP figure of L with a cake is curled up on itself. This is how the character sits on his seat when he works or eats. It is even in this particular position that he sleeps during the brief moments when he rests. The figure of L with cake represents the investigator with a plate with a delicious cake in his left hand and a fork in his mouth. Curled up, barefoot, he stares at what he suspects may be a clue to Kira's identity. And this, while suspecting pertinently that this same Kira turns out to be Light Yagami, the man he considers as his only friend.
