User blog comment:Beyond-Birthday/L Vs. B/@comment-2144431-20100723124425

I thought BB had a lot more personality,mainly because we got some sort of backstory on him being unable to cope with being L's successor,which ultimatly drove him to prove his superiority to the next L by beating "The World's Greatest Detective" at his own game,therefore attempting to become "The World's Greatest Criminal".We got no such sort of story with L,the only thing in the way of "backstory" were a few flashbacks in episode 25 and a ten second clip of a young L and Watari bowing at the church steeple at Wammy's house outside a metal fence.Sorry,I'm getting too off topic,for me,BB wins,and he would have beaten L if he wasn't so arrogant as to leave clues to his identity and next victim on each victim prior.
