I wonder what that Ryuk was thinking to give him a death eraser. I won't even call him Ryuk. That one shall be called...Pyuk.Maybe the real L (Near) is investigating another Kira some other place?

The issue is that the successor of L's name is also L and this name was given while Near (currently publicly known as L) is alive. Having 2 Ls makes no sense since the only reason N assumed the name L is that L's death wasn't announced to the public (right?). So the letter L doesn't really carry any meaning at all, it's just the position that the guy whose name was L had taken that is being passed down rather than the name L itself.
