Hello everyone. So, today I have some revisions I'm going to propose to you today. Let us begin.

Intelligence Upgrade To start off, we need to examine the definition of Extraordinary Intelligence "Individuals whose knowledge spreads over many fields of knowledge and science and surpasses the intellects of the smartest humans on Earth. At this level, many are capable of creating futuristic technology, executing complex strategies even under high pressure, and potentially even accurately predicting the future through sheer mental calculations, or outperforming supercomputers. This is where super scientists of exceptional scientific knowledge begin to appear." Let us see how L and Light apply to these definitions. First of all, L and Light were both capable of getting perfect scores on all subjects in a highly prestigious school. Mind you, the average toho student didn't even know that one could get perfect scores. Given how the fields of knowledge were wide and expansive, its safe to say that their knowledge spreads over many fields of knowledge. Moreover, neither of these individuals were studying that hard for the test and so this is even more impressive.

"surpasses the intellects of the smartest humans on Earth" In the Yonokama gag comics,L is stated to have the greatest mind in the world, and therefore his intelliect does surpass the smartest humans on earth. Although this one is a bit hard to measure since no direct comparisons are done between L and real world intelliects.

Light Yagami was capable of executing a complex strategy that resulted in the death of L (being that Light would lose the notebook, assist L in the investigation, and then retrive the notebook. He wrote a 13 day rule so that the task force lost suspicion, which would lead to L being suspicious towards this rule. He would still have to let Light and Misa go, which would lead to Light instructing Misa to kill people with the death note. This would lead to L investigating Misa and as such posing a threat to her life. Rem would then proceed to kill L) all while he was really close to being proven to be Kira. So, I think that qualifies as executing complex plans even while under pressure.

This would additionally apply to Near, Mello, and Matt as they are among the smartest in Wammy's House.

So, Light, L, Near, Mello, and Matt should have extraordinary intelligence.

Composite L and Watari:  During the Death Note Relight 2 special, L narrates the story. L directly states that the relight special was intended for those who haven't seen the original series and that "I am going to be guiding the plot along". In that case, it's directly stated that this L and Watari are beyond the original series and see it as fiction. That should be High 3-A for composite L and Watari (argurably higher since he's directly stated to be beyond the plot). This wouldn't apply to anyone else, however.

And that's about it. An intelligence upgrade for a few Death Note characters and a composite L and Watari upgrade.
