SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT for Death Note chapters 58 & 59 and Samurai Champloo episode 22.
I have discovered the *true* reason behind the events in chapters 58 & 59...
L obviously felt that the Death Note manga was getting too confining for him and wanted to break into anime, guest-starring in Samurai Champloo episode 22, and the writers got pissy and killed off his character.
(Yes the images are very dark. The nighttime scenes in the episode are like that.)
What's even funnier is this is one of the Samurai Champloo episodes that is COMPLETELY crack-induced, and deals with wasabi zombies. Yes, zombies. Caused by, as far as we can tell, eating nothing but wasabi. And this guy's the head of 'em - he's dead, too. WE HAVE FOUND OUT HOW L COMES BACK!
Ah, I get loads of amusement from minor character-design similarities.

Re: braaaaaaaaaains
And OF COURSE it's L! Same eyes, same nose, same face-shape. They've just got him to brush his hair! And cut his head off!
I didn't notice the resmblance at first, but about halfway through the episode it leaped out at me - I think that's when they started emphasizing the circles under his eyes, and then I noticed that the curve of his cheek and chin in the 3/4 shots was very close to L's character design.
