Luv this anime

I'm not sure of that, in the manga you can see all the childs at the wammy's house playing and laughting (apart of near solving his puzzles) they just study a little bit more, ok a lot more, but it doesn't seem too difficult for them. anyway, sorry for the bad english, but I'm italian

@@peterpatrizio6091 Yeah, but look at Mello and Near - forced to succeed L even before growing up. Whammy's House was founded for the sole purpose of exploiting talented children, in reality. That's what I meant by destroying childhoods :)

A lot goes on inside what u refer to as 'talents'. They are special kids who can't fit into normal society. That's why a special place to groom them accordingly. Also they experience symptoms like schizophrenia and hallucinations (L's hallucinations and sensitivity to noise). Intuition doesn't come easy afterall. They are meant to carry out pursuits and decisions that alters the course of humanity.

Well Wammy House didn't destroy my childhood it's just made me into the man I am today

I know its been 7 years since u commented this but why do u have lelouch's last name lmao

haha nice name

Idk man, I find it very easy to love him. He’s the best portrayal of a character with high functioning autism in all of anime

He thinks he’s better than L but actually L used him to win like a chess game I think L won not Near I think L planned it like this bc he knew Light was Kira so he taught Near and Mello on purpose so that they can use his info and finish of Kira so L won not Near

Xain See that’s the thing. Near knows he’s not better than L. Maybe in terms of intellect, but Near doesn’t have the conviction or motivation to act based on his findings or ideas like L does. That’s why he needed to work with Mello, that’s why he needed him. Sure, Mello is in no way Near’s intellectual equal, but he has conviction, he has the motivation to act when he needs to. Near and Mello both improve on separate aspects of L, and, together, they create an L better than L. Together they surpass L.

Lol i posted this years ago who gives a shit

@@DuneStar01 I don't hate Near at all. He was supposed to be like L and was trained to be like L. Mello was also trained to be like L. People are saying "Near is a L wannabe noob" or something like that. But don't forget about Mello and the fact that Near was trained to be like L. Mello and Near COMBINE is basicly L. Mello as the risk-taking side and thinking of the dangerous things while Near is the calm thinking and cautious side. Well Mello is cautious too but he is more cautious of the dangerous stuff. Those 2 characters combine is L. So if your saying Near is an L wannabe think again because he was the one who avenged L along with Mello. Plus Near is not all L, don't forget about Mello and his risk taking which is like L when L goes up to Kira and says "I am L". So overall, Near and Mello combine is L and calling one of them a L wannabe doesn't make sense because Near just himself can't be like L completely and defeat Kira.

But Near called L a loser. He does not see himself as a kid of L but someone who surpassed L

But he admitted he would have never surpassed him without Mello. He had always an high respect for him. The thing he can't understand it's "why dying while you can have the victory in your hand"?

People keep misunderstanding what Near said... He called L a loser, and he is not wrong. His point was: L was fighting Kira. L died. Kira is the winner, and L the loser. It's as simple as that... He didn't meant it in a disrespectful way, or anything.

Mohax Near and Mello both are ultimate trap. Remember what Near said in the last episode. Together they can stand with L, together both can surpass L. Mello sacrificed himself to solve the case. Near said it was help of Mello he got his hands on the original Death Note.

@@ajriver8131 that is his mistake.

Nah,Near is a badass and smarter version of L(in my opinion).

nope the only reason near was won was because mello

You do know that in a 1v1 uno reverse card goes back to you?

+Crimsoneye Creations sorry but Mello + near > L

+Mello 002 No. Just no

+mustafa chey you act like it's not true

+Mello 002 Nope. I cant agree on this term. L , him alone already knew Kira was Light Yagami and Misa is the second Kira. If he abandon the evidence seeking period to charge Light and also his friendship feeling towards Light, everything would have solved since in the first few episodes. L lost because he has emotion bind towards Light but his deductive skills are just as crazy as Near. Although I gotta give the credit to Near for ending since he avenged for L and Mello.

Setsuna Yuen near he win because he have no émontion that"s why . and mello to he kidnape sister of light and and he discovered the false rule . but i'am agree with you L he was alone

I prefer L's

dude, a lot of pepole loves Near

42.

u are. he's a cheap replacement of L.

L with his sweats and Near with his Tous:)

Toys**

Haha yeah :)

L- sweets N- toys M- chocolate

Honestly, I’d argue that Near was better than L, because L never provoked Light to the point of backing Kira into a corner, out of fear of the Task Force dying like the FBI agents did. Near was just in it for the fun challenge of catching Kira and surpassing L, so he was willing to sacrifice Mello (which was his plan, he literally told Kira “I believe I know who is behind this, he goes by the name of ‘Mello’”) much you’d sacrifice a pawn, to win the chess game. Heck, he was even willing to sacrifice himself to prove the 13 day rule as fake, and win the game.

AND BIG BRAIN TOO

The only one thing i love about Near, is his theme

That's the fucking point

It can be drawed as well

Finding things offensive is for losers.

that's true though

Thank you I always appreciate a fan

@@user-ov1sx4lk4b light's theme was best

Light >>>>> L

The biggest mistake a detective can make is making a deduction based off of what they want to happen versus what the data suggests and instead using the data to just prove their own theory instead of what is actually more likely. Sherlock Holmes is a good example. He uses Inductive reasoning (He develops theories based off of what he's been giving) while most people just jump to deductive reasoning (Just what they have to test theories that they have) it's hard to say which is best, but you can never gloss over the puzzle pieces.

@@matsudatouta7202 You're so cute

Yey,Near exists.Ur my favorite anime character

7 years, ohh

You're here, just as I planned

+DarkHunter Yep. L basicly did all of the work while Near and Mello just finished it up. So really, L already won ever since he suspected Light.

Light would have won if not for Mikami though ; (

+Rock Lee I totally agree with you. If it weren't for rem, light would have lost. Also people saying near beat light, they are wrong, mello helped him, without mello, near would have lost. Intelligence stats: 1.L 2. Light 3. Near 4. Mello

***** I call the databook bullshit, ohba or obata said themself that they made a mistake there, L is the smartest since the plot requires it. Also as near said in the anime, neither he nor mello can surpass L, only together they can surpass him. So I kinda agree with your stats, tho i would put Light below L, since light's plan required rem.

Maybe Light and L are equal, but there is no chance that Near can beat either of them in terms of intelligence. Mello did all the work for Near.

I agree. Near is like the younger brother of L. The one to bring justice, the last trap. His theme sounds similar to L’s but more revolutionary, probably indicating that both L and Near are still there to take Kira down.They both got the last laugh.

​@@lore6488 it wasnt possible without mello

it wasnt possible without mello

​@@dhanrajshetty5468it wasn't possible without L either. Everything Near accomplished builds on what L did. Hell the reason Light became almost immediately the top suspect to Near was because L pushed Light into the spotlight. I'm totally convinced Near and Mellos appearance was a contenciency plan of L all along. Well knowing that even in case of his death Light would not archieve victory but only the next stage of the war. And Light is smart enough to acknowledge that too, the moment near appears he feels like he is still in the chains and mechanisms put on him by L. Light never had a plan B for a world without himself in case he dies. But L did have a plan for that as seen in the series.

Just read the manga and listen to the anime OST instead, the anime's depiction of Near's arc sucked.

Look! Near been posting memes after catching Kira.

near…

OMG! Look at his smile, hes gonna get you in your sleep ._.

Disagree, it’s more of a revolutionized version.

Bullshit nears theme is like a metal badass version of Ls if anything

lol true

but nears theme is above L's theme

I totally agree

Near didnt defeat KIRA. He and Mellow did it because they worked together.. Near by him self could lose against kira

Romulo Jesus Kira would’ve lost to L if he didn’t have help so we can’t use that logic.

Gerardo Martinez Mendez light had two death gods and another Kira on his side dude couldn’t have lost against L. If light didn’t have help and use the second kira to his advantage L would’ve won simple.

@Gerardo Martinez Mendez god like powers is not much help?

tobias wood L definitely had a sensitive side to him tbf. Didn’t really see that from Near

@@Duval-In-The-Wall l just seems less emotional because he doesn't have his humanizing quirks like L does, he seems way more detached from what a human is but that's just how he seems.

tobias wood That’s fair

he's just a child who was groomed from a very young age to be the best pragmatic, calculatingc and logcial detective on earth. what did you expect? L was like him at the beginning but he had 25ep to grow so. Light on the other hand has no problem exloiting. manipulating or killing any person around him including family and loved ones if it furtheres his goals. that's heartless.

Kira: ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ.............ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, HAHAHAHAAHAAAHAHAAAAHAAAA 🤣🤣🤣🤣 😈

Well like he was legal adult in manga (1991-2010) he was 19 and in anime he was 16. He would be 30 now

Read the Death Note one shot that came out in 2020, it shows Near grown up

It’s funny because no matter what their will be a constant never ending war of Kiras and followers of L. Kids trained to be emotionless machines to take down people with false senses of justice. People will follow Lights footsteps, People will follow L’s footsteps.

My second favorite character, here! Behind L. But Near is awesome and in my opinion he has probably the best theme in the whole show!

Samee

Hell yeah!!!

I totally agree, he's actually pretty cool

I know--as a character, he's certainly not as great as L, but as a detective (and an intellectual challenge for Light), he was alright. At the very least, he didn't piss me off, where-as Mello did.

Aru TheGreatest I don't know about that 'only Light' thing--I prefer an approach that tries to falsify itself to test its validity.

if u call mello irritating u never saw death note cuz mello sacrificed himself morally and phisically becaming a mafia boss just to catch kira if u think that near never risked just cuz he is a no ball he isn't worthy to be called new l mello is more worthy than him, l wasn't sure about who would be his successor just cuz even if near had better results mello would die to solve the case and mello is fair that much that he told near that there it were some fake rules on the other hand even tsugumi obha said that near is unfair that's why l wasn't sure cuz mello>near in being a detective but near>mello being intelligent and in a situation where a decision should be take quickly mello is better but in a long term decision near is better only togethere they would be better than l

YOU'RE RIGHT MAN!

There is something about this theme that draws those that understand it. If you played this theme to a stranger, they'd be confused, and might like it. If you played this theme to a Death Note fan, they would instantly be immersed listening to it. If you listen to this song very closely, you can hear it is EXTREMELY detailed, as it has many layers of specific instruments specifically designed to not only be pleasant to the ear, but each instrument has a deep plot-oriented meaning (how the beeps at the beginning represent Near, the two guitar's represent Mello and Light, and the subtle piano that pops in every once in a while representing L's spirit or something like that). Just some reasons why I love this song more than the others.

@Janamo Rella Why would his being related to L make him a more likable character? I don't get that. L needed a successor that would carry on his work and be the best detective second to him. What's to hate about that?

Light only lost because of Mikami's screw up

@francisco petit actualy in the manga his deductions are explained while in the anime it isn't for some reason

@@ethanrosario6287 Mello*

i quote this from another comment _Since Kira started killing innocent people.. he became the one who should die_ Period. Light couldnt win. he became a criminal and here we're just using Kira logic nothing more nothing less...

DISAGREED The anime suggested that L won to Kira they all made it together (you see his "gost" when Kira is dying) They needed to all work together because the death note is just a huge cheat :x

To be entirely honest, I feel as if Near's character can't be compared to Light's or L's characters. While Near is intelligent and he (more or less) owns up to the title of "L's successor", there are moments that don't really make sense. For instance, how did Near figure out who X-Kira was? To me, it looked like the most ridiculous ass pull in Death Note. We all know that Near knowing that Mikami worked for Kira was the main part of his plan. Without this information, Light would've won.

xArnold99x Agree tot's with you

I get the feeling the authors of Death Note didn't care for Near. In the last episode, Near tries ordering the Japanese investigation team around, and they tell him off then chase after Light.

Same here but can't help with physics though :(

Ño

L is and always the best :)

respect my opinion. for me, Near is the best person of death note, respect that opinion.

yes, but that did not matter, for me he is the best in death note, period, no I have to give explanations of why, and if I win by mello and L, I do not care.

This is way too underrated.

The only thing L gave him was the fact that he was dead. That was it.

You're forgetting about Mello's contributions as well.

lies. if you remember the recap episode that was basically all of the pieces of the puzzle without those facts, near couldn't have put it together, and if he did it would have taken him years

suzie person All of L's work was destroyed by Light after his death Near and Mello worked together and surpassed him

? Near and Mello already had the infor

Now 2022. Soon 2023

ikr

What’s wrong with that? They are by design to be compared as Mello & Near are two sides of the same coin

"his advantages"? light just needed a person's name and his face to basically kill them...so you re evaluate who has the advantage here...

he had two death gods with him too...who knows every name...think that for a second...if not for rem...L would have caught light sooner or later...

+Terry flopycow L said he does everything to solve a case, also how the fuck does rem give L any advantages? All she says is i don't know, it only hindered his plans since rem was the one who killed L, if not for rem, light would have lost.
