WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS? BUT HE'S MORE LIKE MARSHMALLOW L TO ME.

Really? I always thought Near was a lot more heartless than L.

He looks like a marshmallow, so that's why he's a marshmallow L. But when it comes to who's more heartless, Near wins that one. I mean, he's that half of L with no Mello in between. AM I MAKING SENSE. NO I DON'T THINK SO.

OH like all white and squishy and stuff afgnakjghadfk *DIES*

Think Near ever really cared about justice? or just about winning? ):

YES! Nothing related to how he is as a person. -dies-

And that's a good question. I think he just cares about solving the puzzle? 'cause I mean, when Roger told him that L died, he was all, in paraphrased format, "Those who can't solve the puzzle.. is just another loser." while Mello was all WHAT WTF WHAT DO YOU MEAN L DIED? And remember that convo we had days ago! For Near it's always been about beating L, so I guess.. beating Kira was never about justice but just. Beating him for the sake of winning? Why am I rambling sjdfkhakjwh -dies-

It's fun to ramble!

Yeah, I always got that feeling too. ): Like the first arc was really about good vs evil and who was which and what would win and then the second arc everybody had like... all these RANDOM ulterior motives for catching Kira other than "it's the right thing to do/justice will prevail" (like L was) and all the morality-debate of the series (which was what had kept me interested) got completely lost.

I mean Mello was a fascinating character and stuff? But he's just a character, not what I was reading DN for to begin with.

Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, with Mello, it was for avenging L's death. And then with Near, it's just for winning's sake. The second arc completely loses all the morality stuff, and it just gets filled up with "oh yes he did this and now I predict he'll do that", but I still enjoyed it. Probably because I was in love with the characters and the morality debate came second.

Or maybe I'm just biased! But hey, Death Note is good overall. ): One of my favorites. Despite it mindfucking with my head the whole time I was reading it auuugh -dies-

Would you live in a world that was ruled by Kira?

Do I get to be Kira?

Uhmmmm, uhmmmmmm... I thought you'd wanna be L. ):

Well I mean if there's GONNA be a Kira I'd rather be him than have someone ELSE be him!

Point taken! What would YOU do as Kira then?

START AN ARMY

ARMY OF WHAT

Loyal worshippers.

People that'll kill more Matt and Mello for you, huh?

Well I mean YEAH, if they're trying to kill ME

But but but Mello was only trying to find-- actually I still don't get why Mello did it. -dies-

FOR L OF COURSE. He didn't want L dying in vain???

oh wait you mean his death.

THEN I HAVE NO IDEA. /exitleft

Yeah, but why kidnap Takada? What's the purpose in that? I mean, he didn't know Mikami was X-Kira, but he knew EVERYTHING else, so it's like.. what. Why did you do that? D8

I LOVE THIS SERIES. D:

I DONT KNOW IT STOPPED MAKING SENSE IN LIKE CHAPTER TWO

LOLOLOL AND EVERYTHING BECAME TL;DR. DAMMIT I SPENT DAYS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY HE DID IT AND I STILL DON'T GET IT. 8(

There are like a bagillion theories on it. Many hardcore Mello/Near shippers think it's because he didn't want Near to die but oh man kfdlksf it would take forever to explain what I think I WON'T KEEP YOU HERE ALL DAY

ME TOO IT'S SUCH A MINDFUCK D: I had to read the ending twice to get it and I'M STILL KIND OF CONFUSED AT PARTS. WHO HAD THE DEATH NOTE WHEN WHERE WHY. D:

I'm half convinced the creators got lost too and then were like "screw it we can have Light do another magically pull the DN from his ass trick later and everyone will just think the plot is too complicated for them"

I mean hey, it'd work...

Dude, I have all day! Feel free to ramble away. I love hearing theories about this 'cause I came into the fandom so late, so I missed everything.

IT SO IS. DAMN THAT SERIES. And just twice? I had to read it five times. D: I'm like, what why did Mikami take out the Death Note, what where did that fake one come from and how did Near get the real one and OH GOD DID MELLO KNOW HE WAS GONNA DIE KSJFAWLKJRALKWJR
