“That’s all you are. Nothing more and nothing less”. My favorite line of Near, he destroyed Light’s ego.
Honestly my favorite line from Near. He's not wrong eirher. Thanks for watching!
I feel like Near gets so much unnecessary hate, people love to jump at "he's copying L" but that's literally the point... He's L's successor and I'm sure L would be rooting for him to avenge him. Although I am a bit biased since I find it very cute that there's a mini-me L with his own weird little quirks.
I just don't like him cause he sucks
Well said!
Since he beat light I hate him
Took the words right out of my mouth
@@some_vocaloid_freak7065 Light was goning to be beat sooner or later
Near was smart, but as Light himself admits, he’s no L. As light said, L would’ve considered the possibility of a fake notebook from the very beginning, and Near, if not for Mikami’s mistake, would’ve walked right into Light’s trap.
Near said it too- neither himself or Mello could’ve surpassed L by themselves. L truly knew how to get to Kira’s nerves in a way that even Light respected and feared.
I like to think that L is balanced an overall efficient when it comes to make moves and deducing but that Mello is far better than him to make moves meanwhile Near is far better than him to deduce and manage a case , each of them completely lacking of the other part (Near can't handle himself alone + Mello expose way too much himself), making them overall weaker than L but together overall better.
I mean by that Mello is really impulsive and pro active , each of his moves were in a sense better than L's cause meanwhile most of L's moves were psychological tricks to try making Light betraying himself on the long game Mello's one forced Light to think fast cause everything was going on too quick. Every moves of Mello heavily impacted the case cause Kira was forced to act under a real timed pressure and couldn't take his time to think at the best counter measure.
On the other hand , Near don't overthink the same way as L did and go straight to the point searching directly a way to corner Kira in a dead way to make himself reveal his identity instead of searching to prove who he exactly is. Kira could've been Matsuda , Aizawa , Mogi , Soichiro , Light... that was the same for him as long as he can find a way to make Kira admits that he is.
@@100sleepeon3 I wonder if Kira likes cucumbers
"You can address me as N"
Literally, everyone still calls him Near.
thats because L is EL or God or ELoi; AL Ali Aloi Allah. EL. Hebrew bible/Semitic Quran
@@IAEMThatIAEMany chance you are muslim, jew, christian?
@@IAEMThatIAEMMy dude, I am sorry, but this just escalated your chances of being Kira up to 83%
@@IAEMThatIAEMyou’re kira aren’t you
@@IAEMThatIAEMwhat
Hearing Near say that he’s never travelled anywhere by himself is actually pretty eye-opening, he may be genius but he is very reserved and sheltered, so much to the point where he pretty much always needs someone to watch over him and make arrangements in his place. That’s where Near and Mello are different, Mello is more outgoing along with better social skills while Near is a better detective and reasoning.
I mean, near is a kid
@@hahbdh3085 Near is 19 in all of these clips except the first one
@@itzyourmom2646 why is a 19 yr old boy playing with toys and built like a 9 yr old. Doesn’t look 19 at all
@@hahbdh3085 I mean, most of the kids at Wammy`s House were taken in because they were socially awkward geniuses like L.That`s a big part of the reason L chose Near and Mello as the successors plus "there was a nasty look in their eyes he liked for some odd reason".(If we needed more evidence Lawliet doesn`t tend to look in the mirror as if we did LOL,there you have it!) as well as relating to Near`s stoicism,posture and rationality and Mello`s passion and sweet tooth.
@@hahbdh3085 what can I say, anime, huh
Bro is chasing the world’s deadliest murderer but needs an adult to help him book a flight 😂
hes just like me fr
@@valemadre69😭😭
It’s so funny when remembering that Mello and Near were originally supposed to be L’s sons, but the creator just could not imagine L having sex with a woman so he decided to scrap that idea.
With a woman?
@@_nupurrd_ with anyone😂
Remember when Misa asked if he's on that side of the fence and he never denied 💀🤣
They should of made it where they were his younger brothers or family. Near resembles L To much for them not to claim that he is a relative.
Most ppl may not notice it but the voice actress for Near is sooo skilled. her pronunciation is impeccable. She makes everything sound subtly intimidating and passive aggressive in a masculine AND childish way, which is very difficult for females who grow up with more feminine intonations. she obviously put a lot of work into her craft. Love that the very mild pitch intonations and pitch stressors she uses for emphasis are so emotive while still giving off a deadpan “flat” affect. If you try to mimic a phrase in this video and compare yourself to her, you’ll notice how mild her pitch stressing/emphasis and intonation is and I think that’s part of what makes it so effective. She must have learned how to do a “less is more” approach to pitch. She’s a master. And the breathiness of her voice is pretty and ethereal. Cool voice, great acting skill, great speech skill, perfect choice for the character, seriously a perfect 1:1 dub anime voice, she had to be thinking hard and speaking very carefully to be able to do this, and I bet she studied Japanese voice acting a LOT in order to replicate it this well in the English language. It’s a shame I don’t see her in dubs much anymore! So many characters would have been given a new life if she voiced them, especially because good younger boy / truly androgynous voices are very hard to come by, many of them just sound like adult women. Not everyone can do it. Whoever directed the death note dub generally did a good job as well.
Hey buddy I see you have a deep knowledge about sound and Is would love to know more about this.
Should I email you?
woah i never knew
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONING IT
That's Cathy Waseluck for you, and that's why she's always your woman to voice boys or juvenile characters, and in her interviews you can see how much she loves her work.
The combination of L, M, and N is OP.
Yes. I just did that.
Well played.
Good one
WHY DID I NEVER HEAR THIS ONE LMAO
Underrated
Underrated comment
L:- Light is kira
Everyone:- noooooo
Near:- light is kira
Everyone:- Yeah....you are right and you are genius😏
Hahaha! True for the most part. I still really like Near though, even a little more than I like L. Thanks for watching!
L didn't have enough evidence at that time...L would also have won if Rem didn't interfere.
@@alihamza14725 Rems interference is a major victory for light however, one of the biggest wins of them all he managed to both remove Rem and L both at the same time.
@@liquidsnake6879 yh , that was smart , no doubt
Near and Mello each specialized in a half of L's strategy, meaning their moves are individually stronger than L's. L had more coordination and better timing, but he didn't have the raw tactical strength like Near and Mello.
100% agree, Near had the brain part of L and Mello had the daring part.
Having read the manga in full yeah Near was done DIRTY in the anime. While it did hurt losing L Near wasn't as bad as people claimed he was. What I like about Near is how even when he isn't given the full info he's still able to put a lot together and this is fully shown in the manga how he was able to put together that Mikami was X-Kira and I hate that anime cut that moment of the full context it delivered cause again this moment SHOWED how smart Near can be.
I love how he embarrassed Kira.
Sad that L couldn't be there to see it...
I like that too. It would have cool for L to see it. I also would like to have seen Near and L working together at some point. I'm glad Near won though. And through him and Mello, it's L's victory too. Imo anyway. Thanks for watching!
I’m pretty sure L was watching from heaven n he was proud
@@melarie205 Whoever is killed by the death note can either go to heaven or hell... Sorry...
I'm sure he'd be really proud of them😭💔💔
@@mirandastube6193 L didn’t use it to kill anyone? Or maybe he did I don’t remember it’s been long
Near isn't emotionless, infact on manga he seem upset after mello killed the member of spk, also he got very excited when his theory is right that's y on last episode he smile widely when he see ryuk as soon as he touched deathnote exactly as mello said, it just he doesn't let his emotion take over unlike light
He isn't emotionless he is stoicist people like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb then hate him?
While I do prefer L, I still like Near. Near is smart, but not as experienced. He even lacks the ability to act, which is why Mello's actions were so instrumental in the defeat of Kira. I also like that Near tried to defeat Light in a noble way. I especially like how Near actually liked Mello and gave him the credit for Kira's defeat.
Near won cause he never acknowledged Kira as a God, he was just another serial killer and Near didn't fed Kira's ego, which was his biggest weakness, at the end he was nothing but chimp with a gun so Near won
Near is emotionless and that the best to be a detective
That's true. That way he doesn't get too attached or emotionally invested in the case or anyone involved with it. If he did, he wouldn't be able to run his investigation fairly. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove thanks for the reply.
Can you tell me a way to watch death ote in English ?
@@rajattaneja7891 Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll have it. On Crunchyroll, it will show the episodes in sub first. But if you scroll down, under them, you'll see the option to watch it in dub.
Badman
hmm...there are downsides
I love Near. He's so adorable. He's L's little brother from a different mother.
It's always nice to see other people appreciate Near, especially since he gets so much hate from the fandom. I love Near. After Matsuda and Aizawa, Near is my 3rd-favorite character.
Originally, Near and Mello were supposed to be L's sons. This is probably why Near looks so much like him.
Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove i like near as a character, he’s one of my favs but he did have a lot of plot armor. he wouldn’t of beat Light in an actual sense.
@@nephhhhhh in that case light has a lot of plot armour against L.
@@ishanparbhakar7150 not really, he just used the death note to its ability. Cant knock him for the reason of the show, L had more plot armor than light did, especially in ep 2
Near is a plot-armored special snowflake introduced to take over the role of L as a more generic version of him with less personality. It's hard to like a good plot and like him at the same time, since they're opposites. I'd love to like him, I'd REALLY love if there was anything that made him particularly unique or let him earn the victories he got, but there's really not much. He's just a less interesting L and gets his wins for free because the plot demands it.
Here's a theory about Near. He's not a 'rip-off of L'. Rather, when he loses someone important to him, he adopts their mannerisms. In the manga, Near starts eating chocolate after Mello dies. So maybe, he also acts like L to honour his predecessor and idol.
@Mookiephone In the last panel he's in, in the final chapter. We see him surrounded by toys and eating chocolate.
It was more of a tribute to mello as he kinda died in order for near to put the nail in lights coffin
The more I think about it the more I think he really is the best of the detectives. He seems to genuinely value his team and never others or picks on anyone (like L did with Matsuda and Aizawa which ultimately led to his team becoming fractured). He never really engaged Light in games quite like L did, he did a lot more sneaking around in the background and kept Light's nose OUT of it. He NEVER tortured anyone like L did (mock executions and solitary confinement are torture).
I agree with you.
Tbh, Matsuda and Aizawa are my top two favorite characters in Death Note, with Near being number three. And even though I don't hate L, it always really annoyed me how he sometimes treated others, but particularly Matsuda and Aizawa. And Matsuda especially. It always seemed like L really didn't have as much respect for Matsuda as he did for others.
I like Near more than L, too. He seemed more fair and appeared to respect other members of both, his team and the Task Force. Near gets a lot of hate, but I really like him.
Thanks for watching!
Near was a better leader than L, and both were far ahead of Light. Which is arguably why Light lost. Light could act excellently on his own, but when he had to coordinate others like Misa and Mikame, he was clearly out of his element. And ultimately, his failure to understand and communicate with his team of killers is what led to his downfall.
I always really liked Near. I've been on a binge of Death Note clips recently Cool to see it still getting love and new content like this being made. Really nice compilation!
I like Near too. He gets hate from a lot of people, but he's one of my favorite characters. Death Note is my favorite anime, so I'm glad to see that people still appreciate it now too. And some others are just finding it for the first time. Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you enjoyed my video!
Ty
idc how much hate he will get, Near is and will always be one of my favorite characters
Oh same!
I like how Nate still tells Ryuk his name is "Near" despite Ryuk being able to see real names and his name being written in the fake book.
Haha, that's true. At that point, everyone in the warehouse knows Near's real name. Thanks for watching!
N was different than L in that he was way more rational and stoic. L was more goofy and carefree
I always for some reason felt that L was actually hoping light WASNT kira.
I for whatever reason felt that the roof scene L knew 1 of 2 things was going to happen he was either going to convict Light or He was going to die.
Near and Mello just sorta piggy backed on everything L started, light kinda screwed up by becoming way too center stage.
L wasnt goofy at all he was more risk taking than Near would be a more correct statement he never let his guard down throughout the investigation neither he thought ever of Light as a friend when in ep25 he says to light “Have you ever told a truth since the moment you were born" knowing light was lying always that he ain't kira he also knew he was gonna die soom but the fact was he can't do anything about it
Near is such a fun character. I read the manga first so I know more of his personality than is shown in the anime. But he’s soooo sassy. He really likes fucking with Light in subtle and creative ways. Unfortunately, the anime doesn’t show some of the ways he acts out on his deductions or his personality that much. But that’s why the manga is the quintessential format for the series.
I agree completely. Near is my 3rd-favorite character, (Matsuda and Aizawa being my first two). He gets so much hate from people who never read the manga. I actually read the manga after watching the anime, but I already liked Near even from that. After reading the manga, I liked and respected his character even more and I saw how much of his personality, intelligence, and deductive skills were left out in the anime. Near really is a great character and the anime didn't do him justice at all.
Thanks for watching!
Exactly. Mogi and Matt also has more character involvement in the case in the Managua too. There was a moment where Mogi and Aizawa ran into Mello and Matt at the airport that led to them removing Misa Amana from the picture I order to investigate Takada more. Also, Near got more in depth with explaining how Mikami’s own actions backfire against Light when Mello kidnapped Takada.
@@IsaacAtap yep! I also think it’s important because Light, in the manga, understands why Mikami did what he did. Mikami did it out of loyalty because Takada *had* to be dealt with to avoid Mello or Near getting a hold of her. Light failed to let Mikami know he can act in emergencies so Mikami felt he was the only one with agency to do what Light knew needed to be done.
Light failed to account for that and Light realizes that in the manga and not in the anime.
@@Bloooo95 It actually also helps explain a lot of stuff at 6:18 of the video when Near deduces that Mikami is X-Kira because in the show the skip over the part where Mikami uses that speech as a way to subtlety communicate to Kira that he wants instruction and that if doesn't receive it he'll interpret Kiras words on his own. Near used this to reverse engineer the timeline from when Demegawa was killed to when Takada was named Kiras spokesperson. The anime skipped over this and it REALLY made it look like ear was pulling stuff out of thin air rather than a careful L like deduction.
Honestly Near doesn’t deserve so much hate, he and Mello did manage to take down Kira after all, plus I love how he manages to keep his cool even when he’s surrounded by chaos
He has such an adorable smile as well 🥰
Agreed
A lot of the hatred comes from the fact that it was L versus Light the whole time, and people felt that it made L's appearance unnecessary since someone that hadn't been in the show at all the whole time suddenly appears as another match for Light. Making the whole stakes of L versus Light feel pointless in the end. Near could be seen as a scapegoat with how he was introduced in the anime (I don't know how it was handled in the manga). Personally I like Near, but I understand why people were upset with him being added in.
If you were going to say that Light existed as "Evil acts with 'good intentions'" and L existed as a symbol of the morally accepted Justice System. It could have ended with Light winning. Light was clearly the bad guy in the series, a tyrant. He managed to create a safer world at the expense of fear, but the world was safer and less deadly. The closest a world could get to "world peace". Meanwhile L stood for the rights of individuals in a Justice System in which people were allowed a fair trial and would live in less fear of one singular entity. It was two ideals against each other, but the draw of the show was L versus Light. So when someone new took over, it just felt pointless. Yes they all technically worked together after L's death, but it still took away from the main rivalry and basically said to the audience "There was never going to be a chance that Light would have won, the narrative was already decided in favor against him by people in the background whom were never introduced before".
13:10 The way this was edited made it look like Light just left and was like “I’m not listening to this, I’m out” 😂
Haha! That wasn't done intentionally, but that is how it looks, lol. Thanks for watching!
He's precious, I still don't understand how L and Near are not blood related.
Originally, both Near and Mello were going to be L"s sons. This is probably why Near looks so much like him. Plus Mello loves chocolate and as we all know, L loved his sweets. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove also I believe L was meant to adopts them but then he died ):
Thought they were his siblings. Near had L's personality while mello had L's food habbit.
I like Near, love how he avenged our boi L.
Feel like he plays with toys cause he may have not had a proper childhood? I dunno
I really like Near, too. He gets a lot of hate, but he ultimately brought down Kira and avenged L like you said. That's an interesting theory about why he plays with toys, too. It certainly makes sense. After Matsuda and Aizawa, Near is my 3rd-favorite character. Thanks for watching!
It's symbolism. It's what the author likes to convey to audiences pertaining a character, including Near. His compulsion to possess and to organize toys to manipulate their positions implies the way his mind works - The attention to details, multiple ways to construct, organize, manipulate and plan, being able to spot anomalies in his toys, being a perfectionist in every block which relates to his ability to be sharp in his deductive skills and constructive reasoning. Basically this is use of parallel symbolism in relation to his investigative prowess.
I don't care that other people hate Near. He's my favorite character in the whole series! The anime might have glossed over it, but arriving essentially the same spot as L independently without any of L's files was brilliant. And he is cold and calculating enough that he didn't make the same mistake of trying to get close to Light Yagami.
So many people hate Near, and I really don’t understand why haha. I LITERALLY LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He is my second fav character after
L. I love them with all my heart
It's always nice to see other people who like Near. Like you said, he gets so much hate and it doesn't seem fair. He's my third-favorite character after Matsuda and Aizawa. Thanks for watching!
I think people liked L too much for anyone else to replace him.
I like the dynamic between Near and Mello that existed. They were two sides of the same coin that was L.
Near was the calculating detective, and Mello was the more emotional side of L that occasionally surfaced itself. People unfairly judge these two characters as L ripoffs, but their designs and character attributes were deliberately contrived to represent both sides of L.
A recent analysis I spotted was that Near also could represent the calculating side of Light Yagami without the ego and insurmountable god complex.
I find Near quite an engaging character for his purely cold and calculating nature, though L was always more fun for me to watch due to his underlying humanity underneath his cold logic. Near lacks this humanity which, whilst making him an interesting character in his own right, doesn't make him as endearing or fun to watch as L.
Much like his toys and puzzles, Near viewed the Kira case as nothing more than a game.
Exactly!!!! He's amazing and I adore him so much he is way to overhated 😭😭😭
@@mirandastube6193 agreed😭🫶🏻
He's a discount L who's just worse than L in basically every way, and the plot falls apart to cater to him. L and Mello both deserved to win a LOT more than him. His win is incredibly forced and doesn't make a lot of sense, and better characters with more of their own unique traits died for him to get there.
Near : The boy who cornered God.
he is the cutest creature I've ever seen, I do not tolerate near hate, clearly y'all are bitter about L's death ☠️
Facts
Yeah, Near is great and he's a cutie pie. whenever you see him you just want to hug him until he pops lol
he looks so stabbable😂
@@chrvstian no, he doesn't
@@josephinamungaray6118 I know right! Could give him a big hug,
In case you're curious as to why Near figures things out faster here, there is a good reason. There were more mind games and strategies in the manga so many moments where Near comes to a conclusion based on past events ended up getting cut for the anime adaptation. T
Exactly! Near in the manga is so much better than Near in the anime. The manga showed us Near's deductive skills, it showed us how he reaches certain conclusions. There was so much more to the final confrontation between Light and Near in the warehouse, too. The anime makes it look like Near just magically knows the answers to everything without doing any research or putting any effort into it.
I watched the anime before reading the manga. I liked Near from the anime alone, but after reading the manga, I respected him even more and it solidified Near as one of my favorite characters. Near gets a lot of hate, but I think so many more people would like him, if anime Near was the same as manga Near. So much manga material, especially for the second half of the anime, was left out or changed completely.
Thanks for watching!
In terms of MBTI, Light is an ENTJ the J stands for judging which in this case simply means that he plans. while L is an INTP. the P meaning perception, simply putting it, he adapts. Light makes mastermind plans which L observes and adapts to.
However, Near is an INTJ. He is nearly (pun not intended) the same as Light, an ENTJ, except that Near is introverted as opposed to extroverted. which is what the E and I stand for. They are both Judgers. As opposed to adapting like L, Near sees right through Light’s plans because he is also a planner. Near uses Light’s plans as his foundation to mold it into his own, to build his own plan. And in his own words “beat him at his own game”
@@KitsunesTrove Personally I liked how the second half of Death Note was handle. If they had handled Near the same as they did L I feel like it would've felt repetitive I think they were trying to show Near's deductive reasoning more visually rather than have him spell it out to us. People also say that the second half is too rushed but I personally liked how rushed it felt. I could feel Light's anxiety as the walls were closing in on him. I've never read the manga all the way through but from what I've heard from other people who have I feel like I got just as much from watching the anime.
Seriously as I was watching this arc all I could think was how Light had become UNBEARABLE. The level of corruption on this man was hard to watch. I just wanted to see him fall and Near was able to make that possible so for that I like him a lot.
Also, Near's uninterest in Kira as an entity reallyyy holds a lot of power when you remember most people in this universe cared a lot about Kira and at this point in the story Kira basically controlled the world through fear.
Tbh, I couldn't stand Light, especially by the end of the show. I wanted him to lose, and was so glad it happened that way. I also really like Near, so I wanted to see Near win, too.
@@KitsunesTrove That's honestly the point, I think. The writing was so well done to make us root for Light to win the game of cat and mouse. Then, when the audience is given what they want, we realized "oh, wow, Light...is kind of just an irredeemable narcissist." We bought into the lie that he actually wanted the world to be better, but he really just wanted to be God.
He might not be anyone's favorite but when you dig deep on Deathnote you'll understand why Near is a necessary character.
He does get a lot of hate, but I have seen quite a few people who say that Near is their favorite character, too. For me, Near is my 3rd-favorite character, (Matsuda and Aizawa being my first two favorites).
You're right though. Near is a necessary character and he's a great character as well. He's even better yet in the manga.
Thanks for watching!
He's my favorite character in Death Note and definitely high on my list of favorite characters. He's also one of the very few characters I like more in dub than sub.
The English voice of Near is my favorite for him. His voice actress nailed it !
Things that most people get wrong about Near:
He`s not emotionless, it`s just that like L and Sherlock Holmes he sees emotional and romantic feelings as anathema to deductive integrity.
Although all Wammy kids were encouraged to compete ferociously for the honour of succeeding L,(Although admittedly part of that may have been his "natural talent")Near didn`t put as much stock in this competition as the others and when Roger asked him and Mello to work together, Near was far more open to the possibility than the hotheaded Mello was.
Much like myself and L, he is most likely on the Asperger`s/Autism Spectrum as shown by his dull affect,childishness,repetitive behaviors,Eidetic memory and obsession with stacking his toys and puzzles in an ordered manner much like L used to do with his cakes and sugar cubes.
Also like myself and L, he overthinks to the point of insomnia.
Near admires L more than he lets on as whilst he initially dismisses L as "a loser", he models his posture,mannerisms,dress,speaking voice(Both as himself and "N" or "Babel" in the Drama) after a younger version of his predecessor.This is even more apparent in The Manga,Films and Drama.
Unlike L, he is even more blunt and precise and paradoxically not as overtly antisocial and manipulative as L could be later on in the Kira case which in part led to his downfall.
Near(Like myself and his creators Ohba and Obata)is an existentialist.
"What is good from evil?What is right from wrong?What is righteousness from wickedness?No one can say.I am no different from you,Light Yagami.I do what I believe to be right and assume that to be righteous.However, the power to dictate with the stroke of a pen what is right or wrong for society and any person who would use such power I see as neither just nor peaceful.Supposing there was a God and his teachings were before me, I would still think things through and decide for myself what I thought was right or wrong."
5:49 near really be out here entering the Avatar state casually
LOLLLL
I swear the Near haters don’t understand his character. Then again, I sorta get it. Manga Near is amazing. My favorite character. In the anime they cut a lot out :(
I agree! Near is one of my favorite characters and I think more people would like him if the anime Near had been faithful to the manga version.They left out a lot of the second half of the manga in general that really should have been included. Thanks for watching!
I love Near and I haven't even read the manga.
@@exshadowkick5564 Ok.
Some dumbs even claims that he magically knows light is kira
13:02 near said what i wanted to the whole series.
I loved that part light thinking he was a God constantly annoyed me
People not liking Near because he beat Light is the exact reason people say don't hate the player hate the game
Those are just the people who see Light as a self-insert.
If you like Near from Death Note, on my channel you have episodes of Sonic Multiverse in which he is one of the main characters from the seventh episode! :) *Sorry for promoting myself, but I think I'm really hosting a very special and fun series that many people would like)
I. Love. Near. He’s cute, he’s mega brilliant, his confidence and bravery is awesome! People whining about Near “cheating” are not even considering the fact that their precious L died to Light, a fucking cheater too. Using the Shinigami is cheating, no matter what
Couldn’t agree more. I’m on your side, my dear. Screw the Near haters, Near is awesome!
Near is one of my favorite characters. I like him more than L, tbh. With so much Near hate out there, it's refreshing to find other people who love him too.
I agree as well, darling. It’s completely unfair how people judge Near solely for “being an copycat of L”. He acts differently, he thinks differently. He isn’t JUST an child white-haired L, he’s very different. In-fact, I argue Near is a lot less bizarre and creepy then L is(at times, fangirls, don’t murder me) and again, I’ll say it and over; Near! Is! So! Cute!
L, Near and even Mellow are pretty great, but I'm not shocked they get hate for their respective reasons
Lol it seems like the lowest and the highest IQ brackets love near while the majority dislike him
The hate Near got is kinda unnecessary tbh, he's just being one of the L's succesors and do what he had to do to help solving a hard case that even able took L down
L was surrounded by idiots and enemies, that's why he lost.
Near always maintained his solitude.
Agreed
Near had very efficient henchmen at his disposal. Gevanni in particular is a smartass with a bunch of tricks down his sleeve
Seriously yea.....likes of
Soichiro...matsuda.....his biggest enemy Kira himself.....
I think keeping them around was Ls biggest mistake......
I love the Task Force guys, tbh. Matsuda and Aizawa are my top two favorite characters in the series and Soichiro is also in my top five favorites. They were each beneficial to the case and very instrumental in eventually helping to bring Kira down.
@@KitsunesTrove YA, MATSUDA AND AIZAWA ARE MOST ENTERTAINING TO WATCH. THEY DO MISTAKES AND LEARN A GREAT DEAL ALSO BUT NEAR HAD THE MOST PROFESSIONAL TEAM THATS WHY THEY WERE BORING AS CHARACTERS.
bro ryuk can be friends with anyone
I agree with this
He's almost like the introvert everyone wants to befriend (my favorite is when he 'evaporates' when Misa gives him a hug 😂)
I don't know why people hate Near i mean he admitted that he was not match for L alone but he and Melow completely fulfilled the role that L had entrusted them with and they succssesfully caught kira and revealed his identity .
I know right?
L knew it was possible he’d lose, but set Mello and Near up with what they needed to win. And I think L knew Light would eventually screw up.
I love how both L, Near, and Mello have there own little quirks! L loves to eat sweets, Mello likes chocolate, and Near loves playing with his toys
L like to play with his food sometimes
Near also plays with his hair lol
Near and Mello were originally supposed to be L's sons, probably why the creators gave them similar quirks. And in Near's case, the reason he resembles L much.
L's emotional reasoning got him killed. pushed to far, and in his emotion overlooked some vital theorie's. near is logical and emotionless. thinks with his head and mentally thinks ahead for multiple different chess games. also, he didn't emotionally got involved with light and kept his distance. kept his cool and only kept his mind on the case. and he won!
@Rizal F okay and
Near made Kira look like an amateur.
Yes he did. Even more so in the manga. I'm glad it ended the way it did though. I was rooting for Kira to lose. Thanks for watching!
I think it’s because light had no one to go up against and lost his ‘spark’
You mean Mello & Mikami with Near.

Near is my second favourite character of death Note after L. I would have liked it if L never died too but people blame near for it for some reason that's stupid.
Near is my third favorite Death Note character--Matsuda and Aizawa are my first two.
Yeah, Near gets a lot of hate and he doesn't deserve it. It would have been cool if L and Near could have had a chance to work together. Like they do in the Japanese TV drama.
Thanks for watching!

everyone : no

I am going to name all my toys L
Everyone in Near's team listens to and trusts him, while almost everyone in L's team trusts Light much more than L (except for Watari).

@@DL-idk lol that proves his/her point
@@luhv3.2shiestty4 bruh~~~~~~~~
@@DL-idk exactly. L was surrounded by idiots and enemies as another commenter wrote.
These people are way too calm considering there's a 13 ft demon in the room. I get that they're used to his presence by now, but still...
Near gets so much unnecessary hate. I think if he and Mello were in the entire series like they were with the manga, people wouldn't hate him as much but I believe most of his hatred comes from the fact that by the time he entered the series we already had our favorite characters and it came across as if Near's position in the story was imposing on L's (a lot of people's favorite character) place within the story. L did the biggest part of the detective work and Near (despite his intelligence) simply came in as the "replacement." When you pit a replacement character near the end of a very exciting series against the already-established main character (also a fan favorite) people are immediately going to look at the unestablished replacement character as unlikable.
That makes sense. And I can understand how the L fans might hate him for this reason. They really should have made anime Near like the manga version. We get to spend more time with both him and Mello. We see Near putting in the work and effort to solve everything. Even if we could have had L and Near working together for a bit before losing L, (like they do in the Japanese TV drama), that might have helped too, giving people the chance to warm up to Near first. Near is one of my favorite characters. I have nothing against L, but I still like Near a little more. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove I think a lot of people also dislike him because the entire time L accused Light of being Kira nobody believed him but considering the circumstances behind his and Watari's deaths, all the detectives began to really question Light's innocence. That is why everyone was so eager to believe Near once he figured it out. And again, pitting a brand new character who comes across as if he's stepping on top of a recently deceased fan-favorite, whether the main character is a good guy or not, everyone is automatically going to side with the main character.
@@darrenfreyauthor That's true. For me though, I hated Light so much, that I was never on his side and once Near came onto the scene I sided with Near right away, lol. I certainly don't hate L and I think he's a great character, but I liked Near a little more than L. He's actually became my 3rd favorite character. I can see though why some people, especially L fans, might not like Near and that's completely understandable.
After L's death, Kira knows his death is near
Underrated
Why is Near so hated?
I mean if we stop comparing him to L (who obviously is the best) one can also notice Near's charisma.
He himself said that neither him nor Mello could match L.
because mello is better.
@@ihatenear3000 the guy basically can't control his emotions and lets them cloud his judgment.
Mello is nowhere near Near
@@usamahussain4461 he did most of the work behind L. also im kinda bias because i find him relatable as shit
@@ihatenear3000 Mello is the best. There is no cathing Kira without him
Light should have won
it would have been amazing if L had completely exposed light as kira and may be then die himself or whatever.. but near's arc is also good.. Basically L found kira and then left it for near to expose him.. N may not have surpassed L yet but he's L's successor for a reason..
I was devastated when L died and was even reluctant to continue watching the series. But when Near showed up, I was actually really happy because he’s like mini L. So he doesn’t need hate. And I’m pretty sure for those who are rooting for light to win are psychotic and evil.
If thats what you like but if you are saying the are psychotic you are psychotic
@@SSJ5_EDITS841 okay 👌
@@SSJ5_EDITS841 What even is your logic? "If You say someone's psychotic, YOU'RE psychotic." Okay.
Well, no. I was rooting for and against Light. I think he should've died but that Near should've also tied. Quite a few of my friends agree. I'm not psychotic or evil either, I literally save bugs lives lol
@@Valientlink "I save bug lifes", dunno, that doesn't prove anything, but it does sound like you're compensating, psycho alert?
Near & Mello were good replacements after L, I don't understand the hate
They definitely weren't L & the show was never the same after his death but near kept it entertaining till the end
I agree. I don't understand the hate either. I actually think Near and Mello are really good characters. In fact, Near is one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!
Because the anime rushed through the Near and Mello side I still love Near though
@@astralandyuri9827 It really did. We get so much more time with Near and Mello in the manga. As much as I love Near and the second half of the series, it is rushed when you consider how much of the manga was left out of the anime.
Near is the most intriguing character
two words: criminally underrated i like near especially in the manga and in the tv drama he needs more recognition i mean this 13 year old super genius literally saved the world... even if it wasn't his intention lol :P
I agree. Otherwise Light would have won, which imo, would have been a terrible ending. I really like Near, too. He even became my 3rd-favorite character. He is a lot better in the manga though. I wish he had been portrayed that way in the anime. More people might like him then, too. And yes, TV drama Near is really good too. It was nice to see he and L interacting with each other. That whole drama is actually my favorite live-action adaptation of Death Note.
@@KitsunesTrove i have to agree the tv drama is probably the best live action adaptation yet especially in regarding Light's death it was MUCH MORE brutal than anything the manga anime or even the films could muster i mean ryuk nor rem didnt even have to kill him in the drama they literally burned Light ALIVE at the end which still made me smile since i had no qualms with Light dying anyway XD
i'm really a fan of Near's cold kid voice
Cathy Weseluck`s good at those for sure!
Near is hella cool
Lmao my man really just said “vroom vroooom” 😂😂😂😂😂
I really like that scene, it's so funny to me and we see Near actually being a kid for a little while, too. Thanks for watching!
Time stamp?
@@chapple. 1:23
Based.
If you observe nearly you will find that Near and mello both inherit L's trait. Clearly speaking both the character are originated from L. If you see mello like sweets same as L but have aggressive side of his personality but for Near he inherit most of the L's traits form experience to habits that's why Near replace L clearly and satisfyingly
They really are the two halves of L's personality. Also, since Near and Mello were originally supposed to be L's sons, I think that may be another reason why they gave them similar quirks. Thanks for watching!
@@KitsunesTrove That's what written in Wikipedia but mello and Near were not L's sons actually they both were just raised in an orphanage which was under L's father and after his death L was the owner so everyone raised there was seen as L's children but L started to train them to find out the best kid among all to be chosen as his successor. Btw I should be the one thanking you for the video ☺️.
@@RB_kun40567 Oh yeah, I know they're not actually his son's, but the creators said in an interview that they were going to make them L's sons originally. I always figured that's why they have similar quirks and why Near looks like him. Of course, they later made them his successors instead.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Even though Near gets a lot of hate, I really like him.
@@KitsunesTrove it's obvious for near to get hate because L's fan base never wanted to lose their character in such a way but it was the need of the story that's why creator made near's character similar to L (some time I feel near is L's version but younger and smart even though they're not connected) but they forget that it's near who brought just to L in the end. We should be thankful too.
Near is close to L but doesn’t have the ego, he might not be as smart as L but he already knows that.. he doesn’t really think he’s that special nor does he think Kira is which is why he humanizes Kira by saying he’s just a serial killer. This is what makes the ending to Kira embarrassing. He doesn’t look like a god anymore just a reckless god complex psychopath driven by his own ideals, without the death note he’s just a lunatic.
That was always my favorite part, light was never special it was always the death note; without it light was a no one.

I don't know why but his english dub VA sounds so beautiful :'o
Same VA as Spike in My Little Pony. Her name is Cathy Weseluck
Interesting background note, the writer initially intended to have Near die and Mello be the one to beat Light, but as he continued writing he found that he couldn't envision a way that would happen, so he flip flopped it.
That's interesting. I'm kind of glad he changed it. I love Near and I liked seeing him beat Light.
Also, Near and Mello were supposed to have each other's character designs. So Near was supposed to be Mello and vice versa. During production, the names accidentally got switched and by then it was too late for them to change it.
Thanks for watching!
This makes my head hurt. Near’s name was originally supposed to be Mello’s because of his mellow personality and Mello’s name was supposed to be Near because he’s always near breaking the case.
My assumtion is that L knew that he will die before he could catch Kira and Near and Mello are like his final triumph card. As you can see, Near went through everything about the case and decides to push the last buttons to get Kira
He did know. I think he even said (or at least hinted that he knew he wouldn't live long, especially when light gets his memories back). With no one believing his suspicions and going up against someone who can control supernatural beings, he did what he could plus he would have figured out light's plans sooner after learning about the notebook
I always thought it was interesting that Ryuzaki L understood that Kira would have to be someone with a very childish concept of justice. Interesting that it took someone with so many childish traits to catch him.
Also, I think Near mainly benefitted from Mello's sacrifice. Like Ryuzaki L, Mello understood that getting involved directly and putting his life on the line was necessary for solving the case. Like Near says in the end, if there had been only one successor to L, either he or Mello would have failed. But Near was able to benefit from someone else putting their life on the line: his victory required the sacrifice of Ryuzaki L and Mello. He could sit back and analyze everything from his safe room, sort of in the style Ryuzaki L used to solve cases like the Los Angeles B. B. murder cases.
In the manga, Light himself also claims that this is someone childish as an adult would more likely use the death note for their personal gain.
Yeah Near also benefitted from massive plot armor and special snowflake syndrome. And he happens to have the least personality out of the three of them, just being a poorly watered-down version of L. He honestly should have been the one to die, Mello was a lot more interesting as a character and a lot more unique - and L was just blatantly better than both of them combined.
Kira is that person you catch in a lie and they continue lying anyway, lmfao
so Basically a normal Teenager lol.
Bojo
If you like Near from Death Note, on my channel you have episodes of Sonic Multiverse in which he is one of the main characters from the seventh episode! :) *Sorry for promoting myself, but I think I'm really hosting a very special and fun series that many people would like)
not really, he’s intelligent and manipulative so usually he wouldn’t be caught lying, but after L’s death he got arrogant and careless but that was after his plan was exposed and he was cornered.
It's kinda sad how most of L and Light fans hate Near for literally no reason!! Like... Okay, I prefered L too, he was more human, amazing too watch and fine as hell but..... I don't see Near as an L 2.0 *.* I see him as... Near... They might sorta look alike but they are completely different. And something we never really think about is that... They were pretty close you know. They trully trusted each other almost like siblings. And suddenly, all the pressure L was carrying on his shoulders, went on Near.

Thank you very much for listening!!! ❤️)

It`s because of the way the Anime`s edited towards the end mainly,you see more of Near`s more human side and nuances differentiating him from L and Mello beyond the superficial stuff in the Manga and Dramas.
@@AspieMediaBobby fr
It’s because he doesn’t outsmart light mikami fucks it and light loses. You could say he’s smarter but when it goes like that then it feels cheated. It’s the biggest example of i outsmarted your outsmarting

IF there were a remake of this anime then the next super detective is FAR
lol
And the one after FAR is WHEREVER-YOU-ARE
And the evil persons name would be Dark
I love the fact even though he is super smart he needed a nanny for his plane ride
@Preston Gibis it’s a theory he has Asperger’s. I have autism and Asperger’s as well and Near does show many signs that he has Asperger’s but unfortunately it’s only a theory
I actually think that was a smart move , you leave logistics to someone else while you supervise the grand picture
I don't understand why people hate him. I love him coz he's the one who did the actual revenge for L's death. People hate him like he killed L not light. He got that connection with L that even Yagami thought he's still fighting L. Whatever u say I love my Wammy bois❤
Didn’t near want to beat L? And do what L didn’t do,Love them both…But L is definitely a favourite
The more i see this the most i realize N's ego is huge af. "If u cant win the game..u are a loozer". His pure mindset. This is why he is only playing from afar, not taking risks, only calculating the best moves and analazing. You see, Near is not playing, he is obbsesed with wining.
Ironically, he's also aware enough to know that's one of his faults. It's why he declared both he and Mello were required to crack the case. Mello was the risk taker who made the big moves.
I genuinely see him as a bit of a paradox. He’s so egotistical about Winn the game that he’s humble about the game itself. With L and Mello beating Kira was a battle of pride, but Near never considered it that. To him it was simply beating a serial killer who just so happened to have an abnormally dangerous weapon. He really works to humble light in the end.
I feel like it’s reasonable to play it safe in this instance. I mean he’s just a kid and looked at what happened to L
Disagreed. I see Near having the least ego among all the genius characters in DN. L wants to beat Light. Light wants to the god of a new world. Mello wants to beat Near. Near just focuses on solving the puzzle. If he loses, he’d be a loser, too. He says he’s not as good as L, but together with Mello, THEY can surpass L. I doubt any of the others would admit they need help.
0:51 the way Near’s theme starts playing there is so clean, God I love this show
My favorite character, i love how he is childish and he plays with toys but uses the toys to be creative and hes so smart
L : Light is Kira.
Everyone : You got No proof.
Near : Light is Kira.
Everyone : Genius.
Well it's more complex than that. Near was able to prove Light is Kira by L's evidence and working off of it. L plays more fair, but Near knows when to get his hands dirty. Near is L's Yang while Mello is his Yin. That's a good way to describe the dynamic.
@@anarchyxgaming8478 What was L's evidence that Near worked off of? I thought that the only information concerning the NPA was because of Aizawa and Mello coupled with the fact that Kira was unusually cooperative with the NPA. Due to the data deletion that occurred before Watari's death, the information Near started with was testimony from a police officer who heard about the notebook being in NPA's custody during Higuchi's arrest, and that L is dead. Mello was able to confirm who was working for the NPA by kidnapping the deputy director and that there were fake rules in the notebook (thanks to an annoying Shinigami). Furthermore, Aizawa confirmed to Near that one of their members was suspected of being Kira by the original L, and the events that led to that member's exoneration. I can't help but think that Near wasn't anywhere near as clever as L. Near had so much information fed to him, and it allowed him piece the entire story together like a puzzle. L on the other hand used his own wit to suspect Light. Before L's death, L was willing to test the notebook after immediately having suspicion about the 13 day rule. Had it not been for Rem, L would have gotten extremely close to solving the case. L was far more intelligent and willing to allow people to die in order to win.
really unpopular opinion but near is my favorite character
I really like Near. He's my 3rd-favorite character, (after Matsuda and then Aizawa), but stil definitely a favorite. So It's always refreshing to find other people who like him, too. It is sad that Near gets so much hate from the fandom. I think he's a great character and I like him even a little more than I like L. Which is also an unpopular opinion, lol. Thanks for watching!

Same.
Him and Misa are only halfway decent charas.
Also he is capable of making swift decision.
L's indecisivenesy annoyed me so much
I also like Near. Just not as much as L, Mello and Light.
Things were pretty decent, but there was no way he could figure out teru was doing the killings by just seeing how he was a devoted follower. Light had so many followers that it doesn't make any sense.
I really wish the anime had followed the manga here. Yeah, in the anime, Near just seems to magically have the answers to everything, including figuring out that Teru was doing the killings.
In the manga it makes much more sense. The manga shows Near going through all of the tapes and coming to his conclusion about Teru through process of elimination. The manga also shows Near's deductive skills and his thought processes. We even see him get it wrong a couple of times. The anime didn't do his character justice imo.
Thanks for watching!
near is a good detective but L is better cause he basically did all the work
I actually like Near a little more than L. I have nothing against L, I just like Near more. Near put in a lot of work too, but it's only shown in the manga.
