The brilliance of Near lies in the fact that, unlike L, he never massaged Kira's ego. He treated him like a crazy serial killer and the Death Note as a weapon of mass murder. Don't get me wrong - I love L more than anyone in Death Note, but you have to give credit to Near for being himself and solving the case. Also, there was not much character development for N in the anime whereas in the manga, you get to understand him and his motivations better.
Also He never considered Light his enemy or competitor in mind game. He simply just knew from that the person who is using L's name after his death is the real kira. And then he treated Light like he is the only suspect and he didn't try to proove it like L but he instead collected solid proofs. That's why he won in the end. He is one of the most genius characters in anime history....it is always very sad when people tend to hate him only bcz they love L more. Can't we love both?!
Death Note's last episode in a nutshell: Near: I outsmarted you Light: I outsmarted your outsmarting Near: You outsmarted me but I outsmarted your outsmarting.
2:09 Near: I bet Mello knew in his heart that without working together neither of us would be able to attain our goal and surpass our mentor L but together... Together we can stand with L... Together we can surpass L... ...and now acting as one we faced the Kira who defeated L and with solid evidence beat him at his own Game. Lets see you talk your way out of this one if you can.
@@sekstussekstus1075 if you mean light, he got outside info from aizawa.

Reason why Near wins- Because there wasn't Soichiro Yagami to convince Near that Light isn't Kira, if Soichiro didn't oppose L, the series would've ended in just 13 episodes
Don't you know SPK was not even in everyone's knowledge? Do you know how brutal Near is ? Near's manga part was cool. There was also a suspicion theory that Near keeps the death note for himself and use it to kill people who are old to make them relive from their pain .

Near was studying and working to be the successor of L. Of course it would only be natural that he was very similar to his teacher. However Near’s intellect surpassed his teacher L. The divide comes when Near is able to make quick calculations aggressively towards Light. L played too safe, Near realized that in some cases you have to go on the attack. Also it requires to think far ahead. L stood no chance against Kira. Like Near said: “If you can’t win the game, solve the puzzle, you’re just a loser.” This makes Near the winner. Like it or not Near was a better character than L.
The difference between L and Light is that, for all their talk about justice and ideals, Light was first and foremost on an ego trip. It was all about him getting his way. L had contingency plans in the case he died, as his justice was more important that his life to him. And that's why Near wins, because, as he himself puts it, he was standing on L and Mello's shoulders, on top of his actual work.
@Glixer Nope it was the perfect thing. In fact I don't like to see Near as someone else. I see him as part of L's plan. The greater plan. He and Mello were L's last attack. As Light always said L was always defensive unlike kira who would always go for the offense and defense. So, Mello's offensive nature also perfectly made sense which helped Near to finally finish L's masterplan.
L was on an ego trip too, he says as much in his own inner monologues. If justice was more important than his life than L would have sent his investigation data to Mello and Near instead of deleting it.
For myself i alway loved near, Then i read the manga and i realised that the main problem with Near is that the anime messed up the pacing and only gave him 10 episodes whereas is was in half of the manga and that meant he had more time to be fleshed out and more distinguished from L. Near wasn't the problem, the pacing of the show was
I felt like second part of Manga had too much inner monologue and dragged too long. Too much time on other things and not enough time on the main conflict between Near and Light.
I didn't realize so many people hated Near. I've only watched the anime but Mello and Near are some of my favorite characters. They caught Kira off guard after he got to relaxed a few years after L died
I recommend the manga if you can get it! Near and Mello actually had more to do there. One of my favorite parts was cut from the anime-- Mello calls Mogi on the phone, says "Why don't you meet me in New York?" and then calls Near, says "Now it's my turn to use you," and has Mogi walk into his headquarters, so that Near can question him while Mello listens. Light's inner monologue during the raid on Mello's hideout just going crazy because MELLO CAN'T BE PREDICTED is beautiful stuff. Light could usually match L *and* Near play for play, but Mello was the wild card.
I think that for the faithful followers of the death note The light theme, the L a b and c theme and the near a b and c theme are perfect for deducing or making personal decisions. I listen to them when I think about important things such as exams, for example.
Near: If the 13 rule fails to work then Light is infact Kira, this all started when he put himself in confiment to prove his innocence and since we know there are 2 notebooks, it sums up his plan overall. (This woulda been badass if he Said it with the music in the background)
@Tenshounen nah, he's stated before the only reason he succeeded was because of the combined methods of both Mello, L, the agency, and himself. also btw he is my favorite character either way
(SPOILER WARNING) 0:54 this reminds me when Near said that Mello's death was planned and they worked together. It gave me chills when I heard that. To say you're willing to die is something normal people (for valid reasons) aren't ready to do. The kids at Wammy House must be ready to say that they'll gonna die if it comes to. I just want to underline the fact how couraged Mello was. R.I.P edit: this comment is kinda edgy leave me alone
agree, i mean mello has a alot of wealth and position in world class mafia but still he cares about the case and helping Near. Remember Near had all the money from wammy's house and L's money, unlike Mello he live his life to became that such a high position
lol he didnt surpass L he just had a huge head start and at the time light had a gullible shinigami at his disposal and light had to use him, a literal god of death to beat L.
Honestly even tho Near and Mello did eventually outsmart Light, L was WAY more able. The only reason Near won is because Mikami and Light screwed up, while when he was fighting L, he was SUPER CAREFUL cuz he saw L as equal. Also Light didn't even outsmart L, he basically had to cheat to kill L, and he died knowing he was right. The moment L died, Light got cocky and didn't take anyone seriously. Also you know if Near and Mello started the investigation how long it would take just to find out where Kira lives. L found Kira incredibly quickly, like REALLY DAMN FAST, it didn't take two months for L to know exactly who Kira is. Plus L only found out about Death Note at the near end, while Near and Mello had 4 year head start with all the info they need
I watched the anime only and Near is still one of my favourites. People are way too upset over losing L and find it hard to see someone replacing L i guess. I find Near both cute, smart and hella composed.
@@zneah1137 Yes and no, in fact, in the anime near's deductions don't make sense, meanwhile in the manga you see the real mental proccess of near and you see why he is absolute brilliant
N: you fell into my plan. Kira: I expected your plan, so I had another plan in case you think I fell for your plan. N: mhm... I was hoping that my plan would be used to activate your other plan, so I planned something that you didn't expect so that you couldn't plan anything against my new plan. Kira: it can't be!!!
Suppose what would happen if light knew that gevanni was following migami, so he sent him another few pages of death note Near Would be in a grave right now ⚰💀
@@konodioda7755 L showed emotions at the end and also took as many risks as possible to catch light. Near is someone who plays safe all the time and lets people like Mello take the risks instead
@@achyuththouta6957 and that's why near won at the end. Or rather solved the puzzle/case. To him, if you can't solve the puzzle/win the game, you're a loser (which you are by definition)
I'm one of the few person who loved Near. I liked the difference between him and L. The way I see, L presents the full logical thinking and the absolute realistic worldview... I mean, he observes every inch, every part of all situation, which unnerved him, and he also had feelings. He was lonely and the overthinking and his friendly feelings towards Light caused his death. But Near... he hated Light. He truly hated him, and his first suspect was Light... and he didn't stop until he captured Kira. And he also didn't observe other situations. He went against Light with 300 km/h. Which I liked. It proves that sometimes the intitution is better than logic. I don't mean that Near has no logic. He has, and he is a genius as well. For me, he just like... "Yagami Light is Kira and nothing else matters". and L was like "What if... he would have done... he would do... 3/4/7% that he's Kira" so too hypothetical.
The brilliance of Near lies in the fact that, unlike L, he never massaged Kira's ego. He treated him like a crazy serial killer and the Death Note as a weapon of mass murder. Don't get me wrong - I love L more than anyone in Death Note, but you have to give credit to Near for being himself and solving the case
I feel like the composition is underrated and we as viewers dont even recognise the significance of each individually written compositions for each character and how beautifully fitting they are not to mention how smart the structure and sequence fo the melodies are written from A B C. This show is truly spectacular with not only its plot (except for the fact that they killed off L im not forgiving them for that aha) but truly well written the musical compositions are.
I actually prefer Near over L personally. L had a bit of an ego and some trust issues. He was also kind of disrespectful to both Aizawa and Matsuda. I kind of got the feeling that L like to flaunt his intelligence in front of people a bit and he also tortured both Misa and Light which is illegal and pretty fucked up to do especially in front of Light's Dad. He got way too personal with the case instead of being professional like he should've been and that was a big part of his downfall,that and he showed his face to Light way too early. Near never did any of these things. He looked at this as just another case and he stayed very professional and he had a much better team than L because of this. He enjoyed being right but I feel like he only like shoving it in Light's face because he didn't like him. I don't hate L just to be clear but I feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that he has some major flaws. Oh also L was willing to use the Death Note and become a murderer just to prove that Light is Kira. In the anime Near never did making him better than L which is why he became L's successor.
L put his life on the line by putting himself out there. If you watched the series L pretty much reasons that he has to meet Light up close so that he can further test Light. There's a reason he showed his face. Infact he basically cornered Light by showing his face and using an alias which is the name of a popular person. He knew Light wouldn't do it. Saying its ego is not only superficial reasoning, but you have to ignore the plot which explains his actions.
@@joseph906 I never said that was my reasoning behind why I thought he had an ego. It's implied in the show that both L and Light are very similar that's why I think that he has an ego. I know why he showed his face I just think that it was reckless and if had been more patient he would've found a way to corner Light without doing that.
@@mcbills9096 Its not really fair though. L had to be reckless because so much of Kira's methods were unknown. He didn't know about the Death Note and he didn't know about the Shinigami Eyes. Near had the luxury of being safe because L and Mello figured that out for him. Its hard to say what would have happened if L was more patient but I don't think he could have made the progress he made unless he was as direct as he was. Both Light and L put themselves in danger on purpose in order to get closer to the other.
@@GetterRay I suppose that's a fair point but he knew that Kira didn't need to be in the same room in order to kill someone. If L had sent out a decoy instead of himself and just monitor that decoy it would've been much safer because he could gather info about Kira without putting himself in so much danger. Not just himself either. His co-workers as well because he invited Light into the task force. You could argue that Light could figure out that L just sent a decoy but even Light himself said that even if it was a decoy he still couldn't kill him because he might as well be saying "I'm Kira." Light didn't intentionally put himself into danger he made one really bad mistake when he killed the decoy that L used on TV when Kira first had an encounter with L. If Light had stayed calm during that interaction he would've been fine.
@@mcbills9096 Light did intentionally put himself in danger and he outright tells this to the audience when Ryuk asks him why he killed the FBI agents. And a decoy wouldn't have worked, again read the actual internal monologues that L has. From the very beginning both of them were open with the fact that it was a battle of pride and ego. That's what separates Near from L, and Near would have died if there wasn't someone willing to put their life in danger to put pressure on Light. L needed to be present in person because putting pressure on Light is what let him get that far, a decoy wouldn't have stolen Misa's phone for example. Basically, you're misunderstanding the whole nature of Light and L's game. It isn't about getting away with murder or catching a killer. Its about showing who's best.
I like how on that shot N looks a LOT like L. They share the same expression, L knew that someday N would be a better successor to his legacy than Mello, though they were both good.
The best quality of Near is that he calculates a lot before action and doesn't want any feud within his circle showing who is boss . He always wanted to work with Melo.
Near is much more practical in his approach and does not let personal preferences govern his decisions as much as L did. Also unlike Light, Near's sense of justice and ideals are way more pragmatic and realistic(and he seems to stick to those), although he takes up cases which he finds interesting to solve. And yes Near has emotions. In the one shot that serves as a sequel for the original story, Near clearly has a strong admiration for L which is evident from him making structures of the letter 'L' using tarot cards .
I think we need to seperate Near as L successor and Near as himself. Near as himself as you see not as sentimental as L, but when he took L position's he need to make decision on how would L took initiative.
I love both L and near Near is cute and smart has respect for L even though he said something disrespectful about him his theme is amazing in the manga hes so amazing and L I love him because of his habits being similar to mine and hes adorable and smart I believe he's the smartest character in the series and no one can change my mind
Death Note drama's L is simply have the wits. Light is just simply too overwhelmed on what going to happen. L is just simply finishing it too quickly. Lack of Traps, and too noisy (saying what's in his mind) as like Kira. No wonder Near won because he learned from L's mistakes too.
I think the circumstances when L fought Kira was slightly different than when Near encountered him. L had decision to have a close encounter to Kira so it's kinda hard to not reveal everything. In opposite, Near was keeping his distance with his suspect so he's not revealing any information
I think in the later parts, with the emergence of Near and Mello, Kira had lost his edge in formulating strategies. He simply overlooked so many things and took steps he could've honestly done without.
@@Nanu67-e9j he didn't use the same underhanded tactics as L. that's where mello came in and how they were able to succeed in gaining hard evidence. they knew they could never live up to light, so by working together they finished the case in L's stead.
@@minariimoon its pointless. Shinigami are not humans. So even if he created the ideal world by killing bad people as shinigami..he cant live in it. Light wanted to be a god. Not a shinigami who most people wont even care about its existence.
everyone is hating on Near and Mello for replacing L while there's me loving all three (mello, near and L!) why compare the three when you can appreciate them all lol in their own way they all managed to bring Light down
L created the Path and Near solved the case. So really, L did the heavy lifting and Near used his Legacy to finish this off. You are meant to be unsure if you want Kira or Near to win, but at the end, you kinda feel sorry for light. Never got a chance to achieve his dream. ... but the more you sit on it, you grow to understand Near's side and what L left him to do... Honestly Morals would state that you should want Near to win... but we don't need to always take things seriously, so i choose to root for Kira.
Although a simple question, I always wondered if when writing down someones name you can just write "dies peacefully in their sleep" when specifying someones death.

yep, the best theme to the best character. Near reallly was a badass autist genius.

N: you fell into my plan.
Kira: I expected your plan, so I had another plan in case you think I fell for your plan.
N: mhm... I was hoping that my plan would be used to activate your other plan, so I planned something that you didn't expect so that you couldn't plan anything against my new plan.
Kira: it can't be!!!
How many word "plan" In this comment
This comment: Y E S
Ive outsmarted your outsmarting
Well near fell for light's plan at first but soon realised after mello teamed up with him and mikami wrote takada's name
Suppose what would happen if light knew that gevanni was following migami, so he sent him another few pages of death note
Near Would be in a grave right now ⚰💀
YOU FELL FOR IT, FOOL !
THUNDERSPLIT CROSS ATTACK
No one can be like near emotionless and still so efficient. GOD DAMM IT
He did show emotion when he exposed light.
I mean l is the same thing
@@konodioda7755 L showed emotions at the end and also took as many risks as possible to catch light. Near is someone who plays safe all the time and lets people like Mello take the risks instead
@@achyuththouta6957 i mean L took risks cause he wanted to solve the case not because he had emotions
@@achyuththouta6957 and that's why near won at the end. Or rather solved the puzzle/case. To him, if you can't solve the puzzle/win the game, you're a loser (which you are by definition)
I'm one of the few person who loved Near. I liked the difference between him and L. The way I see, L presents the full logical thinking and the absolute realistic worldview... I mean, he observes every inch, every part of all situation, which unnerved him, and he also had feelings. He was lonely and the overthinking and his friendly feelings towards Light caused his death. But Near... he hated Light. He truly hated him, and his first suspect was Light... and he didn't stop until he captured Kira. And he also didn't observe other situations. He went against Light with 300 km/h. Which I liked. It proves that sometimes the intitution is better than logic. I don't mean that Near has no logic. He has, and he is a genius as well. For me, he just like... "Yagami Light is Kira and nothing else matters". and L was like "What if... he would have done... he would do... 3/4/7% that he's Kira" so too hypothetical.
Completely agreed very good point
I agree and also I think mello is the "what if part" of L
The brilliance of Near lies in the fact that, unlike L, he never massaged Kira's ego. He treated him like a crazy serial killer and the Death Note as a weapon of mass murder. Don't get me wrong - I love L more than anyone in Death Note, but you have to give credit to Near for being himself and solving the case
Matsuda whole anime: Best i can do is fuck up everything
Matsuda last ep: i am going to end this man whole life
Say what you will about Near. Doesn't change how good his theme is!!
My favourite quote from Near is: if it's wrong then just say sorry.
cold, direct, keep everything simple.
masterpiece
A good hentai
N's theme is good but not masterpiece... L's theme is masterpiece
I used to hear this in my head when i was solving the kira case - near 2020

oh man Near.
L is my most favourite character. He not only knew light is kira but also gave light chance to show a bit humanity the hour before he died.
I feel like the composition is underrated and we as viewers dont even recognise the significance of each individually written compositions for each character and how beautifully fitting they are not to mention how smart the structure and sequence fo the melodies are written from A B C. This show is truly spectacular with not only its plot (except for the fact that they killed off L im not forgiving them for that aha) but truly well written the musical compositions are.
Theme B sounds badass.
Sounds so powerful
(RYUZAKI)L was the life of this series . I thought all will be boring & worse but then NEAR AND MELLO SHOWED UP .
I actually prefer Near over L personally. L had a bit of an ego and some trust issues. He was also kind of disrespectful to both Aizawa and Matsuda. I kind of got the feeling that L like to flaunt his intelligence in front of people a bit and he also tortured both Misa and Light which is illegal and pretty fucked up to do especially in front of Light's Dad. He got way too personal with the case instead of being professional like he should've been and that was a big part of his downfall,that and he showed his face to Light way too early. Near never did any of these things. He looked at this as just another case and he stayed very professional and he had a much better team than L because of this. He enjoyed being right but I feel like he only like shoving it in Light's face because he didn't like him. I don't hate L just to be clear but I feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that he has some major flaws. Oh also L was willing to use the Death Note and become a murderer just to prove that Light is Kira. In the anime Near never did making him better than L which is why he became L's successor.
L put his life on the line by putting himself out there. If you watched the series L pretty much reasons that he has to meet Light up close so that he can further test Light. There's a reason he showed his face. Infact he basically cornered Light by showing his face and using an alias which is the name of a popular person. He knew Light wouldn't do it.
Saying its ego is not only superficial reasoning, but you have to ignore the plot which explains his actions.
@@joseph906 I never said that was my reasoning behind why I thought he had an ego. It's implied in the show that both L and Light are very similar that's why I think that he has an ego. I know why he showed his face I just think that it was reckless and if had been more patient he would've found a way to corner Light without doing that.
@@mcbills9096 Its not really fair though. L had to be reckless because so much of Kira's methods were unknown. He didn't know about the Death Note and he didn't know about the Shinigami Eyes. Near had the luxury of being safe because L and Mello figured that out for him. Its hard to say what would have happened if L was more patient but I don't think he could have made the progress he made unless he was as direct as he was. Both Light and L put themselves in danger on purpose in order to get closer to the other.
@@GetterRay I suppose that's a fair point but he knew that Kira didn't need to be in the same room in order to kill someone. If L had sent out a decoy instead of himself and just monitor that decoy it would've been much safer because he could gather info about Kira without putting himself in so much danger. Not just himself either. His co-workers as well because he invited Light into the task force. You could argue that Light could figure out that L just sent a decoy but even Light himself said that even if it was a decoy he still couldn't kill him because he might as well be saying "I'm Kira." Light didn't intentionally put himself into danger he made one really bad mistake when he killed the decoy that L used on TV when Kira first had an encounter with L. If Light had stayed calm during that interaction he would've been fine.
@@mcbills9096 Light did intentionally put himself in danger and he outright tells this to the audience when Ryuk asks him why he killed the FBI agents. And a decoy wouldn't have worked, again read the actual internal monologues that L has. From the very beginning both of them were open with the fact that it was a battle of pride and ego. That's what separates Near from L, and Near would have died if there wasn't someone willing to put their life in danger to put pressure on Light. L needed to be present in person because putting pressure on Light is what let him get that far, a decoy wouldn't have stolen Misa's phone for example.
Basically, you're misunderstanding the whole nature of Light and L's game. It isn't about getting away with murder or catching a killer. Its about showing who's best.
I like how on that shot N looks a LOT like L. They share the same expression, L knew that someday N would be a better successor to his legacy than Mello, though they were both good.
i studied for my exam with this music on and when it came to taking my exams all i could think of were these tunes
"Kira, you lose the game."
- Near
This sentence is the end of death note.😈😈
More likely
"Light yagami, L, Kira
It's over you've lost the game"
-Near, N, L

Hello fellow anime watcher
@@GorgeousHotRat Are you lost again?
@@D4rk_Leo yes ryuzaki
love him and his theme ♡
This sound gives me such nostalgia
The best quality of Near is that he calculates a lot before action and doesn't want any feud within his circle showing who is boss . He always wanted to work with Melo.
Very true. He doesn't let emotions get in the way at all, he is focused entirely on the best way to get the job done.
Yeah, but I still prefer L.
Near is much more practical in his approach and does not let personal preferences govern his decisions as much as L did. Also unlike Light, Near's sense of justice and ideals are way more pragmatic and realistic(and he seems to stick to those), although he takes up cases which he finds interesting to solve. And yes Near has emotions. In the one shot that serves as a sequel for the original story, Near clearly has a strong admiration for L which is evident from him making structures of the letter 'L' using tarot cards .
No L is better
I think we need to seperate Near as L successor and Near as himself. Near as himself as you see not as sentimental as L, but when he took L position's he need to make decision on how would L took initiative.
@@syahrinsaifi1 i think the fact he is carrying on L's legacy is enough proof he respects him
Gave me chills when it first played. 🔥🔥💯🥶
I love both L and near
Near is cute and smart has respect for L even though he said something disrespectful about him his theme is amazing in the manga hes so amazing and L I love him because of his habits being similar to mine and hes adorable and smart I believe he's the smartest character in the series and no one can change my mind
Eu lembro quando o Near se apresenta pro Kira pelo telefone com o tema da música 'A' , me arrepiei todinho. -_-
Foda D+!
Vdd foda d + eu vi denovo hoje
Sim mano kkki
Death Note drama's L is simply have the wits. Light is just simply too overwhelmed on what going to happen. L is just simply finishing it too quickly. Lack of Traps, and too noisy (saying what's in his mind) as like Kira.
No wonder Near won because he learned from L's mistakes too.
I think the circumstances when L fought Kira was slightly different than when Near encountered him. L had decision to have a close encounter to Kira so it's kinda hard to not reveal everything. In opposite, Near was keeping his distance with his suspect so he's not revealing any information
Ces OST sont juste une masterclass y’a rien a dire
You may or may not like the character,but you gotta admit,the themes are awesome
I think in the later parts, with the emergence of Near and Mello, Kira had lost his edge in formulating strategies. He simply overlooked so many things and took steps he could've honestly done without.
Ik deep inside that N was literally just a smaller L but idk what it is... Just something abt the character makes me appreciate him a lot
L was the reason I Watched the whole series.
bruh, if i had a theme as banging as Near's, i'd probably dance to it all the time instead of solving the Kira case

I love near and L equally
@@Nanu67-e9j he didn't use the same underhanded tactics as L. that's where mello came in and how they were able to succeed in gaining hard evidence.
they knew they could never live up to light, so by working together they finished the case in L's stead.
I love him
The END is NEAR!!!!💥

L is better then N

Near's name is near victory.
@Just Somebody I mean Light got reincarnated as a shinigami and he can kill near right? 👁👄👁
@@minariimoon its pointless.
Shinigami are not humans. So even if he created the ideal world by killing bad people as shinigami..he cant live in it.
Light wanted to be a god. Not a shinigami who most people wont even care about its existence.
Near true name is Nate River
Near is my favourite character in Death note along with L and Ryuk. I know L came first, but the hate on Near is unjust. Personally I love him a lot
these themes are making me want to rewatch this show for the 3rd time (I think I've never watched any other show more than once in my life fr😭😭💯)
Just imagine hardworking at 3am with this music
Still listening
Still one of my favorite anime 🖤
everyone is hating on Near and Mello for replacing L while there's me loving all three (mello, near and L!) why compare the three when you can appreciate them all lol in their own way they all managed to bring Light down
I always come back to listen to Near theme A
Ok but his A theme is a whole vibe 😍

L created the Path and Near solved the case. So really, L did the heavy lifting and Near used his Legacy to finish this off.
You are meant to be unsure if you want Kira or Near to win, but at the end, you kinda feel sorry for light. Never got a chance to achieve his dream. ... but the more you sit on it, you grow to understand Near's side and what L left him to do... Honestly Morals would state that you should want Near to win... but we don't need to always take things seriously, so i choose to root for Kira.
Yo N and L need to speed up ther game i knew light was kira since EP1

Although a simple question, I always wondered if when writing down someones name you can just write "dies peacefully in their sleep" when specifying someones death.
you could do that if you had a death note
Deathnotes animation may not be the best but the storyline and constant mind games are very satisfying and thrilling
Reason why Near wins because he never shows his emotions to light unlike L
Well near never meet light in person until the end of the show
@@Nanu67-e9j actually he doesn’t care about anything
