Obviously, characters were written to do what they did. That said, Mikami could have prevented any problems. At the point Light ordered him to create a fake book as well as sending Takada 5 pages from the real one. While he was still 100% sure in possession of the real, he could have simply removed 1 additional page and hidden it in his wallet or someplace always on him basically. Then regardless of how things play out, bring that torn page to the Yellow Box warehouse yes?

Interesting perspective. I always just assumed it was because he thought since he is going to die anyway. In the OVA, when L is talking about monsters who "eat although they never experienced hunger" you see Mello eating. So i assumed Mello never ate the chocolate because he was hungry, but because it helped him think( like L with his wierd sitting position) but by the end he doesn't need it anymore. The plan is already in place, he knows what he has to do and he is about to die no matter what.

If you view the Kira investigation of a puzzle with the pieces hidden, then it'd be fair to say that Mello is a master at finding the pieces but incompetent at assembling them, while Near is a master at putting them together but is unwilling to/incompentent in find them. L would be proficient in both. If Near and Mello worked separately, they'd lose to L every time, but together, they could do just as well or even better than L. They needed each other to ever be truly great.

Mello talking with Halle might have known this and took advantage of it since all it took was one slip up for Light to lose. His kidnapping of Takada was unexpected to light but both light and Mikami had the same idea but were uncoordinated thus sealing their fates. Mello was the big player here and the wild card.

He is so underrated. I wish they exploited his character more. But then I remember even the creators said they wrote themselves into a corner by creating someone that was so effective due not only being smart but also goal oriented, hard worker and with mad social skills. They said they had him committing mistakes because otherwise he would have solved the case too easily. Mello was street smart also, which Light who was an arrogant academic was not. So, it was obvious that he would pull tricks on him that would corner him, besides, it would have been perfect if he was the one to catch him due to being the exact person Light despised and taking a criminal to catch another one, philosophically it would have opened another interpretation of the series. At the same time Mello showed the nastiest traits about Light when he got him ticked. To Light it was more important killing him than losing his father. He became his most despicable version whenever Mello cornered him, which at least is quite interesting. To me, he was the best of all of them. I don't know IQ wise, but definitely had traits others could not withstand.

You forgot to acknowledge that Mello shares how emotional L can be, whereas Near shares how indifferent he can be. They are just L but at the extremes one way or the other way. Both would do anything to get the job done, as L would, but Mello possessed L’s willpower to the extreme to the point that he would surround himself with criminals whereas L used some criminals but still sided with law enforcement (just as Near sides completely with the FBI and CIA). They also lack L’s Achille’s heel with being addicted to the investigation. For L, it was a game of cat and mouse that he wanted to drag out. Many times he could have ended the investigation easily, sparing lives. The one that annoys me most is when he doesn’t arrest Light after informing him that Misa was arrested, only to arrest him after Light ASKED to be imprisoned. He said it himself that he expected the murders to continue, suggesting he wanted Light to disprove himself as Kira despite being Kira, likely to prolong the the game. Mello was arrogant and prideful. Childish, some would say. L was very much childish, admittedly so, and it became his own undoing. Had it not been for the new rules that kept popping up regarding the Death Note and those who possess it-which were clearly a way of the writer escaping the corner he kept writing himself into-L would have won quick and easy. Even without the conveniences, if he weren’t so addicted to the chase, he would have won sooner. Neither Mello nor Near cared for the game. It was a challenge and nothing more. The pleasure came from solving it, not from playing it. They would find the quickest way to beat you at chess, whereas L would toy with you in hopes that you put up a challenge for an intense, and drawn out game. I’m not sure if either could have succeeded alone without the other. It’s possible Near could have managed, but Mello helped him to not only be an equal to L, but surpass L.

This shows a few things: 1. Mello was so underrated and was instrumental in taking down Light, making the sacrifice play just like L did in dying for this case. He was never afraid to pull out all the stops to bring down Light and even found a way to kidnap Light's sister while also figuring out how the Death Note works and realizing one of the rules was a fake. 2. Light is very underrated and why I say that is many people call him sloppy, he had the death note as an advantage and he was being too cocky for his own good but while part of that is true, the same can be said for how much of a beast Light was, having eliminated L, the world's greatest detective who had a task force of people, a lot of recources and the experience to read many criminals, Mello, a character that put out all the stops to bring Kira to justice and finds out a ton about the Death Note and how it works, and nearly beat Near, the successor to L with more resources, turned the task force against Light, got him cornered and everything and still barely won due to Light's cocky attitude. I must say even though he had the Death Note at his disposal, Ryuk even states himself that he has never seen a human use it like Light did, coming up with very creative solutions for problems and outsmarting alot of people along the way. 3.It sucks that L died so early, it wasn't the same when he died but I am still happy to see the conclusion, I didn't want Light to win and have his new world crap.

I find it so hard to believe that Near never considered the possibility of a fake notebook. They saw Mikami killing in public multiple times and each time he had to take a picture and send that and the criminal's name to Takada, who had to be available 24/7 or else the timing would be off. Only after sending the picture did he write their name down and I can't believe an amazing agent like Gevanni wouldn't notice him taking pictures of the people who all died soon after. And if he noticed, he'd report it to Near who'd figure out the notebook is fake in about 0.000001 seconds because at that point anyone could've figured that out immediately. Even if Gevanni somehow didn't notice Mikami taking pictures, Near is smart, he wouldn't be as careless to not consider this possibility. Especially with Mikami not being cautious at all and just killing out in the open, and talking to himself about the shinigami. There's no way Near wouldn't notice that something is off, even if he didn't know about the pictures. The one thing Mello helped with was revealing the location of the real notebook, but it just feel so out of character for Near to overlook something like this, that always bothered me about that part of the story.

I feel like nobody understands what mello truly represents in the story. The other 3 main characters are obsessed with doing things in the name of justice while Mello is the only one who doesnt try to justify his actions as morally correct or "justice" they are simply his actions towards what he wants and if you stand in the way you die. I personally always had more respect for that for some reason. That was the most raw and most human to me. Everyone is corrupt to a degree so who's really in the right? People like mello will always stand in the face of any dictatorship, a part of human nature that does not conform to anyone else's rules, a part of human nature that stands directly in the way of any potential uprising of control by a single entity.

He’s wasn’t wrong though, Near would have straight up died had Mello not interfered and had Mikami not slipped up, Near had no back up plan prior and would have led them all to death really.

I always wondered for the final battle, you wouldn't test the death note when you know fakes are in play? Then you could have Giovanni see that, and watch Near have to break his code of "winning without anyone dying", becoming like Mello to win as they ensure whatever name Mikimi wrote down - that person died, by their hands. L would be willing to do that.

here’s your answer, we don’t know first let’s get that he knew he was going to die out of the way, in short he didn’t he had a plan and that’s for sure, when he said “i think it’s time” or whatever then he was referring to that plan he then took her to a church where he was killed in short he lost, it was a mistake but near was able to use this and find out about the fake deathnote but there’s been things hinting that he knew he was going to die, but it wasn’t because he thought there was a fake notebook it was just a risky mission he set for himself, and that is because he knows that kira is in the investigation team and they know his real name due to light’s dad saying it out loud so after knowing that and capturing someone who has been meeting with light under surveillance with audio stuff which he knows because of the lady leaking info to mello, the very act of kidnapping her was risky and he ended up dying because of it but this is also a direct reference to L, near and mello are meant to be half’s of L near is calm and stacks things while thinking, and mello eats sweets and takes risks and initiative, which L also does when he shows his face, L said numerous times he’s putting his life on the line for some evidence and that’s exactly what mello did, and funny enough it got them both killed so all in all, he took a risk for a mission we didn’t have the time to see because he ended up dying before he was able to do anything

100% because Near is omniscient and knew everything Light was doing with little to no evidence. "I think there are two Kira's. The first Kira would probably contact someone inconspicuous to be the next Kira. A public speaker of some sort. It's probably that one. Lets go raid his locker." Like wtf? That kind of thing would never happen. That's conspiracy theory to the max. And this kind of thing happened consistently.

Actually, Mello is super popular along with Matt despite having a short time in the series. Only thing is, fans debate about his intelligence. Also, I wouldn't say Mello sacrificed his life. It's more like he took a risk. In the anime and manga, all of us get to hear the thoughts of L's and Light's and we get a clear picture of how intelligent these two are. With Near and Mello, we don't get that much and it's ambiguous to know how intelligent these two are. With Near, we get the feeling that the writers deliberately avoided revealing most of his thoughts to create a suspense for the readers so that they'll be surprised when Light gets caught and defeated. With Mello, we don't know how much he learned from his own investigation and from speaking to Halle on phone. Which prevents us to consider that his intelligence is on par with Light or L. We don't know the exact conversation they had together. How much did Halle revealed to Mello about what Near had said? Did Mello get the idea to kidnap Kiyomi Takada from hearing something Halle told him? Something that Near told her? Mello is clever, observant and smart but the problem with him is he has been shown to be reckless and short-tempered. His recklessness has its merits though because it makes him unpredictable which ultimately helped solve the Kira case. However, his short-temper may have prevented him from forming friends. It would have helped him if he had more people to help. Then again it was hard to find anyone who was brave enough to go against Kira. One thing I learned from Death Note is that solving a case as complex as this requires more than intelligence. It requires being prudent, observant, brave, risk-taking, loyal and steadfast. Good team work and having a sense of justice helped too. Mello deserves the credit for his bravery for taking the risk to kidnap Kiyomi so as to provoke Mikami and Kira to write her name on the death note and gain the proof. Though he's clever we can't say if he's as intelligent as L or Light. Like Near said, in the end the two together were able to solve the Kira case.

The majority of the show was Light vs L. L knew Light was Kira, but it was impossible for him to prove it. Light made small mistakes, but it wasn't enough for him to prove Light was Kira. A sacrifice was needed, but another person who was on the same level of IQ as L was needed to continue the investigation. Sadly, there was no one to do that when L died. Near and Mello was a different case. Mello served as the sacrifice, Near was the person who carried out the investigation. Although, it was a big gamble as Mello didn't know about the fake and real death note. Mello was definitely smarter. Near got clues out of nowhere. It took him a day to find out the 2nd L was Kira. Mello was a better successor, was prepared to sacrifice and was a better character overall

What I love is that the show makes Mello a necessary component to closing the case. Near had uncompromising principles that would prevent him from killing anyone. But Mello knew that Kira had to be put in a position where it was necessary to kill someone immediately in order to reveal the location of the real death note. Something that Near would never agree to. But Mello is willing to sacrifice morals to attain information that Near could use. Without Mello, Near would've died in that warehouse.

And even then they just barely managed to win. Light could have easily thrown it all to the wind if he just had Mikami hold on to one last page for the final showdown, but he was so caught up in his feud with L that he refused to believe that anyone else would catch onto the fake notebook scheme. If L was still alive Light would have assumed "okay maybe he figured out the fake notebook thing" and kept a spare page for Mikami to use just in case.

I really didn't view Near and Mello working together because they explicitly said that they weren't but this video made me realise that they actually were the entire time. Mello basically did the active plays which forced Kira/Light to make responses. And Near just put those moves together and deduced Light was the guy. Although, it's somewhat dissatisfying that Light only lost because his follower didn't follow his orders perfectly.
