Mello... (tiny little spoiler)


Anybody else hacked off that Mello hasn't made it into the live-action movies? Neither has Matt. It annoys me quite a bit.

Also, Near's British in the manga. It's kind of bugging me that they made him Thai.

So who should play Mello if he ever gets to go on the big screen?

... Heheh, maybe Mello's plannng his own movie in top-secret and he wants it to be WAY better than Near's.

God i dont understand peoples obsession with matt seriously he has only like one or two lines? not even that big of a charecter except mellos friend or partner i donno.

Matt's one of the few characters who's not a super-jerk, and he nobly sacrifices his life to help Mello. That makes him important, even if he's not a main character. He is a big deal, and he's likeable too.

I personally am glad Mello and Near were axed; both were overdone, annoying, and overall weak rehashes of their predecessor. In fact, that pretty much sums up the entire 2nd arc of the anime.

Technically, yeah, but even most Near fans barely count his "cameo" here, it's such a far cry from his role in the anime.

They should make a film of the BB murder cases. Mello was the narrator for that story even though he didn't take part. It could show him in the truck explaining some parts of it. Stuff like the Shinigami eyes that B had could be Mello explaining.

that would be so cool

Light Yagami and L are married!

Uhm...Near cracked the professor's code and provided basis to synthesize an antidote. Even if he barely spoke and was raelly little, he played a BIG part, and for his fans, there are definite hints to his character and his potential (Which we know, is almost on par with L himself). I also liked that L gave him his first toy. (We all know Near loves toys as much as L loves sweets).
I would have liked him playing with hair but that's a minor nitpicck, and as it is, i liked how they included him.

who are Matt and Mello??

Champ25,

(This contains spoilers for the manga and anime!!!)

If you haven't read or seen the Manga, then you obviously wouldn't know who Matt and Mello are (even Near for that matter.) Mello was second in line to succeed L, and when L died, he hadn't officially chosen a true successor. So, it was suggested that Mello and Near work together, but Mello detested Near and let him succeed L. Mello, wanting to prove that he was better than Near, went out and joined the Mafia to catch Kira himself. I won't spoil any details for you if you plan on reading the manga or watching the anime. Matt was third in line to succeed L, and was Mello's best friend. Like Near's obsessions with toys and twirling his hair, and Mello's obsession with chocolate, it was made clear that Matt loved video games. He was probably the only one out of the three original successors who wasn't anything like L. He didn't have a big role in the anime or manga, but he's very popular with the fans for his looks and commitment to Mello, and he was killed quite brutally. So, in the end, Near was the one to expose Light as Kira, and he and Mello ended up working together (though Mello died while kidnapping Kira's spokesperson, it helped Near in the investigation).

I hope that helps with not only you, but anybody else who was clueless as to who Matt and Mello are.
