    Default Mello is better than L.

    My brother went to an anime convention and there were so many cosplayers dressed as L that they outnumbered everyone else like 3 to 1.

    I know a bunch of fangirls are probably going to hunt me down and kill me for this (so I better find a place to hide) but L just isn't that inspiring of a character for me. I prefer Mello. He has alot more personality.

    anti-villains (L, Scar,...) and anti-heroes (don't get me started on this) are usually better written than heroes and villains, simply because they are not as simple as "good guys & bad guys". that's what makes mello so special; he is the best written villain in the series.
    what people usually fail to see is that mello actually took least time to figure out that light is in fact kira, but he failed to capture him because he once again got "too emotional", which could lead many viewers to think that his intelligence was inferior to near's. however, even if they miss this, there's a chocolate in his hand which is a proof of his intelligence (since it was already mentioned that L eats so much because his brain uses up all the calories).
    i admit, L is what got me hooked to the series, but mello is so brilliant that i really don't know which one i like better. i always thought of near as L's mini-me, but mello is much more than that.

    Yes it didn't take him that long the figure out that Light is Kira but L lasted long then Mello. So in a way I see L as better.

    Mello takes chances himself and thats good. However L didn't take all to many. He had Kira in his hands and let it slip away. God that makes me mad.

    Light is now a villain in my book.

    You don't like L's clothes? I think baggy clothes are HAWT. xD

    I like L better, personally. He doesn't scare me as much as Mello.
    [Yes. I am an L fangirl. xD]

    Yes. Yes they do. And Mello's do, also. But at first sight it seems like he's a metal head. lol.
    Sorry. Offtopic.

    Anyway

    I also kinda like L's habit of eating sweets more than Mello's habit of eating chocolate. Seeing him eat all of that chocolate makes me feel a bit nauseous. I couldn't handle all of that chocolate. But eating different types of sweets, I could do.

    This I must admit Mello has so much more past and more personality witch sadly we never got with L. I think in that factor Mello must beat everyone. But I still like L more. I would like to see a really good consplay of Mello with his scar and everything rather then 101 L consplays. >.>;;;

    I don't think Mello is better than L.
    But in
     
    the end Near says that Mello helped by writing Takada's name in the Death Note.

    Something along those lines. This makes it seem like Mello is better but after all he wasn't careful enough to
     
    prevent Yagami-san from seeing his face to know his name.
    He didn't think about that.

    Let me quote Near...
     
    Together we can surpass L...

    As the person above me just stated from Near. TOGETHER. L only needed more time. He had Light caught with the 13 day rule. It is my belief that L planned to use the 13 day rule from the very beginning. To try it on a dummy. Not Light's father. So if he had made it he would have had Light for sure. GO L.

    I still don't understand why his father couldn't make the connection. He couldn't see Light's death date right. However that would go for all of them because they all touched it.

    However this is a spoiler.

    I think that Light is cutting his own life short in the end. I know what happens but still I want to know the very moment that his life span numbers changed. As the death note states. One can shorten their own life span. In that way Light should die. I hope he does.

    Also this is not a spoiler but what do you think happened when Ryuk looked at Ray Penburs wife and started laughing. Was it because he life span numbers changed the moment she truely gave Light her FULL trust.

    I beg to differ and I am not a female. L played a huge role in the entire anime, more than half the entire series to be exact. Its even said in the anime by N that neither him nor Mello compare to L as individuals, however as a collective they are just as witty. I enjoyed L's role in the anime. Through clever tactics, he was able to narrow things down. He had a cool personality which I'd say was cautious yet laid back despite having no friends and being deceited by Light. The way he always likes eating sweets if funny. I'd say hes a well balanced character in the series and influenced it greatly.

    It seems easier to relate to Mello since he wears his emotions on his sleeve, but I prefer L. In the beginning, no one knew if Kira even existed or if the deaths were indeed murders, though many suspected it. Also, Kira could have been anywhere in the world as far as Interpol knew.

    In one fell swoop, L proved that Kira did exist, that the deaths were murders, that Kira couldn't kill without a name and a face, and that he was in Japan, all in the closing moments of the second episode. That greatly narrowed down the Kira investigation, and it was entirely L's doing. Even though Mello is easier to relate to (he appears more human), I hold L in much higher esteem.

    Well every person likely defers when it comes to taste and opinions. But Death Note was already finished almost 2years ago(?) Near in behalf of Mello admitted that L is better than anyone of them and if they were to work as one they could possible surpass L. Besides Mello played a small role in the series and I dont like him that much especially with his homegrown hairdo; I believe his bad-*** attitude and the scar he got merely created his own stand from others.

    His dad could see his lifespan, which is why he "knew" his son wasn't Kira. Remember, you can only see the lifespan of people who aren't in possession of a Death Note, and since Light had recently given up ownership of it to fool his dying dad(BTW, I hate Light with a passion. ), he could see his lifespan and thus, confirmed it to himself that his son wasn't Kira.

    Anyway, L was always my favorite character in Death Note, and although Near claims that together he and Mello can surpass L, it's probably my own ignorance, but for some reason I don't think that's entirely true. The main reason that L died was because he showed his face to Light early on in the series. If he hadn't made that sacrifice, not only would have he been able to gain more info on Light, but Near would have never acquired the information that he needed to work with Mello and bring the case to a close.

    I still feel that if L had never shown his face to Light, what, maybe sent in a fake like Light had suspected, L would have surely taken down Light before Near and Mello had the chance. But hell, who knows?

    You got it. L's risky move to get close to Light led him to make Light the "prime suspect" in the Kira Investigation, right before Light was incarcerated along with Misa. However, I do believe Near and Mello surpassed L, but this doesn't take away anything from L. Near called L his "mentor," and his name (River) implies a flowing down of brilliance from that mentor. I don't think a proxy would've been good enough to get the job done for L. L's actions proved the first Kira task force wrong when they accused L of just sitting still, not showing his face to Kira, and being safe from harm.

    I believe the order of brilliance would break down like this: 1)L. 2)Near. 3)Light. 4)Mello. Two and three are really close, however. I do apologize, Mello fans.

    do i have to remind you that this topic is about mello being a better character, not about him being smarter. and before you say that light is smarter than mello, consider this: he started off with much more knowledge than L and his successors and he wasn't the one who had to see through someone's plans (which is the most difficult part of any detective's job). and, as i said and explained above, mello's reasoning abilities are comparable to near's, so your order of brilliance is very, very wrong.. but don't feel bad, at least you got the first one right

    Uh, no offense, but the entire series got boring after L was killed off, and those two retarded kids came in to replace him. I didn't even bother watching most of it because I could just wiki it and be more entertained.

    L was much more useful to the series than the both of them were put together. If they had killed L later in the series, it might have ACTUALLY been good.
    On this day of days, most epic and prideful, you were born 15 whole American years ago!
    Through the odds and by doing the impossible, you beat out hundreds of thousands of siblings in the great sperm race for the coveted egg.
    Probably via hax.
    Regardless! You won!
    So remember, whenever someone picks on you or calls you weak or small.
    Just remind them that you beat out a few hundred thousand other wimps.

    And the grand prize was not dying!

    Intelligence is a huge part of someone's personality, and that has a lot to do with this topic. (After all, wouldn't Mello just be an over-emotional character without his intelligence?) You are right, I had a hard time placing Light before Mello, but Light's plans did come full circle pretty often. Also, he got a perfect score, along with L, on his college entry exam (though it could be argued that Mello, given the chance, could've done the same thing). So, on that point, I give it to you and concede.

    Seeing an emotional Mello wasn't as exciting as seeing a cool, calm, and collected L and Near take Light to task, but, as I said in an earlier post, Mello is the easiest to identify with because of this.

    Yeah, and the fact that you probably won't have to style your hair too much after waking up. L's a pretty comfortable character, now that I think about it.

    i disagree. they found the right moment to kill L, just as he started getting boring and predictable. the real reason why some fans stopped watching after this is not mello and near, but the fact that the next two episodes are the most boring episodes in the series. they really should have merged them or something.

    Simply put it,
    L was an eccentric yet awesome guy.
    Mello and Near, make me bored and cry.

    I suggest to read this if you are interested wht says the creater about Mello...-->http://http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Mello



    I agree that Mello is in some way better than L and much much much better than Near... L, Light and Near are just tipical prodigy childs and in some way could guess wht way of life they would choose...
    for example, if L would live Light's lifestyle (before deathnote), go to normal school, live in house with parents etc. and just have a boring life and then one day he gets deathnote... i'm 50% sure that he would use the note and it's not important for wht reasons... and it would be very possible than Light would be L because Light thought of being a detective until the day deathnote came... and something similar goes for Near [?!]... but Mello is different.. You have no idea wht will Mello think next and wht he will do... in my opion he is so different from them.... and that puts him in a different league.
    I hope it wasn't too boring and that you got wht i'm saying... oh and sorry for grammer mistakes, it's just not my thing

    We must never shed tears.
    That is the life form's defeat
    and if we give in to the emotions
    then it only becomes proof
    of our inability to control it.
