i mentioned it in tags before but im still rotating it in my brain so. I think it’s really cool that L’s successors kind of embody the three categories of people that Light wants to rid the world of once and for all. There’s the morally ‘evil’ who commit crime (Mello), ‘lazy’ people who waste their talents not helping society (Matt), and any people who try to stop him from achieving his goal (Near). Theyre quite literally the personification three people he could possibly end up hating the most
