Near's Biggest Mistake Wasn't Against Light... It Was Against Mikami

People always say that Near won because he was smarter than Light, but in reality he won because Mikami made one single mistake. And that makes me think: what if Mikami had been as perfect as Light expected him to be?

Imagine if Mikami had never written Takada's name in that fake notebook. Near's trap would have failed completely. Light would have won. End of the story.

This leads me to an uncomfortable question: Did Light really lose because of Near... or did he lose because he trusted someone else more than he trusted himself? Because his entire downfall depended on Mikami making a mistake that Light himself would never have made.

What do you think?

Was Near's victory truly due to his own intelligence, or was it mainly because Mikami failed where Light expected perfection?

I'm really curious to hear your opinions on this.

"Light must be gay how could he not love Misa" gee I dunno, maybe because she's fucking annoying?

seriously. she's annoying as hell, and shes obsessed with him. like bro she literally stalks him and tackles him when she sees him.

she's definitely funny, I laugh at her antics a lot. but id be exhausted as fuck if I actually had a girlfriend like her irl.

now, yes. she's hot. but like... it gets to a point where looks dont matter when the person is so annoying you want to rip your hair out everytime you speak to them

also, Misa was overly possessive and cant seem to pick up on the hint that light doesn't fucking like her.

she was rich cause she was a model, she was Influential, and famous. so from light trying not to get caught... you can see why he wouldn't want a international famous model as his girlfriend.

not only that, shes annoying as shit. im with light on this one, I wouldnt want her as a girlfriend either.

Did Mikami really mess up

Maybe I’m misunderstandin, but how did Mikami mess up when he chose to write Takada’s name in the Death Note. as far as he was aware, Light was under extreme suspicion and didn’t even have the Death Note. the only reason Light could even write Takada’s name was because the taskforce let him sit in the backseat of the car they were in, giving him the freedom needed to write Takada’s name, if they’d even just made Light sit in passenger‘s seat, or Aizawa or Ide in the backseat with Light, he wouldn’t have been able to write Takada’s name

There was no reason for Mikami to think Light ws in a position where he could write Takada’s name suddenly without anyone seeing, and it was a desperate situatio, so he made the right move from all the information he knew, Mello just forced Light and Mikami into an absolutely terrible situation

Death note different stoylineee!?!

Guyssssss,so i just started watching death note okay (20 years late,but I just started watching anime and also that anime is older than me 😭)

Anyways soo,what if there was a different storyline of death note ykk Light Yagami after his death actually really becomes a shinigami and not go to mu (nothingness),so that will mean that Ryuk would have also been a human right? So what type of human was Ryuk and how did he die...what did he do in his human life?

Also what if L had powers of God too, like a spirit opposite to a shinigami backing him up,would that mean it would easy to find Light? Or would it still be hard to find who Kira really was?

Tho L is a logical guy,but if there was good spirit and power of God with him...he would really be unstoppable i feel

what would Death Note be like if the circumstances were flipped?

by flipped I mean L being kira and light being the detective. assuming this was by the time light left school and graduated from to-oh, and being the son of a very important policeman, would he have been able to catch L? Would ryuk treat L the same? thank you <3
