Why do people like Meronia? What even is the appeal?
Mello hates Near, yada yada yada.
This all sounds like it comes from someone who hasn't properly understood, dissected and evaluated Mello's character.
If I were to ask you what does Mello hate about Near. About him specifically, what would you put on that list? Would you have much of a list?
Mello doesn't like that Near is better than him and has threatened his position as L's successor ever since arriving at Wammy's, but I want to know, what does Mello not like about Near specifically? His character, his personality, him.
If you do have something on the list, I ask again, is it Mello's version he is seeing from misunderstanding?
Like is Mello seeing it only from his point of view and is actually misunderstanding something about Near because he can only see Near as a threat to his goal?
As an example, the gun scene in the SPK. The only time we see Mello become angry directly at Near, it's after Near thanked him for his help which lead Mello to misunderstand and think Near was using him as a tool. Which wasn't the case at all. Near was actually being genuine but said it in such a monotone way it came off sarcastic.
If you read the Manga and seen Mello's reaction when he learned that Near planned to write his own name in the Death Note, that wasn't hate.
Mello hates the threat Near is against his goal, but he doesn't hate him as a person.
As for what the appeal is, thats up to each individual like mentioned before.
-The fact they both understand the pressure of being L's successors better than anyone else in the world. They had an understanding between just them that nobody else in the orphanage had, not even matt.
