L said if he dies within A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME (I believe it was like 2 weeks if I remember correctly) then Light is Kira. By the time L actually died, that period had well gone by. It'd be absurd to say that if L dies at all then Light was Kira, that's caveman logic.
@@burntcinnamon1735 it was the point, they only didn't show it explicitly, as it would make the successor of L a user of the Death Note... but it was implied that he used the Death Note
Ok so the manga does this scene differently, Near realised that mikami is X Kira in a logical manor. He deduced X Kira appointed takada as spokes person as light was being observed by aizawa at the time. Thus he looked into people takada spoke with on tv, he homes in on mikami as he appeared on tv shortly after killing demigawa to ask permission to appoint another spokes person. Hence the part where he said on the tape "I want to hear from Kira again". It's meant to be a hidden message to Light, he goes on to say somthing about taking action if he doesn't hear Kira's words soon. Anyway Near realised that mikiami was trying to communicate with Kira via the show and when he got no answer he appointed Takada. After that he had Mikami watched and his suspicions were confrimed when Mikami appeared to use the notebook.
"He is the same person as the one who appeared in "Kira's kingdom" and stood out in my memory as a prototype immersive to Kira's idea. (...) Mikami appeared twice of all the TV programs Takada appeared. Twice... I suppose they had enough chances to become close. Plus, his way of saying... this closely resembles Kira's idea saying "I don't allow qualified people not to use their talent to contirubute to society."" - Near thinking while watching his multiple screens "-I think the shortest way to world wide peace should be acting under Kira's instruction and direction. Lord Kira, please give me your words... Without Kira's direction or words... I think I need to speculate and judge what's Kira's idea and then act accordingly." recorded Mikami speach from Kira's Kingdom's broadcast "4 days before this word Demegawa died and 4 days after Takada was chosen as the next spokesman by Kira... This also happened after I posed L that "13-day rule is fake" and Mogi came to me through Mello and Aizawa on his own... Obviously L-Kira must have thought Light Yagami and Misa Amane would be suspected again and kept watched. If he had had Amane have the eyes and judge, Yagami would have felt pressed. He might have chosen Mikami and sent the notebook from Amane to him who he thought was useful among the people in "Kira's kingdom" before he got watched... As Aizawa came back and began to watch him, L-Kira couldn't get contact with Mikami, so Mikami killed Demegawa on his own judgement to stop him running out of control... Without any further instructions from Kira, Mikami showed his excuse through Kira's kingdom and after 4 days he chose the announcer Kiyomi Takada, who he knew was a Kira admirer, as a spokesman of Kira." Near concluding Mikami is the best match for X-Kira - Chapter 91, Death Note Manga
By the time I uploaded this scene I was yet to read the manga and just uploaded it cause it looked cool. And yes Near didn't just had it all handed to him he had to look for the videos that led to this.
There is also something I believe there was in the manga and not in the anime. At some point, Near asks Rester "If you were Kira, who would you choose to give the notebook?" (or something like that), to which he replied that, unlike Near, he couldn't hear 5 TVs at the same time. I thought that it was bs when in the anime (this scene) Near just turns towards Mikami, when actually he was listening to five recordings until Mikami got his attention.
@@LazySugarLover hmmm. What I meant was if it was just the first mentioned team, everyone knows the imposter is either Light or its not Light everyone else is clear. Its technically not Among Us plot bcos not everyone is a suspect and there's a chance the imposter is not even in the group they r investigation. Sorry for tearing apart a silly joke😖😖😖.

Honestly, the anime made it look like some bullshit moment of epic brilliance that is a blatant attempt at hiding plot armor. For anyone who saw this scene and said, "Nope" I would advise you to read the manga.
It makes perfect sense. There's 7 billion people on Earth. only 126 million of them live in Japan. Light Yagami is the real Kira. Who's left? That's right. Mikami is the X-Kira.
Honestly, it's not too hard to believe he figured out Mikami is X-Kira. I mean, Mikami worships Kira like hell, and he has also spoken many times with and seems close with Takada(He knew Takada was working with Kira at the time). He also has had a strong sense of justice since he was a boy. So, is it really so hard to believe? And also, Near has photographic memory, and is a genius.
In the manga this scene actually makes sense. Near has a photgraphic memory and caught that Mikami had appeared as a random interview guest more than once on Takano's show, despite having seemingly little to do with her or Kira.
@@ahmetatfbirben2068 nah, in the manga his thought process makes a lot more sense since it's far more dialogue heavy, something that was sacrificed for a more dramatic effect

When i first watched the Anime i was like yo there are over milion people in this world and Mikami is instant Kira Me after reading the manga OMG IT MAKES SENSE NEAR YOUR A GENIUS XD
Death note in a nutshell. L: light you are kira Light: no I'm not L: ok L: light is kira Everyone: no L: light is kira Everyone: no L: light is kira Everyone: no L: if I die light is kira Everyone: alright *L dies* Everyone: it's not light Near: it's light Everyone: ok
I know this is a joke but I honestly hate it because so many people use it to throw shade at Near. People act like Near didn't have to beat the task force over the head with it repeatedly too and use the evidence L left him to even get them to suspect Light, and Matsuda still never believed until the final reveal.
This is one of the laziest scenes I’ve ever seen for someone to solve a case about someone’s identity. Lemme light up my eyes real quick & spin around 3 times.. oh shit!! Markiplier is Kira, could Kevin Lesean be X-Kira??
The anime didn't do the 2nd half from the manga justice and this scene perfectly encapsulates why. They skip over all the important deductions that Near actually had.
@@jessetheanimenerd3304 so sad that they didn’t do it. Most people fall off watching after L’s death because it just starts being dumb and uninteresting. I still love then hype build up for the last 2 episodes though. The ending is so sad
@@kakashikage9483 In my opinion, the series goes like this. Light vs L arc > Manga Near arc > Manga Mafia arc (yes it was a full length arc in the manga) > 2nd Kira arc > Yotsuba arc
@Uwusus Udududud He spends few days examining these type of Kira based public interaction after keeping light yagami under indirect surveillance then deducing that he is a possible candidate for X Kira as there was a change in mikami's thoughts
I wonder if the world ever runs out of people saying this kind of bullshit. "But in the manga/book..." never did and never will justify a plothole in the story. If your end result adaptation requires outside material to make sense, it says nothing but how poor quality of the adaptation is.
@@dejavu3914 they both hate him because they don't pay enough attention to the anime and assume that he randomly came up with that conclusion. Which is false if only you thought the way Near did maybe you would understand.
There are 7 billion people on earth and Near correctly guesses that Mikami is X-Kira on his first try. My question is why doesn't Near just play the lottery?
Does he need too? He is probably hella rich cause he solved the Kira case plus he probably kept L’s money(and L is rich af) because he was the only one alive between him and the other successors (Mello and Matt) not trying to be rude, I’m just saying lol
@@jackie8522 Actually Near emptied out his inheritance money when he made it rain on the riot. Your other point still stands though. Not to mention he can work on other cases.
The anime cut out a lot of scenes from the 2nd half including most of the inner monologues and the deductions. Near's thought process is much more fleshed out in the manga.
Only a genius can see a pattern and recognize minute differences going over thousands and thousands of video tapes ... keeping them in his head and reaching a close enough hypothesis .... and in Near's words 'If we are wrong, we just have to say sorry' ... I see no problem with Near being the real hero ... and not just a well drawn character.
All the people who are bitching about his capability should measure their own ... half of them would not be able to watch this data .. let alone organize it in their head ... and he hypothesized: "Could ..." not made a conclusion.
Near came to this conclusion because Takada had already interviewed Mikami several times before they started helping kira, Near simply deduced that x-kira would have to be someone connected to Takada, Near did not have a "vision" of who would be the x-kira he reached that conclusion thanks to Takada and Mikami Interviews, Even Matt would have thought the same way. looks Like You guys don't pay attention to The anime when watch It.
Daichi Zken' See he choosen mikami not just because of that silly statement. Mikami was understood to understand kira's ideals perfectly. A thorough check had been done before choosing him. He must be very exclusive.

Among us is super easy, i have guessed a lot of times, and was correct most of the times, it works because i dont say it for bullshit reasons, but because you observe a very little amount of people around (5-6) usually and can deduce based on their act of doing things in certain time and place, near also did this, but the anime didn't explain his thought process, in the manga they did it different, and it didn't look bullshit like in the anime
@@aaykat6078 same except everyone will vote me off for calling someone else sus cus its sus so it doesn’t matter if im right anyways amogus is hard game
Bruh stop spreading lies ep2 ended with kira and L challenging each other without knowing anything about the opposite side ! L suspecting light made sense from beginning to end but this video right here is what I'd call a "brain fart" moment
What? That's absolutely not true. The reason L suspected Light was because he realised that Kira was someone who had access to information from the police. Kira had to be either a police officer or a relative to a police officer. After Light killed that FBI agent who was watching him, he made it so obvious, atleast to L, that he was Kira.
Nope. His hypothesis was that Kira is obviously a very smart person and most likely not an adult from the way he acted so he instantly thought that Kira might be one of Japan's top students and light was most suspicious because he was soichiro yagamis son

0:51 I love that little visual parallel of Near standing above his constructions with the godzilla figure in the foreground, even standing in a similar way. Near plays with toys because he's modeling his own little controlled virsion of events, acting out his ideas in a miniature virsion of his own design. He's like Godzilla of his own little environment. A force of nature doing as they please, destroying the obstacles and plans of Kira.
Don't forget L's monster speech had given Near a huge clue. L completed most of the case; however L's plan was if he died he would leave it to his successors Near and Mello. Seperately Near and Mello are inferior to L due to their sibling rivalry. Therefore only by working togethor were Mello and N were able to surpass L.
@@nodeUser it is because they're like kids, who doesn't look like their smart in this, near didn't make any mistakes, and mello died. Both were highly annoying characters for most people. People wanted battle between L and Light, not kids and Light. Near only won, cuz of mello and light was extremely stupid when making his plan(creators sucked).
Why do people hate Near? Just because he kind of resembles L? Aren't there allowed to be two characters that resemble each other? I'm sure that if Near came first and L appeared later, Near would be praised and L would be hated.
I took the quote “everything seems to fit into place” and also remembered the first appearance with near playing with specifically a puzzle. I thought of this as a way to symbolize that Near is the true successor to L with having deductive skills even above his at this point.
I think Near would have had a better reception if he was introduced sooner, rather than seening him as a replacement we would have seen him as an avenger.
Two things 1, Near took the possibility of Kira being this new L and Light Yagami, and absolutely ran with it. Considering L’s death was never reported, Near felt Light had a lot to gain from L’s demise 2, there was already a member of the task force, Aizawa, who suspected Light and was in contact with Near Basically, Near didn’t just take a bunch of random guesses, Light was always on the defensive as soon as he killed L, he grew tired of the combat with Near that wasn’t worth his time, which is why he took Near’s appointment to meet in person, where he would finally finish the job. He didn’t m
Did Near do this better in the manga? Yeah. Did Near do it better in the anime which this clip is from? Hell no. So why are you guys in the comments using the manga Near to defend Near in the anime?
Eternal Reality yes I agree it was like that because the last episodes of the anime was rushed and the used the magical *PLOT ARMOR* instead of fully explaining it like the manga
@@SmoothieIWANTMONEYANDFAME Near is a fool, I seriously don't like him for some reason, I mean, I do love his themes tho, but seriously, when L said light is Kira, everyone be like, you don't have any evidence. And when near says it, everyone be appreciating for no reason. For me, death note ended at ep 25
HERROPREASE HERRO he lost because he didn't quit the task force after L died. The whole world was on his side after that; he just wanted to kill Near for fun. What could they have done if he'd quit and become the god of the new world, which was bound to happen if Matsuda didn't shoot him?
I could accept there are hints in Mikami's words. It made it clear he spoke to Kira somehow... and maybe this just put him under suspicion, because for all they knew he was a crackpot :P But it felt too rushed...
The anime cut out a lot of scenes from the 2nd half including most of the inner monologues and the deductions. Near's thought process is much more fleshed out in the manga.

Still can’t believe they crammed all of death note into only 37 episodes with only a few scenes like this suggesting signs of cut content. Brilliant production.
If they showed Near deducing Mikami is X-Kira in a logical way like in the manga, I would’ve had a lot more respect for anime Near. He honestly was one of my favorite characters, minus this moment.
@@jessetheanimenerd3304 You said it yourself. They did in fact cut out a lot of his scenes (and Mello's too) but that doesn't mean he flat out guessed who X-Kira was.
Pretty sure Near had Light/Mikami as a test and as his main suspects, as what he had left to go on from L He’d meet with Light, and if for some reason Light WASN’T Kira, then it’s back to the drawing board Light had a lot more to lose than Near did with that meeting
I haven't read the Manga as of yet, but while this scene wasn't exactly the best in the show, I thought that if Light could notice him near might be able to as well, especially if he's more public after the end of that TV show in the story.
People rag on this scene WAY too much. Even in the anime, it's possible to understand where Near is coming from. Disclaimer: I am currently reading the manga but I haven't gotten to this part yet. This is all based on what is presented to us in the anime. As Near says right before this scene starts: "Takada was chosen because she is a strong supporter of Kira, so, that means X-Kira must be someone who knew Takada was a Kira worshipper. Someone who had a close intimate relationship with her before selection". And before that, he asks "Who would I choose to be X-Kira? Out of all the people in the world?" So what Near knows is that X-Kira was selected by Kira, but Takada was selected by X-Kira. This is not unreasonable to assume, since Near already knows for a fact that Kira is among the task force members (based on the fact that their Shinigami lied about the fake rules) and so he can't act freely. And so, because Kira picked an X-Kira specifically to act on his behalf, it only makes sense that Takada couldn't have been chosen by anyone other than X-Kira. What goes over a lot people's heads is that Takada wasn't publicly famous for being a Kira worshipper before her selection. You might have known about it if you paid close attention to her appearances on TV, but that wasn't her main deal yet. So X-Kira must be someone who has met Takada and found out that she was a Kira supporter. As for X-Kira himself, the prerequisite is that he understands and believes in Kira's ideology well enough to act without Kira's orders. And of course, Kira could only have found him and selected him through his appearances in the media. Appearances where he has clearly proclaimed his support for Kira. Knowing all that, Near brainstorms the list of possible suspects. We're not told how many suspects he has in mind, but I'd wager there aren't a lot of them. And out of everyone he can think of, Teru Mikami comes up as the most likely candidate. The anime has a habit of cutting out various details to keep the pace of the episode steady, and I think this is where it came at the cost of understanding Near's jump in logic.
@@yo519_ no it wasn't just someone with a close relationship with takada it was also someone who share kira's ideal not to metion that takada wasn't kira's spokesperson until she became in contact with light also it was someone who understood kira well enough to act on his own, near could deduce that by himself or even ask light in person and if all kira supporters were saying the same thing who did light chose mikami in the first place.
It's fairly obvious that Mikami's XKira because he's the only one who actually mentioned Kira's teachings and functioning by themselves. Remember, this is the show that "took direct orders from Kira." And the lady and him are the only spokespeople that were allowed to live by Kira. Both Mikami and the lady must have a connection to Kira. Considering the woman is already the spokesperson... and that Light is Kira and that he needed someone else to write names because he's already being watched too closely to write it himself. It's obvious to conclude that he's XKira. Of course, you'd want to follow them closely to make sure. Which is what N did.
"everything *seems* to fit" so just a hunch. This is why people liked L over Near. Near copying L aside, the difference was L wouldn't move his case along as though it were certain on a hunch. L had the same "everything *seems* to fit" with Light, but he didn't just arrest him/have his whole case hinge on Light being Kira because Light could have NOT been Kira.
Different ways of solving problems eventually killed Light Yagami. He made correct guesses. Near's mind is like Batman if he doesn't know a topic too well.
Yes, my fellow typology enthusiast... Ni, the sage-like function that aggregates data points of the past, present and future... and synthesizes it altogether to arrive at a more restrictive conclusion.

Ludovic Ovsepian Mikami's past, his personality, his choice of words, his actions gives it away that he is X-Kira. Well I guess you won't understand just like many others in this fandom.
Just read the comment that I posted above for the manga explanation. They just compressed Chapter 91 in the anime, so don't hate on the story, hate on the anime adaptation producers for not making it clear.
Now being a bit older than when I was, when I watched Death Note for the first time I like Near a lot more now out of respect of his talent hahaha Great show!
At the beginning of this scene, Near is shown to be surrounded by hundreds of tapes and videos. When Near discovers who X-Kira is, I don't think this is lazy writing, I just think it's a visually interesting way of getting the point across to the viewer that he's analysing and processing all these tapes. The alternative would be to have a scene where he's putting each tape into a VHS player and watching them one by one, which in my opinion, would be visually dull and boring to watch.
There were millions of people who worshipped kira at the time and were on that same show,so Near just saw that dude and said yup he's X kira,totally makes sense
The manga goes into much detail, but basically Near wasn't trying to look for Mikami, he was investigating Takada and Mikami was in multiple of her shows.
The main problem with Near is that he has all of L's insane intelligence and deductive skills with none of his charm, likeability, or flaws. We barely ever get explanations for his conclusions they just kind of happen.

By the time I uploaded this scene I was yet to read the manga and just uploaded it cause it looked cool. And yes Near didn't just had it all handed to him he had to look for the videos that led to this.
thank you for explaining because in the anime this is bullshit lol
There is also something I believe there was in the manga and not in the anime. At some point, Near asks Rester "If you were Kira, who would you choose to give the notebook?" (or something like that), to which he replied that, unlike Near, he couldn't hear 5 TVs at the same time. I thought that it was bs when in the anime (this scene) Near just turns towards Mikami, when actually he was listening to five recordings until Mikami got his attention.
Feeso near still sucks lol😂
Based on my deduction I deduce that Near watched the anime 'Death Note' before sussing Mikami as the imposter.
Mikami is a deranged mental case, I would have suspected him right away

Of course he deducted Light is Kira, he was too smart and he needed to eliminate the competition.
Thank you they just wanted Light to lose
Bruh stop spreading lies ep2 ended with kira and L challenging each other without knowing anything about the opposite side ! L suspecting light made sense from beginning to end but this video right here is what I'd call a "brain fart" moment
What? That's absolutely not true. The reason L suspected Light was because he realised that Kira was someone who had access to information from the police. Kira had to be either a police officer or a relative to a police officer. After Light killed that FBI agent who was watching him, he made it so obvious, atleast to L, that he was Kira.
Nope. His hypothesis was that Kira is obviously a very smart person and most likely not an adult from the way he acted so he instantly thought that Kira might be one of Japan's top students and light was most suspicious because he was soichiro yagamis son
This make so much sense!
There no way they hand the mic over to a character with no potential in the story so mikami must be x Kira!

Two things
1, Near took the possibility of Kira being this new L and Light Yagami, and absolutely ran with it. Considering L’s death was never reported, Near felt Light had a lot to gain from L’s demise
2, there was already a member of the task force, Aizawa, who suspected Light and was in contact with Near
Basically, Near didn’t just take a bunch of random guesses, Light was always on the defensive as soon as he killed L, he grew tired of the combat with Near that wasn’t worth his time, which is why he took Near’s appointment to meet in person, where he would finally finish the job. He didn’t m

Jenna Ramos that's not how things work
Light lost the moment he killed the fake L on TV Lind Taylor.
HERROPREASE HERRO he lost because he didn't quit the task force after L died. The whole world was on his side after that; he just wanted to kill Near for fun. What could they have done if he'd quit and become the god of the new world, which was bound to happen if Matsuda didn't shoot him?
Yeah Mikami fucked up, it was all his fault that Light failed
HERROPREASE HERRO nah not really cause in the end he should've gotten rid of L then quit the task force

Pretty sure Near had Light/Mikami as a test and as his main suspects, as what he had left to go on from L
He’d meet with Light, and if for some reason Light WASN’T Kira, then it’s back to the drawing board
Light had a lot more to lose than Near did with that meeting
I haven't read the Manga as of yet, but while this scene wasn't exactly the best in the show, I thought that if Light could notice him near might be able to as well, especially if he's more public after the end of that TV show in the story.
And Mikami had needed to be noticed in order to get a message from Light, and people seem to miss that.
I love how ridiculous and over the top this scene is. Near may be no L, but he's still awesome
People rag on this scene WAY too much. Even in the anime, it's possible to understand where Near is coming from.
Disclaimer: I am currently reading the manga but I haven't gotten to this part yet. This is all based on what is presented to us in the anime.
As Near says right before this scene starts: "Takada was chosen because she is a strong supporter of Kira, so, that means X-Kira must be someone who knew Takada was a Kira worshipper. Someone who had a close intimate relationship with her before selection". And before that, he asks "Who would I choose to be X-Kira? Out of all the people in the world?"
So what Near knows is that X-Kira was selected by Kira, but Takada was selected by X-Kira. This is not unreasonable to assume, since Near already knows for a fact that Kira is among the task force members (based on the fact that their Shinigami lied about the fake rules) and so he can't act freely. And so, because Kira picked an X-Kira specifically to act on his behalf, it only makes sense that Takada couldn't have been chosen by anyone other than X-Kira.
What goes over a lot people's heads is that Takada wasn't publicly famous for being a Kira worshipper before her selection. You might have known about it if you paid close attention to her appearances on TV, but that wasn't her main deal yet. So X-Kira must be someone who has met Takada and found out that she was a Kira supporter.
As for X-Kira himself, the prerequisite is that he understands and believes in Kira's ideology well enough to act without Kira's orders. And of course, Kira could only have found him and selected him through his appearances in the media. Appearances where he has clearly proclaimed his support for Kira.
Knowing all that, Near brainstorms the list of possible suspects. We're not told how many suspects he has in mind, but I'd wager there aren't a lot of them. And out of everyone he can think of, Teru Mikami comes up as the most likely candidate.
The anime has a habit of cutting out various details to keep the pace of the episode steady, and I think this is where it came at the cost of understanding Near's jump in logic.
I appreciate the explanation, i do think that this scene makes sense if you put it with this context
Nah man its still just Bad written.

@@heracrossz7701 Because it isnt well explained, who knows how much people there are, with contact to takada? Its just simple shit.

It's fairly obvious that Mikami's XKira because he's the only one who actually mentioned Kira's teachings and functioning by themselves. Remember, this is the show that "took direct orders from Kira." And the lady and him are the only spokespeople that were allowed to live by Kira. Both Mikami and the lady must have a connection to Kira. Considering the woman is already the spokesperson... and that Light is Kira and that he needed someone else to write names because he's already being watched too closely to write it himself. It's obvious to conclude that he's XKira. Of course, you'd want to follow them closely to make sure. Which is what N did.
Bro theres like a thousand people that said that in tv during the time of Kira, Mikami wasnt the only fan lmao.
"everything *seems* to fit" so just a hunch. This is why people liked L over Near. Near copying L aside, the difference was L wouldn't move his case along as though it were certain on a hunch. L had the same "everything *seems* to fit" with Light, but he didn't just arrest him/have his whole case hinge on Light being Kira because Light could have NOT been Kira.
Chris C read the manga. He had a better deduction
Well tbf, even in the anime, near has someone follow mikami. They confirmed it only after they saw him using the death note.
Different ways of solving problems eventually killed Light Yagami. He made correct guesses. Near's mind is like Batman if he doesn't know a topic too well.
Chris C idiot read the manga your usles
But light still decreased the crime rate to 70%
I call bullshit. He didn't even deduce it, he just went all Three Eyed Raven and simply knew
Tit0Matic lol true
Tit0Matic read the manga. He had a better deduction during this scene
Cub Cake ch 91
Tit0Matic read the manga you usles garbage
Dark Paladin and you dont know better read the manga idiot
When Near won, L won too.
When Near's eyes lit up, bringing up MBTI, but that seemed like Introverted Intuition at work as an INTJ for him lol
For a moment I thought near has some kind of supernatural powers
Near is a re-written version of “Nate River”
*NA* te Riv *ER*
Rearrange that and you get

See , this is why near deserves the hate he gets, he just guesses he is the killer
The anime doesn't do him justice in this scene, the manga shows him coming to this conclusion in better detail.
This is Near's cognitive function. Introverted intuition or NI. I'm talking about the MBTI.
lol pretty sure the writers thought about that when making this character (this is sarcasm).
It's just anime error. It's explained in the manga.
@@caffemocca8855 Dude... I was just typing him😑😑
Yes, my fellow typology enthusiast...
Ni, the sage-like function that aggregates data points of the past, present and future... and synthesizes it altogether to arrive at a more restrictive conclusion.
In fact, Light was trying to put Mikami in the focus of Near so he could trick him switching death notes. Mikami just messed up everything.
It was Lights fault.
Mikami: Everybody should do tasks.
Near: Mikami kinda sus
乁 ˘ o ˘ ㄏ
In the anime, it's such a Deus Ex Machina moment lol, he just randomly looks at Mikami giving a speech and deduces that he is X Kira
I originally uploaded this scene because of the way the Deus Ex Machina happened, freaking Avatar state.
@@LazySugarLover haha Near got possessed by the ghost of L for a bit there 😅
This. This is why Death Note went downhill after L's death.
How so?
Rachel Barlow No justification. He knew because "he's smart, he just realized".
Hell no. Fuck L. Near is the boss.
Kimi97 near was the person that made everything boring
"He is the same person as the one who appeared in "Kira's kingdom" and stood out in my memory as a prototype immersive to Kira's idea. (...) Mikami appeared twice of all the TV programs Takada appeared. Twice... I suppose they had enough chances to become close. Plus, his way of saying... this closely resembles Kira's idea saying "I don't allow qualified people not to use their talent to contribute to society."" - Near thinking while watching his multiple screens
"-I think the shortest way to world wide peace should be acting under Kira's instruction and direction. Lord Kira, please give me your words... Without Kira's direction or words... I think I need to speculate and judge what's Kira's idea and then act accordingly." recorded Mikami speach from Kira's Kingdom's broadcast
"4 days before this word Demegawa died and 4 days after Takada was chosen as the next spokesman by Kira... This also happened after I posed L that "13-day rule is fake" and Mogi came to me through Mello and Aizawa on his own...
Obviously L-Kira must have thought Light Yagami and Misa Amane would be suspected again and kept watched. If he had had Amane have the eyes and judge, Yagami would have felt pressed. He might have chosen Mikami and sent the notebook from Amane to him who he thought was useful among the people in "Kira's kingdom" before he got watched...
As Aizawa came back and began to watch him, L-Kira couldn't get contact with Mikami, so Mikami killed Demegawa on his own judgement to stop him running out of control... Without any further instructions from Kira, Mikami showed his excuse through Kira's kingdom and after 4 days he chose the announcer Kiyomi Takada, who he knew was a Kira admirer, as a spokesman of Kira." Near concluding Mikami is the best match for X-Kira
- Chapter 91, Death Note Manga
No one:
Near: Mikami is X-Kira
0:00 Mewtwo
00:00 - 00:04 is me finally solving one of twelve math equation in a test
Imagine Light sharing the notebook with an outspoken advocate of Kira. Bruh.
"The sentences of Mikami is clear.."
This scene is insulting to L, he literally just guesses that Mikami is X-Kira.
The manga explains it better, apparently.

- Chapter 91, Death Note Manga
Ludovic Ovsepian Mikami's past, his personality, his choice of words, his actions gives it away that he is X-Kira. Well I guess you won't understand just like many others in this fandom.
Just read the comment that I posted above for the manga explanation.
They just compressed Chapter 91 in the anime, so don't hate on the story, hate on the anime adaptation producers for not making it clear.
how tf is this insulting to L, they are fictional charaCteRs
Now being a bit older than when I was, when I watched Death Note for the first time
I like Near a lot more now out of respect of his talent hahaha
Great show!
0:00 Near has reached ultimate trap card.
At the beginning of this scene, Near is shown to be surrounded by hundreds of tapes and videos. When Near discovers who X-Kira is, I don't think this is lazy writing, I just think it's a visually interesting way of getting the point across to the viewer that he's analysing and processing all these tapes.
The alternative would be to have a scene where he's putting each tape into a VHS player and watching them one by one, which in my opinion, would be visually dull and boring to watch.
There were millions of people who worshipped kira at the time and were on that same show,so Near just saw that dude and said yup he's X kira,totally makes sense
The manga goes into much detail, but basically Near wasn't trying to look for Mikami, he was investigating Takada and Mikami was in multiple of her shows.
HE IS SO CUTE UGH
0:39 "Lol wut. What this guy talking about, is he insane?"
Am I the only one who likes this scene? I just find it to be a really cool scene.
Holy F...the wing sound...Near thinking...Near analysing(with the whispering) and Near....standing.....what a scene..
The entire anime is filled with plot conviniences. Maybe as comments sugguest it tried to follow the manga in shorter amount of time.
"Near sweetie, your telekinesis powers are impressive and all, but we REALLY need you to figure out who X-Kira is"
how did I not see thet before?
my toy! you were T kira this whole time!
Yeah the ocean is made up of water , thats how Near finds out Mikami is X Kira.
Near really has grown
The main problem with Near is that he has all of L's insane intelligence and deductive skills with none of his charm, likeability, or flaws. We barely ever get explanations for his conclusions they just kind of happen.
