Mello And Near Age-chart

If near wrote mikami’s name in the deathnote would that make him more ruthless than L?

I know that in Near’s profile in HTR13 it’s suggested that he could be more cold-blooded than L, but I personally still think it’s the other way around. While I can see why someone would say that nothing L did would be as ruthless as writing a person’s name in the Death Note yourself, I have a hard time seeing Near as worse when you look at the full picture.

Both certainly are quite pragmatic and willing to make sacrifices. But when I think of one of the very first things L did (letting Kira kill someone live on TV) and the last thing he planned (using the Death Note on an execution), I see someone who’s much more ready - and used - to use human beings as pawns.

Especially when I also contrast L considering letting Matsuda die when he infiltrated Yotsuba vs Near communicating very clearly with his team, even giving them the chance to cop out of certain dangerous missions. Near certainly seems more considerate.

Also, I can’t think of any reason why L wouldn’t write someone’s name in the Death Note, if he were in a similar situation. Personally, I see him arranging Misa’s torture as bad enough. And since we’re in the realm of speculation; the one thing I can see that could lead Near to be more cruel than L, would be that he seems more emotionally invested in the case.

But I don’t think that Near is, at his core, more ruthless or cruel than L.
