An unexpected plot twist that Death Note was missing

In the ever-continuing debate surrounding the intellectual prowess of L and Light in Death Note, it may be worth considering the involvement of a third party that often goes unnoticed.

Death Note, an anime and manga series of unparalleled popularity, continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans even nearly two decades after its initial release. It has sparked endless discussions and speculations, particularly regarding the potential outcomes that could have arisen had the battle of wits between L and Yagami Light taken a different turn. Recently, an intriguing theory surfaced on Reddit, proposing the existence of an alternative path that could have unfolded, keeping the notorious Death Note’s reign of chaos alive even after the demise of both rivals.

The resolution of the enigma surrounding Kira, the alter ego of Light, was ultimately achieved by Near—a gifted orphan who was raised in Wammy’s House and later became L’s successor. However, this theory puts forth the notion of Near wielding the Death Note for his own devices, completely altering the course of events and paving the way for an entirely new sequel with horrifying consequences.

The theory argues that Near’s intelligence is on par with that of both L and Light, and thus, if fate had placed the Death Note into his hands, the implications would have been nothing short of catastrophic—yet undeniably tantalizing for those hungry for further narrative developments. The theory’s author, Mr-PickeJuice, contends that Near would have proven to be the most formidable Kira, surpassing even the accomplishments of Yagami Light. Simultaneously, Near would retain the captivating character arc that audiences adore in Light.

From a practical standpoint, the theory speculates that Near would face fewer complications with government officials than his predecessors, as it is likely that he would not be included in any official databases. Moreover, given his existing access to crucial resources, Near would possess all the tools necessary to assume the role of “the god of the new world.” The potential power he could wield is immense, making for an enthralling sequel filled with moral quandaries and psychological depth.

However, an intriguing question arises: Why would Near even desire to become Kira? The theory offers an answer, suggesting that Near may have suffered from the “Gifted Child Burnout.” As the heir to the legacy of the world’s greatest detective, Near would undoubtedly have borne a tremendous burden on his young shoulders. The strain on his mind and the doubts about his own abilities could have pushed him to seize the opportunity to “prove his worth,” even if it meant perpetrating the heinous act of mass genocide. This intriguing psychological motivation adds another layer of complexity to Near’s character and the potential sequel’s narrative.

Near possesses the promise and potential to create a captivating sequel to Death Note, despite the numerous adaptations and reimaginings that continue to emerge in modern media. The upcoming adaptation of the original manga by Netflix, led by the acclaimed Duffer brothers of Stranger Things fame, may serve as a catalyst for reigniting interest in the series. Should this new adaptation prove successful, the prospects of further sequels would seem inevitable, driven by the insatiable hunger of fans hungry for more of the Death Note universe’s enthralling tales. The possibilities are endless, and the captivating saga of Death Note may continue to unfold in ways that fans could have never imagined.
