actually he isnt, i had a friend look up the IQs of the characters and Mello's IQ was about 140, near's on the other hand i think was around 170, now that would make mello a legal "genious" compared to the other main characters he is actually one of the dumbest
near dosent just "sit around playing with toys all day" remember he was the one who cought kira, not mello who was used 由 kira. i would say near is pretty 《勇敢传说》 for facing kira after hearing that kira killed l (though Mello did do the same thing) but as far as streinth go, that was never proven
Near. :3 I just found Near less... I don't exactly know how to put it... Near can handle things better then Mello I guess??? Oh well, I still 爱情 Mello. <3 CRAAAAAAACK PICTURE! :DDD
