THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
How did you guys find it? I thought it was pretty good. I guess the new Kira couldn't handle it and committed suicide. Ah well, it's nice to see an addition to the Death Note series.

that was.. okay, I guess. Overall, the best about it was that I got to see how Near looked after 3 years (and was I mesmerized! He was hawter than even Light) The flashback was a welcomed bonus, and I find the way Near did away with the 3rd Kira with a mere word particularly interesting. That showed the astounding depth of his insight, and his capability as L.

However, the birth of this new Kira was.. wrong. Or the atmosphere. Or the apple trade for the note, I don't know. Somehow I felt like at this rate, a new Kira will appear every few years, and sooner or later Kira will no longer be archived as a god or something mythical, but a phenomenon which occurred at an undetermined frequency.

It was okay.
I mostly just liked the Near parts though.
Most else wasn't all that interesting to me.

I do wish we had gotten to see this poser's face, though.

haha I wanted to see C-Kiras face too = I found that Nears final answer was pretty satisfiying =) it was a good way to cap off death note.

Why arent you in the Naruto Shippuden Club!

Agreed.

The awesomeness of Death Note comes from the mental sparring. If it's just Near sitting around being retarded, who cares?

The art was nice and clean, though.

I think all this chapter was meant to show is that a normal person can't use the Death Note so easily without succumbing to the mental stress that comes from killing people. The guy who got it offed himself because he couldn't take the pressure. This just makes Light stand out in terms of how strong he could hold his own composure, especially after using the Death Note so long.

It's meant as a supplement to the story to bring out the true coolness of Light and L. Nothing more, nothing less.

It was ok but the ending sucked. What was he thinking really? "I killed a bunch of old dudes but when L said I suck, it made me sad and made me kill myself."

I have to agree about that.
It was too...moralising, somehow? Yes, Light was strong enough to assume the moral "responsibility" (if you can call it that) of killing thousands, and this guy was obviously not. But I think someone who would react that badly would not have had the strength to start using the Death Note in the first place. On the other hand, reality is sometimes weirder than fiction.

This being said, I liked it overall, seeing as how the whole one-shot was really about L and Light, plus Near's memories and introspection about L were interesting for me. (And Near's respect for Light was a nice touch as well *g*)

Not bad at all. I may not of like the ending, but the way they did just makes me miss Kira more.

I liked it. It shows how Kira had the individual convection to do what he did. It shows no many had the will to do what Light fought to the end for.

I think that this serious showed that...even if a NEW Kira came 'C-Kira' Near realised that Light and L were really the superior ones, were the (as wacky as it may sound) the ORIGINALS XD

It was like showing proof that what they did left an impact on people and they didnt forget them or replace them...

And besides, we needed to know Ryuuk had his apples XD

I wonder of they could make and OVA from this .... Or a special =P

I was pretty dissapointed because nothing interesting really happened. It just felt like a filler.

not really a waste of time, but ... yeah, it was a waste of time :)
I'm telling you this because you don't get it. You think you get it, which is not the same as actually getting it. Get it?
