Talk:Matt

ey, idd like to say that Mello and Matt are NOT boyfreinds. Teh only time they are, is in fan yaoi which does not relate to the officail 'Death Note' anime/mangas.

Im aware that you can buy MattxMello yaoi, but it doesnt relate to the original story. Thanks guys, just wanted to clear it up for anyone who mite be.. confused lol 219.90.214.190 04:11, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

- Of course I agree. But at least Mello/Matt is more official than Mello/Near could ever hope to be. . . Yes, i love Mello/Matt, infact, i read the yaoi sometimes, but still, i dont thinkit belongs is with the information about the character in the anime and mangas, seeing as its a fan pairing ^_^

- I was told that one of the creators said the original thumbnail sketches of Matt had him with red hair. Anyone know if this is true, and whether the manga creators had input on the anime coloring? - Not sure. I always pictured him with red hair, but the manga doesn't provide any colored panels of Matt. I guess the green/brown color has become the most accepted, though.

If you look at Matt's page, there is a small picture from a Japanese anime guide-book which clearly shows that he has Black hair. Mogturmen 20:20, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

No, his hair's green-brown. Not black. If you look closer at the picture, his hair definitely isn't black.

Matt's personality
- Matt's an underdeveloped character in the death note manga/anime and the only personality information given really is his chain smoking and love for videogames, is there any thoughts or other information about his personality? Even personal opinions about his personality would be helpful. thanks

- No, they wouldn't. If it isn't an official fact it has no place in an encyclopedia article such as this one. --75.111.231.192 03:40, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

- I read somewhere that Matt is a little cocky, and that his cockiness is what got him killed in the end.

Matt pop culture
- Any thoughts about why Matt is so popular even though he is barely featured in the manga or anime?

- Well...I like Matt because he is attractive and cool.....and he is associated with Mello, which automatically makes him likeable, to me..

- ^_^ Agreed. I honestly don't know either, though. I remember, before I became an uber fan of his, that it was weird why people loved him. He's just frickin' awesome, I s'pose. XD

- He:


 * Works for Mello


 * Wears goggles


 * fired a smoke grenade (one of the only weapons seen so far besides guns)


 * And got ended too quickly for his purpose to be revealed (the building blocks for a lot of fanon)

That's why.

M&M
In case any of you are wondering,

Matt and Mello are not gay boyfriends, and please stop stating that, they are mearly friends from Wammy's house and they work together in the mafia. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 19:25, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Mello/Matt
The reason the subject of the Mello and Matt pairing is posted on his page, is because the pairing does indeed exist. Maybe not in the anime, manga or novels, but exists regardless. This is why it is posted in the 'Trivia' section as opposed to the main page or even under relations, labelling Mello as being anything other than accomplice. I don't know about anyone else, but I like to search if there are any hints of shonen-ai, canon or fandom, before watching an anime. I don't see any harm in posting any pairing on a character's page as long as the status, whether confirmed or unconfirmed by the canon, is stated clearly. Sound reasonable? 174.93.60.8 21:49, August 23, 2011 (UTC) xDelfin

-There is a lot of harm in posting "any pairing on a character's page" because this is a wiki -- a place for factual information, not fan speculation. MarleneZ. 05:48, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Artwork
I found this picture, and the artwork is real. The same ones can be found in the special features on the Death Note volume 2 DVD box set. Is it okay to post this on Matt's page? MarleneZ. 04:25, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Photos
I put all of the photos on Matt's page into a gallery at the bottom. The page is so small that having the photos in the article make it look unorganized. I hope that's okay. MarleneZ. 03:16, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Trivia
The trivia section seems to me highly abused in my opinion.Matt's popularity is somewhat subjective and the fact that he called Misa cute is hardly trivia in my opinion. Then we would have many meaningless one time quotes as trivia as well.

Matt's Hair Color
I plan to settle this once and for all. I opened the official artwork of Matt in Paint, and his hair is definitely not bright red. However, it's understandable why some may think it's green.

The main coloration is brown, but there are some small traces of a light-olive color. Though I don't think that means his hair is green. It's just a way to show highlights and shading.

Matt's Height
''"Matt's blood type is given as O, his height as 5'6" (though incorrectly converted as 5'5" in HTR13) and his weight as 115 lbs." ''

This caught my attention and I don't fully understand it. Was Matt's height printed in an official source outside of HTR13? If so, it would be very helpful if someone could give the name of the source. Until then, I'm removing the line since there's nothing to back it up.

Knowledge
Why is Matt's knowledge listed as higher in the anime than in the manga? Has this ever been said? Mikazuki 22:51, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

And apparently on other pages as well, but with different points depending on the character. I don't doubt anything someone put down, I just want to know where this information was obtained. Mikazuki 22:55, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

There was an anime guide book released in Japan that contained stats similar to the ones in How To Read 13. For some reason, the anime stats differ from the manga. Also in How To Read 13, each character was given the stats Intel, Creativity, Initiative, Emotional Strength, and Social Skills, as well their own personal stat (ex: Mello has the "Inferiority Complex" stat, and Near has "Life Skills" stat.)

Quotes
Are these quotes correct? They don't sound quite right. They definitely don't match the English dub of the anime, and a friend borrowed the last few volumes of the manga, so I can't check them right now. I'm going to remove them for now until someone has them checked. I'll try to do that tonight, but if anyone can do it sooner please leave a note on this page. MarleneZ.
