User blog:Crimsoir/So lets talk about Wammy's house.

So, Wammy's House, we know what it does; it is a place where L and other characters (Near, Mello, Matt, Linda, BB, A) came from. However i do want to discuss about what happened behind the walls.

Wammy's House was created by Watari, for talented gifted children. At first the goal is to just to raise talented children, however soon L came in. After seeing lots of great achievements from L, Watari decided to make the project for the successor of L, in the orphanage. And here's the question: Do any of you think this is a bit too much? Putting children under pressure to make a successor of the prototype(L)?

Examples of how this goes wrong is A and B. A and B was the first generation of successors, and A committed suicide due to the pressure and B....we all know how it went. But how about we look at the other known attempted successors of L; Mello and Near. We all know Mello and Near. Mello the one being called 2nd, and Near the younger one who is considered Number 1. Mello joined the Mafia, while Near works alone. and this is kinda reminiscent of a teenager's rebellious phase. He committed many crimes as a result of trying to prove he doesn't need Wammy or Near to help him catch Kira.

Near, he was known to be called 'carbon copy of L'; while i digress, he was the closest to take the mantle of L (but doesn't surpass L). And while Near is harder to read, he does have emotions and sometimes seen involving it. In the one-shot of C-kira, he follows L's footsteps, he's very passive. he tried to imitate L by doing what L would've done, and thinking of what L would've done. Some say this is a mental struggle for Near, though Near began to Respect L more and more as such the reason why he thought of those. Was this Near struggling to be L or was this just a nod of respect?

what do you think?
