RE: Near's Age
Hello.

If it is such an issue about Near's age before the time-skip, I am more than willing to just make Mello's age "13-15".

Whoever listed Near's age as "12-13" was probably in a rush and just wanted to stay on the safe side.

I hope that this helps you with your concern.

About Near?
Why are you people putting Near as 12 years old? Nowhere in the series do we EVER see Near as being 12. Yes when the series starts even though he is not shown until a year later, at the beginning of the series Near would be 12 years old. But we don't see Near until a year later when he is 13 years old. If you're going to make the argument that Near is "12-13" than you need to put that Mello is 13-15 years old because in November 2003 when the series starts Mello would be 13 years old.

How do I know all of this?

I know we first see Near when he's 13 because Near's birthday is August 1991. Before August 2004 Near would be 12 but after August 2004 Near would be 13. 2004-1991=13 there's no denying that fact. Now we see Near AFTER August because we see him AFTER L dies. How do I know? Because the first time we see Near is after Light and the taskforce discuss who is going to be next L. If someone can show me proof that we first see Near as being 12 then show me.

Also I realize it is possible that Near may be shown as 12 in the 109 flashback but given the fact we don't know if it occurred before August 2003 or not Near could have been only 11 years old at that time.

Also at the end of the series in chapter 108 Near would be 19 years old because Chapter 108 takes place on Jan 2011. 2011-1991 is actually 20 but since Near's birthday is in August he would only be 19 years old.
