Would Mello have been able to catch Kira on his own in Death Note? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There will be spoilers in this post though, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! So, would Mello be able to catch Kira? It's actually rather hard to say. He is very intelligent, but he often lets his emotions get in the way. Despite this, he does have the potential to catch Kira when he teams up with other people. For example, his ties with the mafia helped him obtain one of the Death Notes. Along with this, Matt also helped him with a lot of his plans as well. It's unclear if he could have carried out any of these plans by himself, but even Near and L needed help with the Kira case. However, Mello is mainly driven by his ego. He easily lets things go to his head, and he is fueled by his inferiority complex. If he had to catch Kira by himself, he may have ended up letting Kira's taunting affect his work. This could've eventually lead to Mello's defeat. But, it's hard to say if he would still be this emotional about things if he didn't have to compete with Near the entire time. These are mostly just my thoughts on the topic anyways though. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, here's a picture of Mello. Enjoy!
