Near's Toys >> Page 1

  This section is in dedication to myself since I love Near's toys and he makes me jealous since I want them :(. If you haven't read the manga till the end, this WILL be spoiler, since it has references to instances in the manga. I literally had to read the entire manga again to get all of this stuff.

PLEASE DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS! It took literally the entire weekend nonstop to make it!

Puzzle Pieces (61)

15 year old Near is seen playing with this when Roger calls him to the office. Near seems to have finished the puzzle, but when Mello argues about L's death, he empties all the puzzle pieces out saying, "If you cannot win at the game, if you cannot solve the puzzle, you are just a loser". This is the first toy we see of Near.

Card Deck (61)

Near is seen playing with cards when he's talking to the FBI agent. He made a sort of little pyramid out of it, and on the phone he's talking about Sayu's kidnapping, and the notebook. It seems that he is putting two cards at a time, with one hand. while sitting very much like L, but with one leg. It's one of the few toys he has while sitting up.

Match Sticks (62)

At least, they look like match sticks. Here, Near is arranging them in a certain manner to make towers. Before piling them on in this delicate way, however, he seems to have pre-arranged them in a solitary manner on the table itself. I don't know what he is exactly trying to accomplish with this. It's one more of those few toys that need a hard surface to work on.

Darts (63/64)

For this, Near sits on a chair and seems to have a huge supply of darts. We see him with the dart at first, after which he stops to sit down and talk to Light for the first time. After the conversation, he picks up the dart again. The target seems to be attached to the wall in front of him. The target area is like a little shrine, and is most probably electronic. When he first is seen playing with it, he's speaking to Rester about the SPK's ultimate goal of obtaining the notebook and bringing Kira to justice. Near doesn't seem to be very good at darts though, as he missed, and we see many lying on the floor.

Dice (66)

Near has somehow got his hands on probably hundreds or thousands of dice, and is using them for something entirely new. He seems to be making a little city out of the dice, piling them one at a time as towers, while on the phone with Light. However, as he tells Light that he is basically useless, people in the SPK suddenly die around him, and he destroys his little city of dice, saying that he is "beaten", with a sad (cute) face XD. When Light tells him about working together, he holds up a single pile of dice in his hand and stares it, then piles on top of that as well.

Jumbo Plane and Ball Robot (67)

After Near looks at the information the NPA sent him, he starts playing with his robot and plane. Basically, he just whirls them around and makes them fly in the air and stuff (like a little kid). When Light, who hides the information about the shinigami eyes, tells him that he believes Kira probably has a different notebook which allows you to only kill with eyes, Near collides and plane with the robot, who falls into the pieces. He quickly puts it back together, which can mean Near probably assembled both the plane and robot since has all of the supplies on the table. The intersting thing about this, we see Near as a cute child in the Jump chapter, but somehow, in the tanks, his expressions are a bit changed, and he looks much more serious (as seen in the third picture as an example - the first being the tank pic, second being Jump).

Wooden Dart (71)

At first, I thought it was a copy of a missile (maybe it was), but it was a dart since the target could be seen in a small panel. Near ends up carving this thing when he's told about the president's death and the people who died with their helmets taken off. Near is carving this missile with what looks like a knife, although it's a dart it's pretty pre-made, so another one of Near's toys is making these things. He ends up throwing this, towards the target and misses. I must say he really likes his rolling chair.

Lego Fort Space Station w/ Toys (75)

Basically, Near built himself a little fort out of Lego pieces, in which he made room for himself to sit in. I call it a little space station since it looks like one of those places you see in Star Wars, with the round things, satellites, and everything. Along with the fort, he has a couple of toys, including a dinosaur, and then a plane and robot. However, the important ones include the grim reaper and the police man. This chapter takes place right after Soichiro's death, hence, Near is a bit pissed about it, since the NPA gave "Kira" back his notebook too easily, and when Rester asks to talk about the case, and he goes on to describe it, they tell him to skip that part, making him a bit angry to yell "I won't skip!" and destroys part of the fort with his robot. Then, he says that Kira and the second L are working together, pulling off the top of the police robot revealing a skull. He then lay down in his lego place, with this police-skull toy, and explains about the percentage, then replaces the head with a normal head that's smiling, when he says that the 2nd L is taking a passive role in order to not arouse suspicion, and then he says he will thoroughly investigate, while holding the skull head of the police robot he just popped out.
