Most Overrated Death Note Characters

The Top Ten
1 L Lawliet L Lawliet, exclusively known by the mononym L, is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata .

While he is great, I can't deny he is crazily OVERRATED. Compared to Light, he's a lot more two-dimensional and the only thing that really stands out about him is his personality and traits. Because let's be real, he only went into the case for fame.

He was interesting, but I don't get why he's the most popular character.

He is the best.

2 Naomi Misora Naomi Misora is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

She fully deserves the praise. Sure, she was only in two episodes, but compared to say Wedy, she gave off a much better image and character, being the intelligent woman she is.

I think she was only in 2 episodes, but she's often ranked as one of the best characters.

3 Mello Mihael Keehl, universally referred to by the mononym Mello, is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

Hmm, here we have my waifu at #3..., I'm sorry I'm calling him underrated. Because while yes, he has a notable fanbase and is preffered over Near by the fandom..., he's still very much unknown because of how hated the last third arc is..., and because of how much praise L and Light get in comparision

4 Mail Jeevas (Matt)

I say he is overrated because he is used by fans a lot in fan works and is often mentioned yet his character is almost nonexistent.

He really isn't though. The anime just made him a smaller character than he actually is.

5 Soichiro Yagami

Underrated, for sure.

6 Rem Rem is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

I always thought she was underrated.

7 Touta Matsuda Touta Matsuda is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
8 Near Nate River, exclusively known by the mononym Near, is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
9 Shuichi Aizawa

Erm no. Matsuda and Soichiro were better, but I felt Aizawa was always one of my favourites as well. He's the most useful and intelligent member of the group.

10 Kanzo Mogi

He's the most fun task force member outside of Matsuda.

The Contenders
11 Light Yagami Light Yagami is a fictional character and the protagonist of the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
12 Kiyomi Takada Kiyomi Takada is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

She's none, and luckily. She's the absolute worst character.
