I have absolutely no idea how they’d do it but I constantly daydream about a death note part II musical… give mello and near the duet they damn well deserve
Like. The original musical does such an insanely cool job of incorporating the each character’s instrumentals into the musical, I’d kill to see how they’d tackle Mello and Near oTL
#death note#mello#near#mello death note#near death note#death note the musical#I think so often about how in the show mello and near’s themes end up completing each other#Near’s earlier themes (1 and 2) both feature L’s typical piano with a hint of Near’s trademark synth#Which is a really cool thought because synths are sort of like an “evolved piano#Meanwhile Mello’s 1st and 2nd themes are very electric guitar and drum set heavy#which again is another aspect of L’s theme as it shifts from piano to guitar#On another note all of the ‘thinking’ themes incorporate a ticking sound#but Mello’s is really unique because it sounds more like a bomb timer than a stopwatch#foreshadowing fr…#anyways when you get to mello no theme and near no theme they’re more complete#Near grows into himself and abandons the piano completely in favor of his synth that then incorporates the guitar and drums (mello core)#while mello no theme takes a calmer approach than his previous themes *but* starts including Near’s synthy sounds#anyways a back-and-forth musical duet would really suit them#and then their instrumentals could complete each other when they work together briefly#it all makes sense in my head I promise.. the vision is there
