Why does mello wear a rosary

His idol, L, was defeated like a mere mortal? L, the eccentric prodigy, died and we should all do as if nothing happened? He looked up to the man.

Refusing to endorse the role may be a form of respect. There will be no other L, the chain is broken. Mello refused to live in a lie and pretend that nothing happened to L, the man behind the letter.

Only L had the right to crown his successor. And L is dead. Maybe Mello turned to God at this very moment. In the Mafia, he had to kill, he had to get his hands dirty, even indirectly.

Light's goal was to deter criminals, making them scared ever to commit a criminal act again. Mikami, meanwhile, cared more about retribution, killing anyone who had a criminal record, no matter how reformed they were. Considering how dark a series Death Note is, it's somewhat surprising that Soichiro got to die a relatively happy death or as satisfied as one can be after being shot.

The reason he could rest easy is that he made the Shinigami Eye Deal with Ryuk, giving him the ability to see the lifespans of others. After seeing his, he dies knowing of his son's innocence, unaware that Light simply no longer had ownership over the Death Note he carried with him. Foreshadowing is a useful technique in storytelling, one that at times is thoroughly telegraphed, but in others, beautifully woven into the story.

Near had been established as smiling when things went his way throughout the series, something the final confrontation deftly snuck in. His smile here showed that he could see Ryuk and thus proving to himself that Light was Kira all along. It was a subtle thing that was washed over by admittedly great dialogue.
