Though Lidner and Mello weren't seen together much after that, they still helped each other and she was the saddest when he died.
While Near sat on the sidelines for the majority of the series, he learned a lot from Mello. However, he never expected Mello to use him. He had Near question Mogi while they were on the phone so Mello could hear the conversation without risking his life.
Due to Mogi refusing to answer Near's questions, this seemed to have been pointless at first. However, Near was able to convince Mogi and Aizawa of the possibility that Kira was Light, which turned out to be very useful in defeating the killer. When Soichiro hesitated to write Mello's name in the notebook, Mello used explosives that were in the mafia's hideout to get away.
Though he killed Soichiro and escaped, Mello was also injured. The scar on his left eye became one of his most notable features while foreshadowing his death by fire and representing the half of L that Near could never be. He was Mello's only true friend and worked closely with him. When the two kidnapped Takada, he was shot to death. However, he wouldn't have to wait long to be reunited with his best friend as Takada would burn Mello, killing him.
Though Matt didn't appear in the series for long, fans learned that he loved playing video games and had a crush on Misa. Despite their rivalry, Mello would rather aid Near than Kira. When he learned about Near's plan, he kidnapped Takada in order to help him. If it weren't for this, Mikami would not have gone to the bank two days in a row to take out his notebook and Near wouldn't have made a replica of the weapon.
If it weren't for Mello's death, Near and everyone else that went to the Yellow Box Warehouse would have died. Near honors Mello's memory by eating chocolate and acknowledging that he would have lost if it weren't for the only other person worthy of becoming the next L.

Mello is shocked and angered by the news. He is told that L failed to choose either him or Near as a successor. Roger tries to persuade them to work together, but while Near is willing, Mello refuses, pointing out that they never get on and that in terms of knowledge and ability, Near is always ahead of him no matter how hard he tries.
Calmly and methodically, Mello himself states that Near should be the successor, and he soon after runs away from Wammy's House, determined to find Kira his own way. Sometime after leaving the orphanage, Mello goes to America, where, three years after running away, he joins forces with Rod Ross , a leading Mafiosi. He proves his worth by destroying mob bosses whom even Kira could not identify, and his advice proves invaluable to Ross, who is persuaded to help Mello claim the Death Note.
Ratt keeps Mello informed of the SPK's plans. When Takimura is killed, an action Mello recognizes as one of Kira's possible murders, Mello realizes that Kira potentially has access to police information. He then forces Soichiro to come to the USA and hand over the Death Note, which is placed in a missile that cannot be tracked by radar.
The missile crashes into the ocean, and the Mafia are able to obtain the Death Note before the authorities can trace it.
During these events, Mello communicates with Soichiro while eating chocolate, a fact that is passed on to Near—Mello's intention being to show his rival that he has beaten him an obtained the Death Note first.
Shortly after, Mello has a member of the Mafia write down the names of almost every member of the SPK, not only to severely hinder Near's investigation and reduce the number of his resources, but also to kill the spy within the SPK should Near plan on getting to Mello through the spy. Mello again contacts Soichiro and threatens to use the Death Note to kill him and Sayu unless he passes on information, such as the real name of the current L, who is Soichiro's son Light Yagami.
The Kira Task Force manages to gain a reprieve by telling Mello that the new L is Touta Matsuda but that he just acts on the instructions of the other members and is not the real brains of their operation.
Mello sees the Task Force as next to useless because of how little progress they have made since L's death and, recognizing that Matsuda is indeed not the person issuing orders, does not kill him.
Mello contacts the president, David Hoope , and blackmails him into granting Mello access to satellite surveillance, weapons, funds, and information on the SPK. After learning the SPK has narrowed his hideout to four locations, Mello moves. Meanwhile, the Shinigami Sidoh , who is the original owner of the Death Note Mello now possesses, also finds out Mello's location and is able to get there first. Appearing before the Mafiosi, the monstrous Sidoh causes them to panic in horror. Only Mello stays calm and his cool attitude and hard stare unnerves even the Shinigami, and bargains with Sidoh, instructing him to guard the hideout in case of an attack by the SPK.
Sidoh reveals to Mello that two rules in the Death Note—including the one stating that the user dies unless he kills someone every thirteen days—are fake. Mello begins to theorize that Kira probably used that rule to fool the Japanese police into thinking he was innocent which is what happened.
Light uses another Death Note to make Neylon mail him the Mafia's location. Taking advantage of Mello contacting the president, Light sends a US Army Special Forces team led by Yitzak Ghazanin to raid the Mafia hideout, but it is foiled when Sidoh helps Mello and his accomplices escape and all the US Army Special Forces team are killed except one, who later commits suicide after biting down on a cyanide pill hidden in his tooth.
The Mafia is tracked down again, however, and this time raided by the Kira Task Force led by Soichiro Yagami , who currently possesses Shinigami Eyes after making the eye deal with Ryuk. As the raid commences, all but two of the Mafia members die, which leads Mello to suspecting that Kira is behind the attack.
He has the remaining two gangsters guard the notebook. However, the Task Force manage to capture them and regain the notebook. Mello reveals to the Task Force that he has the entire hideout rigged with explosive, which allows him to demand that the Task Force destroy the cameras on their helmets, drop their weapons, and have one of its members enter the room Mello is in while bringing a mask and the notebook, which leads to a tense showdown between Soichiro and Mello.
Although he has a Death Note and can see Mello's real name, Soichiro, a principled man and upstanding law officer, gives his enemy every opportunity to surrender, only to be shot at and fatally injured by another Mafiosi who was later shot by Touta Matsuda. Shuichi Aizawa holds Mello at gunpoint, again demanding that he surrender, but Mello detonates the bombs, survives the explosion, and escapes.
He is left badly scarred along the left side of his face above his mouth; the gas mask he was wearing at the time protected the rest of his face. Mello makes his way to New York where he hides out in the home of Halle Lidner , an SPK member, who keeps him up to date with Near's latest theories concerning the Kira case. Lidner wants Kira captured and appears to believe that Mello and Near are both needed for this to happen, even if they fail to work together.
Mello later forces his way into the SPK HQ while holding Lidner at gunpoint, intending to retrieve the one existing photograph of himself from Near. When Near states that Mello has actually been a big help in his own investigation, Mello becomes enraged and turns his gun on Near, saying that he isn't a tool Near can use to solve a puzzle. Near is unfazed by being held at gunpoint and even goes so far as encouraging Mello to shoot him. Seriously tempted, Mello is talked into lowering his weapon by Lidner, who steps in front of the gun and warns him that shooting Near will only result in him being killed by the other SPK members, leaving Kira victorious since he would be rid of the only persons capable of matching him and bringing him down.
Mello receives his childhood photo from Near, which has "Dear Mello" written on the back. Near gives Mello the photograph. In return, Mello tells him about the Shinigami and the fake Death Note rules. As Mello leaves, each wryly promises the other that the race is on to see who finds Kira first. This meeting between the two successors has a profound impact, as the information Near receives from Mello drastically sharpens Near's suspicion of Light Yagami.
Thinking that Near and Mello are actually in league with each other, Mogi refuses to talk, but Near and Mello's subsequent conversation over the phone and other events lead Mogi and Aizawa to suspect that Light Yagami may be Kira after all, though they hesitate, since it is based on trusting Mello, a sworn enemy, and his claims about the fake rules.
Aizawa eventually meets Near and reveals more information regarding the Death Note. Near gets Lidner to pass this info on to Mello, except for the fact that he has now identified Light Yagami as the new L and the prime suspect for Kira. Mello has now been joined by Matt , another boy from Wammy's House. Based on the information passed on by Lidner, Mello guesses that Misa is the Second Kira , though she strikes him as so feather-brained that it is hard to believe Kira ever willingly employed her.
However, he also concludes for himself that her boyfriend, Light Yagami, is L. Misa and the Task Force return to Japan where the police detectives intend to investigate Kiyomi Takada , a TV presenter who has been made Kira's new spokesperson.
