@morpheus, I have to disagree. Near was essentially just a clone of L, but even so there were still differences, like his morals were a lighter shade of gray than L's. Near isn't willing to sacrifice people to move ahead like L was. Even the way he perceives crime is somewhat different. L did it for the challenge, while Near did it to complete it, like a game. Ulquiorra didn't take the events of the Arrancar Arc as a game but was more interested in understanding his prey (like L tried to get into Kira/Light's head) and he isnt above killing the weak and injuring others. So that's why most say Ulqui is like L... well I doubt everyone thinks through as much as I did there though lol
