Working Title: Theme Letter/Syllable: From YKTTW
Re: The Death Note entry, how does Near's name have an "L" or an "R" sound? Unless this troper is very much mistaken, and she doesn't think she is, his name was Nia in the original Japanese.
prescience: The Death Note entry falls under Alphabetical Theme Naming - this trope is about names having a common letter or syllable. Moving. Also, the "L" and "R" bit of the entry has nothing to do with the K, L, M, N sequence, so it is irrelevant.
