When cornered, Matt tries to put up another smokescreen. He is seen again during Takada's kidnapping, where he distracts her bodyguards with a smoke grenade, allowing Mello to abduct her. Matt then follows Mello to Japan in their pursuit. Matt makes another phone call to Mello after having let his guard down and losing track of Misa and Mogi, who used a delivery truck as a disguise to sneak out of the building. He informs Mello that the two have come out of a building and are having what appears to be a serious conversation. Later on, Matt calls Mello again, having been watching Mogi and Aizawa via camera.
Matt describes Misa as "cute" and states that her age appears to be anywhere from fourteen to twenty years old. Matt follows Misa and observes her shopping with Mogi, then calls Mello with his cell phone. Matt is first seen in the manga as Mello's accomplice in spying on Misa Amane and later, Mogi and Aizawa. Takeshi Obata described Matt's concept as a "young man who loves gaming and doesn't really care much about the world." Plot He enjoys and is often seen playing video games, and he dislikes going outside. Matt smokes cigarettes and is seen doing so even while driving. In the manga, Matt's hideout is shown to be littered with junk food and a box of cereal. He is confident, and his cockiness while monitoring multiple computer screens at once is what leads him to make a few mistakes. Matt is shown to have a dry sense of humor, asking, "Since when were the Japanese allowed to have such big guns?" while standing at gunpoint. His specialty is technology, and he is tasked by Mello to monitor the activities of Misa, Mogi and Aizawa. He is highly intelligent, known as the third smartest child at Wammy's House and the third successor to L. Matt is Mello's assistant and longtime friend who helps him with the Kira case. In the video game Death Note: Successor to L, Matt has blue-gray hair but otherwise looks the same, though his eyes are never visible.
He wears black gloves that reach just below the elbow and at times, a cream-colored, sleeveless vest with fur trim. In the anime, he is seen wearing a red and black striped long-sleeved top, blue pants, brown boots, and white goggles with amber-tinted lenses. So there’s that.Matt has brown hair and dark blue eyes. “I do expect to be disowned en masse by my family when I finally get around to telling them about my conversion, whereas I’ll still have furry friends. “By and large I would have to say that furries are among the most tolerant people one could hope to meet,” he said. … What it comes down to is everybody is willing to be themselves, and encouraging of other people finding themselves.”ĭwale, who converted to Islam in 2009, confirmed Gold’s assessment. Then you have to present that-you’re saying, ‘hey, this is me, who I am inside.’ … You can’t trust people enough to tell them these things about you if you’re not also going to be trustworthy when they tell you things about them. … I want to be big and tough, I’ll be a tiger or a wolf I’m small, I’ll be a mouse. And it makes you think about who you are, and what does that map to. “People are like, ‘what animal are you?’ which seems like a simple question. “It’s human enough that you recognize behaviors, but I’m not giving you background that has a lot of baggage associated with them.” And besides the distance that anthropomorphic characters provide, he said, the fandom is in general a welcoming place. “The furry characters give the world a little bit of a fantasy element,” Gold said. In fact, the furry fandom may be among the best possible communities to expand religious tolerance. The more people meet LGBTQ family or go bowling with furries, the harder it gets to regard them as other-and so novels like Gold’s may do the same for Islam. The key factor in expanding tolerance for queers and furries seems to be exposure.
