Was Light Yagami really a bad guy in Death Note? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There will be spoilers in this blog post though, so proceed with caution! Now then on with the post! So, was Light Yagami a bad person? Some people may say he is, and others will say he isn't. The Death Note series never wanted to outright say what was right and wrong either, and it would rather have people have their own thoughts on the matter. When we're talking about Light, there are a lot of things both for and against his actions. Of course he had good intentions, since he wanted to rid the world of evil. But that doesn't mean he went about it the right way. Although he killed criminals, some of the criminals could have been wrongly convicted. Along with this, he sure wasn't helping anyone in the eyes of the families of the victims. He also didn't help Naomi Misora or the 12 FBI agents he killed. All of their families had to needlessly suffer as well. He also caused a lot of death and destruction of others when he loaned the Death Note out to other people. For example, Yotsuba used the Death Note to wipe out their competition. Even though he isn't responsible for this directly, he did do it to get the police off of his tracks. So although Light started out with good intentions, I believe the power of the Death Note made him eventually become part of the evil that he was trying to destroy. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this subject anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, here's a random picture of Light. Enjoy!
