What is the meaning of justice in Death Note? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There may be some spoilers in this post though, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! So, what does justice really mean in Death Note? The concept of justice is mentioned quite a few times throughout the series, and the word is usually used by either L or Light. However, these two characters both have very different views on what justice really is or what it should be. Along with this, both characters are guilty of even declaring themselves to be justice. Although there is never a clear definition of justice in the series, the concept of justice appears quite frequently. Since there isn't supposed to be a clear line between right and wrong in the series, that means there isn't going to be one solid definition for justice either. Justice is different for each and every character, which can be seen with characters like Misa, L, and Light. For example, justice for Misa is when Kira killed the murderer who killed her family, justice for Light is a world without evil, and justice for L is catching especially bad criminals (or Kira in particular). But, this doesn't mean this would be what justice is for the other characters in the series. Because of this, the definition of justice in Death Note will be different for everyone. So, there can never be just one clear-cut meaning of justice for the series. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, here's a picture of L and Light fighting. Enjoy!
