Is Minoru Tanaka better than Light Yagami? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! However, there will be spoilers for Death Note, including the new One Shot. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! First of all, I would like to clarify that I mean better in terms of morality. Whether he's a better character or not is purely subjective. So, is Minoru better than Light? Although Minoru was against using the Death Note himself, he wasn't against letting other people use it. Along with this, he didn't care what happened with the Death Note after he had sold it. On the other hand, Light was using it purely for his own goals. Even though he thought he was using it to better the world, he was also using it to get rid of anyone who stood in the way of his goal. Minoru may not have used it himself like Light did, but he did use it for his own benefit in a way. In selling the Death Note, Minoru used the notebook for monetary gain. Since he also didn't care what was done with it once it was sold, that means he just didn't want to use the Death Note for murder himself. Because of this, it's hard to say if Minoru really is better than Light Yagami or not. Even if Minoru didn't use the notebook himself, he also wasn't against letting someone else use it. These are mostly just my thoughts on this topic anyways, though. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Ryuk and Minoru below. Enjoy!
