It's time for yet another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about one of the most tragic characters in Death Note. There's some major spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! In a series like this, it's usually easy to pick out a tragic character. Some people pick L or Light, but I personally believe Sachiko Yagami is the one who suffers the most. Sachiko is Light's mother, and she went through a lot. She spent years worrying for her husband during the Kira case, she took care of her family mostly alone while her husband was at work, and in the end she suffered alone. Her daughter was never the same after the trauma she endured, she lost her husband in the line of duty, and she even lost her son; leaving only her and her broken daughter. This is all because her son, who she loved and raised, wanted to play god. His complete disregard for human life caused his whole family to suffer, and he didn't care at all that his mother was left alone in the end. Light acts like his family is the only thing he really loves, but at the end it's hard to say if he's ever loved anything at all. Leaving his own mother sad, defeated, and alone; all because he wanted to live out his pathetic fantasies. It really is quite tragic. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I know some people may disagree with me, but I truly believe Light's mother was one of the most tragic characters in the series. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post.
