ah.. death note.. its been almost half a year since i finished it.

 

[Cauzing]

Light definitely deserved to die lol. Lelouch isn't cold harded. Tho he is a hero and a protagonist. He is a better person that's what I meant.

pro·tag·o·nist:
\prō-ˈta-gə-nist\noun
1 a : the principal character in a literary work (as a drama or story)
b : a leading actor, character, or participant in a literary work or real event
2 : a leader, proponent, or supporter of a cause : champion

So Light is the protagonist. Was he good or evil? Only a foolish and naive person wouldn't think about it/give it a second thought, but i think that he was doing good, he was ridding the world of criminals--not criminals who have done petty crimes but murders and such.
I cant think of any other anime character that he reminds me of, maybe Sasuke (current-manga), Tobi/Madara, they have/are doing things for the "better".

i think he was doing good too due to all the crime rate going down effectively he was trying to make a peaceful world in his own way but murder is still murder apparently ,

yeah i think madara and tobi can resemble him in way

Light had all the advantage though. L is the one who put Light on blast and he's the the reason why Near and Mello were able to catch Light. L was ready to die in order to catch Kira...No matter how you think about it, in the end L was the true winner.

yes that is indeed true but dont forget light was always going against multiple enemies plus L had so much resouces and money and the cops all light had was the shinigami and knowlegde about it the rest came thanks to his wits ,

mellow and near did end up catching kira but it wasnt thanks to L it was thanks to mikami and luck and light being over confident that led to his demise , though technically L did win in the end due to light getting caught

Without L starting the whole thing Near and Mello would've never caught Kira. L was the one who suspected Light and even when Light gave the DN to someone else and stopped being Kira everyone else fell for it but L was still suspecting him.

Lets look at it like this...

L Had to find out who Kira was, how he was committing these murders. L had no idea it was a Death Note and he didn't know about the whole Shinigami deal either. He was able to expose Light and the Death Note. Dude started from scratch whereas Light had the advantage as he had the Death Note and he knew about the Shinigami and he was able to plan these murders to confuse people since he was the one actually committing them. If L never took the Kira case, Death Note would still be ongoing with Near and Mello trying to catch Kira.

 

[sasui]

well you can say he is mixed between "good and bad" not evil... his will was goodly but his methods were badly and i think the death note changes peoples mind from good to evil look how Light was when he discarded the death note and after he regained it.
so he is a protagonist who later becomes an antagonist.

those who resemble him may be:
Sasuke Uchiha:
wants to erase the uchiha from the rotten world and his laugh at the outskirts of the land of lightning was like light's.
Lelouch Vi Britannia:
mentally sick and keeps commanding people by his geass just like Light controlling people before their death.
Zeref:
wants to get rid of the current system in the fairytail world.
Izaya Orihara:
he loves making conflicts between two sides and likes to watch what happens and is a badlike guy although near the end it seems he is gay.

thats all i can remember.

 

[Six Paths of Logic]

Nope. L is boring.

L got the first move w/ the broadcast, and Light fell right into it (it made me lmao). Also because of L, Light had to kill outside of his goal (criminals), they were both playing a "game".

i think he was doing good too due to all the crime rate going down effectively he was trying to make a peaceful world in his own way but murder is still murder apparently ,

Started off the protagonist, couldn't really say what you would consider him when we saw L more, you could pick between antagonist and protagonist IMO.

He was an anti-hero though.

For me he is good, it's all whether you were pro or anti Kira.

The anime characters that remind the most about Light are.

Sora from No Game No Life
Lelouch from Code Geass
Shiro from Log Horizon

 

[EVlL]

he used to be the protagonist and then he became evil for what he's done. i got his thinking, his idea, but still he wasnt a god. he was never supposed to kill anybody. thats why he was evil because he killed people. only god who deserves to take lives.

 

[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

1 thing for sure, is that he let the book get the better of him and prevent him to find revelation.
Lelouch succeed in executing the part where Light fail miserably...

 

[Rekudakune]

i think light yagami was definetly the antagonist in the story, because death note was simply told in a 3rd person view and L wasent actually a protagonist either, but more of society vs antagonist type blend, the reason the reason light was introduced first, was to give the antagonist his own depth to the story, and who ever decided to think he was right for doing that, was going to remain loyal to light even after L was introduced.
light was evil in the story later on, because he started killing people that would desegree on his point of view or those who were commited of petty crimes, he was this justice genocide serial killer.

the most he probably reminds me is of no one, but again i will probably go with sasuke being my closest bet.

 

[Rιver]

He was always the protagonist. A protagonist is neither a good or bad character, it's always the leader or one of the main characters. Antagonist also is neither good or evil - only if the character opposes the protagonist, that character is the antagonist or one of them. Yagami Raito therefore was the protagonist, and L, Mello and Near were all antagonists, even though the protagonist side consisted of 'evil' and the antagonists 'good' in this case.

Yagami Raito himself wasn't evil, more like his methods were. His intentions were those of an ordinary citizen - criminals should be punished, although his was more dark. He started off as a good person with good intentions and his methods further corrupted him. His rationality washed away off him until he became a pure sociopath. Ironically, we can also mirror Kira and Yagami Raito perfectly; after Raito lost his memory, he opposed Kira and willingly helped both L and the police with his intelligence. After gaining memory, he went back to his old habits. We can see the morale gap between two, and it's enormous. Not only that, but it's also a bit of a contradiction, which should be obvious.

His ideology was not far from the truth, but as walked towards that path, the corruption started influencing his ideology later significantly. Quickly his motive and characteristics changed from shady vigilante to a corrupted vigilante with god complex. He wasn't evil, he turned insane. He couldn't accomplish his task, and would've never been able to even if he lived for longer.​

For me, Light with the Death Note was always pretty much a bad guy. Immediately from episode one to me, his intentions were shown: Not to free the world of criminals necessarily, but to become God of his "New World." Killing criminals is the method.

He wants to have reign over the world right from the start, and becoming "justice" is how he wishes to achieve that.

If I believed his intention was to simply rid the world of criminals and clean up the world, then I would think otherwise of him. But he wants power and dominion. Calling himself justice is the method to attain that.

Straight up a textbook Lawful Evil if you will, at least that is my opinion.

The most like him, I would say is Lelouch. Lelouch rides a very grey line morally, but it's mostly in their "fighting style" and their change the world attitude that makes them so similar. Lelouch isn't even close to as arrogant as Light, but they both go through moments of insanity, mistakes, and strategic power plays.

I think he's stupid. His plans were dumb and there were a lot of better options.
