  The 'he was right' takes always come from people who assume they'd be holding the notebook, not under it.

  Crime statistics dropped worldwide and you're telling me he was the bad guy? The results don't lie even if you're scared of them.

  Best villain protagonist ever written. The fact this thread is split down the middle proves how good the writing is.

  L was the actual hero and he died because Light couldn't stand losing. Ego, not justice.

  Anyone defending Kira would be the first person Kira deletes for jaywalking. Be so for real.

  The potato chip scene is peak anime and I won't hear otherwise.

  Light is what happens when a straight-A kid who's never been told no gets unlimited power. Terrifyingly realistic.

  The genius of Death Note is that Light is charismatic enough that part of you roots for him while he becomes a monster. Gets you every time.

  Reducing real justice to 'whoever I personally think is bad dies' is the entire warning. People miss it because Light is hot and smart.

  Light went from 'idealist cleaning up the world' to 'killing anyone who inconvenienced him' in about four episodes. That's the whole point. He was never right.

  Absolute power, no oversight, deciding who lives based on his own judgment. That's not a god, that's the most dangerous man alive.

  Near winning felt cheap to me. Light should've gone out at the top, not outsmarted by a kid with toys.
