The thing is, when Light lost his memories he became a very sweet nice boy. So if that's how he'd been before losing his mind because of the power the death note gave him, then his family had always known him as a good kid and it's normal that they didn't suspect him. But they should've noticed later that he's gone through some major personality change. His behaviour with and without memories was so different.

[@_salmoose_]

YES, OH MY GOD Comparing no-Note-Light and Kira-Light is so heartbreaking!

[@user-i9z]

Without the Death Note, Light probably would have led a good life and actually enacted positive change. He had connections in the police/government, was extremely intelligent, and had a strong desire for justice. I imagine he would've been able to put those all to good use if he'd just had more time to mature. I even think that, if he'd been in his mid 20's or more when he picked up the notebook, he wouldn't have become Kira, having grown out of the cynicism inspired by teenage angst and loneliness. Hell, if he'd just been friends with L (an equal that can squash any sort of budding superiority complex) at the beginning, I don't think he'd have become Kira either. Bless this anime for being a comedy, a tragedy, and a romance (optional) at the same time.

[@АлексейКазаков-и5ц]

1. Light brought the positive change. Rates of crime in the whole world were as low as ever. It just was done by killing people secretly, which is not okay in itself. But that's much more than any person working in police could achieve. 2. L's influence is not that good. He was mostly interested in his own entertainment. And Niah with Mello grew up pretty ruthless. One became mafia, another one stopped being a detective because it's lame, I think. So... Light would be better without knowing them probably. He wasn't even obsessed with justice that much and didn't seem to aim for particular career until he realized he has the power above all.

[@Chronoflation]

Yeah, they definitely weren't paying attention. That said, I don't think it was the power that changed him. I think it was the fact that the death note was real and he tested it out to see if it worked. His test killed people, and good boy Light Yagami is no murderer. The only way he could justify it to himself was to double down on how executing those criminals was a good thing, then he just spiraled from there. He basically just had a mental breakdown and losing his memories of the death note removed his memories of murdering anyone, thus removing his need to justify murder to himself. After all, when he lost his memories, he found the murders of Kira abhorrent. The entire concept disgusted him. But with the knowledge that it was him, he had a contradiction in his mind and he couldn't accept himself as having done something he deems evil, this his evil acts had to be good. It was the only way his mind could accept what he did

[@vexzel5550]

I wouldn't say through neglect or lack of affection is what turned him into a psychopath. His own God complex did the moment he was given God-like powers - the death note. (I wouldn't even say he was a psychopath, because when it comes to the supernatural and God the rules don't apply the same as they do for normal humans. Like Ryuk isn't a psychopath, he's just doing his job when he writes names in the death note. Light would be a psychopath if he was killing people without the death note.) Light is sheltered, but heavily supported by his loving and honest family. His sister deeply respects him. His mother respects him. His father respects him. His classmates and teachers respected him. Top of Japan in academics. Athletic. Good looking. Sociable. Has no criminal record. Without the death note Light Yagami would of been a high ranking police/detective Eventually surpassing even L. (As seen when his memories of being Kira were wiped and he returned to innocent Light. Who's deductive skills were on par or close to L even at the young age of 17) It was destiny though not being chosen that he would find the Death Note. He genuinely wanted the world to change. He was given the powers to and he acted on it. Everyone is evil so once he cleaned up the world either he'd be the only one left or the only one left that's evil. He would only be God of the world for as long as he lived. Everyone would live in fear of him. He also would also need to live in constant fear of being killed or discovered or the death note taken from him. He'd also need someone like him or greater to inherit the Death Note. (Which throughout time those who'd inherit would change the world in their image to where it's nothing like how Light wanted it to be because they aren't him.)

Let's keep in mind how many businessmen / ppl in power are psychopaths who mostly have no violent criminal record, or any at all.

He has morals and he most likely would of been a officer/detective like his Father. Possibly eventually surpassing L as Light was on par or close in intelligence and deductive skills to L at the young age of 17. Light + the death note, a supernatural item Allowed light to use it's abilities to the full extent of what they were capable of. Had he succeeded He would of been God of the world And the world would reflect his image Meaning he made the rules and law And by his definition He was right He was justice He was good And in his world there would be those who believe what he did was good. (And those who disagree, but would be scared to oppose him unless they had the ability to oppose him (like their own death note) and establish another new order to the world. In the world light was born in If he had psychopathic traits or even acted on them without the death note He'd be a psychopath. While the death note slowly corrupted him from "the original world he was born into" perspective Had he achieved his goals From "the world he created using the death note" everything he did was right and needed to have been done to change the world and define it how he believe was the way it should be. The death note is a supernatural tool Light with this supernatural tool was given supernatural God like abilities to influence his world From a person's perspective without the death note Light is good Kira is evil Kira is good Kira is a necessary evil From light's perspective without the death note (innocent Light) Kira is evil From light's perspective with the death note Light/Kira is God and justice. We don't know if there's a original God in death note though Heaven and Hell are mentioned so we can assume the Christian God is the God of their world From the Christian's God's perspective Light is a sinner Kira is evil for killing Kira is almost a second personality that was born due to the supernatural tool the death note (Establishing again Light only showed "psychopathic traits" 'after' coming in contact with the supernatural tool the death note.) Which is why it's almost possession when Light regains his memories of Kira. But yeah In short It's all about perspective And there's factors to consider especially when dealing with the supernatural

Honestly I always assumed he was giggling mostly during the hours when no one was home. One of the things Death Note is about is the atomization of the modern Japanese family; Light's the oldest and the only boy, so he gets his own room so he can focus on keeping his grades up, so he can go to one of the big three universities. His dad is barely home because of the extra hours that are expected of a Japanese man in a leadership position, his sister has her own shit going on because normal Japanese middle schoolers are supposed to be active in school clubs and studying on their own to get into a good high school, and his mother wants to respect his privacy because he's a good boy who's doing everything he's supposed to do and has never given her cause for worry before. If they'd been less polite and distant with one another, Light wouldn't have grown up to be such an alienated disrespectful cunt.

You have a really good point. Japanese culture prioritizes school/work over family and friendships, and being considered a model student and favored by everyone from a young age made a small but present superiority complex in Light, one that just escalated after finding the Death Note

[@spehizle]

Light was so incomprehensibly lucky. -First, his father was the goddamn chief of police. Not even just a cop or a detective or even a lieutenant/sergeant. Chief of the NPA. -Second, his father stores all of his private, confidential, sensitive information on his home PC. Unencrypted, not password protected, not airgapped, sharing the same network as all the other devices at home. Seriously, that alone should have gotten Soichiro fucking demoted if not fired, Kira investigation or not. -Third, Ryuk just so happens to have an addiction to apples and is easily bribed by Light into helping his cause. An invisible, intangible, autonomous sidekick who can scout, investigate, and spy for you for the price of a few yen at a grocery store. -Fourth, not one but TWO women just fall ass-first into his life and immediately devote themselves to serving his every whim and desire without any personal input or qualms of their own. -Fifth, he's apparently so naturally intelligent that he can get into a prestigious university without needing to study or prepare at all. And win top honors with a perfect score. -Sixth, he fuckstumbles directly into Naomi Misora who is apparently both a brilliant detective motivated to solve her husband's murder at the hands of a supernatural serial killer...and also so completely stupid as to start sharing all of her information (which she knows is an insane risk) with a complete stranger in a foreign country which is HOME TO THE SERIAL KILLER YOU'RE HUNTING, WHO ALSO HAS A RABID CULT OF DEVOTED FOLLOWERS. And finally, Seventh. He can apparently monologue and shout as a teenager at home with a stay-at-home mom, a younger sister, and a goddamn police chief dad without anyone noticing anything. With that kid of luck and those kind of advantages, the fact Light fucked up so completely thoroughly is hysterical.

[@dylanzlol7293]

about the sixth one, im pretty sure that it isnt that simple, The audience may know that kira is light yagami, but it isnt so obvious in-universe, first of all, Light Yagami had worked with the police before in the past, so its not like he's just some random joe on the street. Light also has a lot of charisma so he doesnt really come off as weird, and misora wasnt feeling well either, while she would def not kill herself, Her emotions were in fact affecting her job. Light simply took advantage of her, And besides, its not like she trusted Light right away. It took Light a lot of effort to get her name.
