Light: pls tell me why? am i a saviour meant to save us all? Ryuk: lol nah i’m just bored

[@huskiehuskerson5300]

Light was a badass though.

[@TheFlames376]

ryuk is a stand in for the audience, in a way we are the sick and depraved ones. we watched all of this death and mayhem unfold, weve watched betrayal and countless tragedies before us. But in essence why did we do it? because WE were bored. we wanted to be entertained. The show acts as a sort of socratic dialogue between Light and Ryuk. Light wants to rid the world of criminals and evil and replace it with "People whom ive judged to be kind, honest and hardworking" to which Ryuk replies "Then you would be the only bad person left" its about justice, or more subversively, what IS justice? Light is an ends justify the means kind of guy but L? thats his foil. L belives in ridding the world of Injustice wherever it may shine its ugly head. In the show, where L personifies himself in the form of Lind L. Tailor on the news program, he states that "What you are doing is wrong" to Light. That through this, Light is acting unjustly, putting the power of judge jury and executioner on his mantle. furthermore, he states that not only is kira unjust, but that taking down Kira is its own form of justice. From this we can garner that L's form of justice isn't set on any specific principle or teaching. Its the pursuit of defeating injustice is justice in of itself. It isnt to rid the world of any specific evil or philosophy, rather as a reaction to injustice. its more practical to point out injustices that occur rather than a broad definition of what is just. He sees justice as a reponse to injustice. L takes the form of inquisitor with this role, as an ambiguous argument against Kira.

No Light Yagami was just a murder and the Death Note proved to be the most dangerous weapon of mass murder in human history.

So it only seems fitting that the music would be made to match it But that’s just my opinion, what do you all think?

that's kinda the point tho

[@Blah894]

I think that refers to Light's flawed logic that the ends (making the world a better place) would justify the means (murder) despite it being wrong in of itself. It eventually drove him to insanity as he continued to rationalize his increasingly irrational behavior to himself without a care for how far things had escalated until it was too late.

[@nixian_zwaylus]

@@Blah894 i have to disagree. what he didn't realise is that using the notebook and killing people will corrupt him (and have addictive aspects as well). effectively removing bad people from the world isn't inherently bad, or at least not as black and white as usually stated. light started his journey to help people, but ended up killing alot of good-hearted people for very light crimes (and potentially mistakes) or eventually just for his comfort.

What I like about Death Note is that it makes you wonder, is Light a good guy, or is he a bad guy? I know that in the current world, he is considered a villain, but that's only because the world we currently live in has decided that such actions are evil. But what he had succeeded in creating a new world, then maybe such actions would have been considered good.

[@SkittlesInYourHand]

"If we catch Kira, he is evil. If he wins and rules the world, then he is justice." - Light Yagami

[@Lupinemancer87]

My point exactly!

[@null8036]

that's the point is, the moral and history is dictated by the winner same as with what happen if ww1 won by central power or ww2 won by axis? the point i took from that is the moral between right or wrong maybe subjective to everyone but can be heavily influenced by the greater power or figure in your community thus resulting "The history dictated by the winner" because no one will disagree with the winner. tho it is only heavily influenced, the personal experience will make you to choose whether to go with the flow or make your own moral compass

Hello! I'm Korean who loves Death Note. I saw this anime so many times, love that song, characters and all of it! I listen this song few months ago and now. Whenever I listen it, it always good! I think this version is perfect same as original version😍 I always supporting you, so please keep going to make good songs for all your supporters! Thank you for reading this comment♥ (I'm not good at English... Please Forgivingness! Sorry😂😂😂)

[@Vgamer311]

I honestly wasn't blown away by death note, but light was one of the most well-developed and believable villains I've ever come across, and this song perfectly illustrates why. He truly believes that he is the good guy, and the audience isn't just told this, but they follow his journey into darkness every step of the way, and we really understand why he becomes who he is.

[@monokumathedumbass6114]

"Like a flower, dark and blooming from my love, not light!" I think there's a deeper meaning behind that, I think it means Light is no longer....well...Light. Kira, sees himself as an innocent flower while spreading his dark 'love' (death) around the world. Or, it means he was a flower, blooming from the love of innocent people, and killing those who shared the same darkness as him, but he sees himself as pure despite being no better from them. Hm....nah, I'm looking too far into this lol

When you sing "they want an end, a curtain call" for the second time, I feel like you could replace it with "they want a dream, a paradise" to match better with the original japanese lyrics, but that's just me.

[@Iskaid]

And the last "with shining sky" should be "with a shining world"

[@eyelandss]

@@Iskaid the curtain call fits light more than a paradise because he knows something like that doesn't exist

[@Iskaid]

@@eyelandss I'm not saying it matches light, but the song itself says: Why am I a broken Messiah? The "end" which everyone wanted and then Why am I a broken Messiah? The "paradise" which everyone dreamed of It doesn't really matter if it matches Light Yagami knowledge that Heaven and Hell don't exist, he was making the world a "paradise" which all the honest, hardworking people dreamed of.

[@oliviathomet8337]

The lyrics to this song can be taken 2 different ways. If you don’t know what this is from, you may think it’s from the perspective of a hero, being selfless to save everyone. But when you know it’s about Light, it completely changes the feel of the song. Instead of being heroic and selfless, it’s self righteous and slightly sociopathic. Especially the lyric “please tell me why; am I a savior, meant to save us all?” It’s not a desperate cry, but Light’s brain slowly twisting into the mastermind he turns out to be. It gave me chills
