Just wondering about Light Yagami....*spoilers*

Post by Terejima Ryoko »

I know that Light is a university student shortly after the story starts. But does anyone know what He was Studying?

There's multiple statements that he wants to be a cop like his father. Take it from there.

Well, he still wanted to be a cop and fight for justice even after he obtained the Death Note, just that such power went too far in his head to the point of making a world where only the good people for him would live.

Technically he still believed in Justice, he just believed in Capital Punishment along with it!

So Light's a right-wing Republican? Thought so.

I don't think he's a GOP member, so much as a MURDERER!

Somebody doesn't see the value in World Correctional Intention. WCI = Better For Everyone! Light's a Psychocommi.

I love it when people make generalizations.
Instead of telling stupid political jokes, how 'bout limiting the discussion to Death Note?

Light Yagami was an idiot. I don't care how smart he was he had no common sense. "Yeah, lets stop people from killing each other by killing them."
L is by far the better of the two.

Light was by no means an idiot. Even if his idea was faulty, you can't fault his intellect for not working around a philosophical dilemma. Regardless of the ethical and moral concerns about Light's plans as Kira, you can't argue with the results. While he was killing people, crime did go down and war completely stopped. It resurged when he was stopped, but still.
