Talk:Light Yagami

hero or villain?
protagonist!? Screw that! He's more of an antagonist!!! gohanRULEZ 06:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter wether he is the hero or the villain of the story, but the fact that everything is told from his point of view makes him the protagonist. An antagonist is not always a villain, but simply someone who opposes the main character. Therefore Light would be more of a protagonist despite the fact that he may (or may not) be the villain of the story. Yoyoddd 21:16 (UTC)

Um shouldn't we make an extra page on the mantle of kira??? Because when i type kira it come's up here. I think we should have a page about being kira.AyyamS 03:12, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

the whole "from your viewpoint of justice" thing is unneccessary, as it does not influence the character in the slightest. he is the protagonist, and he is an anti-hero, by definition. your view of justice does not change the fact he seeks his view of justice in the manner of an antihero.

Personally, I don't see why people hate Light so much. I mean sure he's evil as Kira, but I bet a lot of those people would go on a psycho killing spree too. MasterTDI

well hes obbviously the protoganist because hes the lead charecter

Guys, he's not an antihero, he's a villain protagonist.

Bugs?
Could someone please fix the encoding stuff? Most of the character pages are engulfed in copies of the same wallpaper. --RadicalEdward2 03:06, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Khh!
Light never said he was God. He said he would become the god of the new world. There's quite a difference lads.

Actually, he later states that he IS God, and that no one can defy him. Mikazuki 18:08, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

same seiyuu and english voice actor to Setsuna F. Seiei
Coincedentally, both Light's Japanese and English voice actors have also voiced Gundam 00 character Setsuna F. Seiei. Light's Japanese voice actor, Mamoru Miyano, has also won the "Best voice actor award" for this role. At the same time Light and Setsuna are voiced by Brad Swaile.

Light's crucifix position
Anyone noticed how often Light makes this position?

Maybe not noteworthy to be added to the trivia, but I just thought it was interesting enough to point out. xD



It is noteworthy, go on and add it to the trivia

Also, Light stays very athletically fit (maintaining a BMI of 17.1) and all he does is sit in his chair.

Well he barely ate so...

There are actually many other pictures of Light in this position apart from those listed above; because this alludes to his goal of becoming the God of the 'New World'. E.g. in the manga artwork before some chapters, the Death Note Volume 6 cover, AND the first anime opening ('The World' by Nitemare) where they show him in biblical-inspired artwork.

Raito = Light?

Raito = Laito = Lait = Light

L is represented as a R in japan. Lait also sounds like Light.

Funny fact: Yagami is backwards Imagay

I can't believe Light died *sobs*
I know... Close to the end, I kind of wanted him to die. He clearly had became evil throught the manga. Like he didn't seem to really care about people anymore, like not caring about the death of his father and just randomly thinking about killing Misa... Right at the end it made me sad again though. I probably wouln't have if they hadn't shown him all young and trying to help the word. And his manga death was so unpleasant... He deserved it, it's still sad though... His death in the anime made me sad too :( I think it was mostly seeing L. I wonder if they could be friends? They wouldn't have to be enemies anymore, since the trial thing is over... Sorry for rambling ^_^ Mai Is Me (talk) 05:52, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Intelligence
Could be Light's intelligence lower than L ? I have some reasons by demanding this :

Light had luck with these gods of death, Ryuk , and also used Rem to kill L and Watari , instead of L who hadn't a help like that and still could locate him and deduced that is Kira (he always know that Light is Kira but he couldn't prove this)

He just used Misa who is a mindless person, to kill them.

The intelligence attribute isn't something assigned by evaluating Light Yagami. It was sourced from the databook.

Dremler 03:45, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Light is more intelligent than L: if you think about it, it required L, Watari, Mello AND Near to defeat Light Yagami. Even Near said he nor Mello alone could have surpassed L to defeat Light. Also, he didn't have luck with the shinigami...Ryuk refused to help him and many of th Death Note rules were discovered by Light HIMSELF (e.g. the rules about ownership).

And honestly, Misa was way more of a hindrance to Light than a help. It was because of her carelessness that led to L suspecting she was the Second Kira (e.g. talking about the notebooks and shinigami; her fingerprints etc.) which caused more trouble for Light- such that he had to formulate a plan to go into confinement and save himself. Thus, considering that Light was virtually alone in having to overcome all these, and that it took so many individuals to bring him down (not forgetting that the Task Force and SPK were also against Kira and Light also had to deal with them), he's more intelligent than both L and Near.

?
is light good or bad?

Gokuzko 19:33, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

That's really a matter of opinion, but I personally think that by the end of the story he's bad. Crime rates dropped and many criminals were killed, but that came with a price: the world's freedom & Light's sanity. MarleneZ.    Talk 04:28, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Light's Quote
This quote should be added to Light's Page: "This is the first time in my life, that I've been provoked to hit a woman"

Height
He's 178cm, which means he's 5'10.

HE'S NOT 178 CMS!!! FIX THAT, HE'S AS TALL AS L, WHO IS 173 CMS!!! AntiAlexielXD (talk) 21:13, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

intelligence
Light's intelligence should be rated 10/10, as he is L's nemesis.
