Hard question to answer but I’d say no since he saw her more a spawn than anything else

@marvinat54 Currently 18-0 ... guess it wasn't that hard.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

In my opinion definitely no. At first he even said he uses her for his purposes. All the slight "romance" moments between that 2 seemed like it meant nothing to him.
It was a one sided love between that too.

Short Answer No, Long Answer: The “care” he showed was mostly strategic or self-serving. He valued her because of what she could do for him (using the Death Note, helping him avoid suspicion, being devoted). Occasionally he acted to protect her, but even then it was because it benefited him in some way, not out of genuine concern.

Maybe because of what happened in my country where a high school student killed a girl because he watch death note. There is a note in that kid backpack where he writes “soda boku ga kira da” and “I win”. And calling everyone npc. Now all the parents in my country will blame anime for this stupid cases πŸ˜”

Light is a psychopath...I believe they can't really care about other people and if they do it's mainly because they thought they could use them

Not at all. However, what I found interesting was that during the time he lost his memory and dreams of making justice/becoming the God of the "new world", it seemed to me as if he genuinely cared for her. Despite Kira being seemingly emotionless, that's just what the will to power made him. When normal, he had feelings for his family and probably others too.
Still, he doesn't have any romantic feelings for Misa or any other female in the series and has only used them to achieve his goals.
While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams.

I think it's obvious that no, Misa was just another piece in his game, he only cared about Shinigami's eyes

We literally heard him say that he was going to kill her if she didn't obey him, and the only reason why he didn't at that time was because Rem threatened him. And then when Rem died he only kept Misa around because he needed her Shinigami Eyes, and even when she lost them the second time he didn't kill her because it would've been too suspicious since Near and the Japanese Task Force began suspecting that Light was Kira, and also because he might've needed her to make another Shinigami Eye deal in the future. So him not killing her was out of convenience, not love.

Is this still a serious debate? I believe anyone who voted yes, has never watched the anime? I don’t remember it vividly as I watched all those years ago when it was first released. But anyone who can understand their relationship to an extent, it’s very clear he used her for his own personal gain. Did we forget he only accepted her feelings at first cause he wanted her death note. Let’s be real people!!
