| he should have fight with every leter of the alphabet-themed characters and maybe form a super sentai-like team himself to beat vwxyz |
 |
| I'm quite happy with Light's fate. Its everything leading upto it from L's death that I don't like But with that being said i would have been fine with him having the last laugh too |
| No, I think L should get him and whole L's successors arc shouldn't exist |
Huntik said: Absolutely not. It is the right conclusion; his name is written on the Death Note. Also because maybe, you, you will be fond of the character and that is the image that has impressed you the most. The manga ending is a lot better than the anime ending to be honest. |

How come? The manga ending was a more fitting end for Light |
|
| I am fine with Light losing but I hate how he lost and who he lost to. Everything after als death that build up to Lights loss was just awful. |

Near just wasn't a good enough character to replace L imo, almost everything involving him could have been improved. He wasn't likable like L was and didn't feel like someone who should be able to beat Light. If he'd been his own unique character like Mello instead of a mediocre L wannabe the second act would have been a lot better. |

Everything after als death that build up to Lights loss was just awful. After all the build up their rivalry got they could only lose to one another and not some random kid that showed up later. The only way to beat Light in a way that I would find satisfying, is to truly outsmart him and not beat him because he suddenly became an idiot and lost because of a coincidence. |
| I think Light should have won with the Death Note but I thought Death Note series should have ended once L lost. Would have been a unique ending hardly ever done (especially that I have watched) Would have been an instant top 3 favorite. Shame that didn't happen. |

| No, Death Note had a perfect ending. |
MechKingKillbot said: But I thought Death Note series should have ended once L lost. Like this would be better. Or my second likable ending would be L's vs Light Yagami rivarly all anime, and Light Yagami loses (and dies same way he did in actual ending of Death note). |
| Death Note is an allegory of the christian bible, so that ending is inevitable. Not sure a better ending could've been achieved unless going away from the planned chain of events. The 2nd half was done poorly though, for an allegory and overall. |

Yuan_Kinjiro said: I can assure you my comrade I do not respect Light, because his sense of justice is hypocritical. He vowed to cleanse the world of criminals, yet he became a criminal himself the moment he used the Death Note for the first time. "When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you." Well, my personal interpretation of Light is that he was never interested in making the world a better place to begin with but rather attracted to the idea of being the one who passes judgement, being feared and revered while also setting the standard for what is allowed to exist. His inherent egomania was in my opinion why he wanted to be like a god. Notice how he emphasized I many times when he was talking about "the greater good". "I am justice." "I will make a world of only those who I judged to be good people" etc. I found a lot of points, particularly from the manga that cohere with my interpretation. OT: While I love Light's character, I wouldn't want him to win after he got dumbed down in the second half. It wouldn't feel deserved. Oh and sorry I wasn't able to respond to you. I have my hands full half the time, being the senior year in high school and all. And the other half goes to watching anime lol |

| Yes Light should have won and killed Near |
| Yeah but isn't a new movie coming next year? I think Kira and CC will reunite again. |
| Out of all, I preferred live action's the most. In it, it was L who ultimately catches Light, and no Mello or other L successors were introduced. Also, I found live action ending more reasonable than anime and manga. EDIT:- I meant Japanese live action, not Netflix. |

EDIT:- I meant Japanese live action, not Netflix. The movie is not all that good, but I found story of the movie much better and suitable. Although, L gets the same fate as he did in anime, but in a more satisfying way. |

| What should have happened is that someone else got the death note and wrote that he died eating potato chips. |
UrbanSpaceman said: Funny, that's how the live-action movies endedNo, I think L should get him and whole L's successors arc shouldn't exist OT: I think the current ending was fine. |
    Summertime days, passing gentlySunlight, leading to an encounter; Dreams that don't want to end Continue onwards toward the next day While she waits in the air. |
| Near winning was stupid, I wanted for Light to win and then Ryuk writting his name because he was bored and Light's time was ending. |

| The whole Near/Mellow arc is when Death Note went downhill. I really loved the manga, but I can't score it perfect due to the drastic quality drop after L is no longer in the story. It wasn't because Light lost that is made it a bad ending. Like others said, this was inevitable from the start, considering how much he lost any thread of goodness due to the Death Note and his insatiable quest for power. It's definitely an issue of timing and character involved WHEN it happened. I really think this could have been a perfect 10 series overall if they shortened it and took out Near/Mellow completely. |
