You might be a psychopath or something if you root for Kira because of his actions. What are your views about it?

I always rooted for L but it looks like there are some people who root for Kira just because it appears to be more «likeable» in terms of body and intelligence.
Nevertheless, I guess L is even more intelligent than Kira because we should keep in mind how he needed to sacrifice Misa Shinigami just to kill L

The show revolves around Kira and always shows what he is thinking, so of course the viewer will like him more.

As long as he is handsome anything he does is morally justified

You dont have to be a Psychopath for this.

What he did wasn't wrong, his goals and action are actually good for the World and no one can deny it. Its of course not right what he did in the view of Justice, but if a person has to make his hands dirty for a bigger Good, then its worth it.

BUT light lost his goals after half of the show and got corrupted, he wasn't someone who wanted to bring balance. He became what he wanted to destroy in the first place. Or.. did he became something what he actually was all the time and stopped finding excuses for his acting? Who knows?

I root for Kira.Light said in first episode that he is willing to throw his humanity in order to make his plan work.What we saw in this show is him throwing his humanity and using his brain to become a “God of a new world”.Crime dropped drastically and people were afraid of him.World is a better place and only thing he did was throwing his morals.Heroic in wierd and generic way if you ask me.Innocent people died but that is more real then classical shounen where character turns villains good and makes everybody in his friend...

I don't root for Kira but I root for Light Yagami. I think of them as two different people. Light is the one before he got the notebook and when his memory of being Kira was erased.

Light only killed Criminals who were broadcasted on TV, what about the criminals who never got caught? and there are millions of other crimes like corruption, race, and gender problems, what about those? The world never became a good place. In the end ignorant mass win.

Light was in police he had a list and watch show they even said Kira killed sometimes even suspects and people on run,people who even do secret corruption probably got scared enough to be more cautious and less greedy.I would be scared to steal candy from baby if I live in world where every criminal gets killed.Criminal rates dropped and they said it in anime,even economy was influenced in better way in course of 4 years.He was a psycho in the end because he couldn’t carry the burden and lost his way in the end but whole L arc I was rooting for Light to kill him.

You missed the point i think. Kira didn’t make the world better by killing some criminals. Sure in the beginning he killed only serious criminals but no one knew when he would decideto kill people who commotted lesser crimes. Should they die also? In the end everyone was afraid of Kira not just the criminals. Would you want to live in this “better” world?

His idea of getting rid of criminals could be justified as moral, if you see something such as the death penalty moral than I suppose his actions would also be moral. Sadly he spirals from wanting to make the world “clean” to wanting to be a god. IMO it’s pretty easy to route for him at the beginning but very quickly you realise ‘o damn this boy a little bit crazy’

Because everyone who had this power would be corrupted by it. You definitely would turn to someone despicable, if you could kill anyone that bothers you, it’s the beauty of seeing light with good intentions getting corrupted by this power. All in all I can’t hate him, cause I know everyone with this ability would turn to a demon in the end, including you and me.

Why would I be afraid if I did nothing.If i did something living in fear of being killed is a punishment for me,and if that thing is big enough then I deserve to die.World is overpopulated no place for scum,criminals and corruption.Less people more money,less criminals=safer world for kids to live in.Simple idea,he lost his track in the end but i rooted for him in first 30 episodes.

I totaly understand that you want to punish killers and rapists. But you can also commit a crime by mistake. And what hapens when you are falsely accused and then get in the record where finds you. And do you really think that everyone who commits something should be sentenced to death?

In anime : i liked both Kira and L
In real life : Kira's actions of killing bad peeps is kinda good in my eyes ( i know he killed some innocent peeps, like those FBI dudes and dat girl who was a lil bit cautious however it was important for the greater good to sacrifice them ) wether you call me psychopathic or death penalty supporter imma goona still support his actions even if i was sad when he killed L

No I personally don’t my father was in jail.People getting killed by Kira I guess justice system changed it ways of accusations and we don’t know rules that light followed if he even followed some rules.But i liked idea of Light and wanted to see ending of it.His goals interested me,and if living in world safer for my kids or any other kid means death of my father or falsely accused person as a collateral damage I would gladly accept the deal.

I liked L a lot but I've always rooted for Kira. It was my first anime and firstly, kira was the protagonist and almost all the shows I've watched before this has protagonist who are good but Kira was unique that's why I liked him. Other than that, I can say I've loved characters who don't hesitate to kill. I'm an atheist so morals doesn't matter to me. Everyone is free to do what they want even if it's against the law or against morals.

I'll honestly take light instead of L, Yeah you know,i'm childish,but he's the most well-written anti-hero or villain with childish ideology ever made,he's relate to teenage at age 14-17 do that's why teenagers love death note and kira, especially it's tagged shounen,His ideology and character is excuted perfectly


Now i ask.


Why Kira Yoshikage Loved so much and said he's the best villain even better than hisoka or on par with johan liebert?

Why DIO have 12.000 favs higher than yoshikage while he's a generic villain?

He is a great character, but his thought process is too convoluted, too much inconsistency and delusions, in my opinion. I never found any justification to support him, even without ethics taken into an account. So, I was always on L's side + I liked L more, from every perspective.

I like light because hes a great villain that does a kind of a good thing to the extreme. He took the oportunity to kill everyone that did something bad. Dude killed 125000 people lmao. I liked L too but when he comes with shit like: well there is something like a notebook that kills ppl (not in his words), i kinda lose interest. Yeah sure, Light is doing some fucked up shit, but he was better as a villain than L was as a "hero" so to speak, at least in my oppinion.

Not saying his morality is justified but he actually gets the job done vs most of society's slow-running, biased and overall flawed justice system.

Kira views the world without nuance. He believes he alone can fix all the problems. I think it's easy to trick yourself into going "hey that's not bad" but there's a ton of nuance. The whole point of the Kids character is that because he believes he should be god that he needs to stop everything and everyone that may stop him from making the world his ideal world.

I think if you like at Death Note very superficially it may be easy to trick yourself into rooting for Kira. But at any level beyond that (i.e. giving the show's themes some level of thought) he comes to be very apparent as a despicable human being who is worse than the rapists and murderers he is seeking to eliminate.

That said he is a fantastic character and truly part of the anime & manga canon.

Because he has some prime edge. Also Death Note isn't nearly as smart as it thinks it is.

Jokes aside, plenty of people think capital punishment is a good idea and they often tend to overlap with people who think the justice system is too slow or too lenient and you need someone to "get the job done". There's a reason why cops idolise Dirty Harry or The Punisher.
Charisma is another factor.
