i voted Yagami-Light.. bcoz he's cool..

in the beggining he's a smart boy. and gud boy.. but..
when he obtain the note.. alot of he's atitude is change ehehe:D

like the darkside light :eyespin:

I will repost my reasons to dislike light here (from other thread), as I think is relevant to the thread.

Let's see what he did through the series:

- Aiming at small fries- (This one I think it is the autor's mistake, because it is not shown as an issue in manga/anime). Kira only killed criminals shown in media. It mean he only killed people arrested or known by media. So he couldn't kill unknown criminals (like most active criminals and criminal masterminds like himself).

- Badly aiming criminals He judged people just by seeing media, not by reading minds or deep investigations (It mean every people framed, unjustly arrested, or committing criminal acts to save other people being killed). It is almost like having death penalties without trials. And note he judged people using only his own corrupted Kira's sense of justice.

- Killing innocents without second thought or remorse Anime/manga DID shown he killing and making people kill too many innocent people. He even hand his book to the 1st greedy person out there for few months, just to misguide L. And he killed anyone trying to get him, even when it wasn't necessary anymore (Like when he deceived Ray Penber to think he was innocent, waited a week and then killed him).

- Enjoying killing- EVEN when killing innocents, he enjoyed his power of taking lives and not ever once lost a night sleep for it. He even mocked most non-criminals he killed. (Ray penber, his fiancee, and L, for examples)

Also I noticed most people think he was different (not murderer) before getting Death note. It is even suggested by Near that he lost his senses to Death Note and Death Gods, and after his downfall it shows how he was before the Note.

But I disagree. through the story, in Light's thinking, it clearly shows that he always wanted to be a policeman just to execute criminals. It is why he quickly start to use Death note in the 1st place. As stated by Ryuk, he never saw before a human putting so many names in so few days. Actually, it is even a pivot to his plot to bring L down. As he himself explained, he erased his own mind from Death Note because he KNEW that he would try to hiddenly find kira before L to kill him, having high chances of him getting the Death Note before L.

I voted for Light for his genious and mastermind plans...:heh: it does not mean i support all his doings


I am putting this explanation in my opinion and my observation, which could be wrong...

For the first two - it does show that MOST (not all) of the time he researched on the criminal before killing. He does not have mind reading powers to detect the mastermind criminals though...so he accessed police info and media

For the last two - it is a fault in his character...i agree with what you say. He killed L, Ray Penber and his wife because they were in 'his way' and he pretty much enjoyed it.

Light was not like this before the Death Note. He wanted to be a person to make a better world and punish criminals...most police wants to do that. But the idea suddenly changes to HIS world or that he is the god after he begins using Death Note

I love L. From the start till the end. Therefore, I voted for L.

Ryuk, FTW.
If it wasn't for ryuk the whole deathnote plot would never start. =)

true but i still dn't lyk him he is a bit weird n i think

Ryuk told Light that he would put his name down in his note at the end of his life at the very start of the series. He merely dropped the note to get some entertainment, he never cared for Light at all.

Bingo. I thought Yagami Raito deserves to die...:p no offence now to the fans of Raito-kun but he killed L :upset: so....:heh:

Yagami Light.

One of the coolest and well-drawn Anime character of all time.

okie..i know this is no link at all...

But HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO L-SAMA!!! ^_^

For me, that has to be L - the first one that is ;)
Well, when I entered this thread, I gave it a second thought of who I like, and came to the conclusion, that when L died I was so sad, I mean, I did NOT at all expect him to die so early, but thought it might happen at the last episode (in this case, 37).

Every time I see the topic discussion about "The most favorite character in DN" in forums, the result is always the same ---> L is the champion!

Yeah, L is the best indeed! Though he's not the protagonist, but he is the actual hero in the series. I love him so much too ^^

Light Yagami, for being cool and all. And hes a genius!!

L, Kira and Mikami :D Mikami is funny

Yagami Light... my favorite character from the start of the DN anime/manga till the end. I also like Mello, Mikami, L and Matt.

Raito rocks...
i think he's not bad,, but sometimes i think he's evil,, but to tell the truth, i love 'evil' Raito.. hehehe
i always support badguyss.. badguyss forever.. hehehe

L is an emo diabetic. Light is like a teenage Aizen. What's not to like about that?

L. L. L. L. L. Best male character of all time. An animated me.

Light, Matsuda, Matt, Mikami, and Gevanni are good as well (in that order). I also quite like Ryuk.... but L is far superior to ANY of them.

well. i like light most, but i like L too. he is very nice.
but light is still my favorite.
