@Soma Néo Saki but the thing is he's not a god. He's a human being playing at one who ultimately thinks he's better than others and uses and manipulates them for his own gain. He sees the death note as giving him this authority to determine who lives and dies when in reality he has no place to. I don't think he's pure evil. There's a complexity to him for sure. But his intentions ultimately got twisted and it became about increasing his power and control rather than truly creating justice. And honestly, that's partly because the death note itself corrupts. It gives people like Light too much power and even if they go in with good intentions, they ultimately got twisted along the way. I don't he ever could have been a just god whether or not L was there and again finding a death note does not give him the right to be a god and to judge others

Light always had a good point. The issue was that he became a part of the problem. And started to enjoy punishing people and evading the detectives.

Let’s remember that the musical version of Light and the anime version are VERY different. Anime Light had nothing about “lawyers cutting deals” or letting “corporations make the regulations.” He didn’t care about “the rich and famous” getting away with murder. He only wanted to kill all the criminals. Largely those that were already incarcerated. He wasn’t rebelling against a corrupt system, he just believed all criminals should get the death penalty.

Well, that's what he is...

‼️Analysis ‼️ what I probably love the most about this song, is it's correlation to the _actual_ deathnote. Light sings about how "judges pushing pencils mostly get it wrong". It may not be on purpose, but with how carefully the writers were with the words they put in their songs, I wouldn't doubt it. Now, Light is angry about the system in an "eat the rich" way, and especially questions their views, law and the system itself. The system based on _written down words._ It's amazing how the tables turn when Light gets the deathnote, _becoming_ the law with these written down words. He become what he so despised, but he fully believes he's better than it, better than it used to be (which, in my opinion, was kind of the case in the begining, until he got crazy)

@theinimitablejora522

11 ай бұрын

I'd argue that you're so right, that you're wrong. I propose that Light never actually cared to begin with. All of this talk of helping the innocent wasn't out of an actual desire for justice, it was his own twisted ego. After all, he would be revered as the one who fixed the system and made the world work right. And besides, it wasn't even Light singing the "pushing pencils" line- it was one of his classmates. He wanted to be revered, to be appreciated for something he'd done and felt even mildly proud of (his academic life came too easy for him to ever consider that), and certain views he may or may not have had on sociopolitical affairs just got roped into all that. Which is why the musical's interpretation of the ending- Light wins the game, L dies, and then Ryuk just kills him because the game's over, is so brilliant. Light only wanted to be the god of a new world because gods are revered and appreciated and worshiped for what they do. But the most appreciation he ever felt, the most he ever connected with anyone, was when L was matching his intelligence. He needed L, not the Death Note. And in using the Death Note to be rid of L... he realized what he had the second he forced himself to watch it all fade away.

I actually can totally see the evil bits in the song, and emotional appeal to a complex issue, making it out to be simple "right and wrong". Reality is when we focus on punishment, we become like KIra. The lines start to blur to egos and personal failings, where innocents end up dying along side the corrupt. It's an amazing song. A great story and cautionary tale too. The line "Let good old fashion payback, grease the wheels of the machine" Kinda shows my point. Payback is not justice. Justice is fair and correct. Payback is emotional. The ideology was corrupt from the start, just simply told persuasively. Think of it another way too. Light is a privileged kid, his dad is a decorated officer, leader of a police department. The exact type of person who would not understand justice, believing themself to be inherently just. That's always why the god complex made sense to me, why he saw himself as justice. He had seeds of that in his mind before the death note. But as he grew he would have seen how things are far more grey. The anime showed that in the scenes where he didn't have his memories. The death note ruined him and his bright future. Stuck him in place. Made those seeds blossom. To me, death note was a story of the danger of having an absolute view of the world, and how an absolute ideology can corrupt your sense of self if you are handed power. How power stagnates you as a person. You don't need wisdom when you are powerful. Because then you must be pure. Power makes you pure. You must be god. Gods don't need to improve. They are inherent. Absolute. (usually, depends on the media or religion). I think this right here is why Light scares me so much. Ugh I love this story, one of the few I get a deep meaning out of. I''m not even a big anime fan aha. But I love this one.

Oh my god, thank you for vocalizing this. I see a lot of the comments saying that light "had good intentions, he just let the power go to his head", but IMO the point of Death Note is that any average person is capable of a lot of really terrible shit, as long as they can justify it to themself and are given the ability to do so. It does not take long for Light to rank up a kill count higher than even the most prolific serial killers, and very quickly he resorts to killing the innocent just to hide his identity. Light was always too sure he was in the right, and always broke the world down into "good guys" and "bad guys", and thought anything done against "bad guys" was justifiable. Light never actually cared about the victims - he cared about punishing the wicked. And those are not the same. Light never even thought to examine why crime happens, merely assuming anyone who committed any crime is just inherently evil. His simplistic view of right and wrong is directly a product of his privileged upbringing, how life was just kind of easy for him (I mean this on many levels - his family was wealthy, he was socially well adjusted, school was easy for him, he was attractive, etc.) and he was never forced to examine himself or his own worldviews. The Death Note just allowed him to take his very black and white worldview to its natural conclusion.

"Power makes you pure. You must be god" As someone who never read Death Note but knows the story, this resonates with me. I genuinely believe in a God that's pure. And what you said is correct - to avoid corruption, God(s) must be inherent and absolute. That means having all the facts, which God(s) can do. Humans do not and are also not absolute/incorruptible. Even the best of us break down over time. But as seen with this song, Light is not absolute. He doesn't have all the facts and thus sees the world as simple black and right. The scary thing is, I used to be like that. Even now, the notion of using force to punish sounds alluring. But as you said well, power does not mean wisdom.

When I was younger I used to think that Light/ Kira really had a point. But ultimately, the death note is inadequate for creating a better world. The only thing it can do is punish, and the only punishment it can give is death. There is no in-between, no grey-area. For Light, people are either "good" or they deserve death. There is no rehabilitation, no understanding and no prevention. Immediate justice like this is satisfying, because when we hear of horrible people getting locked up for life or executed, we are likely to think "Yeah! Serves them right! Let them rot!". Our need for justice might have been satisfied, but we have learnt and gained very little to make the world a better place. Sure, this one person is gone, but if we don't ask "Why did this person turn out this way? How could this have been prevented?", the next criminal will take their spot in no time. Maybe they'll get better at not-getting-caught.

You are omitting supernatural element of Death Note, it will get you no matter did you escape, gave bribe to the judge or walked on technicality. If you consider this it is very realistic that at the end of anime/manga crime rates fallen 70% and there was no wars. There are 415k homicides every year and this is without counting deaths in combat and others that stem from consequences of crimes. Light saved millions of lives and really made a better world in the end.

Though he is wrong about one thing, it is not just rich and famous that do corrupt and unjust things. even the poor do heinous crimes and get away with it. it is like painting a set of people bad, while not recognizing that evil has no face and gender. It can be a girl or a boy, a bisexual or a homosexual, it can be a respected individual (like religious leaders, corporate leaders, government employees, teachers or even citizens who have good reputations) and a feared individual (known for killing or raping someone but authorities are unable to do anything about it). because if we limit it to one, we are only shifting the discrimination to this set of people. (like how some lgbtq members bully and harrass straight people or how some professionals/Honor students are bullied by successful singers for being "book smart" or some individuals with tattoos are bullying those individuals without it, some female would abuse males and get away with it) It is happening very frequently, and as time pass by it will become the new normal. Abuse don't just occur to a group of people---all of us suffer from it and by saying these rich guys are just the bad guys is a complete bs.

@@EpinephrineUwU light isn’t proclaiming that all crime comes from rich people. he’s saying when (in america, which this musical was written to be more fitting towards american politics than japan’s) our government and judicial system is corrupted by money-hungry corporations and capitalist politicians, there’s no longer any reason to enact real and actual justice for victims -here is where light talks about the poor and oppressed peoples, that don’t have the necessary money to proceed in enacting their own justice as victims to crime because our judicial system requires insanely expensive resources to even have a court case - when they could just as easily be bribed to let it be, giving the rich and famous and powerful a way to “get away with murder” by using their wealth.

Meanwhile when I heard this for the first time I was like ‘Varian what are you doing here- holy c**p he’s Light. That.... kinda firs’

pov is 2022 and light is starting to sound pretty reasonable…

There are so many comments about Light having a good point. There's a reason for that. In virtually every adaptation of Death Note, the viewer/reader is supposed to agree with Light...at first, before everything gets out of hand. When the manga was first written (and to some extent, still), a fairly large portion of the Japanese public was frustrated with the justice system, and the fact that criminals were freely walking the street. In Japan it's exceedingly rare for a criminal case to go to court, unless it's more or less guaranteed that conviction will occur. That's because the powers that be don't really see the point in using resources on a case where the end result might be acquittal. Most readers and anime viewers outside of Japan aren't aware of that so the work doesn't strike quite as powerfully as a thought experiment. Obviously that's not to say the work's not still incredible but some of the nuances are often lost. That said, when the musical was translated into English, some frustrations that might be unique to Japanese culture were translated in such a way where Light's viewpoint might resonate with an American audience more strongly. That's why there are lyrics such as: "Let the corporations make the regulations and all go unaccountable when everything goes wrong; let the rich and famous get away with murder! Every time a high-priced mouth piece starts to talk his client gets to walk; tell me where is the justice?" in this song. His desire for justice isn't wrong at all, in fact, it's meant to be morally right. It's his methods that are the issue, because the end doesn't really justify the means of serial murder.

KZread: "What if I were to tell you there was a Death Note musical?" Me: "It will probably be on par with the movies. Enjoyable enough, but fails to capture the essence of the show." KZread: "You didn't let me finish. This musical has catchy songs, a well written critique of the legal justice system, and brings in the philosophical view on mortality that the show had." Me: "Why did you wait until now to tell me about this? You know I love musicals!"

I think my favorite part about the song, is that his teacher echoed everthing I thought when watching the anime. It's all well and good to say the system is broken and that you want to get Justice. But Light's method is way too cut and dry. He's not actually fixing anything, rather he's slapping a bandage on it. Actually, not even that, what he is doing harkens back to Medieval medicine. He's trying to bleed out the disease, not aware that he's doing more harm than good.

WHAT ABOUT LIFE, JAMIE???

Allow me to do a quick charakter analysis here. Light starts out arguing with the teacher. They go back and forth for a bit. And then light stops listening to the teachers arguments and ignores him instead. In the beginning of the song light counteres the teachers arguments. "Laws are made for everyone we're treated all the same" "Till a lawyers tricks can fix the blame". This discusion goes on for a but. Then the dynamic changes. Light goes "Till we're back to seeing black and white and wrong and right again." The teacher argues "overwrought pronouncements won't improve the paradigm" and then Light goes "Till lawyers cutting deals becomes a crime". This last line is a bit odd until you realise that it's intentionally breaking the discusion between the teacher and Light. The structure of Lights line follows that of his previous one (both starting with "till") .And the content of Lights second line also has nothing to do with the teachers line. Light is just ignoring the fact that the teacher said anything. Remember the first of lights lines that I quoted? It also starts with "till" and has something to do with lawyers. It's extremely similar to the line we just analyzed. This indicates that Light hasn't changed his view on the justice system in the discusion with the teacher. The teachers arguments didn't convince him. It only makes sense that Light then stop listening to them at all. He doesn't even try to counter. He's to convinced that he is right. During his discusion with the teacher Light has managed to convince the other students. In the next part of the song Light goes into a duet with the other students. They basically strengthen each others arguments. It's not really a discusion anymore. They are just affirming that light is right and the students are adopting lights views. (This acts as foreshadow to the people who worship Kira and approve of this killings.) The teacher gets completely pushed to the side in this segment. He doesn't get to say anything. According to the lyrics guy or girl, the teacher has another line towards the end of the song. He seems to angrily remark that Light didn't learn anything from him and sais that Light would break the rules while telling himself that he is right to do so. (Foreshadowing Kira's killings) This line also gets completley ignored by Light. He instead repeats a verse from the beginning of the song "Listen to the families hiding in their houses..." Again reafirming that no, Light didn't learn anything from the teacher. When we look at the song with this in mind it becomes clear that the song is less about Light proving that he's right about the justics system and more him brushing all other argument aside in favor for is own already established views. His superiority complex gets revealed here so early on in the musical. The power of the death note might corrupt him but he is already dead set on his views. He wouldn't let anything shake him once he made up his mind. This is probably how he justifies the killings too. He focuses on the pro arguments and ignores all the contra arguments. As the audience I find it important not to forget that Light didn't actually win the argument with the teacher. Light is just telling himself the students and us that he is right.

The teacher doesn’t get a say because most of his argument is condescending ad hominem from “the young mans anger in your eyes” to the implication that the law affects us all equally when it clearly doesn’t. Light made some good points and the teacher just insulted him.

@@NoBody-qs7op what. No. I mean, no, Ligth not only could not finish the argument, since of course, he is a child who cannot avoid seeing the world with two colors when the teacher knows well that that is wrong, and even so, Ligth ignores him and to gain strength in his argument, he convinces his other colleagues, who are more manipulable and have a more variable opinion.

@@thecourier-sama4334 people love to argue “oh the world is more complicate than that” no it really isn’t. There is right, and there is wrong. The rich and powerful get away with murder and rarely if ever face consequences, and even when they do face consequences those are a slap on the wrist compared to the crime. If you can’t understand that the law is neither fair or just then I can see why you’d think the world is complicated. You’re a simpleton.

@@NoBody-qs7op lol a bit far for an internet argument. And no it’s not that simple, this is just parroting what Light says about ignoring nuance and pretending that the world is black and white because it makes it easier for him to justify the view he already has

It’s almost like Lucifer himself is singing…

This song kicks ass is *all* the ways can't help but hear Varian tho

To some degree, yes I see it. However, JD wanted it on a much smaller scale. He just wanted to "purify" a highschool, (and mainly just for his "true love") he didn't take into account that the kids he was targeting would grow up and probably realize the way they acted was fucked up. Meanwhile, Light targetted mainly adults, who were full grown and should have known better. He wanted to "purify" the world, and not just for one person, but for everybody else in the world who wanted justice and was tired of the system failing over and over again. I see what you're getting at. However, while they are very similar, they are also very different.

JEREMY LOVE YOU VOICE, Tangle, Hazbin Hotel, Wherever you are amazing

I just realized this musical was written by Frank Wildhorn. God damn it, he really can’t catch a break when it comes to his musicals, can he? He’s so talented and yet his musicals are always either super controversial (mostly cause he doesn’t make musicals out of stories you’d never think to make musicals out of) or they don’t last very long in the public eye and become nothing more than cult classics.

Yes, whatever he makes get's absolutely shit on by Broadway critics. Whether it's good or not, which some of it is not (looking at you "Wonderland"). A few of his best musicals died without really ever being seen. Waiting for the Moon (Zelda), Camille Claudel, Svengali to name a few. I saw Waiting for the Moon in NJ at a famous highschool where a few shows have premiered and it was amazing, but that went nowhere after that.

@@ferrari250trWonderland is a complicated case for me because the music IS actually good, the set and costumes are nice, and the concept is there; the book is just not it. From interviews I’ve read they changed some major plot stuff about 8 weeks before opening, which I’m sure didn’t help either. Wonderland is a guilty pleasure for me since I know very well it’s not exactly a good musical, but the music is actually unironically good

I have never heard a bad Frank Wildhorn song. It's a little scary. I think the man might have some otherworldly power we're not aware of.

Okay but if you've actually studied Marxism or even read his manifesto you'd know this was a true statement. Communism wasn't meant to apply to governments. It was created to apply to smaller things like corporations. (A co-op is communism.) In the actual manifesto, it never once tells you to apply it to governments. So while it doesn't work on the large scale of the USSR, it still works today in many successful smaller operations. Communism is about equal distribution for equal work. It makes sense that a corporation or business should apply this principal since they are the ones assigning jobs & regulating work not a government. (Sorry I went on a rant there I just study this so 😅)
