Was Kira really evil?

>misa misa
Misa was the most mature character in Death Note.

No he was just misunderstood

yes

Not really

Yes; he merely chose a way to seem just because he had a god complex and wanted people to worship him. He never cared about protecting the world or stopping crime, he only cared about being seen as all powerful.

He was perfectly justified. However, he made mistakes. He should have researched every target in the world, then arranged their deaths to occur on the same day. It would have been much harder to catch him. Also, he should have killed everyone with cancer to give himself a huge headstart against law enforcement.

>Other people doing bad things makes you evil
Why don't you donate half your income to charity then? There are kids starving in africa, and you could probably survive on less money, so by not giving all your cash to charity, you're basically starving the kids yourself right?

In what world is killing people just for disagreeing with you a good thing? Kira wanted to become the ultimate arbiter of good and evil, except he was a chuuni teenager/young adult who never grew out of his chuuni phase and couldn't even be trusted to keep a scrap of the death note in his pocket at the end because he was too high on his own self-righteousness.

Yes? He made a point to kill the Fake L early on just because his ego stroking couldn't take a challenge. And he needlessly killed Ray Penbar and the other FBI agents even after he'd cleared himself of suspicion. Light was evil and also believed too much in his own hype.

Only because he lost.

The gift of freewill is better than putting a stop to all evil. Why would you know more than an omniscient God?

The author was pretty evil for that shitty oneshot ending.

No seriously, Light was unambiguously evil

I would argue that if an omniscient god existed he would just be true neutral. To take away evil you would need to take away freedom, and things become really boring when you're the one deciding everything that happens.

yeah, the author never shied away from that. Flat out stated that Death Note is a classic "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" story.

>To take away evil you would need to take away freedom
That's retarded. To take away evil you only need to take away ABSOLUTE freedom.

While he did he kill innocent people you could argue he done more good than bad considering the fact he basically forced world peace and all crime in the world went down by 70%.

Guy got enjoyment out of taunting some widow about her eventual suicide he set up after killing her husband whom she was just trying to avenge through legal means. So yes.

Killing criminals is lawful good even if they're already prisoners, and killing enemies who are trying to kill or capture you is self defense which has no alignment.

>The gift of freewill is better than putting a stop to all evil.
No it isn't, anyone will take a painless life over a free one. Only deluded americans who have never trully suffered think otherwise.

>Why would you know more than an omniscient God?
That's implying that your god is omniscient or even not from the imagination of antiquity dudes.

She was asking for it though.

No that's what communists do.
