Do you know those couples that are so in love they do super sweet and extravagant things for eachother? Like making a word game for your partner because they love word games, just stuff like that. Lawlight is the opposite.

“I know how much you love that online game so I hacked the servers and shut it down, next time say good night”

Light's death in the manga is the most disturbing fictional death I had ever seen. I... In comparsion to THAT, any Disney villian who died had a honorable and dignified death. I don't really blame the anime version of DN for changing it.

Oof. Light’s manga death hits like a freight train, but even Obata said in HTR he felt sick when he drew that scene. That’s a hell of a statement from this artist, who’s made statements about how much he loves dark themes and to draw dead bodies (lol).

It was amazing in how gut-wrenching it was, how powerfully Obata drew it. His other interviews in HTR highlight how much work and thought he put into making it. It was Light’s swan song and his ignominious demise, his last flail after rising so high.

Nobody else in the manga had the same level of attention paid to their death— most of the others like L, Mello, Matt, Kiyomi, Soichiro...their ends were very anticlimactic and sudden. Not Light. Ohba even gave him a whole ass monologue on his way out. But Light’s death had elements of all the others— betrayal like with L’s death, defiance in the face of certain doom like Matt, getting shot and suffering like his Dad, a metaphorical nakedness/abandonment like Kiyomi, a death with the notebook like Mello.

Objectively, it’s harshness was epic and the ‘right’ ending for where the story was headed (I guess *sob*). Ryuk has said from the beginning he would write Light’s name, and Light knew there was no heaven or hell to go to. The flashback about younger Light already guessing about Mu was very well placed here at the end. But although I had no pretenses Light would survive the manga, I still sobbed like a fool when he died haha. I was sad at the anime ending but this was a gut punch.

I’m not quite sure it’s fair to compare Light’s death with anything from Disney— which is ya know, G rated stuff that fades to black or glosses over death. And I actually feel like Light’s death could have been much ‘worse’ if this hadn’t been Shonen Jump. If Kira had fallen into the hands of people with (to put it delicately) no scruples, or maybe if Near had gotten his way and locked Light away in secret forever, it could have been much darker. I see Light as someone who fears dying much less than those scenarios. I think he’s someone who doesn’t like to be confronted with the ugliness of death and the hands-off power of the Death Note is a large part of why he can mentally compartmentalize his actions as Kira as righteous. But the twisted fun of Death Note, to me, was that Light was more than the caricature of the typical villain like Disney or a fairy tale might have. We followed him through his successes and failures, cheered or jeered with him, were shocked or amazed or saddened or angry. We saw into his thoughts. It was Light’s story. The anime version of his death was quite beautifully done, but it did Disney-fy it to the extent that it was a far softer landing to cope with. It wouldn’t have made Obata feel sick, and I always did like a gut punch, even for my fav characters.

I like to think Light picked up a British accent from L so when they speak English it's aggressively British.
