Death Note deduction am I right or wrong?

Question

I've been watching Death Note recently and am now in the episodes where Light has lost his memories of the Death Note. When he lost his memories his attitude changed not only that but his values. Before he had the Death Note it isn't such a big assumption that Light already thought there was something wrong in this world. After having the Death Note Light now has the ability to change or fix the twistedness in this world and does so using the Death Note and he not only wants to be "god" but wants people to know he is "god" and kills those who challenge him. Now that he's lost his memories it seems he lost this self- righteous attitude, I thought he would at least be a Kira sympathizer. But L is now saying he may have been framed by Kira I would think Light would want to get Kira for this because he still would believe he should be the "god". So in reality would should have happened is Light would be Fighting Kira with no bais since he thinks it's someone else, but he's not. He is looking for Kira because he thinks what Kira is doing is wrong. So that being said. Kira is not Light, Kira is the Death Note.

(if you can make scense of what I'm saying) Am I Right or Wrong?

Answer 1

I believe that is actually right. I'm on my third time through the series right now actually, and thats actually exactly what i have been thinking. (but it took me three times through to finally see that, hahah) it got me thinking that when L said that "Kira" was controlling Light and Misa, which is the truth, since they acted differently without the Death Note. Therefore, Kira is the Death Note.

Answer 2

Kinda like that.



But Light already has the thought to change the world. Before he found the Death Note,he thought he couldn't do anything for the world. But he is still curious about the notebook,he tried to see if it really a notebook that grant death.



About the change of attitude,I think Light himself did explained this after he regained his memories.Something like"I know my real is a person who loves justice and will solve this case no matter what" somewhere along the episode the are dealing with the 3rd Kira(Kyosuke Higuchi).

Answer 3

That is a very good deduction and may be true, but this is what I think of it: If Light, while he was Kira, didn't kill all of the detectives and other innocents that I may have forgot about, he would probably secretly be rooting for Kira when his memories were lost, but since he did kill all of those innocents, Light has a different perspective for Kira while his memories are lost. Although, when he got his memories back, he went back to his old self which means that the book does have a role in his behavior and beliefs.

Answer 4

I know in an interview the writer of the manga said that if Light never found the Death Note he would have helped L solve cases when he got older. When he started using the Death Note though, he was corrupted by the power.

Answer 5

I do believe the Death Note could of corrupted Light. The power to kill anyone he wants once he knows their name made Light drunk with power. If Light had not found the Death Note he may of never became evil.
