In "Death Note," the theme of corruption is explored through the protagonist, Light Yagami, who initially believes he is using the Death Note for a noble cause - to rid the world of criminals and create a utopia. However, as he becomes more consumed by power and the ability to control life and death, Light's moral compass begins to deteriorate, leading to increasingly corrupt and manipulative actions. The series showcases how absolute power can corrupt even the most well-intentioned individuals and blurs the lines between right and wrong.
