In the anime "Death Note," Light Yagami believes that sacrificing certain individuals, especially those he views as obstacles to his vision of creating a utopia through the use of the Death Note, is necessary to achieve his ultimate goal of becoming the god-like figure who can rid the world of evil. Light sees these sacrifices as a means to justify the end goal of creating a world free from crime and full of order, even if it means resorting to unethical and manipulative actions. Sacrifice, in Light Yagami's plans, is a tool he uses to eliminate threats and maintain control over the new world he envisions.
