Light Yagami's actions in the anime "Death Note" ultimately lead to a significant shift in his sense of duty. Initially, Light believes he is acting in the best interest of society by using the Death Note to eliminate criminals and create a utopia free of wrongdoing. However, as he becomes more consumed by power and the desire to be a god-like figure, his sense of duty becomes warped. He starts to see himself as above the law and as the sole judge of who deserves to live or die. This drastic change in perspective reflects how power can corrupt one's sense of duty and morality.
