Light Yagami's actions in the anime "Death Note" have a significant impact on his sense of duty. Initially, he believes that his duty is to rid the world of criminals and create a utopia free of wrongdoing. However, as he continues to use the Death Note to eliminate those he deems unworthy, his sense of duty becomes warped. His obsession with power and control leads him to justify increasingly immoral actions, ultimately causing him to lose sight of his original intentions. This transformation highlights the dangerous consequences of unchecked power and the ways in which duty can be manipulated to serve one's own selfish desires.
