In Death Note, the theme of the consequences of hubris is portrayed through the main character, Light Yagami, who initially believes he can use the Death Note to rid the world of criminals and become a god-like figure known as "Kira." Light's arrogance and belief in his own superiority lead him to commit increasingly unethical and immoral acts in the name of justice. Ultimately, his hubris blinds him to the negative impact of his actions, leading to his downfall and tragic consequences. The series serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the price of arrogance.
