Guilt and remorse play a significant role in Light Yagami's character development in the anime "Death Note." At first, Light is driven by a desire to create a world free of crime and injustice using the Death Note. However, as he continues to use the Death Note and face the consequences of his actions, he begins to experience guilt and remorse for the lives he has taken. This internal conflict leads to a gradual transformation in his character, causing him to question his original ideals and paving the way for his eventual downfall.
