Light Yagami, the main character in the anime "Death Note," rationalizes his actions by believing that he is creating a world free from criminals and evil-doers. He sees himself as a savior and justifies his extreme actions of using the Death Note to kill criminals as necessary for maintaining order and creating a utopia where people can live without fear of crime. This skewed sense of justice leads him to believe that sacrificing a few lives is a small price to pay for the greater good of a peaceful and orderly society.
