The deaths caused by the Death Note deeply affect Light Yagami's psyche in the anime "Death Note." Initially, Light is driven by a sense of justice and a desire to rid the world of criminals using the Death Note. However, as he continues to use the Death Note to kill people, his sense of morality becomes increasingly warped. The constant exposure to death and the power to decide who lives and dies begin to corrupt Light's psyche, leading him to develop a god complex and lose touch with his own humanity. The deaths he causes ultimately contribute to his descent into darkness and megalomania.
