He believes that his intelligence and ability to wield the Death Note give him the right to act as a judge, jury, and executioner, deciding who deserves to live and who deserves to die. Light sees himself as a god-like figure who is above the law and societal norms, using his power to enforce his own sense of justice. His thirst for control and desire to create a perfect world free of crime drive his actions throughout the series.
