Light Yagami's actions in the Death Note universe have a profound impact on the perception of justice and morality. By using the Death Note to execute individuals he deems unworthy of life, Light initially believes he is creating a world free of crime and corruption. However, as his actions become more extreme and morally questionable, it raises ethical dilemmas about the limits of justice and the consequences of playing "God." The character of Light challenges traditional notions of right and wrong, and forces viewers to reconsider their own beliefs about morality and justice.
