Light Yagami, the main character in the anime series "Death Note," initially sees himself as a crusader for justice when he acquires the Death Note, a notebook that allows him to kill anyone whose name he writes in it. Light believes that he is bringing justice to the world by eliminating criminals and creating a utopia free of wrongdoing. However, as the series progresses, his self-righteousness and obsession with power lead him down a dark path, causing him to lose sight of his original intentions and become consumed by his own sense of justice, ultimately turning him into a villain in the eyes of others.
