Basic
If you need an introduction to the world of Death Note or some basic information on the character of Light Yagami, these are the pages to read before tackling the Analysis section. All these pages are, for the most part, spoiler-free.
- Series: an overview of the series, its author and illustrator.
- Profile: a general presentation of Light.
Analysis
For the experienced Death Note fans, the following pages offer an analysis of the most interesting elements tied to Light. Needless to say…they are full of spoilers!
Although pages are divided in categories, most of them can be read in no particular order. Even jumping from a category to another is perfectly fine since these pages are mostly standalone essays. The only exception is the Corruption page, which should be read after the Killer page.
General
- Media: how are the media related to Light and how their reaction to Light’s actions changes throughout the series.
- Very Important Victims: some of the people killed by either Light or his accomplishers are more important than others.
Light Yagami
- Killer: from student to serial killer; an overview of Light’s metamorphosis.
- Corruption: a speculation on what the Death Note can do when used by a human, as in Light’s case, instead of a shinigami.
- Eyes and Gazes: eyes are a recurring element in Death Note, mainly exemplified in the image of the shinigami’s eyes. But there are also other types of eyes which aren’t less important…
- Vigilante: breaking the law for a good reason, what traits does Light share with the vigilante archetype?
- Fate: albeit Light didn’t see his dream come true while he was alive, he might have found an interesting after-life occupation.
Relationships
- Kira: Light’s connection with the other four Kiras; Misa, Higuchi, Teru, and Kiyomi.
