My take on death note's ending


I personally hate Light's loss, but let’s be real, if he had won, it would have felt more like Attack on Titan or just wouldn't make sense, because evil is part of human nature. Besides, no one is perfect. Light’s death was the only logical outcome for a man looking for immortality. Arrogance came from the power he chose to take. Successors? Who’s to say they would be as righteous as him? The author isn't crazy, the ending is a masterpiece because it shows that human nature cannot be ignored by a notebook. It reminds us that the choices we make here shape what comes next: this world is just a test for what follows. “Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.” You can look up the source, but as it says, it doesn’t matter. Some people, like Light, are simply destined to lose.
