Death Note is a Japanese Shonen Manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba (whose real identity and gender is a closely guarded secret) and illustrator Takeshi Obata. The series primarily centers around Light Yagami, a high school student, who finds a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Light vows to rid the world of evil with the power of the supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it. But the authorities become suspicious when criminals begin dropping dead and send the legendary detective "L" to track down the killer. Who is L? Which side is right? Will the world really conform to Light's ideals?

Kira or L 

Do you agree with Lights way of judgment or with L's?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Kira

dettabayo says:

all i can say is, I'm with kira.. why?because kira makes the crime rate decrease..even that they say that kira is a murderer, he is a hero. just like light yagami said "kira only wants to change the world".

L

seataclimo says:

I agree with L because Kira is just killing people off just because they did a crime. Maybe they killed someone or robbed a bank or something but they still might stay in prison and learn something. Kira is also addicted to killing criminals. L tries to stop all that killing and having more criminals is better than living in a world with no violence. I say that because what would the police do if everyone was a goody two shoes? Well that is just my opinion.

Lauren says:

I think that Kira has a very valid point in the way he kills. he is creating a perfect world with no crime and all that yahoo but i dont like him. he's so up himself with the whole 'im the new god' thing. And i love L. i think that what he is doing IS mass homicide, but on ppl who had the death sentance. is that really homicide or just doing other ppls jobs for them?
i dunno, either way L = win. his judgement is always correct. Hellz yeah.

marielena says:

i think the idea of kira is excellent, but it's just not right. the world isnt ready for kira yet.
