; "L vs Light - whose side you are on" ;

- Hm - Sadmann - - Sakib - Fahim - ;

: So......i am striking in defense.......Sometimes...God does wrong things....But 'light'- who do you think you are? u are not even god! who the hell are u to judge all

the bad people in the world! the people who are doing bad things....its not like they are do ing it

just after birth! the circumstances...the surroundings....all the things sometime make them do

it? do u know difference between monster and bad people? if not .....don't take the decision of other's life!

Mehedi Hasan Himel : who is light? A person who strives to change this "rotten" world into

something which normal people can live

He is truly awesome and decisive. He is absolutely determined to get his goal. For that he can

take any underhanded tricks. Did that make him a bad person? Nah cz you gain nothing without

sacrificing everything

he is GOD cz he has the power to judge people. He is totally righteous

how he is better than L? Well the end proved everything. L simply got overshadowed. Light's

intellectual was superior than him so he won. Easy and simple

"Im going to make the world know Im here that somebody is passing righteous judgement on

them. done ~

Sadmann Sporsho : He is truly awesome and decisive. He is absolutely determined to get his

goal. For that he can take any underhanded tricks. Did that make him a bad person? Nah cz you

gain nothing without sacrificing everything.

Hmm, you know, that reminds me of someone called Hitler. He was also awesome and

decisive. [I dont think I need to mention the determined part -_-]. And if using underhanded

tricks doesnt make him a bad person, then I dont know what does.

he is GOD cz he has the power to judge people.

Simply having the power to kill people doesnt give you the right to do so. He is someone wh o

only cares for his ego [like the egotist he is] and will do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING to get his w ay.

nothing without sacrificing everything.

What did he sacrifice exactly? He doesnt actually care about anyone you know. He kills without

a single thought whenever he is threatened. Forget being better than L, he isnt even a DECENT

human being.

: .... .... ... ....

Sakib Mahmud Pretom : Light treats people as if they were a piece of plastic.Yes Light did start

to use his deathnote with a good "intention" (read:wrong sense of justice),he totally goes

Berserk & on a killing spree when he finds out L is onto him.

On the other hand L tries to fight for true justice, to stop Light. Even though Light is killing bad

people, he'll go to great lengths jsut to cover his own ***. He doesn't care about anyone el se. L

cares about everyone, even Light, which is saying a lot.

Light killed "bad people",but we know not all crimanals are "bad people" often they are framed

& they have families too.So what gives him the right to bestow the judgement of "Killing" them?

Then when people were onto him,He was NO BETTER than the murderers he killed which is

contradictory,isn't it?

Fahim Bin Selim : Think about the current world. Do you like seeing people die for useless

reasons. People do bad things for curcamstaces, yes, everyone has some reason to do what the y

have done. But does that make them void of judgement? Does that make them 'not bad'? Oh

blame it all on fate!

Think about our country. People are dying, people are getting fried. You don't have to be a

rocket scientist to know what they are doing is wrong, terribly wrong. Inhumanic.

But what would you do? Think? Would you just stop and stare, 'Hey, there is government and

there is the police. They will surely catch him, bring him to justice.'?

You'd just stand there motionless?

After knowing that that is a LIE. A lie everyone can see, some voices their reasons, but no one

are rising against:

Maybe now when do not have something to stand against with.

But what do you do when you have the power? Will you not right the wrongs? Can you sleep,

live...breathe knowing that you have power to do something for the good and not do it?

@Sadmann, do you think he didn't care about anything before possessing the notebook? He

didn't care about his family? He had high hopes, he was a intelligent guy, the most intelligent

one in the country. He could have a great job, a beautiful wife, a wonderful life.

Why do you think he let go off the chance? Take in all the hatred. Because he knows change w as

indispensable.

But there was no one to do it. There was no one who had the ability, the belief and courage to

SACRIFICE. '

His family was important...when it comes to changing the world, dawning a better world, there

was to be sacrifices, as big as it was.

Why did he do it?

Because HE was the only one who could.'

: From Himels comment--- awesomeness.decisive.totally righteouscan make people overshadowed.intelligent ---- these are the criteria to be a

God! I dont know any religion which has this kind of God! Nowmay be Light is a new kind of

God..an evil God or just evil with high intellectual mind who doesnt know he committed

sinsI think he is more human than Lcause L at least compromised himself for greater

good..but for not to be caughtLight did everything he couldk illing and using people.

From orin apus comment--- there is nothing like Utopia in this world.if a world is

perfectthen it will be destroyed.....do you know why? Because there will no development n

for the perfect world I thing all the humans have to be turned in Robot-because to err is

human. We can make the world a better place not perfect! And another note MADARA from

naruto shippuden also wants to create a perfect world.

From Fahims comment--- the power he got ..he used it so wrongly!

Lastly another observation about light-----We know 7 sins from full-metal alchemist- Lights

sins are pride and Wrath. worst kinds of sins which make you lose your judgment about yourself and others.

Mehedi Hasan Himel : "Simply having the power to kill people doesnt give you the right to do

so"

u r telling about the rights? Who cares about the rights? You have the power,you have the ri ght

to use it however you want. You can't think about how other people would view about you. Can

we satisfy everyone in the world. Atleast he could satisfy those people whose family member

was killed by someone, proved innocent. But due to light's deeds those people got punished.

Most of the time he punished bad guys. He might have punished some good guys too but that's

very few. Too few to mention

"He is someone who only cares for his ego [like the egotist he is] and will do ABSOLUTELY

ANYTHING to get his way"

of course he will do it. You chose the hardest path out there,it's not simple,you have to throw

away the slightest emotion to pave the way for the greater success

"He kills without a single thought whenever he is threatened"

lol. What is the most basic instinct of human beings? It's survival dude. SURVIVAL. Since the

beginning of civilization what was always the first thing on human minds? It's how to SURVIV E

dude. So it goes without saying for the survival most men can do anything. Yeah there are some

noble people out there. But it's ton few

and light isn't noble. He can't afford to show affection. Because he has to kill that person one

day. He knew it and that's why he didn't dare to show his emotions. That just showed how far

he thought ahead of the plot

"Light killed "bad people",but we know not al l crimanals are "bad people" often they are framed

& they have families too"

ah you only think about the kira's victim familier. You don't have any sympathy for those who

was those killer's victim? You can't afford to think from one side only because of the debate

"So what gives him the right to bestow the judgement of "Killing" them?"

who needs right when u have power? No one.

"awesomeness.decisive.totally righteouscan make people overshadowed.intelligent --

-- these are the criteria to be a God! I dont know any religion which has this kind of God!"

ah are you talking about the real GOD? GOD is beyond our understanding.

there is nothing like Utopia in this world.if a world is perfectthen it will be destroyed. ....do

you know why? Because there wil l no development n for the perfect world I thing all the

humans have to be turned in Robot-becauseto err is human. We can make the world a better

place" u never know. U never know.

Sadmann Sporsho : Justice will prevail

Lights vision of Justice is twisted. He doesnt as much as want a better world, as he wan ts to

rule that world as God. He didnt even think twice about killing innocent- nay, good people. Im

not even gonna start on what he did to his own family, just his reaction to a simple challenge on

the TV proves exactly what his priorities are. He impresses me on absolutely no other points

save one. Light uses people. Light believes himself to be above everyone else. This is a man who

will stick at absolutely nothing to get what HE wants. Is this someone who is fit to judge other

people?

L believes in Justice. He doesnt actually HAVE to do anything. He has no obligation to risk his

life. He doesnt even get paid for it. And he cares for his comrades [see: Ls reaction when Misa

first killed the policemen at the TV station]. Light was Ls only friend. This proves how much he

actually has in life. And he cared for that friend [even when he suspected him, even if it meant

that proving himself right would result in losing that one friend] until the end. He died trying to

bring justice upon the world.

@Fahim bhaiya:

Think about the current world. Do you like seeing people die for useless reasons. People do bad

things for curcamstaces, yes, everyone has some reason to do what they have done. But does

that make them void of judgement? Does that make them 'not bad'? Oh blame it all on fate!

Will you not right the wrongs? Can you sleep, live...breathe knowing that you have power to do

something for the good and not do it?

Dont give me that For the greater good bs. So the end justifies the means? Killing criminals

[that werent even judged by him] will bring justice and order to the world? Is this what you

actually believe?

No. Killing criminals without actually hearing their side first makes him no better than the m.

He had high hopes, he was a intelligent guy, the most intelligent one in the country. He could

have a great job, a beautiful wife, a wonderful life.

Hmm, what part of this didnt he have again? Supermodel wife, a GREAT job and Im sure having

complete power over the human race can be considered a wonderful life for a power-hungry

egotist like him.

He didn't care about his family?

No. He didnt. He didnt have a single shred of emotion about his family. Everything he did and

thought was only for himself. He has proved that TIME AND TIME again.

Because HE was the only one who could.

Heavy lies the crown eh? No. He wasnt the only one who could. He couldve passed that

power on to someone more . Why didnt he? Well, because he BELIEVES that hes the only one

who is suited for such a power.

he belief and courage to SACRIFICE. '

Tell me what he sacrificed again? Potato chips?

@Himel bhaiya

lol. What is the most basic instinct of human beings? It's survival dude.

:D I thought we were talking about a God? If he is, indeed a human, he is most certainly sub-

par. And I wouldnt even trust him to judge my answer sheets.

He might have punished some good guys too but that's very few. Too few to mention

Let me help. Everyone who threatened him. Everyone who name was shown on a FREAKING TV

SCREEN.

Light didn't do it for 'the greater good'. He did it for himself.

; ; ? ? ? - ? ? ; ; "bunch of people" ?!!!

Sakib Mahmud Pretom : So The "Light debaters" are in to "justify" the actions of Light to make

this world a better place.

Let me shed some light(!) on what L Lawliet was doing with his Life,shall we??

He is a detective whose been unravelling crimes around the world & putting criminals to justice

according to the law.

He doesn't have any super power,but he has a gift->intellect & he's using that to do as much as

justice as he can.

On the otherhand,light shows off as a regular high-school student but surely turns into nothing

but a "maniac" & "murderer".

" ; "-Orin senpai,valo student hoilei valo manush howa jayna,atleast Luffy-Goku'r fan er kase ei kotha asha korinai kokhonoi.

And Light killed who?Mostly criminals who are already going through their punishment as per

law.Why does he kill them?For pleasure,to misdirect the Task Force,to test his powers(!),limits

of deathnote & most often because he fells like doing so! How can THAT be called TRUE justice.

What Light has is a twisted genius mind with a WRONG sense of justice.

HE ONLY COULD DO IT-Look at L man! Where there's a will theres a way :D Ami DN haate paile duidin pore L er sathe join kore combinely world theke crime saaf kortam :D

Fahim Bin Selim : Yes there is no 'perfect' world as much as it is true that there is no 'true evil'.

No dark age.

But would you just let it be? Take in what life throws at you? Abide the seeming rule? What

does that make us any different from being robots?

For every evil that dies, a new one is born.

Light killed all those people, and took in their filth, their darkness. Grew evil himself.

Yes, Light was evil. Neccessary evil.

The world was rotten, filthy, corrupted. And he dirtied himself, there was no other way it could

have been done.

Does your sympathy brings smile to those who've lost their loved ones? Does L help to bring joy

to masses? Oh, no! 'He is the most brilliant detective ever! He helps secret agencies in the cases

where they come to a hault! Brilliant, L!'

What he does the other times? Have he ever stopped and tried to help a poor young lady

who've lost his husband, a child his father, a oldman his son? Have he ever tried to cleanse the

filth, the corrusptions that have clogged the machine we know as goverment.

'Oh no, he is the great, L! He sits in his super apartment and eats icecreams and sweets!

Such kawaii

Much kakkoi

So smexaay

Wow!'

Light did it.

He killed people.

He took in the hatred.

He made sacrifices.

But in return brought smiles to those who were neglected, betrayed, framed.

What L did was right. (In your eyes according to your flawed, hypocritic rules of the world)

What Light did was best.

: From himels comment----- so in the end we get a Godwho is egoistwrathfulhas killing intentnamed Light.You chose the hardest path out there-

hardest path! What is it.to kill people willfullywhere you have about zero percent chance to

harm urself! He kills without a single thought whenever he is threatened"

lol. What is the most basic instinct of human beings? It's survival dude. SURVIVAL- Shit! I

thought Light is a God! Isnt he?????

From orin apus comment---- Light killed people for many reasons not ony for the bad people

judgment..to create a perfect world! In our court.We got three/four layers of judgment to

give a command of hanging . N we know .nothing is absoluteand no one is perfectso

light is also not perfect nor his judgment. If he is so intelligentwhy didnt he play more

humanly! The main thing is light has no compassion.nothing

For fahim----- do you know vicious circle of poverty? In the current state of BD, if you look

around you will get it. Giving you an example- so a boy has given 1000 taka for throwing a

cocktail/petrol bomb- he got a sick mother and a younger sister to feed: so he took it(suppose

he has no conscience)n without thinking about the consequencehe did itfor his mother and

sister. Light came and punished to burn the other peopleah! He did a very wrong thingbut

after killing him what will you do with the mother n sister? Do you have the power to give a

proper life? Or for the people who got burnt.SorryI forgot you got the power of killing only!

Killing only! But light should do something.isnt he a GOD!

Light did it.

He killed people.

He took in the hatred.

He made sacrifices.

But in return brought smiles to those who were neglected, betrayed, framed.---- why? To make

a better a place for the innocent? Solight thought killing the bad people make the world a

better place! So, what about other reasons?

Light-from anime I seea handsome boy who manipulated others people by his beautiful face

(Misa) and intelligent..his family is a well-fed familyhe gets good school and taking

care..oops! he didnt have a nag for sweet things! But a nag of killing of bad (!!!) people

I am giving my last comment by giving Buddhas quote--- We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Mehedi Hasan Himel : Let me start with a comment from lelouch,another legendary antihero

''"You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty."

^ this actually says almost everything. Light have to dirty his hand to reach his goal. There was

no other damn way.

Hmm, you know, that reminds me of someone called Hitler. He was also awesome and

decisive.

So what about it? He had his own view of justice like light. And they tried their best to fu lfill

them

"And he cares for his comrades [see: Ls reaction when Misa first killed the policemen at the TV

station]. Light was Ls only friend. This proves how much he actually has in life. And he cared for

that friend [even when he suspected him, even if it meant that proving himself right would

result in losing that one friend] until the end. He died trying to bring justice upon the wo rld."

> was the debate on to determine who is more humane than one? Never knew xD

As i said before light can't afford to show care and affection. And certainly light don't ne ed

comrades. Cz who knew when those "COMRADES" could betray him.

"He is a detective whose been unravelling crimes around the world & putting criminals to justice

according to the law.

He doesn't have any super power,but he has a gift->intellect& he's using that to do as much as

justice as he can."

> what are u trying to say?

L is more brilliant than Light? Can't see how that make L greater than light though. Light

outclassed L so many times. Even when he was confined in the cell. Was there DN with him?

Was there memories? But he managed to get everything back and triumphed over L

"Ami DN haate paile duidin pore L er sathe join kore combinely world theke crime saaf kortam"

^ LOL.

Lelouch(To Guilford) :"Let me ask you something, Lord Guilford. Suppose there is an evil that

justice cannot bring down. What would you do? Would you taint your hands with evil to destroy

evil? Or would you carry out your own justice and succumb to that evil?" '' that's what Light was trying to do. If that didn't make him great i wonder what else he coul d do

Sadmann Sporsho :" " ; -

>Im sorry? No difference between the government and Light? Correct me if Im wrong, the

government is made up of individuals chosen by the ordinary people [whatever the actual case

may be]. And there are something called rights. Every individual has the power to present his

side of the story before being judged by a jury of his peers. But, according to the above lo gic, we

should place lights judgment alone, over everything else. Well, let me ask you; does that really

seem logical? Fair? Would you trust a complete stranger to judge you and your loved ones? If a

guy came out of nowhere, killed a person you cherished and killed him before your eyes,

reasoning afterwards that he HEARD FROM SOME OTHER PEOPLE that he was a bad person,

what would you do?

No UNBIASED person, could ever reason that Light was indeed better [at least in a moral sense]

than L, much less about him being superior to innocent people. He used a good man serving hi s

country AND HIS FIANCE as his guinea pig for crying out loud.

Does you sympathy brings smile to those who've lost their loved ones? Does L help to bring joy

to masses?

>I admit it. L cannot bring happiness to the ones whove lost their loved ones by bringing

criminals to justice like Light can, by killing people who he doesnt even know, hasnt even given

a minutes thought.

Why is Light so perfect? Such wonderful waifu material.

Light did it.

He killed people.

He took in the hatred.

He made sacrifices.

But in return brought smiles to those who were neglected, betrayed, framed.

>Yes he wrote names on a notebook. Names of people who threatened him. Names of people

who had a mere chance of being a thorn in his way. Names of people who were said to be

criminals by the very lesser humans he judges. Such logic. Wow.

'Oh no, he is the great, L! He sits in his super apartment and eats icecreams and sweets!

>Funny, I remember L sleeping sitting on a chair. I also remember L working day and night on

peoples cases; and started even before Light ever thought such grand ideas.

For every evil that dies, a new one is born.

>I couldnt have said it better myself :)

So what about it? He had his own view of justice like light. And they tried their best to fulfill

them

:D :D I dont think it is necessary for me to say anything here. >He is indeed alike Hitler, isnt he?

:) :D

was the debate on to determine who is more humane than one? Never knew xD

>Im deeply sorry bhaiya. I forgot that being humane has no effect whatsoever on who is better.

Thanks for the reminder :)

Light outclassed L so many times.

>Now lets talk about intellectual prowess, shall we?

When we eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the

truth.

>For any ordinary-no, incredible detective wouldve come up dry against Light. But what L did,

discovering where Light was mere days after the event, would be nothing short of impossible.

Do you know what Light had? Let me fill you in; cheat codes. A MAGICAL book that kills the

person whose name and face he knows. And L actually, against all odds, figured it out. HE

FIGURED OUT A THING THAT WAS LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Outclassed by Light indeed. The logic

being; L died. So Light is smarter :)

Thanks for making my night memorable :)

.The Law doesnt protect people. People protect the law. People have always detested evil and sought out a righteous way of living. Their feelings The accumulation of

those peoples feelings are the law. Theyre neither the provisions nor the system. They are the

fragile and irreplaceable feelings that everyone carries in their hearts Compared to the power of

anger and hatred, they are something that can quite easily break down. People have prayed for

a better world throughout time. In order for those prayers to continue to hold meaning, we

have to try our best to protect it to the very end. We just cant give up on it. Tsunemori A kane (Psycho-Pass)

Sakib Mahmud Pretom : In our eyes what Light did was not Righteous at all. On the otherhand I

your eyes Light did what was right. And this will vary from person to person & the debate shall

continue so on.

" ; ? ?" -My answer is No. TBH I liked him in the 1st couple of episodes,but what he stared to go on

doing made it quite clear that he is definitely no t a messiah nor an angel of justice.

Now In terms of intellect & resources lets see how they compare while they faced each other:

Light:

- Light knew everything about the police force since his dad was the chief, hacked his computer

- Light had "the dumb wh*re" who did indeed have a few uses. She was a fear factor and a

danger to be around since she had the power to kill with only a face, as believed by Ryuzaki and

she could would do ANYTHING for light, making her the perfect pawn.

- Light had eventually two shinigami at his disposal, unseen, untouched and easily manipulated

(Apples? Ryuk?)

- High School education, limited his learning curve to that of what the teachers taught him

"probably already smarter than all of his high school teachers." Not smarter than Ryuzaki.

Ryuzaki:

- Five police officers with an average intelligence

- Lights dad, police chief

- Watari (Cameras? ok it was Watari)

- His education was recieved by Watari who "spent his life teaching gifted children", Watari was

also the "ultimate professor" allowing Ryuzaki to fully develop his intelligence, later hindered by

his role in the Kira investigation

I agree that they were pretty even in terms in of resources, however their resources, apart from

education should not be used to determine their intelligence. With that being said, their

resources determined who won, but not who was ultimately smarter. It did not take long for

Ryuzaki to determine where, how and why Light was killing people.

He accurately deduced who the first victim was and used the statistics of their times of death to

conclude that kira was a student. I must also add that lights intelligence contradicts logic. For

example, when under light was under surveillance he used a tv in a bag of potato chips to carry

out killing, we see him open a fresh bag of chips while cameras are capturing every one of h is

movements. In the next scene we see a small tv, a pencil and a piece of paper sticky taped to the

inside of the bag. The items appeared to have magically placed themselves into an unopened

bag of chips, i mean come on, not even houdini could have pulled that off.

Light never in the series gained the trust of Ryuzaki, Ryuzaki always suspected that Light was in

fact Kira and only allowed him to come close to him so that it would be easier to catch him.

Remember keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.

Now,according to the hardcore justice fanboys who want to achieve it by force,history

remembers the Victor.

And personally I would like to share some answers i found out on my own:

Was light able to achieve what he intended to do at the beginning?

-No. A big NO.

So did it help the world?

-Mostly killing and experimenting on criminals who are already caught?I don't think so.

What did he do to avenge the family of the murderers & give them justice?

-Kill the criminals as well as kill a LOT of INNOCENT people bringing the same sorrows and pain

to their family being a murderer himself.

So Light/L us ask?

-L all the way \m/

Oh! and the last thing is about comparing.Since people are comparing Light and his ideology to

people who have lived in the real as well as fictitious world to prove that we "need" him,I just

have ONE name for you. The man undoubtedly called to be the greatest man ever lived-Prophet

MD(SM). Do they have even a single thing in common?

Heck no! So your comparisons are invalid.

Thanks for this debate I'm sure we all enjoyed it :D

P.S: Don't you ever compare a scumbag like Light with the likes of Light because though it may

seem they had the same sort of "goal" at the beginning,Lelouch MADE the world a better place

while Light convinced peoples like you to take his side to justify him and carry out the cal l of his twisted mind.

Fahim Bin Selim : [I wanted to write this on my previous post, but accidently cleared the te xt and

was out of time for a 'rewrite' :

@Sadmann, yes he cared about his family... Before getting the notebook.

He cared about his life. His future.

But ofcourse all that changed, when he got the notebook. He got the power to change. And

CHANGE came before anything else.

Even before his family. Even before the possiblity of having a seemless life.

Could you do it?]

Have you forgotten the rules of the notebook? The most popular one. The consequence.

''The owner of the notebook will neither go to heaven nor hell''

'Do you know what true despair is? When we are happy or sad; even besides the flowerbeds of

Eden or down in the depths of inferno, 'feeling' something, pain or joy, makes us know of ou r

existance.

It is solitude that makes existance to fade.'

Light knew if he had used the notebook, he would go to 'naught'. An existance without any

feelings or emotions or any company. An existance we can not even imagine with our shallow

minds.

That's even worse than Hell! True despair!

I would not go into telling who was smarter. Because it is rather forgone. Light had a 'life', he

had family and he had to live to do as he was. Backlashes.

L however didn't have a 'life'. He was just a machine created by the 'wammy house', a sick

corporation turning orphans into lifeless, emotionless blobs.

L didn't have anything to hold him back. He could do, say anything. Anything!

If you are given choices:

a) you can work hard and you'll either win or draw a match; Guranteed.

b) you work harder and you'll lose.

In return some other people will win. Someone who you have never seen, someone who you

never knew or never will. Someone who might not be even born yet, but will get the benefit.

Will you chose 'b', will anyone in right mind choose 'b'?

But Light did, because he saw something other people could not see. He was not in the right

mind.

'It is the good things that us human remembers, but the greater things we forget,

misunderstand or never notice.'

Light did the best sacrifice anyone could. He sacrificed his existance for the future of the world.

And people misunderstood him. And forever will.

But that did not stop him.

Because he was above the thought procces of the likes of us.

'Great men thinks alike' The Greatest one thinks what nobody can dare.

L won. The End.
