DEATH NOTE!!!! .:.Master Thread.:.
hostghost:
I think that the debate to wether the Death Note can be used for good is quite silly.
Killing is never part of "good". Its maybe part of "better", but not "good".
They should'nt have given us so many characterflaws in Lights character so early in the series, he is kinda damned to failiure from the begining.
Kobra.ro:
i dunno why noone noticed this yet but for 5 ep. allready (dunno 4 sure bout the fifth cuz i didn't c it yet) u have called Ryuku Ryuk & the worst u've been calling Raito Light ... where does that come from? because raito is the word made by borrowing light from english? ... if it was so then it should have been written in katakana but as u can c in the third ep. (i think that was it) when u get 2 c Raito through Ruku's eyez u c his name written in KANJI & that is only posible with japanese names only ... now i'm not here 2 criticise bcuz i read the manga & it's just 2 great but just seeing Ryuk & Light in every ep. is gettin kind of annoyin' ... i wouldn't want 2 get 2 the last episodes 2 c u still call Raito Light :-\ ... aanyhow @ least consider this post .. uz i'm still gonna watch the series but Light just sounds so eeew >_< ... aanyhow the rest is up 2 u ;) ... ja na
Iterion:
Before you rant about the names being incorrect please do some research. Light is his actual name, and yes it would be pronounced raito and written in katakana. However, the kanji that you see in the series is a kanji that has one meaning of light. The subbers are correct in using Light as his name. The same goes for Ryuk. Ryuk is what his name was intended to be, but because of the nature of the Japanese language it is pronounced and written in Japanese as ryuku.
Good information can be found on wikipedia here:

Edit:
Also, you might want to go to www.jisho.org and search for akari. The one you are looking for is probably the third one down. Meaning lamplight, light (in general), and brightness. So Light's name might also be a play on how he is the brightest student in Japan. Which is quite a crafty thing that the creators of the manga have done.

re the discussion about having a Death Note for yourself:
There is an old proverb: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." I'd say that says it all, wouldn't you? ;)
