You see, the Anti-Christ pretends to be Christ to win the trust of the ignorant. In the end, Near was right. Light was a crazed Serial Killer. But I did want to see Light win. Can't say why, I just left like Light should have won. He was smarter than what the ending suggested. But that's just my opinion. I think Light should have pulled a "Double Wammy!" He should have copied the Second Notebook [The one in his possession] And had the real one hidden while the fake was on the other guy. [Near Tells the Task Force to bring the notebook they have with them, but that it not be carried by Light, so another Task Force member carries it. That's what I mean by 'the other guy'] Also, as insurance, he should told his accomplice to tear pages out of the notebook for himself, and not to write them until he said so, BEFORE making the other copy. And not to hide the ripped out pages with the real notebook, but at anytime if he needed to use the real notebook, to use the notebook and not the pages. And on that day, Light should have told him to bring the pages he ripped out of the original with him, and Light should have left pages from his real notebook near the warehouse somewhere just in case. In the end, I guess he was too cocky... I really liked Light in some ways, but overall he was a bad guy, using people, killing people. 'Good' people don't do those sorts of things. With Power always comes Corruption, I.E. the willingness to use that power for your own benefit. You know, Light was kind of like Hitler. "Cleansing the World" "New World Order" Nazis Anybody? If Light had never found the Notebook, I believe he would have been a good guy. And got with Misa! But that's a whole other Notebook, huh? But that's beside the point. Near should have CLEARLY outsmarted Light. Light didn't look like he was losing his edge until the end, that's why it sucked. And Lights Death was to Pathetic. Honestly, he should have killed himself. Whipped out a gun and done himself in. That's how the Light I know would go out. He wouldn't have lost his sanity like that. [Well, maybe it was already gone, but still, you get my point.] With a BANG! Here's my ending: Just as Soon as No one Died... Light: *Looks Stunned* *Closes His Eyes* *Reaches in his Pocket* *Pulls out Desert Eagle* "You Win L... I'll see you in Hell NEAR!" *BANG!* And then that other guy [I forget his name] He should have burned the page with the names on it as a precaution after writing the names. There are no rules that say if the page is destroyed before the person who's name it written dies, the entry will be voided, so he should have done that! It would be the perfect ending. No Real Proof of Light being Kira, Light and Near Win. In some respects. But over all, Near was right, and Light Dies. It could have ended better in any case. Light is more the Anti-Christ.
You see, the Anti-Christ pretends to be Christ to win the trust of the ignorant.

In the end, Near was right.
Light was a crazed Serial Killer.

But I did want to see Light win.
Can’t say why, I just left like Light should have won. He was smarter than what the ending suggested. But that’s just my opinion.

I think Light should have pulled a “Double Wammy!”

He should have copied the Second Notebook
[The one in his possession]
And had the real one hidden while the fake was on the other guy.
[Near Tells the Task Force to bring the notebook they have with them, but that it not be carried by Light, so another Task Force member carries it. That's what I mean by 'the other guy']
Also, as insurance, he should told his accomplice to tear pages out of the notebook for himself, and not to write them until he said so, BEFORE making the other copy.

And not to hide the ripped out pages with the real notebook, but at anytime if he needed to use the real notebook, to use the notebook and not the pages.

And on that day, Light should have told him to bring the pages he ripped out of the original with him, and Light should have left pages from his real notebook near the warehouse somewhere just in case.

In the end, I guess he was too cocky…

I really liked Light in some ways, but overall he was a bad guy, using people, killing people. ‘Good’ people don’t do those sorts of things. With Power always comes Corruption, I.E. the willingness to use that power for your own benefit.
You know, Light was kind of like Hitler.
“Cleansing the World”
“New World Order”

Nazis Anybody?

If Light had never found the Notebook, I believe he would have been a good guy. And got with Misa! But that’s a whole other Notebook, huh?

But that’s beside the point.

Whipped out a gun and done himself in.
That’s how the Light I know would go out.
He wouldn’t have lost his sanity like that.
[Well, maybe it was already gone, but still, you get my point.]
With a BANG!

Here’s my ending:

Just as Soon as No one Died…

Light:

*Looks Stunned*
*Closes His Eyes*
*Reaches in his Pocket*
*Pulls out Desert Eagle*
“You Win L… I’ll see you in Hell NEAR!”
*BANG!*

And then that other guy
[I forget his name]
He should have burned the page with the names on it as a precaution after writing the names. There are no rules that say if the page is destroyed before the person who’s name it written dies, the entry will be voided, so he should have done that!

It would be the perfect ending.
No Real Proof of Light being Kira, Light and Near Win. In some respects.
But over all, Near was right, and Light Dies.

It could have ended better in any case.

Evil must exist for there to be good. "The light travels a long way only to see dark arrived first." The light needs dark to be strong. You know what I mean? I mean I'm huge fan of DN because of the grey area between Good and Evil. Unfortunately Evil presents itself to the world. Evil must exist for there to be good.

Death Note was an amazing series and it would have been awesome if the Light would have won in the end though this may sound weird to others I kinda wanted Light’s plan to work out ,yes innocent people died but at least it was for a worthy cause . who can honsetly say that they wouldn’t want to live in a world without crime and pain .

Excellent and most unique series i've seen in a long time. In the end I truely was sad to see light loose. I wanted to see him win and the world burn basically. The timing of the ending was great, as folks above have posted dragging it out much longer would have just created a boring repetative story. The one thing i wish they added, was light becoming a shinogami. His actions revitalized that dying world in some way shape or form. Some wrap up toward the shinogami and the Wammi Orphanage too.

The ending of death note was kind of boring and predictable(I think the live action movies have a better ending) and as soon as Light stopped being guy with good but flawed intentions to crazy dictator guy (around volume 9 I think) he became unlikeable.
