Death Note Episode 8

So how do we evaluate Light's killings so far, given the information Light had at the time? When testing out the Death Note, he killed one guy who was harassing a schoolgirl - this seems unjustifiable in the situation. Also I note that this was an altercation where Light could have intervened directly, but the fact that he didn't shows the hidden cowardice in the character. He also killed the hostage taker at the day-care. This might seem more justifiable, although he killed based on a news report, without direct knowledge of the actual situation. He then killed hundreds of criminals and accused criminals - this is also questionable on several levels. For starters, accused criminals haven't been found guilty yet, and Japan does have the presumption of innocence. On the dark side of that, Japan's conviction rate of 99.9% is problematic - it seems basically certain that not all convicted criminals in Japan's jails are guilty - and executing them would be morally unjustified. He then went on to kill Lind L Taylor, Raye Pember, and others... I don't think any of Light's use of the Death Note is morally justifiable.

Geeze, now I can't unsee it: Tim totally has anime-protag hair.

The ice cream thing is not much of a thing. L lights sweets and his assistant was sharing with everyone. Also, funny fact, not everyone got 2 scoops, the captain (Light's dad) got three. Also, regarding the end. You asked if he wasn't supposed to take his trash out. He did, placed it all in a single bag his mom was holding, and then she took 2 bags out, and they show us how the bags are destroyed by the trash truck as Ryuk (shinigami) asks Light for the cost of the mini TV that Light had inside the bag of ships (Because it was in his trash can which he just gave to his mom and his mom took to the truck and it was destroyed). Basically erasing the evidence that he had that, but also losing it which is a monetary loss I guess. I hope I made it clear for you and can't wait for the next episode or episodeS, hopefully the latter! See you around Tim!

As I wrote in my last comment. Having a death note would not mean you can easily just change the world for the better. Assuming your goal was to make the world a better place, killing convicted criminals like Light would not do it. Also it would definitely be morally wrong anyway you look at it. If we take USA as an example. Did the killing of healthcare CEO change the healthcare system or did killing of Charlie kirk change the political discourse for the better. obviously not. Lone person adventurism is not the answer to make good change in the world. Now the counter argument is that with the dead note you would not only kill one person. you could destroy the whole particular system. Even then would the system change and if it was Destroyed, what would fill the vacuum. Realistically I don't think death note could bring the desired change. A lone person able to change the world would need to be someone with superman levels of power and even then it could be messy. Even still if I had the death note it would be a struggle to never use it. So I would prefer not having it.

I like how you were confused about the ice cream at the start. L has an extreme sweet tooth, last episode for the coffee scene he effectively dumped multiple sugar cubes into his coffee
