Light Yagami is what the world needs

My opponent contends that the BOP lies with me and not him. This is false. My opponent is the one putting forth the claim that Yagami should be the leader (or God) of the new world and it is therefore his responsibility to prove this. Unless my opponent can give adequate justification for why Light Yagami is the best candidate for the power of the 'death note' and therefore the best candidate for "God", this debate stands in favour of con. However, to get this debate going I will provide what is basically the only argument needed to completely discredit Light Yagami from being worthy of the role as "God", the words of the co-creator of the character himself, Tsugami Ohba:"Ohba described Light's life as "ruined" once he obtained the Death Note, and that Light became a victim of the Death Note "in many ways," Ohba described Light as initially having good intentions despite being "very conceited". Ohba also describes Light as having a "warped. .. desire to be godlike," bearing love for his family, and intending to transform the world into "a better place. " Death Note 13: How to Read also states that Light, "uncompromising" when achieving his ideals, "sullied" himself by using the Death Note and that his actions "may have been the result of the purity within him" prior to obtaining the Death Note". (1)Notice how Ohba describes Light as being "pure" prior to receiving the deathnote. Meaning since Light obtained the deathnote, he has been corrupted, or "warped" as Ohba said it himself. It's clear that the character "Light Yagami" was made intentionally and meticulously to be the absolute worst person possible to receive the deathnote. He is a genius, but his genius allows him to perform mental gymnastics around his moral compass to better suit his own needs as evidence by him justifying his father's death as a "necessary sacrifice" despite the fact that his father's death was only made necessary by Light's desire to not be caught so he could continue killing people he finds 'unworthy' of life. It's also worth noting that Light's final request to his father before he (his father) dies is for him to kill Mello, one of the people trying to capture and bring down Light Yagami (episode 19, "Father"). (2) This further shows Light's selfish and unsympathetic nature. Finally, I would like to site the character description of Light Yagami provided by the Deathnote wikia page:"Through use of the Death Note, Light quickly begins to develop a cruel and malevolent nature. He becomes completely devoid of love, compassion and mercy. He views himself as the only rightful savior of mankind and that all his actions are justified, no matter how inhuman they might be. He is shown to even be willing to sacrifice his own family to obtain his goals. " (3)Given that both the creator of the character AND the fan base are virtually in complete agreement that Light Yagami is a cruel and corrupted individual, it is clear that he is not a good choice for leading the world whatsoever. Before I conclude, keep in mind that unless Pro's rebuttal both discredits my argument and justifies his position, he has not fulfilled the BOP and therefore loses the debate. I look forward to your response. (1) . http://en.wikipedia.org...(2) . http://en.wikipedia.org... (3) . http://deathnote.wikia.com...
