## His Evil Ranking

### What Makes Him Heinous?

* After discovering a mysterious black notebook which claims to be able to kill anyone, he decides to test it and kills his former tormentor with the notebook.
* He is extremely non-ambitious and turns his wish to improve the world into a power-hungry lust of power.
* He would usually skip class when he wants to, missing out on learning new things and he doesn't really seem to care.
* When Kamoda tells Light that Misa's family was murdered, Light looks up the case and uses the Death Note to kill the man responsible, Nishida Kyu.
* He is often frustrated by L Lawliet's smugness and duplicity and often abuses him.
* While being interrogated, he mockingly asks if L enjoys pushing him around and quips that L should take the lie detector test himself.
* When L unexpectedly dies afterwards, Light pretends to scream in horror and mourn his death, although this mourning is actually faux.
* Over the course of the series, he becomes much more ruthless and unpleasant and is simply a power-hungry and delusional serial killer who tortures people for fun and desires power from everything.
* While he initially reacts to the Death Note with horror and tries to throw it away, he grows to rely on and covet it over time.

### What Makes Him Irregular?

* He is far too protective for Almost Pure Evil, as he always tries his best to defend innocent people from crime as best as he can.
* He loves his girlfriend and genuinely cares about his little sister.
* He is affable to almost everyone he meets, and is much kinder than his manga counterpart.
* He is somewhat an anti-villain and an extremist, as he tried to rid the world of criminals and wanted to make the world more beneficial so that lots of lives would be better.
* His plans have a good impact on the world and he is determined to help make the world a better place by stopping many criminals.
* He is remorseful for killing two people and even apologized to his father about it.
* He has a true sense of honour, as he would always help someone in danger and respects his friends when they need it the most.
* He has many Pet the Dog moments and is usually a nice person most of the time.
