Death Note ep. 7 UNEDITED REACTION (early access)

This is my FAVORITE episode in the series. The tension, the buildup, the near-miss of paths crossed, the SCORE, the cinematography; there are so many reasons to love this episode. Though I will admit, I don't think I've ever watched this show in the original Japanese, just as affecting as the English voice work. It may be even better. There IS another moment in the show that I absolutely love although it is much farther along in the series. I am really looking forward to hearing it in Japanese. And don't worry, to those interested (and especially those who aren't,) I will let you know when that moment is. XD

Oh goodness, look at those expressions in the thumbnail!

As a philosophy student, it all depends on how you interpret evil, bad, and good. Or it depends on whether such things exist at all. People frequently define our actions as good or bad based on which actions we enjoy the most versus which we despise the most. When you look at an action and someone tells you where this thing called "good" or "bad" is in it or what "good" or "bad" is, you're kind of stuck because it's a concept or universal that we attach to things. Also, there is the concept of God, and some may argue that if God is all good, why are we questioning the actions it has created? Shouldn't they all be good? Then there's the idea that if God despised the act of murder, why did it create something it despised or didn't want us to do it in the first place? There are numerous religious debates. For me, there is probably no such thing as good or bad in any action. There are only actions that we either love or despise depending on the person. Good or bad, it may simply be something to deter others from committing those actions. But if that's the case, it's easier to just say this is why you shouldn't do this action or this is why you should do this action. Instead of using a broad concept such as good or bad, which typically refers to positive or negative comparisons. That being said, I agree that there is a spectrum of positive and negative actions. For example, winning the lottery will definitely be more positive than negative, whereas murdering someone for vengeance will be more negative because it is a selfish pursuit to please oneself while harming someone else for their benefit or reasons. Furthermore, the concepts of good and bad can be expressed as all good or all bad. Which cannot be the case because all of our actions, whether good or bad, can have some positive and negative situations attached to them; thus, there hasn't been an action in this world that has been entirely positive or negative. Light is literally justifying genocide, which is a pretty bad action, but it shows a positive situation of getting rid of all the harm in society, which can be seen as positive in his perception. If you believe that murderers are evil and that the best way to get rid of them is to murder/kill them, your moral philosophy is contradictory. Because you have just stated that murder is evil, you cannot remove them from the world by killing them, as this would make you an evil person. In this world, there are only actions, in my viewpoint. But, on occasion, I take the consequentialist viewpoint to be fair. I struggle with ethics because the boundaries between good and bad are so vague. Our reality is built on laws of nature, and those laws simply have actions that many of us would agree are positive or satisfying, as well as negative or dissatisfying. Well, I'd argue that each action has a little bit of both when viewed in different contexts and with different justifications. Even the worst things can provide a small amount of positive experience. However, the worse actions can be positive because it's primarily motivated by pleasure and selfishness. Like Light, killing Naomi Misora was for both his goal and, as you mentioned, pleasure. Nevertheless, I can understand Light's point of view that if you got rid of all the people who harm society, you'd just have a society of people who don't do those things. But, whether or not Light writes names in the book, I assume there will always be people who commit those heinous crimes. I assume this because natural laws aren't going away and people have the ability to carry out those actions. All Light does is scare people into not making a commitment in doing those actions. Similar to what the police do at times to dissuade criminals from committing those acts. In a way, Light is committing a form of genocide by killing all those who are harmful to society. Even then, what you said was somewhat true in that there will never be a time when Light does not kill an innocent person because the moment someone innocent goes against him, he has no choice but to kill them. The problem of what to do with criminals is so difficult because there is nothing one can do. All society can do is try to reduce the number of criminals while also ensuring that people have satisfying lives, which is difficult in this world. Prisons, in my opinion, do not solve a problem, but I understand why we have them because where else are we going to put all of our problems but in one big box? But I'd love to hear your thoughts. Don't be afraid to express your thoughts on what you agree or disagree with. At the end of this anime series. I guess the best question is whether you would be able to resist using the Death Note if you found it. I genuinely think that many of us would make use of it.

I love this episode to. It's so sad but intense. My favorite line was why do you keep looking at the watch? Well, it's because.... I'm Kira. Naomi Misora was a very important piece of evidence. Unfortunately Light got to her before L.

❤️ it’s one of my fav episodes. Thanks for reacting!
