My Favorite Fictional Hero


My favorite fictional hero is named Light Yagami, or in the original Japanese comic, Yagami Raito. He is the main character in the comic Death Note. He finds a notebook that, when he writes someones name in it, kill them. He has to know their name and have seen their face before. Raito is considered a villain by most because, even though he only kills criminals on death row, he's still murdering.

Raito is my favorite hero because I think like he does. I'm very dark, and I like to use words to my advantage instead of my fists. Also, Raito likes to keep his cool and stay under cover. He's smart enough to talk himself out of getting caught by the world's greatest detective. Also, his humor is very dry and dark, like mine. In short, I can relate to him.

In most stories, the main character is generally a role model. In this story, Raito is not what someone would call "A Role Model" considering that he kills people who he thinks are bad. He also tends to lie, and even lied to his dad so he could pass away in bliss. He's deceitful and tricks a girl with half truths into helping him.

  2. Ha, i know what you mean when you say your like Light. But when you think about it every one is, because every one has a dark side and yet they still want to do good. And every one lies, its no big deal. But ya, in all Death Note Pwns.

  3. Interesting. Does he write their name in the book in front of them and watch them die, or does he doe it when he's not around them?

  4. Well, he usually writes when he's not around them. He can also control the time of their death and, up to a certain point, their actions before death. In one case, he pre-wrote the name, time and actions, and then carried it out so the outcome would be true. So in that case, he told the victim what he wanted him to do, and the plan was carried out, ending with the person dying right on schedule.
