* EntitledBastard: He at first believes he was "chosen" to be the wielder of the Death Note, but Ryuk immediately corrects him that [[ItAmusedMe it was "given" to him because Ryuk just wanted to see what would happen if he dropped it into the real world]] and calls him out for his arrogance.

** Strangely, he intended to do this at first, as he assumed that Ryuk had come to kill him when the Shinigami introduced himself. Ryuk scoffs at this and says he's just an observer, which helps enflame Light's ambitions.

** His inability to accept this fact is pretty much the root cause of everything that happens in the series, [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain from his descent into villainy,]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero to the lives he destroys.]] If he just simply acknowledged at the start that killing was wrong, that [[TheAce he of all people]] made [[HumansAreFlawed an honest to goodness mistake]] (granted, killing someone, even if they're an AssholeVictim, is a hell of a mistake to make) and [[ForWantOfANail went through with getting rid of the Death Note as he initially considered,]] the ''entire story'' would never have come to pass.

** Genuinely thought Teru went too far when he ex-criminals who already served their time. Even Light knew that's pointless and counterproductive. He also believed Teru announcing he'll kill people simply for being lazy was a step too far. The latter bit is eventually subverted though; Light later admits that he is indeed toying with the thought of also targeting "unproductive" people at some point, and his main problem with Teru doing it was he made the move "too soon".

* PragmaticVillainy: When Mikami begins targeting lazy individuals who don't contribute directly to society, Light disapproves, but not out of any moral grounds. Rather, he believes it's too soon for them to do so; once all the criminals are dead and Kira is regarded as God, Light fully intends to prune out other undesirable elements from "his" world. After all, showing lenience towards those who repent would help sell his image as a god that should be worshipped.
