[002] Ramidel Current Version
Changed line(s) 3 from:

to:
* \\\"Was Light corrupted by his power?\\\" The answer is unambiguously yes.
* \\\"Was Kira\\\'s stated goal, the creation of a perfect world by the elimination of all criminals, a good one?\\\" That question is not answered, because Light himself doesn\\\'t care about it anymore. As the last section mentions, there isn\\\'t a clear answer to this question; it\\\'s for the reader to decide.

Both themes occupy a prominent place in the manga, but they\\\'re very much separate themes, and the fact that the first one can be answered allows the story to end without a hard answer to the second one.

To emphasize, these lines are from the trope description:

* The antagonist is originally set up as doing something that falls in the moral (and legal) gray area, then [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumps off the slippery slope]] or is revealed to be a StrawHypocrite.
* The protagonists are put into the morally gray situation, then another consideration makes it much more black-and-white. The decision is made on that consideration, with the original considerations becoming moot. No Third Option necessary, just a Second Question.
