Light Yagami's Final Speech English Dub

Episode 37

[carolynharris]

The person who voiced light yagami gave one of the best eng dub performance I've seen

[TotalTech.]

This scene alone pretty much confirms my theory that Light Yagami is Kira.
It's subtly hinted at throughout the show, but this scene alone confirms my suspicion.

[nilbastagul]

Matsuda: But we set up cameras in your house . You can’t be kira
Light: I took a potato chips and ate it

[mattnoce]

The “would they have kept going?!” Gives me chills

[citizenvulpes]

The fact that kira light knew himself so well that he could even manipulate the side of himself that was innocent, he's a scary man.

[GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

"There was no other way! The world HAD to be fixed! A purpose given to ME!! Only I can do it... WHO ELSE COULD'VE DONE IT AND COME THIS FAR?! WOULD THEY HAVE KEPT GOING?!" That delivery is BONE chilling! And the song in the background?! Wow! Brad Swaile is an amazing actor!

[helrishorror]

This deserves more views. Been looking for a dub version everywhere

[faizanahmadassociates]

I never thought a crime confession could be this dramatic

[PotsNpans]

I love the reaction of the task force at 0:16. They’re finally meeting the lunatic we’ve been hearing the inner thoughts of for 36 episodes.

[nexosim]

He went from being an innocent citizen to being an egomanic

[aizensvank]

*“There was no other way the world had to be fixed!”* dub gets me everytime

[toastycheesecakesforme]

“Would they have kept going” is such a good fucking bit.

[SassafrasTee]

I love the psychology behind Light Yagami. I noticed that before he became Kira, he was portrayed as super normal, in fact perfect. He had good looks, the best grades, and a family that is flawless. However, there was one negative trait Light had before the notebook; boredom. When he has an inner dialogue about the world being rotten, Light appears bored. So not only did the death note allowed him to improve society, but to entertain himself. He took L and N’s declarations to catch him as games/ challenges further proving that Light wanting some stimulation. In my opinion, I am sure Light would have been a serial killer if he had not found the notebook. I also realized that the notebook is associated with intelligence/ school and on the other hand represents secrets/ dark desires/ childishness . It makes sense that an honor roll student would have that as a weapon of choice. The notebook, Light as a student, heck even apple’s associates with school theme.

[semontea]

The speech is SO strong! At that moment I knew he was wrong but I was still on his side

[sdwhitesox]

Can we all appreciate how even as Light's world is falling apart, he's still dressed up in a suit and tie, looking like he's ready to take your mother to prom? The narcissistic psychopath had style, you can't deny

[erickflostar]

I just finished death note last night and holy shit it's been sticking with me since. Thank you for uploading

Light's last speech in manga, "That's right, I am Kira. In that case, what will you do? Kill me here? Listen, I am Kira. And also, God of the new world. Right now in the world, Kira is law. I'm only preserving the order. This is our reality. At this point, Kira represents righteousness. He is mankind's hope. Are you going to kill me? Is that really okay? Catching Kira in the past, it may well have been an act of justice. However, now it's clearly a crime. The people's will has changed. Or is it you just want to feel the personal satisfaction of catching Kira? It's been 6 years since Kira's first appearance, war no longer exists, all brutal crimes have nearly died, and worldwide crime has been reduced by 70%. However, the world is still despicable. There are too many rotten people. Therefore, the world must be rid of them. Humans are in pursuit of happiness, and they have a right to be happy. However, they can't because of the portion of spoiled ones who abruptly and easily, cut that short. It's not an accident. It's because of the despicable people who are alive, that it's inevitable. When I first had the notebook in my hands... No, even before that, the world had sunk to rock bottom. Humanity was as rotten as could be. If you look at it closely, even though there are people looking to be happy, certifying whether they're with or without harm, or if their life has value or not, evil can only produce more evil. The nasty people cause these evil deeds to occur. If this is spread throughout the earth, the weak people will learn from them and become just as rotten themselves, and someday, change their perspective to believe that it's okay. Evil people, despicable people... They are the ones who should be destroyed. Isn't death the sole remedy for evil which has no salvation? Yet people rot, and do not die. Thus, my approach strikes at the very root of the evil which brought this world about. The evil are judged, those who would harm others are judged also. It's taken no more for people's perception to change, they begin to realize the proper way to live as human beings. The right to have happiness, we all possess it equally. No, we're entitled to it. It can't be gained by attacking, defaming, much less killing others and to not hinder each other's happiness, to give each other the rights and respect they deserve, to strive for each other's happiness- that is how humanity should be. When the world changes, so do the people, they grow more capable of kindness, those who refuse to renounce their evil ways regardless are not fit to live as humans. As the most gifted beings on the planet, humans are meant to move forward, yet we've been moving backwards! A rotten world, politics, justice, education.. What makes this world right? Yet someone has to... When the notebook came into my possession, I realized I had to do it. No, only I could do it! I was well aware that killing people is crime in itself, yet at that point, it was the only way to make things right! I thought to myself that someday people will come to realize this as much, and regard it as an act of justice! I had no choice but to act as Kira, It was destiny given to me! I was chosen to renew this rotten world, to bring about true peace- a utopia! Using this notebook... Could anyone else follow through? Come this far? Achieve this objective?! Couldn't anyone, with a single notebook, lead the world, lead humanity in the right direction? Only foolish people of low caliber would use it for personal greed, for themselves. Not once have I considered my own interests! I'm totally different from those that attach their own thoughts onto the weak, and profit from them! It's these villainous people that are the enemy to the world. Yes. Only I can do this... To create a new world... Standing at the top, guiding them along the correct path. Only I can do it... Think about it. Do you want to return to a rotten world? Do you want to take back the changing thoughts of the people? Even you should understand. There are people in this world that we clearly would be better off without. If it's justifiable to kill harmful pests, then why is it wrong to kill harmful people? Is it really best to destroy Kira here? Will it really be beneficial to the world? What will come from arresting me here? Isn't it only to satisfy yourself? Isn't it just for the sake of your own ego? The one in front of your eyes may be Kira, but he is also the god of the new world!"

[nateds]

This speech really proved to me that this wasn't all just an ego trip for light. He actually believed he was fixing the world.

[Anonymous-wiig]

He been holding that laugh in for seven years bruh 💀

[yitaowang]

The dub for death note is honestly amazing because for most other anime, the english dub is usually awful or comes out as second rate to the original. But for this one...
