Line 83:
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: [[Playing with a Trope|Though]] ''[[Playing with a Trope|he]]'' [[Playing with a Trope|doesn't think of it as a curse.]]
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Brown hair, brown eyes.
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Horror has never [[media:lightbedtimefanart.jpg|been]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110923183047/http://view.thespectrum.net/series/death-note-volume-01.html?ch=Volume+01&page=46 so] [http://www.macrochan.org/view.php?u=DWFPNREYPYS4DFJWR35L6US637WUVJST adorable.] Many people have remarked that he [http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=death%20note%20light%20motivational&order=9&offset=24#/d3myg5u looks] [http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=death%20note%20light%20motivational&order=9&offset=72#/d41mxwp a bit like] [[Zac Efron]].
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Light manages to avoid most major villain pitfalls... {{spoiler|until the end.}}
** [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Similar to how Misa seems to be under the impression she's living in a [[Thinks Like a Romance Novel|Romance Novel]], Light seems to think he's living in a [[Shonen Genre|Shonen Manga]] which, while technically true, he's an [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|idealist]] living in a [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|cynical world]]. Light sees himself as [[The Hero]] and [[The Chosen One]] - through the sheer power of [[The Determinator|determination]] and his [[Narcissist|genius]] [[Guile Hero|plans]] [[Tautological Templar|that are always right]] [[Utopia Justifies the Means|he will make this world a better place]]. He thinks of the Death Note as just a tool, no different then a gun. [[Black and White Morality|Heroes can use guns on bad guys and still be considered the heroes.]] [[Sarcasm Mode|So why would people ever think what he's doing was wrong?]]
Line 119:
** Averted in the second live-action film, wherein he {{spoiler|writes Soichiro's name in the Death Note, [[Even Evil Has Standards|shocking even Misa to the point of tears]]. And just when we thought it couldn't get worse, it did: he dies in Soichiro's arms (who, by the way, survives here), begging him to believe that he [[Freudian Excuse|acted as Kira to put justice, which Soichiro had taught him about since childhood, into effect]]}}.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: 1) He is initially dismayed when {{spoiler|Mikami's}} killing spree extends even to {{spoiler|relatively innocent people guilty of such minor acts as being lazy}}, but later thinks to himself only that it's "too early to be making statements like that," suggesting he may agree. Explicit in the manga when he actually toys with this very idea early on in the story. 2) Light set up matters in the second arc so that he couldn't kill his little sister without incriminating himself. Though that's after he considers actually doing it. 3) In the anime Light looks quite irritated when [[Jack the Ripoff|a second Kira]] appears and uses his name to kill innocent newscasters and police officers for "no good reason."
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Let's see, you've got like every background character in episode 1, Ryuk has to follow him around everywhere, Raye Penber The Stalker, L and his weird obsession and surveillance cameras, [[
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To L.
* [[Evil Gloating]]: He just can't resist it ...
Line 492:
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: With Light as the [[Villain Protagonist]].
* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: The public and the police don't trust L because he hides behind a computer screen.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the English dub, L is played by Alessandro Juliani, known to ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Hikikomori]]
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: He is almost certain it's Light from the very beginning but instead of say [[Unperson|nabbing him in the middle of the night]] or [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|just shooting him]] he insists on waiting until he has 100% proof before making an arrest. [[Justified Trope|Of course, killing him without evidence that he's right would pretty easily turn the police against him, especially since the police chief is Light's father]].
Line 642:
* [[Caught in the Rain]]: During the opening sequence of the first season, Light offers Misa his hand as she walks through the rain towards him.
* [[Cleavage Window]]: In the shape of a heart, no less.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Light is ''hers''. [[
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Misa certainly does not live in the same world as most other people.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Her official color seems to be light blue.
Line 668:
* [[Dissonant Laughter]]: When Rem agrees to {{spoiler|''murder L''}} at Light's request, Misa's reaction is to laugh and clap her hands. In the anime, she even hugs Rem.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Comes with the job of being the second Kira. When she {{spoiler|regains her Death Note and finds Light's note asking her to kill L, she gladly, even triumphantly, considers it. Her distress comes only when she realizes that she can't remember his name.}}
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: Light and Misa have a very unhealthy "relationship" if it can be called that at all. Misa [[Stalking Is Love|stalks Light]] and [[
** To be fair, this seems to be for a few reasons. Firstly, it doesn't seem too outrageous to think that Misa is just so childish and airheaded that she doesn't realize that that's not how a healthy relationship is supposed to work (if she knew how a healthy relationship was supposed to work, she probably wouldn't have stuck with Light). She is also fairly smart despite her airheadedness and may realize that Light doesn't really like her that much and would probably kill her if she didn't keep wrapped around her finger like that. We'll just say their "relationship" is really screwed up.
** And to be fair, Misa is 5' and 79 lbs, and not muscled or trained. Light is 5'10. He's slender, true, but he's also fully grown and has been proven to be athletic. This is a pretty significant difference in physical mass. Violence in a relationship is never right, but Misa striking Light is a different situation, physically speaking, than Light striking Misa.
Line 808:
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: With Light; they are engaged in the second arc.
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: After she was released from captivity, she spent her next scene in pj's, without makeup and with her hair down ([[media:17DNNormalMisa 1688.jpg|more or less like this]]). More than one viewer thought she looked quite nice like that.
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: Had her parents not been killed when she was a little girl, she would've possibly grown into the same [[Idol Singer]]... without the [[Ax Crazy]] [[
* [[Villain Protagonist]]
* [[Villain Song]]: "Misa no Uta", sung while she's ''killing people'', no less.
Line 818:
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: Used to avoid attracting attention while tracking down Light and later Higuchi.
* [[Woman in Black]]
* [[
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: The Second Kira's standard uniform.
