Hello!
PITMIL Editorial Board.

This time, I'm going to give you a seriously bad idea!

My favorite character is Moon Yagami!

I really like Moon Yagami too much and am always fascinated by his thoughts and actions...His complex character and his struggle between his ideals and reality is irresistible!

Please stay with us if you would like.

Seriously, let me speak! This discussion is especially hot! It's so bad, I can't stop talking about it!

Was Moon Yagami Really Defeated - A Study of L's Succession and the Collapse of “God

I'm already wondering! Is the death of the moon in the last episode really a defeat? Or is it the culmination of his thought...

The reason I focused on this theme is because I wanted to know how much the lunar ideal has collapsed!

Summary of Points for Consideration

Moon's end was not just a defeat, but symbolized the collapse of the illusion of the new world he had set out to create. A deeper meaning is hidden at the intersection of his and L's ideas.

The lunar ideal and its collapse is a real problem!

To be honest, when I saw the scene where Moon was defeated by Nia, I couldn't stop crying!

Moon risked everything for his own ideals,He wanted to reign as "God.". However, his ideals came to a crashing halt and he fell to the bullets.I hope you all feel how symbolic this moment is!

The following scenes in the work were divine:

  • The moment Moon sees through Nia's plan.and his knowledge and insight were exploding!
  • Last confrontation sceneIn the following section, Moon's calmness broke down, revealing his humanity.
  • L's vision at the time of Moon's deathsymbolizes his innermost unresolved feelings!

My interpretation,Moon's final days were the result of his martyrdom for his beliefs,It was also a sign that he was trying to remain "divine!

I was seriously surprised! The last time Moon saw L.......! Yikes! My heart is tightening!

What was behind the Moon's ideals

Why did the moon try to reign as a "god"?

Specifically:

  • Point 1: The He tried to control people in the name of "justice."
  • Point 2: The Underlying this was a fear of humans.
  • Point 3: The His ideals were also a reflection of his own fears.

In this light, one can understand how self-centered Moon's behavior was!

Explore the connection between Moon and L's ideas.

The shadow of L was always behind Moon's defeat!

From the 107th to the last episode of the manga (episode 108), Moon's behavior is often portrayed in contrast to that of L.The contrast between L's vision of "a world where imperfect people judge each other" and Moon's vision of "dictatorship by God" is very interesting.

  • Moon wanted to "create an ideal world by eliminating crime.
  • L believed that he wanted to prove justice by catching people.
  • The two men had different goals, but at the core of both was the desire for justice.

So this is what I mean! They both wanted "justice" but in very different ways!

Differences between Moon's and L's ideology

In other words:

  • Conclusion 1: The The rule by the "gods" of the moon was inhumane and based on fear.
  • Conclusion 2: The L's "judgment between human beings" is somewhat warming.
  • Conclusion 3: The Ultimately, the two had the same goal, but their approaches were radically different.

This makes me feel that Moon's actions were truly tragic!

What I saw at the end of the month

At the moment of Moon's death, he saw a vision of L.Have you ever thought about what this means?

This is my favorite part! The description of Moon's deathbed, it makes me cry~! I felt like I could hear the cries of his heart!

Upon further reflection, the L that Moon saw in his final moments may symbolize the "true justice" he was seeking.He wanted to remain a "god," but to do so he needed to connect with others.

The Depth of the Moon's Thoughts

At this moment, I believe that Moon was fighting his own loneliness. The ideals he strove for were also the factors that ultimately led to his own downfall...

Final Thoughts.

What emerges from this discussion is that Moon's death was the collapse of his ideals, and at the same time his ideas were passed on to L.

I regret his end because I love the moon and I wish his ideals were more widespread.

My love for DEATH NOTE is eternal...

I'll always love Yagami Tsuki...

Now we're going to dig even deeper! The appeal of DEATH NOTE is not limited to the psychological portrayal of the characters and the storyline; there are many themes that make the viewer think!

A look into the abyss of the moon's heart may lead to further discoveries!

The Paradox of the Moon and Human Existence

What exactly was the "god" that Moon was pursuing?His actions were both self-centered and disrespectful of the lives of others.This contradiction was a factor in his tragic fate.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Moon's choices always involved loneliness!

The Truth Behind the Loneliness of the Moon

I suspect that behind Moon's attempt to reign as a "god" was his own deep loneliness.He tried to create a "perfect" world by excluding others, but his actions actually isolated him: !!!!

  • Point 1: The Moon was too adamant about his ideals and disconnected from his surroundings.
  • Point 2: The His loneliness eventually became a factor that consumed him.
  • Point 3: The The moon has lost its connection with others because of its desire to be a "god"!
Summary of Discussion on Lunar Solitude

Moon tried to forget his loneliness by becoming a "god," but this resulted in his own further loneliness.

I knew the moon was lonely...it makes me sad to think about that~!

The duality created by the idea of the moon

Moon's "justice" also became an instrument of domination over others.The concept of right and wrong in him always influenced his behavior!

Let us now consider what duality lurks in the idea of the moon!

  • Duality 1:. He seeks to eliminate evil for the sake of justice, but his methods are inhumane.
  • Duality 2:. Moon tries to create justice with his own hands, but in reality it has distorted his sense of morality.
  • Duality 3:. His ideology seems idealistic, but in reality it produces self-centered results.

This duality makes the moon even more fascinating! I can't get enough of the conflict in her heart!

Influence of Lunar Thought

The Moon's ideology has a great influence on the other characters!Especially considering that the story would not have been possible without him, such as Nia and Mero, it shows how influential the moon is!

The impact of his ideas on those around him will continue even after his death...!

What we want to talk about in the end

DEATH NOTE is not just battles and suspense, it is a work filled with deep psychological and philosophical themes!What does the Moon's ideology, solitude, and pursuit of justice ask of us?

Through this work, I have also learned about my own righteousness.
