Ohba (the author) said: Light was “a young man who could understand the pain of others” when he first encountered the Death Note. If Ryuk never developed an interest in the human world, Light would have become “one of the greatest police leaders in the world” who, with L, worked against criminals. Ohba described Light’s life as “ruined” once he obtained the Death Note, and that Light became a victim of the Death Note “in many ways”.
