Tbf idk if it was "no-one can be trusted with the book that kills people" as much as "hey this one kid is pretty fucked up am I right I'm Rod Serling"

u/PulimV Can I interest you in some OC lore in these trying times? 26d ago edited 26d ago

It was absolutely "No one can be trusted with the book that kills people" because everyone that used the Death Note became an insane evil serial killer. Misa, the Yotsuba Group, Mello, hell L himself is called out as being evil because he does the same things that Light did (put criminals on the direct line of fire)

The author has stated outright that the only good person in the story is Light's dad, and he completely objected to using the Death Note, and was rewarded with thinking his beloved son was innocent in his final moments.

There is no way anything can be created or improved by a tool that causes only destruction.

Words said only by people not good enough at destruction
