Most anime protagonists either work hard to gain strength or learn a valuable lesson to achieve their dreams, and watching them accomplish this throughout their respective series is satisfying. However, this isn’t always the case, and there are generally two main reasons for this. One still leads to a well-written and complex character, it’s just hard for many fans to agree with their actions as they develop, branding them controversial. The other makes a character controversial because of poor writing choices that lead to an underdeveloped or, in the worst cases, completely bland character.Death Note’s Light Yagami and Attack on Titan’s Eren Yeager are two of anime’s most famous and controversial protagonists. Both start out believing that what they’re doing is right for humanity, only to end up wiping out a large percentage of it. There are many other great, dark examples of controversial main characters, some of whom are criticized by many fans who feel that they aren’t well-written.Ultimately, though, Light is consumed by his hubris. He believes he’ll achieve his goals no matter what, and doesn’t expect the appearance of L’s successors, Mello and Near. Near ultimately creates a fake Death Note that lures Light into a trap, going to the warehouse where Near’s plan successfully unfolds and outs Light’s identity as Kira. Some fans are happy to see Light finally get his comeuppance, while others don’t believe his defeat was justified.
