Death Note - Love and Madness

Death Note#32 Selection

So Light still has some use by using half of the Death Note papers to write in while giving the rest to a new believer of Kira, name Teru Mikami. And for that, he was very grateful to use it to delete the bad people for his so call 'god' for him. He even killed some of the members of Kira's Kingdom including Demegawa 'finally'! So now the only question remains 'besides Misa losing her memories again and the eyes after giving it up the Death Note' on whom this Mikami character is...

- MIKAMI'S MONOLOGUE -

MIKAMI：Delete. Delete! Delete!

Here, allow me to tell all about on what I know about this mess up person.

Tayla：The average Japanese adult would say that Teru Mikami was a child with a strong sense of justice. He was able to distinguish right from wrong better than any of his peers. And compared to the average Japanese person, Teru had been through and seen far worse miseries and even witnessed deaths.

Even more since he was a child. Growing up being so smart with a mother, to seeing so much bad things in life including bad people as well through his eyes back then. As far as I know, Teru lives a good life as a lawyer with a nice place and such, he loves helping out the others who are innocent to defend against those who are evil, or just those being bullies to others.

MIKAMI: In this world, there is only good and evil. That was one of the first universal truth I grasped from observing the world around me when I was a child. Every human being without exception ends up falling into one category or the other. Even in those innocent years of elementary school, one could not escape that fact. As class president, I strived to achieve great things for my fellow students. But there were always enemies - good against Evil.

From Teru making good speeches for that, he even saves those who were being hurt.

- BOY：No! Let go of me, please!

Wow, Mikami would even take a beaten to save another and didn't care at all. Tough kid back then.

MIKAMI：Evil has to be confronted. There were times when it seemed evil would triumph over good. But no matter what happened to me, I felt happy for one reason.

- BOY：Thank you, Teru.

That was the only thing making Mikami happy, was seeing the good being saved in the end.

MIKAMI：Hearing those words of gratitude from the victims made me wanna save them again and again. For that reason, I never spared any effort. And in the end, I was able to stand up for my sense of justice.

Strong words to someone who's also another Kira and a murderer of psycho path. Just saying...He stands up for another kid being bullied on the bus just by staring at them that was it after that.

MIKAMI：But that was only true in the world of children. Middle school was another matter entirely. The more I confronted evil, the more enemies I had to face. Victims would become participants, and even the people watching would be influenced by evil and become enemies themselves. But for justice to triumph, it requires action. So I realized to serve justice; I had to delete evil. The only person who understood my hopes and remained my ally was the woman who raised me on her own: my mother, no, rather it used to be my mother.

Yeah, he had a harder life in middle school being beaten up more. Though he wanted this life even today as much as he tried to say so to his own mother who he thought that she was wrong, not him. No, Mikami is a nut job.

MOTHER：Teru, not everything in the world is going to work the way you wanted to. You have to stop doing this. There is no reason for you to suffer so much for your beliefs. What do you think you are proving, getting hurt like this? This is plain foolishness. You have to realize that some things will never change ....
