does anyone else think misa kind of got what she deserved in death note? I mean it’s clear she was constantly pestering light, making reckless moves that put both of them at risk. she wasn’t careful with her role as the second kira, and half the time light had to cover for her mistakes just to keep everything from falling apart. even when she wasn’t directly messing with his plans, she was clingy and obsessive in a way that distracted him from his actual goal. it shows over and over that she wasn’t a strategic thinker, more of a liability than an asset, and that’s exactly why she ends up sidelined and discarded. her fate feels less like an unfair tragedy and more like the natural result of how she operated. that’s not to say misa never helped light. she did play a huge role in advancing his plans, like willingly making the shinigami eye deal twice, something light himself was never willing to do. Her devotion gave him access to information he couldn’t have gotten on his own, and she was important  in keeping suspicion off him more than once. without her, a lot of light’s strategies would have been much harder to pull off, maybe even impossible. But the thing is, all of those advantages came at the cost of her impulsiveness and her obsession with Light. every good thing she did was undermined by the fact that she couldn’t think independently or strategically. she wasn’t an equal partner in his “new world,” just a tool he used until she became too much of a risk. so even though she contributed to his success, the flaws in how she operated still made her downfall feel inevitable. I don’t know though.
