Knowing that people are criminals whilst being a detective and not arresting them asap is morally questionable. End of story. Never mind enlisting them to catch someone else.
Also lmao Death Note at it’s core is meant to probe people and make them reassess their own values. Getting into a serious discussion about Light’s character in particular necessitates controversial viewpoints and anyone who didn’t think that was the case was not paying proper attention whilst watching the show.
Anti-heroes definitely can be selfish, but alongside all the selfishness and malice they would also usually have some moral attributes as well. There is nothing morally upstanding in helping out the protagonists if it's solely for the sake of his/her interests....so Hisoka helping out Kurapika and teaming up with Gon and Killua isn't something which necessarily classifies him as an anti-hero rather than a villain.

----------------------
Here's the first matchup of the first round, from Group A:
Lelouch Vi Britannia (Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion): 0/12
As much as I love Itachi. was it really a good idea to nominate him here since him actually being an anti-hero is a huge spoiler. For those who haven't watched yet. I'm not suggesting you to ask to remove him though because that would be suspicious and just make the spoiler clearer.

Ah so that’s why you didn’t nominate him. Well at the very least they still don’t know how Itachi classifies as an anti-hero and I doubt they’ll be able to guess before the reveal itself, so I don’t think it’ll have too much of an effect on their viewing experience. At most they might surmise that there’s more than meets the eye to his character in part 1 and early part 2.

So overall there are enough nominations now, so from here on closing down the nominations. I'll begin the first round really soon now.
