Mugen from Samurai Champloo. Love the character, super entertaining, but he's a lowlife piece of shit through and through. Jin, while no saint, at least has some moral compass. Mugen is peak chaotic neutral and will make it everyone's problem at the drop of a hat.

... eh. Dude's a shitty Pokemon trainer, but he's a pretty alright kid. Wants to do the right thing generally, steps in to help whenever it's needed.

There's no version of what Light was doing that's ok, but I will say if he had at least stayed true to his original intent (if it was ever real) you could at least make an argument for him being a necessary evil rather than just a complete dickhead. Unfortunately he went off the rails real fucking fast as soon as the heat came down and started killing innocents and people who'd only committed petty crimes. At that point to me he was just another murderer.
When he unjustly murdered the man claiming to be L, calling him out on the news and saying he was a big meanie, Light's ideals and beliefs were slam-dunked into the trash and he outed himself as a petty narcissist. And, beautifully enough, it was that one act that helped the real L zero in on him and ultimately led to his downfall. If he hadn't done that, he may well never have been captured, or at the very least it would have taken much longer to bring him down.
