When I think about it, it is hard for me to see that "absolute power corrupts" component. Arguably, Light Yagami embarked on the wrong mission, needlessly killing even those who was already in prison. (How is this justice?) What was "corrupted" in him that was originally perfect?
I can see slippery slope of (mis-)using Death Note for self defence to kill even innocents, which might be considered as corruption, but not by "absolute power".

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from! Light's actions were extreme from the start, so rather than power corrupting him, it may have been that he just revealed who he truly was.
