i think that c-kira was an otaku loser (lookit that desk) who thought he could be cool by taking on the role of kira. he never had any real motive other than his narccicism so l/near telling him off was enough to make him stop and kill himself.

I don't understand how Near thought C-Kira and Kira could be different at all before the reveal of who C-Kira was. I feel they were introduced as fundamentally the same character.
@AnimuVsMango Kira was motivated by "divine justice". C-Kira was supposedly motivated by "compassion". Original Kira would not target the people C-Kira targeted and vice-versa, thats why Near knew they were different.

This chapter made me think about how I would act if I had a "Death Note" in my hands.
It's easy to say that one would act the same as Light, but that's a lie.

Like others have said, C-Kira was NOT Kira.
C-Kira was someone who simply obtained the Death Note and decided that it was best to use it on the elderly who begged for death, and as seen later with his escalation, ANYONE who begged for it. Way different MO than Kira, who actively targeted criminals and those he deemed were obstructing his justice.
But that means C-Kira was just a mercy killing serial killer. No grand motive, no grand ideals. And when they were called out, they folded hard.
It could have been their compassion backfiring.
‘I’m doing this for their own good, I’m doing the country a service - OH GOD I KILLED ALL THESE PEOPLE’
It could have been their ego being shattered.
‘L doesn’t see me as a WORTHY opponent?!?’
‘No, I AM Kira! Don’t you see? Is this not what Kira would have done?’
No matter the justifications, the excuses, and what the reasons were, the cold hard truth was that their actions were plain simple murder.
So they offed themselves.
In a meta perspective, their story mirrored Near’s: whereas Near successfully became his own version of L, C-Kira couldn’t become Kira, and couldn’t accept the version of Kira they were becoming.
