Questions Reguarding the Death Note.

[Shineor]

Considering all the rules of the note, (Which I forgot where to find on the net...someone wiped my favorites folder :E) I have 3 questions.

1:Could The note be used to kill a pregnent woman?

2: Suppose 2 people used 1 note, If User A wrote a name and shortly after User B wrote a cause of death for the name writen by User A. would the victim die via way of User B, or simply die of a heart attack since User A only wrote a name? - In other words for a Victim to die a paticular way, would the Name and cause need to be writen by the same user?

3:Suppose You had a fairly good idea when you might die,(Knowing you can shorten your own life span) could you write down When you would like to die and how and have your Death play out that way?

-Would this also mean that (If Sucessful) you could then live the rest of your days knowing you would not die in anyway other than how you dictated it? (Unless you later afterward traded for the eyes) or would you simply die 40 secounds later as theres too much time to determin if how you would like to die will even be plasuable?

4:Theroeticly if I were to continuely win over the favor of shinigami having them at some point write down names to save my life repeatadly could I by this methoud be semi-immortal and continuely collect Working death notes?

(Semi-immortal being that you will not die naturaly but could still be killed)

5:Suppose I were to write down a cause of death such as Suicide, then say the exact time and date down to the last secound, BUT something comes along to save the victim. WOuld they still die via Heart Attack? or since the Death dident happen via Sucide at percicely the moment as writen would the victim not die?

6:If the only way for a shinigami to save you was to kill you, would the shinigami die for doing so?

1- I don't think so, since the Death Note only kills the person whose name is witten, and if by killing that person another person is affected, then the Death Note won't kill the first person (not 100% sure).

2- I'm not sure about this one, but I think the person would be killed by the User A.

4- Thats impossible, because if a Shinigami extends your life time, he/she would die. So I doubt a Shinigami would do that for someone (unless they had a relantionship similar to Rem and Misa).

6- Since when killing somone is the only way to save him? Anyway, no the Shinigami wouldn't die, since the only way for a Shinigami to die, is to extend your life time (Example: You were about to get murdered, if a Shinigami saves you before that, he dies after saving you).

I don't know the answers to the other questions.

3- Only the shinigami could kill you if you're the owner, ex: in the live action movie L, wrote his own name in the DN so that Light could not kill him, but Light couldn't write his own name and if he did it would have no meaning and wouldn't take any effect
5- If its' written in the DN it will happen that way.

[Shineor]

5- If its' written in the DN it will happen that way.

Right I know if its writen in the DN it would happen that way...but the rules also say that not ALL methouds of death are known to the Shinigami and would require investagation.

So if one were to try sucide by hanging..but the rope broke the secound before you were actually suspota die..thus resulting in not being able at the exact time to die. would you then 40 secounds later die of a heart attack or not die at all?

(intristing so owning a DN means you can't be killed by any other way already, thus theres no need for a Owner to write his/her own name huh?)

[Shineor]

I just thought of another question.......(Sry)......

I know the pages in the DN are suposeadly Unlimited...and that you can write the names in anything as long as its legible...

-But what if I were to write in pencil and at any time erase the names?
-are their any penalties to eraseing names insteasd of crossing them out w/ 2 horizontal lines?

[holy_jumbo]

Thats was never mentioned, maybe only in volume 13 that has interveiws with the authors and such, but I haven't read it so...

[Shineor]

...Well you be sure to let me know

-btw....Could someone be so kind as to tell me all the rules again? as I said before I had a link to the rules for only a coupple days before someone erased my internet favorites folder.

[holy_jumbo]

Wiki probably has it.

Another Question(s)!

-If in the event a victims name were misspelled 4 times, Would the note be rendered useless against ONLY to the person that the note failed to kill, or is the book totally divoided of all its power?

-Dose writing the wrong name for a person also count as misspelling it?

-Suppose a name of a person were to be mispelled 4 times by 1 Owner/User of a DN. Could another DN Owner/User still be able to use his/her DN to kill the person the other note failed to kill?

-Burning a Page or Fragment of a DN...is that the Same as the DN being destroyed? or will nothing of consequence become of it?

-Could the reason that the DN can't kill people of under 780 Days old be that they are thought to not have any physical traits that would tell them apart from people their own age?

-If a child (under 780 days old) can't be killed by a DN. Could you write someone else's name and at least use a child as part of an event that would lead up to the death of the older person?, Assumeing of course its not an event that would without a doubt also kill the child. (as the note cannot be used to cause multiple deaths at a time)

-Since the DN can't be used to kill multiple people at a time, could I instead write down each persons name to all be killed the same way?

-Example Like the people you car pool with. could you write down each of their names and say they were to die in a car related accident? (Obviously you would arrange to not be with them the day they die, otherwise it wouldent take effect)

-For it to work, would you need to write it down like this?

John Smith, Jane Doe, Pete Sample, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.

or like this?

John Smith, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.
Jane Doe, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.
Pete Sample, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.

-Could you write a secernio where 2 people kill each other? (Ex. Both being shot in a shooting duel resulting in death)

-Suppose you were to write that someone dies at a paticular event. BUT unknown to you the Event is cancled due to Weather or other Event. Would the person simply die of a Heart attack?
-Now suppose they were suspose to die EXACTLY 28 Days later at a Paticular event which was cancled at the last possible moment. Since no Event took place would the person be safe or die of a heartattack anyway.?

-If I were to write down somebody to die of a Disease which was treatable. and doctors cure the person just before they were susposta die. will they just then die of a heart attack?

Another Question(s)!

-If in the event a victims name were misspelled 4 times, Would the note be rendered useless against ONLY to the person that the note failed to kill, or is the book totally divoided of all its power?
The Death Note will not work on that person any longer. This can only happen to humans.

-Dose writing the wrong name for a person also count as misspelling it?
If the person whose face comes to mind is not the name you write down, it is a misspelling.

-Suppose a name of a person were to be mispelled 4 times by 1 Owner/User of a DN. Could another DN Owner/User still be able to use his/her DN to kill the person the other note failed to kill?
No.

-Burning a Page or Fragment of a DN...is that the Same as the DN being destroyed? or will nothing of consequence become of it?
A page that is not the Death Note itself holds the power of the Death Note, but is not the Death Note.

-Could the reason that the DN can't kill people of under 780 Days old be that they are thought to not have any physical traits that would tell them apart from people their own age?
There is a reason, but it's not related to the world of the Manga. It's related to our world.

-If a child (under 780 days old) can't be killed by a DN. Could you write someone else's name and at least use a child as part of an event that would lead up to the death of the older person?, Assumeing of course its not an event that would without a doubt also kill the child. (as the note cannot be used to cause multiple deaths at a time).
If a case of death written in the Death Note is impossible due to physical condition, or the fact that it is out of the scope of the persons capabilities, the victim will die of a heart attack.

-Since the DN can't be used to kill multiple people at a time, could I instead write down each persons name to all be killed the same way?
You could write all of their names down, and they would all die of a heart attack. But for specific clauses of death, you would have to write each one after their names.

-Example Like the people you car pool with. could you write down each of their names and say they were to die in a car related accident? (Obviously you would arrange to not be with them the day they die, otherwise it wouldent take effect)
Yes. But you would have to write down each name, and write the cause of death for each person.

-For it to work, would you need to write it down like this?

John Smith, Jane Doe, Pete Sample, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.

or like this?

John Smith, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.
Jane Doe, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.
Pete Sample, Shall Die of a car accident after being driven off the road.


-Could you write a secernio where 2 people kill each other? (Ex. Both being shot in a shooting duel resulting in death)
No, depending on how you write it. But most people wouldn't fine the right words to write it.

-Suppose you were to write that someone dies at a paticular event. BUT unknown to you the Event is cancled due to Weather or other Event. Would the person simply die of a Heart attack?
You cannot write "Dies at [event]" or what have you, you must write "Dies at [place of event]" In that case, the person, whether the event occurs or not, will go to the place and die.

-Now suppose they were suspose to die EXACTLY 28 Days later at a Paticular event which was cancled at the last possible moment. Since no Event took place would the person be safe or die of a heartattack anyway.?
If the conditions cannot be met as written, the person will die of a heart attack

-If I were to write down somebody to die of a Disease which was treatable. and doctors cure the person just before they were susposta die. will they just then die of a heart attack?
You can't simply "cure" a disease. After the X amount of days if the disease will not kill the person, a reasonable amount of extra time is given. But if it takes years to kill the person, the person will die of a heart attack.


You ask too many questions, Shin.

[Shineor]

Sorry....Just so we are clear I'm fully aware this is all Fiction. I just thought there might be those who know more about it. I haven't even herd of DN until I saw it on Adult Swim.

[Shineor]

Sorry to bring this back but I got another question.

-Suspose someone were to steal or find a DN still in ownership of another person , could he/she write their own name incorrectly 4 times resulting in that DN being unable to kill them?

If this were the case, perhaps L in the live action shoulda done that instead huh?
