Death note rules how to#
A Shinigami has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it unless asked.Shinigami, the original owners of the Death Note, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the deaths in the note.If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note.The person in possession of the Death Note is possessed by a Shinigami, its original owner, until they die or the death note is destroyed which ever comes first.The human who touches the Death Note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, a Shinigami, even if the human is not the owner of the note.If the time of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.The human who uses the notebook can neither go to Heaven nor Hell (there are no such realms, though).The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of the original owner, i.e.The notebook shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world.After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person’s name, it will happen.Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person’s face in their mind when writing his/her name.The human whose name is written in this note shall die.Misspelling someone’s name won’t indefinitely protect them.Īnd even if it did, it would be fatal. These rules were probably created to stop people from trying to protect others. If their name is finally correct, they would die as normal. If you deliberately do this, it will cause you to die.Įven if you misspell a name four more times, the victim is not permanently immune to Death Note. You can’t use the Death Note if you misspell a name more than four times accidentally. These are some of the most confusing rules. A Death Note will not allow the person whose name has been misspelt four more times to be exempted from death.A Death Note owner who accidentally misspells four names will not be killed if they do so. The Death Note owner who intentionally misspells the name four times will be killed.
If the victim’s name is mispelled four times, the Death Note will not work.As previously stated in Chapter 13: Countdown and Chapter 49: Potted Plant
