For anyone that doesn’t know about Death Note it’s a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone’s name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

        The Death Note doesn’t control the actions of anybody except the people named in the note, and if the condition cannot be fulfilled then they simply die of a heart attack.

        So you’d have to be a truly terrible person to make that one happen.

          You can write yourself into the state of doing it man, you can write that you think of nothing but this goal for months on end before you finally figure out the means.

            I guess you could then infer my comment to mean that they were the type of person who wouldn’t be able to achieve such a goal, even with your conditions.

            Certainly I wouldn’t be the sort to write such a comment!

            BTW IIRC, the Death Note can only control people’s actions for a limited time. Something like 20 or 24 days.

              Idk, some of the planning when light kills the FBI agents seemed to be pretty elaborate, I’m sure there’s a time limit, but I don’t remember how long.
