a more advanced version of the death note, would be control devil contract from chainsawman, she only needs to hear the name to instantly kill the person, instead of a time delayed time bomb.
Ahhh, but if you attempt to kill someone and the fact that it could be a freebie is part of your decision process then it isn’t a freebie. So having read this you no longer get a freebie.
Ok but that sounds like exactly the kind of shit test God puts people through in religious parables.
Give them an unbelievable and entirely random thing that SAYS it’s supernaturally evil (and it actually is, but it’s also so out of left field–) and if they don’t take the warning at face value and put it back down they will go to hell forever or something.
Death Note should get a new series and it should be entirely about every evil billionaire currently alive in 2025
at the end of the series light becomes one of the god of deaths.
“This is the
LockPickingNotebookWritingLawyer… allow me to desmonstrate one more time to make sure that it is not a fluke”“You shouldn’t be trying to use a potentially supernatural notebook and accidentally cause the death of people. But if you ever find yourself accidentally become the owner of a death note, then you’ll need a good lawyer, but if you need a great lawyer, contact my law firm. You don’t just need a legal team, you need The Eagle Team!”
It starts off innocently but before long, you are eating snacks
One too many potato chips is all it takes.
the first thing I would do is write my name in it so no one steals it
Thank you! The first thing I do with every notebook is write my name on the first page (or inside cover)
If you think about it, ALL of my uses would be freebies
“What a cool notebook! I’m going to make this my new personal phone book and spend all afternoon putting all my contacts in it.”
Well, you can always erase it IIRC
I think you have to scratch a line through the name. Don’t quote me on that I’m far too lazy to look up the rules.
Death note would be impossible in current year. Like, your test use would have to be on a huge name otherwise your phone analytics would super rat you out. I can just imaging light starting to get ads for burner phones and VPNs.
Just subscribe to a major newspaper and write down everyone who sucks.
just don’t Google them.
look
Ronald Reagan
It worked!
I recently saw a sticker recently that said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try a few more times to establish a baseline.”
My death note would be the same as fortune 500
“Surely that was a fluke, it won’t work for a second time!”
“Twice in a row? What are the chances. I wonder if it works with pencil instead of pen.”
…
Apple pen !

Doesn’t a shinigami come and explain how it works? It’s been a bit since I’ve seen death note so I don’t remember if that happens before or after you use it. If it’s before, there’s no reason to assume it wouldn’t work since a supernatural being appears to explain how it works which adds credibility.
In the anime, the shinigami only came after the first kill IIRC. Light only had the tutorial text in the notebook to go off of.
Not sure I really buy this. You have two choices: use it or don’t. If you use it, it will either kill somebody or it won’t; if you don’t use it, it surely won’t kill anybody. The probability of the former case is obviously extraordinarily low, but the probability of the latter causing a death is surely many times lower. The only thing that matters for morality IMO is the ratio of these probabilities, not the absolute difference.
Every time someone steps behind the wheel of the car, the (apparent) chances of them causing a death is so many times higher than writing a name in a Death Note that the latter is completely negligible.
true, but using a car has its own utility.
Would it be immoral to drive a car without utility? Maybe so, but only a little immoral, surely. You don’t deserve to go to jail for taking a joyride around the block.
I can think of reasons to write a name in a Death Note, like trying to prove to someone that it doesn’t work.
A joyride has its own value. If there were literally no utility – you’re driving a car for no reason, not even to have fun – then yeah it’s immoral, as it just puts people in danger and pollutes the planet.
As for uses for an impotent death note, fair enough, you’re right.
It could be 101: the first a surprise, the next 100 to establish a meaningful statistical correlation.
can you be my lawyer please
