Those who wish to rid themselves of the presence of the Shinigami will have
to return the notebook to you or to throw it away.

The way to use the notebook is free.


The human whose name is written in this notebook will die.

This notebook will not take effect unless one has in


mind the face of the one whose name is being written.
Therefore, another person with the same name will not be
affected.
If the owner of the Death Note accidentally makes a mistake in the
the name of the victim written four times, this will be
free from being killed by the Death Note.

Meanwhile, if the name is written incorrectly


purposely four times, the one who wrote the
the name in the notebook will die. This, however, does not mean
that the person whose name was written incorrectly is
free from being killed by the Death Note.

If the name of the same person is written in two or


but in Death Notes, priority will be given to the one in which
was written first, regardless of the time
stipulated for your death.
If the name of the same person is written in two or
but Death Notes, with a time difference of up to
0.06 seconds, these descriptions will be considered
simultaneously, invalidating both. Thus, the person who
he whose name is written in the notebook shall not die.

For the Death Note to take effect, the name of a victim must not
it can be written separately on several pages. However, the
the front and the back of a sheet are considered a single one
page. Therefore, it is valid to write, for example, the name
the front and the last name on the back.

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds after the


name of the person, according to the unit of time of
humans, so it will be done.
If the cause of death is not specified, the person
will simply die of a heart attack.
After writing the cause, the details of the death must be
provided in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
In the 40 seconds that follow the writing of the 'stop
"cardiac" as the cause of death, the owner of this
notebook may determine the time of death, being able to
manipulate it freely, even within the 40 seconds
that follow the writing of the name.
The circumstances of the death will not be carried out if the
described in the notebook for physically impossible practice
for that human or if it is outside of what it is
considered a reasonable attitude for humans in
question.
The scope of the circumstances of death is
unknown even to the Shinigami, therefore, the
the user will have to test to find out.
It is allowed to write the cause and circumstances of death
in advance, filling in the name later
of the victim. In this case, the name should be written in front
of the cause of death. The deadline for filling out the

two humans.
Suicide is a valid cause of death. Once there is
the possibility of any and all humans committing
suicide, it does not fit into the category of
inconceivable behaviors.
Regardless of whether it is by suicide or accidental, the
the death of a person cannot be a direct cause of death
of any other individual. When the cause of death
chosen may lead to the death of another person, the person
whose name was written will die of cardiac arrest in
circumstances that prevent the death of third parties.

After writing the name, the time, and the


circumstances of death, within a period of 6 minutes
the 40 seconds, the time and the circumstances of the death
they can be changed as many times as you want. Obviously,
these changes will be valid before the victim's death.
If it is written only "accidental death", without specifying
the circumstances, the victim will die in 6 minutes and 40
seconds after writing the cause of death, due to an accident
that it be as fast and natural as possible.
Even having written a single name in the Death Note to
die in an accident, if the described circumstances
cause a significant impact on the environment of the World of
Humans and the power to dangerously involve people
innocents, it is considered that there is "involvement of
"third parties" and, therefore, the cause of death will be changed to
cardiac arrest. (20) In the case of writing 'death from
disease, determining the name of the disease and the time of
death, there must be enough time for the
development of the chosen disease. If the time
available until death is too short, the victim will end up
dying as a result of a cardiac arrest 6
40 minutes and 40 seconds after being written in the Death Note.

If you write "death by disease" with the desired time of


death, but without specifying the name of the disease, the victim
will die at the appointed time, as a result of a
disease appropriate to the situation. However, the deadline
for the death shall not exceed 23 days from
calendar of humans, counting from the moment of writing
no Death Note. This is called the '23-day rule.'
When writing 'death by illness' followed by the name of

for the amendment of what was written in the notebook continues

Although it is necessary to write the victim's name in
a single page for Death Note to work
duly, the cause and circumstances of death
they can be written on different pages, as long as
who writes them should focus on the victim's name to
that it should be associated with what is being written.

In the case of writing the cause and the


circumstance of death, to later fill in the name of the
victim, one can write several names as long as it is
within a period of 40 seconds. Thus, it will be possible
killing several people for the same cause and circumstance,
as long as there are no factors that prevent the
concretization of them. When there is a cause of death
applicable, but under impossible circumstances
related to the name of a victim, only the cause will be
effective. If both the cause and the circumstances are

transferred to the individual who has it in hand. If the
Death Note is stolen and its owner is murdered.
by the author of the theft the property right of the notebook is
automatically transferred to this individual.

Humans cannot see or hear the Shinigami that is

they have the notebook.
The same Shinigami may deliver Death Notes
for up to three humans at the same time. It is possible
deliver six Death Notes for three humans, giving, by
for example, two notebooks for each of them. Thus,
it is also permitted that a single human be

Such perception does not apply to owners of Death
Notes, including the user with the Shinigami's eyes, or
dead people.
(66) To see the name and the survival of a human using
the eye of the Shinigami, you need to see more than the
right or left side of your face. When looking at the
face, from top to bottom, it is necessary to be able to see from
from the top of the head to the nose. Even if a part of the face
if it is hidden, it will be possible to see the name and the
survival as long as one can see the entire outline of the face.
Given these conditions, the skill will function in

sharpness of them. The same does not apply to any type of
illustration, including the realistic ones.

The presence of the Death Note in the Human World

The Shinigami must not tell a human the name and the
survivor to see in someone's face. This is a
care that must be taken to avoid riots in
World of Humans.
For the Death Note to be used in the World of
Humans, it is essential that a living Shinigami has,
from the beginning, the intention of making a human
use the notebook in the World of Humans. Although it is difficult
to conceive that the Shinigami is with a human
come to die, if that happens, the Death Note brought
for this Shinigami to the World of Humans will not suffer
any change in your power.
The Shinigamis must not remain in the World of
Humans without reason. The conditions for your
permanence in the World of Humans are: when the
Death Note of this Shinigami is in possession of a
human; the God of Death must seek the human to

In the World of Humans, they are part of this world and can
to be used by humans of any age.
The human who possesses the Death Note cannot be
killed by a God of Death who is in the World of
Shinigamis. A God of Death cannot go to the World of
Humans with the sole aim of killing the owner of a
Death Note is only the Shinigami that delivered the Death.
Note that a human can kill another human who possesses

to belong to the World of Humans against your will, is
allowed for him to remain in the World of Humans with
the intention of recovering your notebook. In this case, if
there will be other Death Notes in the Human World, the
Shinigami should not reveal their locations and
owners for humans.
In the case of a Shinigami losing their Death Note,
deceived by another Shinigami, the only way to regain him
it is through the return of the notebook by the Shinigami

Even after a Shinigami brought a Death
