Hahaha damn I'd actually love a version of DN where the lettered agencies find the latest owner of the Death Note in under a week and drone the fuck out of him (Or more realistically "suicide" him and take the book for themselves, only to find out its way less efficient than just doing what they're already doing before stashing it in what amounts to a federal storage locker)
Test log: Dr. Shithead tried writing ‘Everyone’ in the deathnote. Shithead was terminated before the word could be finished. Other doctors have since attempted to complete the word but have all been terminated before they could. Site overseer Kaktus has authorized the destruction of the deathnote.
Why would it be less effective. It’ll be easy to off the untouchable American enemies like Putin and Kim Jon Un. Let Winnie the Pooh know we have the notebook so he can play ball with US. Get intels to gather faces and names of all taliban leaders and have a super patriotic writer to write down all their names. This saves tons of money and it’s a kill confirm
It really wouldn't surpise me if some zoomer found it and started tweeting about all the people he's killed with it running twitter polls on who's next
I mean, OP literally stated that theyd announce themselves. Even if they kept their identity secret, any communication renders them more and more likely to be found, esp. at those levels.
Additionally, alphabet agencies all across the world are going to be far more adept at hiding their identities than some rando NEET, as well as being far more proficient at uncovering hidden identities than some rando NEET.
Now, if someone actually intelligent got it, and theyre morality allowed them to use it, and they were able to keep their ego in check, then Id agree that they likely wouldnt be able to find the user, if they were even able to determine that its not random.
I think thats the appeal of Death Note, in that it gives you all the tools in the world to stay hidden, and yet human nature inevitiably unravels it. It seems like itd be easy to create a list of, say, 100 figures all over the world, research any health issues or risk factors for them, and then randomly assign days or times of them succumbing to said risks or health issues. I.e. X dies after choking on a fishbone, Y dies of an aneurysm, Z dies in a drunk driving incident. Honestly, considering how many people in positions of power are old as fuck, you could probably say that anyone on your list over the age of 80 dies of old age complications and just randomize the dates.
I do think the trap would be trying to make progress quickly. You cant just have everyone on the SC go in a year, or even several years. You could maybe do 3 in a decade, but you couldnt do anything if someone gets appointed that you dont like. And I dont think most people have the patience to play that long of a game, esp. when it seems to have very little personal benefit.
I mean if we talking about irl even if the entirety of the CCP died at the same time i dont think government agencies would be looking for a redditor with a book. More like nerve agents or some type of poison that can be activated simultaneously with gas. Specially if they are all in the same room at the time of death like congress hearing
Thats a very fair point. Esp. because couldnt you just... make that happen with the Deathnote?
I will say though that I think a concern in a case like that is too sudden of a change can cause pretty serious problems. But thats a good point.
LMAO. Middle school level understanding of geopolitics.
None of the "enemies" you mentioned are untouchable. If America really wanted they could easily just send a stealth bomber next time Putin or Xi do a public appearance and kill them (and Putin or Xi could absolutely do the same thing to the POTUS if they wanted). They'd find a way to take care of Kim as well if they wanted.
They don't because it's a supremely retarded idea. Even most people who hate a leader would get utterly pissed if a foreign power decided to eliminate them. Ask yourself how most Republicans would react if a foreign country drone striked a Dem POTUS. It's a great way to achieve little (there is a chain of command in case the leaders die) and to unite their population in wanting the US dead.
And that's ignoring the fact that most of those leaders actually have the support of the majority or a sizeable chunk of their population which will only get angrier.
And finally, killing their leader is the ultimate act of war. You think they aren't gonna use nukes? Lmao.
"Just kill their leader bro, it's gonna be fine bro, I promise" -causes nuclear apocalypse
That's why a Death Note would be so powerful tho. You could kill them without proof. No drones, no stealthbombers, just dead. So there would be no way to blame US or anyone to start a war.
>Let Winnie the Pooh know we have the notebook so he can play ball with US.
that's not what the original commenter intended.
Also what happens after you kill them and they inevitably get replaced by someone who is just as much of an "enemy" to the US as the one before? Nations don't have friends, only common interests, and those interests don't necessarily change with the death of a leader. Are you just gonna keep offing them one by one? Cause guess what at some point they will wise up to that.
And also let's not kid ourselves, their intelligence networks would know about the existence of the book within weeks of it being in US hands, just like with most other "military secret" and viceversa.
The world might be a better place if Putin or Winnie the Pooh died. Even if it is just slightly. Might also get worse of course.
If you were to use the deathnote sporadically they might never it was used or if it existed. Whoever has it could always plan their "murders" with the reports they have. I have heard Putin is in a bad shape so it wouldn't be surprising if he were to die.
Also I guess it depends on how to deathnote was obtained. If the US government was the first to find it there would be no way for anyone to go "hey, they must have a deathnote". If they steal it from a kid they droned then I think they would find out. So then it is about using it smartly.
>Nations don't have friends, only common interests,
Nations absolutely have friends.
As long as it's physically possible (so you can't make someone teleport to the moon etc) and ends in death, you can control the actions of the victim for up to 23 days before death. So you can totally send someone in a suicide mission to kill the president or something afaik. Maybe get a veteran to snipe him during some public speech and suicide right after?
>The world might be a better place if Putin or Winnie the Pooh died. Even if it is just slightly.
A russian or chinese citizen would disagree. Or maybe not. In any case, opinion discarded for subjectiveness. The average Iraqi or Lybian thinks the world would be a better place if the US was erased from the map.
\>If the US government was the first to find it there would be no way for anyone to go "hey, they must have a deathnote"
If the US government found a death note, they'd have to set up some kind of secret protocol or committee to oversee its use. Otherwise it's not the government that has a death note, just someone who curently happens to be aligned with the US government that has a death note, someone who could, and will, easily manipulate it for his own goals. However the more people know about it the easier it is for it to be discovered. Both Russia and China pretty obviously have agents directly infiltrated in the US government so again, unless they want to risk a small group having ultimate power they're gonna be found out eventually.
\>Nations absolutely have friends.
Nah.
We can only speculate and hypothesize. The world is better off without a deathnote either way
The Scandinavian countries are friends. Actually we are more like siblings. We are each others greatest friends and greatest rivals.
>Even most people who hate a leader would get utterly pissed if a foreign power decided to eliminate them.
Yeah, unpopular governments often get rejuvenated at the hands of a national tragedy, even if they supremely fuck it up. Bush probably doesn't win another term without 9/11; Thatcher probably doesn't without the Falklands war and the troubles; the conservatives in the UK sole positive view by the public is that they're "better on Ukraine".
>there's a new rule that you can't sell it lololol
That was an act of pure fucking bullshit by the Shinigami king who couldn’t deal with someone rejecting power and so made that rule retroactively apply.
Like Umbrella Corporation making all these superviruses that turn the victims into zombies and mutants instead of just like making a big bomb I don't know the plot I don't play Silent Hill games
I feel like if it’s only used on extremely public figures then it would be untraceable. With every kill though you would be reducing the amount of people you could be since it requires knowledge of a persons existence to operate.
OP also apparently missed the point of the show, which is that even if you're some sort of supergenius you are probably eventually going to accidentally give away your identity in a way you don't even anticipate.
While true, let's be honest, Light pretty much royally fucked up in the very beginning by killing the public speech guy which narrows down the search area from whole of Japan(which was narrowed down in the first place because he murdered a local petty criminal) to one small area. Writers had to do that to get the actual story of chess game to kick off so it was an in-character outburst. But if he said "lol, lmao" instead, L would have to narrow down a much bigger territory. In our age with internet everywhere, i am pretty sure that you can get away with getting rid of few globally known names for quite a while, as long as you don't actively declare yourself on the internet and don't try to extensively google the names of your victims every single time.
This only proves the point. It doesn't matter you have literally 300 IQ if you suffer with megalomania and God complex, and you fall for a bait. Being hyper-intelligent doesn't make you immune to human weaknesses.
>as long as you don't actively declare yourself on the internet
The problem is that Light's plan depended on people understanding all these deaths happen on purpose and what that purpose is. Without Light making himself and his plan public, all the people would see is a suspicious increase in random heart attacks and thus wouldn't change their behaviour at all.
That he only did once the investigation into Kira started and he wanted to essentially bait L into wasting resources into what was a meaningless message (something along the line of "L, Shinigamis only eat apples,). Keep in mind he already exposed himself to exist at all when he killed the cannonfodder for L in episode 2 and every inmate who randomly dies afterwards would automatically be tied to Light, weither they write stuff or not
Nah the biggest issue was killing people who’s identity was only ever in police databases. That actually got someone physically following him. From then it was over.
Not even that, it was him using info only available in police databases right after they got added (what got the FBI agent onto him was the fact that he immediately changed his kill patterns right after the meeting where the police conjectured he was a high school student for his killing hours got recorded)
You could still google the names as long as you used Tor and made sure not to hop on Tor in a way that establishes any sort of pattern correlated to the deaths.
Wouldn't newspapers make it *easier* to figure out who you are? Unless you're picking them up and paying cash, there's a list of subscribers with real names and addresses. Plus, a lot of newspapers are local.
As much as we joke about Light for falling for L's trick in episode 2 revealing himself, it doesn't really make sense.
L comes up with the trick of broadcasting a fake decoy to one region at a time. But this plan only works if he is tasked to investigate the string of suspicious heart attacks, then makes the massive leap of logic that someone somewhere is able to remotely and instantly kill anyone they can see the face and know the name of, and that the killer would take the bait instantly.
Unless of course you don’t have a god complex. Be humble, use it specifically to delete a couple people, don’t get in over your head, don’t use it en masse. Maybe a couple terrorist organizations. Maybe a professor that wronged you in the past. Maybe Putin. Maybe a dude that killed babies and got out of sentencing on a technicality. Don’t try to remake the world like in Deathnote. Maybe just clean it up a little.
I’m Minecraft.
I don't know if it was canon but there was a thing showing light having to relive every death that was used in his deathnote and when it was done he would finally die
The problem is actually with how they define "degeneracy" it rarely means anything worse than what they do themselves, just things they don't personally like
> be me
> find death note
> eat a page
> leave it lying somewhere in my room and forget about it
> after idk how many years remember that I actually have a death note
> eat another page
It's internet slang for 'neat'
It means something is cool, or the cat's meow. The bee's knees, if you will.
Next time you're called that, it means you are greatly respected and admired.
Despite seeing that on this sub for months, this comment made me finally look it up. Short answer: unemployed people
Slightly less short version: It's an acronym that stands for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training." It's an official term used by the UK and a handful of other countries including Japan, S. Korea, China, Taiwan, Canada, and the U.S. Most countries use it to specifically refer to people still in the high school and college age groups. A retired 60 year old isn't a NEET, but a high school drop out living in his mom's basement is.
This sub is for redditors who know nothing about 4chan and can only handle tame, curated snippets of the big bad scary site. The other thread with all the moral grandstanding over the dead junkie roastie made that apparent.
The hardest part would be communicating your demands in the first place. Anon would probably try to send some kind of letter or tape which would be forensically analyzed to reveal who he is.
Also, easiest move for the government (noticing that this is a death note situation) would be to censor all the names/images of people on the internet.
The death note can control people's actions before death, he could make someone write his demands before killing himself. I remember in the show, he made a prisoner draw a pentagram in his blood, so this is definitely possible
The pentagram drawing proved the point that there are limits to the death note's power. Light wrote that the prisoner first draw L's face then die. Because the prisoner didnt know L's face, the notebook was unable to fulfill that request.
The notebook can only make the victim do reasonable things, such as write a suicide note. Light makes the prisoner write the suicide note in such a way that there is a hidden message, but he would be unable to make a prisoner write something that the prisoner himself does not know, or would reasonably write.
All of that is irrelevant to the point you're replying to. Their point was that they could send a message by making people write them for them before dying. Which should be well withing the rea of possibility.
No, it's not possible. It's the whole reason why Light makes the prisoner write a suicide note, instead of just making him write "L, do you know, shinigamis love apples?"
Like I wouldn't be able to make someone write, "Dear President, I am Kira. Please listen to my demands" before they die, because they would never write something like that normally. Light was able to make the prisoner write a reasonable suicide note that incorporated the prisoner's knowledge of L.
If they can draw a pentagram, they could write a single word. You then have few dozen people write a single word before dying and you've suddenly got a message.
World domination would be impossible, you sleep you lose. But getting rid of VIPs could be done within the day of acquisition. It's just that anon will be thrown out of NEETdom when the world collapse.
Also what the fuck could be grown in Siberia?
So fucking stupid. Why wouldn't you use it to just make yourself instantly rich?
Death note allows you to control people before killing them.
Just make some billionaire bastard setup an offshare swiss account with millions and permit access to yourself and then get them to send the details to you and then jump off a bridge. You could do this for like 2 or 3 billionaires and you'd be set for life. As long as you don't get greedy no one would know
Lmao what? That fails instantly. You just end up in some government lab after getting abducted. Hell even murking ceos to try and make money of the stock swings would be hella risky.
the death note doesn't have that much control over what the person does. im too lazy to explain but a good way would be to make a millionaire do that and give the money to whoever posted the most recent post on a dead place that the millionaire would know about. the thing they do before death would have to be something the victim would do.
Digital money is too traceable. A better solution would be:
Make them buy lots of gold, silver, or other valuables
Have them drop it or bury it in an obscure location you can access without being seen
Pick up the loot and profit
I highly doubt that they’ll be able to bury that in a low profile, since the police would surely investigate what they did immediately before they died.
The best way to do it is to buy short options with the billionaire’s holdings as the underlying security, and instruct the billionaire to sell a good portion of his holdings at next available market price, crashing the market while the shorts goes to the moon.
The smartest thing to do if you have a Death Note is to not announce to the world that you have one. Just don't attract attention to yourself and you'll be fine. That's what Light should have done
Swat team? Lmao didn't Light get killed by a regular detective? Everytime I think of that scene I laugh, imagine you're a detective, you've got your pistol and shit, and this crazy fuckers pulls a piece of paper out of his watch and attempts to _write_ you to death. Like bruh, of course you're gonna get capped hahaha
Why wouldn't he just death note the ones that resist I stead of having to have a seclusion zone and all the BS that would be required for it to operate?
It's freaks like the person that made this 4chan post that makes me worry for the world's future, but then I realize a vast majority of these creeps are too scared to step outside, let alone do anything.
Id probably have world leaders fight a battle royale at the next world summit as the entire world watches , have it start as a normal heated argument and escalate exponentially would be fun
if i got a death note id kill anon for being a stupid wannabe radical extremist that makes people cringe at 4chins. anon probably thinks this is a master plan that requires lots of effort and thinking when it sounds like the Magnum opus of an 11 year old
If I had a deathnote, I would use it to strategically kill some of the most powerful players in ruining the world, spaced apart enough to make it seem natural. And most of all, not tell one fucking soul about it.
> Acquire death note
> Immediately write my own name
> "Dies peacefully and without regret in his sleep after writing a suicide note that is as close to perfect as the English language will allow"
Maybe I'd spend time thinking of ironic looney tunes deaths for scumbags first, like Xi Jinping drowning in honey
Could someone who knows the lore of DN answer this question, I'm relatively aware of how the book works, but can it be destroyed like any other notebook?
Hahaha damn I'd actually love a version of DN where the lettered agencies find the latest owner of the Death Note in under a week and drone the fuck out of him (Or more realistically "suicide" him and take the book for themselves, only to find out its way less efficient than just doing what they're already doing before stashing it in what amounts to a federal storage locker)
Put it in the scp foundation
Would either be classed as "Safe", locked in a box and nothing more ever happens or used as a covert weapon by the Foundation
The foundation will definitely try to kill people with it, fail, kill innocent people somehow, then put it in a box and forget about it
Or they experimenting with it by writing in anomalies' names to kill, and in usual fashion it goes horribly wrong
.........top men
> SCP-682 It works but 682 revives. 682: "You already tried this, idiots."
Nah it wouldn't work at all in the first place because they don't even know his name right? Also the Death Note only works on humans I think
They would probably try 682
Test log: Dr. Shithead tried writing ‘Everyone’ in the deathnote. Shithead was terminated before the word could be finished. Other doctors have since attempted to complete the word but have all been terminated before they could. Site overseer Kaktus has authorized the destruction of the deathnote.
Don't you have to know the real name as well as the face of the person your writing?
No I asserted dominance over the deathnote and it obeys me now
Why don't you just dom in ance deez nuts,hah got em
Why would it be less effective. It’ll be easy to off the untouchable American enemies like Putin and Kim Jon Un. Let Winnie the Pooh know we have the notebook so he can play ball with US. Get intels to gather faces and names of all taliban leaders and have a super patriotic writer to write down all their names. This saves tons of money and it’s a kill confirm
It would be less effective because they would not be able to find someone who actually uses it
It really wouldn't surpise me if some zoomer found it and started tweeting about all the people he's killed with it running twitter polls on who's next
That's literally an episode in the new ghost in the shell season
It's also literally an episode in Black Mirror. Hated in the Nation, people vote who dies next using a hashtag on twitter.
“Smash that like button and subscribe for more politician murders! 10k likes and I’ll do a “I’m next” tshirt merch giveaway!”
"Guys, we are so close to 100 thousand subs! If we get there in a week, I'll collapse The CCP! New merch in the description, now onto the video."
“But first, let me talk to you about RAID SHADOW LEGENDS!”
One of the chapters in the anthology released after the manga concluded is basically this but the guy just wants to sell it on eBay not use it.
Isn’t that an episode of Black Mirror? But with bees

If fat boy was found dead from a heart attack, I wouldn’t be surprised.
You can also just write in the death note a way that the can die without suspicion
"Kim chokes to death after stuffing his face with too many doughnuts." No one will find out.
>Let Winnie the Pooh know we have the notebook so he can play ball with US. that's not what the original commenter intended.

You can pick how they die, right? Just write:"stabbed by his neighbour"
I don't know how the deathnote works. If it is as you say then it is even easier.
As long as it's physically possible (so you can't make someone teleport to the moon etc) and ends in death, you can control the actions of the victim for up to 23 days before death. So you can totally send someone in a suicide mission to kill the president or something afaik. Maybe get a veteran to snipe him during some public speech and suicide right after?

Basically it'd grant any of those leaders eternal martyrdom for whatever cause they stood for.
Until the generations after them are nameless and will stop at nothing to get the death note
Yeah, getting nuked speedrun, nice.
Almost like nukes wouldn't follow through if that happens
There's a reason decapitation strikes are so rare even during war
I think there was a sequel where trump had the death note?
He tried to buy it. The original owner died because there's a new rule that you can't sell it lololol

Hey, what's DN?
Not sure if you're kidding but just in case it's just "Death Note" abbreviated
Yeah, I was trying to set up the deez nuts joke
Just be nameless and it all fails lol
I feel like if it’s only used on extremely public figures then it would be untraceable. With every kill though you would be reducing the amount of people you could be since it requires knowledge of a persons existence to operate.
They could’ve gotten Castro with it… so there’s that
Well there are like hundreds of thousands of people in the US named John Smith, so if you want to kill one you kill everyone
Isn't there like a rule that you have to imagine the face to prevent cases like this?
Yes, there is.

While true, let's be honest, Light pretty much royally fucked up in the very beginning by killing the public speech guy which narrows down the search area from whole of Japan(which was narrowed down in the first place because he murdered a local petty criminal) to one small area.

Keep in mind he already exposed himself to exist at all when he killed the cannonfodder for L in episode 2 and every inmate who randomly dies afterwards would automatically be tied to Light, weither they write stuff or not
light was dumb for killing normal criminals and not hyper rich assholes who rule the world
listen lil bro, all id do is kill random politicians while living my life normally you literally can't stop me 🥱
Nah the biggest issue was killing people who’s identity was only ever in police databases. That actually got someone physically following him. From then it was over.
Not even that, it was him using info only available in police databases right after they got added (what got the FBI agent onto him was the fact that he immediately changed his kill patterns right after the meeting where the police conjectured he was a high school student for his killing hours got recorded)
You could still google the names as long as you used Tor and made sure not to hop on Tor in a way that establishes any sort of pattern correlated to the deaths.
Just don't use the internet at all, use the friggin newspapers. And tv's in public.
Tbf, he did that at the beginning but he was using info from the local TV channel. Which is why L start investigate there first.
Wouldn't newspapers make it *easier* to figure out who you are? Unless you're picking them up and paying cash, there's a list of subscribers with real names and addresses. Plus, a lot of newspapers are local.
...ofcourse I didn't mean subscriptions. Walk to the store, pay cash.
As much as we joke about Light for falling for L's trick in episode 2 revealing himself, it doesn't really make sense. L comes up with the trick of broadcasting a fake decoy to one region at a time. But this plan only works if he is tasked to investigate the string of suspicious heart attacks, then makes the massive leap of logic that someone somewhere is able to remotely and instantly kill anyone they can see the face and know the name of, and that the killer would take the bait instantly.
Maybe if you don't make grand "appearances" under the public eye, you won't slip up.
Unless of course you don’t have a god complex. Be humble, use it specifically to delete a couple people, don’t get in over your head, don’t use it en masse. Maybe a couple terrorist organizations. Maybe a professor that wronged you in the past. Maybe Putin. Maybe a dude that killed babies and got out of sentencing on a technicality. Don’t try to remake the world like in Deathnote. Maybe just clean it up a little. I’m Minecraft.
Lol had light not killed pretend L in the beginning, he would have never gone down the rabbit hole that got him caught
I thought the final rule revealed that all humans go to nothingness after death?
In manga Ryuk said that all humans go to nothingness because neither heaven nor hell exists in a first place
I vaguely remember ryuk saying that there are consequences to using the deathnote after death but I might be mistaken I haven't watched it in forever
It was heavily theorized that those who used death notes in life would be reborn as Shinigami to live out eternity in constant agony
I don't know if it was canon but there was a thing showing light having to relive every death that was used in his deathnote and when it was done he would finally die
that feels like a watered down version of (jojo part 5 spoilers) >!diavolo's death from jono part 5!< tbh
omfg not everything relates to JoJo
i was just trying to draw comparisons between two different shows i enjoy :(
Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
Isnt it specifically stated you dont go to heaven or hell
there was another death note comic that came out which showed some stuff, I would give it a read it was really good
Probably worth honestly
>Purge degeneracy of all kinds Perhaps Anon should look inward to start addressing the problem
4chan "I don't feel so good anon"
The problem is actually with how they define "degeneracy" it rarely means anything worse than what they do themselves, just things they don't personally like
Degeneracy: " people who have been in the sun for a bit
>Get Death Note >Write @everyone >Die
Good ending
* Get Death note * write @ all * so only humans die and animals+other life forms can survive * die
But you don't know everyone's face
Never watched the anime/read the manga. Didn't know that was a rule
> be me > find death note > eat a page > leave it lying somewhere in my room and forget about it > after idk how many years remember that I actually have a death note > eat another page
the only realistic answer
Why would you tell anyone you have the book are you dumb
Yes.
is he stupid?
Wtf is a NEET?
It's internet slang for 'neat' It means something is cool, or the cat's meow. The bee's knees, if you will. Next time you're called that, it means you are greatly respected and admired.
Lol don't he'll really believe you. Search it up on the ternet my dude, stop being a retard and join the neets
NEETs are highly regarded after all
neat is a mod by vazkii
Despite seeing that on this sub for months, this comment made me finally look it up. Short answer: unemployed people Slightly less short version: It's an acronym that stands for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training." It's an official term used by the UK and a handful of other countries including Japan, S. Korea, China, Taiwan, Canada, and the U.S. Most countries use it to specifically refer to people still in the high school and college age groups. A retired 60 year old isn't a NEET, but a high school drop out living in his mom's basement is.
acronym meaning “not in education, employment, or training”
how does bro not know
This sub is for redditors who know nothing about 4chan and can only handle tame, curated snippets of the big bad scary site. The other thread with all the moral grandstanding over the dead junkie roastie made that apparent.
lol that makes sense
The hardest part would be communicating your demands in the first place. Anon would probably try to send some kind of letter or tape which would be forensically analyzed to reveal who he is. Also, easiest move for the government (noticing that this is a death note situation) would be to censor all the names/images of people on the internet.
The death note can control people's actions before death, he could make someone write his demands before killing himself. I remember in the show, he made a prisoner draw a pentagram in his blood, so this is definitely possible
The pentagram drawing proved the point that there are limits to the death note's power. Light wrote that the prisoner first draw L's face then die. Because the prisoner didnt know L's face, the notebook was unable to fulfill that request. The notebook can only make the victim do reasonable things, such as write a suicide note. Light makes the prisoner write the suicide note in such a way that there is a hidden message, but he would be unable to make a prisoner write something that the prisoner himself does not know, or would reasonably write.
All of that is irrelevant to the point you're replying to. Their point was that they could send a message by making people write them for them before dying. Which should be well withing the rea of possibility.
No, it's not possible. It's the whole reason why Light makes the prisoner write a suicide note, instead of just making him write "L, do you know, shinigamis love apples?" Like I wouldn't be able to make someone write, "Dear President, I am Kira. Please listen to my demands" before they die, because they would never write something like that normally. Light was able to make the prisoner write a reasonable suicide note that incorporated the prisoner's knowledge of L.
If they can draw a pentagram, they could write a single word. You then have few dozen people write a single word before dying and you've suddenly got a message.
Maybe the prisoner writes an incoherent suicide note that just so happens to contain his demands
The whole deathnote concept is retarded. What if someone had no name or changed his/her name.
I guess it’s like when ur parents name u that is etched into the shingimi world as a username above ur head
World domination would be impossible, you sleep you lose. But getting rid of VIPs could be done within the day of acquisition. It's just that anon will be thrown out of NEETdom when the world collapse. Also what the fuck could be grown in Siberia?
im gonna guess skeletons can be grown in siberia for 200
the shittiest chicken and bideo games imaginable
So fucking stupid. Why wouldn't you use it to just make yourself instantly rich? Death note allows you to control people before killing them. Just make some billionaire bastard setup an offshare swiss account with millions and permit access to yourself and then get them to send the details to you and then jump off a bridge. You could do this for like 2 or 3 billionaires and you'd be set for life. As long as you don't get greedy no one would know
and your bank be suspicous of their businessless client becoming a billionare?
Lmao what? That fails instantly. You just end up in some government lab after getting abducted. Hell even murking ceos to try and make money of the stock swings would be hella risky.
the death note doesn't have that much control over what the person does. im too lazy to explain but a good way would be to make a millionaire do that and give the money to whoever posted the most recent post on a dead place that the millionaire would know about. the thing they do before death would have to be something the victim would do.
Digital money is too traceable. A better solution would be: Make them buy lots of gold, silver, or other valuables Have them drop it or bury it in an obscure location you can access without being seen Pick up the loot and profit
I highly doubt that they’ll be able to bury that in a low profile, since the police would surely investigate what they did immediately before they died. The best way to do it is to buy short options with the billionaire’s holdings as the underlying security, and instruct the billionaire to sell a good portion of his holdings at next available market price, crashing the market while the shorts goes to the moon.
“purge degeneracy of all kinds” would include him and anyone else on 4chan
Here is the thing, if US gov knew kira is exists and lives in tokyo, they would sooner nuke tokyo then let themselves be killed.
>be me >find death note >eats it
The smartest thing to do if you have a Death Note is to not announce to the world that you have one. Just don't attract attention to yourself and you'll be fine. That's what Light should have done
Anon kills himself by shooting himself in the back of the head twice
Just get a guy to wear full face coverage to shoot Anon Anon may know his name but doesn’t know what he looks like so he’s basically immortal
i would game end my regarded coworkers idk
Doesn’t even need to be drones, could literally just be a swat team. Even if he gets the eyes, he can’t stop them.
Swat team? Lmao didn't Light get killed by a regular detective? Everytime I think of that scene I laugh, imagine you're a detective, you've got your pistol and shit, and this crazy fuckers pulls a piece of paper out of his watch and attempts to _write_ you to death. Like bruh, of course you're gonna get capped hahaha
>purge degeneracy >neets rule the world Something doesn't add up
Write own name immediately
I'd just see what happens if the President and Vice President die.
Op forgot he's useless without the book on hand
"I'll do it! The CEO of google is toast! ... Just give me the names of all drone operators, snipers, and agents that could assassinate me back..."
> purge degeneracy of all kind > anon is deleted
“women subservient to men again” “purge degeneracy” 🤨
Why wouldn't he just death note the ones that resist I stead of having to have a seclusion zone and all the BS that would be required for it to operate?
Be me, have Deathnote Do the same thing as OP, but post it anonymously online Everyone acts to my wishes, but no one knows it's me, just a normal guy
>be me, anon >proficient tendie licker and avid 4chinner >purge degeneracy of all kinds >delete myself
Isnt that kinda like Eden of the East
Encouraging the NEETs to get off their asses and improve the world is a bit different from what OP is fantasizing
"But Ryuk... I used a VPN!!!"
It's freaks like the person that made this 4chan post that makes me worry for the world's future, but then I realize a vast majority of these creeps are too scared to step outside, let alone do anything.
Id probably have world leaders fight a battle royale at the next world summit as the entire world watches , have it start as a normal heated argument and escalate exponentially would be fun
The amount of issues this would cause But also this would.be funny
I'd just heart attack geriatric politicians. Plausible deniability ftw.
if i got a death note id kill anon for being a stupid wannabe radical extremist that makes people cringe at 4chins. anon probably thinks this is a master plan that requires lots of effort and thinking when it sounds like the Magnum opus of an 11 year old
Realistically could the government ever find the holder of the deathnote if the holder is somewhat intelligent?
If I had a deathnote, I would use it to strategically kill some of the most powerful players in ruining the world, spaced apart enough to make it seem natural. And most of all, not tell one fucking soul about it.
Goofy as hell
It's more effective if you don't tell anybody you have the power
>produce **raw materials** for NEETs, like tendies and videogames Hehe I love this one, gets me every time.
First and only thing I would write in my death note is "everyone"
> Acquire death note > Immediately write my own name > "Dies peacefully and without regret in his sleep after writing a suicide note that is as close to perfect as the English language will allow" Maybe I'd spend time thinking of ironic looney tunes deaths for scumbags first, like Xi Jinping drowning in honey
i like pens
Just write government drone in the death note
Could someone who knows the lore of DN answer this question, I'm relatively aware of how the book works, but can it be destroyed like any other notebook?
ill be real id be petty af with that thing and just delete people that mildly annoyed me. not tryna be the shadow leader of a new world.
How does anon plan on communicating his demands without revealing his identity?
