You just write a person you know's name in it." Unlocking this secret could have cost Light his life, (if that sounds melodramatic, an early death) but his spelling abilities allowed him to almost rule the entire world.īoy handed death note and bored Shinigami encounter. This means that one of these factors prevented Light from dying, and continuing to utilize the power of the Death Note. Luckily Light did not intend to misspell the names, and he also spelled the very first one correct. How the Shinigami killings occur is a very interesting speculation, but impossible to comprehend. The truth is, nobody knows what would have happened had Light been wrong more than 4 times before getting it right, since we never see what the Death Note would do in a situation like that. However, we never see somebody incorrecly spell a name 4 times in a row to see what would happen to them, since Light got his very first guess right. If you figure out a particular rule by testing it, you can utilize it how Light did. As we see in the Manga and the Series, the rules of the Death Note can be somewhat loose. Takuo would die because Light still got it right once, and a name written in a Death Note can never be prevented.Įven though I have already stated that intent is required for the Death Note to be effective, evidence is only seen for this in "Onison," which was only a skit, and the word "intent" in the rule on the Death Note page describing that the person would die if it was written incorrectly four times.Įven though Light did truely intend to spell it correctly, he did know he would potentially misspell it as well. Light would die since he got the spelling wrong 4 times in a row before getting it right. Had Takuo's name been written incorrectly over 4 times first by Light, and then one of the next four spelling been correct, Light may have been killed first, then Takuo. Light Yagami has found the perfect murder weapon, and unknowing almost killed himself in the process of trying it out. Because she tried with intent to spell correctly, she did not die Light Yagami did not die for the exact same reason. They do not die, however, because L knew Misa was illiterate, (at least in this version of Death Note) and she tried her best to spell the names correctly. In "Onison," L has Misa write his and his companions name's down four times. However, just like in "Death Note Onison", the intent to misspell is a key factor.
There is, however, a rule in the death note stating that if a person intentionally writes a name incorrectly four times, that person will die. The next 7 attempts were other guesses at the spelling of Takuo. He wrote down the man's name 8 times, the first of which was correct. This does not appear to violate the rule on rendering the Death Note void if the user misspells a person's name more than 4 times, if one of the first four spellings was correct (which seems to be the case). Long story short, he was trying to match a name for that face by going through every possible spelling.Įditing in some info from the below comments: He did not have to try this out with his first victim because he got both his face and name from TV. If I'm correct on this, the first column are different spellings for Shibuimaru, the second for Takuo, and the third column refers to the death ("accidental death" (事故死) is what it says). This also means that no collateral casualties would occur, as that particular person's face was being pictured in his mind. This means that Light was trying every possible spelling of the name, because at least one of them would match with the face pictured when he wrote the names. 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 one that is significant in this particular case is rule #2 (highlight by me):
LIGHTWRITE CHANNEL PART SERIES
Now, if you've already watched the series and are currently re-watching it, you're already familiarised with the rules. The Death Note wiki page on the first episode also states this as a fact (in the sixth paragraph in the synopsis.
From what I remember (although I don't know enough Japanese to confirm this), he was trying every possible different spelling for the name of the victim.
