this, unless you're a dumbass who starts killing off everyone around you by exploding their head or something there's no way anyone would get caught for using one.

I don't think most people would get caught. Light wanted himself to be known because of his ego. As long as you aren't as narcissistic as him it should be simple.

Besides if you use it sparingly no one will ever learn of its existence.

If you used it only famous people or on regular people very cleverly, you'd never be caught. Having the Death Note would make you the ruler of the world. You could get any laws you wanted passed and create or end wars on a whim by including an elaborate death (dictator X dies after having outlawed circus peanuts). You could probably kill evil relatives specifying that a long future death and leaving you their magic lottery winnings. For getting rid of personal enemies, just make them take a long vacation and die of random violence nowhere near you.

Absolute power that couldn't be resisted for long by anyone. If 10 random people of above-average intelligence were gifted Death Notes and never revealed them to anyone, I wonder how much our world would change?

That "stuck in limbo" thing was a trick. Everyone in the Death Note universe ceases to exist after they die, Death Note users included.

This assumes the user with the death note does stupid shit like kill all the registered sex offenders in his area.

You give someone like the Unabomber a death note who just kills people at fucking random and he'll never get caught.

They can do it whenever they want. If Light never found the Death Note, IDK if Ryuk would've been the one to kill him, but when you find it and use it, that shinigami will be assigned to kill you.

Basically do the exact opposite that Light did.

Don't start out targeting individuals in your city, state, country.

If someone "challenges" you on national tv, don't take the bait.

Don't take potato chips and dramatically EAT THEM!!!

Yes, in an epilogue some guy killing old people commited suicide after Near told him he was a waste of time.

2nd movie spoilers L also writes his name in the Death Note so he can live for another 23 days and catch Kira's confession as he's "dying".

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The video still introduces a tons of flaws that demands the user to be incredibly narcissistic and quite dumb to get caught.

His point works against him. The internet is so advanced that there's a ton of ways to get names and faces of people all around the globe without making it obvious. The media for example loves putting high profile cases all over the media, newspapers, enquirer, magazines and more. You could easily space that shit out and get the names and faces you need.

Not to mention a lot of his points rely heavy on some bold idiot being caught on the internet doing something leading to them being tracked down, or nuggets of clues saying "hi I exist, come find me if!" Which is entirely a different scenario to someone finding a deathnote and random people across the globe just start dying.

Probably longer than Light, if only because I don't have an oversized god complex where I would want to be known nor do I watch TV that would potentially result me in writing down a secret prisoner's name and narrowing down my location to one area of one country.

You don't even need to rely on solely the internet in this day and age.

Thousands of channel's, names and faces of high profile people displayed on magazines, movies, TV and more. You'd have to actively go on a mass murder spree or be a moron typing in names on a computer/phone/something traceable everyday to get caught easily.

That was a stupid plot twist, they should have stuck to their guns there. Of course Rurik or whatever his name is could be an unreliable source there so who knows.

There really wouldn't unless you are like a lot of terrorists hopping on the internet looking up names. Or any other traceable tech.

You could literally live a normal day, and had a specific leaning group of people around the globe dropping like flies and there's no way they'd track you down. Their names and faces are everywhere on all forms of entertainment and media. Not particularly difficult to get them.

The only path forward I see getting caught in this scenario is going the Light Yagami route of being so narcissistically careless or being some radical (who tends to leave large crumbs of digital and physical evidence to their crimes.

Especially since you can get incredibly creative on how, what, and even when someone dies.

PSA I want to make it clear we are talking about a fictional book, with fictional powers in a fictional and very impossible scenario. Just in case anyone is getting the wrong ideas about my post.

Yeah you guys are forgetting you can further elaborate on what the person does or says before they die, they don't always have to die via generic heart attack.

See, Light was an idiot, he used the default method of heart attack frequently. Made it easier to track him down. He should have varied the methods more.

Realistically though, even if you somehow became a prime suspect, they'd still have to prove you did it, and would also need the Death Note itself and would have to prove it was the book that did it in the first place.

So someone would have to test it out.

It would be incredibly hard for the average person to get away with it for long since having that kind of power can change anybody into an arrogant psychopath.

Don't like someone? Death note
They date a girl you like? Death note
Girl doesn't like you? Death note

It'll get way too easy for someone to get too comfortable with that kind of power. Eventually, people will realize that bad things happen to people that are around you.

I feel like somebody would need to have an incredible amount awareness and living life outside of themselves monklike or godlike.
