Current Events > If you had possession of a Death Note, would you make the Eye Trade?

(+) Yeah! (+)

With the Shinigami Eyes, you can see both the names and remaining lifespans of any human whose face you can see; however, you can't see your own lifespan, nor those of other Death Note holders. You also gain a visual acuity of over 3.6 (about 72/20)

In order to make the trade, you have to give up half of your remaining lifespan, and the traded lifespan is not given back to you should you lose possession of your Death Note (which also removes the Eyes, meaning that if you regain possession of a Death Note some time after, you'd have to make the trade again to get the Eyes back, meaning halving your already halved lifespan).

As long as you aren't an egomaniac like Light, you should be able to hide your killings, and if no one knows about "Kira" then people won't feel a need to hide their public information, so you can function just fine without the eyes.

Yeah, you just flatout don't need it.

Though the 72/20 vision sounds pretty good.

hell yeah

Id give it back to the shinigami honestly
I dont want such power

In the world of social media, why would you even need this?

Criminals on the street and so on

Hard pass. No need to even think about it.
