读《死亡日记》有感

第一次读这本《死亡日记》是很多年前的事，那时候我带六年级，班上有个女生在科任课上看，被没收了，我随便翻阅竟被吸引。读过之后，竟然去书店淘了一本作为珍藏。这些年来，我总会隔段时间就拿出来看看。感触颇深。

主人公是陆幼青，一个坚强地和胃癌战斗了长达五六年之久的普通人，选择日记作为自己的武器。虽然他最终没能完成和家人约定好的百篇之约，但在我眼里，他是一个不折不扣的胜利者。

      陆幼青的文笔是十分流畅和漂亮的，而且，字里行间，你能看得出和读得到一种忧郁和凄美的感觉。

    “冬天，一个清洌的湖，湖水并不纯净，只是因为寒冷的沉淀才如此……

      湖的对面有一幢欧式的大房子，依稀是白色的。每个房间都亮着灯，看不真切，它巨大的身影投在湖面上，却一动不动，只是灯光看上去更亮了。过了一会儿，它开始熄灯，一盏、二盏、三盏……熄灯的过程缓慢而又坚定，像一个仪式……

      最后一盏灯灭掉的时候，有人死了。”

      这是陆幼青叙述的自己小时候曾经多次想象到的与死亡有关的画面。看过后，我不禁有些惊叹和惊讶。如果真的是在那么小的时候，陆幼青就想到了死亡，而且，还把它想得那样美、那样静、那样安详，就像一个美丽的童话一般。我想，可能没有人会不为之惊叹和惊讶的。不过，前后想来，这也倒是符合陆幼青自始至终坚持的“生命是因为有结局才绚丽”的认识。

      在陆幼青的《死亡日记》里，我们能看到的不仅是他对死的态度，更重要的还有他对生的反思。如果说，他对死的态度告诉了我们坦然，那么，他对生的反思，则告诫了我们珍惜。

     “其实，我们的人生是不必匆忙如此的。

       我们体味春天的到来，不应该是从Bp机的信息栏里的天气预报；我们跟父母交流不应只是接听电话里他们的关心唠叨；我们给孩子的亲吻不应该是盖邮戳般的机械；我们对妻子和丈夫不应只是在亲热之后的一刻才语调温柔。

      如果我们不再匆忙，要做这一切，何难之有。

      世上本无所谓的忙碌人生，忙碌的只是一群不晓轻重利害的‘无事忙’而已。”

      是啊！有时想想，我们不也是这一群不晓轻重利害的“无事忙”中的一分子吗？当然，为了生活、为了家庭，有时候，我们不得不去忙碌、不去打拼，但这并不是我们忽略和怠慢自己亲人和家庭的理由。陆幼青用生命感悟到的这些肺腑之言，是对自己的总结，更是对我们的提醒。有爱，就应该从我们身边开始。

      逝者已去，生者尚存。面对生命逝去的那时那刻，有谁能说，逝者是一种痛苦？生者是一种幸福呢？可能有时候死，才可以告诉我们如何生。

死亡笔记规则完整版

===DEATH NOTE===

一

⊙在笔记里被写上名字的人就会死。

⊙如果在写上名字时没有把杀害对象的样貌记在脑里便没有效用。而且同名同姓的人一律不能发

挥效用。

⊙写上名字后，在人类世界的时间单位40秒内写上死因，事情便会依照那样而发生。

⊙如果没有写上死因的话，一切也当作心脏麻痹。

⊙在写上死因之后，会再给予6分40秒详细记载死亡状况的时间。

二

⊙由这本笔记丢下人类世界的地上开始，它便是属于人类世界的物件。

⊙持有者可以认出笔记原本持有者死神的样子和声音。

⊙曾使用过这本笔记的人类，死后不可以到天堂或地狱。

三

⊙当在死因上写上心脏麻痹后，如果在40秒以内写上死亡时间的话，即使死因是心脏麻痹也可

以操纵死亡时间，其时间要在写上名字后的40秒以内写上。

⊙曾经碰过死亡笔记的人类，即使不是那笔记的持有者也可以认出原本持有者死神的样子和声

音。

四

⊙当持有死亡笔记的时候，会被原本持有者死神缠着直到自己死亡为止。

⊙死神通常会在使用笔记后39日以内，在曾经使用过笔记的人类面前出现。

⊙死亡笔记原本持有者死神，基本上不会利用那笔记做出帮助或妨碍死亡的行为。 ⊙死亡笔记的使用方法和在拥有笔记的人身上产生的规则，死神一律没有义务去说明。

五

⊙死神可借着写在死亡笔记上人类的名字而令自己的生命延长，但人类却不能延长生命。

⊙自己可以用死亡笔记缩短自己的寿命。

⊙成为死亡笔记持有者的人类，若把自己余下寿命的一半作交换，便可得到看见人类样貌便知道

那人的名字后寿命的死神之眼。

⊙即使用刀刺中心脏或者用枪射穿头部也不能杀死死神。可是，一般的死神是不知道杀死死神的

方法是存在的。

六

⊙写上的死亡状况，必须是那人类在物理上可能办到的事，如果那个人的行动不是他理所应当能

作到的范围便不会实现。

⊙在死亡状况里办到的事能多么详细，连死神也不知道，唯有靠自己去验证。

七

⊙从笔记中撕出的一页或碎纸，也拥有笔记的一切特性。

⊙只要是能留下文字，又或者是用书写道具直接写上笔记，无论什么都可以。即使是化妆品和血

液也没问题。

⊙就算是死神也对死亡笔记有很多不知道的事。

八

⊙先把死因和死亡状况写上，其后在把名字写在那些文字的前面也会有效。在那个情况下，直到

写上名字为止的有效期间大约是人类时间单位的19日。

⊙即使不是死亡笔记持有者，若知道样貌和名字并把名字写上的话，也可以有与持有者使用时相

同的效果。

九

⊙死亡笔记是无法影响出生后未满780日的人类的。

⊙如果脑海中浮现同一个人的样貌，并把名字写错4次的话，那人就再也不会被死亡笔记杀死。

（但是不清楚是所有的死亡笔记都无效还是只有出错的那本死亡笔记无效）

十

⊙在死因上写上“自杀”是有效的，几乎对于所有人类来说，自杀是被视为可能的事。“从来没

想过”并不列入在内。

⊙无论是自杀还是意外身亡，都无法让没被写上名字的人死去。如果可能会令其他人类死亡的话，

被写上名字的人会在不让第三者死亡的情况下变成心脏麻痹。

十一

⊙纵使是在死亡笔记上写上名字，死亡时间和死亡状况，如果在6分40秒以内的话，把死亡时

间和状况更改多少次也可以。但是即使在6分40秒以内，也要在死亡之前才可以更改。 ⊙当在6分40秒以内更改死亡内容时，首先要在想更改的部分的文字上画上两条直线。 ⊙虽然死亡时间和状况可以依照上述那样更改，但被写上名字的人类，无论用什么手段都无法取

消死亡的命运。

十二

⊙当死亡笔记遗失或被盗去的时候，如果不在490日以内再次回到手上，便会失去所有权。 ⊙曾进行死神之眼交易的人，若失去所有权的话，笔记的记忆和眼的能力也会同时失去。那时，

余下的一半生命也不会回复。

十三

⊙在所有权属于自己的情况下，可以把笔记借给别人。转借也可以。

⊙借用笔记的人身上不会有死神跟着。死神只会跟着持有者。还有，借用的人是不能进行死神之

眼的交易的。

十四

⊙持有者在笔记借人时死去，所有权就会在那时转移到手上拥有的人身上。

⊙当笔记被盗去，而持有者被那盗去的人杀死的时候，所有权便会自动转移到那人身上。

十五

⊙当在两本以上的死亡笔记上，写上相同人类名字的时候，跟记载的死亡时间没有关系，最先写

上名字的会被视为优先。

⊙在2本以上的死亡笔记上写完名字的时间差是0.06秒以内，会被视为同时，写在笔记上的事

会变成无效，被写上名字的人就不会死。

十六

⊙死神一定要持有一本死亡笔记。他不可以将那本笔记转让给人类，也不允许人类在上面填写。

⊙死神互相交换笔记或在其他死神的笔记上填写也没有问题。

十七

⊙死神对特定的人类带有好意，并为了延长那人的寿命而使用死亡笔记杀人的话就会死亡。 ⊙虽然死去的死神会消失，但死亡笔记却会留下。那本笔记的所有权通常会转移到下一个触摸到

笔记的死神身上，不过通常会交换给死神大王。

十八

⊙就算同样是在人类世界持有死亡笔记的人，如果不让对方触摸死亡笔记的话，就不能认出跟着

对方的死神的样貌和声音。

⊙虽然拥有死神之眼的人类可以看见曾见过样貌的人的名字和寿命，但由于那人持有死亡笔记，由被人夺取性命的一方变成夺取性命的一方，所以从只要看见要杀的人寿命就行的想法来看，包

括自己在内，他们不能看见其他持有死亡笔记的人的寿命。

⊙死神不可以将用死神之眼看见的名字和寿命告诉人类。这是顾虑到避免令人类世界产生混乱。

十九

⊙在人类时间使用死亡笔记时，必须要有活着的死神存在在人类世界的情况下才可以让人类使

用。

⊙其后，虽然很难想象跟着人类的死神会死亡，但如果他死了，那个死神带到人类世界内的死亡

笔记的效力也不会产生变化。

二十

⊙若要用死神之眼看人的名字和寿命，必须要看到那人的面孔左右的一半以上，如果是上下的话，必须要看到由头至鼻的部位，单是看见眼以下的部位是看不见名字和寿命的。另外，即使隐藏着面孔的一部分，例如眼，鼻和口等，但只要看到整个面孔，就可以看见名字和寿命。至于隐藏的

部分占去面孔的百分之多少才不能看见，唯有实验一下才知道。

⊙如果通过上述条件，就算是过去的照片或是影像都可以看见名字和寿命。不过，就照片和影象的情况，根据其大小及鲜明度，也有可能会看不到。另外，无论是画得多么真实的肖像画都不能

看见名字和寿命。

二十一

⊙拥有死神之眼的人，不会受原本视力的影响，在人类世界会有3.6以上的视力。

二十二

⊙失去死亡笔记所有权的人，一切自己关于死亡笔记的记忆就会消失。不过，不是丧失由拥有笔记起至失去时的一切记忆，而是以自己一直所做的举动跟自己曾持有笔记的事无关的形式而留下

来。

二十三

⊙得到两本以上的死亡笔记所有权的人，当失去一本所有权时，就不能认出跟着那本笔记的死神

的样貌和声音，而那个死神也会离开他，不过只要还持有一本笔记的话，一切关于笔记的记忆就

不会消失。

二十四

⊙死神不能无端滞留在人间界

⊙可以留在人间界的条件如下:

1 将自己的死亡笔记渡让给了人类

2物色死亡笔记渡让的人类对象，本应在死神界做，但若是在82小时之内，也可在人间界进行。

3以要杀某人为目的而进一步观察该人时，也可在人间界凭依其最多82个小时。

二十五

⊙死神在人间界直接渡让死亡笔记时，不可直接将其交予人间单位不满6岁的小孩。 ⊙虽然死神不可直接将笔记渡让给未满6岁的小孩，但当笔记被掉在人间界时，就属于人间界的

一部份，任何年龄的人使用的效果都是一样。

二十六

⊙若只写上"事故死"的死因，而不写详细死亡状态的话，受害人会在6分40秒之后，在最短的

时间内死于自然意外。

⊙在“事故死”的情况下，即使当时只有被写入名字的人死亡，但是造成极大影响而事后牵连到

他人死亡的话，也被视为违反规则只会死于心脏麻痹。

二十七

⊙若在死亡笔记上死因写"病死"，并指明疾病的名称及死亡时间的话，一定要有足够时间让疾病

生成。若时间太勉强，受害人只会在写完40秒后死于心脏麻痹。

⊙死因为"病死"，但只指明死亡时间而没指定疾病种类的话，其会在指定时间内死于适当的疾病。

⊙但是，用死亡笔记能操纵的死亡时间最多只能有23日。

二十八

⊙死因为"病死"，但只指定疾病种类而未指定死亡时间的话，若该病要在24日甚至以上才能令受害者死亡时，那「操纵的死亡时间最大为23天」的法则便不会产生效果，受害者会根据疾病

在适当的时间死亡。

⊙在上述的情况里，可以在6分40秒内更改死因及死亡状况。但无论怎样更改，死亡时间不变。

二十九

⊙无法用死亡笔记杀超过人间单位124岁的人类

⊙无法用死亡笔记杀只余人间单位12分钟以内寿命的人。

三十

⊙交换了死神眼，用其看到的人类寿命是与在人间界死亡笔记本无关的本来的寿命。 ⊙而且，用死神眼看到的名字是「杀该人所必要的名字」。即使该人在户籍上没有登记名字，也

会看到为杀其而所需的名字。

三十一

⊙无论写多少名字，死亡笔记的页数不会用尽。

三十二

⊙若同时拥有两本或更多死亡笔记时，想着同一人的相貌，在其中一本死亡笔记上写下该人名字，

而将死因及死亡状况写在另一本死亡笔记上，有效。

⊙同理，在一本死亡笔记上先写下死因，之后再在另一本上写下名字，同样有效。

⊙上述情况也可在不同所有权的死亡笔记之间进行。但此时必须是在笔记所有者互相触碰对方的

笔记的状态下。

三十三

⊙如果失去死亡笔记所有权的话，便无法识别宿主死神的音貌。但之前触碰过死亡笔记的其他人

还可以继续识别宿主死神的音貌。

⊙在上述情况下，其他人因为触碰笔记而认知的有关死神以及笔记的记忆会一直存在，直到该人

得到笔记所有权后又丧失为止。

⊙没有所有权的但是碰到过死亡笔记的人??这恐怖的记忆将伴随你度过一生??

三十四

⊙笔记所有者不能被死神界的死神杀死。

⊙以杀笔记所有人为目的而下凡的死神不能直接杀死该人

⊙只有把笔记渡让给人间界的死神才能杀死笔记所有人。

三十五

⊙以逃避死亡笔记制裁为目的而故意将名字写错四次的人，会死亡。

⊙被故意写错名字四次的人，日后依然可以被死亡笔记所杀。

三十六

⊙虽然死神有雄性及雌性之分，但既不容许，也不可能够与人类发生性行为。死神之间也不进行

性行为。

三十七

⊙丢失了所有权的死亡笔记再度获得时，会恢复关于所有死亡笔记的全部记忆。

⊙另外，即使没有重获死亡笔记所有权，在触碰笔记的那一刻内会恢复记忆。

三十八

⊙丧失死亡笔记所有权而失去记忆，又因为重获所有权或者触碰死亡笔记恢复记忆的次数，一本

笔记最大为6次。

⊙上述情况中，如果在6次之后再度获得死亡笔记所有权的话，会以无法恢复记忆的状态重新使

用死亡笔记。

三十九

⊙和死神交易的死亡眼所看到的人的寿命是不能被笔记所左右的其在人间界本来的寿命。因死亡

笔记而死的话，剩余生命归于死神。

四十

⊙交易了死神眼的人，看已死亡的人的照片时，即看不到该人的名字也看不到其寿命。

四十一

⊙死在人间界的死神所遗留下的死亡笔记，如果被人类拣到，就成为了人类的东西。

⊙但是，在上述这种情况时，只有能识别该死神音貌的人，才能看到并触摸到那本死亡笔记。

⊙虽然可能性极小，但是如果被死神拣到，那本笔记的所有权归其所有。

四十二

⊙以死神眼看到的人的姓名是「要杀掉该人所必要的名字」。即使户籍等没有登录其姓名，也能

看到为杀死该人所必需的名字。

四十三

⊙在死亡笔记上写下的名字，文字等，无法用橡皮，墨水消，修正液等消除。

四十四

⊙在人间界的死亡笔记会改变人类的命运。即使没有被写入死亡笔记也有可能缩短寿命。

⊙这样的话，不管死于什么情况，死神眼看到的也只是其原本的自然寿命。

四十五

⊙死神本身所拥有的死亡笔记不经意间掉落到人间界时，可以为取回死亡笔记而滞留在人间界。 ⊙如果此时，人间界还存在其他的死亡笔记的话，不能泄露那些死亡笔记的地点和所有者。

四十六

⊙死神本身所拥有的死亡笔记被其他死神骗取等导致丢失的话，只能从凭依在那本死亡笔记的死神手里取回。如果其笔记没有凭依的死神而被人类所有时，只要触碰笔记就能凭依在该人身上。

只有在该人死亡后，抢在其他人触碰笔记之前取回，或者该人直接返还死亡笔记。

四十七

⊙死神只要一次看到人类的相貌而得知其姓名和寿命的话，就可以从死神界的洞穴探知该人所

在。

四十八

⊙死神如果违反死神界戒律的话，会有从特级到八级共九种刑法。如果犯三级以上刑法，处以死

刑。

⊙例如，死神用死亡笔记以外的手段杀人的话，为特级刑法。

四十九

⊙因将死亡笔记的所有权转交给他人或放弃等原因，导致丧失关于此本笔记的记忆时，只限于在笔记写下姓名、杀过人的情况。仅仅是拥有过所有权并未写下姓名的话，关于那本笔记的记忆不消失。但是，因拥有所有权而能感知到的死神音貌，会因此无法继续感知。换取的死神眼也同时

丧失。

五十

⊙死神即使不睡眠也不会死。原本就不需要睡眠。死神的睡眠明显与人类的睡眠不同，仅仅是怠

惰而已。

⊙特别是将笔记渡让给人间界的死神。没有戒律规定因要目睹笔记使用者的最期，而不许怠惰的

条例。

五十一

⊙人间界同时存在的死亡笔记最多为6本。当然，死神自身所有的那本笔记不计其内。因此，借

将笔记让人类所有为由，滞留在人间界的死神也最多为6只。

五十二

⊙一只死神，同时渡让笔记给不同的人类时，最多为三人。

⊙将笔记渡让给三个人类时，可以采取让每人拥有两本笔记等手段。这样，一只死神可以让人类

所有的笔记最大为6本。

⊙因此，也能让一个人使用6本笔记。

五十三

⊙假设人间界存在第7本笔记时，即使被人类使用，也无任何效果。

五十四

⊙人间界存在7本以上笔记时，只有最早渡让给人类的6本有效。

⊙若非因烧毁等方式使笔记丧失效果，或由死神所有以及带回死神界的话，第7本笔记不发生效

力。

死亡笔记假规则

1，在死亡笔记中写下名字後连续13天内不写下另一个名字的话，使用者死亡。

2，如果撕毁或烧掉死亡笔记的话，所有接触过死亡笔记的人，死亡。

英文版规则

The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing

his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes

and 40 seconds.

Unwritten rules

These rules were not written in the Death Note, but are revealed throughout the story in every

Tankōbon volume of the manga in the form of "How to Use" instructions.

How to Use: I

Note: These are actually written

The Human whose name is written in this note shall die.

This Note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing

his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack. After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40

seconds.

How to Use: II

This note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in)

the human world.

The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of the original owner, i.e a god of death.

The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell.

How to Use: III

If the time of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after

writing the name.

The human who touches the DEATH NOTE can recognize the image and voice of its original

owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note.

How to Use: IV

The person in possession of the DEATH NOTE is possessed by a god of death, its original owner,

until they die.

If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of him/her after he/she uses the

note.

Gods of death, the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, do not do, in principle, anything which

will help or prevent the deaths in the note.

A god of death has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will

apply to the human who owns it.

How to Use: V

A god of death can extend his life by putting human names on the note, but humans cannot.

A person can shorten his or her own life by using the note.

The human who becomes the owner of the DEATH NOTE can, in exchange of half his/her remaining life, get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable him/her to see a human's

name and remaining lifetime when looking though them.

A god of death cannot be killed even if stabbed in his heart with a knife or shot in the head with a gun. However, there are ways to kill a god of death, which are not generally known to the gods of

death.

How to Use: VI

The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is

reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human.

The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you

must examine and find out.

How to Use: VII

One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects

of the note.

The instrument to write with can be anything, ((e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc)) as long as it can write

directly onto the note and remains as legible letters.

Even the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, gods of death, do not know much about the note.

How to Use: VIII

You may also write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual.

Be sure to insert the name in front of the written cause of death. You have about 19 days

(according to the human calendar) in order to fill in a name.

Even if you do not actually possess the DEATH NOTE, the effect will be the same if you can

recognize the person and his/her name to place in the blank.

How to Use: IX

The DEATH NOTE will not affect those under 780 days old.

The DEATH NOTE will be rendered useless if the victim's name is misspelled four times.

How to Use: XI

Even after the individual's name, the time of death, and death condition on the Death Note were filled out, the time and condition of death can be altered as many times as you want, as long as it is changed within 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time it was filled in. But, of course, this is

only possible before the victim dies.

Whenever you want to change anything written on the Death Note within 6 minutes and 40 seconds after you wrote, you must first rule out the characters you want to erase with two straight

lines.

As you see above, the time and conditions of death can be changed, but once the victim's name

has been written, the individual's death can never be avoided.

How to Use: XII

If you lose the Death Note or have it stolen, you will lose its ownership unless you retrieve it

within 490 days.

If you have traded the eye power of a god of death, you will lose the eye power as well as the memory of the Death Note, once you lose its ownership. At the same time, the remaining half of

your life will not be restored.

How to Use: XIII

You may lend the Death Note to another person while maintaining its ownership. Subletting it to

yet another person is possible, too.

The borrower of the Death Note will not be followed by a god of death. The God of Death always remains with the owner of the Death Note. Also, the borrower cannot trade the eyesight of the god

of death.

How to Use: XIV

When the owner of the Death Note dies while the Note is being lent, its ownership will be

transferred to the person who is holding it at that time.

If the Death Note is stolen and the owner is killed by the thief, its ownership will automatically be

transferred to the thief.

How to Use: XV

When the same name is written on more than two Death Notes the Note which was first filled in

will take effect, regardless of the time of death.

If writing the same name on more than two Death Notes is completed within a 0.06 - second difference, it is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Note will not take effect and the individual

written will not die.

How to Use: XVI

The God of Death must at least own one Death Note, that Death Note must never be lent to or

written on by a human.

Exchanging and writing on the Death Note between the gods of death is no problem.

How to Use: XVII

If the god of death decides to use the Death Note to kill the assassin of an individual he favors, the

individuals life will be extended, but the god of death will die.

The dead god of death will disappear, but the Death Note will remain. The ownership of this Death Note is usually carried over to the next god of death that touches it, but it is common sense

that it is returned to the Great god of death.

How to Use: XVIII

Only by touching each other's Death Note can human individuals who own the Death Note in the

human world recognize the appearance or voice of each other's god of death.

An individual with the eye power of a god of death can tell the name and life span of other humans by looking at that person's face. By possessing the Death Note, an individual gains the ability to kill, and stops being a victim. From this point, a person with the Death Note cannot see, the life span of other Death Note owners, including him/herself. But, it is not really necessary for

the individual to view the life span of him/herself is nor other Death Note owners.

The god of death must not tell humans the names or life spans of individuals he sees. This is to

avoid confusion in the human world.

How to Use: XIX

It is prerequisite for the Death Note used in the human world that a living god of death makes sure

that the humans in the human world uses it.

It is very difficult to consider that a god of death who has possessed a human could die, but if he

should die, the Death Note that he brought into the human world will not lose its power.

How to Use: XX

In order to see the names and life spans of humans by using the eye power of the god of death, the owner must look at more than half of that person's face. When looking from top to bottom, he must look at least from the head to the nose. If he looks at only the eyes and under, he will not be able to see the person's name and life span. Also, even though some parts of the face, for example the eyes, nose or mouth are hidden, if he can basically see the whole face, he will be able to see the person's name and life span. It is still not clear how much exposure is needed to tell that name

and life span, and this needs to be verified.

If above conditions are met, names and life spans can be seen through photos and pictures, no matter how old they are. But this is sometimes influenced by the vividness and size. Also, names

and lifespans cannot be seen by face drawings, however realistic they may be.

How to Use: XXI

Those with the eye power of the god of death will have the eyesight of over 3.6 in the human

measurement, regardless of their original eyesight.

How to Use: XXII

The individuals who lose the ownership of the Death Note will also lose their memory of the usage of the Death Note. This does not mean that he will lose all the memory from the day he owned it to the day he loses possession, but means he will only lose the memory involving the

Death Note.

How to Use: XXIII

When an individual with ownership of more than two Death Notes loses possession to one of the Death Notes, he will not be able to recognize that Death Note's god of death's appearance or voice anymore. The god of death himself will leave, but all the memory involving that Death Note will

remain as long as he maintains ownership of at least one other Death Note.

How to Use: XXIV

The god of death must not stay in the human world without a particular reason. Conditions to stay

in the human world are as follows:

I. When the god of death's Death Note is handed to a human.

II. Essentially, finding a human to pass on the Death Note should be done from the world of the

gods of death, but if it is within 82 hours this may also be done in the human world.

III. When a god of death stalks an individual with an intention to kill them, as long as it is within

82 hours of haunting them, the god of death may stay in the human world.

How to Use: XXV

The god of death must not hand the Death Note directly to a child under 6 years of age (based on

the human calendar).

The Death Note must not be handed to a child under 6 years of age, but Death Notes that have been dropped into the human world, and are part of the human world, can be used upon humans of

any age with the same effect.

How to Use: XXVI

If you just write, "die of accident" for the cause of death, the victim will die from a natural

accident after 6 minutes and 40 seconds from the time of writing it.

Even though only one name is written in the Death Note, if it influences and causes other humans

that are not written in it to die, the victim's cause of death will be a heart attack.

How to Use: XXVII

If you write, "die of disease" with a specific diseases's name and the person's time of death, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the disease to progress. If the set time is too tight, the victim will die of a heart attack after 6 minutes and 40 seconds after completing the Death Note. If you write, "die of disease" for the cause of death, but only write a specific time of death without the actual name of disease, the human will die from an adequate disease. But the Death Note can

only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23-day rule.

How to Use: XXVIII

If you write, "die of disease" like before with a specific disease's name, but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to die the 23-day rule will not take effect and the

human will die at an adequate time depending on the disease.

When rewriting the cause and/or details of death it must be done within 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

You cannot change the victim's time of death, however soon it may be.

How to Use: XXIX

You cannot kill humans at the age of over 124 with the Death Note.

You cannot kill humans with less than 12 minutes of life left (in human calculations).
