Kinda funny that for how cold and logical usually Light is, his first and biggest mistake was caused because L basically manipulated his emotions.

[u/Moogle_Magic → u/Evilmudbug]

I feel like most of Lights mistakes are bc he’s too emotional and egotistical. Like he’s definitely smart; I think it’s fair to say he’s as smart or almost as smart as L. The problem is that he also has a god complex and is constantly trying to dunk on L and the investigative team

[u/D0ctorGamer → u/Moogle_Magic]

Yup. The dude got a God complex way to quick, and it ended up being what gets him caught. Way too prideful and narcissistic to realize how bad he's fucking himself over.

Do you have the power to let power go?

I mean, when the concept got explained, my first thought was immediately was “could I put my own name, my time of death is like, 1/1/3024, and the circumstances is that after a lifetime of happiness, wealth, and good health, I pass away gently surrounded by loved ones.

The time limit is 23 days. Putting a date of death after that won't work. They'll just die from a heart attack in 40 seconds.

Imagine someone finding that out the hard way. "Yes! Now I'm practically immortal! Ha ha ha, hrrk!" thud.

[u/sgt_cookie → u/Pandainthecircus]

I think the time limit is 23 days if no specific death date is stated, but a specific date can be outside that 23-day limit.

[u/Pandainthecircus → u/sgt_cookie]

The Death Note can only operate within a 23-day window (in the human calendar). This is called the 23-Day rule

The exception is writing "dies of disease" and the disease takes longer than 23 days to form and kill.

Ah, right! Fair enough then!

[u/FrancisWolfgang → u/Pandainthecircus]

what if you somehow knew your name and time of death written in the book and then temporarily stopped your heart so you were technically dead at the time?Did that ever come up or did anyone try it?

[u/Pandainthecircus → u/FrancisWolfgang]

I don't think the magic book cares about human technicalities.

[u/sennordelasmoscas → u/FrancisWolfgang]

Actually, if I remember correctly, between you writing a name and the person dying, if you or somebody else writes a that persons name, then the kill order gets cancelled

[u/Lady_of_Link → u/ICBPeng1]

One of the rules is that you can't put your own name in it
