Death Note/Headscratchers/Death Notes in Other Fiction: Difference between revisions

* What would happen if you wrote "Dick Cheney"? He wouldn't be able to die of a heart attack (as his blood flow will literally never stop unintentionally due to him having a non-stop pump, not a heart), but that's the default. This also applys to other human beings with that kind of artifical blood flow, as well as people with fully robotic bodies in [[Ghost in Thethe Shell]].

* What would happen if a Death Note was used on [[Bleach (Manga)|Ichigo Kurosaki]]?

** Ok, how about this: The Shinigami are not the personifications of death. They are trans-dimensional parasites, much like the [[Discworld (Literature)/Lords and Ladies|elves]]. Their parasite universe attatches itself to other worlds allowing the Shinigami to steal human lifespans. Now, when someone writes a name in a Death Note on the [[Discworld]], it results in sand disappearing from [[Death's Hourglass]]. It's possible that {{smallcaps| Death}} can fix it, but he probably either thinks it's against the rules or it's a lot of effort, even for him.

** Related question-: considering (crossing over with WMG) Death Note owners may already be in [[The Virus|the early stages]] of [[Dead All Along|of converting into Shinigami...]] then might they have an immunity to zombie-ism and other forms of [[The Virus]]?

* What about using Death Notes in other narrative universe in generals? In DC Comics with Death of the [[Sandman|Endless]]? Or in "[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]"?

* Can you kill [[Heroes (TV series)|Claire Bennet]] with a Death Note?

* [[Torchwood (TV)|Captain Jack Harkness.]] If someone made the eye trade and looked at him, what would they see for his lifespan?

* How about using the Death Note against [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|the humanoid Cylons]]-the ones which are for all intents and purposes ARE human-and against Cylon resurrection technology.

** And, on that note (no pun intended), if Shiho Miyano <ref> I'm not saying she ''does'', just saying ''if'' she did</ref> thinks of herself as Ai Haibara, would that change anything?

* What would happen if you tried to use a Death Note to kill [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny]]?

* What would happen if an [[Anti-Magic]] person touched a Death Note? For example what if [[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index|Touma's Imagine Breaker]] or [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Asuna's magic canceling]] was used? Would it have no affecteffect, destroy the Death Note, undo the Death Note or immediately end all unissued commands?

** Anything written in the Death Note beforehand would still take affect, but the Death Note itself would be turned into a regular notebook. Furthermore, events normally triggered by loss of Death Note ownership would not trigger. In order to cancel anything written beforehand it would be neccesarynecessary to use the anti-magic ability on the target.

* Anything with time travel, since it doesn't appear to exist in the ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' universe. Or ships that move at relativistic speeds. Or black holes. If the person whose name is written in a death note goes back in time, that would presumably extend the time, from their point of view, before the death note gets them (unless, and this is a distinct possibility as this troper remembers something on the subject of whether people still die after the death note in which their name is written is destroyed, whether the death note kills them or they had a sort of "death token" or their soul was told to die at the specified time) but not any details). If the "death token" possibility is accurate, does it go by universal time, or personal time (say, a person in 2004 is written to die in 2005. They go to 2001. Do they die in 2005 or 2002?) If the death note goes back in time, do dates written in the future still apply, or dies the 23-day rule move with the death note? (for example, on March 1, 2005, their name is written for March 21, 2005. If the writer goes back to February 10, 2005, are they no longer within the 23-day time limit?) If a person and a death note are moving at different near-light speeds (name drops ''definitely'' unintended), do they die based on the death note's time, universal time, or their own time? (A person in 3008 is written to die three days later universal time. Three days later, universal time, the person has only experienced two days, and the death note has only experienced one hour. Does he die then, does he die one of his days later, or does he die 71 of the death note's hours later? It gets even more complicated if they are moving at those speeds when the name is written. And does the lifespan/time of death thing above the person's head change to reflect this, or is it built in, or does it show the lifespan [if it is lifespan and not time of death] based on the perception of the person viewing it? Do shinigami even succumb to relativistic speeds, or do they always view time at the same rate?) A black hole is just the stuff that goes with the relativity issues, but with the added detail that the death note will exist slower and slower until it is destroyed, or just keep existing more and more slowly forever.

* If one were to kill [[Watchmen (comics)|Rorschach]] with a Death Note, how would do it? Given that he sees his superhero persona as his real self, would one enter Walter Kovacs in the notebook, or Rorschach? Also, he considers his mask his face. If one only new the superhero name and only saw the mask, would that count as both a name and a face?

* If a ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'' shinigami was in a gigai or someone else's body, and made the eye deal with a shinigami, would they still be able to use the shinigami eyes as a spirit?

* If shinigami eyes were used on a clan leader in ''[[Warrior Cats (Literature)|Warrior Cats]]'', would it show how long until they next died, or how long until they died for good?
