The Use of Death Note: Basic Rules
The BASIC RULES of Death Note
Basic rules
* Human whose name is written on death note shall die.
* Unless the writer has the face of the person whom the name is to be written on the death note in their mind, there will be no effect.
* In relation, the human of the same name, or with alias name will not be affected.
* After the name is written, the cause of death must be written within 40 seconds.
* If the cause of death is not written, the cause of death will all be “heart attackâ€.
* Once the cause of death is started to be written, it all should be written within the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

* The effect of death note is the same even with the page or fragment cut off from death note.
* Regardless of death note ownership, anyone who touches a death note will then be able to see and talk to the Death God (Shinigami) who previously owned the death note.
* A person who does not have an ownership of the death note can obtain the equal effect to the owner if he writes a name on the death note, or fragment of the death note.
* It is not possible to cancel the death of the person whom the name has been written on death note, even with whatever method there is.

Yagami Raito is a brilliant, but bored, high school student who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the “Death Noteâ€, lying on the ground. The Death Note’s instructions claim that if a human’s name is written within it that person shall die. Raito is initially skeptical of the Death Note’s authenticity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Raito is forced to admit that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a Shinigami (Death God) named Ryuku, Raito seeks to become “the God of the new world†by passing his judgment on criminals, and to seek… “justiceâ€.
