Kira's appearance shakes the world: Criminals are beginning to fear being killed; crime rates are decreasing in several countries; Some see Kira as a hero; others like a murderer; Support groups for Kira are emerging; Governments are cooperating to try to stop it. This division of public opinion is one of the central themes of the universe, opposing legal justice to the justice imposed by Kira.

The Death Note cannot: to resurrect someone; to kill without knowing the real name; to kill without knowing the face; to make immortal; modify the past; to accomplish impossible actions; to create supernatural powers in a human.

In the world of Death Note: There is no paradise; nor hell. All humans go into nothingness after their death, without exception.

Every human has a predetermined lifespan. The Shinigami see it above the heads of humans in the form of numbers. This duration can be modified by: the use of the Death Note; certain supernatural events.

A Shinigami dies if he willfully kills a human in order to prolong the life of another person out of love or sacrifice. Upon his death: his body disappears into dust; Only his Death Note remains.

The Shinigami must: to respect the laws of their kingdom; not to kill in order to voluntarily save a human being; retrieve their Death Note if necessary; to follow the decisions of the Shinigami King.

Multiple Death Notes can exist at the same time. Each notebook usually has its own Shinigami. A human can come into possession of several notebooks during their lifetime.

Even a simple sheet of paper retains all the power of the notebook. Writing a name on a torn-out page works exactly the same as in the complete notebook.

To see a Shinigami, a human must touch: the Death Note; or a piece of it. Once this contact is established, the Shinigami linked to the notebook becomes visible and audible to that person.

If a human voluntarily abandons their Death Note: he loses all the memories associated with the notebook; He forgets that he was Kira; He forgets about the Shinigami. Upon touching his Death Note again, all his memories immediately return.

The first human to pick up the notebook becomes its owner. He can: use it; hide it; lend it; transmit it; abandon one's property.

A human can make a deal with a Shinigami. In exchange for half of his remaining lifespan, he receives: the ability to see the true name of humans; the ability to see their life expectancy. However, he cannot see the lifespan of other Death Note owners.

The Death Note can force a person to act before their death. Examples: send a letter; walk to a place; to telephone; write a message. It is impossible to do this to him: to perform a supernatural act; reveal information that she is unaware of; to accomplish something impossible.

Without further details The victim died of a heart attack approximately 40 seconds after his name was entered. With a specific cause The user can write: the cause of death; the circumstances; the actions performed before dying. These events must remain physically possible.

It is mandatory to: to know the person's real name; to know his face; Write your name correctly. Two people with the same name are therefore unlikely to be confused if their faces are known.

The Death Note is a black notebook with immense power. Its fundamental rule is: Anyone whose name is written in the Death Note dies, provided the user has their face in mind.

Shinigami are supernatural beings tasked with taking lives. They : do not age; do not get sick; can fly; are invisible to ordinary humans; They each possess a Death Note; can see the real name and lifespan of humans. They are neither good nor bad: they follow their own rules.

The World of Humans This is the real world. Humans are unaware of the existence of the Shinigami. Governments, the police, and the justice system are functioning normally.
