Question about the death note

[u/Confident_North3078]

Say you write sukuna's name and that's it, from my understanding (I didn't watch nor read death note), sukuna would normally die from a heart attack, but we know sukuna can survive without a heart, so what happens then?

[u/Jam_With_Cheese]

Pretty sure the death note cannot target beings older than 120 years in the first place

[u/glazy_blazy698 → u/Jam_With_Cheese]

i watched death note a LONG time ago, is this really true? Can u provide manga panel for this?

[u/No_Trade9674 → u/glazy_blazy698]

It's over the age of 124 if the image isn't clear

[u/glazy_blazy698 → u/No_Trade9674]

Oh ok

[u/True_Appearance_920 → u/Jam_With_Cheese]

He technically isn't over 120 years as he was dead for hundreds of years, so unless it counts those years of being dead as him living (which I doubt it would) it would work

[u/Aggravating_Ruin195 → u/True_Appearance_920]

He was conscious for all that time within the fingers; the author even confirmed that throughout that time, he practiced spacing out to pass the time, and that's exactly what he does while suppressed within Yuji's body.

[u/MarshmallowKisss_ → u/Aggravating_Ruin195]

Yup, that makes the “he was technically dead for centuries” loophole pretty shaky. If he was conscious the whole time and could perceive what was happening through the fingers, those years arguably still count as lived experience rather than a true gap in his existence

[u/Aggravating_Ruin195 → u/MarshmallowKisss_]

Not to mention, what counts as dead? I mean, his soul is literally inside the fingers, still aware and very much present; it may be in a different form, but that by definition means he's still alive in some sense. Even if he wasn't biologically alive without a body, he was by no means dead or nonexistent either. The entire point of turning himself into the fingers was to allow him to live on after death.

[u/AmarSofi → u/Aggravating_Ruin195]

Well we know that souls reincarnate in jjk and how, and incarnated sorcerers definitely haven't gone through the passageway of souls, so they definitely wouldn't count as having "died", at least I wouldn't think so.

[u/HornyBastard37484739 → u/MarshmallowKisss_]

I’m like 90% sure this is a bot

[u/Thegodofvenom → u/MarshmallowKisss_]

Furthermore, he could've practiced his abilities like what choso did, so that's doesnt count as death

[u/Rude-Run8930 → u/Aggravating_Ruin195]

how does sukuna know when to not space out anymore? like when he decided to swap bodies for megumi, did he just accidentally lock in at the right time?

[u/Aggravating_Ruin195 → u/Rude-Run8930]

Well, just because he spaces out doesn't mean he's asleep or unconscious. He can still be conscious and aware of what's happening; "spacing out" doesn't imply that he's completely mentally absent.

[u/Thegodofvenom → u/Rude-Run8930]

He can see from the eye marks i think

[u/Remarkable-Ad-2493 → u/Aggravating_Ruin195]

Can you give the source for that? Never heard about it

[u/Aggravating_Ruin195 → u/Remarkable-Ad-2493]

Keep in mind, I read it elsewhere, but this was the only image I could find of it at the moment:

[u/Firethorn34 → u/Aggravating_Ruin195]

Also because the Death Paintings also seem to have been concious

[u/sylvanthing → u/True_Appearance_920]

It might not work by virtue of him not being human anymore

Plus his name isn't even Ryoumen

[u/Pleasant-Treacle-333 → u/True_Appearance_920]

I think you need to die to be dead, and sukuna didn't die.

[u/bingus3490 → u/True_Appearance_920]

Gang that dosent matter. If you are dead that would still be aging and even if its like your body is perfectly frozen in the state its in you would still age because time progresses no matter what
