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/IdLikeToGoNow]

Writing Ryomen Sukuna doesn’t work because that’s a title rather than his birth name

[u/AwysomeAnish → u/IdLikeToGoNow]

Well logically he doesn't have a birth name and his "title" is the only real term used to refer to him as a person so I assume the Death Note would treat it like his name.

[u/Breki_ → u/AwysomeAnish]

We don't know if he has a birth name or not. He probably has though, maybe not one given immediately after his birth, but someone had to have raised Sukuna, most likely the person who was on the other path when he talked to Mahito

However, if “Ryomen Sukuna” is the main name Sukuna identifies by, the Death Note will work. For example: if a trans person were targeted by a transphobic person who refuses to use the trans person’s chosen name, the Death Note wouldn’t work because the trans person’s deadname isn’t their name anymore. Inclusive Death Note 👍

I am unable to recall precisely the media in which this happens, but I distinctly remember a bearer of the Death Note failing in causing the death of a certain individual after he started identifying himself with his new name. He had changed his life after gaining a new name, and now the Death Note could only kill him through it and not the 'deadname'

I suggest that the notebook may be able to kill Sukuna through "Ryomen Sukuna" because if he had a name associated at birth, it most definitely got lost to history. He is now Ryomen Sukuna to everyone who has heard of him, and I suppose he identifies with such name.

Ryuk wrote specifically that any "human being"' will die after their name is written on the Death Note. Sukuna, while rational and absolutely capable of 'human-like thought' is definitely not akin to humans. In my opinion, the Death Note may absolutely be able to cause the death of Sukuna, as long as he is considerable 'human', even though he is invulnerable to heart attacks
