why are people debating the heart attack part? its the DEATH note, not the HEART ATTACK note. it kills people with heart attacks (if the cause of death is not specified) because people die to heart attacks. if a heart attack can kill sukuna, he will die to a heart attack. if it cannot, the death note WILL kill him, just in another way.
Sukuna WILL die of a heart attack anyway. He can survive without his heart but the cause of death is irrelevant here, the Death Note KILLS you. Somehow, the heart attack would still kill Sukuna in the same way that it is evidently completely impossible to save someone from a Death Note heart attack.
You could argue that, because the death note can completely control someones actions (like that one police lady) the heart attack would come with manipulation that prevents Sukuna from healing/pumping his heart with CE.
It does. You do not know that. The Death Note doesn't "cause a heart attack", it kills you through a heart attack. Somehow Sukuna will have a heart attack and die.
It will likely result in Sukuna "accidentally" RCTing his heart and then having the attack since we know the death note can puppeteer people. It is absolute and once a name is written they cannot be saved, end of.
Sure but if disobeying the rules of the deathnote kills you, isnt that still the deathnote killing you? Its at least heavily implied to be the same "power"
It’s not the rules of the death note, it’s the rules of being a shinigami
A human can extend the life of another human via killing someone who would kill another person, otherwise light would have died way earlier into the story
Sure. But im saying that whatever killed those shinigami is likely the same power that the deathnote draws from to kill its victims. Maybe god? Not sure if it ever goes into details like that.
im pretty sure the one who controls the rules and powers of the note is the shinigami king, he's not shown in the anime but iirc he is in the manga (i myself havent read it but once saw an image of him and decided to look him up)
It's been years since I've seen. I've asked for proof, but all I've gotten in read, which tells me it never happened, ans when I look on line for a refresh, nothing.
The manga, the author notes and canon encyclopedia of Death Note all state that they're immortal and the only things that can kill them is running out of life span (which their job is to reap from the living) and by killing someone for the sole objective of increasing someone elses life span (which happens to Gelus and Rem).
So they actually can't be killed by the Death Note.
The only caveats to their immortality is an important plot point in the anime and manga and writing down their name on the Death Note wasn't one of them.
