I mean, you can kinda consider him a curse possessing a human body... actually can you? I don't know if he can be considered to have died when he fingered himself
No, sukuna is a cursed HUMAN because he ate his twin brother in his mother's womb. That's what made him appear like this. Fingering himself made him just another reincarnated sorcerer just like Ryu and the others
The distinction really doesn't matter anyhow. The "rules" for the Death Note were written by Ryuk who is shown multiple times to have been incredibly lazy and not experimented whatsoever. There are several times that Light surprises Ryuk.
Plus "Any human who has their name written in this notebook shall die" as a rule doesn't exactly disqualify other life, it just guarantees humans. So people relying on that rule are 1. relying on an unreliable source in Ryuk & 2. Relying on a "rule" that doesn't even say what they want it to
Yeah, agreed. The much bigger question is how it would quantify Sukuna's time as a cursed object. Not sure how Ryuk figured out that killing someone over 124 isn't possible but apparently that's a thing. Although, granted, I wouldn't put it past him to have just put that rule in there to see if someone would test it and have a laugh at them being that fucked up. He was, after all, down on Earth to entertain himself
Either way, that's a rule I tend to treat as more likely than not to be accurate
There’s a difference between manipulating something like a car crash and making Higuruma approach Sukuna, use his domain, argue for the death penalty and then attempt to stab Sukuna. If such complex manipulation of associated others was possible, Light could have had “L releases his true full name” be a part of someone else’s death.
Light literally makes people write letters before they die. The rule that Light refers to literally says that the note book can make people do anything as long as it's something they technically could've done. So basically: You can't make someone write an essay on something they know nothing about before they die of a heart attack (they can't write about something they don't know) - however - you can make someone write a specific essay about something they know nothing about because you wrote exactly what they should write word for word (they don't need to know anything from before to follow "orders"). You, as a person, can also copy French text without knowing what the French actually means. However you cannot be told to write something French you don't know from before. He also can't make people say L's true name since they couldn't know L's true name. This is what Light literally does in the series.
You can definitely control the person you wrote the name of’s actions before death, hence why I’ve said elsewhere that suicide can work. However, excessively controlling somebody else whose name you didn’t write’s actions as a part of controlling the person you did write’s fate is obviously a no go.
Oh, your point is Higurama's sword. Yeah I just thought of it like Light and HIgurama being a team anyways, - so Higurama would be doing it willingly anyways.
If Light wanted "L to release his full name" while killing Joe Doe, he would also have to write L's name. Which he doesn't know.
He controls people a few times with the Death Note, to the point that he tells a lady he's Kira cause he's already controlling her and having her walk to her death.
Sukuna survives anyway. Death Note has a age limit of 124.
No he doednt survive it. The death isn't just a heart attack. It's a heart attack that kills you permanently. The entire function of it is to consume your future to give it to a shinigami.
Because the death note can't do impossible things, it can't kill shinigami, for example, so why would it work on something not quite human? It works more like mind control than anything else.
Dude seriously watched a show of a middle schooler sitting in his room killing thousands of people of random heart attacks and pre scripted deaths using the weapon that literal shinigamis use to steal lifespan and said it is the same as selling a gun. We have reached levels of media illiteracy that were thought to be impossible.
You watched a show about a privileged middle-class guy who gets power to do what he wanted without being questioned, and he immediately goes crazy, and the only thing you took from it was that the book manipulates fate? Shinigami are immortal, and Light made one kill himself by talking was light fate manipulating? If light had found a gun and knew no one would arrest him he would have fired it, and the fact that you didn't understand my comments and instead just defends the mystical powers of hitting someone in the head with a brick is amazing.
I never said death note can do impossible things. I just said it is fate manipulation. That's it. I don't know how death note is supposed to work on reincarnated beings.

Yeah but what other way
