Something like : "Flo, death by butterflies..."
Is there any hint in the manga.

Well, I recall a segment in an episode where Light specified for a criminal to be killed by escaping his cell, and traveling from Japan to France, where he would fall to his death -- all of which would take place no later than 1 hour. But it's practically impossible to travel from Japan to France in under an hour, so the criminal simply died in his cell from a heart attack.

That suggests that the Death Note cannot perform an act of death that is seemingly impossible to do.

So conclusion: They will simply die of a heart attack.

OK, I gonna ask it here (I hope it's not prohibited or anything, if it is just delete it then), because my patience starts to run out already (not to mention googling for it week by week).
Am I safe to assume that there is no group working at all on the "Death Note Rewrite 2: L's successor" ?
I mean it came out almost a year ago by now, and there is still no english subs anywhere out.
I've found some portuguese or italian ones somewhere on the intranetz (can't decide which, but not spanish for sure as I would have managed with that), but I can't comprehend those 2 either.

Q: My question is.

Spoiler for title:

If Near had the Death Note in the final EP. Why did Kira not see Ryuk beside or behind him and why did Mikami not see him either. Also if Mikami at the end did not have the real Death NOte agian why did Ryuk not tell him it was a fake. 3 While Mikami was being followed why did Ryuk not tell him he was being followed Just like he did with Light and the FBI agent. My last question I fell is more like BS....How the heck was Gevanni able to enter a bank vault get the vault deposit key and switch Death Notes with out every being caught? As that is impossible for even the most professional person.

I believe they did see him. Kira even spoke to him.

Also if Mikami at the end did not have the real Death NOte agian why did Ryuk not tell him it was a fake.

Ryuk just liked observing the events. He is not one to give away secrets. He wanted to see how things would unfold.

3 While Mikami was being followed why did Ryuk not tell him he was being followed Just like he did with Light and the FBI agent.

When Ryuk told Light, Ryuk was following Light and thus annoyed by the FBI agents. It is my understanding that he didn't follow Mikami but stayed with Light.

My last question I fell is more like BS....How the heck was Gevanni able to enter a bank vault get the vault deposit key and switch Death Notes with out every being caught? As that is impossible for even the most professional person.

Well, we'll never know! But I actually read a book where someone got into one but it was not realisitic, of course.

This text is just filler. My answers are in the spoiler tag.

You are correct, L is the man with the big pupils that sits in strange postures and eats a lot of sweets. But do not let the names confuse you as he does have many different aliases (Ryuzaki). The protagonist, and owner of the Death Note, is Light Yagami who is also known as Kira.

When the characters are deep in thought they are often represented by colours, as you stated. Light is usually red, L is blue, Misa is a lighter blue, and Matsuda is yellow.

really? I thought the red represenred Kira and the Blue represented L


Q1: when Mikami commited suicide was it intentionally to allow his "God" to escape? Or did he simply go razy after realizing Kira was beaten?

Q2: when/where is Ls real name revealed? (Lawliet)

A1: I think the latter. Just to let him escape it would be enough to shout loudly or do something strange. His world collapsed and so he commited suicide.

A2: Never. It's going around but nobody has a proof of it.

BTW: Kira=red
L=blue, just like the one before ya mentioned

To answer about L's name, Lawliet is canon. It was revealed in the Death Note 13, which is like a guidebook for the series. Its also on a special card that comes with the book. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is correct.

Founded after World War II, Wammy's House began as a training facility for children with exceptional intelligence and skills. After the success of the detective L, the motive of the school was to raise children to be the successor to the original L.

What exactly happened to the idea of the Death Eraser?

The concept of the Death Eraser was discarded after the pilot. One of the rules states that once you have written a name in the death note, there is no way to stop the death(s) from occurring, even if you destroy the page.

This was most likely done so that the gravity of the story was left intact, though I wouldn't have complained if Shidoh had turned out to have one... that would have made things interesting...

I see...that's a real shame.
It would have been interesting to see L's confusion when people started returning to life just to get killed again.

Thanks

Nothing since that isn't His name.

[Tenken's Smile]

Does the Death Note have a rule for people who change their names? For example: an Asian who takes an American name, but is known to his family by his birth name?

How to Use: XXX

1. If you have traded the eye power of a god of death, you will see a person’s primary life span in the human world.

2. The names you will see with the eye power of a god of death are the names needed to kill that person. You will be able to see the names even if that person isn’t registered in the family registration.

http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/The_Rules_of_Death_Note

Now... this rule implies that the name you need in order to kill someone is not necessarily their legal name. If that is the case, then one could assume that the name that floats over people's heads is the name that they perceive themselves to have. This is supported by other rules:

How to Use: IX

1. The Death Note will not affect those under 780 days old.

Anyway, IF that is the case, then the answer is... maybe? It would depend upon the target's perception of himself/herself.

...

[Tenken's Smile]

2. The names you will see with the eye power of a god of death are the names needed to kill that person. You will be able to see the names even if that person isn’t registered in the family registration.

So it must be birth name.


QUESTION: In the end, why didn't Near arrest Misa?
