There are so many people who would not be missed, tra-la.

It would still be murder, though.

I love that even Ryuk is like, "WHAT? You've already filled out six pages??? I ONLY JUST GOT HERE."

I'm not gonna lie, I'd have writer's cramp.

I'd be writing as small as I could with the finest point pen I could find, and I'd ask Ryuk if I could abbreviate 'autoerotic asphyxiation'.

One gap was no one exploring what "name" meant and whether it could be changed.

Amateur radio call signs are supposed to be globally unique (although they may be re-used eventually). But I don't know any expendable hams I'd test that on.

How about Todd the Beacon? I don't think he'd be missed.

They'd none of them be missed, they'd NONE of them be missed!

The rules did establish that you had to use the person's real name, by which the author apparently meant their legal name, or something to that effect. Obvious pseudonyms such as "L" are useless as far as the Death Note is concerned, much to Light Yagami's frustration.

But could you change your legal name, from something public to something less so? That was never touched on.
