In a Madman Newsletter talking about the release of _Death Note: Light up the
NEW World_ in the cinemas it says

> In 2016, society is afflicted with cyber-terrorism. The Death Note is a
> supernatural notebook that grants its user the power to kill simply by
> writing a person’s name on its pages. **Six different Death Notes fall to
> the human world, the maximum number of notes that can exist at once.**

Now I don't recall it ever being said in the anime that there was a limit to
the number of Death Notes, however since the new movie is set after _Death
Note 2: The Last Name_ and it's incompatible with the anime/manga because

> L takes his own life to expose Light as Kira by writing his own name in the
> Death Note

I am wondering if there were any new or conflicting rules to the Death Note in
the Live Action Movies compared to the Anime/Manga.

death-note
Are there any new/conflicting rules in the Death Note Movies?


In the last few episodes, one of the rules does actually say that if the
number of death notes in the human world exceeds 6, the 7th note will have no
effect until one of the other notes is destroyed or returned to the shinigami
world.
