I just noticed something. So in death note the last name, L got the death
note, after he watched Misa killing criminals with the death note. He then
replaced her death note with a fake one. But here's the problem. L said, that
they made fake news that the criminals Misa ''killed'' died, but Misa
should've seen that they were still alive, because a rule in the death note
states, that a person who's dead, doesn't have a name or a lifespan above
their head in a picture.

Rule XXXIX:

Humans that have traded for the eye power of a god of death cannot see the
name or life span of humans who have already passed away by looking at their
photos.

death-note
A plothole in Death Note The Last Name?


Fake doesn't necessarily mean not convincing. Remember, by this time L knew
that there were more than one and that the second had an ability that the
first did not have. L knew this and arranged the fake information but also
used dead bodies. He even went to the trouble to find people with the same
name. L actually uses that same tactic twice in the series.

Spoiler alert:

> Something similar happens in the Death Note 2015 series.

The explanation there might help answer your question. Elaboration:

> Mikami also fell for fake news. Misa didn't check the faces likely. She just
> read the news that this or that person died.

Been a while since I've seen the movies. I'm guessing based on the above.
