This confuses me, because Light was able to kill Jack Neylon and Higuchi
(although he wrote Higuchi's name on a paper from his notebook, so that maybe
explains how he could have killed him). So, what does this rule exactly mean?
Does this rule mean that if I write Light Yagami's name in a Death Note, he
wouldn't die, since only Ryuk can kill him?

question
death-note
Is Ryuk the only one who can kill Light?


How to use XXXIV

  1. The owner of the Death Note cannot be killed by a god of death who is living in the world of the gods of death.
  2. Also, a god of death who comes to the human world, in the objective to kill the owner of the Death Note, will not be able to do so.
  3. Only a god of death that has passed on their Death Note to a human is able to kill the owner of the Death Note.

As the rules are grouped together, it seems they are related. In context, they
imply that gods of death cannot kill Death Note owners with the exception of
the original owner. Keep in mind that the rules seem to be a collection of
observations; not the "programming language" of the Death Note. This means
some wording may not be perfect. In practice, Light was able to kill Death
Note owners whose original owners were not shown to also write down their
names.

Also, note that everyone already has an expiration date so they are never
immortal from non-Death Note related deaths.

That being said, that interpretation sounds as if an owner who found Misa's
old notebook after the Shinigami was dead would effectively be immortal or at
least immune to all Death Note users. This seems unlikely.
