If I write: John Zeürtö kills himself by writing his name in the Death Note.
Would he do so? (In this example, John also owns a Death Note)

Can you manipulate someone with the Death Note, so that the person kills himself with the Death Note?


## Can you manipulate someone with the Death Note, so that the person writes
his own name in the Death Note?

Yes, you could and that person will do so if he is physically capable of
writing a name in a Death Note, but it wouldn't really matter what kind of
notebook it would be. Nothing would really happen when he writes his own name,
because of [How to Use:

## Can you manipulate John Zeürtö to kill himself by writing his name in the
Death Note, by using a Death Note?

No you can't. If you do so, his name would already have been written in the
Death Note, so any further name writing, would have no effect, as mentioned
earlier. Therefore he wouldn't be able to kill himself. This would lead to
[How to Use:
VI](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use:_VI)
and he would die of a heart attack, since no other cause was specified.
