Can the owner of Death Note be killed if another random person knows their
face and name, writes the owners name in the owner's own Death Note? with a
sheet torn out from it?

Can a Death Note Owner be killed with their own Death Note?


There is no rule currently known which prevents any person from killing the
owner of a death note under normal circumstances.

The only reasons a death note will not work on a person assuming that the
victims name and face are known are:

>   * the victim is very young
>   * the victim is very old (124 years old or older)
>   * the victim is already about to die in the next few seconds
>   * someone already misspelled the victims name too many times
>   * the victim's name was written in a second death note simultaneously
> (victim still will die)
>   * the victim's name was already written in any death note in a valid way
> (time of death before end of natural life span).
>

(Please edit if I missed any.)

I almost always have to note on these questions that the rules available to us
about the Death Note are not complete. In fact, the rules themselves state
that even the shinigami do not know all of the rules about how a death note
works.

On the Death Note wiki under
[Rules](https://deathnote.fandom.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note/How_to_Read_Rules)
it states

"An individual with Shinigami Eyes can see the name and lifespan of another
human by looking at that person's face. By gaining ownership of a Death Note,
an individual not only gains the ability to kill but also cannot be killed by
a Death Note. From this point on, a person with a Death Note cannot see the
life span of other Death Note owners, including him- or herself."

which I think means that no, you cannot kill a Death Note owner at all (using
a Death Note, that is. You can probably still kill them the conventional way).
