Rem warned Light not to hurt Misa or it would kill Light by writing his name
in it's Deathnote, but Ryuk had mentioned in the last episode as well as
before that either Ryuk would kill Light or that Light would die after living
his natural lifespan. As Ryuk has to kill him, was Rem's warning a bluff?

If so, couldn't Light, being a genius, see through his bluff??

question
death-note
Was Rem's warning fake?


Rem warned Light, but later Misa told Rem not to harm him, that she would
rather die first. So Rem, in order to preserve Misa's happiness,couldn't kill
him.

Light, being a genius, learned how to take advantage of the situation, and
used Rem on his plans, manipulating her like any other.

In [How to Read
XXXIV](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use%3a_XXXIV),
the third point reads,

> 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.

that means ryuk is the only on who could killed light yagami

Rem threatens Light by saying

> If you try to harm this girl, I will write your name in my note and kill
> you.

# Chapter 57

Six months after Rem threatens Light, the killing spree has begun again as
soon as Misa was released. Because of this L assumes correctly that Misa is
the second killer. Rem knows that if she doesn't take action Misa will be
killed soon and she also realizes that this is exactly what Light had planned.
Therefore she considers killing Light as she had stated six months earlier,
but by now she realizes she can't kill him. Her statement wasn't a bluff, she
just realizes that there would be no point on killing Light. On the contrary,
and I quote:

> With this, killing Yagami Light means nothing. Misa cannot be saved.. More
> than that, Misa will be lost as an ally and I will be driven more quickly
> into a corner... No. I already know that if Yagami Light dies, then Misa
> will lose all will to live. Yagami Light is already a human who is in many
> ways, necessary for Misa to continue living...

Rem had played her cards well, but Light played better. He had completely
manipulated the situation, resulting in the death of a Death God. If Rem
wanted to save Misa, she had to kill L and had to do so quickly. As much as
she might have hated Light, killing him would result in the complete opposite
of what she wanted and would make her death an utterly useless sacrifice.

There is a rule in How To Read 13 that states "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." This means that Rem could only kill Light if he was the owner her
second Death Note. It was either a bluff or a mistake. [Rule 34 item
3](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use:_XXXIV):

> 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.

After seeing no one answered what is clear to my eyes and is so simple, the
answer is so simple though no one here noticed ><

When you follow the events in the anime/manga, this isn't really a question:

1 - Rem **gives** Misa Geluss's Death Note.

2 - When Misa meeting Light, she's handing Light her Death Note - from now on
**Rem's Death Note is in Light's hands** , Misa never get her Death Note back
before being confined by L.

[![enter image description

3 - While being confined by L, Misa is forfeiting her Death Note that Light's
holds at the moment, making Light **the owner of the notebook**.

[![enter image description

4 - **Light is giving Rem's notebook** to give it to Ryuk and then burry it
for Misa, because that notebook was in use by Misa, so after Light's memories
back she would touch that Death Note and _her memories will return_.

[![enter image description

5 - After Higuchi's death, Light telling her to go dig the buried Death Note
so her memories will return. **Only now her original Death Note returns to her
possession**.

[![enter image description

Let's now review the threat from Rem to Light:

In ep14 when Light threaten Misa he will kill him she's telling him - "I won't
let you do it Yagami Light, _If you will kill this girl I will write your name
in the notebook and kill you._ I can see her lifespan. If she'll be killed
before her end I will think that you are the killer."

Now, as other specified there's this rule:

> 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.
>

From the look of the rule, the rules doesn't apply to other human but to other
shinigami that cannot kill, [check this
Q&A](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/14497/is-ryuk-the-only-one-who-
can-kill-light) that [kaine](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/3561/kaine)
proved that other human _can_ kill other Death Note holder though other
shinigami cannot kill them.

What that has to do with here? Well, as I explained Misa borrowed Light the
Death Note that Rem _gave_ to her, Rem clearly specified that if she'll be
dead before her lifespan will be over - she'll kill Light, **as Light is now
the holder of the Death Note he will be the owner of it after killing Misa**
and since the Death Note used to be Rem's notebook she'll have the same power
as Ryuk has to kill him since she passed the Death Note to Missa, though Rem
didn't gave it to Light since Missa only borrowed it to him it's still
considered Rem's old Death Note and to her to kill him. So the answer is clear
**that her threat was real** and the things really simple and clear.

Though you could go and say it isn't true since in the end Rem hasn't gave it
to him, though to be foolish claim, the evidence for that is the need for
Light **to give Rem the Death Note when forfeiting it** because she also needs
to follow Light for using the Death Note, her former ownership of the Death
Note didn't stopped when Missa borrowed it to Light 'till he forfeited it.

As for other places as mentioned in this Q&A, Rem could kill Light after he
killed higuchi since Rem gave Higuchi Ryuk's former Death Note since **she's
the shinigami of that Death Note now** , now Light is again own Rem's Death
Note she's able to kill him since he gained ownership of the notebook after
holding it while killing Higuchi so Light considered the ownership of that
notebook.
