Never seen Death Note, but get the concept. Does the notebook honor name changes or would you now have two names that could be used to kill you?
Given everyone called L just L but it didn't work it clearly isn't nicknames, and in one of the extracanon works it was made clear someone who started a new life wasn't recognized by their old name in the note, so changing a legal name could probably do it.
GarbageShoot semi-answers this elsewhere in the thread. The mechanics arent 100% clear so some guesswork is necessary. The tumblr post assumed it operates on legal name, but GarbageShoot pointed out that isnt necissarily the case.
I doubt the gods of death care for bureaucracy, so a name on court documents won’t really matter. If you change your name from John to Eric, but everyone still calls you John and you never correct them and you enter your preferred name as John, then cosmically you are still John.
I can’t say for sure about death note but I feel like gods of death in general quite like bureaucracy
cca did you know?
