After discussing the matter of whether the Death Note will ever run out of pagesthe Death Note will ever run out of pages, it appears to me that there is another unclear matter, which is whether the page itself can ever run out?
You can easily take a page, use an erasable pen and write carefully, then when filled, erase the entire writing without damaging the page. You will always be able to kill other people using that same page. I have the following sub-questions:
- Is this even possible, that is, can you kill people after writing on an erased page?
- When do we say that the Death Note has run out? See the picture below1, which says that when you run out of room to write, you can ask your Shinigami to bring you another Death Note.
- If I fill my note, ask the Shinigami for another one, then erase what was written on my first note, will I have made two Death Notes for myself?
- If the above is true, and since the rules imply that no more than six Death Notes can be brought to the human world, why didn't Yagami Light do that to get six Death Notes, ensuring that no one else gets a Death Note?
- How does the Shinigami tell that the Note is filled or not? Does he just look at the pages and see whether they are written or not?
