How to Use: XLII (from Volume 08):
- The use of the DEATH NOTE in the human world sometimes affects other human’s lives or shortens their original life-span, even though their names are not actually written in the DEATH NOTE itself. In these cases, no matter the cause, the god of death sees only the original life-span and not the shortened life-span.
With this, I would say Soichiro had some time to live still, but the use of the death note made his death unnatural.
