The Death Note lets you kill anyone by writing their real name in the notebook, although you must know their face.
I have a special and unique hatred for Diego de Landa, burner of the Mayan books. I would remove him and as many of his associates as possible from history.
That’s a great pick, damn ! fuck that Diego guy
Can I throw in Vespucci and/or Colombus as well ?
the Mayan curse cosplay
This is the best one, IMHO. I’d want to make it painful.
Churchill, Gandhi, Hitler, Mountbatten off the top of my head.
Seriously Ghandi before Hitler? I mean he was no saint, but he was a long way from being in the same ballpark as Hitler.
To each their own.
Not 150 years ago.
But all the people I want to kill is alive now, that is unfair.
Their ancestors
I know, but that is not as rewarding as seeing them trip down a set of stairs on live tv or having one of their stunts go horribly wrong.
That list would be too obvious to be fun, and would probably get us all v&.
It’s more fun to see people have beef with random obscure historical figures.
v&?
Im just going to go back to the 90’s and get a job in tech. I would not do something evil like have somone choke on a big mac.
I’m going back in time and killing both my parents so we can see what happens to me.
Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace were on the verge of inventing computers back in the 1820s.
I’d like to see what happens when I get them to suceed.
How do you suppose to achieve this with a Death Note?
I’m in 1820 with all my knowledge of the future.
I don’t need the Death Note.
That’s just the backup
Not OP, but you can control people before their death, so… Probably write other people around them and force them to help before their suicides?
I’m going back to the like 1780s and going full John Brown.
The Beatles…so i could write their songs now and be a sort-of-working pub musician with a catalog of songs nobody gets.
They’re old, but not that old.
You’ll be dodging all the other time travelers trying to erase Yellow Submarine.
Quick, find Donald Trump’s family tree and start pruning the old branches
Could do the same with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and other dictators. Juist kill one person in each one family tree and see how it works out.
Just start with or before the Neanderthals…
Christopher Columbus never meets Queen Isabella.
Orson Scott Card did something along these lines in the book Pastwatch.
Earthdivers is a graphic novel. In the future, a group of Native Americans discover time travel and decide to use it to fix the mistakes of the past. First problem is Columbus.
No one.
Congratulations. You do not become a shinigami.
Adam and Eve
Not good enough. I’m killing LUCA.
Take my upvote .
Find Trump’s and every other major Nazis great great grandparents
alexander the great, indirectly probably kills just about every western despot after him and we’d all be speaking mongolian probably
Tbf Alexander already died at a pretty young age, he was only in his 30s afaik.
I doubt it. No one speaks Latin now.
alexander dies christianity and the roman model never spread across europe, all of christiandom dies in it’s crib (note, havent actually looked at the history of this all that closely).
catholism never takes off and we don’t have the HRE or any of it’s bastard children. no german empire, no french, no english, no protestants spreading to the new world etc.
