For anyone that doesn’t know about Death Note it’s a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone’s name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

    Question, do you have to write a person’s legal name or do you think it’ll understand “Crypto Hitler”?

      You have to use the target’s real name. This is why Light couldn’t just kill “L”, being known only by a pseudonym kept him safe.

      Per the rules as written I’m going to say no. A person would have to go by a written name at the very least.

      Has to be their real name. In the case of those who had their names legally changed that’s something I’m not sure if the rules addressed.
