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.

Except for the names he spelled wrong. Some unrelated people will die.

Not if they’re picturing the correct person. Writing the wrong name but picturing the correct person will result in no death so as to keep the innocent or same-name people alive. It’s in the rules.

Makes me wonder what would happen with JD Vance, actually. His last name has changed a couple of times, which of his names is the "real" one?

Think you need to have the person face in your mind when writing it so even if people share the name only the one you think about would die.

I see someone read the rules correctly!
