* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: The exact details of each step of Minoru's plan are not revealed until the step happens, so the reader learns about them at about the same time as the detectives who are looking for him, to reinforce the sense of his scheme being too tightly planned for him to ever be caught. The big exception is [[spoiler:the final step, when he gives up the Death Note and tells Ryuk he never wants to see him again so Minoru can live happily ever after. This is the part of his plan that goes wrong, as Ryuk honors Minoru's wishes and doesn't tell him about the rule change.]]
