Except he never put himself in a situation where would be impossible for him to fulfill the conditions. In fact, once his name was written, it because impossible for him to actually put himself in such a position, as he was already being controlled by the Death Note.
The Death Note might not be a toy, but it can be abused. That is kinda the whole point, the whole thing is about playing around with the rules and loopholes. Yeah, it will catch up to you eventually, but L will die at the end of the time period, so that is already bound to happen anyway.
Anyway, not a fan of the minisode. I didn't like the Death Note worked but not killed Cell. The point of the Death Note is that it kills whoever names is written in it. Its power is to kill, not to cause heart attacks.That is why the heart attack is always fatal in the series, because the "fatal" part is the actually power of the note. Either it should have killed him or have no effect at all. The middle ground doesn't make much sense.

Actually, Saiga has a point.
It's also a rule that if you are unable to die in the way it's written in (if it becomes a physical impossibility, then you just default to heart attack. You can't just jump into any situation where you would die and survive because you have to die in the allotted time. You're gonna die, but the Death Note won't let you do any bullshit during that time. If you try and use it to pull off an upside down straight jacket escape trick or something, expect to just have a heart attack in the middle of it.
It occurs to me...Light probably didn't know Cell could fly into space. He defaulted to the Heart Attack because, as far as he's aware, it's 100% effective. Remember, he's experimented with the book to learn everything possible about the rules and how much he can stretch them (that incident on the bus). But no one in their right mind would try and tell someone to fly into the sun, so of course he just went to the heart attack.
He failed because of common sense when you think about it.
Edit:
Oh. If that's the case, then I stand correct. That makes sense.

One Strip! One Strip!Basically, Human/Ningen is the word for all non-godly beings in Dragon Ball, while Humans from Earth are specified as 'Earthlings'. The dub is almost certainly going to translate Ningen as Mortal, though, because aliens being referred to as Human is stupid, since Human is synonymous with Homo Sapien, which is specifically our species.
Stupid to anglophones maybe.
x4 I didn't say he did put himself into situations where he could no longer fulfill the conditions. I said if he put himself in a situation that would lead to that, the note would stop him by killing him first. Not by changing circumstances to making him effectively invincible. The Death Note only 'changes fate' in the sense that it can control the victim's actions to make them do things that are physically possible. Maybe it's just Tobias' description of the movie that is wrong but the Death Note definitely does not manipulate events around someone to protect them or allow them to act like an invincible hero.]]

Sometimes the word "person" is used to mean "human" in Japanese too. They're more nebulous and less strict about it than English is.
Obviously for the most part things like that things don't matter, but I do remember seeing one example of it sticking out. Anyway, "mortal" is totally legit translation of "ningen", it's just much less common, because obviously it is.
First, it is Homo sapiens. Italics, first word starting with uppercase and second word starting with lowercase, and spelt "sapiens". If you want to be pedantic, at least bother to get your stuff right. And I doubt you'd call Homo erectus not human.
Joke was near, anything that gives Light some humble pie always feels good.
Is... is everyone spoiler-tagging things about Death Note, an anime and manga from 2006 and 2003 respectively?
They're one of the few animes that are fairly cheap to produce but still maintain a compelling, quirky cast of characters. Batman also has more films than any other DC character because he's one of the few who can be portrayed without extensive amounts of CGI, and whose story is the most relatable.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!![]()
Because the prescience of italics is really important to nitpick in casual conversation. Nitpicking which word to capitalize is pretty petty too. The lack of 's' at the end is an honest mistake, I forgot that species don't use plurality.
I'm not saying that I'm not wrong, I'm just saying that nitpicking that much and that aggressively was entirely unnecessary.

As nitpicking as enforcing proper grammar, context nonwithstanding.
(But yeah, on second read, I came as a bit of an ass)

Because in the pas, there was one computer chip at the cemetary of the universe where the abundoned spaceship and artificial satellite float. Through his knowledge of a long period of de time, he duplicated himself. It obserb everyting in the universe, and ran on growing up using that energy. The huge machine star which became eble to eat even a planet now is The Big Cataster. And my brain which arrive, at this star fortunately, unified to the main computa! And I controlled dis stars. My body, which I almost loss, was reborn… as Metal Kurara!

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Krillin is part of TFS's Cell.
So Cell is some percentage human being.
...Also, Zamasu rants and raves about "ningen" to refer a group of beings which includes Saiyans, who are seemingly not members of the species Homo sapiens, so.

It's going to be a series on Netflix. Zac Efron could never get the Hollywood Death Note film out of Development Hell.
If you want a live action Death Note, I'd say watch the 2015 drama. I rather enjoyed it.
The US made series- along with the LA Sword Art Online movie- can only end in disaster.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!to get back to the deathnote argument briefly
I thought that it wasnt that the note made you immortal until your time of death comes
just that if you write 'your own death will happen in 23 days' (the maximum amount of days a deathnote can give you) you can no longer change the date (but you can change the conditions and settings of your death) with that note or any other deathnote

yeah, that's ridiculous.
What should really happen is that the minute he puts himself in a situation where he would render himself unable to fulfill the conditions of the note, he has a heart attack and dies.
The Death Note is not a toy and using it that way runs contrary to the point of the series.
