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 ?
This is the best one, IMHO. I’d want to make it painful.

I’m going back to the like 1780s and going full John Brown.
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…
If I recall correctly the neanderthals were a separate branch from homo erectus and mostly not our direct ancestors.
Christopher Columbus never meets Queen Isabella.
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.
Orson Scott Card did something along these lines in the book Pastwatch.
Adam and Eve
Not good enough. I’m killing LUCA.
Take my upvote .
His whole bloodline. I’d do the research, and make sure I get his family tree.
No names required
Ooh, looks like Emperor Constantine was just smote by a thunderbolt from a clear blue sky in full view of the entire senate.
Maybe we won’t be spreading that cult he liked around, seems like it pissed off Jupiter something fierce.
Same idea, except I’m going all the way back for ol’ Abe. And I don’t mean Lincoln. Important clarification nowadays.
Lincoln murdered more native Americans than any other president in history
I don’t think that’s true. I doubt his numbers match Andrew Jackson’s.
I was wrong and you are right. Thank you friend.
Regardless, killing Lincoln prematurely has already been done.
John Wilkes Booth had the death note, but forgot his pen.
True
No one.
Congratulations. You do not become a shinigami.
Find Trump’s and every other major Nazis great great grandparents
Probably not an outcome I would want for the world but out of scientific curiosity I would be interested in what happens if Ögedei Khan dies of old age instead of drinking himself to death in December 1241, just before his army has the chance to completely steamroll Europe. That might be one of the most extreme butterfly effects in history.
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&?
Having police vans show up at your door. Getting arrested.
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?
That’s just the backup
I’m in 1820 with all my knowledge of the future.
I don’t need the Death Note.
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?
alexander the great, indirectly probably kills just about every western despot after him and we’d all be speaking mongolian probably
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.
Tbf Alexander already died at a pretty young age, he was only in his 30s afaik.
Been a long time since I’ve seen the anime…but can’t you schedule deaths for in the future?
The Death Note can only operate within a 23-day window (in the human calendar). This is called the 23-Day rule.
Neat.
