If Ryuk could see Light's lifespan...

[Persistence_of_Memory]

If Ryuk could see Lights lifespan, wouldn't that mean that he would know when the whole thing would end? I mean...I don't think he knew precisely how it would end until he was standing in that warehouse. But he knew how long the whole Kira thing would last, and he knew that Light would eventually lose.

Actually, Shinigami know your actual natural lifespan; when you would die of natural causes. When they write your name in their book, they kill you prematurely and take the rest of what would have been your life span and lengthen theirs with it.  

[TaiyoukaiLord]

I think in the beginning, Light had a 2 for his lifespan. But thing is... Getting killed by a shinigami isn't natural, so he probably would have died after the day Ryuk killed him. Aww... I feel bad that he died! crying

Well, what about that girl who was almost stabbed? (The one who was saved by that random shinigami who Rem watched die.) Her lifespan showed the day she was going to be stabbed, not her natural lifespan.

In the beginning, it didn't show you his lifespan. It did, but it was in shinigami time... @_@
And back to the girl who was almost stabbed...she aparently lived a normal life after that random shinigami killed the stalker. Who's to say Light wouldn't have lived too?
I don't feel bad that he died...he deserved what he got.

Ooooh...
Yeah, I had to go back and look at it. They never show her face but it would make sense for her to be Misa, wouldn't it?
Jeez...something about Misa is attractive to shinigami. O_o

No, I think he deserved what he got.
He chose to write the names in the first place. He wanted to play god.
He doesn't get any pity from me at all.

Of course it was Misa. She had a crazy fan who was obsessed with her a and tried to kill her and then Jealous(the other shinigami) saved her, died, and left the Death Note to Rem, who told her later.

Natural causes means anything you were destined to have died of. Misa was supposed to be murdered by that guy.

I believe that 'Natural Lifespan' means 'Without Shinigami Intervention'?

Edit - Kasumi Ocada has pretty much said this.

So...
Misa Amane's lifespan would have shown the exact moment she died from the attack, but because Jealous intervened, her Death was Postponed. Her lifespan, as a result, would have been longer.

Light would have died soon after that whole scene - Everyone knew he was Kira, and so a Human would have killed him, assuming that he would have survived the loss of blood...

I took "natural lifespan" to mean something along the lines of "death by natural causes." I don't count being stabbed as natural causes, since that would be ruled a homicide. I included being killed by a shinigami in that category...

Well yeah he would have died even without Ryuk striking the final blow. He lost a lot of blood.

Yea, he did deserve to die. He was a psychopath. If he got his way then he would be the only person in the world alive.
