Thus the jutsu can become a failure, and regardless of this, the user's soul will still be consumed by the Death Angel and he dies. The effectiveness of the jutsu is only as good as the current amount of chakra, strength, and will-power of the user, and this determines how much of the target's soul can be extracted out of his body. When this happens, that part is devoured by the Death angel and the corresponding part of the target's body "dies off", rendering it unusable, the "dead" part also continues to rot which causes immense pain to the victim eventually leading to death. The Death angel can optionally sever any part of the target's soul using his long blade at the user's bidding. Furthermore, the target is now able to see the Death Anel himself.
At this stage, the target is most likely unable to move or perform any sort of jutsu, though there are few exceptions (like Orochimaru's ability to mentally control Kusanagi). The arm then grasps the soul of the target and starts pulling it off from the body. Once the user invokes upon the Death Angel, the Death Angel reaches its arm out as it passes through the user's soul and emerges in front of the user's chest. The user must then be in close proximity with the target and grasp him to begin the extraction of the target's soul. As the Death Angel appears, the user's soul "materializes" in front of him and is readily entangled with some of the Death Angel's long hair. After performing the hand seals, a Death Angel "materializes" and hovers behind the user who (being the one who made a contract with the Death Angel) is the only one capable of seeing him at the meantime.
However, such a powerful technique comes with a great sacrifice, as the user will die performing it.
