Death Force is a status found exclusively in Final Fantasy VII, granted by the Death Force spell. There is no visual indicator that the status is in effect, but it gives protection from Death until the end of battle; in the Battle Square, it lasts all throughout the rounds until the player wins or loses the gauntlet.
Despite Death Force being an enemy ability, the lone enemy that casts Death Force never uses it in battle, thus the status never afflicts enemies unless Death Force is deliberately placed on an enemy by the player. Manhole is the only enemy immune to Death Force.
If Death-sentence is cast upon a unit with the Death Force status, the timer will count down, but when it reaches zero, nothing will occur since the Death-sentence status chains into the Death status, which the unit is protected against. Death Force does not protect the player against the Death Joker Limit Break. Death Force is removed by DeSpell or White Wind.
