In the first episode of Death Parade, after the first game, the woman's soul
is voided, and the man gets reincarnated.

During the darts game, the woman tells the man that she is pregnant. Does this
mean that the baby's soul is also voided? This would be weird knowing that the
baby probably was reincarnated not so long ago and had no impact on what his
or her mother would do.

What happens to the pregnant woman's baby in the first episode of Death Parade?


I imagine that in the Death Parade universe this happens often enough to have
a specific arbiter rule about it. Any details of such a rule haven't been
revealed yet however.

It is the woman and the man's souls that are being judged in that trial, so I
presume the baby either

  * Has a separate case for review, possibly not present in the woman's body in body/soul during the woman's trial
  * Is not eligible for trial due to not having enough life experience.

The Rebirth/Void concept that Death Parade uses is based on Buddhist concepts,
which means that an opinion-based answer could be highly debatable as it would
be based on theological concepts such as the possibility of humans being born
malicious, or becoming malicious through life's influence.
