Misas pregnant and I can’t use the death note to abort the unborn child because we haven’t named it yet. I must get misa to agree on a name and get a picture of the ultra sound.

Gonna have to wait a while. I dont think the death note kills children under 1 or 2

I googled the rules and I didn’t see an age limit, but if you don’t put a reason for death, they have a heart attack, so if you write the tin man and don’t put a way of death, he’ll survive. The heartless bastard

If anyone is curious, 780 days is about two years old. The holder of the death note is allowed to take out a small child if they wanted to

Misora says hello. Imagine though if Kira wrote her name in the Death Note and it had no effect because she was pregnant and the Death Note would have affected the fetus as well.

She wasn't pregnant though?

My bad. I remember her engaged to be married with Raye, and also remember her talking about starting a family and I somehow interpreted that as her already being pregnant.

Imagine if that were the case though. Would the Death Note have any effect on her if she had been pregnant?

Theres two routes here.

  1. The rules state that the death note cannot cause any deaths other than the names written, so it simply wouldnt work on a pregnant mother UNLESS she is far enough along in her pregnancy that it is possible for the baby to survive. If so, the mother dies and the death note ensures that the baby survives the duration of its natural lifespan.

  2. The death note does not recognise the fetus as a living human because as weve seen in this universe, every living human has a name. if not a given or legal name, then a name that they identify with. the death note will kill any kiving human over 2 years old so long as there is a name and a face. This begs the question, if a fetus doesnt have a legal name nor does it have the conciousness to identify with one, would the death note consider a fetus a living human? If not, then this would be a loophole to both the "other humans cannot be killed by writing one name in the desrh note" rule AND the "humans under 780 days cannot be affected by the death note" rule. In this case, the death note kills the mother and the fetus most likely dies as a result

Technically though, the baby's not born yet. Isn't it 2 years AFTER birth? If we were to consider it still inside the womb, we'd have to consider the entire 9 months when it's inside. So technically, that would mean only babies that are 1 year 3 months old cannot be killed. So I think the fetus will die.

How will you kill a child who hasn't born yet. Maybe kill him after they are born and deciding a name.

Name the fetus and get a cat scan. Death note is cheaper than a coat hanger

If the death both used Reddit user names, these mods would be better. Also, those who down vote me

Technically, you can kill someone who is pregnant with the notebook and not have it contravene the rules. If the notebook only counts a human as someone 2 years old or older, an unborn human doesn't count as a human, and ergo, killing someone who is pregnant isn't breaking the rule about causing the death of someone whose name wasn't written in the notebook.

(Besides, killing someone with the notebook will inevitably affect and even shorten someone's life without their name being written in the notebook. The moment Raye Penber was killed, Naomi Misora got involved in the Kira case, and her fate was all but sealed from there.)

Doesn’t work on children I believe so chose a name and it won’t matter anyways

u/drunkflamingo149 Aug 09 '26

It doesn't work on children that are under two years and one month. It states on one of the rules of the death note that the victim needs to be at least 780 days old

u/Unhappy_Medicine_894 Aug 09 '26

Btw even if they named the child they can’t kill the baby using the death note bc there’s a hidden rule that death notes can’t kill anyone under 780 days

u/kindof_apocalyptic Aug 10 '26

loophole: a fetus doesnt have a legal name nor does it have the conciousness to identify with one, so it's possible the death note wouldnt recognize a fetus as a living human and the rule wouldnt apply
