| Someone send this Kurokami bitch to the void-thing. |
| Oh so goodddd :D So I take it that Shimada died from his wounds during the stabbing. Kurokami might just give Decim life :D |
 |
| Did they both go to the void? They only showed the evil mask at the end. |
| Holy crap ... what an intense episode. This show is so freaking good! So both character exacted their revenge already ... except Tatsumi goes on to keep "judging" people (reminds me of Light much?) while Shimada managed to avenge his sister after all ... then kills Tatsumi when he goes in to kill that guy! I'm guessing he also died from his fight with the guy ... dang, that's crazy. Then not to mention Tatsumi watching Sae get assaulted and doing nothing because there had to be a "victim" ... ohhh man. THEN Assistant girl interfered with the thing which IMO she should NOT have done. YES okay she got to yell at Decim about how he doesn't understand humans and stuff but even so, I feel like she totally messed up the scene :( Tries to stop Shimada from stabbing the pucks, but eventually he did it ... I'm kinda glad XD Since I think he was gonna do that before she intervened anyway. Plus interesting how Tatsumi doesn't mind seeing himself as a "sacrifice". Implied that they both got sent to the void ... well, balances out that earlier episode where they were both reincarnated eh? Ah well, next episode looks like get MORE NONA!!! ;D Also maybe a quick breather episode ... well, we'll see! :P |
| They never showed how the kid died, and aren't they both supposed to die at the same time? Am I the only one that caught that? |

| Fantastic episode, one of the best...I had chills the entire time. That ending... My jaw dropped when it turned out Shimada killed the Mr. Tatsumi...was not expecting that. Why must there only be 3 more episodes...I want more :'( |
| That was sad. Dem feels. So Tatsumi was about to kill the perpetrator when Shimada, who thought the detective was accomplice, killed him. Shimada learned that Tatsumi actually witnessed his sister's rape but didn't help her, because he cares more about killing the perpetrator instead. Tatsumi's cruel words led Shimada to give into his anger. Onna's objection to Decim's means was touching. She tried her best to stop Shimada from doing something wrong again, but he was too swayed by Tatsumi and in the end it was suggested that both of them were sent to the void. What an intense episode. Only 3 episodes left. Time really flies so fast. |

| SHIT SHIT, this episode blowing my mind! i can't describe my feelings~ *best episode yet* |
| Absolutely stunning episode. Reminded me a lot of Parasyte episode 12, looks like Madhouse likes playing the ending song when the episode is at its conclusion. Seems as if most theorists failed to predict the outcome. The detective had that god complex going on, which was understandable, i don't know how i'd change if i went through what he or Shimada did. But seriously, even Decim showed surprise, and was clutching at his heart. I assume that was his human part that was aching? As expect of Onna, she's the voice of reason and peaceful methods, i don't see how she isn't meant for reincarnation. However, the fact that she failed to stop Shimada from hurting the detective (who was pretty much corrupting him, in the end) made the whole thing even better. I got the chills when he thrusted the knife through those discs with all his anger. And at the end... he actually had the same smile. The detective damned him as well. 6/5, this was just too much, Madhouse. |

| Best episode of Death Parade. Apart from the whole twists, revelations and the really dramatic events taking place, I particularly liked they finally highlighted how this judging system is messed up. Pushing people to a corner to then determine whether they're good or bad just doesn't make sense. Also, props to the detective's voice actor. His voice perfectly transitioned from a composed tone to a psychotic one. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Gotta say that this 2-part arc was the best yet. It really had me emotionally engaged with the characters and their pasts. Good reveal of what happened along with the ED music too. |
| I felt like that went unresolved at the end without showing how the kid died and which elevator they got on..But I loved the two arc, intense story. |

The kids died of blood loss when he got stabbed by that stalker guy. It could've been shown clearer. At the end we see that mask indicating that they both got sent to the void. |
 |
| Best fucking episode. Did I tear up a bit? Yes, yes I did. Props to Fujiwara Keiji, the VA for Tatsumi. Excellent work. |

vasplar said: Nothing257 said: i couldn't agree moreBoring, Dull and Disappointing are the three words i associate with this episode. I just don't understand how it is possible to think that. This episode is japanime at its finest. Dark, deep, thrilling, ruthless, non manichean. It matches (and even surpasses sometimes) the level of writing of some of the best tv shows. So no, this is not NON STOP ACTION BOOM BOOM, but the tension is palpable throughout the entire episode. Seriously, if people don't realise how marvelous this episode is on every single aspect, then I seriously don't understand what they are looking for. We NEED more Death Parade. |
| This is the shit we want! Freakin' intense and dramatic! So Tatsumi's and Shimada's stories are intertwined, as predicted. Shimada freakin' killed Tatsumi because Tatsumi didn't save Shimada's sister. But damn, Onna stood up for humans. And by doing that, she unlocked Decim's emotions. When the ED played and Shimada broke the pucks, that gave me goosebumps. Seems like they both went to the void though. Oh well. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
vasplar said: Nothing257 said: i couldn't agree moreBoring, Dull and Disappointing are the three words i associate with this episode. Finally people with common sense, all these people praising it haven't watched many anime or manga. This might as well have been a Naruto ep. The old guy felt like a typical shounen villain with the motives, flashback and speeches. The young guy was a typical revenge guy with no brains. Plot twist is the world is twisted and cruel aka Obito level writing. And the slow pace, it could have been done in 1 ep actually but whatever. The best part was the air hockey, should have made this anime into a sports one instead. |
 |
| Decim's shocked face when the girl was talking to her almost brought me to tears. I liked how the last play of the air hockey game was so intense, though it kinda didn't need to be. I'm really starting to get attached to this series, I just don't want it to end. Overall, very heartfelt episode!! I liked it a lot. |

Haven't really seen naruto to judge.[you just compared an over 200 ep anime to a merely 12 one.] this one for its story, duration and animation it is very good. to me it made the story believable. it's exciting!! the thing that bothers me is that the story appears a bit spineless. Although it gives great emphasis on the characters, the background is..blurry(?) [the old bud dude, the creator, so on] it's an ambitious project I' d say. it may not become a classic. but time will show. |
| These last two episodes were definitely some of my favorites. I really enjoyed how dark they were and how they commented on the darkness within people. The final scene, when the ED started playing, gave me chills. I actually started tearing up. I really love how this show highlights human emotion--both the happy, good emotions, and the gruesome, ugly emotions. Really liking where the series is headed! |
| What a warm and sad episode. Onna has to be judged as well, her time is running out..Decim slowly learns more about human feelings. And Oculus is planning something, I hope it's nothing bad. |
 |
| Finally forced myself to watch this series. Damm this episode was epic |

| Brutal. I loved it. |
| I agree in the "intense" department that everyone is commenting on, whereas with the story of both characters and Onna's interruptions? Not as much into as many of others are. Arbiters are kind of flawed in the sense that sure, they are dummies and make decisions on the negative emotions when humans are at the edge. But that is the problem, ANYONE would be fucking insane and downright psycho if pushed to edge. Don't tell me shit like, oh pure hearted people and whatnot; human nature is selfish, and sure some might be the angels we all picture being sent to reincarnation and whatnot, but they are less than 50% of the human race, might even say less than 30%. With that, yeah, we pretty much need emotionless beings to make judgments to avoid even the slightest bit of bias; not saying heartless, 'cause thats a different thing. That is why Onna's interruption annoyed me so much in this episode; I mean, sure, Koodos for trying to be the reasoning voice and try and "save" someone, but she pretty much broke a lot of "rules" and just downright judged with human bias. Either ways, even with the play of the evil voice, Tatsumi, and the voice of reasoning, it all comes down to the fact that Shimada chose to go with the evil voice instead. ON THE OTHER HAND, YES, im totally biased in the way that I felt heart-crushed seeing Decim being so shocked. It's ok! Dont be so hard on yourself! |

It's just that this ep. was a disappointment considering how good the last ep. was set up. The reasoning felt so cheesy (in a villain sense) and one dimensional and everything was predictable. |
|
| Kick ass episode. Didn't expect the very ending outcome. I'm really impressed that they decided to go all the way with this instead of going back to the cliche "i'm a good guy in the end!" |
| no matter how freaking stoopid this is, it's always interesting to watch mane wtf If there's anything Death Parade's good for, it's watching humans display a gamut of emotions in such of the trickiest situations. AND animation, it goes without saying. That shit was MAD GREAT. |
| I was almost right. Who killed the kid though? Or did he just die from blood loss? Intense episode. That detective sure was a piece of work. |
  |
| Oh my lord that ending scene transitioning with the credits song was pure bad ass. 10/10 episode. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| so in the end the brother became like the detective? that creepy smile he had after stabbing the plate like things with the knife seemed like he adopted the same ideology the detective had - Choosing revenge over his future,his sister , "changing himself because the world doesn't change for him' |
 |
| Deep inside, during the ending, I was like, he's not going to do it. BUT HE FREAKEN DID IT! This episode was truly... truly deep about revenge. I was personally confused this episode. I think at the ending, he should've only hurts a few body parts instead of everything. I think Shimada did the right thing, but he went a bit too far, killing (supposedly) him twice. Both of the guys were slowly loosing their minds, and I think it was a good idea that they went into the void. HOWEVER, I think that they would've been able to be reincarnated if Decim didn't push their minds to be even more corrupt. I'm really confused on the way Demin thinks. The girl at the end said that Decim shouldn't think that humans are complex as they are, and that they're rather simple creatures. Sure, as humans, we like to simplify things a lot easier when things get really complex. Decim seems to think that humans are very complex creatures and requires lots of information in order to judge them. At the beginning of this arc, I think Shimada could've gotten reincarnated while Tatsumi would've went into the void. Shimada had a very bright future ahead of him while Tatsumi was getting really deep in terms of corruption and passing "judgement", and most likely would've turned into a full pledged killer at his rate. |
| THE BEST EPISODE YET. So intense I was on the edge of my seat. I liked the double episode feature, and loved the ending. Decim looked broken :/ |
  |
| That was depressing to watch. They both were good people turned insane due to the tragedy caused by other trashes. |
| I lost all respect for the Assistant that episode. Also I don't think this episode wasn't that amazing as others describe it, it was good I guess. The plot twist didn't really surprise me too much, and all the anguish they had at the end didn't make me feel much remorse for them at all. Maybe I'm heartless, though I did feel more during the Arcade episode and the Honeymoon episode. |

| They don't explain how Shimada died, why? I mean, he is judged, thus dead, and it seems he died quickly after all these events because he still look the same and has his bag with the bloody knife with him. Suicide? I don't think so. Accident? Sure, that's not essential to know that, but they could add a scene/picture in the last flashbacks, IMO. I feel something is missing. |
| holy fucking shit that was deep. the detective floating up there and slyly goading the kid on kinda reminded me of the devil... and onna was an angel trying to reason with him. he couldn't resist though. did they both end up going to hell? that would seriously piss me off, but i only saw a devil mask... and hell yes onna! she finally told it to decim straight! i dont care if it was "against the rules", the rules are fucked up anyway. and obviously tatsumis gone completely insane, all he wants to do is sit and watch as people suffer (*cough cough decim....*) but holy shit it looks like she broke him. will those human emotions finally awaken? he seemed to be clutching his heart. interesting how when she was punching him she kept targeting his heart... that ending was unbelievable. it was so artistically perfect, i love how they weaved the ending in. dammit i got chills watching i couldn't tear my eyes away!! this anime is SO GOOD its probably going into my top 5 |
 |
| This got bloody and real dark this episode. The detective saw all of that, yet didn't say anything. I don't think this way was completely wrong. It was horrible, but like he said, "she could have been stabbed." I wonder if that would have been worse or not... There are more than just one angle with which you can see this case. Loved Onna's speech. Surprised that it didn't work on the young guy... Really, human beings are such weird creatures. So weak to darkness... Man that was amazing. So intense... Possibly the best episode of this show. I loved scenes with Onna the most this episode. |
 |
| While the decision to send both of them to the void was technically correct, the method to GET to the decision was flawed beyond belief. It's very easy to push someone over the edge and make them commit a sin, especially when it's about someone they love, but that is a very poor was of judging someone. Especially if you are purposely baiting someone to sin. The brother would never have been sent to the void if Decim hadn't told him how he could torture the detective. Decim argues that he had to know if he'd do it, but because he lacks emotions or even a basic understanding of emotions he couldn't understand that it was OBVIOUS what 99% of humans would do, regardless of how kind and forgiving they are usually. Almost anyone would have done the same if someone was bragging about how letting your sister be raped and beaten was the right thing to do. PS: Amazing how many people didn't freaking SEE how the brother died. They showed it pretty clearly. |
 |
| Guys, we've found Kira Senior! Shimada was fidgety all throughout the 2 episodes, but Tatsumi was just so cold and cool. Too composed, he didn't have any problem when he remembered what he did. All humans, when pushed, do terrible, dreadful things and we all have some dark stuff inside us, but I figure Shimada wouldn't kill unless it was about his sister. While Tatsumi did nothing, he watched, and he was a police officer. And really, if he intervened and saved Sae, Shimada probably wouldn't kill the guy. Tatsumi probs would, but he already killed the murderer of his wife, he didn't have a problem with it. I guess the decision to break the pucks sealed Shimada's fate. Even though Onna had a point, I did feel sorta bad for Decim.. seems she got to him, which is still good. The mask at the end most likely meant they both went into the void. |
