| Yo this was one hard ass episode :o It really just changed the series' mood. And I really wanna know how Shimada died though. EDIT: bastek66 said: HappyGirl said: Was it just me that didn't get how Shimada died? Or did they not show it? I'm confused...hahah xD Shimada bled to death after being stabbed by rapist. He didn't even notice it due to adrenaline.  Well thank you very much :o Kinda sad he died that way though. |

KamSung said: It really just changed the series' mood. Nah not really. The mood's been the same since episode one. The first episode is the best episode too by far. |
| Such a strong episode! I'm afraid both of them went to void after all that :/ |

Hikarusuke said: Dat intensity at end was off the charts. I loved this double episode thing MadHouse knows how to make a good anime and Death Parade is one of them |
| That. Was. AWESOME! And the end credits. Perfect! 5/5 |

A_Little_Birdy said: Am I fucked up to think what both of those people did was right?.. I mean Im not referring at the detective watching assault happening but rather that they took revenge on those criminals is probably correct thing to do. Its not wrong to think that since thats the natural inclination of most people. You punched me therefore i can punch you is considered a fairly normal response to getting punched. However if you lost someone close to you because of someone and want to end up killing that person and do end up killing that person, then someone was close to the person you killed will want to kill you too and the cycle of wanting revenge continues. Its this cycle that we want to break so that we wont have violence all over the place that we have a justice system set up to imprison murderers so random people wont take up a gun and go hunting for that guy that shot and killed his girlfriend or whatever. The episode was going so well and then the girl had to intervene >.> Its only in the darkness that we either get consumed by it or have the courage to be a light in the darkness. When man is tested in the extreme sense, we can see what kind of a person he is because of how he overcomes/deals with difficulty. |
| Shimada was pushed to the edge in this episode. I don't think that the judgment was fair for him. I do, however, think Tatsumi was judged correctly. |
| HEY! |
Aina-Chan said: Shimada was pushed to the edge in this episode. I don't think that the judgment was fair for him. I do, however, think Tatsumi was judged correctly. that is why they draw out the darkness in human's heart but truthfully it's not like the brother still had no choice left in him he simply succumb to his anger which is why he was sent to the void. |
| Everything is becoming blurry. If she exposes that they're being judged, won't that just mess up the whole judging process? I know that "pulling the darkness out" also has its major drawbacks. I wonder where they will take this. What happens if you break rules or expose the truth? |
  |
| For now the Best 2 episodes in the series , I liked how dark and intense this case was . Great . |
| This episode was really well done as it shows the human mental state using Shimada as an example. Loved how both of their stories connected. I wonder what Decim will do from now on. 5/5 |
 |
| Onna seemed to have broke Decim at the end. I'm not looking forward to Onna's judgement. |
| Wow, that was intense. The air hockey animation was amazing. The whole ending scene was amazing. The black-haired woman repeatedly punching Decim while talking about humans was so well-done, especially her facial expressions at the end. These last three episodes should be great. |

| this is so accurate |
| The stuff described by Onna was what has been bothering me about the judgments from the get go, so it's nice to see it actually got addressed. I thought this anime wasn't actually going to be self-aware to this extent. I like it much more now. Anyway, I also loved Tatsumi and the detective, so far they were the most interesting characters to appear on the show (out of the guests, anyway). |
| welp im a year late to this ep but whatever i feel like Decim is probably gonna change after this ep & i really dont want that to happen i like his callous stares he shouldn't be given emotion. Fuck Onna this ep she annoyed me w/ how she was trying to save Shimada even tho he did what i hoped for & Tatsumi i agree with what he was saying when he was baiting Shimada but I felt disgusted that he just watched Shimada's sister get raped This show is pretty awesome i really have no idea why i didn't marathon it sooner |

whitecrow69 said: I'm just gonna give you my answerDoes someone need to kill an innocent loved one for you to kill, or is brutal assault enough? Do they even need to be an innocent loved one or can they just be an innocent stranger? Should you always try the police first or is there a point where standard procedure could not possibly serve enough justice? For me yes, I wouldn't kill unless someone i cared about is hurt to a degree where I feel i must & will. Depend ifs its a innocent stranger thats related to loved one if so i will take up the mantle as murder, if its just someone off the street i'd just keep walking & not care about it. I'm a person who likes doing things by himself until he can get them done so i wouldn't go to the police at all, i haven't either in the past even when my life was on the line I never called the cops hopefully my answer gave you some insight on whatever |
| Interesting indeed. I don't think that the assistant should have stepped in but whatever. Would have liked to have seen how the guy with the sister died. Maybe he was murdered by someone else? Anyway I assume that both were sent to the void. |
| This episode sure was something... so emotionally charged. >_< |

I completely agree with this! |
Yep he is right ! ! ! |

| Well we've known the system is flawed since the beginning, but this just really drove it home. How can you compare the anger of someone who bled out after stabbing their sister's rapist to someone who had a fairly normal life and just happened to die in a bus accident right before reuniting with a childhood friend? Like Onna said, emotions are as varied as people. How do you credit all of that to their souls and not their situations? No way to tell how violent someone would be if they have nothing Decim can use to draw it out. Nona likely intended on this happening, trusting in Onna's humanness to reach something in Decim. |
| Onna is savage as fuck |
| What an ending. This judgement was longer than the rest but incredible well executed. Dunno if they can top this one! |
 |
| That was amazing i just didn't like the girl trying so hard |
 |
| Damn, episodes 8 and 9 were great. Loved their slow descent into madness as they came to realize how their stories were intertwined. Though I'm still curious how the younger guy died, and additionally how they ended up their together - I thought people had to die at the same time to get to the QuinDecim together. |
| Remarkable! Indeed best 2 part episode! |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Really a great episode, so he ends up killing detective again! |
| Ahhh this episode was really sad.. Didn't made me cry tho lol. Great episode filled with emotions <3 Hope next episode is as much good as this one. |
| A very intense ending for a pair of episodes such as these. I'm not really impressed though. I think the material was stretched a little too thin. They had two episodes at their disposal to tell this story, and they still couldn't make an ending that wasn't rushed. Another thing that I wasn't happy to see was the "stuffed into the fridge" trope. The detective dude's wife and the young man's sister were in the story for the sole purpose of giving motivation to their "protectors" by getting assaulted or killed. It's not an evil trope or anything, but it made me think the writers got a little lazy. On the other hand, I liked that the black haired woman disregarded protocol. She's not bound by any rules, after all, and she's only human (literally). And was Decim showing a hint of emotion? I wonder what the consequences for this scheme will be, if Oculus ever finds out. Matoro_Mahri said: I think a lot of critics have developed a sort of allergy to melodrama or just drama in general. Perhaps it's because they feel anime is somewhat disconnected from actual human emotions for some reason, and so any sort of intense emotion depicted feels forced and fake. Coming from a guy who extremely disliked Clannad, this is the obvious AOTS. I feel bad for people who have developed a disconnection from strong emotion in fiction. I don't think so. In spite of what the black haired woman would tell you, people are a little more complicated than that. I think some people prefer emotional stories told with more subtlety. But that's not all, people also have wildly different tastes as well. |

| Tatsumi was a sick bastard in the end, and I thought that he was a good guy in the previous episode, I couldn't be more wrong. Shimada didn't do anything wrong, he only wanted to avenge his sister, that isn't wrong at all. |
 |
| Wow that ending was way too cliche for my tastes... Also MC is overly sensitive:p |
| Dubbed anime is the best because you can wank without reading ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| they both going to void huh . holy shit this anime is intense |
| "Mountains, beings, and nature's laws are bound by an arrangement, and within it, we live." -Mushishi Zoku Shou Suzu No Shizuku |
| could of killed him when he tried to assault her come on Detective,Kurokami no onna is kinda annoying making the anime less enjoyable |
 |
| i'd have send Shimada to reincarnate tho, don't think an arbiter should judge with the shallow social laws of humans. i'm all for 'cleaning' up trash by death. |
