Tokoya said: Using Wikipedia in a debate....Top lel Dude me and many othere have proved that we are right and have shown analysis to back it up all throughout this thread. Majority of the thread is on your side? Try you and the same 3 other people that are going on and on with this crap (Like the guy I confused you with in regards to the sacred vows thing xD) They're in our chain of posts even lol. Majority of this thread are praising the episode. Nice try but nobody is that ignorant and gullible enough to fall for that ;) Once again, you just failed to comprehend it all, it's a waste of time for me to keep on repeating myself to someone who's biggest argument revolves around "What is morally right" Yet again, you have failed to explain your reasoning. As for my usage of actual facts, if you can't top that, then well, I'm sorry for you. I gave you plenty of opportunity to explain yourself, but as yet you haven't. If you really want to prove yourself right, it's really simple: Link me to your so-called explanations. If you cannot do something so simple in this day in age as to link to your, or your "majority" opinion, own posts on this very thread (i.e. which paragraph of which page, of which post of this thread), then you have some serious credibility issues. As of now, your own answers to my questions have consisted of "I have already told you", "you can see it in the episode" and "everyone who's seen my previous posts agree with me". In that case, just prove it. Link me to your so-called posts that explain your so-called position. It ain't really that hard, now is it? It would end any debate that you have with me in 10 seconds flat. Seriously, I'm giving you a chance to prove your credibility here. It's not my fault if you refuse to save yourself. |

One of the better introductions to a universe I've seen recently. Nona has captivated me. Tokoya said: EarlCiel said: Tell me about it. I'm almost convinced that at least half of them never even experienced a situation like this first hand beforeTokoya said: deadoptimist said: My point exactlyEdit: The thread honestly scares me, especially people saying that destroying a soul for cheating is ok, even if the said person feels bad about it and would like to repent, cause religion. Christianity at least has a concept of mercy and forgiveness. To see sins as a lines on a tab is wrong from moral standpoint. It's not that their good deeds were taken into account, and only their relationships were studied, though they're not the only facet of life. Everyone makes mistakes. Cheating is a mistake. In the end, we learned that she still loved him enough to sacrifice herself. So...like, honestly, people who are saying it's okay to destroy a soul for cheating is denying her love and saying it''s okay to condemn people for all of eternity...just for making a mistake. Some people have their heads screwed on the wrong way. Or we just understand the concept of marriage vows which is arguably one of the strongest convents between a man and a women (in this case) let one between the couple and God (if you believe so). That said something like cheating on your husband may not be a forgivable event considering they are newlyweds and don't have a ton of tangible, vested interests in their marriage aside from "love". I think individuals like yourself and your agreeable peers need to reflect on the level on insult cheating ie being unfaithful imparts onto a marriage. I'm not married and I can understand the degree of betrayal one must feel given the situation this character was in. I will go on to say being unfaithful is a calculated "mistake". Clearly this woman loves this man and only wants him in her life but with that being said, why would a woman like this go out of her way and sleep with another man? It's because the guy himself is very selfish and extremely paranoid (which in itself are terrible qualities to have especially for a spouse). Everything that happened was his fault. Like I said before, her cheating on him was wrong too but at the end of the day when you take a good look at this man, she deserved better (Yet she still chose him in the end and that says a lot about her character). What annoys me is that some people are condemning the woman without even understanding the full story I'm not going to repeat what I said earlier but forgiveness is also encouraged in some religions as well. The guy was too much of a hot mess as well so he will never find happiness because that's just his nature...This outcome was inevitable even if she didn't cheat Your argument is flawed. The ring was on the marriage finger, not the engagement finger. There is no evidence at all that the cheating occurred before the wedding took place, whereas the evidence points to the cheating taking place AFTER they got married. Also, the man's paranoia only started up after the wedding ceremony, meaning that they were all lovey-dovey before and during, if anything had changed to make the wife feel neglected/unloved (i.e. cause her to cheat), it would occur only after the wedding. By your standards, it's okay for a woman to cheat on a man, so long as it's before their marriage, she doesn't tell anyone about it, AND she's repentant for it? That's some seriously messed up logic if you ask me. If the wife had cheated and not come clean about it before the wedding, even if she was repentant about it, that would make her indiscretion even worse. First, if she loved this man, why cheat on him? Second, if she cheated on him for no good reason, why still get married to him? Third, if she was really feeling that repentant and guilty, why not tell him about the cheating BEFORE getting married to him? Instead she just zipped her mouth and hid everything from him, even until after they died. I don't see any of her actions, assuming that you were right in saying it happened before they got married, as being repentant or asking for forgiveness. If she was really feeling so remorseful about the entire situation, she would have owned up to her mistake instead of trying to hide things. It's because she was trying to hide that past lover who was trying to call her that they ended up dead. If they had talked things through before the honeymoon, none of this would have happened, Granted they probably would have ended up unhappily divorced, but that's still better than being dead. Don't just put the blame on the man's inability to trust. She was equally guilty, if not guiltier in causing the situation that led to their deaths. >lel He found out about it the day of the wedding, so how could she have cheated on him afterwards when they died on their honeymoon lol. And I'm also guessing that you all missed the part where I said that her cheating was wrong too huh? My goodness it's so funny how you guys are twisting what some of us are saying as well as the actual events of the situation just to get a point across which in itself is quite frankly ridiculous considering how big some of you are on these religious matters Like the guy I quoted said, stop being uptight and open your eyes and think critically AND logically. Things happen for a reason, not by chance. Also watch the episode again at least 3 times because clearly you watched the wrong anime lol Read much? I think I pointed it out very clearly. Plus, as I mentioned in the bolded parts above, why marry the guy when you cheated on him behind his back? If you really felt true regret for your actions, then what was the proof of your so-called regret? Is keeping silent about the cheating really how you deal with your so-called regrets and remorse? Is that how you show that you respect and appreciate this so-called "love of your life"? I never mentioned an iota of religion in my post, I used a purely logical and moral standpoint. It ain't my fault your opinion is clouded by other posts by other forumers. If you want to argue on my points, then clearly read only my points. Things happen for a reason and not by chance, yes that is true. So pray do explain why this woman would cheat on this so-called love of her life? Was she unhappy about their relationship? It wasn't shown, nor mentioned by either. Pray do show your evidence for how you know the infidelity occurred BEFORE the wedding (I think I proved my point with what they showed us in the flashback). In your own words: "Clearly this woman loves this man and only wants him in her life but with that being said, why would a woman like this go out of her way and sleep with another man? It's because the guy himself is very selfish and extremely paranoid (which in itself are terrible qualities to have especially for a spouse). Everything that happened was his fault." Pray do explain how she knew before the wedding that he was "very selfish and extremely paranoid"? Was there any evidence in the show pertaining to it? Please show it to me. Pray do explain why she would go sleep with another man if she knew all these bad qualities of the man, and STILL want to get married to him? Is she a saint? If yes, then why would she sleep with the other man? If you don't like the qualities of the man you selected to be the love of your life, is your reaction to sleep with another man? Is it considered remorseful or regretful if you keep silent about your indiscretion and not own up to it to the person whom you consider extremely important and also the love of your life? Seems to me that the one not thinking logically or critically here is you. Lel right back at you. 1. I didn't bother responding to the latter parts of your post because if you actually fully understood and analyzed the characteristics of the man and have actually...I dunno been in or seen an an actual relationship before, you could answer those questions on your own. I'm not going to hold your hand and spoon feed it to you. But to put you on the right track, *no relationship is perfect*, and I'll leave it at that 2. All that talk about sacred vows etc that you mentioned IS APART OF RELIGION lol what are you even getting at? XD Clouded by other posters? Dude, the only one who is clouded is you because only Jesus Kawaguchi knows why you're not seeing anything. Using morals in an argument is a red flag in itself (You'll learn this as you progress further in english/debate class). Your points shows that you didnt fully understand the point of this episode hence why I told you to watch it again 3. There you go selecting certain parts of what I said to try to get your "point" along again XD. Sighhhhhhhh, the evidence is the darts game in itself and the scene of their death. The point of the game is to show these people's true colours so that it can be determined whof gets reincarnated and who goes to the void. The answers to your questions can be answered by yourself once you fully grasp the concept of what I stated in (1) and what I just said in the sentence before this one. 4. Now you're just being completely unrealistic here. You're telling me that if you fucked up...Like REALLY fucked up, you're going to immediately come clean about it? That's not how the real world works buddy, it's human nature to be ashamed of making a big mistake and wanting to hold hold for as long as you can so that you could think of something to try and fix it. With that being said, once you fully understand the situation and human nature in itself lol, you should figure it out :) Silly human, go back to read my argument please, just because I have quotes that you quoted of other people does not mean that I said, nor agree, with what they said. First off, when did I say anything about sacred vows? Quote me on this one please. When did I say anything at all about sacred vows? Secondly, morality isn't limited to religion or anything, so I find nothing wrong with using it in my arguments. Thirdly, I quoted your entire text proper, I did not take anything out of context, anyone else who has read this conversation through and through can clearly see this. If I had taken anything out of context, why would i bother even quoting your entire text? Fourthly, despite all this posturing about "not spoon feeding me", you haven't even been able to come up with any viable evidence in the two episodes to support your argument. It's not about spoon-feeding, it's called empirical evidence. If you can't even bother to answer my queries properly just because "you can't be bothered to" that doesn't make you right, it just means you are unable to prove your position, so don't start acting all high and mighty. Answer my questions properly instead and actually prove me wrong. Otherwise, the one made to look like a fool isn't me but yourself. And as for your point (4), it's not the way the world works for you, but I think I can speak for most normal people, that if you fuck up, and you were truly remorseful and felt bad about it, then you really would own up to it. Remember the guy who chopped down the cherry tree? Abe Lincoln? Yeah he really fucked up too, and yet he owned up to his mistake and was rewarded for his honesty. Hiding your fuck ups doesn't show you to be a remorseful person, it just shows you to be a coward who is ashamed of their fuck up and cannot own up to their own mistakes. Even if you were trying to fix a fuck up, you could still own up to your fuck up. Which leads me to my fifth point. If you were truly so in love with a person and cared so much about them, would you not make it a priority not to majorly fuck up what you had with said person? It's not human nature to cheat, simply because human beings are social creatures who are pressured by morals, laws and traditions passed on to us for centuries. For all the points you put out, you still have not been able to answer the most fundamental problem with your argument. Why would wifey-san fuck up so majorly in the first place? Have you been able to back up your argument that "It was the husbands fault she cheated" with real evidence? Just answer my questions, no posturing needed. If you can truly prove me wrong, then do so. Morality stems off of religion, nothing more and nothing less. It's a concept from the Bible/Whatever other religious books there are in the world. Killing and stealing are morally wrong, so if I did one or the other that means I'm evil and should go to hell. But what if I killed out of self defense? What if I stole for the benefit of others or my own survival? Because the act itself is morally wrong that means I'm a bad person? Gtfo with that bullshit. Once again.....The evidence is RIGHT THERE FOR YOU TO SEE IN THE EPISODE. YOU just failed to FULLY INTERPRET what was said and shown because of your "morals" which as I stated earlier has NO PLACE IN A DEBATE. If you want to know what I'm talking about, then read all of my posts in this thread and all of the others whereas we got the message and understood it. >Implying that most people today are like fucking Honest Abraham Lincoln I'm fucking done with this conversation, if you finally decide to stop being biased and blind then good for you, if not then I'll just continue to laugh my butt off lol As such, I've read your previous posts, and yet you have still not answered my questions. Give me some real answers backed up by empirical evidence, please. Don't bullshit with the "right there for you to see in the episode". Point out the exact scene and type it out. Where is it? Otherwise I'll still call bullshit on your argument. As for your implication that "we got the message and understood it", I fail to see how you can even speak up for the others, specially when the majority of the thread are still going on about how Cheating is the worst and everyone who does it should go to hell or whatever. Please list out the posts that agree with you, or see things in your way, before you actually make such a bold statement. Morality was not a concept devised by religion. I highly doubt that before religion was in place all men acted like animals and killed each other for fun, or cheated on their SOs for fun. The concept of what is right or wrong did not stem from religion, religion simply took common sense concepts and molded them to suit their needs in preaching to others. Philosophy, which is pretty much the antithesis of Religion, is very much based on concepts of morality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality Please try to read up a little more before you start spewing your own ideas as fact. I was never talking about religion, nor was I even talking about whether what the couple had done during their lives had any weight on their judgment during the games and the revelations of their secrets and memories. The very core of what I had said up to now was that even now you have failed to answer the basic questions that I had posed about your own argument about why the wifey fucked up so badly in the first place, because simply you have not presented any evidence at all that as you say, the husband is entirely at fault. Seriously dude, just post the evidence. If you don't have any, just say so. Your "It's right there in the episode" is fooling no one. Either back up your argument, or just admit you don't got any. How simple is that? By the way, leaving the conversation without proving yourself right does nothing either. You guys are going on different tangents that are not necessary and at this point, based on what I am reading, are just trying to prove on another wrong. With that said, let me say my points and views about these two couple who should have had "a fulfilled happy life." < I am quoting the anime, not you two, so don't attack me. Why would she go and cheat if he is the love of her life? That is a very good question, and I think we found an answer at the end when Nona told Decim that "people make mistakes" after having heard that Onna's explanation... and that is the gist... humans are bound to make mistakes! I want to say that I do not know when the cheating happened, for me it's just not clear enough and B) I want to say that the guy lived his life with her in doubt and with no trust, and that is not fulfilling for any human being. You should not be in a relationship, marriage or with someone if you have doubts and are not happy and not sharing. So, he should have brought the question forward earlier and talked to her about it (because his doubts caused the death eventually, which I think is a good twist). I don't have answers and I think we should not try to enforce any of our thoughts on each other, specially form an anime that is open for interpretation. State what you have to state, accept it and move on. I think the anime is great and is a good portal to move our thoughts about humanity, morality and remind ourselves that at one point we will all be in the same shoes, so live as a better, understanding human being and never live in doubts or unhappiness (if you can of course, there are many circumstances that this not easy to achieve). I just want to remind all that these are my personal opinions and interpretations of the 2 episodes so far and I am happy for discussion but will not respond to attacks. |

So until then, good day to you sir @MezuAri, don't worry man, no harm will come to you xD. I'm not atracking anyone, but she cheated on him before the wedding because 1. The girls in the bathroom let it slip that the wife had an affair 2. This happened on the day of the wedding (We know this because they said that it was a nice ceremony and referred the man as her husband. Plus he was still wearing his tux) 3. They died on the honeymoon which tales place either immediately after the wedding or the next day |

Even if you were trying to fix a fuck up, you could still own up to your fuck up. Which leads me to my fifth point. If you were truly so in love with a person and cared so much about them, would you not make it a priority not to majorly fuck up what you had with said person? It's not human nature to cheat, simply because human beings are social creatures who are pressured by morals, laws and traditions passed on to us for centuries. For all the points you put out, you still have not been able to answer the most fundamental problem with your argument. Why would wifey-san fuck up so majorly in the first place? Have you been able to back up your argument that "It was the husbands fault she cheated" with real evidence? Just answer my questions, no posturing needed. If you can truly prove me wrong, then do so. Morality stems off of religion, nothing more and nothing less. It's a concept from the Bible/Whatever other religious books there are in the world. Killing and stealing are morally wrong, so if I did one or the other that means I'm evil and should go to hell. But what if I killed out of self defense? What if I stole for the benefit of others or my own survival? Because the act itself is morally wrong that means I'm a bad person? Gtfo with that bullshit. Once again.....The evidence is RIGHT THERE FOR YOU TO SEE IN THE EPISODE. YOU just failed to FULLY INTERPRET what was said and shown because of your "morals" which as I stated earlier has NO PLACE IN A DEBATE. If you want to know what I'm talking about, then read all of my posts in this thread and all of the others whereas we got the message and understood it. >Implying that most people today are like fucking Honest Abraham Lincoln I'm fucking done with this conversation, if you finally decide to stop being biased and blind then good for you, if not then I'll just continue to laugh my butt off lol[/quote] As such, I've read your previous posts, and yet you have still not answered my questions. Give me some real answers backed up by empirical evidence, please. Don't bullshit with the "right there for you to see in the episode". Point out the exact scene and type it out. Where is it? Otherwise I'll still call bullshit on your argument. As for your implication that "we got the message and understood it", I fail to see how you can even speak up for the others, specially when the majority of the thread are still going on about how Cheating is the worst and everyone who does it should go to hell or whatever. Please list out the posts that agree with you, or see things in your way, before you actually make such a bold statement. Morality was not a concept devised by religion. I highly doubt that before religion was in place all men acted like animals and killed each other for fun, or cheated on their SOs for fun. The concept of what is right or wrong did not stem from religion, religion simply took common sense concepts and molded them to suit their needs in preaching to others. Philosophy, which is pretty much the antithesis of Religion, is very much based on concepts of morality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality Please try to read up a little more before you start spewing your own ideas as fact. I was never talking about religion, nor was I even talking about whether what the couple had done during their lives had any weight on their judgment during the games and the revelations of their secrets and memories. The very core of what I had said up to now was that even now you have failed to answer the basic questions that I had posed about your own argument about why the wifey fucked up so badly in the first place, because simply you have not presented any evidence at all that as you say, the husband is entirely at fault. Seriously dude, just post the evidence. If you don't have any, just say so. Your "It's right there in the episode" is fooling no one. Either back up your argument, or just admit you don't got any. How simple is that? By the way, leaving the conversation without proving yourself right does nothing either.[/quote] You guys are going on different tangents that are not necessary and at this point, based on what I am reading, are just trying to prove on another wrong. With that said, let me say my points and views about these two couple who should have had "a fulfilled happy life." < I am quoting the anime, not you two, so don't attack me. Why would she go and cheat if he is the love of her life? That is a very good question, and I think we found an answer at the end when Nona told Decim that "people make mistakes" after having heard that Onna's explanation... and that is the gist... humans are bound to make mistakes! I want to say that I do not know when the cheating happened, for me it's just not clear enough and B) I want to say that the guy lived his life with her in doubt and with no trust, and that is not fulfilling for any human being. You should not be in a relationship, marriage or with someone if you have doubts and are not happy and not sharing. So, he should have brought the question forward earlier and talked to her about it (because his doubts caused the death eventually, which I think is a good twist). I don't have answers and I think we should not try to enforce any of our thoughts on each other, specially form an anime that is open for interpretation. State what you have to state, accept it and move on. I think the anime is great and is a good portal to move our thoughts about humanity, morality and remind ourselves that at one point we will all be in the same shoes, so live as a better, understanding human being and never live in doubts or unhappiness (if you can of course, there are many circumstances that this not easy to achieve). I just want to remind all that these are my personal opinions and interpretations of the 2 episodes so far and I am happy for discussion but will not respond to attacks.[/quote] Thank you! For once I feel like I'm not talking to a wall here. My only gripe has and always has been the lay of the blame regarding the incident and the accusation that Tokoya had that everything was "all the guys fault". My entire rebuke of it has simply been the lay of blame of both persons deaths caused by the weird situation caused by the cheating (in fact, I'd posted several times in the past two episodes that the timeline of events didn't seem to make sense). Tokoya was so adamant that his/her view was correct and that everyone on the forum bar a few "idiots" saw things the way that he did. I'm just here to ask for proof regarding all his claims. Simple as that. It's really not my fault that he didn't explain it properly to shut me up, or to back up his points with valid explanations and evidence. I too agree that humans are entitled to making mistakes, but here's the thing: If there is truly a reason for everything, can you truly prove that it was "All the mans fault" that the cheating occurred? Is it not possible that given the seriousness of the indiscretion and the facts provided to us in the anime that the wife was so in love with the man, that one reason for why the woman cheated was simply because it was something in her nature to do so? In which case, would that not mean the man was truly not fully responsible for the incident which cost them their lives? Edit: I would also like to add that given his latest post on what he believes is the true timeline of things, laying the blame of their deaths on the man makes even less sense, considering that she had cheated on him before he supposedly turned all paranoid and indifferent towards her. I've been posting questions up, you would think that if as he says that everyone and their uncle sees things his way, that there wouldn't be my questions here in the first place? Truth of the matter is, not everyone agrees with his points. He just has to accept it and move on. I personally enjoy discussing about humanity and morality here on these threads. As such, I appreciate any and all logical discussion. @Instakiller: fixed somewhat. |

She made one shitty decision and she immediately regretted it, are you really saying that it's wrong for her husband to forgive her and continue their relationship? The theme of this episode was "everyone makes mistakes", she also showed her good nature by acting as a scapegoat for her husband's mistake, which killed their son. Lol forgive and just continue the relationship? No offence but it sounds like you've never been in a serious relationship. To be cheated on is a terrible feeling of constant distrust and fear. Forgetting after CHEATING is not something easily done. Once you cheat, it will stick with your partner forever, there is nothing the other partner can say or do that can ensure 100% loyalty without giving up their free will in the relationship. |

In addition you even saying that also implies that you're attempting to antagonize the people that agree with by using something I never even said as fuel In short you're trying to make it seem as if I'm rude and self centered which in itself is insulting me. It's not my fault that you refuse to read through the thread to see where I made the points and analysis that you hilariously claim that I don't have and then rewatch the episode closely and critically so that you can see the truth for yourself xD I think that you just refuse to look at it from a different perspective because your "morals" automatically has you biased towards the man. Yeah I feel bad for the man because I know how it feels to be betrayed but at the end of the day, he brought it on all on himself and it's his fault for not only killing his wife, but his unborn child too (Which is nothing short of murder). If he lived to tell the tale his ass would have been thrown in jail in a heartbeat for being a dumbass |

So some souls are reincarnated, while the others get taking out of the loop by being sent to the void. So where do new souls come from? Also funny how Onna never asked if she is dead and why she is not sent on but chosen as an assisant, or if Nona and Decim are or what they are, seeing that they appear to be doing it for quite some time already. Arbiters, okay, but who chose them? Who made that place in the first place? Nona said they call reincarnation heaven because it's easier to understand. Together with seeing how reincarnation is the good option, and the void the bad, there doesn't seem to be an actual heaven, therefore no god or anything. To be fair, she was a bit preoccupied with the things Nona said, but stil.. Also: Decim is on the 15th floor. Even when Reincarnation and Void are both floors and counting Nona's place, that still leaves 11 floors. Seeing how spacious both the bar and especially Nona's place are, what do they need (at least) 11 additional floors for when all they do is judging souls and sending them on via elevator? |

Kurokolist said: mrdkreka said: konatachan80 said: I would never be able to get along with you if you think betraying someone is ever an ok thing under any circumstances. You mean like how the husband betrayed her wife love, and because of it she wasn't able to get along with him. So you have quite a lot in common in this aspect It isn't 'just' sex. That line alone should indicate we just can't see eye to eye. What you view as just sex, others view as being forsaken and completely betrayed. For many it's the one thing you can't come back from. Some can work around it, but it forever changes a relationships dynamic. Why do you think so many homicides have cheating involved? Cause it matters. Why do you think a lot of relationship end with cheating? Just because cheating is easier to define doesn't make it worse than treating your love like shit, and causing the death of both of them and their unborn child :-/ And we weren't shown anything indicating that they ever broached the issue. Your the one making the statement that they may have despite the episode being about coming clean so that is up to you to prove. But it doesn't really matter, because cheating is cheating. Divorce is an option if it's so bad. True the husband never approached the wife with his mistrust, and the wife didn't talk the issue over with her husband. This is what makes it a grey area issue, where the scale tipped in the women favor because of her sacrifice in Ano point of view, which Arbeiter didn't see. Cheating is only a result, the reason/intent behind it defines its meaning. That is apologetic bullshit. This is the shit that enables cheaters. The only definition is that they are untrustworthy scum. Relationships have ups and downs. How you respond to the hardships is what defines you as a person. In the wife's case, she boned another guy, fulfilling her husbands paranoia. That great wisdom of hers. Cheating is a choice. The wrong choice. It is so blatantly black and white. You are never forced into it. You chose to be a lesser person. The wife even understood she was wrong so this isn't even a question. Circumstances don't lessen her mistake at all. They don't even matter and are two separate issues. The husband and wife pair didn't handle their problems or relationship correctly from the start. And I don't think a lot of relationships end with cheating, a lot do in fact end because of cheating. Others end because of other reasons. Whatever the case, cheating almost universally has a negative impact on the couple. There are sometimes underlying reasons behind cheating but it is often the proverbial nail in the coffin if it happens. Those reasons, again, don't impact the cheaters guilt at all. There are better ways to handle relationship problems besides screwing things up more. And to the above couple guys who said she really did love him... no. That wasn't real love. Cheating and true love is indeed mutually exclusive. Because true love isn't situational. You don't just cheat when things get rough. Again, circumstances don't matter. Common sense people. You work through it and fix things. There was also no indication that she was indeed going to come clean about her cheating. Hell, it wasn't until the 11th hour that she actually came clean. She did care and have affection for him... but real love? I've seen real love and that isn't it. Fucking +1. Well said. |

Your words, not mine: Tokoya said: Clearly this woman loves this man and only wants him in her life but with that being said, why would a woman like this go out of her way and sleep with another man? It's because the guy himself is very selfish and extremely paranoid (which in itself are terrible qualities to have especially for a spouse). Everything that happened was his fault. Like I said before, her cheating on him was wrong too but at the end of the day when you take a good look at this man, she deserved better (Yet she still chose him in the end and that says a lot about her character). What annoys me is that some people are condemning the woman without even understanding the full story Tokoya said: If you want to know what I'm talking about, then read all of my posts in this thread and all of the others whereas we got the message and understood it. Tokoya said: he brought it on all on himself and it's his fault for not only killing his wife, but his unborn child too Cause and effect. If she hadn't cheated, they'd still be alive (hence, it IS her fault them and their baby are dead, and not entirely his) Oh, and in case you didn't read it, pray do explain your position on the below L-Ryoshi said: I too agree that humans are entitled to making mistakes, but here's the thing: If there is truly a reason for everything, can you truly prove that it was "All the mans fault" that the cheating occurred?

Same to you here, mate. I think you are blinded by the possibility of an alternate perspective because you clearly are not answering my questions and responding to my points. You're only fixated on that you think you are correct and ignoring that other perspectives can still be right. |

The soundtrack is so amazing!!!!! Hmm so it just confirmed our doubts. Machiko was making takahashi hate her and place all guilt on her... So he could be free and reincarnated. But still cheating is cheating. Maybe she was crying in that night as she discovered the baby was with the man she cheated with Got to learn quite a lot about Decim. His hoby turned the back of his bar into a haunted house... Also the realisation of his mistake. That black haired woman(what's her name) seems to be an interesting add to the bar and would love to see more of her. |

Wow, this anime is exceeds my expectations. I love the behind the scenes. And it seems these scenes did not have enough evidence to denote what religion is there based upon (The buddha icon before Onna and Nona went inside the elevator is a bit not enough for me other than a design..) other than that.... In the story, reincarnation is indeed the basic of what we know. Plus (someone said it at the previous forum/s) is does not mean that it is a good thing (Case in point for Takashi. He has trust issues but then again that is everyone opinion since he was with Machiko). Void is somewhat in a sense hell but once you go there you never go back. What better way to burn a soul for all eternity than waste the soul to nothingness. Theories regarding about Machiko 'lying' and 'cheating' are right. Congrats guys! Still tragic though for her. Is Death Parade a sequel to Death Billiards? or the other way around? billybob300c said: 4. Machiko DID CHEAT. But it was a one-time thing and she truly regrets it. We don't know why she cheated but it was probably cuz of takashi's suspicions of her cheating. This is quite I dunno know reverse? So Machiko cheated because Takashi suspected her cheating? Wouldn't be Machiko stopped to cheat if Takashi was suspicious? *_< Somethings not quite add up to your sentence. Pardon me if that is the case. billybob300c said: 6. Takashi should've been sent to the void cuz he's the one who got both of them killed Yeah he got them killed....through an ACCIDENT. It was not intentional to begin with. He simply did not look at the road. It is not a good evidence to sent him to the Void. billybob300c said: -TL;DR: 8. In the end, Dequim made a bad judgment call. He took machiko's "confession" at face value, saw that as her true dark self & used that to determine their judgment when it was clear that she was clearly putting up an act in order to reduce takashi's grief. she was using a lie to save takashi but dequim couldn't see it. I think he did not made a bad decision cause still in the end, Machiko cheated whether it is a one time thing or not still 'she cheated'. It puts a dent in there relationship. Surely there is a chance there would be another. Although I believe the mistake Decim did was he did not take into consideration the feelings of Machiko thus he thought Machiko indeed was telling the 'truth' but it was rather a 'lie'. |

I'm still waiting for you to back up your opinion about how it was entirely the mans fault that everything went down. |

It's BECAUSE she cheated that she didn't tell her husband why she didn't want to take the guys call.

So much explaining happened in this episode. Tho I feel like this, together with the first episode, should have been Episode 00 or a 40-minute OVA instead of separating it into 2 episodes. Anyway, I don't really have any opinion on the facts that has been presented on this episode, but for me, they both made a mistake, it's their fault regardless of which way they're gonna go (reincarnation or void). Still looking forward to know more about Onna's real identity. And she can greatly help on passing judgments on people! Btw, she (Onna) reminds me of Yomi from Ga rei zero, both hot <3 |

XD If you don't understand the laws of cause and effect, it ain't my problem. And no, I'm not african, nor am I black. Just cause you use racial slurs does not make you cooler, nor does it make you right. Read up the entire post. If she hadn't cheated, none of it would have happened the way it did. Yes he may have had other reason to let go of the steering wheel in some other event due to his "bad personality", but by cause and effect, the root of the reason why he let go of the steering wheel in that situation was because she initially cheated. In terms of causation, her choice to cheat was the point in origin that led to the result of them three dying. Think, had she not cheated, then none of the following events would have happened, they may have died some other way due to the husbands poor driving, but in this situation whether the husband was a poor driver/made bad decisions/lacked composure at the wheel is not the argument here. Again, I repeat Cause and effect. If she hadn't cheated, would there even be any reason for the husband to suspect his wife? Would he have been so distracted at the wheel if he wasn't worrying about her lover calling her up? Yes, his dark nature and distrusting character made him suspect at the wheel., but if she hadn't cheated then no rumors would have cropped up to distract him now would they? I stand by my reasoning that the husband wasn't 100% responsible for their deaths. If you cannot follow that simple logical flow of events and are only focused on the accident itself, it's not my fault. If I recall, you also mentioned that the wife cheated because of the husbands distrusting behavior. Yet you still haven't answered my query regarding how she would be so unhappy so as to cheat on the love of her life before knowing his petty and mistrusting behavior (shown only after he found out AT the wedding). |

Did anyone feel like that green hair girl was talking to the viewers as well? The questions seemed to be directed to us as we would be in a similar situation to the black hair girl. Also, the information provided by the anime was too lacking or misguiding to derive those conclusions as the viewer, but it was feasible for the arbiters since they were given their whole life-span. I guess at the end, she also meant the viewers have a long way to go as well. I didn't read the full argument going on above, but it's actually neither of their faults unless they were actually referring to the girl in the flashback in the bathroom. Then it would be the girl's fault. I don't blame the guy for suspecting his wife. What he heard was very convincing and if he actually did love her, he would suspect her rather than disregard it. |

The second episode kind of ruined the whole mistery of the show. Like, it's way better to have to think for yourself in the end who is the one going to heaven and who is going to hell. Granted, the masks above the elevator also ruin it, because it's kind of obvious which is which. And the whole "she did it because she loved him" is absolute bullshit. Even if it were true, they are still in that situation because of her. One time thing or not, in Death Billiards no one made excuses for Otoko cheating and being killed for it. Where was Onna's moral high ground then. |

I really liked that it was a behind the scenes of the first episode. I had a feeling Machiko was lying about the baby not being his and stuff, I feel bad that she was sent to the void. I don't think she deserved that :/ Which makes me question why people (or beings, I'm not quite sure what they are yet) who don't fully understand the way people act and why they do whatever they do get to decide their fates... Overall, great episode. Although I have to say, one episode and the girl with purple eyes and white-ish hair (can't remember her name) is already pissing me off for some reason ._. |

So this arbiter role is pretty useless and has a major flaw. They are in charge of the judgement of souls, yet they know nothing about the people they are judging, not until the souls "reveal" themselves. What is more interesting is that the arbiters have to use the stimulation method to attempt to bring out people's darkness. It is really obvious that people would have ulterior motive and go as far as lying to save themselves or others. I still can't comprehend the fact that everything is to be decided by playing one game of "life and death". So, in the end, the so called arbiters are still clueless. How ironic. |

But before I do that, I dunno if you're serious or just plain stupid but the husband is to blame for why they died I'm assuming that you're murican since you brought up something about the country before. You of all people should know that it is illegal to be on a phone while you're driving. That's the first fuck up. Why you ask? Because that shit can get you in an accident whereas you can possibly die or thrown in jail (Which he would have been if he lived) Secondly, they were driving quite fast on a highway . Who in their right mind would risk what I said just now take their hands completely off of the wheel to go grab a fucking phone to read a text -_- A fucking maniac that's who. Any person with an ounce of common sense would stop the car first then go ahead to get mad. HE MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE HIS HANDS OFF OF THE WHEEL AND AND NOT WATCH THE ROAD OF HIS OWN FREE WILL. SHE DID NOT COMPELL OR FORCE HIM TO DO THAT BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY RETARDED OF HIM TO DO CONSIDERING THE SITUATION If you still refuse to accept that the husband killed them then you really are just plain stupid Now with that out of the way, first I want you to read this article. And when I say read I mean the entire article so that you can actually understand what's going on instead of just paying attention to one part of an argument and treating it like it's the whole fucking argument like you've been doing all this time (seriously learn to debate) http://rereadsandreviews.com/2015/01/18/dp-s1e1/ I can't explain the thought process that you should have gotten any clearer than that. Once you're done reading and understanding what was said then proceed to reading what's in the spoiler tag that follows (Or you can just look around this sub forum because there are plenty on threads where people have pretty much explained the whole damn thing on their own too). And yes I will provide visual aids just to go that extra mile for you since you're a special case. Let's start off with the background of QueenDecim. This is essentially a purgatory of some sorts whereas two individuals whom died simultaneously (This isn't exactly confirmed yet considering the case in the OVA but it is the case in these two episodes atm) will appear in this room to be judged by our MC Decim. Upon arriving they are then manipulated into playing a game by the use of fear whereas the players believe that if they lose one of them might get hurt or die. In actuality, unbeknownst to the players, they are already dead and are actually playing a game to figure out whom will be sent to be reincarnated one day or sent to the void. However as we saw in this episode, the game is designed to slowly bring back certain memories of their life one by one to then eventually get the players to show their true colours or personalities if you will. As we all know, the two players are the husband and wife yada yada and they slowly go through this excruciating process until the verdict is reached. But before I get into the true purpose of this post. Since episode 1 ended the way it did, some persons (Myself included) came to the conclusion that the woman wasn't as bad a person as others thinks she is and that her outburst at the end was clearly a farce. However since Decim sent her to void, we all assumed that he was right and that maybe even reincarnation would have been the bad end of they used certain religions like Islam I believe for this anime. However episode 2 showed us that not only did she indeed get the bad end, but Decim himself made a mistake with his choice to which even he himself admitted and apologized for (He was even bummed out by it too which like I stated in my first post that you refused to read, found to be very good on the writers part). Now to explain why Takashi should have been sent to the void. As I stated earlier, the point of the game is to show said characters true colours. We all know how the early stages of the game played out, they both didn't believe that Decim was for real about the organs thing so they both didn't take it seriously on round one. That changed however upon the husband remembering this scene here http://dalian.7thstyle.com/2015/01/death-parade-ep-1-seventhstyle-010.jpg He figured that the loser would die and would end up in that room and if they continued to intentionally miss then he would have ended up losing and as such he intentionally threw a dart onto the board. This shows that he was only looking out for himself which is simply defined as being *selfish*. Also he further shows that he's unfit to be a spouse yet alone a husband because the man is supposed to put his lady first in everything and clearly this was not the case here (After watching episode 1 again I noticed a lot of foreshadowing throughout the entire thing stemming from their choices before throwing the darts as well as the body parts that they hit. I could individually state the significance of each body parts but I don't have the time to get into that atm) Next after sustaining an injury from her husband's selfish act, she accidently threw a dart into the eye organ (We know it was accidental because she flinched before throwing due to the cut in her lip) which as Takashi said was the double (That is both eyes) which then signifies how blind he is to everything, i.e. his paranoia clouds his rationality and he becomes unstable and unreasonable. He then proceeds to further inflict pain on her (Thus showing his vindictive nature) only to be stopped by the revelation that she is carrying his child. However, he remembers that he overheard the conversation in the bathroom and throws the dart on her womb where the child is (Which foreshadows the next event that I will mention niw). Afterwards he takes her final dart and then proceeds to condemn her, completely ignoring everything she says because of his inner nature of being untrusting and then proceeded to not only what he believed to be *killing her off* but the baby too which he foolishly believed wasn't his thus showing how menacing and how much of a scumbag he is because he is condemning a woman and a child to save his own skin. (This is what you call murder) His violent nature also came to light even more after her farce of a confession whereas he literally tried to kill her. Now to explain what we've learned about these two individuals I'll start with the wife, YES she did cheat on her husband (Due to recent revelations it seems that maybe she cheated on him after they got married because if you look closely enough at the two bed scenes, the first that we see is of Takashi and Machiko in what looks to be a hotel room and he's laying down on the bed looking angry and suspicious while she's ignoring him and is on her phone. This suggests that they were probably just having a fight about her possibly cheating on him when in actuality those girls were talking about someone else and knowing this man's true nature, he showed the wife his true colours which in turn pisses her off (Because quite frankly both guys and girls tend to get annoyed when your spouse gets too clingy and demanding and accuses you of cheating over the slightest thing. The other bed scene is of the wife with another man and she appears to have on her wedding ring (This could go the other way around as well seeing as though people wear rings when they are engaged too. But traditionally the questing a day engagement rings are different) As shown here http://i.imgur.com/04gpXu4l.jpg The wife shows anguish and cries a second later suggesting that she knows that she made a horrible mistake and regrets it deeply thus showing that she still cares about him deeply. We also know that she loved him because we've seen many scenes of them together with her showing extreme happiness such as when he proposed to her and when she got pregnant with his child before they got married. Yes I know that cheating is wrong and I'm not encouraging it either, but this disgusting man clearly brought her to the brink of anger or weakness that her mind got clouded and she made a big mistake without thinking. It would have been another thing if she didn't care and or regret it but as we saw, she immediately felt the opposite. And that's where I want to get to stating how intriguing this series is because of how deep in human nature that this series is willing to go into. At the end of the day, she truly and sincerely loved this man and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him and their child. We know this because it was painfully obvious that her outburst was a lie and that she did it to not only save his life, but to make sure that he wouldn't die knowing that he killed the person who truthfully loves him but their child too. Now if that isn't called loving someone more than yourself then I dunno what is (This was confirmed by Onna and Nona as well btw if you actually read what they said and saw their facial expressions) Now onto Takashi, I pretty much already stated as to why he deserves to be in the void but upon analysing the situation, it is very apparent that not only did he have serious trust issues, but he was selfish, spiteful, vindictive, cruel and psychotic all of which are qualities that a spouse should not have because it would destroy the relationship. However Nona further made it apparent that your soul is your very nature and it cannot be changed hence no matter if she didn't cheat or if he was with someone else, his fate would not be changed because those personality traits are who truly he is, it is inevitable that he will be back there again one day In short, his sins outweighs hers by a mile....I mentioned my argument about forgiveness many times before so I'm not restating that There you go, kthnxbai P.S. I had visuals for pretty much every scene I described but I got lazy/cba because I don't have computer access anymore and I have to use my phone (Yes I texted all of this) and in order for me to upload screenshots onto the net it could have caused me a lot of problems/wasted too much time and I might have ended up losing this long ass post and I was not going to write it again if that happened so yeah..... |

Damn you people are twisted. Her cheating, or him getting them killed by being careless on the road is not valuable factors for judgment here. What is being evaluated here is their soul. What kind of people they are. So from that the woman proved to be a better person since she was willing to sacrifice herself so he could feel less guilt about killing their child. On the other hand he was getting more and more paranoid and refusing to believe anything and started caring only about himself. Also sorry but thinking that sleeping with some other guy is some big factor for eternal condemnation is ridiculous. My question here is: Why does one have to go to the void or reincarnated? Or it doesn't? What if both were great people? What if both were completely horrible? Also do they always have to play such games with two persons. What happens when one dies alone? Playing a game with a stranger that died alone somewhere else? there is no motive to show character there since he/she will have no feelings for the other person. Anyway it seems that short woman has more experience than the bartender guy since despite the black haired girl figuring things he didn't the short woman seems to have seen even further than that. Is not quite correct to leave him there doing the job if he still isn't very good at it. So they are like soul judges. And they can see memories and that goes only for those with those weird eyes. |
