| Felt the message at the end was kind of shitty tbqh. It seems they only ever make wrong calls. Know they're trying to add 'complexity' to it, but it's like dude how many souls have you condemned because you're shit at people. By their own metric, Decim would be the most deserving of hell in the whole world. |

| The game was rigged. And awkward. At the very least, I'm starting to understand the show a bit. Rather than focusing on delivering karmic justice from my original impression, Death Parade seems to be more about getting people to come to terms with their deaths. From there, it can either be a relatively pleasant process of acceptance, a struggle due to internal strife, or outright resistance in the form of stubbornness or villainy. |
| Wow, normally i dont coment besides in airing, but this episode i had too! Last part was really funny, it is really awesome how dont they give a f*** if they are dead, they have other priorities like take a bath or do a idol show! Other watching was awesome! Ginti's reactions all over the episode was really nice! |

| I was getting some serious #OurGuy vibes from my boy Yousuke Another absolutely phenomenal episode. Everything about it was perfect. The voice actors did an amazing job. I felt so many emotions in this episode. This was by far my favorite episode so far. I am loving this show. |
| The woman points out the problem with this show: all he does is trick them... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| @Confucius But this part of the games concept, the idea is not to bet over the game how to hande their "soul". |
| Damn! This episode actually made me tear up especially when Decim hugged both of them. |
| I sincerely hope I'm suppose to reject the premise of this show. I don't know how in any world you can side with the arbiter, and I hope that you're not supposed to. |

Good but confusing episode For me wasn't not a bit clear why she went to void and he don't, both had dificult lives, maybe because she cause suffer to other people, like her kids? I don't think so.  |

| "The departed are judged based on the lives they've lived and the degree of humanity they demonstrate during the game" Well, that's what Nona said. It appears that Decim doesn't care about what they did in their previous lives, what matters is what they are going to do in the "extreme" situation. The otaku got a reincarnation, even though he'll probably going to suicide again. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| It seems like Decim is testing his own judgement making skills by making use of that prop to break the joysticks. Because he made a mistake in the first episode by not being able to read the atmosphere well enough. Not sure how I feel about this verdict, seems a bit off for some reason. Was the woman someone who would do anything to get back to her children? (to the point of ruining someone else's life for her children). I guess this probably weighed in on his decision. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| Just catching up on the anime right now and I actually liked this episode. I think I can understand why each respective individual was voided/reincarnated. I think there was quite a bit of subtly there that might have gone over people. Or perhaps my interpretation is off. When Yousuke said he hadn't spoken to his mother in a lot time. I initially thought he was talking about the stepmom but now I believe he was talking about his real mother. The divorce, the abandonment for a young lonely self isolated child was hard and I believe he transferred his feelings about his absent mother to his stepmom. He allowed himself to dwell in his misery of being rejected by his bio mother so distanced himself. His suicide was a man low and bitter about his own self worth and perceived lack of love. (His father seemed very absent in the flashbacks) and sometimes in that moment of loss you do things you can't take back, like suicide. However I think on the revelation of his death, he regretted both the act and that he didn't open up to a mother who did love him and perhaps wanted to try again and rekindle that relationship. He seemed repentant. On the other hand Misaki came across cold and selfish in a cruel way. I'm wondering if the man who slapped and left her first, was an abusive man or maybe her own pettiness caused him to lash out and leave? Not that he's a good person, he abandoned his kids too. So probably just a bit of a douche. But Misaki did seem far more unhappy that he left her then the kids. In fact it came across that she treated her kids carelessly because their father did abandon her. Another thing I picked up that I think others might not was her absolutely love for her youngest son. In the arcade fight she called her children weak but gushed when it was just the boy. I'm assuming after a fling of affairs where she couldn't care less about her kids (Flashback shows her disinterest whilst the older children care for a younger crying sibling and where she blatantly makes out with the kids asleep in the other room.) I'm also going on the assumption that hallway guy is the one she was talking to on the phone and the father of her youngest. A man who stayed with her. So of course she'll love his kid and not the kids of the one who left her. Her entire being relied on her selfish desires and whims. And in her crying realisation of her death she says she was almost finally happy. Which I took to mean was due to new son and boyfriend. In the end her own selfish desires, her neglect of her older children and her inability to feel regret for the harm she caused those around her. I think that sealed her fate of oblivion. Even in spite of the revelation of her death she cared only about herself and not the harm she did. My summary; Yousuke regretted what he wasted his life on and wanted to make amends. (If returned he would want to change) Misaki only regretted dying before fulfilling the desires she already harboured before death. (If returned she would just continue where she left off) |

| Finally an episode with no forced twists. 4/5 |
 |
| Liked the ending, but that said, I wanted to be surprised, which this episode failed to do so, like, when I first saw that woman, I already gotten the impression she was a bitch, and she was going to the void, in that sense, the episode was pretty predictable, but the ending was at least really well done. But I was expecting more unpredictability from the anime, despite the fact, the last episode was really awesome. |
 |
| another intense episode |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| Awh why couldn't they have both been reincarnated?? This system is totally unfair...You think it's her fault that she had to go through all those thing?? Well in the end life should be fair. |
 |
| this episode is full of emotional, regret is always at the end, and suicide does not solve any problem, it only adds pain to those around him |
 |
| Yousuke didn't have as many sins compared to the woman so I understand the judgement |
 |
| Both of them had such a hard life only to have died a terrible death. Man, it was intense. 5/5 episode it was |
 |
kisoka said: I dont think she went to the void bc judging by the elevator light, her light goes up and his light goes down I don’t think the mask has anything to do with it idk I’m confused with ppl affirming she went to the void 🤡 I don't think this is correct, I watched the scene again after reading your comment and I couldn't tell which went up and which went down. In the first episode, It was vaguely stated in a way that the outcomes could be determined by looking at the masks. |
|
| This episode was pretty emotional, I actually teared up a lot near the end... Both of the players this week were victims of the circumstances they found themselves it. Both of them dealt with it in different ways. The woman channeled her pain to hurt other people whereas the otaku channeled his pain into isolation and ultimately suicide. It made sense to me that the woman would be the one to get sent to the void, because in the end it was her that brought more hurt into the world. I personally empathized with the otaku more than the woman, but both stories were pretty sad. As with the other players in the previous games, you can't box these people into simply "good" or "bad" which seems to be what the point of the anime is thus far - morality and way people live their lives. This makes two episodes in a row were I teared up...execution in this show is really good so far. |
| So this is getting better. But the new girl was acting annoying. I don't think she still understood what happens here. Last two judgements were enough clear than the first one. Though I didn't understood what was the judgement this time. It was enough complicated. And I liked that mismatched people also come here. Hope the story gets better like this. Decum was cool here this time too. I think this is not my type of story. But I'll finish. |
| that was quite an episode. both players had a rough life. misaki got pregnant early and got married because of it, her husband turns out to be abusive and left the house, leaving her no choice but to be a hostess, she brought several men over to her house, making her pregnant and they were abusive too. she was killed by her manager that was angered from the way misaki treated her yousuke's parents divorced when he was a kid, he became depressed because of it and couldnt accept his new mom. bored and tired of living, he comitted suicide at the end yousuke was reincarnated and misaki was sent to the void, still dont know why so im gonna read the replies here |
| nice episode i really liked it.the female and male both strangers played arcade game.this episode showed so many things.animation is fantastic.the woman in episode was cheated by several man ended up pregnant gave birth to large number of children she was depressed and consumed by temper and aggressive nature.the man was otaku his parents divorced and his father married another woman he was unable to accept her without knowing he ended up suicide. |

| A single mom and an shut in otaku. One got killed by someone, the other commited suicide. They both regret what they did. This episode hit me really hard for some reason. It felt way too real, when they both hugged him. That was when I really teared up. Both of them just wanted a second chance.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| i liked this episode, even though i wasn't nearly as invested in the characters and it didn't make me feel any strong emotions like the previous ones they both had it quite bad and hard in life, but misaki had a lot more darkness in her than yousuke misaki was miserable, but as her life got better, she changed for worse and just wasn't nice to people yousuke was probably traumatized by his parents' divorce and it led to him becoming a neet, he didn't see any point in his life and commited suicide.. but in the end, he didn't do anything too bad, except i guess he cut ties with his mom at first, i actually thought that misaki's going to get reincarnated because she showed more will to live and to be there for her children while yousuke, although he burst into tears at the end, seemed not so motivated to live at first an interesting episode overall, gonna read some more posts in this forum, maybe i'll see something i missed in the episode ^^ |
i wish i was a cloud |
| Worst episode. What is the point of a random couple dying in different places? And the episodic characters, what terrible writing. Just as like the surgery in the last episode, the "woman from tv show" and the otaku was pointless. Im in the verge of dropping this show. Weebs are too over-fascinated with anything with dark plot i see. |
 |
| i thought the lady died bc she didn't treat her kids well so they killed her and the otaku one killed himself just bc he was bored? nice episode overall ^^ |
| This episode is really intense. Its bringing out lot of people's true color. Specially the watchers judgement. This is insane |
