HybridMBL said: They emphasize in this episode the 3 rules of the Arbiters including how they're not supposed to have emotions but how do you explain Ginti? Does the rule mean lack of empathy? Also I'm interested to see how the "emotions" Nona implanted in Decim affect his job stability by the end of the series. What I was thinking aswell, I guess they have a different view on "emotions" . Great episode, a bit of a backstory on when Decim was sent to replace Quin. This show just really knows how to keep you interested :) |

| nice ep with a lot of background story |
 |
| I remember saying in the OVA that they were "just" puppets. I guess they aren't "just" puppets after all. |
 |
| If Arbiters are supposed to be emotionless puppets, then who created them. I have a theory that they're created from the "remains" of those who passed on. |
 |
| So they are puppets eww. |
 |
| arbiters have rules too so ginti dont send mayu damn great episode |
 |
| Nice background information. Nona better keep things together! |
  |
| Nice to get more character development for Decim. 4/5 |
 |
| Curious why Ginti is having such a hard time. Also Decim <3 |
| I thought I had something playing in the background during that OST when the billiards game was going on haha. I'm really interested in these next two guests that were supposed to go to a special arbiter. And Nona doesn't have much time to begin with? That doesn't sound good at all :( |
kitten320 said: So all of them are puppets? So who created them then? And they all seem pretty emotional to me. Especially Ginti, anger plays big role in judging and he is always angry. Should've been fired ages ago. Well there's always the possibility that it was like that before but because the real overseer left the arbiter's have been left running rampart and have been developing emotions because of it. Maybe they are just pretending like they don't have emotion's even though they clearly do. But anyways. This wasn't really bad episode if that's the case but i for one don't like that this show has to have bigger plot going on. I already feel like that this show didn't live up to it's potential because they feared (probably) of making the show episodic because the whiners. It's saddens me that there seems to be so many thickheaded people who always have to have thread going on. I much prefer several good short stories over one mediocre novel. |
| I feel like Nona has made a mistake or got involved in something she shouldn't have, but I don't know what. |
| Mayu is still around... I was wondering if it could happen since she's in the OP but didn't expect it to considering there doesn't seem to be anything special about her (besides her weirdness lol). I'm glad she's still around though, she's such a laugh and her personality/attitude is so refreshing in that setting xD I just wish they'd explain the circumstances of her not being sent away a bit more... and what about Harada!! |

| Yeah, I don't get why Mayu stays :/ I wonder if her other memories don't match up...? But I like how Ginti asks everyone BUT Decim for advice bc of how prideful he was acting all this time when Decim is the one with most experience on how it feels to not be able to judge someone lolol xD Ooouuu, that's interesting! I didn't think this at all, so it never crossed my mind. I've always assumed Onna is a dead human who instigates Decim's odd self to understand human emotions. After all, he doesn't think like the other dummies do-- he quite takes fascination in them and cares enough to preserve their individual existence ^-^ |
| Lot of backstory in this one. Neat to see just how complex this process is. Like a lot of people, not sure how they can say arbiters don't have emotions when they clearly do. Odd that it appears to be the most emotionless one that has them. Bit confused why Mayu got to stay on with Ginti. Not sure if he was saying he couldn't judge her to the other arbiters or if he was checking to see how common Decim's situation was. I don't get how Mayu would be unjudgeable; Onna clearly had a problem since she remembered dying. I seriously wouldn't put it past him to keep someone just because Decim did, though. I would like to know what is up with their "magic" (Decim's webs and Ginti's water) |
| Story moves forward a bit. |
| I dunno why is ginki still keeping that girl >.> just throw her in void already! |
| "Arbiters cannot feel emotions for they are merely puppets." I think that may not be a restriction, but a rule. That is, they could theoretically experience emotions, they just aren't allowed to. It is odd, that these beings that can't really empathize with humans, are tasked with judging humans. Well, they can often be seen smiling and being angry, but those might not be "truly human" emotions, to Oculus. So Decim is Nona's experiment, and she's keeping it a secret. I wonder how that will pan out. Also, why is Mayu still in the tower? Decim's "hobby" appears to be a lot less creepy now, it's more sweet, kind of. The judgment system is not fair? Decim even says "life isn't fair" multiple times. And have you seen the guy, Oculus, who runs the place? I don't know how you can expect fairness from a system enforced by him. And Decim was even scolded by Nona once for making a mistake. So no, it's not fair, but no one is pretending it is. |

| That girl is still there with Ginti, she's funny. |
 |
Adramelech said: How is it fair if some random girl is encouraged to drop herself because she doesn't wanna dirty her panties in front of some boyband guy? Nice fucking judgement procedure. She wasn't encouraged to it, which is why she couldn't be judged. |

| we got some character development that was a great episode |
| "Mountains, beings, and nature's laws are bound by an arrangement, and within it, we live." -Mushishi Zoku Shou Suzu No Shizuku |
| Curious as to what the the old man is since he seems to be different from the arbiters. Also interesting that they can get stuff from the "real world" since it means they have a way to make some sort of direct contact. Always figured people who died were just sent to them and not that they could actually get things from the human world as well. |
 |
| the thing about Decims dummies was interesting but apart from that it was kinda boring |
 |
| A pretty interesting and well timed dive into the people behind the scenes of the games, and Quin was pretty interesting, especially because of the amount of emotion she shows despite being previously an arbiter. |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Get to learn a little more about how everything operates. More characters being focused on |
 |
| Quin and that former arbiter were quite hot AF. I will need to save them sometime for future reference. Hot girls. But nothing else was good in this episode. Hope that the pop star from last episode is still there along with the fan girl. Seems like the bodies of the voided are left as dolls(dunno if the resurrected bodies are left as dolls though). Just checked out their wiki. Quin and the former arbiter are the same girl. Never knew that. And here I was, hoping for a threesome with both of them(who are the same girl). Unless of course, if I can have my way with their pre-Decim and post-Decim selfs at the same time.   |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| The adult characters look like Natsume Ono characters. The long faces, the prominent noses, the wide drooping mouths; not sure why that just came to me. |
| We get to know more for Quindecim. Why I feel this anime will have a sad ending? |
| This episode was definitely interesting. Tons of questions were brought up, like why were emotions planted into Decim? Why is Mayu here and not the other guy? Why would Mayu get sent to the void when the other guy was objectively more "evil"? Will Oculus ever win a game of pool? Hopefully, some of these get resolved. |
| Seems like Oculus is the one that created all of the puppet arbiters. And he enables them to think which might creates something new and that something new will possibly not what he desires. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Things getting more complex now. That was a major reveal, also no more time, for what? |
 |
| Why is Mayu still in that place? lmao |
 |
| How come Ginti is always mad when Arbiters have no emotions? |
 |
| ooh this time its more focused on the arbiters~ ah i can feel the complexity. |
 |
| We got some more hints towards the happenings behind the scenes. So Decim became Decim after taking a test, and it turns out Nona implanted him with human emotions to create a new way of arbiting. She also seems to have something to do with the black-haired woman, who seems to know that she is dead now. We also found out the rules of the arbiters, and that humans return back to mannequins/puppets when they pass on. That is why Decim dresses them up, so they are not forgotten. There also seems to be some sort of problem on Earth that is speeding up the number of deaths. I wonder how all of this is going to be developed in the future. I don't see the show going into what's going on, on Earth though. Seems like the next guests are special in some way. Perhaps we will finally see two awful people duke it out? I think that would be hella fun to watch. Also, Mayu is still around...I can't imagine why. Perhaps Ginti is keeping her there in order to understand humans like how Decim does? |
| So there is a Quinn here. Decum forgetting to use the remote was funny XD!!! But I think things are going to change a bit. They also kept Mayu with them. Weird though! I thought she had her judgement. Arbitrar's are having a painful life. The op is cooler than this anime. |

| another plot episode ! new character, quim. new info, rules of the arbitter and that decim was implemented emotions. even though he looks like the one with the least personality ginti still can't judge the mayu.. what about harada? understandable tho, he didnt get to bring the "worst in them". when harada was about to show his, mayu let did something that did the opposite, made him want to save her. mayu and ginti are pretty cute too |
