So was that the right decision?

Yes

>implying reincarnation is worse the loss of individuality in a soul mass that is the void
>something something I shiggy diggy
Woman was lying about her motives, takashi was a whiny cunt.
inb4 religion shitfest
>>119606519
Whiny or not he did nothing wrong.
>>119606672
Aside from murder.
>>119606672
Except kill everyone because of his jealousy/insecurity.
So how many threads are we on now?
This is pretty impressive for a single episode, especially considering that it's been mostly actual discussion.
Was Death Billiards even this popular? I was banned when it came out.
>>119606988
Not really, It did have a couple but nothing sub-stantial
>>119607095
>sub-stantial
>>119606775
>>119606790
It was a goddamn accident.
>>119606988
Death Billards is more vague and no one knows what really happened.
I'm still not convinced about this whole void nirvana business.
>>119607165
It was karma from the lack of communication over a misunderstanding on one side and a genuine wrongdoing on the other
Just like when Matchy hit him right in the heart
They gotta update the roster in the games man
Put some fightan and a moba, those 2 always manage to show the worst of people
>>119606988
Probably because the op is so good
>>119607462
>Just like when Matchy hit him right in the heart
Matchy isn't her nickname though.
The opening of this show makes me so fucking happy while the actual content of the show is depressing
>>119607579
It's okay, nothing special.
>>119607697
You're easily impressed.
Why does the bartender looks like a fucking faggot?
>>119607462
>It's man's fault
>Therefore she allowed to cheat
I'm confused, so did she cheat or not and who is the father?

>>119606107
Why did she even decide to confess? Did she want to be sent to hell?
These threads are b8 central.
>>119607921
I'm pretty sure that's what the last thousands of posts have been about in the threads.
It's pretty much up to you. Was she saying that she cheated just to make her husband feel validated? Was she actually Matchy who had an affair? Maybe that meeting in the restaurant was an arranged marriage meeting and there was really someone else she loved.
The whole point is that it's open ended.
>>119608083
I've been off /a/ for a few days because recaptcha refused to load for me, I made this thread because I just watched the episode and didn't see any thread in the catalog.

Religion is tough to talk about in any kind of forum
Why do they have to play a game? Shouldn't they be judged individually?
>>119608209
Yeah. The last one just died. I just meant that you should check the archive if you want (a lot) more discussion.
>>119606988
Trust me, if the next episode is not about cheating it will be a lot less popular.
The bitch made ONE act of sacrifice, and that's when she knew she's dead and probably acted out of guilt. There's no way it's enough for her to go to "heaven" or whatever.
>>119608526
Who cares about those people, the rest of the cast looks nice
Is the void considered heaven and reincarnation considered hell?
Kind of the opposite of what you'd expect from a Western standpoint but that's what I'm getting from other people's explanations.
Is that a fucking gamepad at the end of the OP?
>>119606107
Yes
Reincarnation is shit, you don't retain your last life individuality (or they both should have had memories of past lives after they died, unless it's the first life they ever had).
The void in my opinion is more the type of place where you retain individuslity but you are alone forever (the same as being on 4chan).
>>119608649
Void is nothingness
This is what actually happened:
>Woman gets pregnant with doctor's child.
>Woman marries doctor, now wife.
>Doctor overhears a conversation on his wedding day. Starts suspecting his wife cheated on him. The person talked about was not his wife.
>Doctor becomes distant and paranoid. Wife cheats on him and regrets it.
>Wife makes a false confession to give doctor some measure self-justification over what happened.
>>119608435
It's an anime, your logic isn't needed here
>>119608703
Isn't Void a good thing in Buddhism? You break out of the reincarnation loop.

Except this isn't true.
I want to see how the other bartender deals with his customers. His description said he's extremely violent.
>>119608435
Using the Ten Commandments as an example, sin probably has more to do with how you treat other people.

in the OVA the young dude breaks the jellyfish tank
therefore rip them
>>119608796
>gg
Episodic supernatural job shows are always good.
Someone needs to go to 2chan and ask them if The Void is supposed to be a good thing or not due to Japanese Buddhism being a bastardization of Buddhism and Shinto with sprinkles of Christianity

I doubt they know this.
>>119606107
>Husband becomes paranoid
>Starts looking at her coldly

She looked like a great waifu up until she cheated because her husband was being cold. Fuck her.
Also

Reincarnation is bad, so the void has to be good.
She pretty much destroyed their relationship so he wouldn't go crazy from murdering both her and his unborn child.

Reaching Nirvana is the main point of Buddhism, not some enigmatic void.

I just wanna see the bartender and assistant dance all the time
>>119609273
Nips want to be reincarnated. Just not as animals or something.
>>119609667
We've already been through this, the void mentioned in the show has nothing to do with the void in Buddhism.
I think we can all agree this means unborn fetuses are not people since they obviously can't be judged by god, therefore abortion is not murder.
>>119609793
>Nirvana
So Nirvana is not being reborn and it's not nothingness, what is it?
>>119609898
That's some gold medal mental gym shit nigga
>>119608649
There's no heaven and hell in Buddhism, there's nirvana and reincarnation. In Christianity, you go to heaven for doing good things and to hell for doing bad things. In Buddhism, you reach nirvana by getting rid of your desires and reincarnate if you weren't able to do that.
You shouldn't compare them because the point of these concepts is completely different.
>>119609898
An unborn soul can not be judged since there is not yet anything to judge.
There is no reason for it to come to the bar or anything.
>>119609981
Since Takashi was filled with anger and Machiko was at peace (she was obviously lying about her cheating) does this means he went for reincarnation and Machiko is in the Void?
>>119609898
Of course the fetus couldn't be judged, how would it even throw darts?

Lolibraid uses "kuu" for the Void here, right? Can't really into moon, but I think that's also synonymous with Heaven/Sky as well for the Japanese.
Japanese culture is probably a lot more relevant to the show than all the Hindu and Buddhist symbolism.
So, the Old Man went to the void and the Young Man reincarnated right?
Does that mean that the winner can either go to the void or reincarnate?
>>119609981
There IS hell in japanese buddhism
I'd probably pick being a spooky ghost in the void over reincarnation. Living once was already bad enough.
>>119610178
Get your ears checked
>>119610325
idk, man. Living is pretty good
>>119610178
Check the archive, it was specifically stated that "kuu" wasn't used.

>>>/v/
>>119610561
They're being cryptic, obviously.
Although I believe she cheated on him because he was being cold towards her, I'm not sure when it happened. She had her ring in the flashback so it was obviously after the wedding. If it was because he was being cold towards her that would imply some time must was passed between marriage and cheating if she really did love him. Then we have pregnancy which happened before the marriage (if we follow the flashbacks).
So if wife is to be trusted 10 weeks passed between pregnancy start and their "honeymoon" death trip, during which they married, he was cold to her and she cheated on him because of it.
How plausible is that? Am I missing something?
>>119607921
>>119608057
>>119608083
>>119608729
She got pregnant, she married, she go in honeymoon (10 weeks baby). If she really cheated at that time it makes her a horrible woman.
But for me she only take the blame on her for saving husbando. They guy needed a redemption at last. She was a nice waifu.
>>119610671
Reposting.
The elevators were at first referred to as Heaven (天国) or Hell (地獄). These are specifically Heaven and Hell as everyone knows them. Although in Shinto, only the gods live in Heaven, EVERYONE else goes to Hell. Like in Dragon Ball Z. Technically you go to Hell but there's a nice part of Hell where Goku goes and the really shitty part of Hell where Freiza lives. Also it's the same as Greek Mythology where the underworld has the Fields of Asphodel.
I'm guessing they're using the Christian versions for this show (these words in Japanese are also used to refer to Christian heaven or hell). So Heaven=good and Hell=bad
Later Decim refers to them as Reincarnation (転生) and Void （虚無）. Reincarnation is reincarnation as anyone knows it, but Void isn't the one that Buddhism uses, Buddhism refers to the Void as Kuu (空). This Void （虚無） specifically refers to literal nothingness. Like pre Big Bang nothingness. It's also used to refer to Nihilism which is the belief that life is meaningless in a bad way. Buddhism often does get mixed up with Nihilism but it really isn't the same thing. And I really don't want to get into this part so lets just skip it.
So what ultimately happened to Michiko, like everything, is ambiguous. We need to wait for the show to explain what the Void is. The Void is probably if anything, a special anime only thing. Like the thing behind the bar could be the Void for all we know, it was pretty spooky.
>[FFF] Death Parade - 01 [354391BE].mkv
>>119606107
So Takashi was in the elevator with the happy looking face, and Machiko was in the elevator with the evil looking face, so is reincarnation considered good and the void bad?
>>119610724
dat posture
>>119610724
If it weren't for that flashback she would be saint.
>>119610784
Not a show you want to watch subbed by people doing it by ear I think. At least funi gets the script.
>OVA calls doors heaven and hell
>episode 1 calls doors reincarnation and void
So which is it, mr. Subber?
>>119606107
Im telling you guys there's prob more to why Machiko was sent to the void.If it was that one time cheating im sure her trying to stop his mind from breaking at the end would have redeemed her but it didn't,there has to be more that shes done maybe she didn't even wanna get married.
>>119610724
Happened or not that is up to you.
Before the last shot she said she never lied. Husband pushed her.
>>119606107
I honestly thought this was Takeshi looking through her phone.
And that she was upset because she knew he didn't trust her at that point.
Her being able to say that "there was someone else I loved" was just her way of saying that she loved who she thought Takeshi was.
Which was the reason why she able to ascend while he had to suffer again and reincarnate, especially after seeing his true colors.
So the switching of the masks above the elevator were intentional right?
>>119610724
What's to say this is not the guy's vision of what she is feeding him?
>>119606107
I didn't get this, I thought one gets sent to heaven and one gets sent to hell. Also, I thought the girl was being sent to heaven. How is the void heaven?
>>119611065
>you will never be this retarded
>>119610878
The show switched it, not the sub.
>>119610805
Those are Noh masks. One is a female mask, another one is Hannya.
>>119610846
They also fuck it up, same as everything their translators touch.
>>119609981
Hell does exist in Buddhism. The world of Buddhism consists of multiple realm, and Hell is some sort of in-between place where you go to after passing on, gets judged and punished for your wrong-doings, then gets sent back to the cycle. The place that you get yourself landed into is based on the accumulation of the bad and good things you've done in all of your past lives. The exception to this is of course the Nirvana where you are accepted into due to enlightenment, and this of course also takes account the selves in all previous reincarnation.
In the case of the bitch in this episode, she should have been a fucking saint in the life before for her to get off this easy with cheating and lying to her husband till the very end. If she was actually enlightened enough to go to the void, she would have to tell him the truth of everything.
>>119611228
I hate them for how they slaughter the video/audio. But the translations weren't any worse in the few I bothered to compare.

No, she's now a tormented soul in the void.

Why do guys say the wife was at peace/enlightened if she lied? Lying means there are something that you want to gain from it, meaning desires.
>501 points
>seven darts
Nips can't get their shit right for once.
Even if you place all 7 darts on the treble 20, you still would have only 420 points.
Should've been at least 4 shots (12 darts) since I doubt they can do the nine-dart finish, though it'd be awesome if he pulled a Phil Taylor at the end with a 60, 57 and 24 end.
>>119611985
They explain the rules and points and even bring up that it's impossible at the end of the episode. They knew what they were doing.
>>119612036
Still, fuck them. Should've given at least 9 darts so it was actually possible to reach 501 points.
>>119611985
That's the point of game, who with fewer points is the one whom show kindness.
Evil one could steal all dart and hurt rivals, thus Hannya mask on his door.
>>119611818
well i don't think they were competing to go to hell...
>>119611985
You can steal your opponents darts
You don't actually have to follow all the rules of the game. You can go when it's not your turn, you can steal your opponents darts, Hell I'm surprised they even have the whole stand behind the line rule
>>119612135
>That's the point of game, who with fewer points is the one whom show kindness.
Fewer points = winner.
It's like golf.
But what would happen if someone stole 2 darts from his rival and did a magnificent 9 dart finish?
>Reincarnation is shit
Buddhism please go.
>>119612135
>his door
Well, sorry. it was "her" door at the end.
Is the void heaven or hell?

>Magnificent hell awaiting.
As long as it is not a boring shit hell of Christianity, or the edgy shit hell of Buddhism, I would like to take a look.
>>119612555
It's the same hell rockstars go to. You can spend your time there talking with Freddie or Hendrix and showing off your darts skills for all eternity.
>>119612515
Next episode will probably present another option and provide more details hopefully.
Still saying that if you refuse to play the game you just end up in the bar for eternity or at least until you come to terms with life and the value behind it by watching others

How is nothingness good? To be honest its complete shit. At least life will be better as technology progresses.
>>119612282
reincarnation is a big concept, it's not just "you don't die forever lol", it means you can go as low as being an animal or demon (yeah, by modern times who wouldn't want being a chill cat or chimpanzee or something, but back then it like whoa that's really shit)
>>119610928
just noticed, the wedding ring is on.
>>119612874
Well. There was a belief which "assumes" that your life is pretty much zero-sum game, or a little bit worse than that. So, only way to win is to not play them.

>spent entire life farming rice fields and died from some horrible disease

Nothingness is not exactly nothingness only from our perspective nothingness is nothing. Nothingness is everything and all things, objects, people are nothingness. They are empty, yet do not realize their emptiness thus there is strife. When one realizes that all things are empty they may ascend and achieve eternal bliss
>>119612879

that sounds fucking great

Nothingness doesn't physically exist. Achieving nothingness means becoming one with the world.
What the fuck did the old guy say in the end?
>>119610937
Why would the guy be having a vision of his wife looking regretful? At that point, he was already thinking of her as being a cock loving slut.
>>119613853"I fucked you're waifu"
Conclusions:
>You leave the bar on the same elevator you got in, that is, the masks change, not the elevator you take
>The mask on the elevator you took to get into the bar means nothing
>Human mask means rebirth
>Demon mask means void
>Victorious either chooses if he reincarnates or not, or goes straight to the void (something along the lines of "only those who have no more regrets in life win, so they don't reincarnate")
>>119612874
Nothingness is a 'good end' because it means you don't have to suffer and want and doubt anymore - granted it means there's no joy or happiness or satisfaction either, but if there's nothing that's not going to bother you at all (especially since there's no you either).
Reincarnation is clearly the worse option - sure life comes with it's pleasures, but just being alive means you're constantly struggling to stay in the state of being alive, with constant risk of pain and suffering, and it's guaranteed that you will experience death.
To everyone trying to tie this into actual Buddhism, Shinto, and whatever else - what kind of dingus would write an anime with such blatant limitations? Don't expect this show to have anything beyond real-world-inspired metaphors. It's entertainment and everybody knows it.
>>119614334
Also:
>Death Parade seems to take couples who die at the same time, Billiards doesn't follow this rule
>Young Man won billiards, but probably got reincarnated, as seen by the mask, and Michiko, who also won, went to the void, so it's not a matter of who wins or not, but about his life
>Cheating has nothing to do with it, since the Young Man cheated on his girlfriend, but wanted to atone, while the Old Man had already come in terms with his life, with no regrets
>Michiko seems to have already understood her demise, so that's why she went to the void, whereas Takashi wanted to live more, full of regrets
>the things behind are all dolls
This is what I think at least.
>>119614671
>Billiards doesn't follow this rule
It did, they mention it, two people who die at the same instant.
>>119614671
>They only play the game to be labeled
>"Humans go to Heaven or Hell when they die, but there are many exceptions", this might indicate that Void and Reincarnation are only two exceptions, but there might be a lot of other fates
>>119614748
Sorry, meant to say that Parade seems to indicate only "pairs" who die together go, that is, lovers, friends, couple, while Billiards has unrelated people going there.

>The black hair girl awoke in a place she had no memory of, next to a girl she had never seen before. The girl who couldn't even remember her own name was taken by that girl Nona to Quiendecim, and was informed that she would help her with Nona's work. While watching over the two guests that game to Quindecim, the black hair girl asked Nona the reason behind Quindecim's existence. According to Nona, the game was essential to the "arbitration"...
So next episode we get to find out everything about Quindecim through the girls of the black hair girl who we still don't actually know the name of. Which will ever answer most of our questions or give us even more questions.

Forgot to mention that the game is also predetermined, not random as the roulette implies. And Ginko is a pretty cool guy.
Also, there is another possibility, that the masks and elevators mean fucking nothing, since the lady who works there departed with the old man and the young one and still didn't know which one went to which.

Because if it was her, she'd just lie.
The problem was that he took an out-of-context comment he overheard from one of her friends over the years of loving relationship they shared, as though one was more authentic than the other.
When that's all it takes to shatter your trust in someone completely, you must never have trusted them much to begin with.
>>119615604
If he would ask who Matchy was out of the blue she'd have no reason to lie. She wouldn't know why he's asking as it could be for anything and it's unlikely to think that she'd have a prepared excuse either way.
If he asks very innocently she would tell him who she was and everything would be peachy between them.

He was a child when WW2 ended. In his flashback you can see him with his mom looking at the nuked city.
>>119616057
He was a child in WW2. His flashback shows him being hardly more than a toddler when the bombs dropped. He grew up in 20th-century post-war Japan, which is part of why that even footing rant the young guy made was so relevant.

Yet she found time to cheat on him.
>>119617360
Deleted this post because now Im fairly confident that Im wrong after remembering this >>119617251.
Overall my theory remains similar though. The difference being that Machy wasn't her but really the girl she was talking about.
However with the suspicions he nurtured toward her, her husband started turning into a different man, not the man she married to.
So she ended up cheating like her slut friends, hoping that she would find love again, wich was still painful for her since in the end it was just betraying her husband for sex.
The baby is his, but the person she was mailing to was probably a lover. Basically, by the time they were in that car, their relationship was already over.
She went on her tirade both because of her guilt and to pay him back since in the end she really cheated on him, but also because he never truly trusted and loved her to begin with, wich is why their relation fell apart in the first place and realising that made her snap.
>>119617529
>there are still people who believe she cheated
There are still people who believe she didn't.
>>119617529
The thing is that if the flashback was false, why would she be crying in it ? If it's her husband's delusion, then he can't imagine the slut he married to be crying after cheating on him. It doesn't make any sense.
>>119617184
thank god
>>119617748
>The difference being that Machy wasn't her but really the girl she was talking about.
It could be argued that she was talking about herself and only used the existing friend to cover it up, she was pretty expressionless during the talk, which is something lying people often do.
Also, I don't think she thought anything was wrong with her marriage, she was pretty surprised when he stated his suspicions.
>>119617747

They never needed to hurt anyone, that was the whole point. hey even outright say it, they were never told that they had to throw at the opposite's dart board. They could have swapped places and only hurt themselves, they could have chucked every shot to miss completely and not even aimed at the board at all. Hell, they could even just aim at low scoring peripherals and scrape by without any intense pain or discomfort.
The pain they inflicted, they chose to inflict. That was the point. The guy aimed for his pregnant wife's abdomen on purpose. They weren't driven into a corner and forced to do terrible things, they were just given the tools and told they could go nuts.
>>119617976
He was talking about what he heard during the ceremony, wich would indeed suprise her if she cheated after the wedding since she wouldn't expect him to bring up the wedding.
And she wasn't aware of the suspicions anyway, it's just that because of those her husband started acting differently. Wich is what caused the actual cheating.
When he brings up the nickname, she's indeed surprised if Machy isn't her. Because she just realised the root of his suspicions (wich are clear now since he already blamed her) and that he had no trust in her all along.
And she isn't expression less when she talks about Machida, she actually start reminiscing her friend, and then talking with a determined face, not an expressionless one.

You're not helping your case. Also, the guy's a doctor he probably slaves his ass out.
>>119617529
She did cheat on him, it's confirmed.
She did it AFTER they were married though and not before. Hence why she's wearing the ring.

>8 threads
Are you faggots serious. Theres probably been 8 digimon threads in that time. /a/ is a fast moving board. You should expect more.
>>119618507
They only evidence we have to actually substantiate the cheating is a single contextless shot of her lying in bed next to a man that looks like her husband with messy hair, and it seems out of place with the rest of the story.
It's not surprising that people would be questioning whether we're supposed to take that flashback at face value or not, especially considering nothing else in the episode can be taken at face value.
>>119618343
Their marriage was fucked the moment he completely lost all trust in their relationship based on an out of context conversation he overheard.
>>119618491Or Im wrong and you're right, in that case then it would simply mean that she wasn't able to break it off with her old lover and suffered from it since she loved her husband as well.
>>119618611

I'm tired of discussing this. It might be that you're right, but it just makes it all so... boring and cheap.In my country there's a book called Dom Casmurro, you might be interest in it.
>>119618639
Not really, if he didn't believe it was possible or didn't have other evidence adding up he wouldn't have believed it. She had been cheating for a while since before they were married it seems. Which is why the cheating occurs after the marriage and the phone calls as well, she was in a relationship with someone else.
They died on the honeymoon and he learned of the cheating during the wedding. All of this talk of how the man acting cold drove her to cheat is fucking retarded unless they had a delayed honeymoon which most normal people dont. The guy had like a day or two to cold shoulder her into cheating.
She wasnt drove to cheat. She did it because she could and wanted that doctor cash.
Also ENGAGEMENT rings are not wedding rings. You wear them before the ceremony too. Its like your all 12 or somethin put some thought into your discussions.
The only thing that really bothers me in this story is that she left the phone ringing while they were driving.
This seems like another Hell Girl type of show. Everything is designed to fuck with humans and in the end the entire show is all about humans being shit and deserving everything they get.
>>119618892
Why? Who the fuck answers the phone when they're on their honeymoon.
>>119608729
No, the person talked about was his wife. After winning the game she got overconfident and spilled the beans. She had no friend who also married a doctor. Think about it: what are the odds of having a friend who could have the same diminutive, who also married a doctor not long ago, and who was in the same circle of friends as his wife? She made up the friend and then admitted she lied about it.
>>119618892

There was no engagement ring according to the show though, only the wedding one.
>>119618937
Don't know about you, but when I don't want to answer I decline the call to let the other person know I'm busy and don't keep it ringing.
>>119610743
Thank you, kind sir.
>>119618849
>he learned of the cheating during the wedding.
Except he didn't. The Matchy bit was a red herring. The conversation he overheard actually had nothing to do with his wife, and he simply took it out of context and misconstrued it to mean that his wife had been an adulterous gold digger all along.
She was cheating on him, but the evidence he used to reach that conclusion was entirely unrelated to her actual affair. The premise and conclusion were unrelated, the fact that she actually was cheating on him was entirely coincidental to the evidence he used to conclude that.
>>119618489
Well, that's what I want to say. The game itself is an act of karma, evil deed.
This is the game where you show your true nature. People just confuse with "the void" being good or bad end.
To me, the void with Hannya mask seem not the good ending.
>>119618611
It's definitely not the husband in that pic, he has a more gaunt face and when viewed from the side has cheekbones drawn on and a chin goatee, and it's also in a completely different bedroom.
That's evidence enough that she was infact screwing another.
