There aren’t any reactions for these two VAs, but I did notice that Youske’s VA is the main character from Bleach. Also Misaki’s VA has a fairly popular One Piece character named Nico Robin. (Haven’t watched it.) To me, this episode was pretty cut and dry from the start. Let’s think about this - when, if ever, did Misaki ever try to take responsibility for her own actions? She slept around, carelessly had kids she clearly didn’t dote on, and pretty much always tried to put the focus on her and shift the blame elsewhere. You interpreted the situations she was in when she started getting memory flashes as her being abused, but I took it as she was being so selfish that everyone else lost their temper and patience with her. Especially when it seemed to be happening in front of the kids. When she first gets here, she immediately took Youske into the restroom and asked him what he knew about her. Then she went to “how can I use this to make me look good?” She got really upset when Youske was trying to play to make throwing the second game look like it wasn’t intentional, and then when Decim used his remote she bashed his head in and tried to win when her opponent was unconscious. She blames everyone else deceiving her for how she ended up with five children. I’m sorry, but you’d think you’d learn a thing or two after the first couple of times. “It’s not my fault I got pregnant again when I didn’t want to,” is the inference. Finally, she begs Decim to send her back to her own children - not because she cares about them - she’s using them to try to curry a sense of guilt with Decim, who , remember does not have human emotions. “You can’t separate me from my children!” Funny how you never bothered with them while you had the chance to be with them, only when it benefitted you. As for Youske, I think ge had a birth mom who despised him but he couldn’t hate her - and the fact someone else tried to take her place broke his brain and he ended up killing himself. So why did he get the other option? He felt complete remorse for how he acted and wanted forgiveness, while she just wanted to not bear the consequences of her own actions again. One wanted to atone for their actions and felt sorry for the people they hurt because of it. The other did not, and only cared about herself. That’s my interpretation. It’s a little harsh, but life after death can be a cold reality on this show. Case closed, that’s my two cents. 😎 (Hey, I wonder if you should start pausing when Decim goes to the “All right off you go” shot in front of the elevator and guessing what the verdict is - it might be a fun little mini game on this show. Unless of course, we’re about to make a swerve story wise… 👀

Hi Melissa, I'm finally back with my comments for Death Parade. I had such a good time at your place and I'm looking forward to commenting on your reactions again. I have a few things to say about this episode as it was really interesting and you can interpret and analyze Decim's decision in different ways. First, I'll start with my analysis of Misaki. This thing is quite tricky because one cannot for sure define good and evil. From an empathic person's point of view, both deserved to go to "Heaven". Misaki went through difficult situations in her life, shaping her in the current person she was right now. This thing which you may call "evil" consumed her, making her react the way she did. She feared for her life, humans most primal urge is survival. She did all she could in order to survive. I believe she had her reasons, she was FORCED to be into that position. Now, from a more logical point of view, she deserved to go to "Hell" because of the way she behaved towards her assistant and her children. In the flashbacks, it mostly looked like her children didn't like her very much and that she often neglected her children, because we saw the youngest child crying and she didn't take care of that. The kids probably had to look after themselves a lot. I think the TV show she then had with her family was more of a fake family that she built up to have a good image and to lie to herself that she was a good mother. Although I think she knew very well that she couldn't actually take good care of her children. But it looks like she didn't really do anything to improve the situation. She only realized how much she needed and loved her family when she was faced with her death, when she was playing for her life. Misaki faced unfairness in life, and dealt with it badly by shifting hurt onto other people. She slapped the assistant the same way others slapper her, to the point where it drove her to murder. If such a person is reincarnated, they'll face unfairness once again (life is unfair, no matter who you are) and again she'll deal with it badly and shift both the blame and the hurt onto others. That's why I think Decim was justified in sending Misaki to hell. But I think it's nice to see that he still shows sympathy for her and is there for the people and all that. He then learns bit by bit how to deal with human emotions. I also have a few things to say about Yousuke. 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.

Hey Leonie, yay!!!!!!! I did too!! I'm happy you're enjoying my Death Parade reactions :) This is exactly how I felt about the mom - her early life shaped her and put her in a position where she'd do anything she had to to survive. But yet she wasn't a very good person to anyone around her, even her kids. The show felt really fake for sure. Sadly she doesn't really realize their importance to her until this moment, like you said. I think you're right that hell/void seems like a good decision here, but I love that Decim isn't without emotion about it! Ohhh good call that he was actually talking about the mom, not the stepmom! It is sad that he couldn't open up to the stepmom because of all those issues. Yeah he definitely seemed regretful!! He's definitely more sympathetic than the mom lol, despite the fact that he regrets the mistakes he made!

The mom definitely didn't take responsibility for her actions, but I have a hard time looking at the abuse from her boyfriends/SO's as her fault. I think she made poor choices her whole life, endured abuse, and took those experiences and took them out on others. So yeah, she's at fault for sure. She was for sure irresponsible and tried to blame everything on others. And she didn't stop to think about her kids much until it was too late. The guy on the other hand really did seem sorry and definitely didn't put as much negativity into the world as the mom did. Self-centeredness does seem to be the key difference here - I guess you could say the guy was consumed by his own problems to a degree, but nothing like what the mom was like. At this rate I'll do my best to remember any viewing suggestions but no promises. :)

I think the mother element to both was that much of a coincidence but who knows. It’s hard not to feel for the woman. Stuff like that ultimately makes you who you are; or at least it shows in your personality. It’s so sad that even though the kids are hurting because of her chaotic choices, would she be this messed up if she were shown something else. She was a teenager who ran with the wrong people and it turned everything wrong. Divorce is hard. And it’s sad that step mom was really sweet. It makes you think of how one’s grand problems can seem so trivial in the long run. The divorce hit him hard but a small amount of love could have spared his life. I honestly don’t know and again I feel like Decim is realizing things as we go along. I could be wrong but it seems to me like he’s trying to play his role by the books as best he can yet this one also had him looking intensely at their realization.

Yeah the fact that they both had to do with moms was interesting! I know, that's the sad part, like I feel for what she went through, but her kids had no choice over their lives and they suffered because of her choices. It is hard, and the step mom seemed really awesome! Oof, you said it - a small amount of love could've spared his life :( Yeah I think Decim is kinda putting together the idea of human emotion as he goes along....it's not that he doesn't feel anything, I think he just has a lot to learn!
