| NOW that's a good episode. This is exactly the kind of thing I expected from this anime, thank God they delivered. |

| Wow cant wait for next episode. Those previews:o |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| I wonder how they both wound up dead in their revenge killings |
| A very interesting and dark episode. I honestly love the dark turn this show seems to be taking. It was surprising to find out the detective has killed as well. I suspect that both are intertwined in some way. I'm still curious as to how they died. I seem to remember mentioning this before but damn does this show give off some powerful existential vibes. I always need time to ponder each episode after watching it. Also the ending song is really good! I'm sooo pumped for the next episode! |

| Damn it, I finally caught up with the show and the episode ends in a cliffhanger. *sigh* |

| Seems pretty dull compared to the others, at last for me. Indeed there are those killers but still somehow it doesn't feel right to have two episodes instead of 1. |
| So we have Tatsumi vs Shimada in a game of Air Hockey. Awesome, Onna can receive memories now, but damn, they're both killers! I hope their stories would be intertwined making it more awesome. (^_^) |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |

The waiting is awful. True indeed but at least if if gets you hyped so much for the next episode it means the series itself is well worth it. We all knew episode like that was comming eventually - and oh man it was awesome. |

| Brilliant episode, I love dark ones like this. I don't know what's up with all these complaints, I feel like these characters are very interesting and that this game actually deserves two episodes. Best episode so far in my opinion, the wait will feel so long D: |

| This episode was friggin' awesome! The undertones were so intense and the fact that we ended without concluding the games makes this one of the better episodes for throwing out theories and speculations. Personally, I feel that Shimada actually had something to do with Tatsumi's wife's death. First clue I'm pulling on is that we don't actually know what Shimada's day job is. I get the feeling that despite how this episode tried to paint him in a relatively good light, the clues indicate that he was doing something shady to earn the money to send his sister to school. His sister probably doesn't even know about it, thus the reason why he has to act all nice and well-behaved in front of her. I'm guessing it was his shady dealings that led him to come into contact with Tatsumi's wife. Perhaps he's in a gang, and the boss told him to off her, or perhaps it was a simple burglary job gone wrong. This would also tie in with why his sister got assaulted. Especially if he's got dealings with the underworld, his sister wouldn't be safe if he were exposed for what he did. Tatsumi's flashbacks about him obsessing about crime seems to put him as a workaholic detective. The way his colleagues seemed to turn on him, I would assume it was due to him obsessing over the investigation of his own wife's death. My speculation is this: "Tatsumi was chasing after a gang of yakuzas, of which Shimada was a part of (probably as a petty thief). He thought his investigations were bearing fruit, when he found his wife dead at home. Now I'm going to throw this out there that his wife was actually killed by thieves trying to loot his place. Sort of makes sense because she was killed on the balcony, and it was probably an accident that she saw them and botched the job up. It didn't seem like one of those Yakuza "warnings". In any case, Shimada may or may not have even been a part of the robbery. Anyway, Tatsumi assumes his wife was killed in relation to his investigations, and goes on a rampage to find and kill off every last one of the gang. His investigations lead him to commit several murders, and he gets completely obsessed with his vendetta. Now Shimada may be guilty or innocent of killing the wife, but perhaps due to his involvement with the gang, Tatsumi's revenge led him to stalking and assaulting his sister for information about Shimada's involvement with yakuza (which of course the sister doesn't know about), Tatsumi gets angry and assaults her, whilst revealing her brothers dirty little secrets to her. That could explain her pushing Shimada away when he came home, and also the preview of her in the hospital bed facing away from the camera. Then Shimada, knowing the game is up, and knowing his sister hates him now, decides to track down the detective who basically ruined his sister's face and destroyed his sister's trust in him, as well as his future with his sister, for revenge. Long story short, Shimada finds Tatsumi, they get into a fight involving knives, and after Shimada stabs Tatsumi to death, a dead Tatsumi drags Shimada off a very high place and SPLAT, both die at the same time. Both end up at Decim's bar." Yeah.... that would be my take on what we've seen so far. I do believe that the knife in his bag was used to kill Tatsumi in the end, and maybe even his wife in the botched robbery (maybe she saw him, he panicked, stabbed her and ran away, hence the toilet bowl scene), and if Tatsumi ever saw the knife, all his memories would flood back and shit would hit the fan immediately. My brain is over-analyzing.... Next episode hurry up! |

| Finally Death Parade gets good again. Was really disappointed with the predictability and lameness of the series post episode 1. This episode was exciting, kept me on edge and left us guessing the entire time. Hopefully they continue the remaining season on this note. |

| love Air hocky :) Amazing episode and the story continue to next episode, I wonder what their conection and what exactly happend, cant wait.......... 5/5 |
 |
| The preview was purely awesome! it's like the stance of the two of them are getting ready for a showdown! |
 |
| Wow ... what an episode! Kept us guessing the entire time and it looks like it's going to continue on to next week's as well. Man, what a cliffhanger! D: Definitely thought Shimada was the killer with the knife and all ... but wow, then it turns out THEY BOTH ARE! Who woulda thought! I quite like Tatsumi, but it seems like he had quite the rough life ... hard-working detective only to come home to find his wife murdered O_O That person in the picture sure looked like Shimada too ... well, he's taking care of his little sister who was beat up pretty badly :S I'm not surprised HE got driven to murder from that .. well, I guess they both were. Dang, now I wonder what happened ... I thought for a while their pasts were related somehow (that picture) but I couldn't figure out how Tatsumi was involved with Sae or something, for example? In any case, really wanna see how this ends next week! :O Oh and it seems like Assistant girl got a taste of memories and the "mind of a killer" as well ... huh, interesting they gave them to her! |

This episode was exciting, kept me on edge and left us guessing the entire time. Hopefully they continue the remaining season on this note. Predictability? I doubt it was all so predictable to you or to anyone else. Basically because Decim's judgments are not supposed to be perfect... he did botched it couple times. Or you were expecting that too? Besides. What the fuck is the issue with stuff being predictable? Here's the news: every action has consequnces, if these consequences were not PREDICTABLE, then they would defy logic and/or common sense. So far, this has been one of my favorite shows of all time. Its well written, mysterious, dark while managing to be funny at times too. And gives me stuff to think about. While providing like-able characters. |

| Definitely the best episode so far imo. Excellent plot, and plenty of stuff to think about. Glad it's heading in this direction. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| This is quite interesting, I wanna know their story. |
| >Takahiro Sakurai gets role >2-cour episode |
| for the first time i'm looking forward to the next episode from Death parade! |
Furuhashi said: >Takahiro Sakurai gets role >2-cour episode Two-part not 2cour |
 |
| Even though it didn't finish this episode, I thought the pace was just right. So what then? They killed each other? Or they're after the same guy? They didn't need to tell us they were both killers, we already figured that out. |
  |
| This kinda struck me when I watch the episode, since they are going to be reincarnated, is there a point picking out the better one out of both? They won't retain the same personality and attitude after their rebirth anyway. o_o Anyway pretty decent episode for once, mainly because it's a 2-parter. |

| And we have to wait another week to find out where the hell these murderers will go. ... My favorite. |

| Omg awesome episode! So both of the guys are killers, definitely excited to see how this ends for both of them and where they end up. Gonna check out the next episode now and see more about their pasts. |
| It turned out that both of them are killers. Shimada's sister was assaulted by a stalker, while Tatsumi's wife was murdered. I can't blame their plan to revenge though, although it's not the best thing to do when your loved ones are killed or hurt. Cliffhanger. |
 |
| Wow I was not expecting Death Parade to leave off on a cliffhanger. Even more surprising to find out both of them were murderers. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Boring. |
  |
| Epic episode! I'm loving this little arc. Its great to have a game going again haha. |
| Wow this episode struck me deep. I had to feel for both people and their will to exact vengeance. I'm hoping the two have no relation to each other or else things could go messy. |
| WHY THE CLIFFHANGER |
 |
| Didn't expect Shimada to be 22 to be honest. I thought he was a high-schooler. Both of them lost someone precious to them AND both of them are killers (I considered that, actually) Why do I have this bad feeling that both of them have something to do with each other? I sure hope not. |
 |
| I figured Shimada was the killer before the knife was shown, but I didn't expect the same with the detective. Now I wonder how they died.. |
 |
| Both of them are killers. Thought so. Maybe they killed each other hahahha |
 |
| Got a good laugh when Tatsumi said he was a detective. He looked like he could have been a yakuza boss at first glance. Gotta say I'm glad this turned out to be two episodes, this one is hella intense and the characters' situations are both very intriguing. With the way their stories are building up, I wonder if they're both killers. Edit: Oh whoops, didn't even watch the end part yet. Now it's a no brainer, that vision of their memories was fierce. |

| This became really intense! :D chakracat said: This is why waiting for a series to end might be better.FUCK IT DIDN'T FINISH FUCK FUCK FUCK I don't wanna wait another week |
 |
| Very impressive episode! Really looking forward to see what happens next. |
 |
| The air is again made heavy; the fact of knowing that one of them was a murderess had induced me to quickly find the culprit. But the final twist makes me even more anxiety on him, because of the fact that I want to know how we will judge the two hours given their identical situation; I quiver. Fortunately, this time the story has been divided in two parts, less bad emotions are softened a bit though it seems counterintuitive, given the former words. Curious to know how it is possible for the girl read the memories that are a prerogative of the judges. Compelling episode overall. |
 |
| I feel like the two are linked to each others murders, might be wrong. Pretty intense if you ask me. Also the first story that didnt end in 1 episode. |

 |
| This getting good. I was thinking the old guy would be the killer. but that seemed too obvious. The other guy had to be one too. Well the ending does give it away that both are. If in the end it is just one I think the detective is the "good one" and didn't. I have a bad feeling about the other guy and his sister. Maybe he didn't treat her right to begin with. |
 |
| I bet the younger guy killed the detective's wife because no one lifted a finger to help his sister. First I thought maybe the detective assaulted the girl and then the younger guy killed his wife. |
