00:01Have fun! See you later!
00:21Hello, Nona. Thank you for bringing her by.
00:24Hello, and welcome to the Quindecim.
00:26My name is Decim. I'm the bartender here.
00:30Hey, it's nice to meet you.
00:32So, uh, what is this place?
00:34This is where the deceased come first.
00:36The deceased? Dead people, you mean?
00:39Right. Two deceased will be coming here shortly.
00:42We're going to ask them to play a game on which their lives are staked.
00:47Okay.
00:48We're here to pass judgment on the deceased based on their memories.
00:51We also consider the humanity they exhibit during their time here with us.
00:55As you will see, we function as arbiters.
00:59Arbiters, uh...
01:01Hey, it seems like this is coming as sort of a surprise to you.
01:07Anyway, the deceased will arrive here, but before they do,
01:10their memories are all compiled together and sent to the arbiters.
01:14Compiled how?
01:16Let's see, what's the best way to describe it?
01:18It's kind of like a kaleidoscope of images. That make sense?
01:23More or less.
01:26Does this mean... am I...
01:28Just a sec, okay?
01:29Quinn, we're ready.
01:31Roger that, Nona. Sending memories right now.
01:43Things should start moving along swiftly.
01:45Now, Deckham, if you don't mind...
01:48As you wish, ma'am.
01:50Well, are you coming?
01:56Excuse me.
01:58Hmm?
01:59What about me? What exactly do I do here?
02:02Oh, I'm sorry. Did I forget to tell you?
02:05You're here as an assistant.
02:15This is us.
02:26No!
02:29They're just dummies. It's Deckham's little hobby.
02:32Don't let them get to you.
02:34Those are really creepy.
02:36A pretty revolting hobby, isn't it?
02:40The real action is out there,
02:42where Deckham is in the process of persuading our guests to play a game.
02:46Back in the bar?
02:47Yes. Eyes forward, please.
02:50And I'll need you to sit very still.
02:52Oh.
02:56Today's performance will be starring these two.
02:59That's Takashi and Machiko.
03:02A couple that's newly wed and newly dead.
03:11Those two are dead?
03:13Not that they're aware of it, of course.
03:15The shock of dying tends to make people forget.
03:18And for now, that's the way we want to keep it.
03:20Why is that?
03:21Well, if they knew that they were dead,
03:23I doubt they'd stake their lives on a game.
03:27Why would they anyway? That kind of bet doesn't seem worth making.
03:30True, and normally they wouldn't.
03:32We have to do a little convincing.
03:34How?
03:35By making them think their lives are at a greater risk if they don't play.
03:38That's what's going on right now.
03:40So all this is to intimidate them into playing?
03:43Yes, exactly. So sit still.
03:46Let's just do what he says for now.
03:48Who knows what'll happen if we don't?
03:50Who knows what'll happen if we don't? The guy's clearly unbalanced.
04:01Intimidation successful.
04:04I don't understand. Why go to such lengths?
04:09It's necessary to reach the right verdict.
04:12Accurately reading people can require extreme conditions.
04:16In this case, that means having them risk their lives on some contest.
04:19Well, that does sound extreme.
04:21Like I said, it's designed to be.
04:23The whole idea is to create severe tension, mental and emotional for the most part.
04:28Okay, on to the next phase.
04:32Wait a second.
04:34What now?
04:35Why do this when you already know their whole life story?
04:38Because we can't accurately judge people on their memories alone.
04:42They must be made to expose the darkest parts of their being,
04:45so the Arbiters can come to know the whole person.
04:48Only then can we judge them and decide their fates.
04:51One game can do all that?
04:53Still not convinced, are you?
04:56Do you happen to know what the most primitive emotion human beings experience is?
05:02I don't.
05:04Fear, my dear.
05:12The mannequins that are in here are all dressed up.
05:14That's not important right now.
05:16Why don't you look down there instead?
05:19So they have to play darts?
05:21This time anyway.
05:30Machiko!
05:31No, it's impossible.
05:32What happened?
05:33This game does involve some physical pain.
05:36How?
05:37He hit the shoulder area of the target, so Machiko's shoulder started to hurt.
05:42How is that possible?
05:45Baby, does it really hurt?
05:49I'd say that one was the lungs.
05:51In this game, the players throw seven darts at two targets,
05:54the areas of which are linked to parts of their bodies.
05:57Almost as if they were being made to stab each other.
06:01This is going too far.
06:03You'll get used to it soon enough.
06:09Oh, I get it.
06:10They can just miss.
06:12Dekum tipped them off to that, but it's really not that simple.
06:16Why?
06:17Look at the scores.
06:22If they keep on missing like this, Machiko will be the winner.
06:25That's fine, isn't it?
06:27From where you're sitting, maybe it is, but not for the ones who are playing the game.
06:31They think whoever loses stands a chance of being killed.
06:34But nobody ever said...
06:36True enough. Nobody said it.
06:38But really, what are they supposed to think?
06:43The mind is very susceptible to such suggestions.
06:46Nobody wants to do something that will lead to their own death.
06:50It goes against human programming.
06:56No!
06:57Oh God, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, my hand slipped!
07:00There, did you see that?
07:02That was intentional?
07:03It certainly seemed like it was.
07:05But we can only be sure about their memories.
07:07Things that happen here are open to interpretation.
07:09We don't know what their motives are.
07:11So, it's just a hunch?
07:13Well, an outsider might call it that.
07:16But these judgments require experience and the ability to observe,
07:20which we arbiters have.
07:26My eyes!
07:29People are fascinating, don't you think?
07:31Even after all I've seen, there are still so many things I don't know about how the mind works.
07:37Oh, by the way, it might be useful to know how they died.
07:41They got into a car accident while they were on their honeymoon,
07:44because Takashi thought Machiko was a cheater.
07:47That's terrible.
07:51It's your child.
07:53Why didn't you say something?
07:55I was going to. I wanted to surprise you during our trip.
07:59I haven't told anybody yet.
08:01I wanted you to be the first one to know.
08:04I'm glad I was.
08:06I'm so happy, honey.
08:10I can't believe I'm finally going to be a father.
08:28Their memories are beginning to return.
08:30What?
08:31It's set up so that they're stimulated as the game goes on.
08:34We have no way of knowing what they're going to remember,
08:37but it will have to do with their deaths.
08:40These are things they've forgotten due to the shock of dying.
08:43We have to evoke them...
08:46forcibly.
08:57Congratulations. You are the winner, Machiko.
09:01And with that, the game is officially at an end.
09:04If you would both please move over this way.
09:06Just a minute! Please! One more throw! Just one!
09:11There's no point!
09:12What?
09:13Stop.
09:15There's no point to any of it.
09:18What do you mean?
09:19Hey, bartender.
09:22We're already dead now, aren't we?
09:25Yes. I'm afraid you have both left the land of the living.
09:28Following their deaths, people are either sent to heaven or to hell.
09:33People really go to heaven or hell?
09:35Well, that's what we tell them because it's an easy concept to comprehend.
09:38More precisely, the options are reincarnation and the void.
09:42Reincarnation and the void?
09:45If reincarnated, their soul will return to inhabit another person's body.
09:49But if they are sent to the void,
09:51then their soul is lost and they plunge into darkness.
09:56That's what the judgment is for.
09:58To determine what happens to their souls.
10:00That's the heart of what we arbiters do.
10:04Welcome to the tribunal of the soul.
10:07It's not my child!
10:10What? Whose do you think it is exactly?
10:13Somebody else's! Please! It has to be!
10:18Takashi! Please!
10:26I love you, Machiko.
10:28And I'll make you the happiest woman alive.
10:31I promise that. Just say you'll marry me.
10:36Yes. Of course I'll marry you.
10:44You know, you're actually right for once.
10:47I'm sorry.
10:49I'm sorry.
10:51I'm sorry.
10:52You know, you're actually right for once.
10:56Yeah. I'm in love with somebody else.
11:05I mean, it's obvious, isn't it?
11:07Did you actually think somebody would ever fall in love with you?
11:11What are you, a complete idiot?
11:13I didn't want anything but your money!
11:16You mean, you were lying? You really were making it all up?
11:19Of course I was lying, moron! I mean, your child!
11:25Dirty bitch! I'll teach you!
11:29Thank you for playing. Best of luck on your journey.
11:43Not a bad job there, Deku.
11:45Thank you. I did my best.
11:48What did you think about it?
11:51It was pretty awful.
11:54You will get used to it.
11:58So where did each of them end up going, then?
12:00I'm guessing Takashi's soul was sent for reincarnation and Machiko's was sent into the void.
12:05Yes.
12:06Oh, I see.
12:10Maybe you can clear something up for me?
12:18Basically, you think Machiko did have a man on the side?
12:22Yes.
12:25It doesn't look like you're convinced about that.
12:28No, not quite. I mean, it could have been just a one-time thing, right?
12:39It could. But what would make you think that?
12:43A hunch.
12:45It's just a hunch. Something was bothering her the whole time.
12:51We know she was pregnant, but who was the father? I'd say Takashi.
12:55Really? But she said herself that it belonged to somebody else.
12:59Yes, except, do you remember her face when she said it? I'm pretty sure she was actually lying.
13:05About the baby? I don't understand. What would be the reason to do that?
13:09The lie was a gift for Takashi. It was the only way remaining that she could help him.
13:13What do you mean? Help him how?
13:16He was tortured by guilt and grief over killing his own child.
13:19But if the child didn't belong to him, then maybe it wouldn't hurt quite so much.
13:30Her outburst, it was all an act?
13:33That's my theory, yes.
13:38That's incomprehensible. Why? Why do that when they were already dead?
13:44I think it's because they were dead that changed things.
13:50I'm only guessing about this, but when she knew they were about to be separated for good,
13:55maybe that was her way of being true to herself and her feelings.
13:59You've lost me. What feelings?
14:01How are you not getting this? Her feelings for Takashi.
14:07Oh, I see. You're talking about love.
14:10Then, most likely...
14:12Yeah, you have to admit, though, Machi really does play to win.
14:16Machi? Do they mean Machiko?
14:19If he hadn't gotten the wrong idea, things would have ended differently.
14:24They probably would have had a happy life together.
14:27Do you think it's true? Was my judgment incorrect?
14:31Occasionally, we make mistakes.
14:33People can have surprising motivations and unique ways of expressing their emotions.
14:38As an Arbiter, you can't afford to brush things off.
14:41Yes, I'm terribly sorry.
14:44Don't forget this.
14:45Yes, ma'am.
14:46Good. Now make me the usual.
14:48Yes, right away.
14:50Don't forget this.
14:51Yes, ma'am.
14:52Good. Now make me the usual.
14:54Yes, right away.
15:12So this is your usual drink?
15:14Give it a try. You're very good.
15:15Good just as delicious as always
15:24You weren't kidding this is good. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy it
15:31That's all he's good for drinks and seriousness, there's not much to deck him besides that well
15:37There's the mannequin hobby, but I don't think that's something you forget. No, you really don't
15:45Well, I trust you can take it from here wait, I'm confused what do I do?
15:51Hmm well just what you've been doing
16:03So, how did she do not a bad showing I would say, huh, what is it?
16:11It's just that you're not usually so positive about them
16:15a
16:18Happy life, huh?
16:21Machi do they mean Machiko? That wasn't just a simple misunderstanding
16:30It was more than that
16:33Takashi was a person who couldn't trust anybody. I don't see how he could ever have found happiness
16:38I
16:42Actually take back what I said what she still has a way to go yet
16:52You're very insightful I look forward to working together
16:55Thanks, I do too. And also I'd like to apologize for earlier
16:59Why I made a mistake. I have respect for people who have lived a fulfilling life in this instance
17:06I did not act as befitted an arbiter
17:11Hey Deccan
17:13One more thing. Yes. What is it?
17:17I'm empty think you could make me another one
17:22It would be my pleasure
17:36Oh
18:06I'm not
18:37Oh
18:44Yes, I see
18:46Excellent. Thank you very much
18:48Yes, don't worry. I get it. The term is only for three months
19:06You
