Death Parade

[shinta|hikari]

You should not base your judgment on momentary emotions. You are supposed to base them off a combination of everything, including the memories. Decim made that call also because he knew the woman cheated. He even said so himself, when he was surprised when the assistant claimed that the child was genuinely the dude's. Even the woman probably did not know whose it was, but in the end regretted her affair. You are trying to limit Decim's decision to one reason when we, the audience, really have no way to tell if that is the case. The parts where he reacted not only to the outburst but also to all the actions AND the memories of the couple beforehand strongly suggest he considered far more than just the woman's act.

EDITED OUT: Rewatched it and realized I misheard it the first time.

I am personally with Decim on this one. The girl had an affair, and that ruined their lives. Just because the woman wanted to save her husband from the suffering of killing his own child by accident (after knowing they are already dead - this is important because she has nothing to lose, the assistant even commented that it was a final act to preserve their memories) does not erase her sin. However, I would probably have sent both of them to the void because the dude was an ass during the game, even before he remembered his wife's cheating.
