No shit Sherlock, it's reincarnation or void. The spelled this out already.

>>120830969
We already know this

You are wrong.

That's not how burden of proof works anyways

There, proven.

Words 02 - Reincarnation and the Void

These are where souls that have been judged go.
Once the deceased have been judged after playing one of many games, they are escorted to two side-by-side doors, each containing a customers-only elevator leading to reincarnation or the void.
The "White Noh Mask" and the "Hannya Mask" are displayed above the elevator doors, and reveal where the souls are headed. Once the souls of the deceased have made their journey, their bodies take the form of dolls.
Those who are reincarnated may live anew in the present day, but those sent to the void are cast into the graveyard of souls.
Souls cast into the Void are left with their negative emotions and consciousness intact, and remain in nothingness for all eternity.

>>120830969
This is literally stated by one of the characters.
I bet you're one of those retards who comes here bitching about plot holes in an anime after not paying attention to half the things being said.

>>120831500
No, i just wanted to star a thread.

>>120832166
Next time do us both a favor and make your thread at Reddit or Myanimelist

>>120832277
Sounds like you have experience in those places

>>120831380
I wish they didn't decide to make the void such an awful place. It just makes everything worse.

>>120832436
It truly does. I'm just going to assume that isn't a thing until proven otherwise.

>>120832436
>the void such an awful place
Isn't supposed to be a neutral place? Only bad for the jerks?

What did the old man say to decim, /a/?

>>120830969
it's literally explained in the second episode.

I frankly thought it was stupid for them to clarify since it makes it look like your generic anime.

>>120832528
But they only send people that have their heart filled with darkness down there.

Viewers can't deal with "show not tell"

>>120833301
That's not the problem.

The real issue is "people don't think".

I thought it was meant to be just having your conciousness erased completely like the name implies, but from the description it sounds basically like a tamer hell.

>>120833552
So are the wires, when they penetrate your butt.

>>120833625
You sure took this matter at heart.

I want to be hugged by decim

>>120832816
the first lady was a mistake, but considering she felt guilty for her betrayal she's still probably not very fine down there.

>>120833514

I think that's just how Decim rolls, with his hobby being that puppet fetish and all.
She might have other tricks up her sleeve.

Do I need to watch Death Billiards before this or no?

I just want more of Onna's story. She's quite clearly not like the others. Is she in training to become an arbitrator? Has she be brought in to help provide some understanding of humanity to the people at the bar? is she just someone who came to Quindecim under unusual circumstances, with the arbitrators deciding to take her in?

>>120833927
The mistake was sending Takashi to reincarnate. Michiko was a lying bitch who never once told the truth to her husband.

>>120833452
That's bull, not human.

isn't the actual problem that with their system they should have already filtered out all the "bad" souls?

>>120835126
What if all souls turn bad at one point.
Like all souls are created pure good but as a sideffect of living they get less and less good.

In this system, the Quindecim and other bars are acting as some kind of filtration system.
It also suppose that new souls are constantly being created.

>>120835126
Every time one is reincarnated they lose all memories of who they were, after being reborn they will have different life experiences that will change/determinate who they are and how they handle things.

i think their system is seriously flawed
what if both souls are entirely evil, what if both are good?, do they just void the slightly worse soul? or can they void both / reincarnate both?

>>120835220
>It also suppose that new souls are constantly being created.
This is the right choice.
The population of the world keeps growing and around half of the souls get thrown into oblivion, so there's that.

>>120835295
What is the point in discussing the show if you're not even paying attention?

>>120835295
Watch ep 3.

>>120835298
Yeah, not to mention that there doesn't seem to be any karma across reincarnations and the policy seems to be "fuck up in one life and into the void it goes", which means that in the long run pretty much everybody will end up in the void

>>120835342
>>120835343
you wot m80
they just voided one entirely at random

>>120835295
On ep3 they reincarned both, so...

>>120835271

That sounds pretty dumb, if you just get constantly reincarnated until you inevitably end up permanently in the void then what's the point of the entire process? It would make more sense if souls carry some form of "good" or "evil" across with them, and that new souls are being churned out all the time so you theoretically end up filtering out the garbage.

>asking what the point of judgement after death is
News flash: Religion is stupid.

I'm not sure I understand what theological framework the show is working off of.

Reincarnation is a big part of Buddhism, but it's not strictly a reward. It's used to punish as well as reward, but in a way being reincarnated in the first place is a kind of failure. It means you didn't achieve enlightenment and so you have to go back and live once more until you can learn to live your life correctly.

To that end, banishing people into the void doesn't really serve a purpose, people who are wicked are also reincarnated, but they are moved down the hierarchy of life. So a horrible person might be reincarnated as a flea or something. And until they live a good life as a flea, being the best flea ever, they won't move up the hierarchy to reach humanity again.

>>120835449
please see
>>120835443

>>120835389
But with all the buddhist/induist symbolism (Buda, the flower, Vishnu) the rencarnation should be the "hell"

>>120835565
>>120835609
What if it's not Buddhism?

would you bully an autistic arbiter?

>>120835531

If the show can't get its internal logic sorted out then it's not intelligent or deep, it's just stupid. We're only three episodes in so maybe they'll sort their shit out, but I'm not hopeful.

I'm enjoying the show despite my misgiving though.

>>120835746

>>120831380
>combine Sheol and Saṃsara

Pretty fucking shit I tell you what. The sentiments expressed by both religions on the place of Death in life are wholly incompatible.
Billiards is so much better for not being explicit.

What do you think the odds are that the arbiters are themselves being misled as to the purpose of the system.

>>120835609
buddhist symbolism =/= buddhism or else every anime with a fucking cross in it would be christian

>>120835808
Are you saying NGE isn't a christian anime?

>>120835759
The internal logic is that living is worth it.
Only you need to keep assholes out of it, because they make everything shitty, hence Decim and the Void.

What exactly goes on in the void is up for the show to explore or for us to speculate.

>>120835835
Christianity requires Christ, didn't see Jesus in the anime so it's not Christian.

You do realize that Buddhism didn't do reincarnation first, right?

>>120836149

That don't really matters since they put a bigass Buda in the door. Should be obvious to which religion are they using as background

their souls leave their bodies when they ride the elevator, but the actual corpse without a soul is turned into a puppet and shoved in Decim's closet for him to play with.

Till I remember, only a few people go to the bar (those who dies at same time for whatever reason), most people go straight to heaven or hell, that might fix most of the flaws of the system and makes the bar like a literal game.

Then should be 4 options in the universe:
Heaven, Hell, Reincarnation & Void.
Or just 3 if Hell=Void.

Hope the loli clarifies this shit.

Decim and Co confirmed for Incubators harvesting despair. You get reincarnated until you get a fucked up life and become a battery for them, there is no winning.
