description Death Parade Overview
After death, either Heaven or Hell awaits most humans. But for a select few, death brings them to Quindecim—a bar where only pairs of people who die at the same time can enter. Attending the bar is an enigmatic figure known as Decim, who also acts as the arbiter. He passes judgment on those who wind up at Quindecim by challenging them to a life-threatening game.

help Death Parade FAQ
What is the bar Quindecim in Death Parade?
Quindecim is the afterlife bar where Decim judges pairs of people who died at the same time. Its name points to the 15th floor, and the games expose memories, guilt, fear, and hidden motives.
Is Death Parade connected to Death Billiards?
Yes. Death Parade grew out of the 2013 short film Death Billiards, which was also produced by Madhouse and directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa. The TV anime expanded that premise into a 12-episode series in 2015.
What kinds of games do Decim's guests play in Death Parade?
The games look familiar at first, such as darts, bowling, arcade fighting, or billiards. The twist is that the players believe body parts, memories, or their souls may be at stake.
Does Death Parade have a clear Heaven and Hell judgment system?
Not exactly. The arbiters decide whether souls are sent for reincarnation or the void, and the series questions whether beings like Decim can judge humans fairly without human emotion.
