The Ethics of Reincarnation

What defines an entire human life? The average of our actions, or our extremes? Our best, or our worst? When judging a whole soul, many issues arise… Death Parade is a 2015 anime telling the story of an Arbiter (Decim) and his human assistant (Chiyuki), as they judge human souls for either reincarnation or the void. Death Parade, through these characters Decim and Chiyuki, as well as the others they judge, explains and analyses many concepts such as the meaning of life and the pain of emotions, but first and foremost is of course judgment. What is the best way to judge a human life? Who is best to do so? How do we respect value while also being efficient? What defines an entire soul? Through the journey that Chiyuki emotions force Decim down, we can discuss and gain perspective on these important questions of reincarnation or void. So in today's analysis video essay, we discuss the ethics of judgment.
