Death Reverse (デス・リバース, Desu Ribāsu) is the second episode of Death Parade.

Summary
Stirring from her slumber, the black-haired woman wakes up, and finds herself in an unfamiliar - green house while on top of a trees - place with a strange girl on the opposite side of her who introduced herself as Nona. Unable to even remember her own name, she is led by Nona to a train, unknown to where it is heading. After alighting, they enter an elevator and meet the elevator operator known as Clavis, who is late. He apologizes to Nona, who remarks that he should get it together. Once the doors close, he asks them where they wish to go to, and Nona responds with Decim's place. He hits the button, and whispers a quick greeting to the new arrival. They proceed to the fifteenth floor.

They reach the bar Quindecim, and are welcomed by the bartender, Decim. Nona sits down at the bar, while the black-ahired girl ganders... of this establishment and explains to her that Quindecim is where the deceased come to play a game with their lives at stake. Judgment is passed on them based on their memories, as well as the extent of humanity they show throughout. Revealing themselves to be the Arbiters, they receive the compiled memories of their contestants before they arrive.

As the game is about to begin, she and Nona leave the bar. Confused about everything, the black-haired woman asks Nona where is she to fit in, on which the latter replies that she is to be an assistant. They enter a room filled with mannequins, only to be known that the place is Decim’s hobby room that is located behind the bar. They sit down as they view the unfolding events inside Quindecim.

Moving to the gallery room, they view the game of darts between Takashi and Machiko. After the game, they meet Decim at the hallway and the black-haired woman shares her views about the game. She believes that everything to be not as it seemed as she explain her thoughts. Hearing her opinion, Decim is dumbfounded and apologizes to Nona. Nona, though smiling at first, coldly advises Decim not to ignore emotions just because he is an Arbiter.

They go back inside and Decim serves the girls with Nona's "regular" drink. They both express how good the drink is, to which Decim thanks them. As Nona finishes her drink, she walks away and tells the black-haired woman that 'she can take it from here'. When she asks what she should do, Nona just tells her to keep doing what she's doing.

Heading upwards in the lift, Clavis asks Nona how the black-haired woman fared. She tells him that she did quite well; this makes Clavis surprised as he know how rarely Nona doesn't put anyone down. However, Nona takes back what she said, saying that the black-haired woman still has a long way to go.

Switching back to Quindecim, Decim reveals he is looking forward to working with the black-haired woman and also apologies for earlier. He reveals that he has respect to people who live their lives to the fullest, and admits how unfit he is to be an Arbiter base on his decision at the end of the game. As the black-haired woman accepts his apology, she requests another drink from him.
