Death March (デス・マーチ, Desu Māchi) is the fifth episode of Death Parade.
Summary[]
The black-haired woman dreams about a story of a young boy and girl. A man and a child enter the Quindecim, but the man seems to recognize Decim and the bar. Nona and Oculus are playing billiards and talk about arbiters. The man takes the boy hostage but is restrained by Decim. The black-haired woman is put to sleep by the young boy who gets immediately restrained by Decim. The boy is revealed to be Ginti and they talk about the woman Decim wasn't able to judge. After a short scuffle between the two Nona forcefully pins down Ginti. She reveals that Decim was tested and that he failed. She leaves and visits Castra, talking with her about the sheer mass of deaths. Clavis takes the man, who was only a puppet with implanted memories, and leaves with Ginti, while Decim puts the black-haired woman to sleep.
Plot[]
The black-haired woman, who has been having the same dream about a boy and a girl, is surprised to find the girl from her dream on a panel Nona asked Decim to put up.
As two new customers, a man and a young boy, show up at the bar, Decim is taken aback when the man seems to possess memories of having been in the Quindecim before. The man suddenly seems to have a memory about the mannequins that Decim keeps behind the bar, and then he abruptly tries taking the boy as hostage and asks that he must be let escape this place.
Just as Decim restrains the man, the woman is put to sleep by the young boy, who is revealed to be another arbiter named Ginti.
Ginti questions Decim about the woman, who was not chosen for the games as she already knew she was dead.
Irritated with Decim's response, Ginti picks a fight with him until Nona puts a stop to him. Nona reveals the guests were part of a test for Decim, noting that he failed to realize the boy had no memories due to being distracted by the man, who was a dummy implanted with memories.
Later, the woman continues to dream about the boy and girl, Jimmy and Chavvot.
During the credits, many destroyed mannequins are shown with the focus on a female one with green eyes and green hair. It cuts to the green haired mannequin fully intact at a gathering of other mannequins. A red rose spouts among the gathering. She reaches out to touch the rose, but crumbles away with all the others as the rose sits there untouched. (Standard ED)
After the credits, Nona is seen reading Chavvot.
