After Yousuke wins the first round, Misaki, who experiences a flash of memories of abusive partners, asks Yousuke to let her win the next round, during which Decim triggers a device causing Yousuke's joystick to malfunction. As a result, Misaki wins the second round while Yousuke experiences his own flash of memories about his troubled childhood. After Yousuke voices his suspicions that they aren't actually on a TV show, which is confirmed by Decim, Misaki becomes paranoid that she will be killed if she loses. Misaki uses a special move based on her family, but Decim causes her joystick to malfunction, explaining that is neccessary to expose a soul's darkness and pass judgement. This is made apparent when, in her desperation, Misaki starts physically attacking Yousuke herself and knocks him unconscious. Despite Misaki's remorse over her actions, Decim forces her to continue playing the game, but Yousuke, remembering the words of his step mother, regains consciousness and fights back with his special move, with the match ending with a double KO. Afterwards, they both realise they had died; with Yousuke having committed suicide whilst Misaki was killed by her angered assistant. After, Decim sends Yousuke to be reincarnated while Misaki is sent to the void. | ||
