Death Parade explores the afterlife, but not in the traditional sense of Heaven or Hell. Instead, some individuals who die simultaneously find themselves in a mysterious bar called Quindecim.
Here, they are met by Decim, an arbiter who subjects them to games that test their character. These aren't just any games; they're designed to bring out the true nature of these individuals and ultimately determine their fate.
The outcome of these games decides whether their souls will be reincarnated or banished into oblivion. Decim's routine, however, is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious woman with no memories, forcing him to question the very system he upholds.
