Deleted per thread.


* AnAesop:
** Judging people is wrong.
** Knowing someone's experiences doesn't mean you actually know anything about them personally. People have rich internal worlds and may surprise you.
** Centering your entire identity around one thing (such as your job) is wrong and can lead to pain and identity issues, especially if that one thing is taken away.
** PoorCommunicationKills. [[ExaggeratedTrope Literally]]. So do your best to open up to those around you and talk about your feelings and concerns, no matter how hard it is, or how impossible it may seem.

* OnlySaneWoman:
** In episode 1, not only is Machiko the first to realize that they’re dead, she is also the only one with the emotional intelligence to [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim lie to her husband in hopes that he wouldn’t have to deal with the regret]] of [[spoiler:inadvertently killing their unborn child]].
**Averted in episode 4. Misaki is older than her opponent and more sociable, but she really has no clue what’s going on and assumes it’s all just a fun game show.



** Episode 1: [[{{Jerkass}} Takashi]] is a hot-headed, aggressive, antagonistic, and paranoid man. His wife [[WomenAreWiser Machiko]] is more timid, calm, quiet, and perceptive.

Added DiffLines:

* SecretUndergroundPassage: Clavis has a key that opens one up in the elevator, which he does so at Decim's command in the finale. [[spoiler:It leads to where the humans get discarded after their souls are sent to the void]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheTragicRose: The primary ending theme features a mannequin (which in this series is basically a stand-in for a corpse) reaching out for a beautiful red rose before crumbling into pieces.

Added DiffLines:

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: While it's clear to the audience that the arbiters all have *some* kind of supernatural power, it isn't clear to what extent, and a lot of the strange things Decim does during his judgments are interpreted differently by his guests. His ability to link body parts with game pieces gets him accused of human experimentation by a doctor, while other guests think it's just psychological fear. In one episode, during the explosions that happen when a game is decided for the guests, a TV star says they must have "one hell of a budget."


Added DiffLines:

* PsychologicalHorror: Despite the supernatural setting, much of the terror comes from characters reliving some of their worst memories and often [[WhatYouAreInTheDark confronting the ugliest parts of themsleves]]. The psychological manipulation and mind games orchestrated by the arbiters add another layer of this, blurring the lines between who we are and who we can become when pushed too far.


Added DiffLines:

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Aside from their more eccentric color palettes, the arbiters just look like ordinary people, which probably helps to make their guests feel somewhat more comfortable.

Added DiffLines:

* GrayRainOfDepression: During a flashback sequence in the eleventh episode, the guest's happy memories are abruptly cut off by a flashback of a career-ending injury that caused their depression, and we soon see them alone in their hospital room, all color drained from the frame as a hard rain can be seen and heard beyond the window.

** Episode 11, where do we start? We learn that [[spoiler: Chiyuki was an professional skater who won several skating competitions until she got an serious knee injury which abruptly ended her career. She went into deep depression and killed herself. In the same episode, Ginti tells Mayu that there is a way to bring Harada's soul back from the void by offering a soul in his place. '''He lied.''']]

Not an outcome.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Many of the character deaths are fairly realistic, common occurrences, like car accidents due to distracted driving, bus crashes, or slipping on a bar of soap [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking because you're dancing in your bathroom]].

Your Cheating Heart is a redirect to an index, not a trope.


* YourWorstMemory: Frequently invoked by the arbiters towards their human guests. A lot of the memories that come up during the games are stressful and traumatic, such as DomesticAbuse, ParentalNeglect, [[YourCheatingHeart infidelity]], and [[CynicismCatalyst depression]].

Added DiffLines:

* AesopCollateralDamage: Decim learns about the importance of empathy and the weight of judgement through the suffering of his guests, which he often enforces to begin with. This is most evident in the finale with his assistant, as he finally gains empathy and realizes how much his cruel games and judgments have been making people suffer [[spoiler:by witnessing ''her'' suffering at his hands]].
