Do we know which side is heaven/hell?
Do we know which elevator is heaven and which is hell? In the Death Billiards movie, it seems kind of debatable. As well as the first episode of Death Parade, did the wife or husband go to hell? Does winning the game have any bearing on this?

How are Death Billiards and Death Parade related?
I'm watching Death Parade right now and I just heard about Death Billiards, which seems to be a predecessor work for Death Parade. A one-shot of sorts, or so it seems. I'd like to know without spoiling the rest of D.P. how the two works are related,…

How did Shimada Die?
He was shown killing Tatsumi, the detective, then the flashback was over.
Nowhere in the anime did it show how he died (and came for judgement). How did he die?
Canonical answers would be appreciated!

Why is it stated arbiters don't feel human emotions?
Decim shows empathy. Ginty is angry with the choice the fangirl he judges makes. The rest of the arbiters show human emotions, too. So why does a rule say they don't have human emotions because they're dummies?

In Death Billiards, the old man is sent to the void and the younger one is sent to be reincarnated. But why? What was the basis for this decision? It even contradicts other decisions in Death Parade. For example, the one shown darkness was the young…

Where did Decim send Chiyuki? To reincarnation or to void?
I saw that the mask changed and she just gave in to her wish to come back to live in her last 'test', so I think she was sent to void, but I'm not really sure. Can somebody explain, please?
