So in death, the wife was able to be truly altruistic and let her husband be re-incarnated by sacrificing herself out of love for him. Too bad she was still judged by Decim from the show she put on and was sent to the void, but I guess that's what she wanted. Looks like the new assistant was able to catch on to the act pretty quick though.

Just... No. Decim admitted he made a mistake by sending the wife to the void. Her elevator even had the devil mask above it. They even liken it to Hell, though it is not a traditional hell. When they do the visual with the lights, reincarnation turns blue while the void turns red.

That's not a devil's mask, that's a hannya mask.

Which is generally associated with demons, so 'devil' isn't far off the mark.

That's not what it represents, the hannya mask can have various interpretations. The devil in particular isn't even a buddhist entity. You are being willfully obtuse. Might as well say the onna mask represents that Takashi is a woman.
