Alice in Borderland is one of the beautiful series I’ve ever watched, it’s beyond playing some games, it’s about the main survival principle: having a purpose in life; without one any man simply a soulless shell. It’s about inspiring growth from a slacking nerd who was lost in his inner thoughts after mother’s death and was shaken up only when his close friends died in the game by sacrificing themselves for his continued existence; into a responsible adult who cherishes and respects his wife, working in the organization that helps others in need, and simply (as Queen of Hearts wisely advised him before her demise) enjoys life in its full scale. What begun as some dark fantasy, ended in a very realistic tale about processing loss of a loved ones and learning how to live with pain and hope, how to let go and start to build your own future which will be full of the same fears as before – human lives are so fragile, and each of us spend so little in this strange, but fascinating world that there’s not enough time for everything, but we can, at least, try to appreciate humanity in its complexity. People are often greedy, selfish creatures, but is it fair to define humanity by its worst vices? Why not instead concentrate on good traits? In that sense season 3 went in a different way to depict not only the betraying side of certain players, but more to show the goodness in broken personalities: a drug addict, a victim of domestic violence, a young man with suicidal ideation, a recluse daughter, a member of criminal gang, etc. – each of these flawed characters helped Arisu and Usagi, when in real world each of them would be denied by the society and not given a second chance. Alice in Borderland is so relatable: from main characters struggles (Arisu’s and Usagi’s grief) to brilliant supporting cast (Aguni’s conflict between being loyal or honest friend; Kuina standing by her identity without any compromises to the archaic society’s narrative; Niragi forming cynical/nihilistic views after experiencing bulling; Chishiya going through the harsh reality where money decides which people gets to live and which will be left to die). Season 3 maybe has less deeply written supporting cast, but it had another task: to show that people can get together and do good things instead of some backstabbing. Arisu is no some genius hero anymore; he grew up and became the part of collective that tries to survive and stay decent people. It’s so difficult, but it’s possible, and the final game is greatly designed to underline that it’s not desires that define us (wanting a safe life, a stable social status, healthy relationship), but how do we achieve these desires – through malice and shortcuts (with betrayal’s flavor) or hard work and patience. While society denied all these people, they fought hard to survive together, to help each other, and the fact that decency prevailed in the game designed to turn people against each other is the main victory of the whole Borderland story. Matsuyama searched for the afterlife so badly, and only in the end he realized that he witnessed the greater knowledge – true, unconditional, unselfish, pure love between Arisu and Usagi. It hurt him more than becoming an invalid after car crash, because he realized that if he was in Arisu’s place, he wouldn’t save his student (who died after an experiment) at all. He survived Borderland once and lost himself in the process. While Arisu was able to grow up from the experience and became a good husband and, without any doubt, a good father too. This series through twisted games and laconic flashbacks builds to one simple premise: “What is a human? What kind of human are you? Do you have any purpose in life?”. That’s why (coincidentally, of course, but still) us seeing Nijirô Murakami (our beloved Chishiya) one last time in Alice in Borderland works on so many levels. The actor dealt with mental health issues in real life and wasn’t working some time, so his cameo in season 3 wasn’t due to getting a paycheck from Netflix, but definitely because of great respect he has for the series and the crew which worked on it a few years. He’s slowly returning to his form and, fortunately, will continue to work in the film industry. His personal story just greatly parallels with the series premise. He regained his purpose in life again, and so are Arisu and the company. This small scene between Arisu and Chishiya, between Kento Yamazaki and Nijirô Murakami (they both clearly respect each other) was more than just a fan service. It was a touching, poignant closure for all AiB fans. And I thank you Badd Medicine for giving the series a chance to showcase Japanese production’s excellence on all fronts, and for reacting to it with your warm empathy, humor, and genuine interest to always learn something from new stories. Alice in Borderland is a flawed series, but if you look through its flaws, you can see the true goodness in it and never forget how this story about 24 years old Japanese guy and his two friends forever inspired us to deal properly with our own dreams and fears, not losing ourselves in a strange, but exciting world. P.S. Oak's analysis was really great and spot on. Everyone brought some good observations, but Oak just totally understood the big allegory AiB represented. I'm impressed!

I don't like the plot but I love the games yes, my own opinion so, I don't mind another season (means more games)

"Can I get a beer on tap?" Lmao, the America scene really cracked me up. Overall, the season was great and enjoyable for me. I did want more Borderlands lore than was given, wanted more about the afterlife deal, the Joker, the Borderland leaders, etc. The open-ended ending was silly but fine by me. And I loved the callback of all our og's; although I missed Chishiya so much I wish they were in the last season more. But it wouldn't have made sense I guess. Overall a great spin-off season to the show
