Based on the manga by Hara Aso, Alice in Borderland follows Kento Yamazaki’s character, Arisu, a hardcore gamer who suddenly finds himself in a deserted and eerie version of Tokyo. Along with his friends, he becomes trapped in this mysterious world where survival games are the only way to stay alive.

The show’s gripping storyline, intense action sequences, and deep emotional moments have made it a global sensation. As the series moves into its third season, fans are eager to see what lies ahead for Arisu and the others.

High-Stakes Finale of Season 2

In the climax of Season 2, Arisu and Usagi (played by Tao Tsuchiya) faced off against the Queen of Hearts, Mira, in a nail-biting croquet match. Mira, using psychological tactics, tried to manipulate Arisu into doubting reality. However, with Usagi’s unwavering support, Arisu found his way back to reality, and the two finally confessed their love for each other.

After the game, the remaining players were given a choice—stay in Borderland or return to the real world. Most chose to leave, waking up in a hospital in Tokyo. It was then revealed that a meteor strike had caused their entry into Borderland in the first place.

While Arisu and Usagi lost their memories of what had happened, the final moments hinted that their bond remained strong. The last shot of the season—a Joker card—left fans speculating about what’s next.

Season 3 Confirmed at Next on Netflix 2025 Event
