@@danielcho2529 thanks, but really all i love in my life are death games and i have been training for something like that to happen, i hope someday and somehow it happens and i hope i'm able to participate
The King of Diamonds game had the most cruel death in my opinion. This game scared me the most because I would have lost immediately in this math game 😂
I mean it was diamonds game, a person who knows they're dumb would probably not even look its way if they know better. All the participants had soem kind of math number related job too. A mathematician, a loan dealer etc.
Chishiya always manages to impress. He sits back and doesn't make unnecessarily moves. He watches and waits and learns as much as he can until he knows the next best possibly move
Watching this series back, I really enjoy how all the face card games taught our main characters very needed lessons that they can take back into real life. Usagi learned the value of living for herself after loosing her parents in the Queen of Spades game from the kid, and here Chisiyua learned about what happens to you when you don’t stick to your ideals in a corrupt world/system, for example. All of the games prompted very personal and necessary character development without anything feeling forced. Brilliant meeting of plot and character writing.

King of spades quickly turned into my favorite game out of any from the 2 seasons, at first when you see it's just one guy with some guns I thought 'Oh this should be dealt with by the end of the first episode no problem', but by the last episode the show proves why that guy was the KING of spades, that and the fact he's a constant presence throughout making him the only game with that uniqueness as opposed to being held in one place, unless you're prepared to beat him you have no option but to run
Also the flashbacks of Arisu playing a similar shooting game in the beginning as well. It was like he was playing a game he played in reality in the world of borderland. I thought this should look familiar and easy to Arisu as he has played this before. 😂
@@goodprince5327 I finished the whole show a few days ago. Finished it all in 2 days. The beginning says a lot about this King of Spades though. In a sense it was like the computer game Arisu was playing but only 10 times harder cuz the King was some terminator who was indestructible! 😂

Still think it's funny how the school girl somehow lived, she got shot SO MANY TIMES. She should have been dead soon after or def not survived long enough until the final game ended.

Like bro got thrown off a roof, burnt seriously, internally bleeding and shotgunned and STILL made it to the end
i think they both still survived because they have strong will to live..if u still remember..the school girl told arisu that she will do anything to survive (everyone died in her first game while she still alive crawling with her injured leg to get out, lost her dignity so her leg can be treated)

Yeah, mahjong was the Jack of Diamonds in the manga as well, but it's also the first face card game Chishiya won in the manga rather than the Jack of Hearts.
Out of all the games between season 1 and 2 there was only one game I knew how to win before watching it play out. That was the light bulb game in season 1, where they would be electrocuted if the water hit the electrical prongs. It’s actually a brainteaser, and my year 11 math teacher taught me it in high school when I was 16. I’m 25 now and when I first heard the instruction being read out I had the biggest deja vu moment and the way they solved it in the show is exactly how you solve the brainteaser. I was very impressed seeing a simple brain teaser being turned into a death trap. It was very fascinating for me
You would have to be very smart, strong, athletic and flexible, observant, analytic, manipulating, calm and emotionless like Chishiya to win. But if you are not, that's OK...just make friends like they do and form a strong group and you'll all be winners. 😂 No one would survive if they played all the games alone. That is the same in life. You need to help each other and support one another. I think there was also a strong message of working together and teamwork and don't give up. Although you might lose some friends along the way, that's inevitable. But like many things in life, you need sacrifices in order to gain and win something. It may seem harsh and painful but life is also about going through obstacles and overcoming pain and sorrow. Also, most games require teamwork to win and not solely on your own. However, when people are put in a position where they have to play at the cost of their lives, they would then most likely not want to play together with others and play on their own. This is because most people are selfish and wish to be the only survivor rather than help others survive. You might also only work and play with others to use them for your own advantage like we have seen many do in this show.
@@ayubisf He could have but there was definitely games that required teamwork or a partner to play such as the King of Clubs. Chisiya wouldn't be able to guard the base and find all the items on his own. He also wouldn't stand a chance to win in the King of Spades as you can see it took all of them to defeat him. Chisiya would ace all the other games though. He would have easily cleared the Queen of Hearts game.
@@SWEETH0NEYDEW i think Chishiya will think outside the box and outsmart the physical games' Kings & Queens without having to sweat that much. His calmness & strategic movements are his strength.
That’s why I love Alice in borderland Retry’s (the spin-off) nine of hearts game so much! It was perfectly designed for everyone to survive, but because of one person’s selfishness to share the information it became a “choose one to die per round” type of game 🤦🏽♀️ if Arisu wasn’t smart (and desperated) enough to think it through, they would’ve all died in the end 🫠
The uniqueness of each game and face card character is amazing. The King of Diamonds game being my favorite due to insane logic, math, brutal fucking deaths and Chishiya.
List of Face Cards so far... King of Spades - Shootout King of Club - Osmosis Jack of Hearts - Prison Cell (Collar) Jack of Spades - Fight Queen of Spades - Checkmate (Tag) King of Diamonds - Balance Scale Queen of Clubs - Target (Dodgeball) Jack of Clubs - Rope Climbing Jack of Diamonds - Mahjong King of Hearts - Maze Queen of Hearts - Croquet
Nah. That game was free for literally anyone except the person who actually played it. Mira designed it with Arisu's need for answers in mind so that she could mess with him over drugged tea and use that need for answers to get him to concede. Even if you drank the drugged tea, unless you share his need for answers she doesn't have nearly as strong a hold on you, and you probably wouldn't drink more after the first break.
@@so0meoneyeah but if you went in the queen of hearts the game will be completely different mira knows which player is coming to her game so you are going to be like arisu and usagi almost dieing so either way most likely you would die even not drinking the tea
Jack of hearts and King of diamonds are the best games of the season, Chishiya made them entertaining and breathtaking. Queen of Hearts was quite unexpected for its genre and Mira seemed like a merciful villain
I think queen of hearts a bit different from its genre and other jack of hearts games bcs literally mira just want to messed up with their mind rather than playing an actual games so arisu can just gave up and fail after all the games they've done so far
Part of the gimmick of Q♡ is that you can't lose the game. This also means you can't *leave* the game without winning. If you kill Q♡, the game is unwinnable and everyone dies to passport timeout. That's what's devious about it.
The Queen of Hearts was completely free for anyone who wasn't Arisu. Mira designed the game to take full advantage of his need for answers so she could mess with him over tea and get him to concede, or at least to trick him into killing her. Either way, everyone else is screwed. If Usagi weren't there, it would have worked too.
In manga, king of diamond game name is beauty contest , because if u lose, you have no Beauty by cruel death by sulfuric acid.whose beauty is remain constant at last he or she wins. In series this game name is balance scale
That is not why it was called Keynesian Beauty Contest in the manga. It's because it's based on a real economics concept that is actually called Keynesian Beauty contest, the idea behind which is identifying what the other players are going to pick rather than what's the objectively best pick.
The king of diamonds game is called beauty contest and if you are wondering what’s the liquid being poured on them it’s called “sulfuric acid” it can easily melt gold that’s all lol.
I wanted to see the Queen of Diamonds, Jack of Spades, and the other games that aren't featured in the series for season 3, it was very interesting and I would love to binge watch one more time. Btw, I love to see how other number cards were played too, like Ten of Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs.
I think i might've survived the jack of hearts game, you just need to find an ally, stick with them, and never sway on them, you also need to just let everyone else kill each other given how paranoid they'll get
Problem is your strategy is perfect but if everyone thinks alike you will play the game forever. You have to kill to survive because food stockage might end and you can’t really sleep. You have to give an answer in 1 hour so you’re put such under high levels of stress which makes you WANT to kill so the game can end.
@@eduardocardossa143 Not to mention the Jack of Hearts is cheating. Well, technically not since he's a Citizen and not a player and the rules only say the PLAYERS can't bring in reflective objects, but still, he's pretty much cheating. He designed his game to have no risk to himself.
Season 1 3 of clubs: "Live or Death doors" 5 of spades: "Tag" 7 of hearts: "Wolf Game" 4 of clubs: "Distance" 2 of clubs: "Find It" 2 of spades: "Human Elevator" 6 of spades: "Hunt the Beasts" 10 of clubs: "Bingo" 4 of diamonds: "Light Bulb" 10 of hearts: "Witch Hunt" **************************************** Season 2 King of Spades: "Survive" King of Clubs: "Osmosis" Jack of Heart: "Solitary Confinement" Queen of Diamonds: unknown Jack of Spades: "Figth Arena" Queen of Spades: "Chest Tag" King of Diamonds: "Beauty Contest" Queen of Clubs: "Dodgeball" Jack of Diamonds: "Mahjong" Jack of Clubs: "Ropes" King of Hearts: "The Beast in the Maze" Queen of Hearts: "Croquet"
last game probably the manipulate games and because of that what u are already suffered from previous games is what she use to manipulate u.. also because once u attend to this dead border world u now under her knowledge and controll- i can say this is ultimately the perfect place for her to manipulating ppl
@@qiluv4247 Indeed , she manipulate Arisu that borderland isnt real [ which is true ] and said that she is her therapist but she stand there and didnt help Usagi from the bleeding
If people are asking will there be a season 3 when they just released season 2 and I even finished the season in one night watching all 8 episodes along with many others ! That should tell you something ….even if it doesn’t be another season please put these characters in similar shows or movies together or separate would love to to see that also! Y’all are killing it ! 🔥
@@jakehayward1993 i think the joker card is meant to represent the game of life itself. like mira said, life is a game we play together. how well we play will determine how long we last, but we’ll all lose in the end. that’s why she said to enjoy it to the fullest
@@reinventedparis3876yeah they both look like games hard to beat like in the queen of diamonds players are severely injured even tho it just a game of intellect and king of hearts scariest game ever
One of the things I like about this series is that every game and player is bound by the game's own rules. Every player must follow the game's rules, and there's no way around them. You cannot outsmart the rules; there are no crazy twists or dramatic betrayals. You play the game. You die if you go against the rules. Die if you fail. Live if you win. Simple and straightforward, it doesn't really toy with the viewers' emotions, and every character is depicted as simply humans if that makes sense-going with the flow and making inevitable choices because of the situations they're put in.
Where is Alice in Borderland season 3 coming out? Alice in Borderland is expected to come out on Netflix in December 2024. The December 2024 potential release date is purely speculative, however, and will be updated as and when we receive more information.I am sure season 3 will come because joker card was not there in both seasons Arisu may be joker card in season 3
8:25 to 9:24 The Games were like i think better than the others tbh, It seems more interesting or maybe its prob bc we just havent seen enough of this game to be so invested in it
All stores empty but my guys couldnt find one store with bulletproof vests and put it on. smh. So much would've been prevented if they would've just used all available resources and been well prepared.
Anyway, Netflix make a sequel movie or mini series with Alice in Borderland: Retry. I wanna see Arisu and Usagi married and can you add Kuina and Chishiya and Ann reunion please. Thank you!
I hope they make another season !!! So much more to explore and questions !!! The characters are amazing and great writers ect!! I wouldn’t be mad about another season …even though season 2 explained some things season 3 there would be so much more to explain about the show in general more tw
I don’t think they explained anything yet tbh I really think they are now in the Jokers game it would be AMAZING to actually explain more about what happened to them because the OTHER 2 stories the Queen of Heart said sound more real then the meteor hitting them because they got to choose to deny the citizenship doesn’t add up why they all meet and help each other in a “dream” and not remember each other
Look honestly everything is explained but not in plain sight obviously! Even right down to the title and it's similarity in Alice in Wonderland. It'd a play and juxtaposition naming it Arisu in Borderland. Look the whole thing is a metaphor, whereas Alice in Wonderland is a nightmare venture. This is also a nightmare adventure but the entire two series is people fighting for their lives as they're in serious injured after the meteorite disaster. Everyone's real body is actually in a hospital fighting from their injuries from the blast throughout the entire two series. Basically those who died in the games basically died in real life as either A) they lost willpower to continue B) Their injuries were too much to bare. Those who survived till the end of the queen of hearts game and voted to stay apparently people theorised that they remained in comatose in the hospital. Neither dead or conscious state. Finally that Joker card can be just a red herring. It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Sure they can make a third season, but without anything solid to go with it can turn out into a total mess. I'm actually fine the way it ended. Unless they can think of something new and game changing to add to the table I rather they don't make another season.
@@juanvargas-mu2wm read the manga, it will give you all the answers. There's a lot, i mean A LOT of stories and details that they did not include in the netflix adaptation especially in the ending regarding the joker's card
It's not gonna happen and idk how it would make sense if it did, but I want a "spin off" series with Chishiya as the main protagonist, again, it won't happen and idk how it would make sense, but I just love his character so much
other face card games: some intricate and complicated games of physics and wit jack of diamond: literally just a mahjong, the same mahjong game that old people played. They probably also got cigarettes and free beer while playing.
If I was there, I would only be playing: - King of Spades (inevitable) - Jack of Hearts - Queen of Spades - Queen of Hearts There is no way, I'm playing a Diamond game 😂
I shivered throughout the Jack of Hearts, rooting for Chishiya to survive, Arisu should've been there, cuz his speciality is Hearts (Phsycological Games)
The queen of hearts game was a very big one because it literally showed how this coquette game has more holes to fill and to show the madness of borderland games
Yes but checkmate could have been a little harder although it shows that the face cards are not suppose to be harder which is unique because it shows the are supposed to be a challenge for the game masters not the players but still queen of spades could had been better but it was a pretty good game
I've been meaning to watch this drama but I never got around to it. It looks like it's on the same idea as Squid Game but it has to do with cards it looks like. Math is not my strongest suit so if I participated in this game, I would definitely be the first to die.
This is way deeper and emotional than squid game. The music and world building is also way better. Visually also way more stunning. Game design is also way more interesting. You can't even guess how they beat it, unlike squid game you see the rule and there's no surprise.
Warning: yappucino I’ve never really gotten why it’s so often compared to squid game. Interesting, complex characters, death games, and deeper meanings. And of course, they’re both from countries in East Asia. But that’s really where the obvious similarities end. Alice in Borderland is way more sci-fi/fantasy, whereas Squid game is, while very improbable(to be shipped off to some random island and play death games based on childhood games, not being in debt), within the boundaries of possibility in our world, leaving less room for plot holes(which both shows have at least a few). I can see Alice in borderland being geared towards younger audiences, whereas Squid Game could be more fitting to a wider age range. As for the deeper meanings, I feel like Alice in Borderland focuses more on morality, grief, working through mental illness, the value of life etc. and while Squid Game probably mentions these issues a few times, it’s pretty hard to have a deep, mature conversation about it’s meaning without saying “capitalism”. It seems to focus more on injustice, fighting each other for money, the myth of hard work=rich, and so on. However, I would recommend them both if you want to see desperate people having to fight and compromise morals just to survive, some pretty emotional scenes, and just some deeper meanings without thinking too hard about them.
the only similarity is that they are both based on survival games, but i would say that alice in borderland has far more complicated and harder games that actually requires u to think on how to win, physically, psychologically and intellectually. squid game is more realistic whereas alice in borderland is more fantasy scifi which allows more room for such games to happen
Definitely preferred the games from season 1. Also I was kinda dissapointed that some of the games were shown so briefly and others (the in my opinion not so interesting one😅) lasted over multiple episodes.
As a manga reader, im telling you, you should pick anything but Heart game. Personally, i would pick the Heart game because it's pretty, and at least people think im kinna cool for picking heart game even if i lose lmao!
The scene where tons of people are dying while running for their lives and the protagonists miraculously surviving is so stupid, that event is so out of place the players was supposed to be given a chance to survive by playing a game with rules not just survive the world through luck and miraculously avoiding a massacre.
The first game is just running The second game is trust and strategy The third game is full of lies and no one can be trusted The forth game just run don't look back just run The fifth game strategy and regrouping The sixth game use math and numbers or else you have a bath of acid The seventh game basically a game of dogdeball but the ball has a strength of a bowling ball The eight game climb the rope or fall a high death The ninth game play a game of mahjong The tenth game run in a maze as something or someone chase after you Last game play a game of croquet and don't forfeit or quit

I was very impressed seeing a simple brain teaser being turned into a death trap. It was very fascinating for me
I watched it on a show called Brain teaser and knew that one too and got deja vu.
Yes I remember I have read about this game/logic puzzle too..
same
After seeing the end, the meaning of "will you give up" gets a lot heavier...
You would have to be very smart, strong, athletic and flexible, observant, analytic, manipulating, calm and emotionless like Chishiya to win. But if you are not, that's OK...just make friends like they do and form a strong group and you'll all be winners. 😂 No one would survive if they played all the games alone. That is the same in life. You need to help each other and support one another. I think there was also a strong message of working together and teamwork and don't give up. Although you might lose some friends along the way, that's inevitable. But like many things in life, you need sacrifices in order to gain and win something. It may seem harsh and painful but life is also about going through obstacles and overcoming pain and sorrow.
Also, most games require teamwork to win and not solely on your own. However, when people are put in a position where they have to play at the cost of their lives, they would then most likely not want to play together with others and play on their own. This is because most people are selfish and wish to be the only survivor rather than help others survive. You might also only work and play with others to use them for your own advantage like we have seen many do in this show.
exactly :D
well tbf chishiya isnt rly that strong tho. he's kinda weak in physical game but other than that he could easily ace any game
@@ayubisf He could have but there was definitely games that required teamwork or a partner to play such as the King of Clubs. Chisiya wouldn't be able to guard the base and find all the items on his own. He also wouldn't stand a chance to win in the King of Spades as you can see it took all of them to defeat him. Chisiya would ace all the other games though. He would have easily cleared the Queen of Hearts game.
@@SWEETH0NEYDEW i think Chishiya will think outside the box and outsmart the physical games' Kings & Queens without having to sweat that much. His calmness & strategic movements are his strength.
That’s why I love Alice in borderland Retry’s (the spin-off) nine of hearts game so much! It was perfectly designed for everyone to survive, but because of one person’s selfishness to share the information it became a “choose one to die per round” type of game 🤦🏽♀️ if Arisu wasn’t smart (and desperated) enough to think it through, they would’ve all died in the end 🫠
The uniqueness of each game and face card character is amazing.
The King of Diamonds game being my favorite due to insane logic, math, brutal fucking deaths and Chishiya.
List of Face Cards so far...
King of Spades - Shootout
King of Club - Osmosis
Jack of Hearts - Prison Cell (Collar)
Jack of Spades - Fight
Queen of Spades - Checkmate (Tag)
King of Diamonds - Balance Scale
Queen of Clubs - Target (Dodgeball)
Jack of Clubs - Rope Climbing
Jack of Diamonds - Mahjong
King of Hearts - Maze
Queen of Hearts - Croquet
Did I miss Queen of Diamonds
Man did they remove blackjack game that's so sad cuz it's a great game
@@vectorghostpool7it prob might be in season 3 idk lol
Did they play ace cards games?
@@Du.....249 doubt it cuz it's just a short game where chishiya went into jack of intelligence and outsmarted everyone
The queen of hearts looked so innocent but if I participated in it, I would die.
Nah. That game was free for literally anyone except the person who actually played it. Mira designed it with Arisu's need for answers in mind so that she could mess with him over drugged tea and use that need for answers to get him to concede. Even if you drank the drugged tea, unless you share his need for answers she doesn't have nearly as strong a hold on you, and you probably wouldn't drink more after the first break.
@@so0meoneyeah but if you went in the queen of hearts the game will be completely different mira knows which player is coming to her game so you are going to be like arisu and usagi almost dieing so either way most likely you would die even not drinking the tea
chishiya running with hands in pocket when king of spades attacked..
Jack of hearts and King of diamonds are the best games of the season, Chishiya made them entertaining and breathtaking.
Queen of Hearts was quite unexpected for its genre and Mira seemed like a merciful villain
I think queen of hearts a bit different from its genre and other jack of hearts games bcs literally mira just want to messed up with their mind rather than playing an actual games so arisu can just gave up and fail after all the games they've done so far
Part of the gimmick of Q♡ is that you can't lose the game. This also means you can't *leave* the game without winning. If you kill Q♡, the game is unwinnable and everyone dies to passport timeout. That's what's devious about it.
The Queen of Hearts was completely free for anyone who wasn't Arisu. Mira designed the game to take full advantage of his need for answers so she could mess with him over tea and get him to concede, or at least to trick him into killing her. Either way, everyone else is screwed. If Usagi weren't there, it would have worked too.
In manga, king of diamond game name is beauty contest , because if u lose, you have no Beauty by cruel death by sulfuric acid.whose beauty is remain constant at last he or she wins.
In series this game name is balance scale
In the Italian dub is beauty contest, at first I was surprise for the weird name but I understood very soon the reason of it 😨
@@mallorygrace8190 No its known as beauty contest because its an economics game known as the keynesian beauty contest look it up, its an actual term
No its known as beauty contest because its an economics game known as the keynesian beauty contest look it up, its an actual term
That is not why it was called Keynesian Beauty Contest in the manga. It's because it's based on a real economics concept that is actually called Keynesian Beauty contest, the idea behind which is identifying what the other players are going to pick rather than what's the objectively best pick.
My favorite game was the king of diamonds game bc we get to see how smart and how critical chishiya thinks and makes plans/decisions
"If I were to seek death, I would not have made that jump. I was able to run faster, because it wasn't for my own sake." *- Manga Usagi*
The king of diamonds game is called beauty contest and if you are wondering what’s the liquid being poured on them it’s called “sulfuric acid” it can easily melt gold that’s all lol.
I wanted to see the Queen of Diamonds, Jack of Spades, and the other games that aren't featured in the series for season 3, it was very interesting and I would love to binge watch one more time. Btw, I love to see how other number cards were played too, like Ten of Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs.
i don’t think there’s gonna be a season 3 but i feel like that’s for the best. the ending is good as it is
HI BITCHES ITS CONFIRMED THERES A THIRD SEASON
@@E1zzzZconfirmed😊
@@E1zzzZok but still they can do a series showing unseen games or not fully shown games
I think i might've survived the jack of hearts game, you just need to find an ally, stick with them, and never sway on them, you also need to just let everyone else kill each other given how paranoid they'll get
and hope your partner doesn't kill himself like Chishiya did hahaha
Problem is your strategy is perfect but if everyone thinks alike you will play the game forever. You have to kill to survive because food stockage might end and you can’t really sleep. You have to give an answer in 1 hour so you’re put such under high levels of stress which makes you WANT to kill so the game can end.
@@eduardocardossa143 Not to mention the Jack of Hearts is cheating. Well, technically not since he's a Citizen and not a player and the rules only say the PLAYERS can't bring in reflective objects, but still, he's pretty much cheating. He designed his game to have no risk to himself.

Still wondering how come squid game is more popular than this show
The acid death was the most brutal for sure
I can tell that none of us will ever survive this death games
the final games kinda easy if you dont play any previous games
@@qiluv4247 then our visa will be expire again we can't survive
last game probably the manipulate games and because of that what u are already suffered from previous games is what she use to manipulate u.. also because once u attend to this dead border world u now under her knowledge and controll- i can say this is ultimately the perfect place for her to manipulating ppl
@@qiluv4247 Indeed , she manipulate Arisu that borderland isnt real [ which is true ] and said that she is her therapist but she stand there and didnt help Usagi from the bleeding
@@qiluv4247 if u wanted to play last game you have to suffer all previous games .. Else you'll be dead...
If people are asking will there be a season 3 when they just released season 2 and I even finished the season in one night watching all 8 episodes along with many others ! That should tell you something ….even if it doesn’t be another season please put these characters in similar shows or movies together or separate would love to to see that also! Y’all are killing it ! 🔥
It's pretty much finished. The only thing they could do is do an OVA (one long episode or mini series), where alice goes against the jocker card.
@@jakehayward1993 A show like this isn’t limited to what they can do 💯.
@@jakehayward1993 i think the joker card is meant to represent the game of life itself. like mira said, life is a game we play together. how well we play will determine how long we last, but we’ll all lose in the end. that’s why she said to enjoy it to the fullest
This game survival trope is really eye catching.
Im so sad they didnt show more of the king of hearts it looked very interesting and i think i couldve even had an episode of their own
I wanted to watch queen of diamonds and king of hearts 💁♀️
@@reinventedparis3876yeah they both look like games hard to beat like in the queen of diamonds players are severely injured even tho it just a game of intellect and king of hearts scariest game ever
One of the things I like about this series is that every game and player is bound by the game's own rules. Every player must follow the game's rules, and there's no way around them. You cannot outsmart the rules; there are no crazy twists or dramatic betrayals. You play the game. You die if you go against the rules. Die if you fail. Live if you win. Simple and straightforward, it doesn't really toy with the viewers' emotions, and every character is depicted as simply humans if that makes sense-going with the flow and making inevitable choices because of the situations they're put in.
Where is Alice in Borderland season 3 coming out? Alice in Borderland is expected to come out on Netflix in December 2024. The December 2024 potential release date is purely speculative, however, and will be updated as and when we receive more information.I am sure season 3 will come because joker card was not there in both seasons Arisu may be joker card in season 3
Except the King of Spades
literally threw the coffee i was sipping when i saw ann get shot at 😂
8:25 to 9:24 The Games were like i think better than the others tbh, It seems more interesting or maybe its prob bc we just havent seen enough of this game to be so invested in it
I was highkey expecting a twist where the King of Spades would turn out to be Usagi's dad
Queen of Diamonds is the only face card game not portrayed on season 2. Such an underestimated suit.
All stores empty but my guys couldnt find one store with bulletproof vests and put it on. smh. So much would've been prevented if they would've just used all available resources and been well prepared.
Underrated, this show are way better than Squid Game.
Chihuahua is so calm. Amazing.
"Chihuahua" 😭
Bruh your comment blew up on twitter lmfao
Oh my god what is that animal 😂
Anyway, Netflix make a sequel movie or mini series with Alice in Borderland: Retry. I wanna see Arisu and Usagi married and can you add Kuina and Chishiya and Ann reunion please. Thank you!
I hope they make another season !!! So much more to explore and questions !!! The characters are amazing and great writers ect!! I wouldn’t be mad about another season …even though season 2 explained some things season 3 there would be so much more to explain about the show in general more tw
I don’t think they explained anything yet tbh I really think they are now in the Jokers game it would be AMAZING to actually explain more about what happened to them because the OTHER 2 stories the Queen of Heart said sound more real then the meteor hitting them because they got to choose to deny the citizenship doesn’t add up why they all meet and help each other in a “dream” and not remember each other
Look honestly everything is explained but not in plain sight obviously! Even right down to the title and it's similarity in Alice in Wonderland. It'd a play and juxtaposition naming it Arisu in Borderland.
Look the whole thing is a metaphor, whereas Alice in Wonderland is a nightmare venture. This is also a nightmare adventure but the entire two series is people fighting for their lives as they're in serious injured after the meteorite disaster.
Everyone's real body is actually in a hospital fighting from their injuries from the blast throughout the entire two series.
Basically those who died in the games basically died in real life as either A) they lost willpower to continue B) Their injuries were too much to bare.
Those who survived till the end of the queen of hearts game and voted to stay apparently people theorised that they remained in comatose in the hospital. Neither dead or conscious state.
Finally that Joker card can be just a red herring. It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Sure they can make a third season, but without anything solid to go with it can turn out into a total mess.
I'm actually fine the way it ended. Unless they can think of something new and game changing to add to the table I rather they don't make another season.
@@juanvargas-mu2wm read the manga, it will give you all the answers. There's a lot, i mean A LOT of stories and details that they did not include in the netflix adaptation especially in the ending regarding the joker's card
I think another season would be unnecessary. This 2nd season sums up all of it. I'm satisfied with the way it ended
Can’t believe we getting a season 3 soon 😎😎😎💯💯💯
chishiya is a perfect player for hearts and diamonds categories
It's not gonna happen and idk how it would make sense if it did, but I want a "spin off" series with Chishiya as the main protagonist, again, it won't happen and idk how it would make sense, but I just love his character so much
Arisu and chisiya both are soo genius like they are incredible i dont think i will survive if i had to play such a death game
best moment when usagi running from the guy in red shirts, thats so intensseeeeeeeee
The silence of the last game and enjoying the winning of round even though she said that playing is enough is great...loved the show
other face card games: some intricate and complicated games of physics and wit
jack of diamond: literally just a mahjong, the same mahjong game that old people played. They probably also got cigarettes and free beer while playing.
For me the most difficult game in the whole series was game No. 1 in season 1😅
I like the climbing of rope tho and people kicking each other, that was unique too
Seems more like a Spades game to me tbh
@@so0meonedoesnt matter if it look like a spade you dont even know the rules
The only way to survive games like this and beyond is become a camera man
A cameraman died in the show 😂
0:01 chishiya not running
3:30 me shushing people
7:21 chishiya honestly speaking cuz he doesnt wanna die
I hope Kuina will have her solo game like Chishiya
well in queen of spades shes the lead one, so made fair enough
If I was there, I would only be playing:
- King of Spades (inevitable)
- Jack of Hearts
- Queen of Spades
- Queen of Hearts
There is no way, I'm playing a Diamond game 😂
Oooo queen of hearts is a very hard game
1:32 eh?
It got me😂😂
2:12 now this is what I call "Pascer test time"
I still find it funny how nobody knew there was an anime for this 💀
Hopefully they follow the manga and adapt it accordingly. The manga needs to be known it's pretty underrated
Tbf the manga author would be proud that they made the best live action adaptation of his works
I shivered throughout the Jack of Hearts, rooting for Chishiya to survive, Arisu should've been there, cuz his speciality is Hearts (Phsycological Games)
Props to the live action adding 2 exclusive games other then the manga
The queen of hearts game was a very big one because it literally showed how this coquette game has more holes to fill and to show the madness of borderland games
Boiling death and checkmate are the best one HANDSDOWN IMO
Yes but checkmate could have been a little harder although it shows that the face cards are not suppose to be harder which is unique because it shows the are supposed to be a challenge for the game masters not the players but still queen of spades could had been better but it was a pretty good game
I've been meaning to watch this drama but I never got around to it. It looks like it's on the same idea as Squid Game but it has to do with cards it looks like. Math is not my strongest suit so if I participated in this game, I would definitely be the first to die.
This is way deeper and emotional than squid game. The music and world building is also way better. Visually also way more stunning. Game design is also way more interesting. You can't even guess how they beat it, unlike squid game you see the rule and there's no surprise.
Warning: yappucino
I’ve never really gotten why it’s so often compared to squid game. Interesting, complex characters, death games, and deeper meanings. And of course, they’re both from countries in East Asia. But that’s really where the obvious similarities end. Alice in Borderland is way more sci-fi/fantasy, whereas Squid game is, while very improbable(to be shipped off to some random island and play death games based on childhood games, not being in debt), within the boundaries of possibility in our world, leaving less room for plot holes(which both shows have at least a few). I can see Alice in borderland being geared towards younger audiences, whereas Squid Game could be more fitting to a wider age range. As for the deeper meanings, I feel like Alice in Borderland focuses more on morality, grief, working through mental illness, the value of life etc. and while Squid Game probably mentions these issues a few times, it’s pretty hard to have a deep, mature conversation about it’s meaning without saying “capitalism”. It seems to focus more on injustice, fighting each other for money, the myth of hard work=rich, and so on. However, I would recommend them both if you want to see desperate people having to fight and compromise morals just to survive, some pretty emotional scenes, and just some deeper meanings without thinking too hard about them.
3% is another good series
the only similarity is that they are both based on survival games, but i would say that alice in borderland has far more complicated and harder games that actually requires u to think on how to win, physically, psychologically and intellectually. squid game is more realistic whereas alice in borderland is more fantasy scifi which allows more room for such games to happen
@ryoutacooks Oh okay. That makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation since I'm not too familiar with the story. 😁
chishiya just chilling
Yeah
月額利用料払うだけでこんなすごいドラマが無料で観られるんだからすごいよな。
0:21 chishiya running and the only thing I can thing I think of is the sound ‘nerrr’
Far Better than squid game.
Season 2 was so good. Really wishing for a third if the Manga continues.
no it s the end no continuation manga ended
@@adrenaline8100 they said theyre making a season 3
@@Crazyluka15 wut? but manga ended right after this part
@@adrenaline8100 type it up they're making a season 3
Definitely preferred the games from season 1. Also I was kinda dissapointed that some of the games were shown so briefly and others (the in my opinion not so interesting one😅) lasted over multiple episodes.
As a manga reader, im telling you, you should pick anything but Heart game.
Personally, i would pick the Heart game because it's pretty, and at least people think im kinna cool for picking heart game even if i lose lmao!
oh
No not really playing a hearts game doesnt make you cool besides i would only care if the game is good
The scene where tons of people are dying while running for their lives and the protagonists miraculously surviving is so stupid, that event is so out of place the players was supposed to be given a chance to survive by playing a game with rules not just survive the world through luck and miraculously avoiding a massacre.
If arisu died i think the series would over
The first game is just running
The second game is trust and strategy
The third game is full of lies and no one can be trusted
The forth game just run don't look back just run
The fifth game strategy and regrouping
The sixth game use math and numbers or else you have a bath of acid
The seventh game basically a game of dogdeball but the ball has a strength of a bowling ball
The eight game climb the rope or fall a high death
The ninth game play a game of mahjong
The tenth game run in a maze as something or someone chase after you
Last game play a game of croquet and don't forfeit or quit
Arisu’s plot armor is crazy. 😂
Sometimes, Usagi reminds me Mikasa Ackerman
Dude diamonds are so hard and king of dianonds even more
1:32 was the best scene in s2
Just finished watching squid games now I can confidently say that Alice in Borderland is much better than squid games.💟
I’m giving this the subtitle of: “Two Of Hearts”
whats the ost for the king of spades game in the 1st, i need it in my playlist
I would not even survive the first game, and the ones after the first look insanely hard.Also I would die instantly in beauty contest
1:38 this is some Tom Cruise level running shit, think i'm gonna start watching more!
The only death game I would survive is distance. But that’s in season one. I think I’d maybe survive the witch game
Arguably the worst games to be put in lol
9:00
Yeah I am getting demolished in this game
Im horrible at majang
What’s the song used when usagi is running from the guy in the king of clubs game?
man give alice a break, first wonderland and now borderland. what's next? Poor alice.
So many of these didn’t even show people dying lol
How to survive in borderland
1 : must have fighting skill and intelligence abilities
2 : plot armour
I’m pretty confident that i’ll survive if i just counted on the main characters LMAO
I will definitely be the first to die......unless someone saves me with power of friendship 😌
LMAOOOO 1:32 “EH?”
The last 20 minutes of the show was surely a wtf moments.
7 of spades on a first game is harsh. She is a fighter.
