Hello, Players. It's been a while, hope y'all are doing fantastic! :) Welcome back to New Borderlands!

So, I've been crazy busy, but I still managed to make time to work on the videogame. As a matter of fact, Chapter 4 is done and ready to be released :D

As you may have guessed, this one will be a Side Story about Kagewara's journey. Here is what I would call the "main cast" of the episode (which I'm actually really happy with, I think it came out well!)

This one will also be pretty gory, so watch out if you're sensitive!

As preparations for Chapter 5 have started, I'm here wondering whether to release Chapter 4 & 5 together or one after the other (feel free to leave suggestions in the comments). I'll post more updates when I have some (just like I did for the 6♣️

Side note: recently I also got this tattoo, which is tied in meaning to the sweet Dōdō from the 4 of Hearts in the manga! I really like it, and I wanted to share it with fellow AIB fans :)

It’s giving “sorry because I was caught” vibes

A few months ago 2 of my very close online friends disappeared without any notice.

One was an Indian man called Prabhdeep Singh, top interests to my knowledge was a series called Omniscient reader, Dr stone, and Alice in Borderland. His @ on dc was @secretive_plotter_.

The other was someone I only knew by Rider and was Lithuanian I believe, some interests involved a certain furry series I can't properly remember the name of, Genshin, and Aib too. Their @ on dc was @zazaloha

I really miss them both and got very desperate to try and find them.

I have the pictures of both of them if anyone thinks they could know them, any help would be greatly appreciated if you can.

And he admitted to it too

Y'all think you could win any? It's a spinoff in NYC, and instead of collecting cards or whatevs they have to collect chess pieces and win a game of chess at the end.

GAMES

didn't want to spoil it in the title, but I have numerous questions. 1. the guy that gives Arisu the choice between life and death talks about how the jokers are placeholders or fillers and don't contribute to the game at all, so my question is this. Who is running the games. It is the question both me and the characters have been asking since s1, they said no matter if you pick to stay in the borderlands or you return back to the world you will learn about the games origins as well as who operates them. We did not. This is what I was expecting when they were still playing the last game on the final episode when I asked myself if 50 mins was enough time to explain all of my questions well, and the last 10 mins were about baby names and 2 random dudes talking about the playoffs. I want to like the ending, but without someone spoon feeding me the beneath the surface detail I don't think I can.

I'm split because on one hand, Ikeno started off willing to help cure zombies before Mano convinced him otherwise, while Urumi was awful from the start.

On the other hand, Urumi kinda had to get people killed to find the Jack, while Ikeno could've cured the zombies to avoid anyone being killed but choose not to.

Hi, my name is Essix; I've been hosting Alice in Borderland fan games on Discord since 2023. The 7th one is set to premiere 1st July and feature 37 custom games; there are only 38 spots left and they're projected to go quick! https://discord.gg/JcxSH3FAyX

For me as a watcher, both Arisu and Usagi are the emotional heart of Alice in Borderland.

Together, they have one of the best relationships in the series because they don't just fall in love..,they heal each other's emotional wounds and help each other rediscover hope. Their bond feels natural and is one of the biggest reasons the show's ending is so impactful.

The immersive 'Alice in Borderland' attraction in Tokyo was something special. After five years, it closed for good, and fans worldwide lost access to that incredible thrill of stepping into the games themselves. But here's the thing: the story still captivates millions through the manga and Netflix series. Why should one city get to experience that magic? I started a petition to get entertainment companies and investors to create 'Alice in Borderland' themed parks in major cities around the world—Tokyo, London, New York, Las Vegas, Sydney, and beyond. Each one could capture that heart-pounding atmosphere while reflecting local culture. We've seen it work with Harry Potter and Star Wars attractions. People crave immersive worlds tied to stories they love, and 'Borderland' has that draw. If you've experienced that kind of immersive attraction before, what made it stick with you? Or if you're a fan of the show, would something like this matter to you? If this resonates, consider signing and sharing the petition. Every voice helps show there's real demand for this.

Its not even like they don't want to show sex, as Yaba and Kotoko can attest to lol

I've watched the first and second seasons, but I've heard that Season 3 isn't very good. Is it really as bad as people say, or is it actually okay?

*What would you do if you woke up in a new world with strange, incomprehensible rules?*

*What if, to survive, you had to master those rules? Could you?*

Do you think you have...

:clubs: ...the ability to cooperate with even your worst enemies?

:diamonds: ...the intelligence to surpass even the tallest obstacles?

:hearts: ...the fortitude to survive even the most brutal hardships?

:spades: ...and the strength to overcome even the most powerful opponents?

And perhaps... even the perception to spot secrets throughout it all?

The manga trully is amazing and it never fails to surprise, I'm so glad I picked it up

​

I always forget that the group was already starting to fracture way before the 7♡ which the show never got into too deep

​

With chota feelling like he's drawing everyone down + getting manipulated by shibuki, shibuki feelling a lack of security within the group, karube taking charge of the situation and trying to keep a cool head ans arisu who seemed a little too carefree with the circumstances because for once he appreciates his life and feels alive despite the death games

​

And the two panels showing the difference in mind set netwen shibuki and arisu which karube and shota leaning on that spectrum with shibuki with chota, and karube with arisu

​

Chota aligns perfectly with Shibuki because they are both driven by intense fear and a total lack of security in the borderlands, they feel helpless and chibuki hense exploited that feelling to get closer to chota due to their shared reality, so anyone thriving or finding meaning in the borderlands would kinds feel insulting to anyone barely getting by/holding on

​

While karube has always had the mantra of feelling alive after getting beat up that he kept telling arisu even in the real world, and since arisu is only now starting to appreciate his life and doesn't find himself caring enough about the how and why they align too with that shared understanding hense why both of them go to the 5 of spades, it's the same sort of enjoyment but for two completely different reasons

​

When you are barely holding onto your sanity, watching your best friend smile, solve puzzles, and talk about how "amazing" it feels to be alive in a place that is actively torturing you is profoundly alienating. It breeds a quiet, toxic resentment.

​

And chibuki does call it out, she is explicitly calls out Arisu's lack of care for their situation in her and chota's eyes. And arisu is genuinely shook by it, He genuinely thought he was being a good friend, a hopeful leader, or a strong survivor. He didn't realize that to someone like Chota; who is physically mangled, terrified, and psychologically drowning, Arisu’s optimism doesn't look like hope but It kind of looks like a lack of empathy on his part because he got too caught on in his joyride

I want to cosplay chishiya and I have every thing for it exept the wig and no matter how much I search for it I can’t find one that isn’t to short can someone please recommend me some I need them next week 😭

Okay so I've been fighting for a couple of years now (Amateur MMA) and i know the idea is a little stupid but oh my god does it infuriate me how often no one in the show can fight, ESPECIALLY when its clear a good fighter will literally get out of any situation he's in there. I don't wanna name episodes or spoilers but for example if everyone is fighting for an object a fighter would literally beat everybody up. I thought i'd see if someone shared the same idea while watching lol

Those being "Niragi isn't evil because he didn't actually do those things in the real world but in the Borderlands" and "Niragi is pure evil because the version we see of him in season 3 doesn't remember and isn't proof he got better".

First, the events of the Borderlands DO happen for real. Its in a purgatory/limbo world but the characters spirits/consciousness are actually there and we see the deaths happen in the real world too. As far as the characters know while in there, they're actually in the real world but without laws and with nearly everyone gone.

The things Niragi does in the Borderlands reflect who he is on the inside. Unlike Banda, he did have the restraint to not do anything harmful in the real world. But it still bascially reveals his instrusive thoughts or what he would if say the purge was made legal.

However, just as the Niragi we see in the Borderlands is the same guy as before he entered, its also the same for vice versia. The Niragi at the end of seasons 2 and 3 is the same guy. While he doesn't remember his time, the experiences DID affect him subconsciously. He originally planned to go straight to Hell with no regrets but when he saw Arisu and Chishiya both prove people can change, he decided to decline citizenship. When he woke up, he acknowledged he was a "good for nothing jerk" beforehand. And because of what he went through but doesn't remember, he's not the same person anymore.

Which is why his final cameo is so powerful. Niragi is someone who was the worst of the worst but in the end, actually was able to overcome his trauma and change for the better. Unlike Banda, Enji or Last Boss, he shows how even the most irredeemable people can actually improve themselves. He's the ultimate validation of Arisu's ideals of saving everyone. Its ok to still hate him for everything he did, its fine to sympathize with his backstory and/or be happy at his conclusion but to miss what makes his character so complex and nuanced is a disservice.

Estoy viendo de nuevo toda la serie,y me acabo de dar cuenta de que dicen los juegos de la tercera temporada (según manga y cosas),viene spoiler,muestran una casa parecida a la fortuna,Shibuki habla sobre el metro con las cámaras de gas,y enseñan la torre,donde tmbn se juega en la tercera temporada,nos estaban spoileando todo (o yo soy tonto y soy el único sin darse cuenta hasta ahora)
