After the dramatic climax of Season 2, Season 3 takes a turn of events. Both main characters Arisu and Usagi are back in the “normal” world, married and trying to build a life. That “peace” doesn’t last long as Usagi is drawn back into Borderland, and the Joker card becomes the new center of attraction. The games become way more dangerous, stakes are higher, and the difficulty of the questions were increased.  

The show also introduces new characters and attempts to expand its mythology beyond what the manga originally provided. They deepen emotional stakes not just through survival, but through loss of people, the memories of their actions in season 1, and what it means to “return” from a place of trauma like Borderland. 

This season in general has been confusing for me to understand how the “normal” world is introduced and how the new character, Ryuji, is aware of exactly what was going on in the borderlands even though people have almost no memory of being there.  

The first few episodes had me puzzled by understanding the new rules of the games, characters, and how the plot was being developed. At times, it was hard to tell what was actually happening or what the main goal was supposed to be.  

In the other hand, the character development really stood out to me. We see Arisu and Usagi grow in different ways, facing choices that test their role as humans. The emotional moments hit harder because the show doesn’t just focus on survival, it also dives into friendship, loss, and what characters do to keep fighting even when it seems hopeless. 

I definitely enjoyed watching the new season of Alice in Borderland. Even though the beginning was a bit unclear, that’s part of what made me feel like I was on the edge of my seat, trying to predict what might happen. The show threw me right into the chaos, and once I started to piece things together, it became impossible for me to stop watching.  

While the beginning can feel confusing, that confusion quickly turns into curiosity as more and more of the plot unfolds. With the new characters development, more intense games, and situations that are between life or death, it makes the show not only entertaining but something that you can really connect with and remember.
