The conclusion Alice in Borderland Is finally here, and fans all over the world all agree to see how the epic series will end their driving. There are even more games, blood and death, and with this is the last season, there are also many Questions left unanswered When it comes to the end and how the story fits into the world's broader context.
As always, things are kept quite ambiguous when it comes to narrative answers, with many questions that remain constant throughout the show and are never completely resolved. Now that it is over, all viewers can do speculate and disassemble those minute details to try to bring together a more coherent set of conclusions than the show itself offers.
Spoiler alert: This article will discuss large spoilers for the whole Alice in BorderlandIncluding season three and end.
The guard
A leader or something more?
The guard is easily one of the most interesting characters in Alice in BorderlandAs he only appears in the last section, and his time on the screen is quite short -lived. He shows up after Banda has been driven by a laser from the sky, and Arisu assumes he is the Joker, the one who pulls the strings and controls the games behind the scenes.
As it turns out, Watchman is more a messenger or supervisor of death, observes when players come and go between areas and offer them a choice to either return to the living or throw in the death room. The biggest surprise comes under a line where he mentions an imminent disaster where many lives will be lost. Only the time will show if that level of death was a warning or a prediction of a major disaster coming.
The land of the dead
Is there really life after death?
One of the new characters in Alice in Borderland Season three is Ryuji, a psychiatrist professor that becomes obsessed with the concept of close death experiences and a potential afterlife. He seeks answers after the survivors mentions games in another world and eventually be drawn in by bands, which information about him killing Usagi to serve the answers he is looking for.
In the end, Ryuji's humanity returns, and although he almost takes Usagi with him in the void, he chooses to go alone, sucked into the swirl and as a result die in the real world. It is unclear if Banda's offer was just a trick or a real reward. If there really is a completely different world full of death, there may be a chance that all three areas can collide, given the right circumstances and the right people to make it happen.
The true creator
Where did everything start?
Even after three seasons there are still no concrete answers to who or what is actually behind the games in Alice in Borderland. During the second season, Mira is revealed as the Queen of Hearts; Someone who at least played a big role in creating and controlling some of the games, but even she falls victim to the sky, which means there must be a force higher than her.
Season three then positions banda as a joker in Borderlands, a mysterious figure with an countless level of power whose only desire is to see people suffer and to bring Arisu back to the games. Nevertheless, Banda is also killed, this time by Watchman, who also seems to have any answers to Why the games were made or who is really behind them at the top.
Usagi's father
Closing, but not closer to an answer
There are many times below Alice in Borderland where Usagi mentions his father and his deathBecause she still feels a lot of pain and guilt after he probably committed suicide. However, Usagi herself says several times that her father would never do so, even though she suffered from a recurring nightmare where she looks at him rising from a rock area.
Even in the last section, her father is shown on the edge, only this time he embraces his daughter and allows her to finally accept her death. However, what is strange is that it is still never confirmed if he died in the way the newspapers reported or if there was something much more unfortunate going on. Maybe he was brought to the boundaries and executed there instead?
Connections between Realms
Both memories and characters
An ongoing theme during the last season of Alice in Borderland is the relationship between the real world and the boundaries. The only clarity given is that in order to travel between the two worlds one must experience death, either through an event or by taking a drug that the characters use to return one last time.
However, there are some questions about memories and a certain character's place in the world. First, it is strange that some characters retain memories from certain events, which means that the connection remains for those who survived. In addition, banda manages to enter the real world, but is stopped by Ann, who can somehow see him and show that there are even more forces working that control the world from the outside.
Other boundaries
To keep things open just a crack
The last scene of Alice in Borderland Perhaps most questions ask. In a very similar way as Octopus Finale, the show concludes with a new report that several earthquakes have been measured all over the world, with a map showing many different places from Europe to the United States.
Then the place is moved to a cafe in America, where viewers are given a brief glimpse of an unknown character called Alice. This ominous ending indicates several things. First, the assumption is that there are (or have been) several different boundaries spread throughout the world, or at least several different cases. When you read things deeper, it can repeat the caretaker's warning of further death, which shows that the range of the boundaries goes far beyond Japan and that the games are not isolated to a single region.
