”hatters death wasn’t that bad” yeah is death wasn’t bad it’s the fact that aguni realized his gun wasn’t even loaded and sobbed his name while hugging his dead body. THAT was bad
this isn’t alice in borderland but whatever in the clerb we all fam, i can make exceptions for the boyfents
me each time I see someone have the wrong opinion about AIB: please remember that Arisu is a ♥️ player, not a ♦️ one. Arisu being a ♥️ specialist is VITAL to all his development and to the final confrontation between himself, Niragi and Chishiya because that's a ♥️ player facing two ♦️players The final game within players is meant to be mind and reason vs heart and emotion and one character with a lot of empathy and skills of understanding others facing other two WHO LACK ALL OF THAT
it's not a game between 3 ♦️ players That wouldn't make any sense it's a ♥️ player DOING HIS THING AND "TRICKING" THE DIAMIN PLAYERS INTO CHANGING
You got Chishiya, whose apathy and indiference towards the world made it so imposible for him to undertand others And Niragi, who is so trapped inside his own view of the world and himself who can't also undertand anyone else
And then you have Arisu, who gets BOTH OF THEM, he can understand both CHISHIYA AND NIRAGI BECAUSE HE IS A ♥️PLAYER. WHAT WOULD BE IMPOSIBLE IF HE WAS ALSO A ♦️ ONE
Arisu is not a parallel to Chishiya or Niragi Chishiya and Niragi are the parallels Arisu is the one standing at the edge, trying to choose what route to take just to realize that this is not even his road before turning around and walking his own one
Chishiya and Niragi are narrative foils Arisu is the one who disturbs that weird balance, makes them change and offers them a new way to face the world A new way that Niragi refuses to take but Chishiya does follow
Because both Chishiya and Niragi are completely alone, they both don't want to be anymore, but only Chishiya does something to achieve that in the end You get Niragi saying out loud that he doesn't want to be alone, but doing nothing about it and Chishiya taking Arisu's hand into starting his personal change, even if he never says it outloud THAT ONLY MAKES SENSE WITH ARISU BEING A DIFERENT KIND OF PLAYER

goodmorning USA
please let me know !!! im leaning more towards the second option but i wanna know your guys opinion !
If you've ever been in a fandom, which you certainly have if you're on tumblr, then you know that one of the biggest things that makes a fandom is shipping. Whether it be adored by the fandom, shut away in some locked up corner online, or frowned upon, almost every fandom has shipping. And Alice in Borderland is no stranger to the concept.
<> NOTICE : Nothing that I say in this post is meant to offend, harm, or attack anyone. This is simply an informational post sharing my opinion on current controversies in the fandom.
IT'S THE BASIC OUTCOME OF A FANDOM.. : Alice in Borderland has been around for almost 15 YEARS NOW. No matter how long ago you joined the fandom, whether you've been here since it's first manga release or since this year's borderland revival, if you may, on TikTok, you already know shipping is HUGE in this fandom. Which means an outrageous amount of stupid arguments over which characters are more compatible than others. Perhaps the most frustrating part of the new gen of AIB fans (I say this because I personally and most of those similar to me have been here for around 4 years) is the shipping. Now, don't take this the wrong way. I am all for shipping- if you already know me, then you would know that a large chunk of this account is based on an AIB ship. Shipping becomes a problem when people in the fandom begin arguing over which ship is better and full on attacking each other over it. I say this referring to the uprise of Chippei (Chishiya Shuntaro / Ippei Oki) and Nishiya (Niragi Suguru / Chishiya Shuntaro) and the new fandom's growing rivalry regarding these 2 ships. I have literally seen Chippei lovers tell Nishiya fans that they HATE THEM and even tell them to kms over them preferring Nishiya, or just for not liking Chippei. A portion of Nishiya shippers aren't saints either. This behavior is EXTREMELY immature. And it isn't only between these two, but it's mainly between these two. As a fandom we should respect each other, whether or not we agree with each other's opinions. Nishiya shippers who act immaturely back to the shippers who disagree whether they be Chippei, Chirisu, Niratatta, etc, make me feel ashamed to be a Nishiya shipper. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH A SHIP ? : : If you disagree with a ship you should simply scroll away. It's that simple. I personally have STRONG opinions towards Niratatta, but you will NEVER catch me telling someone who ships the two to do bad things to themselves or other kinds of hate speech. If you are in a conversation with someone who ships something different from you, you can simply say, "I personally don't ship them / don't agree with the ship, but it's a cool concept! I'm glad you enjoy it!" And go along with your day. It's THAT simple to be a normal human being and respectful member of your fandom, whether its Alice in Borderland or not. If someone is being disrespectful or crude towards you for your ship, don't reciprocate the behavior. Simply ignore them, and if they don't stop, block them. You should NEVER reply with rude remarks in return.
And, that concludes my rant. To anyone in this fandom, or any fandom for that matter, that already behaves in a respectful manner, props to you. Keep doing what you're doing !! You make your fandom a much better place when you treat others nicely :)) See you next rant !! Bye bye !

It's always 'who's the joker??', never 'how's the joker??' What if, in a perfect world, where everyone's read the manga, we asked the real questions regarding season three : What's the joker going to do? Straying from the idea of who the Joker is opens up a lot more possibilities as to what season three could hold for us and what its symbolization might be. So for today, we're taking a step away from all the 'who' theories and thinking about the whys and hows. And that starts with a single panel of the manga all the way in chapter 60.
The Sanzu River. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SANZU RIVER ? : In Japanese mythology, the Sanzu river is a river representing the border between life and death. It is a river with three different paths for three different kinds of souls- a bridge for those who have done good, a deep section filled with poisonous snakes for those who have done bad, and a ford for those in between. The borderlands represents the Sanzu river. MORE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM : - The Sanzu river is said to be located somewhere on Mount Osore, which might be what the mountain terrain that began to surround Tokyo is meant to represent. Continuing on with the Sanzu river references, at the end of the Sanzu river, the travelers enter Meido, where they will experience a number of trials to determine whether or not they are deserving to go to Tengoku (heaven), or doomed to go to Jigoku (hell). Judging by going off of Alice in Borderland being a sort of big reference to the Sanzu River, continuing on with this, the next step after borderland with the theme in season three being the joker card, could be Meido. So in theory, the next season could be the series of trials that our characters will overcome before they finally die. JOKER CARD SYMBOLISM : - The joker card is likely to represent that the characters in borderland aren't fully out yet, and we don't know if they ever will be. In history, the joker card is described as a wild card that represents UNPREDICTABILITY and CHAOS- a fitting description of the foreseeable events to come in season three ---- While the joker represents the ferryman of the river in the manga that might allude to this theory being incorrect, the mountains that began to surround the city possibly indicates that the sanzu river symbolization has not changed, but the joker's symbolization has. ---- In this case, it might be that the joker is to represent that souls might BELIEVE that they are finally to the afterlife after crossing the river (just like how the characters in borderland seem to have finished their terror), but there's still one last challenge left for them to overcome, meido (in borderland's case, the joker card.) - Joker card is also sometimes compared to the fool in tarot, which also represents unpredictability as well as the start of a new journey. - It also is sometimes believed to symbolize CHANGES IN FORTUNE, once again relating to the belief that the characters have left borderland, when they actually still have one more thing to go. I'm going to refer to this as the RIVER THEORY.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR READING !! I had the realization for this while yapping with a friend about how I thought people thinking the most random characters were the joker was stupid, started talking about the joker in the manga, and realized I actually didn't know what exactly the end of the Sanzu river was supposed to be. So it had me thinking- if AIB netflix is continuing with this symbolization, how would they go about it? Please let me know what you guys think and if you have any other evidence or theories to go along with this !! Have a great day and happy theorizing !
