Alice in Borderland Season 1 took viewers straight into a twisted world where survival was the only rule. The show mixed suspense, action, and emotion as ordinary people were forced into dangerous games with life-or-death stakes. While the Season 3 release is around the corner, here is a quick recap of Season 1 of Alice in Borderland. The final card of the show is set to premiere on September 25, 2025.
Entering The Borderland
The season began with Arisu hanging out with his best friends, Karube and Chota. Out of nowhere, the busy streets of Tokyo went silent, and everyone disappeared. The three soon learned they had entered a strange place where survival depended on playing dangerous games called Borderland. Each game was linked to a playing card, with the number showing how difficult it would be. Every win gave them extra days to live, while losing meant death.
At first, Arisu depended on his friends to get through. But the games were ruthless. In one heartbreaking moment, Karube and Chota sacrificed their lives so Arisu could keep going. Broken and alone, Arisu almost gave up, but then he met Usagi. Like him, she had lost people she loved. Together, they found strength in each other and began fighting side by side in this strange world.

#AliceInBorderland was an amazing manga & the sequel manga was dope too, from the philosophical themes to the characters to the art & paneling, to the story/narrative. Arisu was a great protagonist. Overall, it was a 9/10 💯. Haro Aso fucking cooked with this manga💯. pic.twitter.com/fv7kKO9REn
