Explore this intriguing concept in Borderland.
Alice in Borderland: The Beginning
In Episode 1 of Alice In Borderland, we meet Ryohei Arisu, a guy more interested in video games than work, much to his brother’s annoyance.
Their talk about resetting reality hits close to home. Arisu hangs out with his quirky friends, Chota and Karube, who just got fired for a barmaid escapade. T
hey plan their next move amidst zombie and gaming chatter, making them a bunch of outcasts.
Karube’s words resonate, reminding Arisu of life’s complexities as they observe the bustling crowd outside.
They were just goofing around, talking about zombies as if they were characters in a manga. Karube teased Arisu about his survival skills, a mystery left hanging.
Amidst their laughter and banter, they accidentally caused a car accident, catching the attention of the police.
Panicked, they hid in a train bathroom when the lights suddenly went out. When they finally stepped out of the station, the lively streets of Shibuya had turned eerily silent.
The deserted cityscape was strangely captivating, captured beautifully by the camera, showcasing abandoned streets and forgotten meals.
Arisu felt a mix of excitement and fear until a giant screen flickered to life, announcing the commencement of a game.
Guided by arrows, they entered a building and found a table filled with smartphones. Soon, they were joined by a woman and a high school girl, and the ‘Dead or Alive’ game began.
The rules were simple: exit the building within the time limit. The catch? Two doors, one leading to life and the other to death.
Shibuki Saori, the woman, advised choosing the ‘live’ door, However, this turns out to be the deadly choice, leading to the immediate demise of the high-school girl.
The survivors, passing through the “Die” door, confront Shibuki, demanding an explanation for her mistake.
In rapid succession, they face identical rooms, fueling heated arguments among them.
Amidst the chaos, a punch to Arisu’s face triggers a memory about the car outside, and he cracks the riddle using some quick math.
In a race against time and a relentless fire, they narrowly manage to escape, reaching the alleyway.
Their phone app chimes with congratulations, but the victory is marred by Chota’s severely burned leg, a stark reminder of the dangers they face.
After all its just the beginning! Despite our
worries, the first episode is very promising. The trailers hint at more, and I’m eager to dive into episode 2 to see what unfolds!
