What to expect from Alice in Borderland Season 3

Netflix hinted that Arisu and Usagi's lives are going to get wild again as a mysterious man named Ryuji, who is obsessed with the afterlife, appears in their lives.

Season 3 is ready to take viewers on a wild ride far beyond what they have seen in the previous seasons. The show is going to delve into past traumas, the realisation of what happens after they are gone, or having doubts that the Borderland is even a real place.

Alice in Borderland is going to introduce 'Joker' card, which has been mentioned at the very end of the original manga. Season 3 may explore internal conflicts, moral dilemmas, and the psychological impact of the games, rather than just physical fights for survival.
