In Episode 1, titled "Borderland", of Alice in Borderland, the story begins with the main character Arisu (played by Kento Yamazaki) and his two friends Karube (Keita Machida) and Shibuki (Yuki Morinaga) leading dull, aimless lives in Tokyo. Arisu is a video game enthusiast who is frustrated by his lack of purpose, while his friends also seem to be struggling with their own discontent.
The Catalyst:
The story takes a sharp turn when, while in Shibuya, the trio is suddenly caught up in a strange event. They are in the middle of a conversation when a blinding light surrounds them, and when it disappears, they find themselves in an alternate version of Tokyo. The city appears deserted, eerily quiet, and completely uninhabited by normal citizens. It’s as if the world has gone quiet.
Introduction to the Deadly Games:
As they try to make sense of what’s happening, a large screen appears in the sky, announcing that players must participate in a game to survive. The first game they’re forced to play is a deadly one, known as "Tag", which takes place in a massive, abandoned building. The stakes are simple but intense: If they fail the game, they will be killed by a laser beam that shoots at the players who are deemed to have lost. The game’s complexity and high risk show the grim rules of this new world: lose, and die.
They are also introduced to the game cards concept: each game has a suit (hearts, clubs, spades, or diamonds) and a rank (from 1 to 10). Each game corresponds to one of these cards, with varying levels of difficulty and severity.
Game Card System and Survival:
After the first game, Arisu and his friends encounter a group of other players who have survived, including Usagi (played by Tao Tsuchiya), a skilled athlete. Usagi helps Arisu and his friends understand the rules of this twisted game world.
The group learns that the games are divided into four suits of cards (hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades) and each suit corresponds to a different type of game:
- Hearts: Games that require mental challenges or emotional endurance.
- Clubs: Physical strength and endurance.
- Diamonds: Wealth and strategic thinking.
- Spades: Deathly, high-risk games that require the players to risk their lives.
The cards range from 1 to 10, with the higher the number, the more dangerous the game is. The stakes are high, and failure means death.
Introduction of New Allies and the First Clue:
As Arisu and his group navigate through the world, they are faced with questions: Who is behind these games? Why were they transported here? What is the ultimate goal? Along the way, they meet more survivors, including Chishiya (Nijiro Murakami) and Kyuma (Dori Sakurada), who seem to have their own survival strategies.
The episode sets up a mystery about the origins of this alternate world, and Arisu’s character arc begins to unfold: his dissatisfaction with life and lack of direction contrasts with the dire need for him to adapt and figure out how to survive in this dangerous world.
Themes & Tension:
The episode introduces several key themes:
- Survival and morality: How far are people willing to go to stay alive?
- Mental vs. Physical strength: Different types of games demand different abilities, highlighting a balance between strategy and physical prowess.
- Trust and betrayal: As the players navigate these deadly games, they learn not everyone can be trusted.
- Life’s purpose: Arisu’s character arc focuses on finding meaning in a world that seems arbitrary and deadly.
By the end of the first episode, Arisu and his friends are left with the realization that this twisted world is not only about survival, but also about endurance, mental toughness, and navigating a game of life and death.
The suspense, tension, and sense of danger are palpable throughout the episode, making it a gripping start to what promises to be a thrilling series.
