Alice in Borderland Season 2 Plot

This thriller series is very similar to the premise of Squid Game, where the lead characters Kento and Yuzuha are stuck in an alternate Tokyo where they have to play a series of sadistic games to escape.

The series is based on a manga of the same name. The first season consists of eight episodes that covered around half (31 chapters) of the manga. Around 33 chapters of the manga are still available for adaptation.

Throughout the first season, Arisu survives a number of deadly games, but in the process, he lost his friends Chota and Korube along the way. In the climax final Ten of Hearts game, the remaining players including Arisu had to identify the “Witch” who hid among them. After a terrible bloodbath, Arisu figured out that Momoka was the Witch, which led to another discovery – that she and Asahi were actually dealers, players who organize games to extend their visas.

Arisu and Usagi head to a control room where they meet a stranger named Mira who announces a whole new set of games to collect face cards.

In the second season, one can expect Meera to play a pivotal role. It is going to be an interesting season as Arisu and Usagi will face new deadly challenges. It is not going to be easy for Arisu as his true friends are no more.
