)

Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for Alice in Borderland Season 3, and it has fans worried about the fate of the main character, Arisu. The trailer shows a shocking moment where Arisu appears to be hit by a laser beam, leaving viewers questioning if he will survive the new season. The series will premiere on September 25, 2025, and the teaser has already gained over two million views in one day.

The new season continues the story of Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya), who thought they had escaped the deadly games of the Borderland. After getting married and returning to the real world, their peace is shattered when Usagi is kidnapped, forcing Arisu to go back into the dangerous alternate Tokyo. This time, they must face the Joker, the final and most mysterious stage of the game.

Fans React to the Shocking Alice in Borderland Season 3 Trailer

The trailer has sparked intense reactions online, with many fans convinced that Arisu might die in the upcoming season. One scene shows a figure resembling Arisu being struck by a laser, followed by Usagi screaming his name in horror. Social media exploded with theories, with some fans refusing to believe the show would kill off its main character.

“Arisu will die ???๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’”

“SHUT UPPPPPP ARISU CANโ€™T DIE THEY BETTER NOT PLAY WITH OUR FEELINGS”

“No way they would spoil thatโ€ฆ itโ€™s probably a nightmare or something”

“They wonโ€™t kill them off trust, they made it look like Arisu was dying for shock value but if he was really dying they wouldnโ€™t put it in the trailer”

While some fans think the scene is a fake-out, others believe it could be a major turning point in the story. The uncertainty has made the wait for Season 3 even more intense.

What Will Happen in Alice in Borderland Season 3?

Season 3 picks up after Arisu and Usagi have left the Borderland and are trying to live a normal life. However, Usagi suddenly disappears after meeting a mysterious researcher named Ryuji (Kento Kaku), who is obsessed with the afterlife. Arisu then receives a visit from Banda (Hayato Isomura), who reveals that Usagi has been taken back to the Borderland.

To save her, Arisu must return to the deadly games, where he will face the Joker Cardโ€”a new challenge not seen in the original manga. The Joker is expected to be the most dangerous stage yet, with psychological traps and even deadlier games. The trailer also hints at fire arrows, electric currents, and new players joining the fight.

Returning and New Cast Members

Most of the main cast from previous seasons will return, including:

  • Kento Yamazaki as Arisu
  • Tao Tsuchiya as Usagi
  • Ayaka Miyoshi as Ann
  • Nijirล Murakami as Chishiya
  • Dori Sakurada as Niragi

New actors joining the series include Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Koji Ohkura, Risa Sudou, Tina Tamashiro, Kotaro Daigo, Hyunri, and Kento Kaku. Their roles are still mostly under wraps, but they are expected to play key parts in the Joker stage.

How Does the Joker Change the Story?

In the original manga, the Joker was simply a ferryman who guided players in and out of the Borderland. However, the Netflix series is taking a different approach, turning the Joker into a major antagonist. This means the story could go in a completely new direction, with unexpected twists and higher stakes.

The games in Season 3 are expected to be more brutal than ever, pushing the characters to their limits. Since the show has already gone beyond the manga, fans have no way of predicting what will happen nextโ€”making the theories about Arisuโ€™s possible death even more intense.

When Can Fans Watch Alice in Borderland Season 3?

The new season will be released worldwide on September 25, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. The first two seasons are already available for streaming, so fans can rewatch them before the premiere.
