The game this time around is tag, and the goal is to touch a symbol hidden in one of the apartments in the block where the game takes place while avoiding the tagger. The suits denote the type of game: clubs are a team battle diamonds test wits spades is physical and hearts, the worst category, force you to play with people’s emotions. The difficulty this time is the five of spades - a man named Nitobe explains what this means. There are a total of 13 participants this time, and Karube suggests sacrificing some as Shibuki tried to do in the previous game.
The game also includes Usagi Karube and Arisu arrive shortly afterward. Arisu also figures he might be able to determine the game master’s “signature” and devise a strategy for beating it, so at this point, the plot essentially splits into two, with Karube and Arisu going to the game and Chota and Shibuki staying behind. There’s obviously a game master, someone designing these challenges, but who?Įither way, Chota needs a doctor after his burn, so Karube suggests that he and Arisu play the next game together in order to meet more people, potentially a doctor, and get a better idea of what’s what. Are we introducing the potential for time travel here? Shibuki floats the notion of a VR overlay, but that doesn’t explain the very real consequences of the lasers. Arisu also finds some rotting vegetables while out and about, so the timeline is obviously different for everyone. For Shibuki, everyone disappeared three days ago, yet for the boys, it was only yesterday. This little getting-to-know-you session provides some quick backstory for Shibuki, who was sleeping with her boss when everyone disappeared, but also ponders some more lingering questions about the overarching mysteries. In the meantime, Chota figures out that all modern technology containing IC chips is dead and the older stuff isn’t, suggesting that perhaps an EMP device was used to wipe out Tokyo’s communications, but unfortunately that doesn’t explain the smartphones utilized by the games. Looks like we have our second lead character.
Alice in Borderland episode 2 opens with the woman who functioned as something of a cliffhanger in the previous episode living up to the distinction - she’s literally a mountain climber who promises the memory of her father that she’s going to survive.
