Finally the finale

I like that viewers think they know the material better than the author himself.
I enjoy watching how their "wants" override all common sense.
Quote end.

I was against the third season because it could destroy the logic of the first two. Preserving the essence of the original source was the director's main task. They preserved it, added to it, and finished it off beautifully, revealing the rest of the characters at the end. They were assisted by the author, Haro Aso.

From the very beginning, three seasons were planned. They took a long time to film it because Kento is a very busy actor. He is simultaneously filming several very complex projects. And Tao was also pregnant. The director was also busy with another project. Filming resumed when the three of them were free.

I had a biased attitude, but I decided not to be a jerk and use my head a little.

Most people can't calm down because their favorite characters didn't participate in the games in season 3. Apparently, these people wanted their favorite characters to die. The new characters were enjoyable. And they didn't have (what people like to call) plot armor. Any one of them could die suddenly. And it was no worse than the unkillable group of friends in the second season. Negative attitudes interfere with viewing and turn off the brain.

The games were as creative as in previous seasons.
They were not boring. There were many games in the first and second seasons that could also be called this. Therefore, I do not consider this assessment objective.

Haro Aso is a master at inventing games.

The reason for Usagi to be in the game is weak. But it is not without meaning.
But, in my opinion, whatever the reason, people would still be unhappy.
They've simply got it into their heads that this season shouldn't exist, and this prevents them from adequately perceiving information.


Ken Watanabe as the overlord was a pleasant surprise.
The most important thing for me was Arisu's meeting with the Overlord. This is an important scene that was missing from season two. The meeting was epic. They did it very well.
Many people don't understand at all that he is not a game master. He is the Host of the Borderland, who maintains order. He is an ancient, wise, tired deity.

The Joker is not an ordinary face card. He is the personification of destiny. The Joker is always there, like a Domokl sword.

Technically, the Joker was Banda, but in fact it was not. The Overlord needed a strong soul, so of all who remained, it was Banda. But power ended up in the hands of a psychopath who turned the Borderland into his playground (because he was bored). There are never many people in the Borderland. After all, this is a border, not the world of the dead.

Well, Banda failed to fulfill his role, so the master killed him. It's logical.

At the end they showed the good old line-up. The characters are doing well, their lives have improved, and they're moving on. It's tempting to tell the "fans" to leave them alone. I think it's much better to see them happy than dead. I'm glad the director didn't give in to the whims of capricious fans.

I didn't agree with all the script decisions. But that wasn't a reason for me to lower my rating. We are not obliged to always agree with the author and that is okay.
