Maintained the standard in many ways

AiB season 1 and 2 has always been my absolute favourite in this genre. Everything about the show was fabulous.Season 2 ending was perfect. And that's why when Netflix announced season 3,I became skeptical, will it be another cash grab nonsense story stretching like Squid Game?? Are they gonna ruin one of the majestic show ever??

Well today I got my answer....nope,the thrill is still there,the connection is still there. Arisu and Usagi still fighting strong together and got their very much deserving happy ending!And that surprise at the end.... Gotta give the show 10/10 only for that few minutes!!!!Was it as good as Season 1 and 2? No,definitely not!!! But was it bad.... NOPE!

What bothered me was some of the new characters. That Professor was weird,ngl. He creeped out many times and his character arc was not much convincing.And Banda as citizen wasn’t doing much... Just casually making plots to bring back Arisu. Also the new players... Well I am very much attached to the og's, Chishiya,Kuina,Ann,Aguni,Niragi,Tatta,Chota,Karube.... Cause their stories were told amazingly in the last two seasons,all of them left their marks. Aib is not Aib without them!Who knows,if there were more episodes,I could also connect myself more with the new ones too!!Some characters felt like just wasted potentials.

One thing AiB will always be remembered for is its games... And this season was thrilling too. Every game was mind bending. It was good to see Arisu taking charge in each game... Man was in so much trauma and depression in the last seasons,this time he proved again why he is a pro. But...I must say... I missed Chishiya!!!

Story writing was not as good as the previous ones,there were some hiccups here and there. But one thing really bothered me,is Aib also gonna have an American version like SG?? What was that in the last few minutes??Who asked for that? What is the need??

However,it was a good ending. I was thrilled,emotional,happy. AiB itself created the standard,so happy they remained true to it,didn't fully ruin the magic.This show deserves so much hype,I hope it gets what it deserves.It is probably the last time we're seeing them.... So it was the best farewell indeed!
