i have mixed feelings regarding how netflix decided to end it but im going to ignore that for the most part because aib deserves to be remembered for more than that. this season's focus on usagi was beautiful and while i was at some points lost in like… why… just in general for everything… my confusion is with so many things.

- why usagi wanted to go back to borderland (i know it had to do with her dad but that reasoning still doesn't make sense to me)
- what ryuji's deal was with usagi i couldn't tell if he was interested in her or what he just was a such a complicated character that they didn't really delve into enough in my opinion
- what the point of the joker guy wanting to bring arisu back was (wanted smarter players, but his goal was to make arisu a citizen???

it just felt like the writers themselves forgot the lore of the show and was just writing whatever they felt like to create some sort of plot

all of that aside……i really enjoyed seeing usagi and arisu as the doting couple they deserve to be. and somehow we got a happy ending?????????????? in 2025??????? that's insane to me because them surviving borderland TWICE would've been unthinkable in s1 lmfao.

this season was really short and i think that's why it felt so empty at some points. and i agree w the person that said the scene where they were like swimming at the end felt dragged out cuz they were kinda losing me there. this season doesn't beat s1 or s2 in any means but i think they should be given credit for at least being able to maintain and deliver their point they were making unlike a certain similar show… aib at least gave us a solid conclusion and reason for what borderland is and what the message of the show is…
