Haha this was me! Almost was surprised they were willing to gamble with it's bracelet- it was honestly refreshing since they didn't actively sacrifice any of the characters to save 1.

PS: you can ignore the micro-cheating comments. It depends on how you see the characters.

To me, Usagi has always been helpful (and abit sacrificing) even in the past seasons. In her pov she only knew the other guy in the borderline for majority of the drama since she wasn't aware that Arisu was back too. Given that the other guy is disabled too, naturally Usagi teams up with him to make sure they both survive. Arisu does feel a bit purplexed at times but it's not because he thinks she is cheating- he saw a recording of Usagi discussing her fears so he knows why she is nice to the other guy.


It's not as melodramatic as some comments are making it out to be.

She didn't get closure in season 2 because she lost her memories. Considering her job and she's still exposed to public scruitinity, it's fair enough that she still is haunted by her father. Arisu too lost his memories so Usagi isn't aware how helpful it would have been to tell Arisu her darkest wish. It also doesn't help that she keeps getting dark flashes from the borderline.

Micro cheating- honestly i don't see it. Her hugging him several times isn't romantic- it's more of a "we survived!" kind of hug. If Ryuji wasn't disabled, she probably wouldn't have insisted to help him so much.

Personally it didn't annoy me much. I found myself thinking "dammmn...the audacity of this guy!" during some of his scenes in general but it didn't negatively impact my overall enjoyment.

I guess if you look at his character as someone broken who is a "mad scientist", his character is more palatable.

As for Usagi's interactions with him, it isn't really any different from her self sacrificing nature with the others.

Think it's something to do with the fact they just lost their parents. The sister must have been hit particularly hard by it so he needs to be strong for her. His way of coping their parents' deaths is to make her his world.


(It's sad really how he didn't hesitate even once 🥲)

It was all in their subconscience - since Usagi only found out about her pregnancy right before the dice game, the worst it went through was nearly getting drowned 😉

Bro is crazy and manipulative. He's also still unconsciously dealing with his former colleague's death as well. I guess he saw Usagi as a replacement?

No. The hugs and care are platonic. They are literally being hunted down every few hours after all.

More like a "brothers in arms" kind of friendship from Usagi's pov. From Ryuji's there's obsession since he's kind of a mad scientist.

If you are looking for a lovestory with the MC though, it's more subtle. They are in a long term relationship that's well beyond the honeymoon phase. So we are in their "family" phase (very japanese if you get what I mean).

Usagi didn't though- she is still incapable of ignoring a person in need just like in the previous season and like it or not, Ryuji did make her wish come true.

They are comrades in her POV- brothers in arms. It's her relentless depression from her dad's death was what was eating through her relationship with Arisu. She loves him but cannot move forward because her past still has a strong grip on her. Her environment didn't allow her to heal from her dad's trauma since she is still constantly reminded about it unfortunately.

Exactly! And their mindset too in a way from what I've understood as of ep 8.

REJ strives for more due to her past hardships whereas SY isn't able to truly shake off the ghosts from her past.

Ryuji- My bet is on reverse stokholm syndrome- Usagi saved him so many times, how could he betray her in the end?🤭

They did try to hide until most of the safe spots 💥

Have fun!

I think it really helped me that I was expecting the worst after eeading the comments (as well as recalling how everybody was disappointed with SG3). Since my expectations were low, I was able to enjoy it even more🙈

Haha a pretty perfect swan song! Everybody seems to be doing well too (never imagined Aguni of all people could ever redeam himself)🤭

He was in a couple of BLs. Cherry magic and another from last year- think it was called Naked Dining or something like that.

Haha I was looking for this comment! Considering how everybody was depressed for months after hearing the news...the surprise cameo was awesome🤭

It's waaaay better- specially the ending. They didn't bow down to a society friendly scenario.

Tmai! The first question was so simple, I was actually looking forward to join with the guessing.....boy was I wrong🙈

I might be wrong but all the characters in this season were fighting some sort of depression. Like with Usagi and her dad, Sachiko with her DV, and so on.
Banda's role seems to be the "temptation towards death". He isn't real (I admit there is a plothole here since the cops can see the Joker card too).

The old man is the final boss- do you fight your depression and continue to live even if you lose everything OR do you find peace by feeling nothing (i.e. death).

👶- ngl I cringed at first when they made it a player since I really didn't like SG's ending but in a way I'm glad they made it a player because rather than playing the old "let's sacrifice ourselves to save an unborn life" mission, the team eventually worked together to save EVERYBODY. The gamble was interesting.

I guess since borderland is based on your subconscience AND both Arisu and Usagi wanted their child, the featus counts as being alive to them even if it's just an embryo since it's their choice? It's just like how the brother's last moment was to see his sister get married instead of a grusome moment like with Tethsu?

I don't think they remember what happened in the borderland again. All Arisu did was trust Ann blindly and somehow saved Usagi.

It's like with S2's ending- no memories but you have a strange sense of feeling that something happened?

(In Ann's case, she's staying at a sanitorium so she's probably more in touch with her "journey" compared to others)
