Alice in Borderland - Episode 6

 



Episode six is a very exciting episode because of the many surprises that occur. Arisu and Usagi sneak around “The Beach” complex to learn more about the place. However, they make a grisly discovery by finding a large container full of dead and rotting bodies. It is a shocking sight. Apparently, on “The Beach” traitors are killed and dumped. Fellow players Chishiya and Kuina notice Arisu’s disgust at this discovery and leverages his hatred and fear of The Beach to convince him to work with them to steal the Hatter’s (the leader of the Beach) deck of cards. 

Things get a lot more complicated when it’s revealed that the Hatter has been killed. According to his followers, he went to play in a game to extend his time and ended up dying. The captain of the violent gang who polices The Beach is voted in as leader. The vote is not fair, because he threatens everyone and forces them to vote for him. Arisu, Kuina and Chishiya have an even greater incentive to steal the deck of cards from the new volatile new leader.

While Aguni holds a general meeting in the hotel lobby to announce his new regime, Arisu tries to steal the deck of cards. However, it turns out the Kuina and Chishiya were just using him as a decoy, and he is eventually captured, assaulted, and tied up in a hotel room. He is in grave danger of dying because the time on his visa runs out a midnight, in which case, his captors don’t actually have to kill him they can just wait for the game to kill Arisu due to his visa being expired because he can’t play in new games. 

However, everyone’s plans fall into disarray when the entire hotel complex itself becomes a game arena. They all now will be forced to play in a game called “Witch Hunt” in the next episode.

Words/phrases that I recognized:  じゃあ、: when Kuina and Chihiya are talking to each other over walkie talkiesどこにあるん? : When they are asking about the location of the deck of cards.
