Alice in Borderland - Episode 7

 

Episode seven is the penultimate episode of the series and in this episode the occupants of the hotel have to undertake an investigation to find out who murdered a young woman named Momoka and then burn that person alive in a fire pit which is called “The Fire of Judgement”. It’s really quite a gruesome murder, because she was stabbed to death. Also, for most of the episode her body is splayed out in the hotel lobby while everyone moves around her. While I like the show overall, sometimes it’s moments such as these which remind me of just how grisly it is.

The rules are that the players have to work together to find “the witch”. They have only two hours to do so. Aguni, the new leader, and his henchmen build the fire, but then they go crazy with bloodlust and start throwing just about everyone into the fire in order to catch the killer and get the final card. Many of the occupants of the hotel are arbitrarily and viciously murdered. While all of this is going on, Usagi finds a way to rescue Arisu from his confinement in the hotel room, Ann discovers that the Hatter was actually murdered and not really killed in a game and Kuina and Chishiya get into fights with other players. But as always, in the end, it is Arisu who figures out the identity of the real killer…..

Words/phrases that I recognized:  ここまでして: said by Chishiya to Kuina as they hide out in the security room, so that they won’t get killed |  でも、うちは：said by Kuina while taunting the person she’s about the fight
