#Alice in borderland theory

I feel like Ann was brought back to life but still died in Borderland as a means to have someone who remembered what happened because her surviving (despite dying) was a unique instance of that happening 👀

Niragi Suguru : A Character Analysis

PRE-INTRO NOTE ! Hey Tumblr, guess who's back on a new account after 2 years since my dumbass accidentally deleted my original acc. What a shame.. Anyways ! I hope you all will enjoy my first work of 2025 ٭ INTRODUCTION Today im doing a character analysis on Niragi Suguru (from Alice in Borderland / 今際の国のアリス, of course). I will be using both series and manga references to get my point across. I've noticed that with the rise of AIB online, there are many strong opinions on characters, 'characters' being Niragi. I often see comments like "I hate Niragi" and "Bullying doesn't justify what he did to Usagi." and fairly, I agree ! I don't think that what Niragi experienced when he was younger gives him a get out of jail free card for every wrongdoing. Though while it isn't an excuse, it is a reason. NIRAGI SUGURU : BASIC CHARACTER BREAK DOWN Niragi Suguru- at first glance he's a violent, overly confident, gun obsessed freak beach executive. Throughout both the manga and series, Niragi has been known to be aggressive, threatening, and an overall asshole. Though, with a little bit of research, his story proves him to be more than just the sadistic villain he's represented as.

In 10 of Hearts / Witch Hunt, (!Manga) Niragi purposely riles up the beach in order to make the game more entertaining for himself. Usagi claims he's not even an animal (as she claimed he was before in the well-known sexual assault scene that I honestly will NOT bother explaining unless necessary). Niragi then replies to this by saying that "It's predisposition- man, left to his own devices.." Niragi mentions something similar to this when he is assaulting Usagi, noting that rape, murder, and other acts of indecency are illegal because they are all part of human nature. This shows us a lot more of his character than most people will even bother to look into. Just by these dialogues, we can tell that Niragi believes we should revel in our true human nature, boasting our human behavior whether it's disgusting or not. PSYCHOLOGY OF NIRAGI SUGURU According to nu.edu, human behavior is learned, affected by the environment one lives in. 'Environment' being this.

Niragi grew up being constantly bullied and abused by his classmates. This had serious effects on his self image and development, these events taking a toll on his behavior even years later in the borderlands. Niragi referencing his bully telling him "I told you targets don't move." during the Witch Hunt. v

His behavior was learned from his bullies, who he mimicked later in life in order to gain self confidence and feel like he was in power. Niragi's actions and behavior were created and carried out in a desperate attempt to feel like he deserved the abuse he endured when he was younger. In season 2, episode 2 of the live action series during King of Clubs / Osmosis, he states the following during a flashback to his childhood; "I don't know if they hated me because I was twisted, or if I became twisted because they hated me." It's proved in the manga that Niragi became twisted because they hated him (Chapter 23)

^ He claims that he'd be miserable unless he changed. He became a terrible person with the intent to feel like he deserved everything that he had to experience prior to his adulthood. He thrives on destroying himself and other people's views of him. "I'm going to make everyone wish they never met me." (Somewhere in season 2..) + "I'll continue living, despised by others. I will continue to incur hate, and hold my head up high as I go to Hell!!" (Chapter 54) Also in chapter 54, he winds up in a church and cites a scripture (?) about Jesus. He says this;

In this scene, I believe Niragi is reflecting on his outcome of experiencing hatred compared to Jesus. Jesus was despised by his peers, which Niragi relates to, as he was bullied relentlessly. Though the thing that separates Jesus from Niragi is that Jesus was loved for years and years after his abuse. Niragi never got that kind of treatment- he had nobody to care for him nor love him. My theory is that he continued to be hated and uncared for even after the bullies were done with him, leading him to believe that he must have been twisted and that's why nobody wanted to help him.

This is what separates Niragi from his peers. Despite acting so terribly, he's separated from his bullies because unlike his bullies he became terrible to feel like he deserved everything. He's different from practically everyone else he knows because of his terribleness. In Chapter 56, the seventh day of exhibitions, Niragi sorta talks on this topic.

I also note that he follows the line with "You're lucky you're on the side of the populace." I think that Niragi is heavily referencing his differences with other people in this scene. It's possible that he may be referring to the fact that if everyone was like him, they would all be victims, making Arisu the perpetrator. It's also possible that he's referring to the fact that he doesn't believe in kindness (especially not kindness at heart) but realizes that there really isn't anyone like him as Arisu and his gang showed him kindness despite what Niragi put them through. There are a lot of different theories for this and they all seem to point towards Niragi feeling something deeply wrong with him, not his actions, but him as a person. CONCLUSION Niragi wasn't meant to be just a villain. He isn't just meant to be the guy you dread every time you see him on the screen. He's meant to represent what happens when someone is dehumanized. With each baseball strike, the more he was reduced to scum. Trash. By the time he was grown up he had known no empathy nor experienced it, given or received. In the universe of Alice in Borderland, whether you humiliated him or ignored him, Niragi is the villain, sure. But if there were 7 billion of him, the evil one would be you.

Still don't get it?? Compare Niragi to "Pigs" by Tyler, the Creator. Very similar concept.

Well that's time, see you next week :) [Or not] Feel free to leave suggestions !

Okay why ain't nobody talking about Netflix releasing AIB SEASON 3!? LIKE OMG

@creamwh0re @aceofspadegrass @alisblackgf DOES THIS MEAN ARISU'S KID OR IS IT GONNA BE JUST HIM GOING BACK IN THE GAMES CUZ OF THE JOKER CARDS!? please I need you guy's thoughts about this cuz its been too damn long since we all talked about AIB :((

[iheartbanda]

HONESTLY. Even tho he had no time Bandas character had potential, that’s why I love him sm tbh. I genuinely feel like his character would’ve been so interesting to follow along, but at the same time i feel like it would ruin him as a character. theoretically, the reason Banda had such high importance in the Jack of hearts episode but no recognition in the rest was def to create mystery and suspension surrounding the background of his character. Since he is so mysterious.. when it comes to speaking on rank in intelligence most people don’t recognize how extraordinary he actually is. It’s so easy for him to disguise not only his emotions but also his characteristics using manipulative tactics that practically hypnotize his target. THIS is what drove me to him honestly. His end speech to the Jack made it obvious this was an easy game for him as well which truly makes me question how strong his abilities actually are. SORRY I HAD TO RANT.

ann, mira, and usagi from Alice In Borderland can fuck me up but there's unfortunately little to no fanfics of them so i was wondering if you could perhaps do like a reaction to their darlings being in danger (or get hurt) while playing the games and what they would do to protect the reader

same bestie, I’m here to answer your prayers dw 🖤🖤

tw / trigger warning: yandere-ish, abuse, murder, slitting of throats

(( none of the GIFs are mine, if you feel uncomfortable with yours being used in fics pls message me <3 :) ))

𝐀𝐈𝐁 - 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫

Ann

If anyone dared put their hands on her darling, you best believe she'd kill them immediately. Another participant had tried to sacrifice you instead of himself, pushing you against the edge and she wasted no time running over there to save you.

Not an ounce of guilt would appear on her face as she'd slaughter them mercilessly, only thinking of you and your safety in that moment.

When you'd finally reunite again, Ann would carry a slight smirk on her face; half expecting you to come running into her arms with tears streaming down your face, thanking her over and over again for saving your life.

But of course you didn't, her darling was stupid.

'' Thank you '' you stammered out under your breath as you walked side by side with Ann.

She scoffed loudly, as if she wasn't sure if she had heard you quite right.

'' That's all you have to say? ''

Her steps came to a halt, irritation striking her beautiful features. After every grand gesture she had done for you - you were still oblivious to her feelings?

Cute

She scoffed again and then started walking, leaving your injured-self behind.

'' Wait for me! '' you cried out, regretting whatever thing you had done to piss her off.

You realised in that moment, that you needed her, wether you'd like to admit it or not. She seemed to always have your back, no matter what.

Mira

She always made sure that you'd be safe while participating in the games. It was unfair of course - somehow, you always seemed to survive, getting away with barely a few scratches while others weeped over the lost lives of their loved ones. It was almost as if the game-makers had favourites...

Once people started noticing this, they'd distance themselves from you. Mira didn't mind, it only meant less trouble for her as she wouldn't need to get as jealous now.

They hated your guts and nothing you did seemed to please them, even as you begged them to befriend you, they refused stubbornly.

When the next game rolled around, they weren't taking any chances. The theory had to be tested for itself - they were going to hurt the game-makers' favourite and see what would happen.

Their well thought out plan had been in motion for weeks, unbeknownst to Mira. She could only watch as the contestants surrounded you, alarm bells ringing in her ears as soon as you were out of her sight.

Mira left the monitoring room, the others' protests fell to deaf ears. She ran all the way over to the arena without stopping once and when she arrived she looked insane.

Sweat beads decorated her forehead, she was out of breath and her eyes bulged with rage.

The first to notice her backed away. They knew something was up from the way she carried herself and recognising her also meant she was someone important.

'' Y/n, darling? '' she called out, voice softening momentarily as she called out to you.

You were unresponsive and slumped over on the ground. She could see through the cracks of the people covering her that she was hurt.

They got their theory tested and it turned out it was correct - but was it really worth losing their lives over it?

The last thing they saw were the bloodthirsty and revengeful face of Mira as she slit their throats skillfully.

Usagi

You turned your head several times in both directions, eyes desperately searching for Usagi.

You needed her now more than ever, having been caught in a hidden trap during one of the games. If she didn't find you by luck, you'd likely die as there was no way of getting out on your own.

The teeth of the trap was digging into your skin, drawing blood any time you tried moving around. Tears threatened to spill from your eyes and you were starting to feel tired.

With the night fast approaching, you looked up and prayed for her to find you.

It seemed almost too good to be true as you heard footsteps not long after, hurriedly approaching the spot were you were laying.

'' Usagi? I'm here! '' you screamed, voice slightly hoarse.

Your eyes immediately widened when the runner turned the corner and came into your view - it wasn't her, but another player. An older male who seemed to smirk at your state, prodding you with his foot.

'' Ah, what a shame '' he ticked his tongue.

'' I was about to help, but I want to win so- ''

He erupted into a scream of horror as an ax hit him right in the middle of his head.

You flinched and hid yourself, scared that the person behind him would kill you too.

'' It's just me ''

You relaxed and released the breath you didn't know you were holding in, tears freely falling now as you looked at her with immense gratitude.

'' Thank you '' you cried, letting yourself be held in her arms as she kissed your head, looking as relieved as you were.

Hiii, what do you feel towards Trans!Roku? :3

IMO, it's a pretty cute/interesting theory!! And we need more trans character representation anyways. Yamato from One Piece & Kuina from Alice in Borderland are a few good examples. 😽

Roleplay Request. ꕥ

Hi there!

I’m looking for a literate roleplay partner (long term or not, I’ll let the chemistry between us decide that).

First thing you should know about my writing preference is that my face claims are mostly k-pop idols or korean/japanese/thai actors and I am kind of attracted to the same taste in characters. BUT! I’m also pretty accepting and welcoming to new faces with interesting backgrounds if we manage to establish a nice way of communication between us. I’m interested in bxb interactions and connections, since I don’t do straight couples.

I’m here to explore a lot of captivating ideas and work on many, many plots; I’m attracted to drama, dark romance/forbidden romance, slice of life, real life plots, I can do fluff, I can do smut as well and I can definitely work with angst. I’m not good with supernatural elements, werewolves, zombies, etc.

I can come up with ideas for the both of us, or we can work on the plot together and contribute with tons of ideas and theories for our characters. I’d love to have my characters fall in love with yours, honestly, so... let’s make it possible together! ♥

If this caught your interest enough, like this post and I’ll slide into your DM’s and we can discuss each other’s rules and wishes. <3

Here’s the list with my muses (for now):

HONG JOSHUA (seventeen)

YOON JEONGHAN (seventeen)

XU MINGHAO (seventeen)

CHOI YEONJUN (txt)

LEE MINHO (stray kids)

LIM SEJUN (victon)

KIM HONGJOONG (ateez)

KANG YEOSANG (ateez)

APO NATTAWIN (porsche from kinnporsche)

JEFF SATUR (kim from kinnporsche)

NET SIRAPHOP (king from bed friend)

BOSS CHAIKAMON (payu from love in the air)

KENTO YAMAZAKI (arisu from alice in borderland)

Alright i have this stupid theory and i haven't seen this theory on any other account yet. Anyway we all know karube right? And many people have probably already seen the last episode of Alice in borderland. What if karube is the joker? Let me explain, in the first season the first episode karube said to arisu that arisu would be the last one who would survive if there would be a zombie apocalypse but what if karube actually mean the game? What if karube is the joker? Thats all🤠
