Previously on Alice in Borderland

Now: Episode 6

In a quick flashback, Hatter is seen walking with Aguni in a pre-Beach-ified resort/hotel with him quoting Ghandi with "Be the change you want to see in the world." Goofy but ok. Aguni is just standing right behind him listening to him rile himself up how he is going restore hope in this wasteland. Cool story, bro.

Cutting back to modern time is current Hatter looking at all the cards in his possession while slowly putting them in a locked box and looking up menacingly.

It's not in the early morning hours and a sleepy Arisu is awakened by the ever so optimistic Usagi trying to wake his ass up. They're in separate but adjoining rooms. Before he starts his little intel mission on what everybody else knows about this Beach organization, Usagi warns him to take swift caution as the militant peeps are probably keeping a close eye on him due to their last altercation. At least Hatter is cool with him, I think.

Off he sets to talk to random people that are willing to talk to him. A lot of it is heresay but he hears things ranging from this area being surrounded by jungles, play area only being confined to Tokyo, escaping is futile, oh and aliens being behind their captivity. Wild stuff.

Usagi and Arisu basically get nowhere and take a stroll outside. She decides she wants to head out to the annex for some food and walks off leaving Arisu all alone. He sees 2 girls that were briefly staring at him last episode that are now talking on the 2nd floor balcony. He tries to chat with them but looks like they got spooked and run off.

Like immediately after they take their leave, there are gun shots being echoed in the distance. He decides to follow wherever the hell it came from and peeked around the corner. He sees 3 militants walking from a dumpster and back inside the building. Arisu sneaks over to peer inside the dumpster and is horrified to see DEAD FUCKING BODIES!! The entire dumpster is nearly filled to the rim with bikini wearing corpses. My god.

Chisiya and Kuina appear from the shadows (not really) and cautions Arisu that they definitely take the "Death to traitors" rule seriously. 

Next scene is where all three are on the roof for a super secret meeting lol. Chisiya quickly pieced together that him and Usagi were digging for information and asks if they are planning anything?? Arisu says nahhhhh. Chisiya doesn't buy that so he tries to pry it out of him. 

Of course, he lowers his guard and tells them that all he wants is answers on who is behind this game and how TF he can go back home. Chisiya says while it sounds nice and all but his plan is not feasible if he wants to be #1. Only #1 gets to go home and of course he's a newbie so.....He cuts to the chase and says he wants to work with them. 

After their little rooftop meeting is over just as quickly as it began, he circles back with Usagi who discusses her concerns.

For some reason, quickly flashes back to Chisiya who immediately says he wants to concoct a plan to flat out STEAL Hatter's cards so he can get the hell away from the beach. Arisu's face in the meantime is like 😮

The beach is currently having a glamorous going away send off for Hatter as he prepares to go off to presumably play a game. Everyone is all happy and shit while scenes keep interslicing (not word? don't currrr) with Arisu telling Usagi now in their room that there is no utopia that Hatter claims. He single handedly built this place to give people a false sense of hope that was only achievable by his charismatic nature. There is no real utopia. He turns around "Usagi, I need to tell you something."

Hatter and some of his crew arrive to a now dimly lit arena entering as if they already knew they will win. Meanwhile, an unknown figure peers around the corner.

The next morning, Tatta is seen making a mad dash down the hall ways to Anne, who is in the middle of dissecting a corpse. Grossed at the sight, he still tells her to come immediately.

Arisu and Usagi are en route to meet up with Hatter but get stopped by the military goons with Niragi swinging his dick around saying no one asked him to be here. Chisiya, being an executive, chimes in and says he was the one who requested them to attend. After a little scoff, he allows only Arisu in. 

Inside the room (the one with all the cards on the wall where they first met Hatter) is all the executives gathered around the table with...get this, Hatter's body laying down on the table with Aguni standing right in the middle. This when Tatta and Anne walk right in as well.

Hatter's dead, bruh.

Anne gets a closer inspection and sees a gun shot wound?? Not a laser so this has nothing to do with him necessarily losing a game. Perhaps the game he attended included guns? Tatta pipes up and says that players nearby confirmed to hearing gunshots so this is a possibility. So....what is going to happen now?

As #2, Kuzuryu says he will assume position to be the new leader. Niragi shoots that down immediately and says this is now a democracy and executives will vote for the new leader instead. Guess who Niragi votes for? The mysterious Aguni. He does the first voting session and not to anyone's shock, not a single vote.

Niragi gives the nod to Takatora Samura to give them all intimidation tactics. Once again, voting begins. Pointing a sword at each one they are forced to all unanimously vote for Aguni under blatant duress. 

All settled then, Aguni is the new leader. Well, fuck.

Mira protests that Hatter would never allow this. Niragi flexes his dick further by saying Hatter can't do shit if he is dead. He walks over to his dead body and repeatedly hits his body with the butt of his gun. Even spits on him. Gross! 

Aguni says that is enough. Now that he is the new leader of the Beach and from this day forward, things are going to hella change around here. Before that though, he must go through the black envelope ceremony.

Chisiya is overheard explaining to presumably Arisu about how this ceremony works. So the cards all the players earn are all kept in a box in the royal suite and the code to get into it is within this sealed black envelope. With old school wax using his ring to indent the wax. The only time this will be opened is when there is a new #1. 

While he is explaining, flashbacks from Hatter's ceremony is being flashed back to us as well as transitioning to the new ceremony that Aguni is now commencing. This time with more executives in attendance, implying The Beach was formed and executives were chosen before current executives took their position. Chisiya that is now in attendance keeps a close eye on Aguni's expression as he opens the envelope and looks at the contents that only he can see. 

After he seals the envelope back up, it is now done. 

Chisiya continues to talk but now he is in the room with Arisu while the Beach welcoming ceremony begins and Usagi continuing more on what his plan entails. He wants Arisu to infiltrate the suite and break in into the safe. He gives him a walkie and will give him the code when it is time. Arisu is like totally on board despite Usagi's reservations on how dangerous this mission in. Oh well. 

All the Beach people's are currently gathered in the main lobby as Niragi break's the news about Hatter being dedz. They're shocked. Aguni gets introduced and right when he is starting his speech, is when Chisiya beeps his walkie to Arisu to tell him to get to business.

Arisu successfully enters the royal suits and finds the safe in a closet. Before Chisiya tells him the code, he goes on an annoying humble brag how he figured out what the code is. To put it short, it's his ring. BOSS but in number form can be easily translated to 5022. Arisu enters the numbers but holy fuck it does NOT work!!! The alarm starts blaring and Arisu expectantly panics to all hell. He keeps trying to call for Chishiya but is met with silence.

Niragi ninja behind him and catches him red handed. Literally all the militants are in the room and well fuck he is cornered! In walks that motherfucka Chisiya juggling his walkie one handed like the backstabbing mofo he is with that shit eating grin on his face revealed to be a double agent. Things are made worse when other militants drag Usagi into the room while she calls for him over and over while Niragi beats him with the butt of the shot gun. 

Aguna thanks Chishiya for his efforts to finally give him a reason to get rid of our main character once and for all. Niragi continues to beat Arisu until he is unconscious.

When he comes to, he finds himself tied to a chair with duct tape around his ears and eye. All while Niragi is talking to him. I mean...what is the point when he can't hear shit???

So yeah, their plan is not to out right kill him but have him wait for his impending death for the lasers to come down and wipe him out when his visa will inevitable expire. Niragi even taunts that when he takes his leave he is going to have some "FUN" with Usagi. Ohhh noes!

Chishiya and Kuina are now doing the exact same plan he used Arisu for. But now Kuina is on the other side while Chishiya infiltrates the royal suite. He explains that the reason why he betrayed Arisu is so that 1) He won't suspect him after he showed loyalty to backstabbing Arisu, a man he hates 2) So Aguni will subsconsciously reveal with his concerned knowledge of where the safe REALLY is! Turns out, it's in behind the deer painting on the wall, not in the closest. The paper that was in the black envelope was not a code but in fact a drawing of the deer. 

Aaaand what do ya know? He is correct on all accounts and this motherfucka now has possession of all the cards. The. FUCK.

Meanwhile the militant goons take Usagi into another room and hold her down while Niragi creepily molests her. Pretty damn gross. He starts licking her body but she fights back by biting him when he goes in for a smooch. He taunts about how he is going to sexually assault her but before anything happens...something...happens.

Chishiya and Kuina are outside. He is happy but Kuina has a guilty conscience about throwing them to the wolves. However, right when she is about to walk off the Beach premises, Chishiya's spidey sense be tingling. He tells her to not move.

He tosses his wristband and holy fuck. It got lasered. Now NO ONE CAN LEAVE!!!!!!

TV's and monitors everywhere are stopped dead ass saying that the entire BEACH are going to collectively play a game together!!!! Awwwwww shit

Niragi and friends are glued to the TV as this message is playing. Usagi uses this as an opportunity to yeet the fuck out there.

Everyone gathers in the lobby to get their phones. They are all in the lobby and see a grueling discovery. A young girl (the one Arisu was trying to get intel from but they ran off) is DEAD!!!!!

Momoka, her friend, runs frantically to her body crying in sadness. The girl's body has a single stab wound so this looks like to be a game of a WHODUNNIT?!?!?!?

Their phones collectively light up to commence the game. "WITCH HUNT" The object of the game is to figure out who killed this woman. Once they throw the murderer's body in the put of fire roasting outside is when the game is completeled.

Everyone is looking in horror and scene....

Episode 7 is next.
