WE FORGOT THE JOKER!! Twins React To Alice In Borderland S2x8 

This is a metaphor where people are in a state of life and death, how they struggle in the game reflects their struggle to live in a critical condition after being hit by a meteor

the collective disappointment at 26:14 is making me cackle 😭😭

You can see Usagi blurred at the intersection in the very first episode of the drama. Someone did a video comparing that scene at the start and in the final episode and they align well, the moment the lights go off is when the meteor hits. The first time the scene is shown from different angles so we only see Usagi not the others.

It's a hearts game so it's about playing with the mind. If Mira just attacked them it would be more like a spades game, so that wasn't very likely. If it was virtual reality as first suggested then all of that world would have been virtual reality even before the fireworks, as I thought Mira suggested. There were clues all through, but particularly in the last 8 episodes, that it was about having the will to live and fighting to survive. The 'borderland' they enter is between life and death. It isn't a normal world but it looks like one. The games represent the fight to survive after the meteor strike. They have the same injuries in the game as in real life. All players we know were seen at the site of the meteor. When someone died in real life this was seen as the laser hitting them, or a collar exploding etc. In a lot of these games people sacrificed themselves, others had a greater will to live. So even if shot a lot or running into fire like Aguni you don't necessarily die here. There were always suggestions that this world was different, how could Aguni possibly survive a tiger jumping at him by punching it? The citizens will have been given a choice in an earlier round of games to become citizens or return. A citizen's role seems to be to test those in future games, they have no will to return to real life. That some get lasered suggests that their will to live has also gone in this battle for life. The drama has been renewed so we'll see if they explain the Joker. So far they have followed what the manga apparently did, but it's possible they could change things. The music makes the Joker ominous but I think all the characters we saw successfully return to life actually did.

they’re currently filming for season 3 now 🤩

Thanks for reacting, this show is incredible and I love watching others react to the rollercoaster of emotions it brings - I hope we get more of the same in S3, and I look forward to seeing your reaction when the time comes. :) Can I suggest that you reorder your playlists so the show episodes are in the correct order (ie. right now the playlist goes from ep8-ep1)? Also S2 playlist is missing episode 4!

They are in the Border between life and death, it is hinted to in the first game that they played when Arisu's friends were alive. Those who chose to become citizens of that world died in the world of the living. The Joker is a representation of the game played in the world of the Living , the game of life, and life can be any type of game ( heart,spade,diamond, and club) and it is game no one can win (we all will die one day)
