With the revelation of the Joker and the conclusion of 'Alice in Borderland' season 2, anticipation is building for the series' third season. Fans are eager to see if familiar faces from the original cast will return.
Should season 3 continue to follow the worldbuilding as laid out in the manga, the Joker's presence suggests that the main characters will inevitably be drawn back into the Borderlands' games. A popular theory among fans proposes that the supposed meteor strike in Tokyo might have been a manipulation by the Joker himself.
Fans remain intrigued about Yaba and Banda's decision to stay behind in the Borderlands. Their goal is clear: ascend to the status of game masters. The ending of season 2 hints at bigger roles for them, possibly even becoming Jokers themselves.
There's concern over the series straying from its manga roots, similar to what happened with 'The Promised Neverland,' but the direct sequel, 'Alice in Borderland Retry,' could provide a roadmap for the upcoming season.
The Netflix adaptation has opted to carve out new storylines, yet retains the involvement of key creators, which may reassure fans about the continuation of the series. According to theories, viewers might witness the characters wrestling with retaining their memories and possibly defeating the Joker, potentially bringing the series to a satisfying conclusion.
