With just a couple of weeks to go until the premiere of Alice in Borderland Season 3, excitement is reaching a fever pitch among fans. Across platforms like Reddit, discussions are exploding with fascinating theories, particularly surrounding the identity of the Joker. One intriguing theory points to a connection with Shigenori Usagi, Usagi’s father.
Shigenori Usagi, played by Yusuke Hirayama, was a trained mountain climber featured in the earlier seasons of Alice in Borderland through flashbacks. In these snippets, he often encouraged Usagi to transcend her limits for the sake of her mountaineering skills. However, a scandal about a faked mountain climb reportedly drove him to an untimely death, potentially by suicide, as hinted in the live-action adaptation.
Interestingly, while the manga depicts Shigenori’s body being found, the show chose a different route. His last words to Usagi were, “I’m going to the mountains,” after which he seemingly vanished without a trace. What truly happened to him? Was he a victim of his own tragic choices, or did fate intervene with a fatal accident?
Speculation has emerged that Shigenori might have entered the Borderlands after a near-death experience in the mountains, opting to remain in this bizarre realm as an overseer of the deadly games. One compelling piece of evidence shared on Reddit suggests that in one of Usagi’s flashbacks, her father noted that the world would be better with more mountains, hinting at a possible connection to the mountains Ann discovered while attempting to escape the Borderlands.
This leads to an exciting possibility that Usagi’s father might actually be the Joker in Season 3 of Alice in Borderland. This theory makes sense given that recent trailers indicate Usagi is somehow drawn back into the Borderlands, implying that someone wanted her return—perhaps her own father.
Could it be that in the upcoming season, Usagi will finally face her unresolved grief over her father’s disappearance? If true, this revelation could add profound emotional depth to the series.
What are fans speculating about Joker’s identity?
The theories primarily center around characters with past connections to Usagi, particularly her father, who may have unforeseen ties to the Borderlands.
Are there any hints about Shigenori’s fate in the show?
While viewers are left guessing, past flashbacks portray his complex relationship with Usagi, suggesting that his fate could be pivotal to the storyline.
Will Season 3 address Usagi’s unresolved feelings?
Given the narrative direction in recent trailers, it seems plausible that her journey will involve confronting her father’s legacy and sacrifices.
Is there a deeper meaning behind the mountains in the show?
The mountains symbolize ambition and challenges, paralleling Usagi’s journey and the greater challenges faced in the Borderlands.
As we count down the days until Season 3, let’s keep the conversation going. Whether you’re sharing theories on Reddit or speculating with friends, the anticipation is palpable. For more engaging content, don’t forget to check out Moyens I/O for the latest insights and updates!
