Alice in Borderland Season 3 is about to be released, but that hasn’t kept fans from making speculations and theories. While there are several brilliant theories, one about the mental hospital might not be canon, but it’s even better than that. As a fan on Reddit recently pointed out, Borderland might actually be Arisu’s elaborate fantasy born from trauma.

The idea is that Arisu never really enters Borderland. Instead, he’s unconscious in a hospital, and the games serve as his mind’s therapeutic escape. This mental hospital theory resonates because it treats Alice in Borderland as a story about grief, but there is no way to know if any of the events are real, keeping fans coming back for more.

It comes as no shock that Netflix has been killing it in the TV adaptation section; some believed it was One Piece that changed the notion. However, the real ones know that Alice in Borderland is the underrated masterpiece that is creeping its way to everyone’s watchlist. With a dystopian plot and a complex plot delving into the moral depth of characters, many believe it is better than Squid Game, and for all the right reasons.

Amidst the need to survive and waiting for ages for Season 3, it found some interesting conspiracy theories from the fans, which revolved around the plot and the characters. However, one fan took it too far, sharing their views on how Ginji Kyuma and Keiichi Kuzuryū might be secretly gay.
