Aaron Alexander and Tara Erickson dive deep into the intense start of Season 2, where Arisu (Kento Yamazaki – Kingdom, Orange), Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya – Rurouni Kenshin, The 8-Year Engagement), Kuina (Aya Asahina – Girl Gun Lady), and Tatta (Yutaro Watanabe – Gunjou no Subete) face the terrifying King of Spades, one of the deadliest Face Card challenges yet. Separated survivors like Chishiya (Nijiro Murakami – Kakegurui) and Ann (Ayaka Miyoshi – Dance With Me) must also fight to endure. The shocking “Osmosis” game against Kyuma (Tomohisa Yamashita – Code Blue) raises the stakes with high-risk team combat, brutal strategy, and unexpected twists. Tatta’s heartbreaking backstory unfolds, Arisu risks everything to protect Usagi, and we see new layers of trust, betrayal, and survival that set the tone for the season. Packed with shocking violence, emotional beats, and gripping social commentary, these episodes set up the battle between players and Citizens that defines Season 2. With Stranger Things 5 and Severance 2 setting the bar high for modern streaming, Alice in Borderland continues to prove why it’s Netflix’s crown jewel of Japanese thriller drama. #AliceInBorderland #AliceInBorderlandSeason2 #AliceInBorderlandReaction #AliceInBorderlandReview #AliceInBorderlandBreakdown #Netflix #NetflixReaction #Manga #KentoYamazaki #TaoTsuchiya #AyaAsahina #NijiroMurakami #TomohisaYamashita #React #Reaction #MovieReaction #FirstTimeWatching #Movie #Review #MovieReview Severance Season 2 Finale Reaction https://youtu.be/D9zS-ozA_h8 The Hunger Games (2012) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/4G1mHBCDs2U Weapons Reaction https://youtu.be/-2Pwi8zyVRk Barbarian (2022) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/VnkLe3bTgpc 0:00 Checking In! 1:05 Alice in Borderland 2x1 Reaction 24:41 Huel 26:13 Alice in Borderland 2x2 Reaction 47:33 Alice in Borderland 2x3 Reaction 01:06:31 Alice in Borderland Review Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

There's a lot of plot armor this season but there's a reason for it. Just suspend your disbelief. Haha

"Urumi", who you called "Alice", was so cool, and in the manga it says that she knew the others were lying to her, but she got bored of playing games so she deliberately said the wrong form. And she was eliminated.

omg Tara! I LOVE Physical 100! 🤩 just one small correction: it’s a Korean show but I do think there’s a Japanese show that is similar; I can’t remember what it’s called though. I am having such a blast with these reactions! 😃
