Making me watch this nightmarish episode, in which half of our heroes are forced to climb Tokyo Tower by hand? But the real centerpiece of the episode is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, at least within the world of the show. To the extent Alice in Borderland is about anything, it’s the same concept behind that My Little Pony cartoon: Friendship is magic. We learn this episode that his experiments with near-death experience induction ended with the death of an enthusiastic student and protégé. It seems clear he’s looking for her on the other side of Borderland, just as Usagi is looking for her late father.
