Duty First, Kiss Later | Episode 2

As we go through life, a lot happens, right? You can trust someone, only to be betrayed. You can give something everything you've got, and end up getting trampled. In this world, so many people take everything and have no shame. And yet… music. We believe in the power of music. And someone continues to fight the good fight. You know her. Her honesty and faith in music is unparalleled. Seeing her bravery, I felt... We felt the presence of an unstoppable force. Yukino's here!

Look, I’ll always be up for however many seasons of Alice in Borderland they decide to make. But Usagi trying to find her dead father (??) and ending up back in the Borderland - even though it wasn’t her intention, and she was manipulated (?????) - is NOT the way to kick things off. And yet… here we are.

So, for the sake of my sanity, I’ll just ignore the nonsense reasoning and focus on what matters: the games and my eternal Usagi/Arisu OTP.

ALTHOUGH 😭😭😭

HELLO PROFESSOR, SIR - TEACH ME SOMETHING, YOU MAY ALSO PUNISH ME IF YOU WISH LOL.

Like… after two seasons and a pretty tight closure, if you’re gonna milk this series with dumb plot excuses and new characters I cannot possibly care about, then I reserve the right to shamelessly objectify the hot professor.

And I’m just gonna say it: is the professor’s disability purely for plot purposes? Like, we’re meant to sympathize with him, but at the same time not fully ship him with Usagi (which is already 90% impossible because Arisu >>> everyone)… Jeez, Japan. Get it together.

Also, as a shipper myself, I kind of hated that the Prof/Usagi team-up actually won the games. Yes, I needed Usagi to win, but I never understood why she was so aligned with a man who literally dragged her back to the Borderland because of his afterlife/dead student obsession… Kaku Kento is SO HOT THO 😭 UGH🫠

Also the brother–sister subplot?? Had me in TEARS. Like 5 minutes of family issues and I was already crying on the floor 😭😭
