Joker is not a person in Alice in Borderland live-action series. It is a metaphorical representation of a gatekeeper between life and death. The Joker in Alice in Borderland is tasked to guide people toward their death, and in turn, the death spares him for his services.
In the final episode of Alice in Borderland Season 3, when Banda tried to kill Arisu for refusing to stay in the purgatory, he was killed by a laser. The next moment, a man appears in front of Arisu, who asks him to play a final game with him. The man says that if he wins the game, Arisu’s destiny will be decided by him. After picking two Joker cards randomly from a deck of cards, Arisu is given two choices by the man: to join the land of death by drowning in the vortex or return to his land by choosing the opposite side of the vortex.
At this moment, the man reveals that Joker is not a person in Alice in Borderland. It is a bridge that connects the gaps between the time of the life and death of a person.
Joker’s identity in Alice in Borderland live-action TV show is very similar to Alice in Borderland Manga. In the AIB manga, Joker is revealed to be a ferryman who carries the dead people’s souls to an afterlife.
