Alice in Borderland introduced us to some of the most intriguing games that any survival game television series has featured to date. However, not all of them require the players to be physically sound; some also give them the chance to showcase their IQ. Initially, Arisu takes the spotlight by making fans believe he has all the wits due to his ‘gamer’ moniker. However, soon, everyone realized that it’s a supporting character who hates being in the spotlight and possesses the highest IQ.
Chishiya Is the Real Genius of Alice in Borderland
We aren’t saying that Arisu, our main protagonist, isn’t an intelligent character; we are just saying that Chishiya is different and stands one step ahead of the lead boy. Chishiya is smart, but he doesn’t want to flaunt it; instead, he is often perceived as a calm individual who dedicates himself fully to winning the survival games. You can say that his brain has a superpower, or it simply functions like a supercomputer. Chishiya doesn’t require too much time to solve even the most complex puzzles.
His intellect isn’t just about analyzing situations or making strategies to win a game; in fact, he is someone who stays calm and reads his opponents like a book. Following all the studies, he takes a moment to figure out their weaknesses before making a move. For instance, in the Light Bulb Game, Chishiya solved the puzzle by breaking down the rules in simple steps with ease before anyone else.
When you first meet him in Alice in Borderland Season 1, his cool personality grabs your attention, but as the story moves forward, his genius mind attracts you more. There have been several games, such as The Beach and Hearts Games, where Chishiya manages to control the players without them even realizing it. He frequently took charge of multiple games from the shadows, particularly the ones involving logical analysis.
A competent player like Chishiya makes the television series way more exciting, and now that he won’t be there in Alice in Borderland Season 3, let’s see if someone else can fill the void.
