Alice in Borderland Season 1 Episode 8 Plot Summary and Synopsis

In a flashback, Momoka wanders through the empty city with her friend Asahi, recording videos with a working phone.

In the present, Arisu confronts Aguni, who tells the rest of the group that he is “the witch”, but that his victim was not Momoka, but Hatter, who is revealed to have been his best friend, who he shot in self-defense. Arisu concludes that Aguni is not actually the witch, but that it is Momoka, who had killed herself at the start of the game.

As Aguni attempts to kill Niragi, the remaining players throw Momoka into the bonfire, winning the game. As everyone leaves the burning hotel, Chishiya collects the final card.

The next day, Arisu and Usagi watch several videos recorded by Asahi, who had died during the game. In them, Asahi and Momoka reveal that they are “dealers”, players who organize games to extend their visas.

In one video, the pair visit an underground lair filled with “gamemasters”. Arisu and Usagi manage to locate the lair, only finding a pile of executed “gamemasters”, and Chishiya and Kuina, who reveal that the “gamemasters” were actually players.
