Kyuma is also the only one who has a long and meaningful conversation with the protagonist – true, there is a longer conversation that takes place in the final episode, but the level of honesty in that exchange is up for debate. Out of all the citizens that Arisu and his team fight, the King of Clubs is the only one that makes them reflect about where they are, what could Borderland be, and if they really feel like returning to the “real” world.
According to Kyuma, only by looking at death in the eye you can really reveal your true self, and that's why he likes living in Borderland.Īs the season progresses, you realize that Kyuma was right at least in part. In Borderland, nothing is off the table and you can fully expose yourself – which, visually, translates to the King of Clubs wearing no clothes and constantly inviting people to have heart-to-hearts. Kyuma also comments that society is tethered to rules that make us wear masks and shields which frequently prevent us from forming meaningful connections and having brutally honest conversations.

RELATED: 'Alice in Borderland': The Differences Between the Manga and the Netflix Series Kyuma states that Borderland unveils the true nature of the human being, and because of that, it can be perceived as a lot more real than the world they left behind. Before they gear up to play the symbiosis game, Kyuma and Arisu have a conversation about the “real world” in which Kyuma questions Arisu’s belief that Tokyo from Season 1, Episode 1 might not be the real thing at all. The second reason is that, narratively, having Kyuma never wear clothes helps underscore the character’s philosophy. All things considered, it’s actually surprising that the series doesn’t feature more characters who blatantly ignore social constructs – other than, you know, the ones who kill mercilessly with no punishment. He gets to do what he wants and dress - or undress - as he likes, and no one can force him to wear anything. The first reason why Kyuma is naked all the time is that he’s been in Borderland longer than the new players, and he came to understand that he’s living in a world where societal rules no longer apply. For Kyuma, Being Naked Is The Ultimate Exposure
