History

In the original world, Arisu was a moody unemployed teenager, constantly in conflict with his family over his reluctance to attend job interviews. His addiction to computer games, however, proves advantageous to him after he and his friends are transported to the Borderlands, where he is able to take a macro view of the deadly games and deduce certain details about their designs in order to find a solution. As demonstrated during his time in the parallel Tokyo, deep down Arisu is a kind and caring individual, whose first instinct is to help people around him rather than betray them to save himself. He shows compassion to friends and foes alike, attempts to understand everyone's reasoning and see through their anger, knowing that there is usually pain hidden behind it.
