Tatta - Tumblr Posts
alice in borderland spoilers!
my theory as to why tatta died while others (ex. niragi) who faced worse survived
i think it has to do with someone’s will to live. when we learn about tatta’s backstory, we see he carrie’s incredible guilt for what happened to his coworker because of him. he believed he deserved his fate because of what he had done. he had no one to live for and it was easy for him to resign to his fate and let go
it’s almost impossible that niragi would survive being torched, thrown off a building, shot, pushed into a building on fire, and being shot another few times for good measure. how does tatta break his arm and bleed out but niragi is okay? because niragi has a stronger will to live
niragi feels no guilt about his past actions and is fighting for himself to survive. he would never willingly succumb to death. i think the fight against death in the borderlands is more of a mental battle than a physical one
the other characters who survive also have something that they are fighting for which gives them the strength to keep going no matter how dire the situation
arisu is fighting to live on in karube and chota’s memory
usagi is fighting for her father and to get back with arisu (i have a feeling she would have died if she hadn’t had the change of heart and decided she wanted to go back to the real world)
kuina is fighting to see her mother again
chishiya, similar to niragi, is fighting for his own survival but near the end it changes to where he is fighting for the survival of others
aguni is fighting for hatter
heiya is fighting for aguni
ann did technically die and i think it is because she didn’t have anything left to live for. but i also believe she managed to be brought back because kuina’s dying words reached her and reignited her will to live
when we look at karube and chota’s deaths, we can see that they also give in to their fate and don’t fight back at the end. i wonder if that would have changed if they decided to work together in the game rather than against each other
