| “ | I don't know if everyone hated me because I was twisted, or if I became twisted because everyone hated me. | „ |
| ~ Niragi about his own personality. |
| “ | I'm simply doing what I want the way I want it! You guys are the same way! It's always "Me!" with you two! It's always about what you want! You aren't experts on life just because you saw a bunch of people die! "Living for others"? That's such bulls--t! All we really care about is our own selves! As long as it's good for us, that's all we need! | „ |
| ~ Niragi to Arisu and Chishiya. |
Suguru Niragi is a major antagonist in the Netflix series Alice in Borderland, based on the manga of the same name. He is the right-hand of Aguni and second-in-command of the Beach militants (one of the two factions that controls the Beach), until the Ten of Hearts game occurs and the resort is sent into a state of chaos.
He is portrayed by Dori Sakurada. In the English dub, he is voiced by Marcel Jeannin.
Personality[]
Niragi is a dangerous militant member of the Beach who is notorious for his perilous nature, displaying sadistic tendencies, cruelty, and a disturbing level of insanity. His twisted pleasure stems from witnessing the agony of others, while actively seeking opportunities to assert dominance and control over his fellow beings. This despicable behavior is evident through numerous instances, highlighting his severe lack of empathy, and an alarming disregard for the sanctity of life, unless it serves some advantageous purpose for him.
In addition to deriving pleasure from causing harm to others, he displayed a disturbing eagerness to subject Usagi to sexual assault, relishing in the sense of control and dominance it gave him over both himself and Usagi. This disturbing behavior can be traced back to his traumatic experiences of enduring severe bullying in the past. These experiences have left him with a profound sense of insecurity, one that he desperately wants to keep hidden from the world. In an attempt to regain a sense of power and assertiveness, he feels compelled to exert the same level of dominance and control over others that his bullies once exerted over him.
Biography[]
Backstory[]
During his school years, young Niragi was beaten and bullied by a group of teenagers, which deeply traumatized him and made him grow into such a sadistic and crazy person.
The Beach[]
When the Beach was founded he was recruited to join the Militant Core as right-hand man to serve and follow Aguni's orders.
One day, Arisu and Usagi are stalking Beach players and end up following them to the Beach and once they make it, they get kidnapped by Hatter and he introduces himself and welcomes the two to the Beach. When the two are promoted an altercation happens between Arisu and his boss Aguni, and when Arisu defies him, Aguni orders Niragi to break both of Arisu's legs so he dies in the next game.
This is before Hatter steps in and breaks it up before a fight occurs, and warns Aguni to stand down. Which he does so accordingly.
The Takeover[]
After Aguni kills Hatter in self-defense in an attempt to get him to disband the Beach, a meeting within the Beach executive occurs.
The meeting starts, and the news comes out that Hatter is dead and they express that the original plan is to promote everyone's numbers up accordingly, in which Keiichi Kuzuryu was supposed to be promoted from the number two to the number one in Hatter's place. Before Niragi interrupts and states that he believes the strongest should be the leader, and that Aguni and the Militant Core should rule because they're the ones who've been getting rid of the traitors.
When Kuzuryu states we should do as the rules follow, Niragi says that since the "snobbish dictator" is dead and that the power has shifted, they should be "democratic" and go with the majority.
He askes everyone in the room if people agree for Aguni to be the new leader, and when no one agrees he and Takatora Samura threaten everyone to raise their hands and eventually they all do so. Making Aguni the King of the Beach.
During Aguni's official ceremony to become the King, Arisu, Usagi, and Chishiya are planning behind the scenes to steal the playing cards. However, Chishiya betrays Arisu and gives him the wrong code and the wrong safe to the playing cards so he can earn the trust of the Militant Core.
When it's found out that Arisu and Usagi tried to break into the safe, Niragi ruthlessly beats up Arisu and is ordered by Aguni to have him imprisoned.
| “ | You really came in so brazenly. | „ |
| ~ Niragi to Arisu after finding him trying to get into the safe. |
Ten of Hearts Game[]
Once he imprisoned Arisu, he begins to strip down, assault, and tries to have his way with Usagi. This is until the powered off TV Screen in the room goes white and informs everyone that the Ten of Hearts game will occur and the Beach is the venue. Giving Usagi a moment to escape to the lobby.
When everyone is in the lobby, people begin speculating on who the "witch" is and who killed Momoka which makes him excited. However his recklessness and little care for others truly shows when he starts immediately accusing people of being the witch, and when Aguni orders the militants to kill everyone Niragi is ecstatic and guns down a man before he could even finish his sentence.
He took great pride in killing everyone and was undoubtedly one of the main leads for the massacre, as he even goes up to the roof and snipes people down. Until Chishiya comes up and starts questioning him, and after much disagreement they get into a fight. Chishiya wins this fight by throwing the playing cards he stole at him to distract Niragi so Chishiya can use his DIY flamethrower on Niragi, setting him on fire as he jumps off the roof while engulfed in flames.
| “ | In the first place, I should have just burned down the Beach with the Fire of Judgment. With this, I'll clear the game! | „ |
| ~ Niragi in a deluded state |
After much discussion amongst the Beach members on who the witch is, we see a now disfigured Niragi limping over to the crowd as he sets people on fire and guns them down. When he's about to kill Arisu, a fed up Aguni charges in front of the bullets and tackles down Niragi.
King of Clubs Game[]
It's never revealed what happened between Niragi and Aguni, but in the second season Niragi makes an appearance at the King of Clubs entrance. He was the first to sign up for it by putting on the bracelet which he couldn't take off.
However when Arisu, Usagi, Kuina, and Tatta are going to join the game and Niragi reveals himself to them and talks about how he has to join them because he already signed up and five players are required, and that he can't take the bracelet off.
The group and Niragi reluctlantly agree to team up, with Niragi's reasoning not being for their survival but for his own survival.
When the King of Clubs game starts, He and the rest of the group do a good job beating the King's team until Tatta is overwhelmed with all of the King team members ganging up on him at the base. Niragi solely blames Tatta for this.
After coming to the conclusion that he is going to lose which means his life, he might as well 'have fun' with Usagi once again as he sneaks up on her and begins ruthlessly assaulting her and trying to have his way with her. Only this time Arisu eventually comes in to stop it.
When Tatta manages to pull a last minute victory at the cost of his own life, Niragi is there begrudgingly lamenting his grave but surprisingly he thanks him for saving him.
| “ | When I think about how it was you who saved me, it makes me sick. But you know... Since I'm still alive I can't complain. Thanks, man. | „ |
| ~ Niragi lamenting Tatta's grave |
Final Moments in the Borderlands[]
In Episode Seven of the TV Series, we see Niragi walking down the street and seeing a man slowly bleeding out through his throat. When Niragi sees this, the man silently begs him to end his suffering and when it seems like Niragi is, Niragi laughs at his face in enjoyment and leaves him to bleed out highlighting how much hasn't changed about Niragi.
Later on, Niragi encounters Arisu and Chishiya, he's bored and so he challenges Chishiya and Arisu to a duel and while Arisu doesn't really agree to it, Chishiya is open to the idea. But Niragi forces both of their hands as he begins shooting at them.
When Arisu is not playing into his game and bums him out, Usagi walks in at the wrong moment and Niragi points his gun at her and when he shoots, he gets shot by Arisu and Chishiya runs in front of Usagi to take a bullet for her.
As they try to tend to a wounded Chishiya, Niragi speaks:
| “ | Even by mistake, don't you dare ever call me evil. If there were seven billion of me, then you'd be the ones who are evil. | „ |
| ~ Suguru Niragi |
For the rest of the series, Chishiya and Niragi are laying down as bleed out buddies and then an announcement is made, and the players are given a choice to either accept or decline citizenship. Both of them decline.
Return to the Real World[]
When the players have returned to the real world, we see Chishiya and Niragi in hospital beds right next to each other, a very similar visual to how they were seen in the Borderlands. But this time, the two don't seem very hostile towards each other nor do they seem to remember each other.
