* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The Borderland by its logic can't exist in the real world with its KillSat and the bounds of seemingly-replenishing and shifting resources, but all physics and injuries are absolutely realistic and no one can tell if it's reality or some sort of dream. [[spoiler:Even when the ending implies it all to be a NearDeathExperience of a comatose DyingDream, elements of the character's memories and their meetings with each other remain in their minds, which is an integral plot point in a sequel story that its respective protagonist has to use to stop a bomb from going off. A separate short-story after this series of Arisu ending up in the Borderlands ''again'' also restores his memories of it and removes them upon leaving it, implying the Borderland to be some sort of recurring "second chance" zone for fatally-wounded that isn't shy to draw in repeat players, even if for far shorter game sessions overall.]]

* YourDaysAreNumbered: After completing your first game in the Borderland, a surviving contestant receives a Visa card that tells them they have however many days they won from the respective game. Then as Arisu and co find out when they stumble across a player who was desperately looking for a game to fill their time, running out gets you murdered via laser beam from above by what seems to be a KillSat. Winning games is a necessity to survive, because every player's days are ''literally'' numbered.

** Q♥ ''Croquet'': The rules are so vague that [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim it's within the rules of the game to just kill her]], but there is no rule saying you win if you do that. In truth, Arisu would have lost the game if he took revenge then and there, because the only way to win was by 'playing a full match of Croquet with the Queen'; if she died, then she couldn't win - but she also couldn't lose, which meant that the meta-game (win or lose, just play the game) would be unbeatable. Even worse, the game would go on indefinitely and all Borderlands players would be unable to clear the final Face game.

* FairPlayVillain: The games [[spoiler:designed by survivors from the previous set of games in the Borderlands]] run the gamut of fair vs unfair. Some of them are completely straight forward in what is expected of the player, such as the game on the train with deadly gas. Others are "fair" but deliberately misleading (such as the "marathon" game in the tunnel with the bus, the way its set up makes the players think they need to reach the end of the tunnel before time runs out, but in reality they just have to bunker up in the bus that's right at the start). Others are downright sadistic and unfair (such as the "game" at the baseball stadium in which a geyser explodes right next to most of the players without warning, the only survivor just happened to be in a far away bathroom; her game at that point was to escape the stadium alive).
