This paper aimed to analyze character of Arisu Ryohei from Alice in Borderline. A character analysis delved deeply into the characteristics and personality of a certain character and discussed the character's overall function in the narrative. While some authors chose to give their characters complex levels of meaning, others merely used them to advance the plot or deliver a message. The paper used a qualitative method by collecting data from the film and psychoanalysis approach. According to the data gathered, Arisu Ryohei faced a psychological issue that prevented him from developing in a particular way. He kept going back and forth, and it wasn't until the series' conclusion that he ultimately underwent this development
