Alice in Borderland Behind-the-Scenes Heartfelt Moment: ‘Arisu’ Kento Yamazaki Becomes a Real-Life “Dad” to Co-Star Tao Tsuchiya’s Baby on Set 

Filming for Alice in Borderland Season 3 has brought more than just thrilling survival games — it’s also given fans a glimpse of a touching off-screen bond between its stars.

Actress Tao Tsuchiya, who plays the fearless Usagi, returned to the set just four months after giving birth. The production team made special arrangements so she could bring her newborn daughter to the filming location, ensuring she could balance both motherhood and her demanding role.

But the most heartwarming part? Her on-screen partner Kento Yamazaki — who plays Arisu — reportedly stepped in to help care for the baby between takes. According to crew members, Yamazaki often helped Tsuchiya by holding and comforting the child, showing a level of gentleness and support that melted everyone’s hearts on set.

The two actors share a long friendship that goes back to their first collaboration in Orange (2015), and over the years, they’ve built a bond based on mutual respect and trust. On the set of Alice in Borderland 3, that connection deepened — not just as co-stars playing lovers in a brutal dystopia, but as friends helping each other navigate one of life’s most beautiful and challenging chapters.

Fans are now calling Yamazaki “the sweetest Arisu,” praising him for his kindness and humility. One crew member even described the atmosphere as “a real-life family moment in the middle of a chaotic, high-stakes series.”

Behind all the adrenaline-fueled action and deadly games, Alice in Borderland Season 3 hides a tender reality — one where Arisu didn’t just protect Usagi on screen, but also stood by her side off-screen, proving that true partnership extends far beyond the camera.
