i love how she gained strength from her mother in that last moment, she was able to endure the pain of stepping on broken glass to take her stance. i rewatch that a lot....its a very powerful moment. the power of a mother's love
@@yttikitty That’s interesting. It kinda makes sense that she’s the caterpillar because he’s blue and her outfits are blue, and the cigarette thing too that both of them have.
@@jrmy__ I love spoilers, yes please - I’m hoping you’ll say she’ll survive and I’m not being sarcastic. My friends makes fun of me for reading spoilers before starting a movie or tv series.
I really wish she was played by a trans actress but I doubt there are many trans actress in Japan considering it’s stance on lgbtq. Anyways she slayed the character
@@madeleine7308 right but im glad they made a bold move and made a trans character, we love the representation especially being from a country where the LGBTQIA+ Communitty isn't very much accepted
@@madeleine7308 ridiculous. if the actor can pass for the role, then the best actor wins. it's not like race, where you can just cast a white guy as Obama, or a black guy as Washington, or Matt Damon as a Japanese emperor... that simply doesn't work. But for trans or gay characters, as long as the actor can act the role, then they deserve it.
I wish this series would get more hype, I love Kuina and Asahina Aya. What I’m scared of is the (mostly) western radicals would be quick to point out “mis-representations” in this series. Im already seeing some comments about it. I’m trans (mtf) and I am totally fine for a cis female to play a trans character. She did a fantastic job. Even though I already know about it in Manga, I think it still gave an element of surprise in the live action series.
I had no idea she was trans before watching this show. And I was thinking of trans representation in media randomly then suddenly her backstory comes on and I was shook af. I also cried because I related too it.
Aya Asahina/Kuina Hikari really hits different. She always makes me question my sexuality. She's soooo fine! She and Chishiya Nijiro Murakami are my fave characters in the series! They really hit different!
2:32 I can't forgive myself I skipped this moment while watching show, and noticed it only in tiktok clips... Neverthless, she became my favorite character ❤
I keep seeing comments about "i was attracted to her, then found out she was trans". I've got three things to say about it. First off, look at her. Very feminine and fine as f. Second, from the back stories on the characters I've read, she's post op. So you don't have to worry that you'll need to "learn anything new" if you got with her. Third, just stop already. And appreciate her for the beauty and the badass she is. I'm a straight cis guy, and I've never been with a trans girl. Regardless if I was in Borderland, and I met her, I'd be interested and go for it. And if that makes me bi or something, whatever. (shrugs)
Trans women are women. If you’re attracted to trans women, you’re straight. Being attracted to women is more than just an overwhelming love of inverted junk. Claiming to need to know what’s in someone’s pants to be attracted to them is pretty weird if you think about it. How often in non-Tinder world are you like “I’m sorry, I need you to yank your pants down before our date, I just need to know it’s the size/shape/color I’m attracted to.”
Imagine being so gorgeous and confident you’re able to spend the entire series in a bikini
@Keys andFood 'knocker monster' made me giggle thank u
FRRRR
she's a model in real life so I bet she really have high confidence
And Chishiya's trying not to look at it✋
Ya, most of them wear 1 outfit throughtout the series, maybe washing machine didnt work in that world and most of them too lazy to wash it themselves
i love how she gained strength from her mother in that last moment, she was able to endure the pain of stepping on broken glass to take her stance. i rewatch that a lot....its a very powerful moment. the power of a mother's love
I mean she’s been walking on glass her whole life, with all that’s happened to her in her life
Yes it really made me cry
Even her Dads words never spare final blow
@Zoe (ゾーイ) right
she's strong and cute at the same time
epic transgenda
She huh
CONFUSION OF DA HIGHEST ORDA!!
Im straight and have a gf but Kuina is the kind of trans I'm totally fine to date even if I know she's a trans
japanese girls hits different
The best plot twist she's the caterpillar who turned into a butterfly... The blue caterpillar who loves puffing smoke
OH MY GOD.
I was wondering what character she represented!!! Thank you so much!
OH MY GOSH!! HOW AWESOME!
Yessss also usagi represents the white rabbit and chisiya the cheshire cat
But isn’t her name Kuina aka “Queen”
@@yttikitty That’s interesting. It kinda makes sense that she’s the caterpillar because he’s blue and her outfits are blue, and the cigarette thing too that both of them have.
We can all agree everyone in the beach are fine AF
YESSS
Yes
I would legit feel insecure while they're having fun 😭
@@luxurybrbie3426 same here. Especially with this rule of having to wear a swimsuit...
*Hell yeah they are! But the one that I love the most and am obsessed with is Aguni. He is so freaking handsome and hot!*
The way she winked at Last Boss I laughed so hard cuz he looked so confused 😂
2:32 best scene ever
LOL I came here for that.
fr
Agreed lmao
I found it so funny omg 😭😭
Exactly!!
Not even 10 mins of screen time and she became my favorite character
she actually did have more than 10 mins but i get ur point some scenes in this were cut short
@@hamdahmed3207 they meant that she became their fav in 10 mins
It took likely to her character when she stood her ground with sword guy. I like how she defended arisu
Best character, one of the best actress in the series too. I hope aya asahina gets more roles, she was freaking awesome
Best character, easily my favorite - they better not kill her in the second season or else...
Want a spoiler? lmao
@@jrmy__ yes please 🤪

@@Peanutwhiskers77 i heard from manga readers that she'll survive tho im not sure
@@hoshiuno7530 I hope so 🥺
The boy who portrayed kuina when she was a boy is actually, itagaki rihito AND HES ASORABLE
I KNEW IT!!
No wonder he look familiar.
Yeah, i was "oh, he looks pretty familiar" and i find out that is Rihito. He's a baby
you mean the actor who portrayed the younger version of kuina?she was never a boy
@gaydazai Did u even watch the show? It's literally the reason why she left her home, cause her father felt disgraced.
Im so obsessed with her 😩
@@alagadniruby9909 uhhh don’t be rude, the pronoun is her
@@alagadniruby9909 You do realized she is a she now, LOL. People like you are the reason why it is soo hard to come out.
@@andioop-3433 yeap she’s a real women irl. her name is aya asahina
@@alagadniruby9909 You forgot the S at the start. Np np np
In the story its a he
i am in loop with her wink 🙃 she's so beautiful and her story's so emotional :(
7:49 the way i sobbed so hard when i first saw that scene. Her mother's acceptance but pain because she has been gone for so long.
at first her braids made me love her character but after the fight with last boss i'm now obsessed ✨
Me 2
Best transgender character in any show period, if only I had her confidence 😫💄

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j why you so mad. damn
queen of the whole series ngl
She is my fav female chara on the series...I love her more than usagi...
@@alagadniruby9909 do you even know what transgender is?
@@alagadniruby9909 highly transphobic
i love them both
@//i forgot who i was replying to 😔 she's a female nonetheless, idrk what you're trying to prove? uhmm ig you're stupid
@@kuukiiii shes trans- have u seen her past?
She and chishiya both have only 10 minutes of screen time throughout the entire series
And yet they stole the shirt
Auto correct? I think u meant show, honestly it’s so annoying when auto correct does that
In season 2 Chishiya had around 20 minutes of screen time!
2:31 you're welcome!
Top tier character right there, her personality was the coolest and also definitely the most beautiful one too.
Bro BOTH OF THESE TWO I SIMP FOR THEM CHISHIYA AND KUINA
Bro same
Androgyn beauties
The way shes so confident about her gender identity makes me so happy 🥺🥺 GO GIRLIE GO
She is honestly SO gorgeous!❤
7:08 BEST SCENE EVERRR
best character hands down.
She’s so fine I can’t-
Her braids make her so pretty 😍
Edit: they're dreads :)
*dreads
Ikr her dreads are really nice and I know that alot of people may disagree but I think they look nice on her ....sort of give her an edge
I really love the dreads on Kuina. The colors and how it's put up ❤
they’re dreads
I’ve always thought that they suit her so well
is it just me who is obsessed with her winking? i really love her, shibuki and usagi :D

Shes a Woman y real life. Shes just playing a character..
@@FranJav507 ik, I was talking abt the character
@@FranJav507 trans women are women. and even if the actress isn’t trans herself. the character is still representation.
@@_joooie Not for me son Sorry

best transgenda character
Not in real life tho
@@tashii4977 That's why "character is in the sentence"
Too bad they didnt get an actual trans person
@@rumblefish9 who cares
@@rumblefish9 she still slayed the character
and we love and appreciate her alot !!
This actress fit to be nami i guess if one piece become live action
Haha u were right!
Aya Asahina/Kuina Hikari really hits different. She always makes me question my sexuality. She's soooo fine! She and Chishiya Nijiro Murakami are my fave characters in the series! They really hit different!
I love the plot
The plot:
she is just a good character and deserves more screen time, excited to see her in s2 - also maybe a karube scene pack if your up for suggestions ?!
she was my fav character alongside chishiya and the duo was so cutee
I'm gay for her, the actress of kuina is sooo beautiful omg
she's probably the cutest japanese i have ever seen ❤️
The best pair. Kuina x Chisiya.
i fr rooted for them in s2
I love her.
She's the MVP for me
Toi et Chishiya aviez des rôles très percutants. Bravo! Alice est désormais entré dans notre imaginaire. C’est beaucoup grâce à vous. 🫶🫶🫶🍁🥰
*the best actual representation of a transgender character* ☺️👌🏻
easily best waifu in the series
2:32 I can't forgive myself I skipped this moment while watching show, and noticed it only in tiktok clips... Neverthless, she became my favorite character ❤
she's being hot, cute, and pretty at the same time woah❤️

Don't worry, that makes you perfectly straight. Nothing about transwomen is masculine at all.

@Zoe (ゾーイ) transitioning early is not rare at all lmaoo
she is not even trans in real life burh she is born woman she just play a trans role for the show...
The actress is a women lol. You cannot change genders
Thought she was biting a sharpie throughout the season lol
BYE NOT A SHARPIE 😭😭
Thought it was a hookah tip 😂
I am such a simp for her
You are beautiful
Thank you so much for this😭💕 can you make chishiya and niragi scene pack too please
I LOVE HER!!! My favorite! Her fight scene was AMAZING!
Edit: is that tattoed guy really dead though? I mean we didnt see him really die.
U talking bout last boss? That's what I'm thinking too! I mean he's inside the burning beach but they didn't show his death.
In manga he really did die.
@@wakakabravo7998 and that's why i don't want to spoil myself by reading the manga :
@@wakakabravo7998 huhuhu! But yeah it is okay...
The way she winked at last boss sent me 😭😭😭😭
Short scenes so far from her but one of the best character development ....
im literally so whipped for her oh my god
So exicted about part two ! Those 8 episodes were gold ❤❤
ty for uploading this!
2:30 best part
Hi Alice and borderland fans just the reminder Kuinas actress is actually a girl in real life. She was portrayed by Aya Ashina and she’s pretty. 😍❤️
@gaydazai she’s trans
@gaydazai I know but thanks

For anyone wondering on what she's chewing, it's a PAIPO cigarette.

I LOVE HER
She’s such a mood
shes a badass but she also adorable i love her
Obsessed with this character. My favorite.

I can't pick if Kuina or Mira-san is my Best Girl on this series . I counted Kuina as a Girl after her Surgery 😂
i love you for this
Such a queen
