Summary
The beauty ofSquid Gamelies in its compelling direction and storytelling, in which 456 unfortunate souls are roped into a twisted killing game where they complete several challenges inspired by classic games. While Seong Gi-hun emerges victorious at the end of the first season, his trauma prevents him from enjoying the results of this hard-fought victory.
Instead, he decides to try and stop the games by participating once again, setting the stage for an intriguing second season. Given howthis chapter ofSquid Gameended on a cliffhanger, it’s easy to see why fans were left with more questions than answers as the second season drew to a close.
8How Did Hwang In-ho Start Running The Games?
It’s Puzzling That He’d Expose Himself To This Traumatic Experience
Season 2 continues the trend of the number 1 player being a plant who knows what’s going on. In-ho, a former winner who now runs the games, wastes no time in ingratiating himself to Gi-hun, forming a tantalizing partnership that fans love.
However, one must ask why In-ho wasn’t traumatized after winning the games in the same way as Gi-hun. The idea that he would run things behind the scenes is chilling. How this came to be is something that Season 3 will hopefully answer.
7How Do The Organizers Recruit Masked Guards?
A Popular Fan Theory Tries To Explain This
After playing a few rounds of ddakji with the Recruiter,desperate people receive an invitationto participate in a horrid killing game that leaves no survivors. The guards are also recruited from the real world; however, no one knows how that happens.
A fan theory suggests that people who choose the red paper in ddakji are chosen as guards, while players who opt for the blue paper instead are taken on as players. It’s an interesting story, but it doesn’t explain how these guards are so competent at firing weapons.
6What Fate Awaits Seong Gi-hun?
It’s Hard To See How This Ends On A Positive Note For Him
Thefinal episode ofSquid Game’s second seasonended on a tantalizing note as Gi-hun’s valiant escape attempt was foiled, leading to numerous casualties. He was abducted by the organizers, with his fate left unexplained for now.
This question is tearing fans apart, who want the final season ofSquid Gameto arrive as soon as possible. It’s unlikely that Gi-hun will bite the dust, but fans are hoping that he isn’t put through the wringer and succeeds in his goal of stopping the games.
5Will Hwang Jun-ho Ever Reunite With His Brother?
The Show Needs This Important Closure
Thefinale of Season 1revealed a tantalizing twist: the person overseeing the games is the brother of a police detective who wants to uncover the twisted nature of these games. While Jun-ho is shot by his lost sibling following this encounter, he is revealed to be alive and mounts another search for Seong Gi-hun and his brother.
Given Captain Park’s treachery, it’s clear that this is going to be anything but a simple task. Hopefully, Jun-ho will be able to overcome these adversities and get the answers he’s been looking for.
4Why Has No One Recorded A Man Playing Ddakji On The Subway?
It’s Not Exactly Subtle
Ddakji is usually a simple game that can be played with any kind of paper. However, the recruiter plays an elaborate version of this game with brightly-colored paper, going so far as to slap players who can’t put up the money they need to match his bet.
This task is bound to cause some commotion, especially if the Recruiter has to do it at least 456 times every time the games are supposed to start. The fact that no one noticed this elaborate game until Gi-hun paid a group of people to locate this man is hard to believe.
3Will The Games Ever Stop?
Gi-hun May Never Achieve His Noble Goal
Gi-hun’s goal is to stop the games and prevent innocent people from being exploited for their desperation. This is the noble goal he strives to achieve when Season 2 begins, but it’s clear that this task is anything but simple.
While he has some help, Gi-hun has faltered already and may not get a second chance. Hopefully, the heroes will rise to the occasion and destroy the foundation ofthese twisted killing gamesfor good.
2What Games Will Be Played In The Final Season?
The Second Season Proved That The Games Will Be Different
Season 2 makes it abundantly clearthat the tasks in each killing game are different. While the first obstacle was similar to the one Gi-hun had experienced, the rest of the games were anything but.
Season 3 is bound to feature more games that will become iconic in their own right. Until they’re revealed, fans can only guess what the game’s players will be subjected to based on South Korea’s most popular children’s games.
1Will Captain Park’s Treachery Be Revealed?
Hopefully, Jun-ho Won’t Succumb To Captain Park’s Betrayal
Captain Park made an excellent first impression by saving Hwang Jun-ho and letting him embark on regular searches to find the island where the games are being played. However, he reveals his true colors soon enough, when a member of the search crew finds out that he is tampering with the drones.
Jun-ho’s precious time will be wasted by Park unless he uncovers the captain’s double-sided nature. Whether he’ll kill the traitor or convince him to see the light is anyone’s guess.
