Hi
Ok

Hell yeah were ready
Which timezone do you live in please tell us
Gi-Hun was trying to be nice, while running for his life, by putting a straw that was on the ground back in someone's drink. This is the perfect reflection on how he is good natured but kind of a fuckup. Great improv.

Rules in mysterious shows: If a character’s death is not shown on screen, they’re not dead.
But Ali’s death was not shown on screen but he’s dead
Ali got cheated...and you know how they feel about cheating...lol
@@gsr6829 ep 7 literally opens with Ali's dead body 🤦♂️
@@gsr6829 you never know lol
@@daniel-jj3yc he's dead dead
I heard a theory the glass of water had something in it, so Il-Nam could time either his death or a fake death at exactly midnight. The clock is way too obvious in that scene and the screen cuts to it a lot, even with the game deadline, so I do believe there was a bit more going on. Also the front man being there isn't just coincidence probably. Something I also think is that Il-Nam was shaping Gi-hun to be following him and the last game with the homeless person was for Il-Nam to see how he did in that. Gi-hun could have gone down to help the homeless person at any time. There was no rule against Gi-hun being the person helping, but he didn't go down. He chose to stay with Il-Nam and bet on a person, like it was a horse, which in my eyes proves that Il-Nam at least in some way succeeded to have Gi-hun be like him and bet on people's lives. In that last game Gi-hun was for a bit the same as Il-Nam even if he doesn't want to admit it.
Yeah I agree with you !
Correct
good one, we have clue from the begining that despite his nice forms, Gi-hun is a real bastard
this is such a great explanation and view. I love it!
He was/is his father.
Just noticed at 5:39 when the gun is pointed at Illnam, the guard doesn't have his finger on the trigger at all, actually he's holding the pistol from underneath the trigger guard
That's interesting! Thanks for pointing that out.
When I first watched this I was crying because the old man died, but you founded out he didn't die
Good eye!
One thinng i learned from this series is that it's better to have an enemy like Deok su than to have a friend like Sang woo.
Sang Woo was good to have on your team, you just have to know not to trust him.
@@denverbritto5606 Exactly. They all would have died during tug of war if not for him. But at his core hes a snake, a powerful weapon when its goals align with yours, but you have to know when to cut off the head or youll get bit.
Well sang woo saved them on tug of war
@@crylok7062 that's true but he was just trying to save his own skin. If they lost he would've died and obviously he wouldn't want that. Just like the candy carving game. He knew what game it was but didn't let on to his team which one it was. Because the more people dead the more money he gets
But...but... Sang Woo went to SNU! Didn't you know?
Just so y'all know, the Frontman knew about the organ selling. He said "I don't care if you sell harvested organs" meaning he probably knew all along. What he may not have realized was that they were helping a player. That's why he killed all the redcoats involved (Including the Square), they gave a player an unfair advantage
He was also mad, because one of them broke the rule and showed his face to a player, but, what's even more interesting, Frontman disobeyed that same rule at the end of a season. He wasn't killed, although he lost his brother he desperately tired to save and I think it's far more worse than getting killed
@@karvistudios maybe its becoz he was not seen by a player but by his brother
@@christanzonio8977 I'm pretty sure he said that braking that one rule and also making players unequal upset him and it's punished by death. But I might be wrong. I'm too lazy to check it now.
@@karvistudios yea but his brother is not player or even a worker
@@karvistudios who cares he broke the rule? he's their boss, none of them dares to kill him. i guess the rules are just for the guards, not for front man himself. (unfair yeah)

Genious how it simultaneously also follows the "more edges = higher position" rule
@@vario6492 Nice. The circle is ambiguous, as in some cultures it has infinite sides, and in others, 0.
I loved the character development showed in Gi-Hun. In the beginning, he steals money from his mother for himself. And in the end, he whispers to his dead mother that he won the money for her. I also liked the detail about him dyeing his hair red to symbolize him redefining himself as an authority figure. It stemmed from him choosing offense in the final game. The color also reflected the suits worn by the guards in the game.
The red hair is also a play on the movie "the matrix". Red pill or blue pill. Literally everyone picked the blue square (blue pill) when playing the game in the train station. This symbolized that they were all sleep and ignorant to the truth of society. When he dyed his hair red it represented (red pill) showing the audience that he is now woke and aware of what's going on.
@@milliondollarman13 good one 👍
Nice analysis.. 👍
Ali's betrayal was the most painful thing to watch ever. He was such a soul that didn't deserve that. Sang woo did him real dirty mannnnn
and if you were him what did you do? you sacrifice yourself in order to safe basically a stranger?
To be honest, I'm GLAD that Ali died. Not because I hate him, but rather makes it hardly distinguishable from other movies and shows, aka "Good guys live, bad guys die" stereotype. If you want to watch those kinds of movies, you can always watch Disney instead.
he was too naiive
I think Ji yeong’s death broke me a little
That's just how world works... Be soft & you get splashed
the squid game guards are ranked by edges, a circle has no edge, so lowest, a triangle has 3 edges so middle, a square has 4 edges, so top, and the front man's mask is edges on edges on edges, so top top.
a circle is actually made of infinite amount of edges
Wow that's a great fact. Thank you for telling.
@@prepthenun infinite is not a number
the front man sure is edgy
@@yuanxinwang8219 its not a number but its made of numbers
Other observations: 1. First and last interactions between Il-Nam and Gi-Hun was of Gi-Hun pouring Il-nam a drink 2. My theory is that Il-Nam is the owner of United Bank for the following reasons: he said he got rich off lending people money; the bank manager called Gi-Hun out of nowhere and asked why he hadn't touched the money, when he didn't give an explanation, that evening he got the note asking him to ultimately catchup with Il-Nam who noted to him when he had caught up with him that Gi-Hun still had not spent the money. It would also allow him to know all the wealthy people who couldn't care less about money anymore and needed more excitement and also all the broke people who were always scrambling/in debt etc.
the horses detail was overlooked because of 456 but its a recurring theme " u bet on horses we bet on humans" and also "listen carefully, Im not a horse"
No one will ever talk on how Sang Woo managed to survive until the last game without his glasses on 😂 I wonder if they provided contact lens for him haha
The sand throw during the squid game would’ve have worked. Try winning a knife fight while hopping around on one leg.
Lol, because of sang woos glasses gone, i was confused that the doctor died but sang woo still there
@@LennoxLewis86 why did you say "have" after "would've"? would've = would have

The most heartbreaking thing about this show : Ali's death
And both The Women who played marbles in the last 3 minutes, also died- their deaths were heartbreaking too. To me, before watching Ep9, Ill Nam's was tragic too
I agree
@@cookyking Yea..But Ali's Death Gave Us A Lesson For All That :Dont Let Your Kindness Turn into your Weakness
So basically marbles game breaks our hearts
Nope the most heartbreaking this video in dub
The bit about the people who didn't choose to return being killed outside doesn't make sense to me because of how much the creators of the game value the players being there of their own free will, and making it as fair as possible.
And the show literally debunks it by frontman saying to keep surveilling them. This writer is an idiot.
So i guess, they just count those as deaths
Maybe those people died by being way too broke, the reason a lot of people played these games was because the outside world was certain death for them, at least with playing the games they had hope of escaping that lifestyle by becoming rich
@@JonBuenrostro No, they didn't participate in the game so they can't be eliminated. Died by being way too broke can't be counted as being eliminated
Yes right, "free will"
When a player died, 100 million won is added into the prize money. When Gi-hun and Sang-woo are the only players left, the prize money is 4.54 billion won. But when Sang-woo died, the prize money is 4.56 billion. Does that mean Sang-woo is worth 200 mil won?
Maybe because Gi Hun also counts, but it's too little of a detail to build theories around as for now
Extra money for surviving xddd
maybe the wager he puts in he gets to keep
The last person wins his money, as well as others money. So since hes the last man standing, he wont the all the games and it shows the full amount.
he go his own 100million too,along with the other's
Picking up the receivers with their non-dominant hand is how they keep their weapon hand free. Think Clint Eastwood in For A Few Dollars More.
*TO TELL THE TRUTH I MAKE GOOD VIDEOS BUT PEOPLE DON'T WATCH 😞😭😭*
It's like the flaw in BBC Sherlock's deduction that a *left-handed man* could not have shot himself because the gun was in his *right* hand. It's a known practice that some people choose to fire handguns with their non-dominant hand to reduce the risk of injury to their dominant hand. In fact, John Watson himself is shown using his handgun with his non-dominant hand.
i just gave the 456th like. this was fun
@@ruslanchik3421 k
Make sense
Il-Nam's apparent death scene was so well done that I actually felt bad for him and shed quite some tears but at the end, when I saw him still alive and that he was behind it all, it all felt freakishly ironic.
Samee
Yall so lucky to experience that, cuz TikTok was spoiling it for me everywhere
SPOILERS DUDE. WTF.
@@rozalyndavis6027 you joking 😂
@@rozalyndavis6027 lesson 1 never check comments of the series while watching the series...
While the first voting everyone who was not sure about their choice (stop the game/keep playing) looked at the money. Only Il-nam watched the voting screen and did not care about the money at all.
This was made me feel like they took "money doesn't buy you happiness" to a whole new level
Here are some subtle things I noticed in SG. - In the beginning there is a shot of Gi-Hun and Sang-woo playing as kids. in that shot Sang-Woo can be seen trying to pull Gi-hun backwards by grabbing onto his shirt and we are shown Gi-Hun's shirt tears apart allowing him to win while Sang-Woo falls backwards. This foreshadows how Sang-Woo tries to pull Gi-Hun back from winning and makes things difficult for him than it already is. But Gi-Hun finally breaks free and wins, which also demises the fall of Sang-woo. - The games itself is like a series with every season happening every year. Jun-Ho said his brother went missing a few weeks ago or something I don't remember. Thats because upto the date of when the preparation for the games should be started, all the people who are the managers and Soldiers and Workers lead their normal life outside. Which is why their anonymity is kept very secret. Because if you find out the Red manager who runs a death game is your neighbor you would report him to police and it would be really hard to cover it up. Hence they are killed if they ever show their face. My other theory is they are killed after every season of game. Which is most likely not to happen but still a theory though. - Gi-Hun and other players who won in previous years are still tracked with the chip or somethin they kept inside him which they used for identifying players. Which is how they were able to know his location when he called them at the end of season 1. - The Loan Shark who gets a paper of organ extraction signed from Gi-Hun works for Il-nam. Il-Nam said he lends money to people. And as soon as Gi-Hun won the money, he never paid of his debt to that Loan Shark. Nor did the Loan Shark demanded Organs from gi-Hun. - The humans playing the game are seen as horses, as said by the front man. but this is also foreshadowed when they play the Glass Bridge game. Every player model that gets flipped off from the Miniature Glass Bridge replica are Knights from chess, which resembles a horse. -This game is played anonymously world wide. When the VIP's arrive, they say games in Korea are more fun to watch.. which means there are other form of games like these happening. I am not sure about this one, but again.. there is a reason why all of these are called theories. Had to type in all of these just so you Squidgame fans won't miss out even the subtle details.
I was also confused about why the money-lenders never came back to Gi-Hun for his kidney but it makes sense if most of the money-lenders worked under Il-nam to try and make people desperate enough to play the Squid Game.
This is an incredible breakdown, thanks a lot! My questions have been answered

The fourteen who didn’t return weren’t killed, they just forfeit their money. By initially entering the games, they each have approximately $100,000 bet on their heads. 100,000,000 Won. By leaving, they abandon their wager. Those who stayed still have theirs. Those who died don’t win theirs, and it adds to the total possible won. Those who didn’t return should add to the total as if they had died as well because they forfeit.
they just propably kept eye on them to not tell anyone about the game or something.
@@adamvaculka3210 just as the protagonist, they wouldn't because no one would believe their crazy story about Playstation buttoms making them play lethal childish games
@@LaOptimista I think that's wrong actually. In the last scene Gi-Hun calls and speaks to the front man. He knows Gi-Hun is getting on a plane, he is being monitored. The likelihood any other forfeiting contestants would be taken seriously or do anything problematic is low but they have the resources to play it safe so why not. I also don't think the front man would kill the people who forfeited as he has a fairly strict principle of fairness for the games and that was a valid way to survive the game
@@casualt2212 While you are right about the whole plane scene, I feel like there would be a differing level of monitoring between those that won and those who forfeited. Being that those who won would have the resources to actually do some damage to the corporation, compared to those who just gave up. (Seeing as those who gave up are all still in crippling debt). So I don't really think that they would be monitored anywhere near as close for that reason. But you're still right they would still be looked over from time to time.
@@LaOptimista what adds to that is that it seems like when dropping the players off, they paired a person who voted to continue with a person who voted to stop. (Gihun/Saebyeok, Ali/Sangwoo). Because of this, anyone who might want to report the games to the police would not be able to find someone else to back them up - making it all the more likely the police would just laugh them off.
I simply don't agree that those 14 quitters were killed...to "keep an eye" on them didn't mean to actually KILL all of them, it would alert the police! (They kept an eye on them in order to later recruite them, if they get desperate again, not being able to solve their life) I'm passionate about this issue because I think they were the REAL winners, winning back their life, so it was a wise choise to quit a deadly game with virtually zero chamce to win anything, lol. Great info about the tug-of-war, I didn't understand why the Old Man took that risk...
I think some of them could have been killed by loan sharks, due to their unpaid debt and had their body parts sold. But that's just my possible theory.
It also seems likely that by opting not to return, their shares of the prize was added into the pot for the other players.
I havent come across convincing evidence they were killed
I think the players were killed . If the game can manage to wipe off 444 people and get away with it , 14 won't be a much difficult task . Also the front man wanted to keep the existence of the organisation a secret . So releasing the 14 who knew all about it and might have spread the word in the world , this could have been a threat to the organisation and the VIP's might have been disappointed with it , ultimately the front man would have been held responsible for all this as he was the leader .
@@shreyasadvirkar6192 Naw, doesn't sit with the mechanics. Gi-Hun can't be the only dude to've ever gone to the cops between the first round and the return round. There's got to be a system in place that is working to keep such reports from rising too high in the system. It's completely plausible that a 2nd season could reveal that the guy Gi-Hun talked to who shrugged him off as a kook at the police station is on the take and reported the incident to the organizers of the games. There's a decent chance that even if that guy isn't on the take, his superiors are. This is a situation like Fight Club or Hostel where the roots of control would run deep and there's no reason to kill someone unless all other options have been exhausted.
Something that many people hadn't noticed: Deok-su has 3 "henchmen" 2 of his henchmen, 303 and 040, team up in marbles. 040 loses the game and is shot, but 303 is never to be seen again. He just disappears
Wait, I realized that most of the bad main characters first and last digits are the same. Check it out, 101, 212, 111, 303, and 040?????
No, I'm pretty sure he pushes one of his henchmen off in the 5th game. (He stops and when the guy tries to push him, Deok-Su pushes him off the ledge after which Mi-Nyeo kills Deok-Su
DETAIL THAT I NOTICED : When Gi-hun is sitting at train station and the guy who recruits all the members, comes to him, Gi-hun says "I don't believe in Jesus" but in the last episode when the games end, when guards throw him on the street, he lands near a guy who was preaching about Jesus. Just a small detail that I noticed :) *Edit : I'm Hindu (Brahmin), everyone who is saying that I noticed this detail because I'm telling y'all to convert then please read this before reading my comment :)*
I think they just had that preacher because the front man said pretend it was a dream and the preacher being there would make him think it was the religious guy so he would conclude the games as a dream but just a theory
Now don't go on about saying "Jesus is our savior, accept jesus as our savior or burn in hell"
@@BlueEyes-WhiteDrag0n bruh,it's your choice to believe in Jesus or not
@@BlueEyes-WhiteDrag0n "burn" like in the coffins
yeah i remember that
for the organ selling side-hustle, the guy in the survaliance room did get caught. When publicly displaying bodies of those involved to the players, you see a manager with a square mask as well.
I was about to comment this. When they hung their bodies I deliberately looked for the square guy between them just to make sure they killed him or not
but it's such a coincidence that there was always this one guy who always erased the record... like there were many guys watching the records but only this one and noone else always sees it? and how did they make sure that THEIR guy is sitting there to erase it right at the moment they need it... that seems so improbable to me...
@@AdelaPondelickova The larger the organization the more difficult oversight becomes, you would be surprised of what people can get away with if the those in charge aren't looking hard enough or assume things are working smoothly. In the Army we are taught complacency is the worst kind of killer. And the front man said he has been looking the other way as long as it didn't interfere with the game. Once he learned of the cheating he corrected the issue. And he was becoming increasingly anxious once he realized the cheating and that their was an intruder, it was subtle but you could see it in the body language. It also seemed like the Squares at the monitors only were responsible for certain cameras, the organization uses compartmentalization to keep most of the workers in the dark. Intelligence agencies use it so not one person could be turned and expose the organization. But that level of compartmentalization coupled with the dark and violent nature of the organization breeds dissent and leads some talking and forming their own sub group. And it was most likely that it was one of the squares that came up with the idea and found the right lower workers to carry it out. I would also hypothesize that the organization abducts orphans and homeless youth involved in crime as their workers. As it would be easy to incentivize and manipulate them into doing such horrible things. Similar to the Death Star having a major flaw that was overlooked and secretly built in. Arrogance and complacency. Which was the down fall of the Jedi as much as it was for the Sith as well.
@@AdelaPondelickova The frontman looks at them from afar when he is in the survaliance room... If the guard is fast enough to delete footage and does it without looking suspicious, I definitely think its possible for the frontman not to notice it... Also most of the time he is at his room rather than the survaliance room. Each guard most likely was looking at a different footage, some of the guards were even monitoring other guards to see everything is legit. Also, don't forget the guards are allowed to talk between themselves when they are outside of their rooms. Or they had it planned even before they arrived to the island (in that case im assuming they were part of the organization for quite a while, not their first time being there). The plan failed when the doctor escaped from the surgery room, up to that point nobody including the frontman had no idea what was going on.
The Front man said before shooting the guard that he doesn't care if they sell the body parts or eat them. He punished those guards mainly because they broke the most important rule of giving equal chances to each player. So, even if he had suspected something he might have ignored it.
Hey Lad, I noticed one thing that when the old man and Gi-Hun were playing the marble game, the old man told Gi-Hun that he forgot to bring gift for his son on his birthday and he promised to bring that next year. Just like what happened to Gi-Hun. So that might have been foreshadowing that the old man knew it all. Hence, he was behind all these :)
Also the masks matter too. The circle guards are less respected and mostly there for guarding or cooking basically doing work. While the triangle ones are a little more respected and they have the authority to move the players from one room to another. The square players are the most respected and mostly manage how the games go and lead the other shape guards. The front man is the main because he doesn’t have a shape but many folds on his mask. The owl or il-nam is the leader because of his exquisite mask.
you idiot are wrong triangle is not more the triangle is the highest of the three guard types. its circle > cube /square > triangle > front man . and i dont think the front man masks shape had any matter it simply was special different and that way different from everyone else anyways xD as well he was completly different dressed superrior anyways.
@@Wolf-fighter circle is workers and lowest, triangle is soldiers and middle, square is chiefs, in the series they mention the rule not to speak to a superior unless you are told to, and the circles can’t talk to a triangle unless told so, just like triangle doesn’t talk to a square unless spoken to first or told so
@@Isaac-ye5ri then why did a square guy had to get a triangle dude to let the 2 (well originally it was 1 ) girl go to the toilet then she even asked the guard on the door to get his superrior (he was a square and if that was on top that would mean his only superrior would have been the front man) he could have let them go himself if he was the highest of the three i guess lol

As far as the guy in the surveillance room having not being caught, that wasn't even a problem for the storyline. Remember, the foreman didn't even care that a black market organ operation was taking place. What he did care about was the equality of each player having been stripped from them, giving favour to one player in particular with inside information. The entire storyline wasn't leading up to a point of the organ trade being caught out, because in the end, the bodies would have still been incinerated to prevent them being found out. It was all about the inequality and cheating. It was about giving power to the antagonist faction going against the protagonists. Had they not given the doctor information about the games that entire sub-plot would have been irrelevant. I actually suspect this information leaking was suspected by the foreman even before they were found out. For this insider in the control room to have been relevant to this extent, he'd have had to have been the one providing insider info. By the lack of action there, we can assume that this person was merely checking cameras and deleting evidence of the organ trade, but didn't have any further role than that, thus was irrelevant to the cheating arc.
Go to episode 6 pause at 2 minutes 18 seconds, is that not him?
this clears up a lot of continuity errors i hear people talking about, like how Il-Nam likely would have died, but this shows they had plans to prevent that
I think the players who didn't return didn't get killed. The front man said to keep an eye on them, not to kill them. They are keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't cause too much trouble, like attempt to group up and go to the press to tell their story, for example. As for the money, they got added to the pool anyway even if the players didn't return, as those players got self eliminated by voting and not by death.
You have 199 likes, its Ali's player number
maybe new players joined
Exactly, the contract doesn't say you have to die to eliminated it just that all of the games kill you when you eliminated
Plus it completely goes against the game’s mantra, as twisted as it is. It’s all about fairness and choice ; killing players who left the game when given the choice to do so doesn’t make any sense.
@40- Saarthak Chahal It’s 100m won per player eliminated, not killed. The players who left eliminated themselves, in the sense of the word that is expected for a game, not literally killed as everyone else who kept going.
The guard in the surveillance room actually was caught, he was the only square among the organ sellers and you can see him hanged with the other sellers in the beginning of episode 6: Gganbu. He’s the second one hanged from the left.

Exactly. First person in third row from the top. I heard this trivia a lot, and it always bothers me that nobody really noticed this.
Also there is so much preparation, order and rule among the guards that this “choosing the red square would make a person a guard” theory is just BS.
@@FieryHammer Yeah.. OH I CHOSE RED! Guess I'm a hardened killer with no remorse now.
That’ll be the side we see next series hopefully and also would love to know how frontman became an ex cop and his journey to where he is now and how the old man evolved to be the master behind it all.
Does that mean that blue symbolizes the players, and red the guards?
They actually caught the manager that erased the surveillance footages and killed him with the doctor and two soldiers (triangle masks). They were hung with the circle guy that the police killed somewhere in the staircases.
True.
There was no scene of police killing a circle guy (worker) in staircases.
There's also the fact that when Ill Nam seemingly got executed in Ep. 6 we only hear the gunshot, not him actually getting shot onscreen, nor is there a sound of his body hitting the floor. Little hint towards him being involved behind the scenes of the game.
what about the detective? he was shot on his shoulder rather than on chest i think he will be alive in season 2

They already warns the viewers about Sang-woo's selfish character in ep2 where he knew exactly what the game was going to be like after he hears something about melting the sugar. He then deliberately split up so that he gets the most easiest shape and let his team choose the difficult ones. He even tried to warn his friend Gi-hun, who chose the umbrella but he hesitated. Afterall, He was the most smartest person in there so I'm sure he must have figured that one out.

1:16 Actually on phones like this having the receiver on the right is the left-handed way. That's because the more complex activity (dialing) is performed with the left hand, while the right hand simply holds the receiver. However, the receiver cord traditionally goes behind the phone, not in front of it, as the Front Man has it. BTW, that phone is a Western Electric Model 2500 from the US (or one of several licensed clones). The receiver has become somewhat discolored, as the phone is likely at least 40 years old.
I love how He refers to the doll as "big-ass creepy doll" lmao.
The phone thing, left vs right hand: They probably each pick up the receiver with their less dominant hand to be able to input the phone number with their dominant hand. Left handed: Right hand phone, left hand typing. Right handed: left hand phone, right hand typing.
Rightly said
Wow , thats so convincing
same thing even when u have to note something you need your dominant hand and hold the phone with non dominant hand
I thought the same thing too. 👍
I dial with my weaker hand.
Its funny how when Il-Nam is first man when Gi-Hun is always last I mean he made it inRed Light, Green Light in the last second, same in Dalgona, he was the last one to join the games and he was last in the glass bridge challenge
One thing I learned in this series is that no matter how kind and humble you are you'll always find something or someone who will break you since they will take advantage of you. That applies to Ali and Sang Woo
3:30 Hey, The Canadian Lad, when people point-out the Foreshowing of the characters deaths, no one mentions or compares Gi Hun because he lives, but his death was foreshadowed too: When he's running from the mobsters that are trying to catch him, he trips and falls into someone, that also happens to be a thief. In comparison, in the Red Light, Green Light game, he trips and falls again over someone, as the timer is ticking down: The little girl (representing these new mobsters with a new money debt) looking for anyone fleeing/himself running away, just like the mobsters were looking for him. Gi Hun only lived because Ali, a soon-to-be-thief, saved him - without Ali grabbing him, he would have died right there by tripping and falling.
Ah that's a good one! Didn't notice that part.
Jun-Ho's "death" was also foreshadowed. He fights with the masked man inside the van and dumps the body off into the water. He would suffer a similar fate by the Front Man shooting him and Jun-ho falling into the water afterwards.
@@tomthebuilder794 I like the inverted commas. At this stage, I think Jun-Ho being dead would be more of a plot twist.
Gi hun could be dead not just in first game but in many. He's just got lucky multiple times. Like in tug of war it was sang woo and Il nam's tricks saved his life. In the marble game he's lucky that he's playing against il nam though he lost the game to the old man but he managed to survive. In bridge game he's about to pick #1 but in the last minute other guy requested to give him and he took #16.
WOAHH I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT
I honestly didn’t think the hairpin was much of an Easter egg considering there’s “squids” and disconnected circles squares and triangles everywhere, plus I saw it
Yes it isn't much of an Easter egg but it was a nice detail which most might have missed. I sure did miss it since I was more focused on the subtitles of the series.
Those 14 players who didn't return made the best decision of their lives.
@The Great Pretender you have other ways of earning money, not just gambling.
5:57 “We don’t see anyone choosing a red tile.” View 9, the one above the bottom left. See the player trying to flip the blue tile with the red tile? They’ve chosen the red tile.
Yes, I was many times also confused. Also by this man. I have rewatch the clip for my self and I have seen different. Players also choose Red.

Everyone is criticising Sang Woo for his betrayal... But when it's a situation like either me or someone else for life... I would obviously choose myself... And not only me everyone would.... So did he... So I don't think he did any wrong as he didn't had any choice though....
Not everyone would. And in the last game he had the choice to end the game saving both of them. Even before the last game. He also didn't have to slice seo byeok's neck, and he could have helped his friends in the honeycomb game.
Well I'd get out of there the moment I get the chance because seeing 255 people getting killed on a children's game scares me
@@genericname3459 well the life out of the game there was more horrible to them... Only that one could understand who had faced it....
Not only did Sang woo do the thing that a lot of other people would be sure to do, The whole show was about desperation for money and life and his character executed both concepts very well. And I can’t even be mad at him for some of the sneaky things he did, because we have to keep in mind that the players only knew each other for the six days they were running. I know if It was me, I wouldn’t sacrifice myself for anyone I met three days ago
@@notevenhere401 He had known Gi-hun since they were kids
There's nothing suggesting the players who didn't return were killed consider Player 001 wasn't killed at the end of Marbles and they added his money if he were killed.
I think the phone/gun hands part was perfectly logical. The director was giving us a hint - not messing up with us. If you're right-handed, it's perfectly logical for you to hold the receiver in your left hand, so you can write down a few notes with your right hand. Idem for left-handed people : it would make sense for them to use their left hand to write, while the right hand is used to hold the receiver.
Exactly
I agree with this... I am amazed that how these small and trivial points were kept in mind and paid equal importance.. Amazing work.. no doubt that this is trending on number 1 ...this deserves..
@@dancingqueenarushi3560 i think that perfection in that part was achieved because the frontman actor really was left-handed and it was more natural for him to put the receiver thingy like that and the cop was right handed... you get the idea
I agree with this. I'm a right hander and I use my left hand to hold the receiver.
This was literally mentioned in one of the last few episodes
Gi-hun non-reaction to his own mother's death is more because, at that point he is just emotionally spent... he should be sad, he should be full of regret, but he just can't give anymore at that point. Spends whole next year living with his guilt and trauma though.

He was just too tired to shout out, it's a legit thing.
Desk phone habits portrayed here are spot-on. People didn't tend to use it with their preferred hand much, if at all, and sometimes only for the first moment before (subconsciously / without even knowing they did it) continuing the conversation with their other hand, freeing up that preferred hand for dialing the phone, taking notes, etc. Repeat this habit over the course of a month or three and watch that handset cord slowly get all messed up over time.

Another incredible detail about the foreshadowed deaths was that if gi hun didn't make friends with ill nam then he wouldve most likely died in the marbles game, a game that involves gambling your marbles
yes
Marbles 😩😏
It's true he lost at gambling more often than he won, but all the people there are in the same boat so it would still be fair odds.
oh my GOD i cannot believe that I never made this connection with gi hun's potential death foreshadowing!!
I think Il nam would have left the game some how as he would have died in the glass bridge game. He had to leave after the 4th game.
Maybe if you picked the red one you'll become the officers
hi verified
Sup
What's up kababayan!
No there are others who picked the red one but still are players
@@danokoji3567 it's probaly the last winners are allowed to be guards since a guard did not even hesitate to take off his mask to get killed and end his misery
In respect of the phone - I'm left-handed but always hold the receiver in my right so that my left is free to take notes if I need to. I'm sure a lot of people do that - hold the receiver in the "wrong" hand so the other hand is free if required.
correction: player 001's file in the 2020 archives is included as the page of the folder probably opened with the cover itself since you can see the page in the frame you showed us. (not trying to hate just clarifying it as it could be percieved as that at first)
I don’t think they killed the others but they probably died when they were unable to pay their debts. Killing them would have undermined the idea of the democratic process they set up in their 3 rule system. And the front man made it clear that here everyone is equal. I think that another side to the game is the data collected about what people are willing to do in desperation. Even the player who did not return watching them and observing their eventual demise would have yielded just as valuable data and would have reinforced to Ilnam that the chance he was giving them as players was better than their real chances out in the wild where they would die for no money and possibly take their family as well as depending on the type of debt the living family member could still be responsible for.
Why are people overthinking it? It is stated that when players are ELIMINATED money are added to the pool. 14 people who didn't return are eliminated, as they are not participants anymore. Frontman's "Keep an eye on them" is just about checking on them so they don't compromise the games, as we can see later, even though they reroute numbers and such, they are still not protected from infiltration. They have already shown that they take a lot of precautions to not be revealed, there is no point in killing players outside of the game and it would be against mindset of the games. Games are cruel, but they are fair. Even if you get fucked by rng or other players, its still all in the rules. Equality, not equity.
@@AJIEKC777 what i don't get is why did they turn off the lights on the bridge game just because the glass factory worker happened to have an advantage? if it's because they want to level the playing field, what about the dalgona and the tug-of-war game?

I believe the players that didn't play weren't killed and told to keep him posted because they know they will be called back again. If you look at episode 5 at 46:27 you have the list of round 6 winners with the last man standing as the winner from 1988 to 2020 so every year they have 456 people. as frontman was the winner of 2015.
most surprising fact was that he rated squid game a 7 and-half...
Also based on his logic it should be 8.5. the square mask guard with the organ harvesting did get caught. He was found hanging with the others.
Actually, if you look closely at 5:56, on the screen at the middle left, you see someone playing with the blue tile on the ground right before the player hits. This means his square was red, and this busts the theory that if you pick red, you become the worker. But still, this is not 100% sure since the square leader guard said "every single person standing in this room is broke blablabla" which could have still included the circle workers behind him, or even him himself.
The one who chose red might have been the doctor who harvested organs for them
You’re right. The left column middle row person.. you can see they threw a red card at the blue card in the ground
Actually the screen above that one shows another person throwing red

@@Bejtonik I haven’t read that yet but cool!
Some people originally thought that the meaning of the 2 cards meant that they became a guard or player but this is false. Another theory was that it was a reference to the popular movie series "the matrix" where when you take the blue pill you stay ignorant but when you choose the red you learn the harsh truth and you are no longer ignorant. this was further given evidence for when gi-hun dyes his hair red after winning symbolizing he is now woke and is no longer ignoring the truth. turns out these are both false as it meant to symbolize a korean folk tale of a ghost taking you into a room and making you choose red or blue, it does not matter what you choose as you die either way lol. we know this cuz the director confirmed it.
lol but the second theory is equally sensible as the first one ngl (even tho I haven't watched matrix).
@@r.shreyas9680 But at least that one makes more sense. Otherwise, the first theory would ultimately contradict the fact that the organization preys on desperate and cash-strapped people and let them compete for money.
Also in the Matrix red symbolizes coming out as transgender and blue symbolizes enjoying the privilege but falsehood of remaining in the closet. Probably not what Squid Game is about
@@marastephens1457 ?????

I can't fathom how you managed to watch the entire series at 0.25x speed, as someone who watches everything(yes Squid Game included) at 1.5x speed lol
One more significant line may be, is from the marbles game, when IL Nam hands over his last marble to Ji hun, he says, "it's yours anyway". Does he mean he has decided Ji Hun would be his successor or ultimate winner?
I think this was a gganbu reference, they share everything
I don’t think that the players that didn’t return were killed off screen. In the start of the voting, the GM mentioned that if they leave the money would be distributed to the families of the deceased and the current survivors would lose their cash prize. So the cash prize could be the same overall as it was forfeited into the pot since they did not return.
It was not forfeited but it depended on how many people died. So if 14 people did not return their money shouldn't be added but it did. So they may have been killed
@@AryAnDadhe64 Did they specify that they had to die? 100 million won for every player that are shared between the remaining players in the end. It shouldn't matter if they quit or were killed, they're out of the game so the money is added to the pot. The part where the money is going to the families of the deceased was only true for the case that the games were to be terminated iirc, in that case all survivors loose the money.
You missed one that gives away Il Nam - During the 4th Episode, he was on the top of the beds during the dorm killing spree. He was taken there to be safe, and only when he shouted, the manager decided to end the game.
Wait why was he playing if he was a VIP? Also I heard their were white VIP actors watching the games for fun, the f who watches people dying for fun? Why was he taken there, also why did he shout? The manager ended the game how wasn't he also supposed to play Il-nam because it was supposed to be a fair chance to every player right? Also, did they ever get caught did the police catch on to anything?
@@maryammoeen2452 He was already dying thus wanted to play. Considering the VIPs there are many other games in their areas. He was taken to the top of bunk bed to be kept safe from everybody else, how I don't know. Manager ended the game when he shouted as they will kill everyone.
@@SwagatPatasahani Oh okay thanks still kind of confused but maybe if I think about I'll get it!
I don’t have any way to prove this theory but I like to think he was up there counting how many players had died. You’d need an even number of players for tug of war. His shouting was giving the signal to the guards that they had the right number of players
@@Kwaj the lights did flash
8:52 saying they were killed would probably be a stretch. Not only would they have zero reason to do that but they would be far more likely to get caught doing it. It’s more so that they technically forfeited by exiting the game. So by virtue of them losing the prize money remained the same.
If you saw the players running back to escape part you'd probably notice the door with the square circle and triangle
I think nearly everyone liked Ali more than the MC.

The Square Guard did actually get caught, you can see him hanging before the marbles game.
The phone handle is mentioned in one of the last episodes. That's how the Front Man realised something was up

I realized when I was watching Squid Game, there were 3 player 321's. The first was shown shown in the crowd of people when the guards were announcing how they could win money. The first one was a girl that looked about 25-30 and doesn't wear anything unusual. The second one was shown when the players were playing Red Light Green Light. The second player was an old man, a bit younger than Il-Nam, and a bit shorter too. The last one was shown when the Front Man was stepping on the floor thingy where it showed the players. Player 321 was shown to be a young male, kind of looking like 369.

One thing i noticed, when the vote for opting out of the game took place ill-naam was sent at last such that he becomes the decider and such that he could forfeit the games though he was very interested in the first game and wanted to play ahead ! It was pre decided
10:00, the guy in the surveillance did get caught because at the start of episode 6 they showed player 111 (the doctor) hung alongside the staff that was behind the organ harvesting operation two triangles, a circle and a square. And a square was the one who was wiping security feeds which means that the front must have killed him off screen
Cracking me up to see people typing the characters names. If i was in the game and one of the games were to match a character name to the face, i'd surely be dead.
No cap
For me they are: the protagonist, the one who went to the university, the old man, the girl, the other girl, the crazy woman, the thug and Ali
What's heartbreaking about Gi Hun and his mother's death is that, it's the most genuine time where Gi Hun was deeply in denial. He's always been overly optimistic of thing to the point he is in denial of what the reality is.
