How does the “squid game” end? Who wins the last match, the fate of player 456 and more, explained

After three seasons, hundreds of deaths, billions of Koreans have delivered, and a apparently infinite roller coaster of twists and turns, “Squid Game” has now abandoned its latest episodes on Netflix.

A series that was not originally designed for a second season, “Squid Game” has become a phenomenon with hundreds of millions of views around the world.

Season 1 presented the public to the Korean series in which a secret show was played on an island remote for the benefit of a few rich, masked VIPs, with a single winner authorized to Bring the price back to home.

The Seasons 2 and 3 returned this winner (Lee Jung-Jae, who played Seong Gi-Hun, Aka Player 456) in the arena, but also plunged into the life of the armed guards adapted to the pink and a Bulldog detective determined to close the whole system.

Now that the last match (or at least we think), who were the winners? Who were the losers? Let’s talk about what we know. But beware – things are dark in this “game”.

Warning: spoilers for the whole “squid game” to come.

Does player 456 die in “Squid Game”? The fate of Seong Gi-Hun, explained

Gi-Hun crossed the spinner in the seasons 2 and 3. He got back into the game in order to overthrow him, believing that his experience could make a rebellion among the players. It turned out in the game – also often in real life – players preferred to vote for their own personal interests, rather than what was best for the collective, a brutal metaphor.

Disillusioned by humanity after several of the games, Gi -Hun checked active participation as much as it could – until the circumstances brought him a baby to protect during the match. The baby received his late mother’s number (Jo Yuri, playing Kim Jun-Hee, Aka Player 222) and made it possible to “participate” in his place.

During the last round of the match, Gi-Hun and the baby reached the last step. They had to face many last players during the last test, which involved pushing the players from the top of several high towers. But on the final tower, Gi-Hun, the baby and player 333 (Yim Si-Wan, playing Lee Myung-Gi, the baby’s father) were the only ones who remained standing. The rules dictated that a person on the tower had to die for the game to end, but that person had to die after a button on the tower was pressed. Gi-Hun and Myung-Gi are fighting-and Myung-Gi fell from the tower.

Unfortunately, the button was not pushed before falling, so the time had not started and death did not count. A death was always necessary to end the match. VIPs in their protected stand expected Gi -Hun to sacrifice the baby – but they clearly didn’t know him well. There is no real winner in Squid Game, the spectacle seemed to say – all this money did not make the life of Gi -Hun much better. So Gi-Hun kissed the baby, put it on the ground and turn to the camera to say: “We are not horses. We are humans. ” Then he fell from the tower and died.

It is a bitter-bitter end, but deep-and answered the question that the man of the front asked Gi-Hun in season 3: “Do you always trust people?”

By not sacrificing an innocent baby, we obtained the final answer from Gi-Hun.

So who wins the “squid game” in season 3?

Player 222, the infant.

What about the detective, Jun-Ho, who investigated the Squid game?

Hwang Jun-ho (played by Wi Ha-joon) was too late to save Gi-Hun, but he was able to send the Korean coastal guard on the island.

Jun-Ho saved the player escaped 246 (Park Gyeong-Seok, played by Lee Jin-Wook), whose daughter was hospitalized with leukemia.

Jun-Ho arrived on the island, looking for his brother (in-ho, alias Front Man, played by Lee Byung-Hun), going to the VIP room-just like the player recovered 222 / The Baby from the top of the final tower.

Jun-Ho planned to shoot his brother, but could not, afraid of harming the baby. Six months after the end of the match, Jun-Ho found the baby and the game price left to him (probably by in-ho).

Doesn’t the height of the rose survive?

Kang No-Eul (Aka Guard 011, played by Park Gyuyoung), had lost his daughter and linked to the child of the player 246 before coming to the island as a goalkeeper.

But when she discovered the organ harvest operation which takes place between the guards and the dead players, she intensified her efforts to help the player 246 escape.

She destroyed all the evidence he had been on the island and was ready to die in the man’s office before when she saw the sacrifice of Gi-Hun. Hearing the baby, she decided not to commit suicide.

Six months later, she presented herself to visit the 246 player in the amusement park where he still works and where she worked in costume. He did not know that she was she who saved her life because she had her pink costume and her mask all the time. She found the daughter of player 246, now healthy.

But there is a twist: No-Eul is a North Korean defector that has been separated from his daughter. She gets news that the child could be alive in China. We see no-EUL for the last time at the airport, ready to get on a plane to possibly visit her daughter.

If it seems familiar, it is similar at the end of season 1, with Gi-Hun about to go see his own daughter in Los Angeles.

Does Gi-Hun live?

Type of. When we met Gi-Hun for the first time in season 1, one of the reasons why he entered the match in the first place was that he could support his daughter. But after winning, he became obsessed with the end of the match.

With Gi-Hun Dead, In-Ho (Front Man) made the Gi-Hun trip: he went to the United States to see the daughter of the late player. He gave a box of gi-hun effects to his daughter-a bloody uniform and a debit card, which probably had the rest of the gi-hun gains on it. Has he changed his own opinion on the value of humanity? It seemed to be preparing to do it.

Will there be more “calmar games”?

Based on the final scenes, we suspect yes.

In the last scene, after In-Ho finished dropping off the gains to Gi-Hun’s daughter, he spotted a woman playing the card introductory game with someone in an alley. And not just anyone – he saw a recruiter, played by Cate Blanchett! They did not talk about each other, even if she hosted her head with recognition and he continued.

Season 1 informed us that Squid Games are played worldwide, and the deadline last October wrote that an English version of the series was under development with director David Fincher. Maybe we just saw the first scene of “Squid Game: USA”?
