Squid Game explained 4
Fifth Game - Glass stepping stones
The fifth game is divided into two stages. First, you have to choose a number and cross the glass bridge in order of number. In summary, as those who chose the fast number die one by one, people who chose the back number could survive by stepping on the tempered glass early number people found out. In fact, picking a high number survives. If you thought about the tug-of-war people played earlier, you would know that it would be advantageous to choose the high number because playing the game later could have enough time to think about.
"The tempered glass is strong enough to withstand the two people".
There were participants who could tell what kind of game it was just by looking at the shapes in the candy game. They also able to survive the tug-of-war with wisdom. As can be seen here, the fifth game was also a game that could have been solved without elimination if it had been set up around those who noticed what kind of game it was in candy picking. If a strong person held a light person and checked the weak glass, the light person could move forward one by one without falling off. This is because tempered glass is okay for two people to go up.
However, even in the fifth game, the participants couldn’t realize anything. Nobody remembered both "Adaptation" in the first game, "Wisdom" in the second game, and "Power of experience" in the third game. If they could have at least 'Trust', a glass engineer would have revealed his abilities early. Disbelief eventually drove the participants to death. In the end, they chose not to trust each other, but they also chose a simple way to step on the participant’s sacrifice.
"If you don’t go forward, you will kill everyone behind you".
The fifth game, which was able to survive simpler than expected, became the most difficult game in this series because there was no trust in each other. Eventually, only three people survived and played the last game.
First of all, 'Seabyek' dies before the sixth game. In the sixth game of the finale of the game. "Seabyek" should have died because "Sang-hoon" and "Ki-hoon," who were changed to rivals, had to face off. In this game, the past game must affect the next game. As if the person who betrayed faith on the glass stepping stone died.
Final Game - Squid Game
The sixth game is the last game and the title of the series. Therefore, the squid game contains some messages from the entire game. When the squid game begins, an introduction to the squid game that he used to play as a child was delivered through Ki-Hun. The squid game, which is divided into attack and defense based on the line, wins when the attacker goes above the squid's head. An attacker has to pass through the squid body with one foot and can use two feet if he passes. In that state, you enter the body under the squid and win when you arrive at your head.
The series consists of six games using games that have been played in Korea as a child, such as the squid game. But why is the title squid game? The answer to this can be found in the characters' clothes. In the <Squid game>, attackers and defenders are divided and the offense must pass through the defense. In this series, the color contrasts strongly with the pink uniforms worn by game hosts, in green training suits worn by participants who play the games. The contrast of this color is similar to the actual squid game, which is divided into attackers and defenders. In other words, to win the squid game, attackers must help each other to distract the defenders and make one person arrive at the squid head. Therefore, participants in green uniforms are not competing with each other, but the same team. On the contrary, people in pink uniforms become defenders, not managers or controllers. In conclusion, the squid game had to quickly notice that the participants were on the same team and win against the host.
The point is if one person can reach the squid head, every attacker will win. Looking back to his childhood, Ki-hoon wins the squid game with the help of friends like Sang-woo, not alone. However, over the years, Ki-Hoon compares his friends' success with his failure. The true victory in the game is cooperation with each other. It was not a victory to kill others and get all the money to survive. Participants did not think of one 'number of cases' in which they all win.
Therefore, the last game was not a confrontation between the attacker participants and the defender host and VIP, but between Sang-woo and Ki-Hoon. However, at the end of the squid game, Ki-Hoon tried to stop the game through a majority rule when he was about to win. From this moment on, participants Ki-Hoon and Sang-Woo were able to become attackers and VIPs were able to become defenders. However, Sang-hoon refuses to do so and chooses death.
The majority rule was originally a tool to prevent unity among participants. Voting doesn't solve anything in the end, and it makes them have a prejudice that keeping playing the game was a better choice than stopping the game. However, Ki-hoon tried to stop the game using a majority vote system. If they agree, Ki-hoon and Sang-woo could become attackers, and the game players and VIPs become defenders. This is because the game host and VIPs want them playing. But at that moment, Sang-woo gave up the game and chose death.
If you don't understand Sang-woo's choice, you can think about Sang-woo's acting in the fourth game. In the fourth game, Sang-woo exchanged his feelings with beads and went to the next game. For him, the prize money is now not just the money to be earned, but the purpose of his life. However, Ki-hoon's goal was to give up the prize money, so even if he gives up the game, Sang-Woo has nowhere to go back. At that moment Sang-woo realized he failed in the fourth game and his death was his consequence. Because of Sang-woo, who chose his own death, the squid game was completed as the host wanted.
Even though Ki Hoon won the game, he didn't use the money he got from the game. He saw strong desires, deaths, and betrayal to receive a big amount of money of 45.6 billion won, but he tried not to use the money as much as possible. Will Ki Hoon be able to trust people after this game? In this unstable mind, the hidden third game begins.
Hidden Game 3 - Falling Homeless
It turns out that the "il-Nam" who thought he was dead was actually the one who hosted all these games. Here, he suggests Ki-hoon to play the last game. On a snowy winter day, they should bet on people whether to save the fallen homeless or just pass by. Despite this unstable mind, Ki Hoon still believed in people. He bet there can be someone who would save the homeless. il-Nam said that Ki-hoon was able to win the <Squid game> because of his game skills and luck. Like the games played on the island, people believed that they would kill each other and betray each other to win. This is exactly the same as the elderly's thoughts and this is reality. The old man who achieved everything could no longer find interest. Therefore, he participated in the same "Squid Game" as he believed in reality.
"Just watching can’t be funnier than playing" - Ilnam
It is true that reality is repeated in games. However, even if il-Nam had a lot of money he couldn’t get compassion and trust from people. Perhaps the elderly participated in this game to get compassion and faith in their lives. However, even if the old man got compassion and faith from Ki-hoon, he died without getting true compassion and faith because it was obtained from the game not in reality.
Ki-hoon won even the last hidden game. In fact, it was obvious that he won even before the last hidden game began. Before getting angry at the old man who created this terrible game, guess what he did first..
"Can you give me some water?"
What action would you have taken in this situation?
