5 burning questions in Squid Season 3 that need to be answered

Spoilers for “Squid Game Season 2” follow.

Season 2 of “Squid Game” has arrived, and while the games aren’t over yet (the season ends with a cliffhanger), the biggest loser so far is Ji-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who after trying to lead an uprising is blind to Hwang In-ho, a.k.a. The front man (Lee Byung Hun) stabs him in the back. So what now? Where does this leave our hero and the future of the Squid Game organization? Well, fortunately, we won’t have to wait long to find out.

Netflix has confirmed that it will re-enter Squid Game in 2025, with the show ending with the third and final seasonhe concluded The most popular series on the streaming service ever. But as we wait for Season 3 to arrive, audiences are currently stuck with a host of questions about what the future holds for this world filled with deadly children’s toys, organ-snatching scams, and a boat that feels lost at sea. We’ve got a few surprising questions that we desperately need answered when Season 3 kicks off again, and we’ll break down some of them below.

Gi-hun’s plan may have failed, but the rebellion led to an abrupt end to the games (at least for the time being) due to some of the remaining players being killed in the final showdown. You’d hope all these deaths wouldn’t be in vain, but it looks like gaming won’t be on pause for very long, as we see a quick tease of a new game in the post-credits scene. With Gi-hun’s location unknown, the trailer gives us a glimpse at another “Red Light, Green Light” game and that unmistakable giant robot girl. The difference here is that she’s not alone: ​​next to her is a robot boy, who seems to double the risks for any unwitting player who moves a muscle at the wrong time. There is also a literal traffic light displayed to show players when they have a red light or green light.

Because of this change, it’s not a matter of where this new series of games will take place, but when. The obvious assumption is that the games continued even after the failure of Gi-hun’s plot, but there is also the possibility that we could see a return to a previous series of games. Could this be a setting that predates the current version of “Red Light, Green Light” that we know, or have the front man and his crew redoubled their efforts to commit massacres and murder in the first round? We’ll have to wait until they make their move next year to find out.

As much as we were obsessed with Season 2 this year, one area that definitely needed some work was Cop Jun-ho’s stint at a heated family reunion with his brother Front Man while trying to find the island. While Ji Hoon introduces himself again, the police officer who failed to successfully blow the whistle on the conspiracy goes to sea to find him, leading to the most boring area of ​​the show. With that in mind, is there a possibility that the winds will pick up and Joon-ho will actually find what he’s looking for and discover Captain Park’s sabotage attempts in the process?

We hope so, because this weak supporting character has been treading water for most of the season. When he seemed to find something in the form of a hatch similar to the “lost” blown one, he fled to that island, believing it to be a decoy… for mysterious reasons. We can only hope that when we return in Season 3, Joon-ho will finally land, or at least see his coveted spot on the horizon and can lend a helping hand to Ji-hoon, whose hope of opening the Games has just become wide open. Harder.

When Ji Hoon dared to return to the matches, he was setting himself up for the almost impossible task of being the only player who could finally unravel this hellish tournament. He probably would have gotten away with it too, had it not been for front man/In-Ho’s intervention. The battle ends with In-ho victorious and even killing Jung-bae, Gi-hun’s best friend. So what now? What kind of situation will we find Ji Hoon in when Season 3 arrives, and what can he do to finish what he set out to do? More importantly, why did the front man keep him alive in the first place?

One possible option is that Gi-hun’s enemy has plans rooted in the games and perhaps puts him in the unimaginable situation that Front Man found himself in years ago. Since In-ho has taken over from Oh Il-nam after his death, is the new coach looking for a protégé to work with, seeing potential in the only other player to have survived two matches (so far)? It would definitely be a twist ending if that happened, but we feel like Ji Hoon is standing firm against everything that happens and won’t be willing to play nice.

Given how things turned out at the end of Season 2, it certainly seems like the contestant getting possession of the ball is not a common occurrence in Squid Game history. But the mutiny is easily quelled by the time the season ends, raising the question: How will the surviving players get back into action? Will everyone simply return to the way things were before the armed uprising began? And again, the fact that so many resistance fighters have been killed certainly means that players who continue to vote Remain and play more games have an advantage: a large portion of Leave voters are now dead.

The front man may have regained the upper hand for now, but how will he handle the united front of both Ji-hoon (if and when he breaks free from captivity) and the brother he believes killed him last season? In the last big chance of Season 3, “Squid Game” really needs to pull something special out of the bag, but that raises another question: Will Ji Hoon live to see how things really end?

For a character who started out as a selfish and struggling father, Ji Hoon has definitely transformed himself. He just had to see copious amounts of death and play terrifying games to do so. However, he has become the hero that we all look up to, hoping that he will truly commit to the mysterious masters of the game. But the biggest worry is how much will it cost Ji Hoon to win? Is there a possibility that after three games and countless dances with death, the Squid Game will kill off its former champion when this is all over?

Every epic story needs a hero to make his last stand against any threat he faces, whether he survives or not. In Ji Hoon’s case, there is undoubtedly something poetic about the man who started the games himself and then put his life on the line for others. Then again, the show could take a very dark and shocking turn and put Gi-hun in the last position we expect: running games in the future, just like previous winner Front Man. according to “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, there’s a reason it all ended with season 3 Hopefully we’ll get some answers soon.
