Spoilers for the tip of “Squid Sport” season 2 lie forward — cease scrolling if you have not completed watching!
If you happen to shut off “Squid Sport” as quickly because the seventh and last episode of season 2 (titled “Buddy or Foe”) began rolling its credit, you missed one thing! So what occurs within the extraordinarily temporary mid-credits sequence? Let’s break it down, though now we have so as to add: it is so mysterious that we’re not completely certain what to make of it simply but.
The scene — which really is so fast — exhibits a number of gamers getting into a room and recognizing that enormous creepy doll, canonically named Younger-hee, seen in each seasons of “Squid Sport” through the lethal spherical of “Crimson Gentle, Inexperienced Gentle” that served as the primary murderous recreation the gamers expertise. However this time, as gamers enter the sector, Younger-hee is not alone. There’s a completely new large doll — resembling slightly boy — that seems to be going through her. Like Younger-hee, this boy doll additionally seems to have sensors in its eyes, and because the digicam pans away from the dolls, a site visitors gentle is proven. Because the digicam lingers on the site visitors gentle, the crimson gentle switches off and prompts a inexperienced one to change on. And that is it! The credit proceed to roll.
This all occurs so quick, and it is borderline not possible to make any definitive statements about Younger-hee, her new good friend, or who the gamers seeing these two dolls even are (they’re solely seen from behind, and the numbers on their jumpsuits do not match any of season 2’s major characters). Can we make any guesses, although?

Younger-hee has change into one of the vital recognizable symbols of “Squid Sport” — together with the guard uniforms and, maybe, Dalgona sweet — since she first popped up within the very first on-screen recreation in season 1. At that time, neither the viewers nor the protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) perceive the stakes when Younger-hee turns her again on the contestants to play the youngsters’s recreation “Crimson Gentle, Inexperienced Gentle,” however these stakes change into obvious very, in a short time as contestants who do not freeze in time are mercilessly gunned down proper there on the sphere.
After Gi-hun wins the video games (in season 1) and embeds himself in them as soon as once more in season 2 (in an effort to destroy them from the within out), he finds himself taking part in “Crimson Gentle, Inexperienced Gentle” yet again — however at the least this time, he is aware of the deal. Due to his expertise within the recreation, he is capable of warn different contestants that even twitching after the sunshine turns crimson is lethal, however not everyone takes him critically; earlier than lengthy, they notice Gi-hun is telling the reality. Whereas he is capable of save some contestants from sure demise — by mentioning that in the event that they disguise behind him, the sensors cannot catch any motion — Younger-hee claims loads of victims throughout “Crimson Gentle, Inexperienced Gentle,” and it appears like she’ll enhance her demise toll within the present’s forthcoming third (and last) season.
The truth that there are actually two dolls implies much more gamers shall be noticed and killed. But it surely’s additionally necessary to notice that we won’t say for certain when this scene takes place. For all we all know, this can be a flashback to a earlier earlier model of the video games. It has been established that the Entrance Man, aka Hwang In-ho (Lee Byung-hun) as soon as performed the video games and gained. May this be a flashback to that point interval, when the “Crimson Gentle, Inexperienced Gentle” recreation took on a distinct kind? Or is that this one thing fully totally different?
