Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Squid Game season 2, episodes 1-7.Squid Gameseason 3 won’t premiere on Netflix until later this year, butI already know what the final outing’s best scene will be — and thanks to season 2, I’m so excited for it.Squid Gameseason 2’s endingleaves viewers on a huge cliffhanger ahead of its third season, and there’s a lot of ground to cover in the coming episodes. The tournament isn’t over, so unless thenewSquid Gameplayersvote to discontinue it, they’ll face more deadly challenges. That meansSquid Game’s best new charactersare in danger, setting up a heartbreaking last hurrah.
But whileSquid Gameseason 3is guaranteed to have some truly heart-wrenching moments, the best scene will be more satisfying than anything else after season 2. The Front Man spends the majority of the sophomore seasonposing as Player 001in the new competition. He does this to get closer to Gi-hun, so he can derail his plans and break his resolve. However, when Gi-hun’s uprising fails, In-ho fakes Young-il’s death and resumes his role as the Front Man.This pushes one huge revelation to season 3, and I’m positive it will be the next outing’s best moment.
The Front Man Revealing His Face To Gi-hun Will Be Squid Game Season 3’s Best Moment
Gi-hun Realizing His Betrayal Will Be A Powerful Scene
Gi-hun still doesn’t know that the Front Man and Young-il are the same person whenSquid Gameseason 2 comes to a close, and I’m so excited for the moment he realizes this in season 3. Despite getting off to a shaky start,Gi-hun comes to trust and care about Young-il during his second tournament, just as he grows fond of all his new allies. Gi-hun seems genuinely distraught when he believes that Young-il is dying. And he’s even more devastated by Jung-bae’s demise, which the Front Man is directly responsible for.
Prolonging the inevitable Front Man reveal will make it more satisfying when it finally does happen.
Needless to say,Gi-hun is going to be even angrier with the Front Man whenSquid Gamereturns for season 3. This will make the realization that his friend is the enemy he’s been chasing much more devastating. It will also prove a satisfying moment for fans, as we know that In-ho is deceiving Gi-hun from the moment he appears as Player 001. The tensions continue for all of season 2, but its finale doesn’t deliver on them. Prolonging the inevitable Front Man reveal will make it more satisfying when it finally does happen.
The Real Reason Player 001 Messed Up The Spinning Top In Squid Game Season 2
The Front Man’s true plan in Squid Game season 2 is mysterious, with many wondering why he intentionally failed the Spinning Top - but here’s why.
Gi-hun’s reaction is also certain to be memorable, which meansthis scene will likely feature one of Lee Jung-jae’s best performances inSquid Game.The Front Man actor Lee Byung-hun also showcases his acting range in season 2, so this entire sequence will undoubtedly be every bit as powerful as it needs to be.
Squid Game Season 2 Made Gi-hun And The Front Man’s Rivalry Personal
Gi-hun Has Even More Reason To Hate The Villain Now
While Gi-hun vows to bring the Front Man to justice at theend ofSquid Gameseason 1, the newest episode makes his rivalry with the villain far more personal. For one,the Front Man seems genuinely interested in Gi-hun’s morals and breaking them down. It’s not enough for theSquid Gamevillain to get rid of a player who’s obviously a threat to the tournament. He wants to get inside Gi-hun’s head and prove him wrong, creating a far more intriguing dynamic between the two of them.
While Gi-hun’s rage over the injustice of the tournament is enough to send him back into it, his guilt and grief over his friend’s death will be so much worse.
With the Front Man killing Jung-bae himself,Gi-hun also has a more personal reason for despising him. Gi-hun’s rage over the injustice of the tournament is enough to send him back into it, but his guilt and grief over his friend’s death will be much worse. Learning that someone else he considers a friend has betrayed him will twist the knife deeper, cementing how emotional thisSquid Gameseason 3 reveal will be.
When Will The Front Man Reveal His Face To Gi-hun?
It Probably Won’t Happen Until The End Of Squid Game Season 3
It’s not clear when the Front Man will reveal his face to Gi-hun inSquid Gameseason 3, but it needs to happen at some point during the final outing.It seems unlikely that Gi-hun will discover his true identity early in season 3. In-ho clearly isn’t in a rush for him to find out. That’s why he puts his mask back on before confronting Gi-hun and Jung-bae at the end ofSquid Gameseason 2. It’s not clear if he ever intends to inform Gi-hun of his betrayal, though it would get a rise out of the show’s lead.
Squid Game Season 2’s 10 Best Plot Twists
Squid Game season 2 packs in all kinds of twists throughout its seven episodes, and here are the 10 most shocking ones from the newest episodes.
It would also help In-ho prove his point that humans are untrustworthy and self-interested, pushing Gi-hun further into his despair. For that reason, the Front Man may remove his mask willingly, but probably not until the tournament is further along or over. It’s possible Gi-hun and his allies will get another chance to defeatSquid Game’s villain as well, which could see Gi-hun removing his mask by force. Again, this would be more likely later in the season.
