ALBAWABA - Six characters from Squid Game are doomed for season 3.

Squid Game's final season begins later this year, and some of its most beloved characters aren't doing well. After season 2's dramatic ending, this story will face many challenges and fatalities before ending. The show is vicious; thus, few characters will survive Squid Game, whether Gi-hun overthrows the Front Man or not.

Squid Game Season 3 must avoid several story aspects, yet some seem inevitable. The first season showed that only one character can triumph; therefore, if Squid Game has the players overthrow the guards this time, numerous casualties will result. The last episodes of season 3 will be bloody, and some characters may not survive.

Cho Hyun-ju joined Squid Game in the second season as an unusual ally of Gi-hun's revolution against the games. She is one of the few candidates who quickly realizes how crooked and unfair the games are, and she works with her teammates to survive the tasks and finish the tournament. She rapidly leads Gi-hun's revolt's fiercest fighters against the guards.

Squid Game has a few possible endings, and most don't include Hyun-ju. Gi-hun may overthrow the Front Man or join him, but Hyun-ju is becoming a pawn in the conflict. She's too strong to go down without a struggle, but the program has done an impressive job of eliciting sympathy and compassion for her, which makes me question the creators' intentions.

He was greedy at times, but his death in Squid Game's third season could redeem him. In games with friends or relatives, fans should always worry for their fate, as shown by Sang-woo's death at the end of season 1 and Jung-bae's in season 2. Squid Game's writers may be utilizing Yong-sik's mother's relationship to create a tragic one.

By the end of the second season, Lee Myung-gi had grown into a major character in the Squid Game. Formerly a successful YouTuber, Myung-gi swiftly gained prominence for his cryptocurrency scam, which caused several of the participants' massive debts. He's public enemy number one because he got several of the show's most crucial characters into the games.

Myung-gi's murder of Thanos in the Squid Game season 2 finale made him a main character, and it will have major repercussions in future episodes. He will become an even bigger target for Team O, and his killing might start a war. His past relationship with Jun-hee makes him more likely to sacrifice for his loved ones.

Nam-gyu is Thanos' right-hand guy for most of Squid Game's second season. He's one of the only characters who always supports the enemy, spearheading the fight against Team X and killing other candidates to increase the prize fund. Nam-gyu will likely play a larger part in the following episodes as Team O's new commander and Gi-hun's fiercest opponent after Thanos' death in the previous season.

While the third season may focus more on Gi-hun and the Front Man, this rivalry makes it hard for Squid Game to end without Nam-gyu's death. Nam-gyu may not threaten Gi-hun individually, but Team O's expanding popularity could hinder his revolt. It will be difficult to follow Thanos, but Nam-gyu may surprise viewers with his hostility and bravery.

Dae-ho is Gi-hun's strongest Team X ally; however, the final season of Squid Game remains unknown. His military background makes him a brave soldier with honesty and loyalty, and Jung-bae's death in the last finale may inspire him to die fighting the Front Man. In Squid Game's third season, his fight-loving nature may be his downfall.

Dae-ho is one of show's most likable and caring characters, which may hurt him. In these violent games, selfish players thrive, while unselfish guys like Dae-ho are typically the first victims when the numbers go smaller in the final games. Many viewers are speculating that Dae-ho is not a marine and questioning his history. Given his strong performance thus far, this would enhance the character's chances of survival.

Squid Game's main villain, The Front Man, played a bigger part in the second season. After Gi-hun's attempts to derail the games, In-ho entered secretly to foment discontent and demonstrate to the show's protagonist how unstable and selfish individuals are. As the ultimate villain of the Squid Game, he is likely to die before the show concludes. However, his defeat's terms are unknown.

Gi-hun is expected to kill In-ho and end the games, but other viewers think he'll become the next Front Man after getting so jaded by his fellow players. The show's shocking and sad finale would complement Squid Game's themes of human corruption and the futility of doing "good." In either case, In-ho must die before Gi-hun may take his crown and govern the games as he pleases.
