This player might be the biggest threat yet in Squid Game final Season

Squid Game is still on track and is continuing to surprise fans not just with its brutal twists and inhumane games, but also with the characters that come off from its deadly games.

While Gi-Hun has carried the emotional weight of the show since season 1, Squid Game Season 2 introduces a character whose presence is more than spiritual posturing within the game arena.

Player 044. Seon-nyeo could very well be the biggest threat in Squid Game’s final season. Let’s find out how.

Seon-nyeo’s erratic faith might just destabilize everything in Squid Game

Even though Squid Game has always been a show that centres around human morality when found under pressure, Player 044 brings forth a layer of spiritualism, or rather unsettling mysticism, to the games.

Seon-Nyeo enters season 2 projecting calm but a sense of unnerving confidence. As a self-proclaimed Shaman, her very first words that she utters to Gi-Hun are;

“You have souls hovering over your head who are lingering in this world. Those vengeful souls brought you…”

Chilling and…weird, right? Her cryptic nature isn’t just being put up for show – it actually begins to influence the other players around her in an increasingly dangerous manner.

Throughout Season 2, Seon-Nyeo’s behaviour is seen to be quite unpredictable. In the Pentathlon games, when her teammates (including Gi-Hun) are all relying on her to be calm and cohesive, she begins to frantically panic, only to declare that the Gods have all turned a blind eye towards them all.

Her tenacity to spiritualize every single scene she’s in – crediting some sort of divine intervention when she’s succeeded in something and putting on curses when she fails – makes her character out to be the most volatile out of the lot.

She becomes a character who is feared and resented at the same time all throughout the games. A perfect example of this would be especially when she claims;

“You are all alive because of me…”

In playing games that mean you apply the most amount of logic and grit, Seon-Nyeo’s wrapped-up perspective on the games, life, and the other players might just become more than just Shaman-like noises – it might as well also turn deadly in Season 3.

Season 2 may be shaping its end around a prophet—or a destroyer

By the end of Squid Game Season 2, Seon-Nyeo isn’t just a character who is seen to have strange and different beliefs than the rest of the players – she’s gained a whole lot of influence around them for the way that she is.

Players begin to swim around her, and at one point in time, she is also able to sway away a vote, something that eventually triggers a fight concluding with major deaths on both sides.

Her presence in the games perhaps hints at something much deeper beyond the surface level. In episode 3 of Squid Game Season 2, when she talks to Gi-Hun about his karma, he simply does not pay any heed. But, in episode 6, when she joins Gi-Hun’s team, she understands player 222 is pregnant without them even uttering a single word to each other about it.

She glances at player 222 and at Gi-Hun, and she tells him how he’s outlived his time. Her then, once again glancing back at player 222, hints that she’s perhaps the reason.

Gi-Hun’s survival may serve a higher purpose – protecting player 222 and her child. If player 044 is right, his return to the games isn’t just to unmask the front man and close down the lethal games. It’s for the purpose of sacrifice – a fate Gi-Hun is never meant to escape from.

Whether player 044’s divine and religious power is real or just a sham, it’s clear that Squid Game is shifting its narrative to a much more dangerous arena in Season 3.

With the games dividing players, Seon-Nyeo’s influence as a shaman feels less like chaos and more like an intended design.

Squid Game has always been a show about survival, but with Seon-Nyeo coming into the picture, Season 3 might just redefine what the term ‘to survive’ even means.

Whether she’s a proper shaman and a prophet or simply poisoning the minds of the others, he unpredictable faith and ever-growing following in the games mark her out to be one of the most, if not the most, dangerous players yet.

If Gi-Hun is here fighting to bring about change in the system, Seon-Nyeo might just be the chaos pulling the games back into motion.
