Gi-Hun's Final Choice: A Hero's Sacrifice in Squid Game

The last episode of Squid Game's final season is packed with intense moments, but the biggest shock comes early when the main character, Gi-Hun, meets his end. After two rounds of the deadly Sky Squid Game, only three players remain: Gi-Hun, Myung-gi, and a baby. The baby is Jun-hee's daughter, left in Gi-Hun's care, even though Myung-gi is the father. Gi-Hun's goal is to protect the child, but Myung-gi wants to win at any cost. He threatens Gi-Hun, demanding the baby so he can leave Gi-Hun to die. Gi-Hun reluctantly hands over the child, but at the last moment, he jumps to fight Myung-gi. A brutal knife fight ensues, ending with both falling off the pillar. Gi-Hun barely hangs on, holding Myung-gi until he falls to his death. But the game isn't over yet. Gi-Hun realizes neither he nor Myung-gi pressed the button to start the final round. This means Myung-gi's death doesn't count, and Gi-Hun must now choose between killing himself or the baby to end the game. After a long pause, Gi-Hun makes his choice. He puts down the baby and falls backward to his death, his final words hinting at the value of human life. Gi-Hun's sacrifice saves the baby, who is declared the winner. In-ho, the Front Man, is moved by Gi-Hun's selflessness and takes the baby to safety. Meanwhile, the authorities are closing in, and the Squid Game facility is hastily packed up. In-ho's brother, Jun-ho, discovers In-ho's involvement and confronts him, but In-ho leaves with the baby. Six months later, we see No-eul back at her old job, reuniting with Gyung-seok and his recovered daughter. No-eul learns her own daughter might be alive and heads to the airport. Kang Cheol is reunited with his mother, and Woo-seok is bailed out by Jun-ho. They wonder about the missing prize money from Gi-Hun's first win. Jun-ho later finds the baby left at his doorstep, along with a bank card loaded with 45. 6 billion won. In the final scene, In-ho travels to Los Angeles to deliver Gi-Hun's belongings to his daughter, Seong Ga-yeong. She accepts the package, which contains Gi-Hun's uniform and a bank card with his winnings. In-ho leaves, spotting two people playing a twisted game of ddakji, hinting that the Squid Game's influence might not be over.
