Squid Game: Every Major Death Foreshadowed

6. Ali Abdul (Player 199) - His Stealing Is Repaid 

Having watched Squid Game, you probably can't look at marbles the same way anymore. These once innocent children's toys are now incredibly emotionally triggering, having played a major role in the deaths of several key characters, beginning with Ali.

Portrayed by actor Anupam Tripathi, Ali was an illegal immigrant worker from Pakistan. When the players of the Squid Game temporarily voted to stop the game, Ali went to see his employer who refused to pay him the six months of wages Ali was owed. Ali proceeded to steal a large envelope of money as he pushed his boss into some machinery - crushing his boss' hand in the process.

Flash forward to round four of the now-resumed Squid Game and Ali was partnered with Sang-woo. The duo guessed if one another were holding an even or odd number of marbles. Ali guessed his way to victory leaving Sang-woo's life in the balance.

Desperate to survive, Sang-woo came up with a deceiving plan. This involved creating a bag for Ali to hang around his neck and keep the marbles in for safe keeping. However, Sang-woo kept the marbles for himself and handed Ali a bag of pebbles. Unfortunately, this sealed pure-hearted Ali's fate and he was subsequently shot.

So where does the foreshadowing come in? Well, just like Ali stole the money from his employer (albeit if it was rightfully his), so too did Sang-woo steal the marbles from Ali. They do say what goes around comes around after all.
