Squid Game: Every Character Ranked From Human Garbage To Definitely Deserves 45 Billion Won

9. Jang Deok-su (Player 101)

One look at the snake tattoo in Jang Deok-su’s neck gives you all the information you need about this thug who truly embodies the worst aspect of the alpha male mentality.

A hardened criminal on the outside, Deok-su amassed enough gambling debt with his mob boss’ money that the games were his only way to escape the retribution he so thoroughly deserves. Wasting no time in using his superior physical strength, Deok-su quickly surrounds himself with sycophants and stalks the games with enough violent threat to inspire devotion and revulsion in equal measure.

Following the instigation of an overnight riot leaving many dead, it’s only when this wannabe kingpin realises he cannot trust even his closest allies that the cracks in his armour begin to show. Whilst others fail the games by meeting their physical or intellectual limits, Deok-su meets his end thanks purely to crossing the wrong person, and we couldn’t be happier to see the back of him.
