On December 26, Netflix added the final season of Squid game to its catalogue, taking viewers back to the bloody world.
This season expanded more on the lore behind the games and introduced many new characters.
As viewers have watched the season, many have been discussing the show in-depth as they wait for the third season to begin. These discussions have led to talk of a potential plot hole that has left many observers confused or frustrated.
When entering the games, each unconscious participant is processed, including being searched and dressed in the signature green jumpsuit. The first season showed players having personal items such as jewelry removed during the search.
It was shown that the in-depth research continued into the second season when Yes, you he realized that the tracker placed in his tooth had been removed, although it was later revealed that it had been discovered by a spy.
However, during the first game, “Red Light, Green Light,” the player Thanos opens a large cross to reveal the drugs, which he consumed at different times throughout the games.
Many have expressed confusion over how Thanos could do this, citing how every player is searched before entering.
How did Thanos sneak the drugs into the cross?

While some believed that because they looked like simple personal jewelry, they were allowed, others offered a different, more sinister explanation. One theory is that the organizers were aware of the drugs but allowed them to make the games “more interesting”, which could be evidenced by another character having a knife.
Thanos taking drugs could definitely be considered “cooler” and lethal, seen in him pushing people – resulting in their deaths – during “Red Light, Green Light.”
