Summary

Seong Gi-hun (성기훈 Seong Gi-hun, born October 31, 1974), also known as Player 456, is the winner of the 33^rd Squid Game in 2020 who returned as a contestant in the Squid Game in 2024 in an ongoing attempt to end the Squid Games. A former gambling addict, Gi-hun faced crippling debt from loan sharks for many years before participating in and ultimately winning the Squid Game in 2020.

He would continue to search for The Recruiter until he saw him in 2022 but never got a chance to meet him until 2024 where he would challenge him to Russian Roulette which led to his death. Gi-hun soon joined the 2024 games to put the Squid Games at its end.

• Social Influence
  • Reputation, Charisma, & Leadership; Easily gained trust of other players in the games. Helped lead the players in the 2024 Squid Game to limit the death rate and saved 300+ people in the Red Light-Green Light game alone. Managed to befriend a reclusive woman (Kang Sae-byeok) who held a grudge against him. For different games he managed to get others to join his team in Season 1 & 2.

• Minor Fire Manipulation via Gun-Lighter
• Agility (Most games involve moving and jumping around.)
• Somewhat Martial Arts (Managed to stop a fatal knife strike despite having no combat experience. Shown to fight off thugs who have combat experience during Lights Out.)
• Possibly Supernatural Luck (Bad - Won the lottery, albeit lost all of it. Good - Won the 33rd Squid Game out of 455 other participates. Was saved by Ali in the first game he played, he also could have gotten shot when he was pushed over. He happen to sweat on the Dalgona cookie which aloud him to find a way to win (by licking it and weakening the sugar).)
• High Willpower (Despite being traumatized from the games he continued to look for the recruiter for 4 years and put himself back in the game to end it once and for all. Never got therapy to help with his PTSD and seems to be doing better than others would be.)
• Preparation (Trained himself in firearm usage pre season 2. Kept a hidden cellar full of stockpiled ammo and different firearms to take down the Squid Game Organisation.)
  • Limited Status Effect Inducement via Sand Manipulation (Grabbed a handful of sand and blinded Sung-woo with it.)
• Stealth Mastery (Instructed his whole team to hide under the lower beds during the night so as not to be caught and attacked by the pro-game players.)

Limited Resistance to:

• Smoking & Alcohol Effects (They have minimal to no effects on his body.)
• Sound Manipulation (Many players were killed with guns, they are all trapped in a small space so he would likely experience some hearing loss but didn't.)
• Pain Manipulation (During Lights Out and before the games he was beaten many times but could resisted the pain. Held back Sang Woo’s knife even after getting stabbed through the hand.)
• Fear Manipulation (Was braver than most when he faced against The Recruiter in Russian Roulette.)

Attack Potency: Street Level (All players of the Squid Games should be athletic and agile. Overpowered and could have killed Cho Sang-woo who was of similar build. Should be comparable to the guards who have a form of combat training and other players who ripped a metal pole from their beds breaking 2 nails/screws (14.41-96.24 J). If he can break a neck it'd be a min of 303.337 Joules), Higher via Weapons (Stabbed Cho Sang-woo with a knife, Cho later used the same knife to stab his jugular killing himself (1175.73421-2629.93179 J) (Scales from 303.337 Joules). A Heckler & Koch MP5A3 can produce 178-1357 J.)

Destructive Capacity: Street Level (Can fight with other humans), Higher via Knife and Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Physical Strength: Likely Street Level

Striking Strength: Street Level

Travel Speed: Likely Athletic Human (Quite athletic for his age, mostly demonstrated in the Red Light, Green Light game.)

Combat/Reaction/Perception Speed: Athletic Human (Humans punch at 6.7056 m/s and a right or left hook should be 7.7 m/s, and kick is 8 m/s on average. Higher than Travel.), Transonic to Supersonic via Heckler & Koch MP5A3 (320-740 m/s)

Lifting Strength: At least Athletic Human, up to Peak Human+ (Can support his weight. Can overpower people bigger than him. All players are shown comparable to one another, this includes people like Ali who can hold Gi-hun with one hand (148-160 kg), gang members who ripped a metal pole from their bed breaking 2 nails/screws (88.9-193.2 kg), and others who pushed 4 metal bed frames with one being 25-100 kg (100-400 kg). Knocked down a man in one hit. Can no sell a gun's recoil. A player broke someones neck (171.31-248.811 kg) but struggled and had to strangle them to weaken them. Implied he could snap Il-nam's neck but he was bed ridden so it would take less force than a normal person.)

Durability: Street Level (Got beaten up by a bunch of gang members. Got hit multiple times by other players and was beaten with a metal pipe which could break bone if he was hit hard enough. Got hit by the back end of a gun which knocked him down. Survived attacks from Cho sang-woo (roughly 20 hits) and his knife attacks to the leg, hand (271.545 J), and stomach (1182.414 J) which in total is 1453.969 J.)

Stamina: Above Average Human (Can play the games day after day no problem altho the games are no longer than an hour.)

Endurance: Athletic Human, possibly Peak Human (Higher than Stamina. Fought with other players. Could keep going after being hit in the back full force with a metal frame twice. During his fight with Sang-woo he was beaten and stabbed in the stomach but fought like nothing happen and didn't receive medical attention after, he only got a few bandages.)

Range: Standard Melee Range to Standard Melee Range+ physically (Arm is 38.65% of height; 0.696 meters. Leg is 52.15% of height; 0.94 meters), Higher via Knife, At Least Tens of Meters via Firearms

Standard Equipment: Standard Human Weapons

• Optional Equipment: Environment, Heckler & Koch MP5A3, Gun-Lighter, Knife

Intelligence: Above Average in General (Was able to tell the recruiter was trying to deceive him in the Russian Roulette game. He has grown creative reasoning skills throughout the Squid Game in various ways; including combat, craftsmanship, teamwork, independence, and manipulation. Found out how to beat the Dalgona by licking the cookie. Used to make car parts.), Likely Gifted in Planning (Helped people thought out the different games such as Red Light, Green Light by discovering a plot hole that they had to fix in Season 3 by adding two robots. Led a revolt but was unsuccessful in the end, he did manage to kill 25+ guards. Shown to be a quick thinker.)

Weaknesses: Standard Human Limitations. Traumatized from the first Squid Game and the people killed. Low self control in desperate situations. Bad with money, however after he won the 33rd game he has enough for his whole life.
