Stolen Accusation of Squid Game

The most popular TV series of recent times, South Korean production Squid Game, is anchored in the heart of social media. Even Squid Game-themed cafes appeared in the 1st week of the series’ debut. You might say, ‘How quickly did they produce the clothes or something?’ but don’t be surprised because the overalls they use are from La Casa De Papel.

The series, which was at the top of the agenda, of course brought speculations with it. According to a claim, the theme and subject of Squid Game was stolen. According to the content of the claim, Squid Game plagiarized from a Japanese-made movie released in 2014.

Squid Game imitated Japanese movie As The Gods Will

In this Japanese-made movie, a group of high school students are forced to play some games where the result of losing is death, just like in the Squid Game, as a result of the death of their teacher. The first game in the movie is Daruma-san ga corona, very similar to Red Light, Green Light from Squid Game.

Of course, there is a similarity in concept, but the high school students in the movie are forced to play the games. The players in the Squid Game, on the other hand, participate in the competition voluntarily. Additionally, while watching a secret organization serving the rich in Squid Game, the gods are behind the games in the movie.
