In a Netflix-themed battle, the psycho psychic Henry Creel AKA Vecna AKA 001 from Stranger Things and the secret mastermind Oh Il-nam AKA Player 001 from Squid Game raps against each other to see who's the better villain number one.
This rap battle contains examples of:
- Badass Boast: After turning into his monstrous form, Vecna opens his verse with boasts about how Il-nam and his entire organization can't physically match him.Order your patrollers to outgun me
I'll torture your foot soliders without fumbling
Hawkins Lab shoulda told you it malfunctioned
Cause I slaughter opponents when outnumbered - Breaking Old Trends: This is the first battle with long sequences that just have subtitles and no character.
- Captain Obvious Reveal: In-universe, Il-nam finds the twist involving Creel so predictable an old man like him can figure it out.
- Content Warning: A warning about the flashing light throughout the video appears during the opening sequence (footage from the previous episode "Eleven vs. Matilda" with some effects added).
- Matricide: Il-nam brings up how Creel killed his mom and frames his father Victor for it.
- Shout-Out: Creel compares Il-nam's decision to join his own game to Undercover Boss and his cancerous-mastermind schtick to Jigsaw.
