Squid Game inspires Japanese porn parody Squirt Game

Squid Game has inspired a brilliant Japanese porn parody, Squirt Game.

From the player and guard costumes to the publicity materials, there’s no mistaking the source material for this release from adult video production company Das, here reinvented as Dasflix.

The female “contestants” in Squirt Game (code DASS00534) are played by Waka Misono, Mizuki Yayoi, Machi Ikuno, and Mitsuki Igarashi. Needless to say, the challenges the contestants face are far more intimate than in the original Netflix series.

Squid Game (known in Japan as Ika Game, using the Japanese word for “squid”) is violent, but Squirt Game swaps out the blood for bodily fluids of a very different kind, as the preview images amply demonstrate. The masked guards watch silently as Waka Misono, Mizuki Yayoi, Machi Ikuno, and Mitsuki Igarashi have sex with their male counterparts to complete the game.

The AV came out locally on streaming on December 20, 2024, perfectly timed to precede the release of the highly anticipated second season of the hit Korean drama.

It’s not the first time the Squid Game has been parodied in porn. After the first season, a Taiwanese porn version appeared and became a viral sensation.

As regular readers will know, the Japanese adult video industry frequently makes parodies of famous intellectual properties or topical events.

These are sometimes little more than gimmicky excuses to make a quick buck, but often have high production values and inventive approaches (with fans even regarding them as improvements on TV drama adaptations).

Past examples include the horror movie series Ring, the manga and anime Demon Slayer, Joker, and manga and anime franchise Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

Parody does not enjoy the same level of legal protection in Japan as it does elsewhere, but these lampoons generally do not run into copyright issues. However, they are not immune to controversy and backlash. A porn parodying DJ Soda’s notorious groping incident was ultimately pulled from release, and an AV spoofing a feminist support group that has been the target of incels was also controversial.
