So if I had spear shaped toothpicks, I could harpoon my own "Mini-squid"? LOL

The squid's muscles still retain Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of energy for muscle contractions. Therefore, when the sodium in soy sauce is absorbed into the creature's body, it triggers muscle spasms that appear to make the cephalopod dance

Blatantly false. You can plainly see that the sause only splashes on one or two arms, meaning if your explanation was correct, only those muscles would contract. You can plainly see that all of them are moving, meaning the sodium theory is out.

That squid is getting eaten alive. I'm no PETA vegan activist, but at the very least, fucking kill your food humanely before eating it.

I think you are all missing the point

Which is that even if it were dead, I still wouldnt consider it food.

It's called Odori Don and it is technically dead. It's brain has been removed.
If you burn your finger, do you instinctively move just that finger away from the heat? No you move the whole hand.

"If you burn your finger, do you instinctively move just that finger away from the heat? No you move the whole hand."

If it is dead, then stimulating a single muscle will only move that muscle. The ability to react (as opposed to an individual twitch) implies life.

it's alive. i've seen it with my own eyes, they like to eat them raw

It is dead. The sodium in the sauce will cause a chain reaction of the nerve endings, shooting signals throughout the body to twitch. The whole body moves. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/12/dancing-squid-dead-cuttlefish-soy-sauce_n_2663377.html
