BrBa Spoilers
If you arenât caught up with at least the first four seasons of BrBa, donât read this because itâs all spoilers. So yes, I am convinced that Gustavo Fring has, or at least had, magical powers. He is the grim reaper, and Walt is the Antichrist. Note that I do not think either character is conscious of these roles, but Gus is very conscious of his telepathy. He simply doesnât understand where it comes from. This is a complicated theory that I only managed to come up with after watching all four seasons four to five times. Because of this, it has become a pretty long post, but I really hope you give it a chance and read to the end. I can explain most of the telepathy part with stills from the final two episodes of season four. The rest will have to do with a good long explanation. I know that some people will come into this thread expecting to slam me on account of how realistic BrBa is, so Iâd like to start by mentioning that Vince Gilligan has stated that the BrBa universe works on a Christian karma system with God being a major (if unseen) character. Thus, magic being part of the show shouldnât come as a shock.
Before I discuss season four (and bear with me for a while here), we all remember the Fly episode from season three. How Walt desperately tried to kill a fly that was zooming around the lab, and at parts seemingly toying with him. The fly can easily be viewed as a metaphor for Gus for a multitude of reasons, but even more specifically I believe that this fly is Gus. Remember the very last scene in the episode â Walt is lying in bed after he and Jesse successfully killed the fly in the lab. But while heâs staring up at the ceiling, he sees the fly reappear on the red light of his smoke detector, and then watches it fly down right in front of him, toying with him as the other fly did in the lab.
It is my belief that Gus is constantly watching over Walt in this âfly on the wallâ form, since he cannot blatantly put cameras in Waltâs house. I also understand that at this instance in my post, nobody in their right mind would believe me. I feel that this will change within the next five paragraphs.
Iâm sure you all will remember the final scene of S04E12 End Times (remember that title), when Walt is waiting for Gus to walk to his car so that he can blow the chicken man to smithereens. Yet, seemingly out of the blue, Gus stands around for a bit before walking away from the scene entirely. When Gus stops to look around, some of you may remember the bird that flies past Walt. Walt says frantically, âWhy did you stop?â while watching the bird through his binoculars. After Gus walks away, the episode ends.
The next episode starts with Walt undoing the bomb under Gusâs car and then going straight to the hospital to speak with Jesse about what just took place. Confused and frustrated, Walt asks Jesse, âWhat, does he have some kind of sixth sense?!â Right as he is saying that line (and I seriously doubt that anyone else in the world noticed this) a bird flies right over his and Jesseâs heads out the window. Keep in mind that bird is flying upwards at a NE angle (in terms of frame), so it comes into view as Walt starts his line, and goes out of view as Walt ends his line.
However, these are not the only two times we see a bird within these two final episodes of season four. A few of you may have also caught the bird flying around Gomez as he talks his way into snooping around the laundry for what he calls heroin. If Gus has telepathy with animals, he would definitely want to use the ability to check out Gomez. And yes, the first time the bird is seen flying behind him, Gomez is caught saying, âThis chefâs daddy is a United States senator.â We know he is busy making up a story on the fly in order to trick the manager, but what he is saying very much mirrors Gus. Walt being the âchefâ or meth cook and Gus being the âdaddyâ or boss. Weâre aware of Gus possibly having some high position in Chile because of what Don Eladio hinted at the first time they met, but I believe he also serves a high position under God, that being the position of grim reaper.
Now you may believe me or you may be thinking that all of this is impossible in the realistic world of BrBa. But remember that the 12th episode of season four is called End Times, and in Christian faith some believe End Times refers to when the Antichrist will take over the role of grim reaper and all will die at his new-found power. For those of you who have been caught up with the first three episodes of season five, you know that Walt has now taken over Gusâs role of kingpin after successfully killing him. Walt is now also trying to mirror Gusâs behaviors and is very eery in his new ways of doing so. If Gus was the grim reaper and Walt killed him, Walt must be the Antichrist.
To quote theopedia, âThe most common interpretations continue to be that the Antichrist will be some sort of high-ranking leader, who will initially do very good, popular things, which will win him many followers. In the end, however he is supposed to get increasingly totalitarian and elicit more and more sacrifices from his followers until eventually his evil ways become known, and the era of âtrials and tribulationsâ begins.â
Sounds a lot like Walt, doesnât it? If this has been at all confusing, feel free to ask questions. Iâm not at all a wiz on Christian faith, as I was not raised Christian, so also feel free to share your own findings. Here are all three of the bird images in order of appearance.
edit: Also keep in mind that Vince Gilligan described the phrase âBreaking Badâ as meaning âraising hell.â Also, Waltâs full name is Walter H. White.
edit:: From theopedia, âThe Seventh Seal uses the spectre of death to refer obliquely to the prophesies of the End Times and the role of the Antichrist as the Grim Reaper.â Iâm not saying anything about The Seventh Seal (film), Iâm simply showing that the connection between the Antichrist and the grim reaper has been around before Breaking Bad, and is not just something I made up. Walt has now taken over Gusâs role of kingpin after killing him. And thatâs where all of this fits in.
