    The only one he didn't truly overcome was Hector. In the end Hector dragged Gus into a bloody inferno, and that was probably the best moment in Hector's life in years. It must've been Gus's worst moment too, knowing for a split second Hector (and walter) got the last laugh over him.

      Hector was merely a useful tool to Walter, but yes, he did get the final catharsis. But had Gus not shown his hatred to Jesse and by proxy Walt, Hector would have been trapped in a hell for the rest of his days, with no hope of ever defeating Gus.

      It’s even worse because he could’ve just let Hector die when Nacho swapped his pills, but Gus saved him so he could torture him.
      But in the end, Gus hated Hector so much that I really don’t think he would’ve changed that much if he had another chance. Telling a helpless Hector how he killed everyone probably brought him more joy than actually killing the Salamanca’s and Cartel

    I think Gus is just such an interesting character. Almost everyone sees him as an emotionless machine who only cares about business. But deep down he had such incredible vengeance and hatred he effectively tortured hector for 20+ years.

      It was 7 years between Kim leaving Saul and their phone call, so Hector was in the wheelchair probably around the same time since the pill switch happened around 2 years before she left and Gus death probably also around 2 years before Saul called Kim.

      The only plot armor he had was that Lalo didn't just blast him but it's already been established that Lalo needs info on Gus before he can kill him. It's not plot armor as much as it's pure luck. Either of them, could've died right there.

      @yung_wise5861 but ur forgetting it wasn't going to be either one of them and I'm fine with that we knew lalo was going to die, but the way he went out was just total plot armour. Gus killed lalo from a lucky shot in the dark he has never fired a gun, but somehow he magical aims a fatal blow to someone like lalo. Even if lalo had body armour he still would died, the whole scene is riddled with plot armour or LUCK as u call it.

    I think what you're forgetting about Joaquin is that if Jesse had not been present, Gustavo and Mike would have died in Mexico. Joaquin got the drop on Mike with a shot that left him unable to even raise his gun in retaliation while Gustavo was barely conscious from the Zafiro. It was Gustavo's manipulation of Jesse by bringing him in close that inadvertently saved his his life (for another week or two at least).

    I feel like Eladio was almost testing Gus's willingness to disrespect the cartel with his little joke at Hector's expense. Gus could have easily seen that Eladio didn't respect the elder Salamanca as a moment to betray his own feelings. In sociopaths this is called "duper's delight"--kind of like what Gus felt when he was torturing Hector with details of his plot--and Eladio is nothing if not a sociopathic master manipulator, so he would pick up on Gus's tell. But Gus didn't fall for it b/c he's too smart for that. Ultimately the only person who proved to be more dangerous than Gus was Walter White, because his criminal mentality is highly spontaneous and in the moment, abetted by scientific genius. While Gus is a much more linear, poker-playing type of mastermind, who extends his influence everywhere and lays traps everywhere.
