While Walter and Jimmy are the protagonists of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Jesse is the real and final hero of Vince Gilligan's universe.
It's hard to call anyone in the Breaking Bad universe a hero, as almost every character is a criminal, but each project proved that Jesse Pinkman was the real hero. Jesse was introduced in the very first episode of the show and quickly partnered up with his old science teacher, Walter White , and together they made millions.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jesse came a long way given that he was originally meant to be killed off in Breaking Bad season 1. Gilligan revealed that Jesse was simply meant to be Walter's gateway into the criminal underworld and that he was going to be murdered at the end of the first season. However, not only is he one of the few survivors of Breaking Bad, be he is heavily featured in Breaking Bad's extended universe too.
Breaking Bad, El Camino & Better Call Saul All Confirmed Jesse Was The Real Hero Jesse was willing to take down Walter no matter what it took, but after Walter was the reason why Jesse ended up being held captive by neo-Nazis and living in a hole, he still wasn't willing to stoop to Walt's level and murder him. After Walter kills Jack Welker, Jesse simply speeds away in El Camino.
While it's easy to believe El Camino was unnecessary, as it literally ends the exact same way as Breaking Bad with Jesse driving off into the sunset, the movie truly cements him as a hero and gives him the ending that he deserves. Jesse confesses to Brock in a letter about what really happened with his mother, and he no longer has to look over his shoulder. He's also looked up to by Alburquerque's low-ranking criminal network, including junkyard owner Old Joe.
Breaking Bad & Its Spinoffs Were Right To Confirm Jesse As The Final Hero Jesse might have been the self-proclaimed Cap'n Cook, but he didn't deserve two years of suffering. The character proved so many times how good-hearted he is, and he even tried hanging up the apron as early as Breaking Bad season 1, but it was Walter who forced him to continue.
