The biggest motion throughoutJigsawis if Kramer is truly alive and how he live if he had been drained for a decade . The reveal of Kramer being the originator behind the game again was a shock to the audience but not to the players – in fact , only Anna recognized him , and that ’s just because she was his neighbor . If the barn plot had been determine in the nowadays , as viewers are led to believe , and Kramer was alive ( somehow ) , Anna and Ryan would have reacted completely other than and would have been shocked to see a beat military man live and well .
Ryan did not respond to Kramer ’s presence because he had no idea who he was , so to him , he was simply a crazy humans who enjoyed torment and killing others . To Anna , it was a big shock to see someone she consider she knew assign her and the rest through so much botheration .

Kramer’s First Game Was Unlike Others
Kramer usually tally a way out to every one of his traps .

Kramer usually added a way out to every one of his ambuscade , though many of them forget the dupe with some permanent strong-arm harm , butin his first secret plan , he gave them the easiest fashion outand none of the instrumentalist seized it .
What Kramer want was for them to confess their criminal offence and truly repent , something none of them truly did . Even in the final ambuscade , with the shotgun set to backfire , he told Anna and Ryan that the shell inside it was the key to their freedom – and it was , because he hid the key to their chain in the shell . alas , Anna lead the shotgun to kill Ryan and was instead kill by it , destroying the keys , too .

The hearing is led to believe this is the man who come alive up too late during the game ’s first level and was killed by the buzz ambuscade , butthat man ’s head never adjoin the blades , just his back – and later on , Logan ’s back is register to have various mark that pair the blade .
It made no sensation , then , that “ pail head ” ’s head would have been sliced in half , more so as he was wearing the pail . It ’s subsequently revealed in Logan ’s plan that he did so to leave the dupe almost unrecognizable , which in a style is reminiscent of what happened to him after that same mental testing , as he became a completely different person .

3Eleanor’s Engine Trap
The Engine Trap Is Key To The Twist Reveal

Another breath that should have givenJigsaw ’s timeline twist away to fans of the saga is that the dealership had act with timeline before . Since the first movie , theSawfranchise has relied on flashbacks to search the victim ’s backstories , butSaw IIandSaw IVtook treble timeline to another level . Saw IIran soJigsawcould walk , as it did the same trick of show a “ biz ” that had already taken placeand through which Kramer was diddle with the police ( and the filmmaker with the audience ) .
Saw IVfollows the aftermath of Kramer ’s death and the final game he left prepared , as he had plan for his death . At the same prison term , it croak to the past to explore Kramer ’s backstory , as told by his wife .
