ball shaving!!! yeah!!!
The poker game scene makes the nickname "Crazy 8" more ironic. Walter was highly intimidated by the nickname "Crazy 8," but Domingo got that nickname because he was too afraid to win a poker hand against his boss.

How can you fold a set on a safe board? That's really crazy.
Krazy 8 is a great example of a side character in the breaking bad universe that's extremely well written and has a story as interesting as a main character if you pay attention to all their appearances

Thats what makes this show and the writing so freaking good not only did vince allrdy know how the show was gonna end they made sure to flesh out almost every single character no matter how minor they might have been. I havent finished the video yet but i wonder if krazy 8 after being arrested and snitching on Gus's dead drops i wonder if he snitched on his cousin emilo and got him arrested and almost got jesse arrested also
My head canon for Domingo showing up not in uniform after the black eye is that he avoided work so that his dad didn’t see the black eye. He was already stressed leading a double life before then, and when he skipped work, he got into an argument with his dad so he decided to quit and delve deeper into the drug world

This makes a lot of sense. It’s interesting how dramatic Domingo’s story is despite being a side character. A man living a double life learns to stand up to his father and run his own crew in the drug trade. Then he becomes a DEA informant, probably picks up a few kills and a few fights, then meets Walter and Jesse

I love how Krazy 8 acts like Jesse (soft and amateur) in Better Call Saul and is oppressed by Nacho. And in Breaking Bad he acts like Nacho (tough and professional) and oppresses Jesse.

Krazy 8 tough guy personality was in response to Nacho, but where Nacho was often the reserved "strong silent type," Krazy 8 was just a shallower intimidation of that.
I love when Lalo sits with the guys at the table, it makes him seem friendly but when we get to know him it actually makes him more terrifying.

Krazy-8 is a fantastic example of a side character that can be analysed from many different perspectives with enough room for us to speculate when certain events regarding him happened (such as when exactly he stopped working at Tampico). Shoutout to Max Arciniega for being able to perform his role so well! Fun fact: there's a store named "Crazy 8" in Better Call Saul (episode 9 of Season 3) which must be an omage to Krazy-8 himself.

Fun fact: Krazy was supposed to die the same time Emilio did, however the cast and crew loved his actor so much and was such a nice guy that they asked Vince if his character could stay on the show for a bit longer.

Hey Kiwi? How long before the next video release?
I would say this is a crazy long video for someone who was only around for 10 episodes, but then again, Tuco was only around for 7 episodes and his is a similar length.

I've been watching through all your breaking bad and better call saul videos recently and I just wanted to say that your videos are so amazing, and the amount of time and effort you put into them is great! All of the videos have a lot of research put into them and they are all super well made.
I was really happy to see this in my feed, Krazy-8 has always been a personal sleeper favorite thanks to those first Breaking Bad episodes. What a way to start off the show immediately in a way that hooked me (and apparently nearly everyone). I was happy when they expanded on him in Better Call Saul, which gives those scenes with Walt even more meaning, the way Rogue One was already a good film on its own, but as more is added to the 'Andorverse', the end of his story grows ever more meaningful.
The fact that you can make an hour and a half video about such a minor character is insane.

@TheVividKiwi When's the Breaking Bad season 4 retrospective coming out? 😢
kiwi is one of the best youtubers out there, extremely detailed and accurate, putting together so many things i would have missed about my favorite 2 shows. thanks a ton.
Your BB/BCS content has always been my favorite out of any other, but your character retrospectives are on another level. Incredibly happy to have found your channel! Also I’m putting my vote in for a Badger retrospective at some point. He’s my favorite character :)
41:13 I'd imagine Emilio cooks the majority of the product, while Krazy-8 funds and manages the operation and people. Jesse seems to be the most adept at procurement, had relationships with smurfs who obtain psuedo, and I guess pushes whatever Emilio cooks. I've been trying to see if there's a ball park of how much product or money they found on Emilio when he was busted but haven't been so lucky. Getting caught cooking meth and released kind of implies either Krazy 8 or Emilio had enough funds to pay what was likely a substantial bail amount on that serious of a charge. If they're pushing 1 or 2 lbs of meth a month, that's a decent amount of money split between a small crew and to operate in a small area or network. Considering Jesse never had to pay rent or had any real expenses at that time, he was probably blowing his money on partying, upgrading his car, paying web hosting fees, etc...not saving any of it.
Now that I’m early to one of your videos and can leave a comment that you’ll hopefully see, I absolutely LOVE your videos man. I always put them on to listen to when I’m playing Minecraft, and you’re just so good at going through the story of these shows, bravo kiwi
39:53 there's also possible that salamanca purged or disowned Nacho associates. Because when Nacho died the Salamancas was told that he work for Alvarez for years. That might include Nachos associates
Dude the ocarina of time soundtrack in the background thought I was going crazy. Classic 👌
hell yeah another banger bcs/breaking bad retrospective, just in time for christmas
Yo, the way that Vince Gilligan and co add little details is amazing. I didn't even notice the tampico logo on his shirt even during rewacthes of Better Call Saul.
It’s cool to see you do a video on Krazy-8 man. Keep up the great work and have a great Christmas weekend. Take care!

I didn’t realise that was crazy 8 in better call saul. Cool
The weirdest thing is that Tuco even allows krazy 8 to run his business, considering his whole “nobody sells crystal but me.” Thing.
I also like Hank using his "lie-detector" on Krazy8 at the interrogation as Gomez is checking Krazy8's papers. Krazy8 makes the same nervous and scared facial expression as he did when Tuco used his "lie-detector" Altho it was short, Krazy8 felt the same fear with Hank when he did with Tuco.
Lalo Salamanca literally gave Domingo his iconic BrBra name and Hector Salamanca his iconic bell.
Such a great job! Very detailed and interesting 👍👍👍
When you post content like this i feel liike breaking bad is still on the air , appreciate the work 💪
huh, kinda funny that both krazy and nacho's final moments involve using a broken plate/mug being concealed as a weapon
thank you so much for these breakdowns!!!!!!
Decent Breakdown, I appreciate the effort.
Great video man, keep up the great content
this is how deep the breaking bad universe is. Even a minor side character has 1 and a half hours worth of lore and story. Bravo vince!! 👏
One of Walt's idiosyncrasies was adopting a character trait of somebody he killed, though I forgot what he took from Gus and Mike.

Walt cutting the crust off the sandwiches was nothing but forecasting of how he takes treats from people that he kills like kneeling on the floor to vomit with a towel after he killed Gus and saying you’re not done I see you’re done like dead after he killed him
For some reason I thought you made a video about him already but I’m actually happy to come across from this! While Jimmy and Nacho are my favorite characters out of the whole franchise I have a special appreciation for krazy-8 he’s so underrated and the fact that we know him but we don’t fully know everything about him makes the character even more intriguing to me. It’s even more sad to know how he died after seeing him bcs. I also saw a theory somewhere that Domingo and principal Carmen are related somehow bc they share a last name but ik that’s probably far fetched
One thing I always love about both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is its use of side characters. They never feel like extras and props for the main characters. They feel like people who have their own stories that happens in the background.
Everything about this show is so well done. I think it has more replay value than breaking bad.
SO STOKED for this video
When’s breaking bad season 4 coming out lol you’ve been MIA for months
Dude im so glad i scrolled upon this video. i was just thinking last night, after a breaking bad yt video that didnt even mention him, about krazy and the many other characters stories you recieve through out the stories of jimmy mcgill and walter white
It’s kind of funny how this retrospective is probably longer than all of Crazy 8’s screen time, and yet I listened to the whole thing…
Man you've got to love the background music!
always felt kinda sorry for this guy
I'm going Krazy 8 times, from this man not having minimun 100k subs with videos like this
What I can tell you about the first ever scene with KRAZY-8, I read the screenplay of Pilot & he was originally playing NBA video game on his PS2 instead of training his dog. Also his home was described as a ‘crack house’. If there is an extended version of his first scene as you mentioned I want to watch it.
Wind waker pirate ship music>
To answer your question about Walt going to the police instead of killing him or letting him go, it's not an option. Firstly there's almost no chance Krazy 8 would get charged with anything, whereas Walt would definitely get charged with kidnapping and probably murder. The DA would have no real case against Krazy 8. Any evidence or testimony would be from Walt/Jesse, kidnappers who disposed of a body in acid.
I cant wait to watch this 😭
The goat of BrBa and BCS content has once again blessed us with another banger
I love the Zelda background music. Kakariko village from ocarina at 46:40. Never noticed it until now
R u alive kiwi ?
Please make more videos on this topic. And put them in a playlist. I'd like to know more about every criminal character from Br Ba. How about Hector Salamanca?
Hey nice video kiwi!!!
Manscape marketing team "do they have a youtube channel? Yes make a deal"
I can't agree that Crazy-8 had a "heart of gold at his core". He used that veneer with the intention of coming back to murder Walt and Jesse. Nothing he did indicated he had any true good in him.
You go soooo much in detail
No way Kiwi put ocarina of time music in this video 🤤
Man if I have to relisten to your tier list videos again before season 4 comes out I’m going to lose it.
A little off on those dates. Had me feeling a lot older than I am 😀- Great video!
BB & BCS was so good because they knew their audience was smarter that most tv.shows think. They didnt over write and over explain stuff, to where it was obvious that it was just exposition to tell the audience what is going on. That's why most tv is just unwatchable, imo. Excellent video, bud! Glad the almighty algorithm recommended you.
