Better call saul subsequently destroys jimmy mcgill and embraces saul goodman, however what does that mean for the four last seasons until season 6?
Season 6 of Better Call Saul will finally see the death of Jimmy McGill and the true birth of Saul Goodman, characters viewers were first introduced to in Breaking Bad.
Jimmy's transition to Saul Goodman was a long process throughout Better Call Saul, however, the show eventually adopted his name.
Jimmy's character in the early seasons of Better Call Saul is defined by his efforts—and ultimately failure—to make his brother McGill's name.
The conflict between him and his brother brings Jimmy to the diversity he feels because people are always comparing him to Chuck's unattainable standards.
Not really associated with the McGill name, Jimmy has always tried to create his own identity over the years.
In the Season 4 finale of Better Call Saul, viewers believe they saw the final change when Jimmy legally changed his name to Saul Goodman and opened his law practice under the same name.
However, Jimmy's relationship with Howard Hamlin, whose name is also listed in Chuck's Hamlin Hamlin McGill (or HHM) law firm, means that Jimmy's connection to his family name was never severed.
