This naturally made him a fan-favorite character over the past five seasons of Better Call Saul.Social media sites like Twitter were flooded with opinions and remarks after Better Call Saul season 6, episode 3, aired on April 25, 2022.Better Call Saul@BetterCallSaulThanks, Team Nacho. #BetterCallSaul9538734Thanks, Team Nacho. #BetterCallSaul https://t.co/K7tFPtaxOBWhat happened to Nacho in the latest episode of Better Call Saul? View this post on Instagram Instagram PostTitled Rock and Hard Place, the thrilling episode majorly focused on Varga and his attempts to escape the Salamanca twins, Daniel and Luis Moncada. The previous episode had already put his fate in jeopardy. He knew he would not permanently escape Salamanca's shadow, but he wanted to tie off the loose ends of his side.After hiding in an abandoned tank, he called his father to make sure he was alive and free, which was his primary purpose either way. After this, he readily marched to death and finally went out on his terms. He did this with the help of Mike, who took him to Hector Salamanca.He made a deal with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), and he kept his end of the promise by not revealing anything about Gus to the Salamanca even after he was caught. Instead, he gave a lengthy monologue, disclosing his deeds, and came clean to Hector, albeit with vitriol. He then shot himself.Fans react to a beloved character's deathNacho Varga was a man of honor despite his criminal roots. This episode explored his story till the end. Fans of the show celebrated the character and the actor after his honorable death.Chris Lair@ChrisLair8I'm not a fan of Hollywood award shows. But if there's any rhyme or reason for having them anymore, they should give an Emmy to Michael Mando for his portrayal of Nacho. From beginning to end, he has shown some of the best acting chops on TV. #BetterCallSaul3125258I'm not a fan of Hollywood award shows.
