Rely on his team to catch Savitar immediately, and he'd be without Iris. Not create a Time Remnant in his efforts to defeat Savitar. Even if Iris was killed, Barry could still stop the loop from continuing by. That lingering second thing he needs is a curious twist. After his transformation into Savitar, he sought to. A time remnant of Barry from this future was created, and after being shunned for not being the original Barry he became a powerful, mythical, armored speedster, known as Savitar. Which means he's fully aware that he needs to play the role Savitar did for him, and kill Iris - beginning the cycle of torment all over again. After Barry undid Flashpoint, a causal loop was created with a possible future of Iris dying in front of Barry. Savitar is fully aware of his true identity as a Barry Allen Time Remnant that this current hero has yet to create. That's as clear a perspective on Savitar's goal as can probably be offered. it may sound ironic given who I'm talking to, but I'll keep to myself.' And I only need two more things: for Iris to die so that you are driven so far into the dark that I can be born.

And that's when I realized the truth, Barry: God feels no pain. It's the kind of science fiction that only sounds complicated when you try to explain it, so fortunately, the evil Barry/Time Remnant/Savitar revealed at the end of the previous episode states it plainly for our Barry in the opening scene: Did future barry allen create savitar himself by accident by trying to stop savitar in that timeline would that mean savitar is a. How did future barry allen (the future barry in S3 E19) create time remnants to try and stop savitar when one of those remnants are future flash (which is savitar). What he found instead was a fractured Team Flash. It was no accident, but the required Remnant that would survive beyond Savitar's imprisonment in the Speed Force, begin to come apart at the seams, and eventually realize its true destiny. Still confused on how Savitar is the future flash. This week on The Flash, Barry traveled to the future to hopefully get intel on Savitar’s identity, to thus help him save Iris from certain death. 'mostly.' That's the detail that sends the entire time loop in motion, with Cisco deducing that Savitar actually let a single Time Remnant of Barry survive. To accomplish the task, FutureBarry explained, he had even created Time Remnants of himself (traveling backwards a short while, and pulling that version forward) which Savitar had killed.

Savitar had been caught alright, but not before he killed Iris. The results weren't as hopeful as expected, with the team disbanded, scarred, and broken. Essentially the Grim Reaper of the Speed Force, the Black Flash appears only as a speedster dies. For those who recall Barry's trip to 2024, he set out to discover just how he and his friend managed to defeat Savitar (as they clearly had, since there was no mention of him in the infamous future newspaper in their possession). Let’s count down the 15 Speedsters Faster than Barry Allen. Labs whiteboard - in this case, by Cisco Ramon. The timeline re-writing and time travel behind Barry's trip into becoming Savitar is helpfully illustrated, as always, upon the S.T.A.R.
