Gus Fring's Death Is Possible (But Not Realistic) The blast wave severely injured his right side - but it didn't hit his vital organs, which could explain why Gustavo Fring's death in Breaking Bad wasn't immediate. Much of Gus' head and face was injured, but his skull was still intact.
Moments before dying, Gus manages to calmly adjust his tie even after having half his face blown off. Esposito saw it as an important gesture of "when a person goes to what they've always done ... to be complete in his leaving this world".
Because he wasn't dead yet. He was clearly mortally wounded, but he didn't lose any limbs, and his muscles were still connected, which makes it possible for him to walk and move, until the damage and trauma shuts his body down completely.
He would just kill Walter White and his family as soon as possible in a harsh way. Once recovered , Walter would have been forced to run away with his family. He could have made his family stay at Hank's but that would put Hank in danger.
Not looking at Gus is a sign of disrespect. Hector hates Gus but doesn't have a lot of ways of showing it. He's been reduced to a little man in a wheelchair while Gus just keeps growing in power and influence.
Were Gus and Max lovers? No, Max says outright that Gus is like a "brother to me". In BCS, the "boyfriend" line was delivered jokingly as in, it was quite obvious that their relationship was close and seen as homoerotic to people who worked near the two.
He is identified by the DEA as Hector Salamanca of the Cartel, but they think he hasn't been a major player in the business for years. As such, he is paralyzed and unable to speak as a result of a stroke (portrayed in Better Call Saul), and uses a brass service bell taped onto his wheelchair armrest to communicate.
A member of the Salamanca family, Hector is the son of Abuelita, the uncle of twins Marco and Leonel, Lalo, and Tuco, and is the grandfather of Joaquin. He raised Tuco as a son, and taught him and his other nephews that family is everything, living by the creed himself.
Zafiro Añejo is a fictitious brand of tequila and distilled beverage created for Breaking Bad. During a party with the Cartel, Gustavo Fring gifted a poisoned bottle of Zafiro Añejo to Don Eladio and his capos, causing them to drop dead within minutes.
Gustavo Fring's Drug Empire, known simply as Gus' Drug Empire, was an American drug organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and run by drug kingpin Gustavo Fring. It was the second most powerful drug organization in United States history, being surpassed only by Walter White's Drug Empire.
While much of Gus' Breaking Bad demise was achieved via practical prosthetic make-up appliances attached to Giancarlo Esposito's face, there was no realistic way to bring to life the effect they needed without augmenting the practical work with CGI.
Lalo Salamanca investigated the lab, discovering its true purpose and location. He failed, however, to give word to the Cartel. He and innocent bystander Howard Hamlin were buried in the lab's foundation.
Nacho and Arturo arrive at the Los Pollos Hermanos chicken farm to pick up their share of the next drug shipment. Arturo strongarms Gus's men for an extra kilo as he saw Nacho do on a previous occasion. As they leave, Arturo brags about his success, but Gus ambushes them and suffocates Arturo with a plastic bag.
Gus Fring's death is one of the most shocking elements in Breaking Bad, but the show may have actually foreshadowed it all the way back in season 2.

Hatred. Gus Fring's biggest weakness was his unending hatred for Hector Salamanca, who, twenty years ago, had shot his partner in the head just to make a point. That's why he spent the next 20 years in the drug business and not just go back to cooking fried chicken and making a stable profit.
Personality. Don Eladio is the charismatic but narcissistic and sociopathic head of his Cartel.
A member of the Salamanca family, Lalo is the grandson of Abuelita and one of Don Hector's nephews, having four cousins who are also involved in criminal activities within the Salamanca drug operation in the cartel: his main cousin and fellow distributor Tuco, his hitmen cousins Marco and Leonel, and his first cousin ...
The cousins both showed dedication to family, which was instilled in them by their uncle, Hector, who taught them that family was the most important thing in life, and was exemplified by their dedication to avenge the death of their cousin, Tuco who was killed by D.E.A. agent Hank Schrader.
After Bolsa and Gus visit Hector and promise him vengeance for Lalo's supposed death, Gus realizes from Hector's demeanor that Lalo is still alive.
Trivia. In an online 2013 article by Bustle, Todd Alquist was ranked as being the third most evil character on Breaking Bad, being surpassed only by Tuco Salamanca and his uncle Jack Welker. In addition, Todd is also one of the most hated characters in the series due to his heinous actions.
He raised Tuco as a son and taught him and his other nephews that family is everything, living by the creed himself. He is the second Salamanca family member to run their drug operation, following his nephew Tuco, and was succeeded by his nephew Lalo. Though brutal, Hector is very loyal to his family and the cartel.
In Breaking Bad, Walter White utilizes Hector Salamanca's desire for revenge against Gustavo Fring, implanting a pipe bomb under his wheelchair, with Gus, Hector, and Tyrus Kitt exploding to death during the showdown.
