I feel like Ghostface would spare a survivor now and then solely because he gets a kick out of a power dynamic. Like, "I could've killed you, and you know it." He seems like the kind of guy who likes scaring the survivors more than killing them.

[@bozeia]

I would personally bump Oni up to the "small chance he might spare you" category. There is an anecdote within the Tome 17 lore pages where he purposefully spares a teenager despite the boy stabbing him in the leg and calling him an oni to his face. It's implied that he does so because he's impressed by the boy's bravery and also because the boy himself wasn't one of the men pretending to be something he wasn't. Oni's entire thing is very specifically about being a slave to his own anger, certainly, but if he's _not_ angry with you then he leaves you alone. He leaves witnesses to his brutal killings alone for one thing (because they're farmers who also don't pretend to be samurai), and in the Tome 17 lore he's also described as having something of a friend in another man who kind of eggs him on into attacking a foreign trade ship. He's also notably one of the killers that does have glowing white eyes. They're usually obscured by his standard mask, but if you equip certain cosmetics that reveal parts of his face you're able to see them. They're not as bright as the Deathslinger's white eyes but, if we're putting stock into the theory that killers with white eyes are being deceived or manipulated by the Entity, then it's likely he's one of the killers who sees the survivors as something they're not. Most likely, he sees them as the disarmed guards of the lord he murdered, the lord himself (with the mori capping that off with ripping a tongue out), men who pretend to be samurai, or perhaps as one of the many villagers who mobbed him after he murdered their lord. Obviously he's still monstrous, but I feel like there _is_ a chance he might spare someone if they somehow impress him. Or if his vision is somehow unclouded temporarily.

[@tevinanarchy774]

Agreed, the dude has some real anger issues, but he has his own twisted sense of honor. Those who don’t piss him and his honor system off are probably going to be spared

[@MindbenderTTV]

A quick note about Amanda. The reason why she rigs the traps is because she doesn't want anyone else to escape and become an apprentice. She is too jealous to let that happen. This is her way to steal as much attention as possible from her father figure. Therefore, I don't think she would spare anyone. She would more than likely go the extra way to make sure the survivor dies. Like shooting someone in the head, even though they are read, just to make sure.

[@TurbulentEitri]

I don't recall Amanda killing people purely out of jealousy nor fearing for anyone becoming an apprentice for surviving a trap of hers. She was only jealous towards Lynn when John was becoming delusional during the operation and saw the doctor as his wife. She ended up shooting the doctor primarily because of the blackmail letter that Hoffman left for her in place of where John's letter to her was supposed to be. In fact, there's been a fair few signs after SAW III pointing towards Hoffman being the one that rigged the death traps with Troy and Kerry.

[@ragunaraiden]

I think it might go the opposite way though, especially reading her DBD lore. She seems to almost think being sent to the Realm is another test from John himself, and she knows her previous actions made him upset. So she may let any survivors who are showing a true will to live actually go - like Jigsaw intended. Her traps AREN'T rigged in the game - survivors can very fairly get them off, and they don't even start ticking until a generator is going. The timers also stop when she's chasing them, they're downed, or on a hook - a strange feature to include. She can also carry a survivor with an active trap out of the gates to spare them in game (I know it is there to ensure pig can't just carry you across to insta-kill you, but it does still work). No one else in the realm is at risk of stealing her apprentice spot - here she can perfectly hone her craft to be Jigsaw's perfect apprentice with endless subjects. I think she's actually HIGHLY likely to spare any survivors who are actually putting up a fight and going all out trying to live.

[@ehaydon3491]

no, she rigs her traps because she feels people can never get better, therefor don’t deserve to live. this is why she is so distraught in 3 when jeff spares the judge, she didn’t think anyone would be able to, and it shakes her to the core

[@ragunaraiden]

@ehaydon3491 yes that's what she did in the movie. The DBD characters have a timeline deviation from the source material. Her DBD traps are explicitly NOT rigged.

Nurse killed the patients because they were too sickly to deserve life, in her view. Thus, if you survived a trial without ever getting injured, she’d probably decide you’re truly healthy and thus deserving of life. On the other hand, Wesker might spare a knowledgeable survivor on the condition they meet up later outside of the trial and plan some kind of escape from the realm. Vitorio and Jonah in particular seem viable for this.

[@CTC41392]

Heck, wouldn't even be surprised if Wesker decided to get some aid from his former comrades from S.T.A.R.S. and his Hired Merc, Ada. Even though he still wants both Chris and Jill dead, he still needs them to escape the Entity's realm.

[@Dani.335]

i think wesker only spares the hight IQ or worthy survivors, because wesker wants to make a world with super humans like him. So, if the survivor are inteligent and have a high chances of asimilate the uroboros to become a better human, he will spare his life.

[@Hitail0]

I disagree to some extent with The Clown. In the official DBD lore he did spare Benedict Baker. "The Clown surveyed its new surrounding and its gaze lit on me. A rictus split its face in two and it nodded at me before returning to the caravan. I suspect that it prefers its victims to be less aware than I, and I thanked the stars for that.''

[@archbishopofthecrusades9579]

Depending in you're definition of spare, the Pig does the same thing, but it probably just intends to kill them later, for some reason.

[@tevinanarchy774]

Yeah, but that was because he enjoys going after victims with surprise attacks or when they’re sedated, it’s even stated that’s what he did when he was a serial killer outside the entities realm. The entry states he only went back in his shack because he prefers unaware victims

This is fun, but let's be real, the Entity would probably just corrupt and torture them until they have no more sympathy left.

[@Peachrocks5]

Which is why sympathy wouldn't be a driving motivation. Which is why Evan I think gives them trouble. The video states it's because he once tried to stand up for the workers, I think it's also because Evan does not like anyone controlling him or being their master. There's a few who would qualify here or have another reason aside empathy to not kill the survivors. Wesker might for the similar reason of not liking being a subordinate or consider killing/sacrificing wasteful for some reason. Joey would be threatened by the threat of what would happen to the other Legion members but seeing them embrace their darker natures would in turn weaken Joey's spirit until he felt there was no point to anything and refuse to do the entity's bidding in addition to having empathy. Artist is similar, she's very empathic and spirited, it takes people cutting her arms and tongue out just to stop her doing what she does and even that might not be enough, it might not be possible to drain that empathy. Not to mention that Artist is the entity's plaything almost. There's very few characters he was more obsessed with then Carmina.

The thing about Freddy (at least the original and not the remake) is that he clearly isn't completely unreasonable. If you managed to convince him that you are of more use to him alive than dead, he would probably leave you alone so long as you are still useful in some way. And the fact that he probably doesn't enjoy the Entity limiting his powers just makes him more likely to rebel against the Entity and it's wishes.

The unknown would 100% spare a survivor purely because it increases his power- if you believe he gains power from the rumors spread, if everyone dies that’s no rumors to be spread, I also think Knight and oni would spare survivors if they put up fight, a survivor sees somone in trouble and fights the oni- despite his power, that’s honor- that’s the code of the samurai, they may not be a “true” samurai but they have the honor of one same with knight- he hates hypocrisy, and if he heard a survivor say they hate the killer and want to fight back- and then do it, he may spare them because unlike most survivors they aren’t a coward

For my own head canon, I really want to believe that Carmina (the artist) sparks the humanity within Evan (the trapper) him seeing her art pieces within the trial sparking that joy for art Evan once had before it was squashed out by his father. Seeing the beauty in her paintings, & particularly if Trapper was ever able to see her Iri add on "Garden of Rot" which shows Carmina herself with a growing darkness within her. A path that Evan had himself the good squashed by a growing darkness. That Evan would leave art pieces for her to see. Im not saying a romance but perhaps a friendship where Evan would look around the trials for her art just to try to interpret how Carmina is feeling through her art.

[@detectivecolonel874]

There's a bit in the Malevolence tome where Ghost Face decides not to kill a guy he'd be stalking for a good while, because he got slightly distracted by a newspaper after breaking into the house, and decided that it wasn't professional enough to continue the murder after his emotions interfered with the scheme. He even hides in a pantry while the victim almost detects him, and Ghostie prays desperately for him to not open the door, because he does not want to kill him at all unless it goes exactly as intended. The newspaper in question was from a group of to-be copycats that Ghostie thought disgraced the reputations of several serial killers, to include himself, by writing about them in a parodical way. He hated them so much for disrespecting the "legends" that he looked up to, that he ended up losing his composure and killing them all when he was supposed to just be doing reconnaissance. Ghostie really takes his image seriously. At the slightest going that it wasn't going to be a perfect design, he aborted a kill that he'd been planning for probably weeks. But during the creation of the next design, he was so overwhelmed by indignation that he disregarded his image for just a moment and killed three guys, one of whom he stabbed around a hundred times in the face, without even wearing his mask.

If he finds Yun-Jin in the realm, he would definitely want to kill her more than any other survivor. I think I agree more with your second argument: He's more likely (and funny) to spare the lives of survivors who don't have an "interesting" scream. But I actually think he would also kill them because it's his job and he has to do it, but he would probably kill them in a less brutal and faster way (because he has less interest in them).

I think Charlotte would spare the survivors if she doesn’t feel threatened by them. She’s a survivor at heart, and in the lore she only attacks people who have hurt her first. I think she might see the survivors as members of the black veil, as I’m not sure why else she would attack them if they don’t hurt her or victor. Maybe it’s because she feels threatened by being in the enclosed space of the trials, or maybe she wants to loot them for things and food. I’m not sure.

In Aliens, the Queen understood that Ripley was threatening her eggs with the flamethrower and did command her guards to back off. I think if a survivor put their flashlight or firecracker on the ground before Xenomorph, something that it knows is a weapon, MAYBE that would work as a bargaining chip. To the Queen at least.

For Artist, she would 100% of the time spare survivors actually. It was shown in one of the recent rift tomes that came out before this video. She doesn't want to hook the survivors to kill them... but the entity is manipulating her vision to make the survivors look like paint ink and the hooks a unfinished painting that the survivor is the final spot of paint missing. Artist is still fully human despite her appearance, crow like noises and bird nerves/reactions.

Trickster would, specifically, NOT spare Yun-Jin. He'd definitely not care if the survivor in question had a bad scream though, so thats a good call.

[@Nukem9999]

Pinhead isn't under the Entity's control, instead answering to Leviathan if he answers to anyone. His decisions about killing or sparing would be based on that, not the Entity's desires. Survivors that like or enjoy the Entity's Realm, such as David, Bill and Sable, would be hunted mercilessly. They want the suffering, after all. But Survivors who just want to escape and never wanted to be here, like Dwight, Claudette and the RE characters, he would be inclined to let go. He sums it up in the second movie: "It is not hands that call us, it is DESIRE."

[@TurbulentEitri]

Albert Wesker had spared Jill before the events of RE5 as well as leave people on the ground after beating them up such as Claire and Chris when he gets bored and distracted by something else. If you can prove yourself worthy of his attention, it can be both good or bad depending on how you do so as he did personally recruit Rebecca after acknowledging her smarts. He also knows how to kill quickly and cleanly which makes his shot against Rebecca in RE1 seem more of a way to incapacitate her for later than kill her on the spot. Amanda Young is certainly a troubled person, but she struggles to outright kill people in a cruel manner seeing how she went back to Adam who was left for a slow death by Jigsaw to mercy kill him from the torture. She works herself up to kill Eric Matthews after he insulted her and Jigsaw, but ended up just leaving him on the ground for him to be collected for confinement. The rigged traps against Troy and Kerry have been hinted at being Hoffman's doing alongside his blackmail letter that made her snap and ultimately die with her shooting Lynn and getting shot by Jeff because of such. Sadako Yamamura is another complicated character in that she did personally put the survival clause into the tape so that people would know how to handle her curse, but it was sabotaged by the group of kids in the cabin who tried to record a sports game onto it iirc. Ryuji was able to briefly commune with the dead Sadako and relay the clause to Reiko after his death to save Yoichi. She also spares Yoichi and Mai Takano in Ringu 2 near the end. There's also a lighthearted manga that came out called "Sadako-san and Sadako-chan" where her vengeful spirit ends up befriending a Sadako child and takes up streaming as a hobby with them.

11:46 I believe you mentioned in another video that the entity tricks spirit into seeing the survivors as images of her father, which is why she's so bloodthirsty. If that's true then I'd assert that without that veil over spirits' eyes, she'd be completely disinterested in killing anyone other than her father, or maybe anyone who looks like someone who had previously wronged her. If that's untrue, or if you're speaking as if the entity is keeping that shroud over her vision intact, then I agree with the placement.

- Myers spares kids and old people, confirmed in the movies. However he won’t if they threaten or try to hurt him. He also spares some teenagers and adults if they have absolutely nothing to do with the grudges that he has. - Wesker spares people he’s disinterested in or doesn’t think are worthy competitors. He spared Claire in RE, instead going after Chris. Ada asked Wesker to not harm Leon, and after the Krauser mess, he didn’t. - I think legion, all of them, would spare someone only if they have something to offer. Aka Jeff. Jeff painted something for them, so I don’t think if they met, Jeff would ever be a target. - Spirit would definitely spare someone. She’s an angry soul, but I don’t think she wants to kill. I think it’s the entity that makes her this way. When her face turns solemn, that’s the real her. I feel like it’s the same with the artist. They are just being controlled. - Amanda never rigged a trap. It was actually Hoffman. In none of the traps did Amanda or John Kramer rig it. All of the unbeatable ones were Hoffman. This is revealed in the films. Hoffman rigged Carries trap, the classroom trap, and.. pretty much all of the rigged ones. - Pyramid head would only spare survivors that haven’t done something awfully wrong. He would let Meg leave, Feng, Claud, The resident evil cast.

[@raptordan166]

I disagree with Myers, he seems to kill when it's free game and when he's in the mood for it. He originally spared an old couple in the first movie, but in 2017 he murders an old couple. Same deal where he left alone kids who bumped into him in broad daylight, but murders the hunters kid in the truck because he was alone, was in the driver's seat and in his way, and was armed.

[@xweert711]

3:38 It does depend on which Sadako lore you pick, but if it's Movie Sadako, she probably would be likely to spare them. In Ringu 2 for example Sadako actually does spare the main characters because they show her compassion and embrace her body in the well, although she grieves for still needing to be stuck down there.

[@canoligreen92]

[@StomeAura]

The upcoming Dracula is also a complex case. Vlad Tepes knows that what he is doing is evil, and he chooses to do it because its evil, but it isn’t simply for cruelty, it was revenge, and mass revenge at that. Dracula’s wife was burned alive at the stake because a bunch of ignorant villagers accused her of witchcraft after she used herbs to heal people, and so Dracula waged war on all of humanity, sick of the greed and evil of humans themselves. So basically, that combined with the fact that he needs to drink blood, and that he knows he’s a monster and any interaction with a human will end up in a fight, he’s not likely to spare a human. However, even though he is too far along to ever be merciful, he loved Lisa with every fiber of his being, and even loved his son Alucard when they were all still a family. Granted as the years pass, Dracula feelings of love for his family fades with every time he resurrects, so it only exists in brief, but powerful moments of realization of what he’s done. Sadly however, no matter how much humanity he had, he had no reason to show humanity to any random human, so sadly, he wouldn’t spare any.

Id place Legion in "small chance to spare" considering theyre some of the MOST human of the killers- with Frank and Julie being psycho/sociopaths, Joey wanting to have fun with the gang, and Susie just wanting to fit in. I could see the Legion sparing survivors that they respect, or even Susie having a moment of doubt or pity and letting 1 survivor escape

[@lapisinfernalis9052]

I think Wesker would have spared Chris in the past (up to RE5) because the way he always tries to convince Chris to see "reason" or to join him let me think that Wesker sees potential in Chris. During RE5 it's hard to tell if Wesker still tries or if he finally realized that Chris will not join him or let him do his plans, so he tries to kill him. Another survivor Wesker might occasionally spare is Rebecca. I don't really know why he had a picture of her hidden deeply inside his desk at RPD, but there has to be... SOME reason, however messed up it might be.

[@TheMightyFoxxy]

Elliot Spencer is still within Pinhead, though the means to bring him back out are not likely to be available within the realm. In one of the movies he is turned back into Elliot simply by being reminded of himself and his memories, while in another movie Pinhead was split into two individuals, one being Elliot and one being Pinhead, though they were remerged later on. In the comics he has been returned to human form as well a couple times.

Afaik the Entity just drags him into the fog instead of altering his mind/perception, right?

[@valentinemiller8680]

I think Pinhead has more humanity than he's given credit for. There is a Hellraiser comic in which a young teen girl solves the Lament Configuration. When the Cenobites arrive, they see her for who she is, a young girl being abused by her father. When they appear, she literally calls them angels, believing they will save her from her father. They take pity on her as an innocent and instead take her father for the things he did to her. This I think shows clear humanity on their part. They are able to distinguish innocent people from not innocent people and call feel sympathy for those in horrible situations and spare them. They can easily spare people if they feel like the circumstances are unfair and will bend the rules for her. After all, when she initially summons them, they are still willing to punish her, even though they know she is an innocent, but upon learning what she has been through, they no longer care about their rules and get revenge for her.
