JigSaw



JigSaw (ジグソ, Jiguso) Whose real name is John Kramer (ジョンクラマ, Jon Kurama) was a civil engineer dying from an inoperable frontal lobe tumor that had developed from colon cancer. After a failed suicide attempt, Kramer experienced a new respect for his own life and set out to put others through deadly trials to help them appreciate their own lives by testing their will to live through self-sacrifice. Frequently the tests were symbolic of a perceived flaw in each person's life. The Jigsaw name was given by the media for his practice of cutting puzzle pieces out of the flesh of those who failed their ordeals and perished, symbolic of their missing survival instincts. Darlene soon went on the case to unmask JigSaw and announced "These killings will come to and end, or I will die trying to put them to an end!" JigSaw welcomed Darlene's "challenge" with warm arms. As a matter of fact, in a JigSaw crime scene shortly after Darlene's broadcast, he taped a message. "Hello, D. I want to play a game. A game where neither player knows the other one's name nor face. In your last video you said you would catch me. I want to see you try. You'll have to work hard, be clever, and I, the same. Just watch me, D. I'll record videos with my right hand and build traps with my left. I'll take a glass.of water, and drink it. Let the game begin." JigSaw is voiced by Osamu Hosoi in the original, Tobin Bell in the english dub and Robert De Niro in the Italian dub.
