Twisted Metal features characters who frequently die yet return, creating a narrative ambiguity. A significant flashback shows John meeting a seemingly ordinary drifter named Calypso, who regards himself as the great uniter. Calypso questions John’s wish for stability and companionship, promoting the idea of solitude as true freedom. His supernatural powers are hinted at when he magically alters John's beverage and demonstrates a dark presence in the present. These elements support theories about Calypso being a devil figure and the series existing within a purgatorial framework.
Calypso, seen as a mere drifter, claims he is the great uniter of this broken nation, revealing a deeper connection to the chaotic world of Twisted Metal.
John encounters Calypso, who challenges his desire for a stable family life, asserting that true freedom must be experienced alone rather than through companionship.
