The line's true meaning depends on its context.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The line “be seeing you” is repeated numerous times by different characters across the John Wick universe, but its true meaning isn’t necessarily obvious. While the John Wick films are praised for their stunning visuals and meticulously choreographed action, the distinguishing factor of the franchise is its compelling and intricate criminal world.

The significance of “be seeing you” is universally acknowledged in the world of John Wick. Yet, unlike the rules of the Continental or the obligations of the marker, its meaning is unspoken and ambiguous. The line, which becomes synonymous with the inevitability of John’s journey, can be read as a simple threat, one of the many ways John Wick characters guarantee violence. However, the deeper meaning is one that only comes out during meditative final moments.

In these instances, the phrase no longer implies violence. Rather, it seems to be an acknowledgment from one assassin to the next that they are all going to the same place. It’s this awareness that underpins the mutual respect most assassins share in John Wick’s world.

John Wick's "Be Seeing You" Motif Was Foreshadowing His Death All Along The double-meanings of “be seeing you” point to the oxymoron at the heart of John Wick’s nature. On one hand, he is a seemingly immortal spirit of inevitable violence: the Baba Yaga, an angel of death whose promise of “be seeing you” is always fulfilled. On the other hand, John Wick is a mortal man, one whose love for his late wife motivates his every action.
