If Barry doesn't became Savitar; doesn't that mean he never goes in the past? Amd Jay still knows about Savitar? 2. Why the Black Flash didn't appear to kill Zoom for screwing with the timeline or Barrytar in that case? Thus, the show itself points to a start in everything. Jay is before Flashpoint. He knows Savitar. Barrytar is post-Flashpoint named as Savitar. Why would they make the flashback Savitar as the comic Savitar, except the dreadlocks and ceremonial suit?

All in all: I got the feeling that they didn't think to Barry as Savitar. I guess it was Eddie Thawne.

Barry being Savitar was planned from the beginning, it was built up all season, and it makes a lot of thematic sense.
