One of the best analysis of Ambessa s cinzmatic. You guessed correctly on many points. The story is about her unevitable sacrifice to transform herself from a still vulnerable soldier to the iron will character we see in Arcane. The lamb both represents the sacrifice of that vulnerable part of herself, and the sacrifice of her child ( definitely Mel) in order to achieve her ambitions. It s not a physical sacrifice but a metaphorical one, as Mel represented a weakness for her, that she will later put aside to have free hands in her conquest of power. Kindred is putting her to the test: she can die with no honor, or she can join pantheon of mighty warriors if she proves worthy of it. By not giving up, she accesses to this pantheon and becomes kind of eternal form , but out of the real world. That is where Mel intervenes and pulls her back to reality (and physical life). We can see Ambessa disturbed and hesitating at that moment. The multiple Ambessas in the video each have to face a problematic to solve , and show us an aspect of the character. The will to survive and not giving up, the embracing of her own destiny and ambition, the difficulty of the sacrifices, the scars that struggles in life will mark in her mind and body. Shore at the end is not Ionia, btw
I definitely interpret many of these scenes as highly distorted versions of her memories. Like the scene in the desert could be a memory of her childhood in Shurima, where some sort of battle happened between her people and Noxus, but all the people have been replaced by those weird dancing creatures in her delirium The next scene is of her fighting as a gladiator in the arenas of Noxus after being captured by them, only with her actual opponents replaced by the Pantheon-like figure Then I think the next bit implies she impressed someone in the arena so much she was recruited into the Noxus military and fought her way up the ranks to the mighty general she is today And, yeah, I imagine the lamb represents a life without war, without blood on your hands. She used to have that but gave it up in order to survive and try to create a better future for her children, though she now feels she has failed at that
23:16 they VERY possibly did the same thing as with teemo, since they said in the Teemo ASU dev. that despite the appearance, teemo has "skeletons" in his 3D model to give him long ears and long tail, so that in future skins, if the skin requires it, those things can be added or removed and the model does not limit the creativity of the body design in skins... possibly they have done the same with the most recent champions and ambessa's hair can be modified or redesign, something that akali with her same hairstyle in 15 skins cannot do.
i love that ambessa, a pregnant woman in this video, can go fight in war... but who lets a pregnant woman fight in a war T^T noxus really said, 'if you want to, then go for it'. also been loving your videos! :D
17:59 I dont think she would cry for herself. I think the lamb is mel, and the young kid there is Kino. Looks much more like a boy. And the sight of what she has to lose saddens her. We must remember that Kino was rly close to Mel. And Ambessa is the type to only be emotional when it comes to either of her kids.
She's not crying for herself, she's crying for the life she didn't get to have, the life before the responsability, for her innocence, what she had to sacrifice
@@twisted35 might be a language barrier but that is technically crying for yourself. I do think the lamb represents her children, her initially planning to protect her kids like a lamb but coming to the realization that she needs to raise them as wolves if they are going to survive the cruel world that is Noxus.
Hmm to me the humanoid figure seems more like just wolf to me or a fusion of them together since lamb is not as prevalent in those lands. The skin line is called the chosen of the wolf, and the figure looks more male. Weird for lamb to gain power and get a bigger form when wolf should be the more dominate one there.
Damn how many times do I say "like" and "right?" in this video? :v

Thank you! And well said!
I think you nailed it on the 3 statues, everyone (including me) thought the little child was ambessa's child.

Good point!
@@twisted35 This looks like The Woman King
Hope we get to see more in lor someday! Imagine the followers!
Mel looked up to Kino based on her lines in the show. So he is most likely older. Also Ambessa looks really young so I doubt this is showing Mel.
i love that ambessa, a pregnant woman in this video, can go fight in war... but who lets a pregnant woman fight in a war T^T noxus really said, 'if you want to, then go for it'.
also been loving your videos! :D
Noxians also sent children to the same war so I'm not surprised 😬
Thank you!
The cave where she meets lamb reminds me of Xerses from the 300 sequel ascending from a pool in a cave. Also the inspiriation for that one Dior ad lol

could the triple pointed shield be going further into that noxian theme and resembling the trifarix? Swain(Vision), Kat (Guile), Panth (Might).
The shield maybe though I think it's likely just based on the Medarda's crest! The champions I don't think so

Maybe the skin inverts their roles? With the playable female figure becoming the Wolf and the following male figure become Lamb?
@@twisted35 That's what i was thinking with Ambessa carrying around a lamb figure which is consumed by the wolf heads.
the beach scene with dead noxians remind me of dread harvester art from LoR
Omg random theory, the man Kinu crossed was Master yi, and he whiped them out, Ambessa needs a weapon to kill the Wu yu :O
