I don't know if you're in the process of watching or already watched Necrit's explanation of The Black Rose, but it's definitely recommended to understand that side of the story.
@@MeeshDeeReacts Apparently this Bite marks 2025 cinematic chapter 1 is one of more than there are chapters in League of Legends so there will be cinematics for it. Necrit is already working on explaination video. Plus we will see a new League comic soon and it seems to me that the Arcane Ambese Chosen of the Wolf book is still available in English.
9:18 ... So they actually confirmed that bot Darius and Trundle are still young in this cinematic .. in the lore he fought in the Freljord when he was on his mid 20's .. that means that he's not one of the big 3 of Noxus yet..
yes this was specifically before swain came into power and leblanc was trying to dismantle the powers at be. she essesntially tricks darius into a suicide mission knowing that no mortal man could stand against the trolls let alone an iceborn. this is part of darius earning his reputation as the might of noxus
@@TheJerbol Most likely but unlike all of the past lore of the league of legends during the coup of Noxus, there was one BIG factor that's new and that's Mel! I wonder how they will meld her into the story line now or if she could even change it completely or slight differences in detail within the same outcome. Either way I am hype for it!
@@AshunPhubu We still have the possibilite that the cinematic is similar to Still Here with diferent timelines so that was the past. I think that's is actually the reality, especially because the rune in the wall at the end looks like something demonic like that image from the "ten kings".
@@zed9579 the last image shown seems like Riven's sword. Since the timeline in the cinematic trailer is about the past, and Darius is in Frejlord, it seems Swain is part of the conquering warband in Ionia trying to bring back Riven as she has the runic sword that belongs to the Black Rose. Remember, that the reason the Black Rose is after Ambessa is because she stole something from the Black Rose which is the powers Mel has now (Chosen of the Wolf).
You girls crack me up so much with your comments...I have been waiting since the trailer was released for your reaction...I love your back and forth and the obvious affection and love you have for each other.
elise has a skin with this design from the cinematic, its her last skin please look at the splash art its so beautiful with the red mask and everything like she ate for the first time
Darius picking up his axe after it was touched by Trundle's TrueIce club is insane. It's like dry ice but infinitely colder. Then he shatters it across the Troll Kings effing jaw!! So badass 🤘
It's not like a masquerade, it is one. Mommy Elise ... Hem, sorry, Lady Elise invited people on Leblanc's directives, Swain infiltrated Katarina in an assassination mission. So far I believe it's all we know, it's the base of the season, Necrit did a couple of videos worth watching for context, the one about the new skins, and the one about the Black Rose.
@@MeeshDeeReactsI just finished watching your reaction video. So happy to see you both hyped up as always when it comes to League stuff. So excited for more of LoL contents. 🫶🏻
The fact that i don't play LoL but recognized every champion 😂 Super pumped to see more of Noxus! Also psyched for Vladimir, his VA is Jason Spisak, who also did Silco for Arcane!
My 10 would be still here too, i would probably give this an 8.5. I really love the focus on lore in this one, still here for me managed to nail the music, the epicness and the lore all in one. There are a few scenes in this that werent quite as much of a wow-factor but it did give us a bit more lore progression and i like that
I think Meesh's reaction is 1,000% fair to be honest. I luckily got to watch this live before work and by the end, there was a lot of people getting the feeling that this cinematic really feels mid at first. It likely is one of Riot's cinematics that get better the more you watch it. (PS: You've seen Trundle animated for just a bit before in 'Ryze: Call of Power'.)
That end scene dagger logo can be Naafiri, dagger with an eye. A darkin. And Darius is probably younger here. (Necrit will make 10 hour video about this i think, we will learn. :D)
@@MeeshDeeReacts That blade also looks like Riven's blade, so that's a possibilty too. Her blade is so powerful and maybe putting a Darkin in a blade like that can be dangerous. That explains Vladimir's "Step too far, even for us" line.(maybe) And also Vladimir's look kinda reminds me Viego. That's probably because they are long distance relatives.
Firstly, we open with an image of a wolf which represents one half of Kindred. This is in reference to Ambessa blood, sweat and Tears because Mel has “The Mark of the chosen/The Mark of the Wolf.” Also the opening starts on the same exact beach that Ambessa survived on, you can look at it shot for shot, I think it is on Rockrund, a beach near noxus. Next part shows Katarina attending a ball dance. For some context, League released some Noxus skins for Ezreal, Renata Glasc (the most powerful chembaron from Zaun), Thresh, and some others. The reasoning is that the “Black Rose” apparently has invited some other strong suitors to a party, hoping to gain their pledge. We don’t see them here (it is to be assumed they all might make teases or appearances in the next series), but Katarina snuck her way into the dance. Katarina is an assassin for Noxus, very skilled. Next we have Darius, a young darius going up against young Trundle, a troll from the Frejlord. Now we technically don’t know if Noxus at this point is attempting to push in Frejlord or if actually the Trolls came too far down on purpose. The Trolls of Frejlord are close with Lissandra who can make ice-borne weapons and true ice weapons. To keep it short, Trundle’s club is not “True” ice, if it was, no mere mortal can actually touch the weapon, they literally die if they touch the weapon. But “Ice-borne” weapons are still very strong weapons, which is why you see the weapon start to freeze Darius' hand and arm. The gate that Mel is walking up to is the opening Arch to Noxus and in the far distance is the home capital, Immortal Bastion. It actually is the largest standing building in all of Runeterra.. Next as Katarina is attempting to kill her target, we see Elise pop out who is a spider. She also got invited to the Noxus ball, presumably protecting someone. If I am correct, Elise is more of a shadow Isle’s champ, but she is part of the Black Rose because Leblanc saved her and she became mutated after being bitten by a Spider-demi god called “Vilemaw.”. At the very end, we officially get to see Leblanc, it is confirmed this is her official VGU (Visual Game Update) and as of right now, lore accatue appearance. Along with Leblanc we get to see Vladamir, he actually used to be human MANY centuries ago, but he magically altered himself, absorbed the power of darkin and has been using blood magic to keep himself young. Vlad and Leblanc established The Black Rose centuries ago and they work from the shadows. There is technically a third person, but we do not know who that is yet. We again hear reference to “opportunity washed up on our shore = Mel” (again showing a wolf because she has the mark of the wolf from Kindred) The calamity they are talking about is the return of Mordekaiser, which the black rose is trying to prevent. To keep it short, basically all of Runeterra does not want the mofo returning and he is actually banished underneath the immortal bastion (Also much of Runeterra doesn’t actually know who he is because when he existed was centuries ago, except for Leblanc and Vlad and any other people part of The Black Rose organization. As per usual, the black are considered “evil”, but in their evil doings, they are trying to prevent a worse event from happening as referenced right above. The very last thing people are Guessing it’s either a reference to Aatrox sword, or Naafiri dagger, both of which are Darkin weapons. Hopefully that breaks everything down for ya lol. On a personal note I am mixed about this trailer. On one hand, it stands amazingly on its own, and it’s basically teasing their next series. Anybody correct if I am wrong, but Riot Games announced that this year, they would be resetting their seasons back to season 1 (thus why it’s called season 1 cinematic) and changing their format, since league came out in 2010, every year is considered 1 season = 1 year, thus they always do a top tier cinematic for launch. (this year would’ve been season 15 cinematic) . But this year, they are going to reset seasons, and “chapters” throughout the season, meaning they were upping their cinematics now to 3 in a year. My point being, I am slightly sad they didn’t do their other animation. I don’t know if Riot Games is just going to go full hard with Fortiche on everything moving forward, but compared to previous season trailers, just a slight let down. But if it wasn’t for comparison, it’s an amazing trailer and if we get two more this year, that would be awesome. They definitely let out a lot of champs people wanted such as Draven, Riven, Rell, Swain, Mordekaiser, Samira, Kled, and some others. I feel like for some very die hard fans of just league, it could start splitting up the player base/fan base, just slightly. I personally end up leaning towards loving this trailer though, I love the freaking music. I don’t think anybody expected to see Trundle or Frejlord and I think once we get into the Noxus show, they are definitely setting up all their puzzle pieces to then expand everywhere else, Shurima, Ionia, Frejlord, Demacia, etc. I also just wanted to point out if people haven’t thought about it, Katarina is a VERY skilled assassin, not only can elise transform into a spider whenever (Idk why she stops, but it’s a trailer) but to take on two arms, plus her spider arms, that takes some mad skill and training. Again I know it’s a trailer, but katarina is really bad ass, just like Darius, embodies much of Noxus willpower, strength, and skill.
I like your reactions because you show awareness that these cinematics come from League and use the utilities that Riot gives you to answer some questions you have.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! You guys are the react channel I can always rely on to know a lot about the world, I really appreciated all the research and hard work you guys put into the reactions! Also Mel's in game release is gonna be so hype!
Girs the quality of your camera is stunning ! Or YOU are stunning! Idk, but I know that the image is clear and beautiful ! Can you guys share with us the reference of your camera please ?
Notice the sword has an eye in the middle. It's Naafiri. LeBlanc wants to ally with the Darkin. Vladimir disagrees because he had a hand in creating the Darkin and if they ever found out, it would be incredibly bad for him.
So glad you reacted to this. It's so good. I dunno if it's on purpose, like an ongoing joke. But Dee has said Freljord a different way every time and freaking love it 🤣 It get's me every damn time. Also Darius just tanking the True Ice like that and not dying shows how much of a beast he is. Love you guys. Can't wait to see that checkmark next to your names sometime this year. You really deserve it.
I personally love that not everyone has the 'wow' factor. Them being more human really makes me more intreagued about their personality and story. Elise looked 10/10 for me yet I still would like to see her just for her looks rather than her story. Vlad on the other hand looked a bit weird but that draws me in way more. I want to see more of him, learn to love him for his story and get more excited about how he looks BECAUSE of who he is. Those characters excite me the most. For example Walter White; in the first episode I was a little dissapointed to have a bald old guy as the main character but as the show went on he blew me away and now I love his looks because they are just so him. Pretty is just a temporary high imo.
I was waiting for your reaction since the MV came out! You guys are on-point and engaged as usual! Darius is at Freljord because Noxus is like the Roman empire - they're trying to conquer Runeterra. If you look at the interactive map on League site, you can see how vast the Noxian Empire is and theyre always expanding. Still Here is my #1 Riot cinematic too. Music is amazing, cinematic is amazing, story is amazing. I dont know if anything will ever come close to Still Here.
Apparently this Bite marks 2025 cinematic chapter 1 is one of more than there are chapters in League of Legends so there will be cinematics for it. Necrit is already working on explaination video. Plus we will see a new League comic soon and it seems to me that the Arcane Ambese Chosen of the Wolf book is still available in English.
11:56 The new dev blog (which is a cool watch to see what is happening with the game and how it ties into arcane and vice versa) did confirm mel is the next champion
Most of them were in the early age here, vladmir, katarina, darius they are in a young stage then the skins and cinematics you saw before. Darius is fighting in the north at one of the early wars they had against Freljord, thats why they look different!!
I agree wih Meesh, as a LOL player this is the first cinematic I don't get goosebumps. It feels more toned down and much less epic than the others. It feels like just a teaser instead of a full cinematic because they keep exploring stuff without actually diving in. The Kata and Elise fight was INSANE tho, the animation was crazy.
btw i just wanted to say for everyone that this is a cinematic for the new league season and not a confirmation on the new series though it may be a sneak peak we are not sure
In the video we see Mel taking her first steps in Noxus after decades and she is standing exactly on the same spot where her mother almost died in the Blood Sweat and Tears video before she was saved by Kindred and Mel got her powers...after that we see Katarina trying to kill someone and is interrupted by Eliese, the fight takes place after the events of Arcane because Katarina is using her Blood Bound Blade's(she got it after she was betrayed by Swain and he almost killed her)...Swain is already the general of Noxus here and 7-8 years must have passed (7 years after he became general Kata got her blood magic-soaked Blades) and the invasion of Ionia has already happened..
Then we see a young Darius fighting against Trundle...this fight takes place before the invasion of Ionia by Noxus...that means that Riot and Fortiche show all the events that happened before Arcane with such cinematics...Riot has already confirmed that they will release 3 cinematics starting with the new LoL seasons...in the new cinematics we will definitely see how Swain comes into power and also loses his arm...
And at the end we see LeBlanc and Vladimir talking about the events of Piltover...I think this scene is a reference to the new show...Riot will explain the ending soon....
Important info on Leblanc, we do not know if this is her real face or not, this is as we know her but being a shapeshifter 1000+ years old mage she could very much be a man or a completely different person and we wouldn't know
11:20 "I wonder why Noxus and the Freljord are fighting?" Noxus is an expansionist colonial empire; you never have to *wonder* why they're fighting, lol
Bro this got me so hyped please tell me this means they'll do season 3 of Arcane 😭. Also I was kind of dissapointed it didn't go into the Noxian Ionian invasion stuff, but I'm not upset at a duel between Noxus and Freilord, and MEL REACHING THE SHORES AFTER ARCANE!!!! (btw Ionia is my favorite region and Yone is my most played and favorite champion and Dee you said you were most exited to see Riven well Riven is VERY involved in the Noxian Ionian invasion so that's a plus for you. And of course yall are crazy about Akali another reason yall would love Ionia. PLEASE FORTICHE DO IONIA 😭)
I have no interest in the game League of Legends, but I love Arcane and look forward to the other shows coming out, so this is a 10/10 for me just for Mel, Leblanc, and Katarina. Katarina better be in the show looking just like that, because 😍😍😍
I'm with Meesh, this is a 7, but after watching reaction vids, it gets lower to 6. it's basically a trailer for the new show, not sure why they considered it the 2025 cinematic. Kinda of a let down. no conclusions in any of the scenerios, you don't even see Elise transform, and Mel can apparantly do anything with her powers, including seeing the future, Darius beating the Ice Troll King in a fist fight and penetrating his true ice club literally made me roll my eyes lol. If this was called 'New show trailer', I'd give it a high score. But to call it the 2025 cinematic, doesn't even compare to any of the other ones except for that one year (IYKYK). Get your Arcane goggles off. The fact that it's in the art style of Arcane doesnt change anything for me. I was expecting to see photo realtistic Unreal 5 type of stuff like what we saw in 'Still Here'. The fact it was in the Arcane style actually lowered the score. I get that maybe riot wanted to capatalize on the Arcane hype and put this together with Fortische instead of paying more money to produce something like 'Still here'.

@@AshunPhubu We still have the possibilite that the cinematic is similar to Still Here with diferent timelines so that was the past. I think that's is actually the reality, especially because the rune in the wall at the end looks like something demonic like that image from the "ten kings".

3:46 LeBlanc drawing Katarina and Elise fighting on the wall
😱🤯😱🤯
She’s drawing every champion right before their appearance in the cinematic.
I like the detail of Mel arriving at the same shore her mother was in the brink of death in the "Blood, Sweat and Tears" Song.
Good catch.
I thought it looked familiar...

We kinda figured months ago though. But I wonder what her role will be? Kinda seems support-ish.

5:09, 13:04 Noxus capital the "Immortal Bastion"
2:39, 13:44 think that wolf LeBlanc drew is supposed to be Mel
LeBlanc animated in the Fortiche art style is all that I could've asked for
THISSSS
darius version you see here is a younger version it takes place in the past . today hes more daddy
Lmaooo he’s just bb daddy here
That end scene dagger logo can be Naafiri, dagger with an eye. A darkin. And Darius is probably younger here. (Necrit will make 10 hour video about this i think, we will learn. :D)
The darkin weaponry entering the chat?! 😮
@@MeeshDeeReacts That blade also looks like Riven's blade, so that's a possibilty too. Her blade is so powerful and maybe putting a Darkin in a blade like that can be dangerous. That explains Vladimir's "Step too far, even for us" line.(maybe) And also Vladimir's look kinda reminds me Viego. That's probably because they are long distance relatives.
Firstly, we open with an image of a wolf which represents one half of Kindred. This is in reference to Ambessa blood, sweat and Tears because Mel has “The Mark of the chosen/The Mark of the Wolf.” Also the opening starts on the same exact beach that Ambessa survived on, you can look at it shot for shot, I think it is on Rockrund, a beach near noxus. Next part shows Katarina attending a ball dance. For some context, League released some Noxus skins for Ezreal, Renata Glasc (the most powerful chembaron from Zaun), Thresh, and some others. The reasoning is that the “Black Rose” apparently has invited some other strong suitors to a party, hoping to gain their pledge. We don’t see them here (it is to be assumed they all might make teases or appearances in the next series), but Katarina snuck her way into the dance. Katarina is an assassin for Noxus, very skilled. Next we have Darius, a young darius going up against young Trundle, a troll from the Frejlord. Now we technically don’t know if Noxus at this point is attempting to push in Frejlord or if actually the Trolls came too far down on purpose. The Trolls of Frejlord are close with Lissandra who can make ice-borne weapons and true ice weapons. To keep it short, Trundle’s club is not “True” ice, if it was, no mere mortal can actually touch the weapon, they literally die if they touch the weapon. But “Ice-borne” weapons are still very strong weapons, which is why you see the weapon start to freeze Darius' hand and arm. The gate that Mel is walking up to is the opening Arch to Noxus and in the far distance is the home capital, Immortal Bastion. It actually is the largest standing building in all of Runeterra.. Next as Katarina is attempting to kill her target, we see Elise pop out who is a spider. She also got invited to the Noxus ball, presumably protecting someone. If I am correct, Elise is more of a shadow Isle’s champ, but she is part of the Black Rose because Leblanc saved her and she became mutated after being bitten by a Spider-demi god called “Vilemaw.”. At the very end, we officially get to see Leblanc, it is confirmed this is her official VGU (Visual Game Update) and as of right now, lore accatue appearance. Along with Leblanc we get to see Vladamir, he actually used to be human MANY centuries ago, but he magically altered himself, absorbed the power of darkin and has been using blood magic to keep himself young. Vlad and Leblanc established The Black Rose centuries ago and they work from the shadows. There is technically a third person, but we do not know who that is yet. We again hear reference to “opportunity washed up on our shore = Mel” (again showing a wolf because she has the mark of the wolf from Kindred) The calamity they are talking about is the return of Mordekaiser, which the black rose is trying to prevent. To keep it short, basically all of Runeterra does not want the mofo returning and he is actually banished underneath the immortal bastion (Also much of Runeterra doesn’t actually know who he is because when he existed was centuries ago, except for Leblanc and Vlad and any other people part of The Black Rose organization. As per usual, the black are considered “evil”, but in their evil doings, they are trying to prevent a worse event from happening as referenced right above. The very last thing people are Guessing it’s either a reference to Aatrox sword, or Naafiri dagger, both of which are Darkin weapons. Hopefully that breaks everything down for ya lol. On a personal note I am mixed about this trailer. On one hand, it stands amazingly on its own, and it’s basically teasing their next series. Anybody correct if I am wrong, but Riot Games announced that this year, they would be resetting their seasons back to season 1 (thus why it’s called season 1 cinematic) and changing their format, since league came out in 2010, every year is considered 1 season = 1 year, thus they always do a top tier cinematic for launch. (this year would’ve been season 15 cinematic) . But this year, they are going to reset seasons, and “chapters” throughout the season, meaning they were upping their cinematics now to 3 in a year. My point being, I am slightly sad they didn’t do their other animation. I don’t know if Riot Games is just going to go full hard with Fortiche on everything moving forward, but compared to previous season trailers, just a slight let down. But if it wasn’t for comparison, it’s an amazing trailer and if we get two more this year, that would be awesome. They definitely let out a lot of champs people wanted such as Draven, Riven, Rell, Swain, Mordekaiser, Samira, Kled, and some others. I feel like for some very die hard fans of just league, it could start splitting up the player base/fan base, just slightly. I personally end up leaning towards loving this trailer though, I love the freaking music. I don’t think anybody expected to see Trundle or Frejlord and I think once we get into the Noxus show, they are definitely setting up all their puzzle pieces to then expand everywhere else, Shurima, Ionia, Frejlord, Demacia, etc. I also just wanted to point out if people haven’t thought about it, Katarina is a VERY skilled assassin, not only can elise transform into a spider whenever (Idk why she stops, but it’s a trailer) but to take on two arms, plus her spider arms, that takes some mad skill and training. Again I know it’s a trailer, but katarina is really bad ass, just like Darius, embodies much of Noxus willpower, strength, and skill.
“We’re no better than men.” 😂
That’s a young Darius and Trundle, by the way. Their fight happened in the past.
I like your reactions because you show awareness that these cinematics come from League and use the utilities that Riot gives you to answer some questions you have.

so much fun seeing the excitement on your faces 👍☺

Notice the sword has an eye in the middle. It's Naafiri. LeBlanc wants to ally with the Darkin. Vladimir disagrees because he had a hand in creating the Darkin and if they ever found out, it would be incredibly bad for him.
Loved this cinematic and now I want to see more champs get the Fortiche treatment!
3:14 always kills me when Dee tries to pronounce Freljord 😂
The Fortiche touch is just *chef’s kiss* 🥹✨
LMAO no other way to say Freljord now 😜
The shot at 12:22 is when Kat got her target mid fight and its *chefs kiss* fight choreo
I love that we see a wolf symbol just before Mel first appears, then again when Vladimir talks about her at the end
Even Leblanc knows Mel is the wolf
So glad you reacted to this. It's so good. I dunno if it's on purpose, like an ongoing joke. But Dee has said Freljord a different way every time and freaking love it 🤣 It get's me every damn time.

For example Walter White; in the first episode I was a little dissapointed to have a bald old guy as the main character but as the show went on he blew me away and now I love his looks because they are just so him. Pretty is just a temporary high imo.
I was waiting for your reaction since the MV came out! You guys are on-point and engaged as usual! Darius is at Freljord because Noxus is like the Roman empire - they're trying to conquer Runeterra. If you look at the interactive map on League site, you can see how vast the Noxian Empire is and theyre always expanding.
Still Here is my #1 Riot cinematic too. Music is amazing, cinematic is amazing, story is amazing. I dont know if anything will ever come close to Still Here.
Yeahhh let's go, thank you for your amazing reaction!
Here we goo!! 🔥🫶🏼
When I saw this trailer after it came out I was just looking all over for your reaction! 😅 So pumped!
Apparently this Bite marks 2025 cinematic chapter 1 is one of more than there are chapters in League of Legends so there will be cinematics for it.
Necrit is already working on explaination video.
Plus we will see a new League comic soon and it seems to me that the Arcane Ambese Chosen of the Wolf book is still available in English.
Y'all might like Necrit's video on the Black Rose. It gives a lot of back story to pretty much everything in the video.
I recommend the Video of Necrit about this Cinematic he goes over all the details and Lore stuff.
Darius looks badass. Kata... well damn ✋🏻😔 The music (especially 3:25) amazing as usual. I love everything about this trailer.
Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT SERIES!!!! Katarina is my fav already ❤
And we just witnessed LeBlanc animated by Fortiche. What else is there to accomplish now...
11:56 The new dev blog (which is a cool watch to see what is happening with the game and how it ties into arcane and vice versa) did confirm mel is the next champion
Love that Darius literally broke his axe on Trundle's face XD
Yeahhh let's go thank you for your amazing reaction ❤❤❤
Most of them were in the early age here, vladmir, katarina, darius they are in a young stage then the skins and cinematics you saw before.
Darius is fighting in the north at one of the early wars they had against Freljord, thats why they look different!!
darius is called the hand of noxus for a reason
I agree wih Meesh, as a LOL player this is the first cinematic I don't get goosebumps. It feels more toned down and much less epic than the others. It feels like just a teaser instead of a full cinematic because they keep exploring stuff without actually diving in. The Kata and Elise fight was INSANE tho, the animation was crazy.
Remember Mel is an empath. I think she feeling the energy of path events
Only after 2 months since Arcane ended, they release this. Riot loves to tease me istg!
that's also the same beach as when Ambessa was pregnant with Mel from Ambessa's music video.
❤ BEST LOL REACTION CHANEL ❤
You are too kind!!! We’re PUMPED! 🫶🏼🔥
Elise got me feeling a kinda way
Big same lol
ive been waiting for my girl elise to show up in a cinematic for so long
When I watched it I almost clicked off when it said League of Legends thinking it was over too lol
for a long busy month finally I can watch you guys now, it's been so looooong since I've watch your last video 😴😴
Red headed cait???? I approve 👌 👏 👍
Wow, you guessed 4 champions and they actually were in it. W
A few days ago I did a pentakill with Katarina, that girl is amazing
I enjoyed your reaction very much. I hope they do a Noxus series next.
Katarina is so beautiful I cannot even
🥹🥹🥹
I really hope they bring darius's lover to the show
I VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
This Cinematic was so god damn good
SOO GOOD 🔥
btw i just wanted to say for everyone that this is a cinematic for the new league season and not a confirmation on the new series though it may be a sneak peak we are not sure
that's young Darius from what ive heard since he doesn't have the full grey streak in his hair
trundle is king of the trolls trying to expand south that's y Darius and him are fighting
That is confirmed to be a younger version of Darius during the Freliord invasion.
YESSS!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa A A A A A A A A
In the video we see Mel taking her first steps in Noxus after decades and she is standing exactly on the same spot where her mother almost died in the Blood Sweat and Tears video before she was saved by Kindred and Mel got her powers...after that we see Katarina trying to kill someone and is interrupted by Eliese, the fight takes place after the events of Arcane because Katarina is using her Blood Bound Blade's(she got it after she was betrayed by Swain and he almost killed her)...Swain is already the general of Noxus here and 7-8 years must have passed (7 years after he became general Kata got her blood magic-soaked Blades) and the invasion of Ionia has already happened..
Then we see a young Darius fighting against Trundle...this fight takes place before the invasion of Ionia by Noxus...that means that Riot and Fortiche show all the events that happened before Arcane with such cinematics...Riot has already confirmed that they will release 3 cinematics starting with the new LoL seasons...in the new cinematics we will definitely see how Swain comes into power and also loses his arm...
And at the end we see LeBlanc and Vladimir talking about the events of Piltover...I think this scene is a reference to the new show...Riot will explain the ending soon....
I think you've seen thrundle in a glimpse in the Ryze cinematic
I was waiting for this
Important info on Leblanc, we do not know if this is her real face or not, this is as we know her but being a shapeshifter 1000+ years old mage she could very much be a man or a completely different person and we wouldn't know
NOXUS!!!!
11:20 "I wonder why Noxus and the Freljord are fighting?"
Noxus is an expansionist colonial empire; you never have to *wonder* why they're fighting, lol
Coming off arcane this trailer is dope af, even if I’m only familiar with Mel 😅 Where/how does one even start with LoL lore 😵💫
BEWARE THE WATCHERS!!!!!!
Heads up! That last icon that Vlad and LeBlanc are talking about very likely represents Riven
Oooo Lfg if that’s the case!!!🔥
Bro this got me so hyped please tell me this means they'll do season 3 of Arcane 😭. Also I was kind of dissapointed it didn't go into the Noxian Ionian invasion stuff, but I'm not upset at a duel between Noxus and Freilord, and MEL REACHING THE SHORES AFTER ARCANE!!!! (btw Ionia is my favorite region and Yone is my most played and favorite champion and Dee you said you were most exited to see Riven well Riven is VERY involved in the Noxian Ionian invasion so that's a plus for you. And of course yall are crazy about Akali another reason yall would love Ionia. PLEASE FORTICHE DO IONIA 😭)
3 of these per year.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Spider champ is elise. Black rose
nice!!!
Bravo.
let's gooooo
🔥🔥🔥
Elise got a BIIIIIIIIIIIG Nerf....(if you know what I'm talking about 😏)
Noxus is the greatest military power on Runeterra. If it falls, what then?
Where is the sound?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ua-cam.com/video/z76xgEYgjt0/v-deo.html (more league of Legends lore)
HNY!!🎊
I have no interest in the game League of Legends, but I love Arcane and look forward to the other shows coming out, so this is a 10/10 for me just for Mel, Leblanc, and Katarina. Katarina better be in the show looking just like that, because 😍😍😍
Commenting for algorithm purposes, but regardless, mommy Katarina 😂
🥹🫡❤️
darius and draven are brothers
The one thing I don't like about one person doing stuff is that it would alway have similarities. Like that's not even darius that's jayce lol
Exactly our thoughts too!
All I'm saying is that they better not paint Noxus as some misunderstood, heroic society. They are domineering a-holes.
I'm with Meesh, this is a 7, but after watching reaction vids, it gets lower to 6. it's basically a trailer for the new show, not sure why they considered it the 2025 cinematic. Kinda of a let down. no conclusions in any of the scenerios, you don't even see Elise transform, and Mel can apparantly do anything with her powers, including seeing the future, Darius beating the Ice Troll King in a fist fight and penetrating his true ice club literally made me roll my eyes lol. If this was called 'New show trailer', I'd give it a high score. But to call it the 2025 cinematic, doesn't even compare to any of the other ones except for that one year (IYKYK). Get your Arcane goggles off. The fact that it's in the art style of Arcane doesnt change anything for me. I was expecting to see photo realtistic Unreal 5 type of stuff like what we saw in 'Still Here'. The fact it was in the Arcane style actually lowered the score. I get that maybe riot wanted to capatalize on the Arcane hype and put this together with Fortische instead of paying more money to produce something like 'Still here'.
Pour one out for Sylo ;-;
Can you girls please react to The Walking Dead series if you haven't watched it yet? I love that show 🤗
We’ve watched that series off-camera actually!
Darius is still a big dude, but for his usual standards he look like a skinny beach
