Honestly, either LeBlanc is really ice or she isn’t THAT powerful, yeah still very powerful but seeing how she hasn’t killed Vladimir, even when he was weak means she is either too weak to destroy him or he is too strong for her
@@otako8255 I mean he have the Darkin blood magic, if he have blood/flesh to build/work he can reforge himself always , only the void or the Black Mist can kill Vladimir, cuz void brings oblivion or in another words erase your existence and the Mist will consume your soul. LB is mysterious and i think she see Vlad as a good ally. PS: Mention to Global runes, and Aatrox sword, they can kill Vlad too.
@@Yuanfang777 well yes and no, how do you think other Darkin died to each other, they can still die, Vladimir is still part human meaning if you shot him in the head he would die, if I went to Aatrox back when he was still a mortal Darkin and sliced his head off he is dead. He isn’t just blood, he is still mortal
@@otako8255 It wasn't all Darkin who practiced blood magic, and if you notice only the Darkin who practiced it like Aatrox, Varus, Rhaast were sealed, because they were too strong, as long as there was flesh and blood they would use to heal themselves, so I believe that only Void, the Black Mist, and things like other ascendants because they were forged by celestial magic, and runes can kill Vlad. Only Vlad's mind is mortal, so he asks to paint portraits of him at different times so that he doesn't forget.
Someone probably already thought about this, but Leblanc's crown might be a way to prevent the same mind control she does to others. That's why there are more cards with a similar artifact, so that they can both communicate with her and prevent a mind control magic
I suddenly had a thought. What will happen if the Watchers finally break through right as Mordekasier is at full power? I wanna see a huge Metal Man blasting metal in the background while brawling with a mega Watcher in the middle of a blizzard.

I just noticed the absolute genius of her two splasharts and im just amazed at Riot's art team : In her level one splash we see LeBlanc in the middle of a round table in what looks to be a political debate of some sort, with a Black Rose sigil engraved on the table, surrounded by other people debating, LeBlanc is looking confidently into us as if she's in absolute control of this debate, In her level two splash we get to see the twist, it shows the reflection on that same round table, judging by the same rose symbol, and here we can see the genius of the art team, those people that we thought were normal political figures were actually Leblanc's clones, which she uses to deceive the political landscape of Runeterra, hence her title : The Deceiver.
In an old lore entry about "the black rose" it says "The magician goes down the stairs behind the secret door in the immortal bastion. He is in a large room with many other people who are all veiled. [...] They stand in a circle and Leblanc steps in the middle. She selects a person from the circle and calls them over. Leblanc hands the young (female) magician her scepter and her diadem. The moment her diadem is removed, the skin of Leblanc transforms into that of an old woman. The young magician puts on the diadem and takes the zephter in her hand and her face changes into that of Leblanc. The old woman says to her 'The black rose blooms once more' and then she dies. " I love this story. orginally its 3 Pages long but this is the tl:dr
So rather, there's the idea of Leblanc that passes from person to person. She may not be a single individual but rather the manifestation of entity in the jeweled headband?
@@alkaliaurange the lore is discontinued, but basically yes. With the power of the headdress she "possessed" the most dedicated person, and made them the matron. They'd remain youthful and look like leblanc, even if the physical were old and ugly
Considering that Kiharhi the Returned (can't remember properly the name, sorry) carried some anti-mage weapon (sort of like Kassadin) I feel we might get Void as the next region. I certainly am waiting for it and maybe Ixtal next. Rengar vs Kha'Zix please (thinking in a level 3 sinergy already with them)
I like how the Black Rose is supposed to be secretive & untraceable... Yet use items representing the Black Rose & wear emblems of the Black Rose out in public
Sometimes a sigil can pass by because no one know it. Also this is largely a pre-electricity world (even though Noxus has a real opportunity to upgrade their forces with tech from Piltover and Zaun) so communication is harder.
WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! Let me get this perfectly straight: You comment something that is completely unrelated to the fact that I have two HAZARDOUSLY HOT girlfriends?

Black Rose Spy: "Of two golden crowns, one bears tarnish." LeBlanc: "And now we wait." What about this voice line? This is probably talking about both Jarvans.
2 years after and reading the Katarina comic, yes. Also it was Marcus who should be there, but he passed onto Katarina for her to die. But Katarina turned to be alive after killing the Demacian King. Also Du Couteau has relations to the Black Rose.
8:30 the woman with the facepaint in the Black Rose Spy card art resembles Liandry’s mask the mask is teased to be a relic from the Shadow Isles, a place that the Black Rose has sent people to to get powerful artifacts (see Elise), so maybe she’s wearing the mask? or an imitation of it?
There is also another interaction with the Black Rose Spy which is: Black Rose Spy: "Of two golden crowns, one bears tarnish." LeBlanc: "And now we wait."
@@shockst4in If its the Jarvans, who's the tarnished one? Why? And if A. Sol who has the other crown and same question with the tarnish. Ugh so many questions. Jarvan's lore was the one I was pretty excited about too
I feel like there is a possibility of LeBlanc being a fallen ascended, or Targonion or something of the sort. Kinda like Pantheon (maybe...?) and she is trying to appeal to the thing that gave her her powers or something like that
i think there is a chance that this is true, ascended werent always about physical prowess, some of the ascended who didnt appear when the aspect of change caused most of them to turn into darkins, could have somehow escaped or hid themselves. This also supports the interaction with vladimir and her surviving this long. It would be really cool if lb happens to be rhaasts subordinate from the past, the one that was described as some1 with scales(pic of shurima) just maybe. What you wrote though is very probable imo.
if she was targonion or shuriman she wouldnt be worried about morde. the watchers/void are a way bigger issue to worry about so she would focus all her spy shit on that
5:34 wouldn't it also mean they likely use the same technique to stay 'alive' for centuries? If my memory serves me right lissandra is immortal because she can insert her consciousness in somebody. And since LeBlanc can possess people she most likely does the same thing.
@@user-mf8nu5qe5f but that's all we know, we don't have an origin of his ascent to the level of demon he is now (unlike Evelyn who has her story clear and cut)
You have some really interesting and intellligent interpretations in this video regarding the symbolisms of the cards, well done and your work is greatly appreciated!
well, he does use the Mist to travel between Runeterra and death itself. As far as I know, he is the only spirit that can do this without being trapped within the Mist.
if she is "playing 8d chess" since she manipulates everyone and everything what is Mordekaiser playing ? since he essentially predicted his own betrayal by her hand and made it part of his grand design ?
Jinn tries to be all mysterious, but the lore hounds have his info. And let's not forget, he got caught. Leblanc is running all sorts of politicking and covert actions. Jinn is just a serial killer with nice toys. One of these things requires a lot more work to remain mysterious.
The setting for the card at 8:48 is almost definitely Noxus. It's likely that they have hideouts all over Runeterra, but the man in the back looks way too much like Swain for it to not be him, which would lead me to believe it's in Noxus. With Swain trying to take down the black rose, I'm surprised his presence at one of their hideouts wasn't mentioned... then again, this is about LeBlanc. o.o
Or LeBlanc recruited the poor guy with promises of power, but really only needed someone to serve as sacrifice to Vilemaw, so Elise would bring her some necromantic artifacts from the Shadow Isles in exchange.
Leblanc does give Elise sacrifices to keep herself youthful though, that’s their entire pact, Elise brings powerful artifacts and knowledge from the Shadow Isles, and Leblanc gives Elise sacrifices to retain her beauty
Leblanc helping the Mage Seekers makes a fair bit of sense. They're either corrupt or incompetent enough to either miss her magic or not care, they divide Demacia, and they limit the level of firepower Demacia could bring to bear. They think they're protecting Demacia, but really they're just weakening it, so they'll happily advance Noxus' expansion without realizing it.
LeBlanc: "I am the only thing standing between Noxus and Mordekaiser" Swain: "I'll help you get rid of him if you want" LeBlanc: "No fuck you I want to play 8-D chess and be a cult. This is the most rational solution to this issue."
I think it’s funny that she is probably powerless against morde. Her one plan (that we know about) was a glorified magnet. I can’t wait until (they might not but, oh well) he returns.
I really hope that LeBlanc doesnt get her powers from a demon or something, i think that ruins the coolest part of her (atleast for me). wich is that she manipulated everyone to get more and more artifacts and power to eventually conrtol the entirety of noxus without them even knowing it. if the reason she could do that was because of a demon i think it ruins her quite a bit :(
Leblanc is a demon that represent the obsession, in this case for power, she planned the IONIA invasion so she can get the artifacts like riven sword that was crafted by her, in one of the lores a smoke with a smell of rooted roses talk to a blacksmith, that person was leblanc, she is everywhere and she is everyone, there is no Leblanc in a person, she is many, she is a demon that creates versions of herself and she can defeat pretty much 95% of the characters of the game since she knows how to manipulate their traumas or she can just use the magic items she stole... for example lissandra, one of the strongest characters in lore, Leblanc could use lissandras past and her sisters or the watchers to defeat her by recreating her traumas , she is older than swains demon she could have killed him if she wanted too, the “guard” that is defending swain by keeping a eye on the black rose is nothing more nothing else but a Leblanc clone so
About Thorn Rose, I was also thinking a lot about her look, in relation to the other Minotaurs, and until "it made sense" that she was different from them, because the others are Gladiators and she is more like a Spy/Assassin (Even though Exuberant horns, must be more discreet than a 2 meter Taurus wider than a car), although her Horns remind me more of an Antelope and/or with the Followers of Soraka. Besides that there is a line from her that leaves me in doubt, she talks about "Masks make things easier", would it be that her Appearance in Art is a Disguise, or does she appear to have a Different Visual, when others look at her. But what makes me think that she is a Minotaur really, is that the other Minotaurs (who until then only appeared in Noxus), has Stun effects, is that something "particular to their race", will it be that in the future Alistar comes he must have something with stun also to connect this idea more. And about the guy caught by the Spiders, being with Black Rose's Symbol, makes me think that LB and the people of Black Rose really make "proposals" to others to join their Group, just to be Food/Offerings and Puppets of the LB at the end.
I don't think LeBlanc possesses people but rather marks them and takes their memories. LeBlanc in her story talks about how one of her mirror images is looking tired and she needed to "fix them later." And in one of her interactions when the enemy summons another LeBlanc she says "another clone gone rogue". Now I think this is important is because Swain's demon let's him steal a soul fragment and take all their secrets. However, because LeBlanc's clones don't have a soul and are just magical constructs Swain most likely can't learn anything from them. So basically you have a LeBlanc mirror image who can pretend to be a noble with the mind of The Deciever that can't have secrets gleaned from taking positions in Noxian politics and this adds an extra layer to the battle of wits Swain and LeBlanc are having
About the mimic spell: Also interesting that the Solari see the Moon's light as "Fake Light" perhaps, as a mimic of the sun's light. Also the inner Moon has two slits in it. At first it reminded me of Diana's hair tie things, but i don't think that is it (she has three of them, not two).
I would argue that Rammus is more mysterious than Leblanc: we know nothing about his goals or ambitions he is known only in legend and he is only seen by those who he wants to see him.
Do we know why Leblanc can live for such a long time? Maybe the artifacts she collected help with that? It's also possible that she is extremely old but uses an illusion to look young (quote from her: the best lies are beautiful)
Leblanc is everything, Leblanc is the fridge you stare post midnight looking for something interesting to eat Leblanc is your loyal dog who makes you company, at all times. Leblanc is that bird that always sings on the tiles of the Roof Leblanc is the people who share their lives with you Leblanc is the person you trust the most Leblanc are your clothes that embrace your body Leblanc are your Thoughts Leblanc is Everyone thoughts, Everyone thinks of Leblanc We are Leblanc, Leblanc, is us
not all minotaurs are ripped and huge they have some art of some more reasonably proportioned ones I believe. but definitely weird. maybe its a disguise?
I hope so! Either way, since the males are portrayed as much, much bigger and taller than humans, so should the females. Otherwise they'd get crushed...
well, there's a thing called sexual dimorphism... where males can look radically different from females. Real-life sexual dimorphism is even more extreme than what we often see in fantasy.
Beginning to wonder if the mist is really working for Viego, or if the mist was caused by the ruination because it opened a rift to the realm beyond allowing the souls which Morde said the world beyond "Instead, Sahn-Uzal stood in an empty, gray wasteland, shrouded by ethereal fog and plagued by discordant whispers. Occasionally, other lost souls drifted nearby-little more than ghostly shapes, wandering their own personal oblivion." This fog in Morde's bio seems like the mist which engulfed the shadow isles, the souls likely gained some power to manifest from the fog because of both the spell Viego tried to use and the artifacts that were sealed on the isles. The stronger entities that have a idea of self were alive at the beginning of the ruination, much like "His will, tempered by rage and torment, held him together. Over time, the unknowable, disembodied whispering in that place crystalized into words he could almost comprehend-this, he learned, was Ochnun, a profane tongue unspoken by any among the living. Slowly, a deceitful plan began to form in what was left of Sahn-Uzal’s mind. He began to whisper temptations across the veil between realms, promising his indomitable strength to any who dared listen." in Morde's bio this mention of a a strong will or a singular drive allowing those that have died not to be consumed by the mist, but to still hear the voices in it gradually grinding away at their sanity and eventually them fading into it. It is likely that Morde can influence Viego and other shadow isle denizens by using his connection to the fog to slowly manipulate them into helping him return. The fog and the mist are likely one and the same and Morde has molded the other realm even being able craft souls into objects or prevent souls from fading, although these souls then become bound to him, there are way to many similarities between Viego's power over the mist and Morde's ability over the other worlds fog and both their control over spirits
Its always possible that Thorn of the Rose might be on a mission to not eliminate a certain target (which would explain why in censored version they didn't hesitate to show that the person is alive) but to rather place a gem on them (the ring) which would then allow LeBlanc to control or influence them.
Now do other cards like Swain, Soraka, Viktor, Zoe or any other expansion cards that add later please? It's been a years now and we haven't got any videos about them.
@@Poketom-ob1dl Thank you for explanation. To be honest he should have address that for a long time now so some people will not be left hanging and wondering if the videos will come out.
That may be a half-breed of a minotaur and a Vastaya, cause look at how long the tail is and not to mention IT HAS A TAIL. Seeing as it is possible for there to be half-breeds. And besides, Riot already said that it isn't a generic Female Minotaur, there will be other variations.
That and it would be kinda counterproductive for an order of spies and people with political power to have a member of hulking proportions to attract unwanted attention...
I love how leblanc is one of the most influential beings on runeterra, she may even be Runeterra’s antagonist as a whole they can tell me she manipulated every major event in history and I will believe it
wait idk if you've already said this but there's an interaction between Nocturne and Trundle where Nocturne says Lissandra is going to kill all of you...
@@sagecho4510 Plus I'm not certain how beneficial would that be for her. I mean I guess she could like use their souls or magic power like she did with the yetis or she could try to erase the knowledge of their gods cause I think erasing old knowledge is part of her goals but all in all I'd say the trolls would be way more beneficial for her if they're on her side.

I see, a fellow Mordekaiser enthusiast!
And LB thinks a 16 year old girl with blonde hair will defeat the Lord of Death just because she can bend Metal HAHAHA.
@@Yuanfang777 because she can bend metal. I mean what's not ringing?
Riot: How do we move the plot?! We're running out of ideas!
LeBlanc existing:
Riot: *YES!*
here because of arcane season 2 who else... wanted to compare and contrast what he was cookin lol
Love the longer videos
yo, i though the bloody business card is the garens uncle that leblanc was posessing, idk why, it just clicks in my head the time i saw it
Necrit: ''LeBlanc is, by far, the most mysterious character''
Me, a Jhin main: ''I'll give you to the count of... *FOUR*
Jinn tries to be all mysterious, but the lore hounds have his info. And let's not forget, he got caught. Leblanc is running all sorts of politicking and covert actions. Jinn is just a serial killer with nice toys. One of these things requires a lot more work to remain mysterious.
@@bthsr7113 yeah while he act mysterious funny enough he probally one of the character we know a lot of.
What is mysterious about jhin? I guess the mask is one thing but that's it
Rammus is more mysterius. Fight me
Oke

Nice video btw :p
The setting for the card at 8:48 is almost definitely Noxus. It's likely that they have hideouts all over Runeterra, but the man in the back looks way too much like Swain for it to not be him, which would lead me to believe it's in Noxus. With Swain trying to take down the black rose, I'm surprised his presence at one of their hideouts wasn't mentioned... then again, this is about LeBlanc. o.o
13:43 this likely means that Elise is not with the black rose at all, if she’s preying on one of their members
Or LeBlanc recruited the poor guy with promises of power, but really only needed someone to serve as sacrifice to Vilemaw, so Elise would bring her some necromantic artifacts from the Shadow Isles in exchange.
Or leblanc wants to dispose him as well
Leblanc does give Elise sacrifices to keep herself youthful though, that’s their entire pact, Elise brings powerful artifacts and knowledge from the Shadow Isles, and Leblanc gives Elise sacrifices to retain her beauty
@@Dark_Lunari Pretty much, as far as I can tell, Leblanc might have people on his cabal there are no use for, so she give them to elise
Leblanc helping the Mage Seekers makes a fair bit of sense. They're either corrupt or incompetent enough to either miss her magic or not care, they divide Demacia, and they limit the level of firepower Demacia could bring to bear. They think they're protecting Demacia, but really they're just weakening it, so they'll happily advance Noxus' expansion without realizing it.
Maybe it's not important, but I noticed Samira has another red gemstone on their sword, the same type LeBlanc's crown and on their belt
LeBlanc: "I am the only thing standing between Noxus and Mordekaiser"
Swain: "I'll help you get rid of him if you want"
LeBlanc: "No fuck you I want to play 8-D chess and be a cult. This is the most rational solution to this issue."
I think it’s funny that she is probably powerless against morde. Her one plan (that we know about) was a glorified magnet. I can’t wait until (they might not but, oh well) he returns.
I really hope that LeBlanc doesnt get her powers from a demon or something, i think that ruins the coolest part of her (atleast for me). wich is that she manipulated everyone to get more and more artifacts and power to eventually conrtol the entirety of noxus without them even knowing it. if the reason she could do that was because of a demon i think it ruins her quite a bit :(
She's probably just a powerful magic user, on Vladimir's level.
Leblanc is a demon that represent the obsession, in this case for power, she planned the IONIA invasion so she can get the artifacts like riven sword that was crafted by her, in one of the lores a smoke with a smell of rooted roses talk to a blacksmith, that person was leblanc, she is everywhere and she is everyone, there is no Leblanc in a person, she is many, she is a demon that creates versions of herself and she can defeat pretty much 95% of the characters of the game since she knows how to manipulate their traumas or she can just use the magic items she stole... for example lissandra, one of the strongest characters in lore, Leblanc could use lissandras past and her sisters or the watchers to defeat her by recreating her traumas , she is older than swains demon she could have killed him if she wanted too, the “guard” that is defending swain by keeping a eye on the black rose is nothing more nothing else but a Leblanc clone so
11:40 honestly this one seems to stretch it it's just a red jewel in Noxus it's litteraly their color scheme.
9:42
Maybe the spy is saying that the black rose has successfully infiltrated Azir's new empire
I don't mind long videos - always some more things to learn at once :)
About Thorn Rose, I was also thinking a lot about her look, in relation to the other Minotaurs, and until "it made sense" that she was different from them, because the others are Gladiators and she is more like a Spy/Assassin (Even though Exuberant horns, must be more discreet than a 2 meter Taurus wider than a car), although her Horns remind me more of an Antelope and/or with the Followers of Soraka. Besides that there is a line from her that leaves me in doubt, she talks about "Masks make things easier", would it be that her Appearance in Art is a Disguise, or does she appear to have a Different Visual, when others look at her. But what makes me think that she is a Minotaur really, is that the other Minotaurs (who until then only appeared in Noxus), has Stun effects, is that something "particular to their race", will it be that in the future Alistar comes he must have something with stun also to connect this idea more.
And about the guy caught by the Spiders, being with Black Rose's Symbol, makes me think that LB and the people of Black Rose really make "proposals" to others to join their Group, just to be Food/Offerings and Puppets of the LB at the end.
I don't think LeBlanc possesses people but rather marks them and takes their memories. LeBlanc in her story talks about how one of her mirror images is looking tired and she needed to "fix them later." And in one of her interactions when the enemy summons another LeBlanc she says "another clone gone rogue".
Now I think this is important is because Swain's demon let's him steal a soul fragment and take all their secrets. However, because LeBlanc's clones don't have a soul and are just magical constructs Swain most likely can't learn anything from them. So basically you have a LeBlanc mirror image who can pretend to be a noble with the mind of The Deciever that can't have secrets gleaned from taking positions in Noxian politics and this adds an extra layer to the battle of wits Swain and LeBlanc are having
I'd like to eventually learn more about leblancs source of power, or maybe more about how much/little lower ranked members know about her
Something like Lux and Amir. She was simply born with magic.
About the mimic spell: Also interesting that the Solari see the Moon's light as "Fake Light" perhaps, as a mimic of the sun's light. Also the inner Moon has two slits in it. At first it reminded me of Diana's hair tie things, but i don't think that is it (she has three of them, not two).
"the most mysterious character in runeterra"
*laughs in Shaco*
I would argue that Rammus is more mysterious than Leblanc: we know nothing about his goals or ambitions he is known only in legend and he is only seen by those who he wants to see him.
Ok.
"Even though I might be reading too much into everything, it MIGHT just be me reading too much into everything." - Necrit.
Watching this after arcane act 1
Do we know why Leblanc can live for such a long time?
Maybe the artifacts she collected help with that?
It's also possible that she is extremely old but uses an illusion to look young (quote from her: the best lies are beautiful)
@Necrit In Thorns of a rose the guy has a mask ate the left side of his face
Leblanc is everything, Leblanc is the fridge you stare post midnight looking for something interesting to eat
Leblanc is your loyal dog who makes you company, at all times.
Leblanc is that bird that always sings on the tiles of the Roof
Leblanc is the people who share their lives with you
Leblanc is the person you trust the most
Leblanc are your clothes that embrace your body
Leblanc are your Thoughts
Leblanc is Everyone thoughts, Everyone thinks of Leblanc
We are Leblanc, Leblanc, is us
imagine LB is a rogue celestial, come on riot make with the animated series already
I know nothing about Leblanc so I'm looking forward to this
Female minitours must have really tiny organs creating space for something else
Lol
given the collar on the masked guy in the black rose shot, he's definitely a mage seeker which is TERRIFYing
Maybe the female Minotaur is the product of a Minotaur and human procreating?
I enjoy the longer videos
12:22 you know, maybe the large minotaur males have small parts on them :D
Dare he say, "Reproduction would be... A STRETCH!"
Imagine how many details were given to the illustrators to make lore related cards!
LeBlanc has the gem to rule them all
Another great video, really appreciate the effort you put in
12:03 Don't say Every Time when the "Troll Ravager" exists
The spy from the black rose's background looks a lot like Samira's splashart background
not all minotaurs are ripped and huge they have some art of some more reasonably proportioned ones I believe. but definitely weird. maybe its a disguise?
I hope so! Either way, since the males are portrayed as much, much bigger and taller than humans, so should the females. Otherwise they'd get crushed...
well, there's a thing called sexual dimorphism... where males can look radically different from females. Real-life sexual dimorphism is even more extreme than what we often see in fantasy.
I'm glad that the ruination reckoner confirmed that minotaur might just have diverse body shapes
She’s here, she’s there; who you gonna call? Mimicking friend LeBlanc!
Beginning to wonder if the mist is really working for Viego, or if the mist was caused by the ruination because it opened a rift to the realm beyond allowing the souls which Morde said the world beyond "Instead, Sahn-Uzal stood in an empty, gray wasteland, shrouded by ethereal fog and plagued by discordant whispers. Occasionally, other lost souls drifted nearby-little more than ghostly shapes, wandering their own personal oblivion." This fog in Morde's bio seems like the mist which engulfed the shadow isles, the souls likely gained some power to manifest from the fog because of both the spell Viego tried to use and the artifacts that were sealed on the isles. The stronger entities that have a idea of self were alive at the beginning of the ruination, much like "His will, tempered by rage and torment, held him together. Over time, the unknowable, disembodied whispering in that place crystalized into words he could almost comprehend-this, he learned, was Ochnun, a profane tongue unspoken by any among the living. Slowly, a deceitful plan began to form in what was left of Sahn-Uzal’s mind. He began to whisper temptations across the veil between realms, promising his indomitable strength to any who dared listen." in Morde's bio this mention of a a strong will or a singular drive allowing those that have died not to be consumed by the mist, but to still hear the voices in it gradually grinding away at their sanity and eventually them fading into it. It is likely that Morde can influence Viego and other shadow isle denizens by using his connection to the fog to slowly manipulate them into helping him return. The fog and the mist are likely one and the same and Morde has molded the other realm even being able craft souls into objects or prevent souls from fading, although these souls then become bound to him, there are way to many similarities between Viego's power over the mist and Morde's ability over the other worlds fog and both their control over spirits
9:42 1st thought was Azir or more specifically his empire.
The Black Rose Spy is just LeBlanc in heavy makeup
what if leblanc had a premonition or came from different time and she controls people so all the things will be according to her plans?
Wouldn't be surprised if leblanc just straight up said "Hail Hydra"
Its always possible that Thorn of the Rose might be on a mission to not eliminate a certain target (which would explain why in censored version they didn't hesitate to show that the person is alive) but to rather place a gem on them (the ring) which would then allow LeBlanc to control or influence them.
With each video his accent gets thicker and he grows stronger.
Le Blanc and Lissandra being like Scarlet Witch and Jean Gray of the League Universe
Huh I would say Syndra is more like Scarlet Witch because none of them are mentaly stable and none of them fully understeand their power
Leblanc possessed so much Loki vibes for me.
@@herbertn.oafallas3565 Now that you say that i feel the same way!!!!!!
Necrit : Noxus has the coolest animals
Ionia : Am I a joke to you ?
Yes. Ionia is a joke.
@@Adrian-gl5dr good man
Now do other cards like Swain, Soraka, Viktor, Zoe or any other expansion cards that add later please? It's been a years now and we haven't got any videos about them.
I think he mentioned before that there’s just not enough in the cards themselves, and he’s just too busy to cover them
@@Poketom-ob1dl Where did he said that? Twitter or one of the videos?
@@Mitna_True_Rachnun If I heard it, it was in one of his videos, I think the LoR kindred cards
@@Poketom-ob1dl Thank you for explanation. To be honest he should have address that for a long time now so some people will not be left hanging and wondering if the videos will come out.
That may be a half-breed of a minotaur and a Vastaya, cause look at how long the tail is and not to mention IT HAS A TAIL. Seeing as it is possible for there to be half-breeds. And besides, Riot already said that it isn't a generic Female Minotaur, there will be other variations.
note they have a few skinny male minitour cards, EG. Aurok Glinthorn
That and it would be kinda counterproductive for an order of spies and people with political power to have a member of hulking proportions to attract unwanted attention...
Noxian lore is just so fucking cool: Vladimir, LeBlanc, Swain
I NEED MORE
I love how leblanc is one of the most influential beings on runeterra, she may even be Runeterra’s antagonist as a whole they can tell me she manipulated every major event in history and I will believe it
wait idk if you've already said this but there's an interaction between Nocturne and Trundle where Nocturne says Lissandra is going to kill all of you...
Nocturne is the demon of nightmares so he could be just trying to freak him out.
@@mattiruokomaki2505 That is true
@@sagecho4510 Plus I'm not certain how beneficial would that be for her. I mean I guess she could like use their souls or magic power like she did with the yetis or she could try to erase the knowledge of their gods cause I think erasing old knowledge is part of her goals but all in all I'd say the trolls would be way more beneficial for her if they're on her side.
It points out the watchers will wake up and everyone will die, resulting in an post apocaliptic world
@@dejakiller69 Isn't Lissandra trying to keep the watchers locked up? Also that interaction definitely isn't referring to that.
I had to do exercise that takes exactly 16 minutes to finish and your video came in clutch
I thought that the Thorn of the Rose was wearing a mask.
I think that is the case. I'm 100% sure it is a mask because of the hair the hair makes part of the mask she is wearing.
@@boltzapper6392 But the art of "Whispered Words" shows the same character with their eyes closed.
@@boltzapper6392 I'm pretty sure she's a minotaur _and_ wearing a mask.
