@@princessthyemisNah, he has those sparks every time he goes back. The steam is from the explosion. Which is bett3r, since Ekko coincidentally showing up at that exact moment would be incredibly contrived.
And we thought she was done with life before. Oh no. Apparently, there's something called depression reoccurrence. The more times you have depressive episodes, the more likely you are to get it again.
@@warcatfurever101writeroffanfic In case you're curious about the numbers, it's 60% chance of reoccurrence after you have one depressive episode, 70% for two, and three or more is 90% reoccurrence. 😢 Our baby's just hit 70%. One more, and she's toaster stroodle. 😭 Edit: Unless she had one when she was younger... Ah, she's fucked.
It really does make me salty that we didn't get the full convo and moments between her and ekko leading up them joining the battle. Whatever he said and did brought the light back to her eyes by the time they joined the fight.
@@Fearr_aXj Judging by the ending, she’s possibly alive. Cait in the ending was checking the pipes where Jinx fell in and saw there’s a possibility she survived through one of the holes, then she looked at Jinx’s old monkey as a hint that she most likely survived. And by the end we see a airplane flying, which indicates Jinx is riding it leaving Piltover, Powder’s first line in episode 1 is that she will ride one of those airplanes one day, and she did by the end. The show ends with her usual color paintings saying “The End” on screen.
@@aoto8897 also judging from the ending, at the explosion you see something purple going out before the explosion, indicating a possibility that she ran away before it exploded
Right,i genuinely don't get why she didn't try to find jinx right away after she literally hinted that she was gonna kill herself,it felt weird that the first thing she do after the prison gate is unlocked is have sex,i was like "really???right now???your sis is going to kill herself and you're getting freaky in the prison???" But i guess she didn't know that jinx was going to kill herself because that's the only logical explanation that i can come up with
I really wished we witnessed the Jinx-Ekko conversation that must have happened after this scene. It must have been one heck of a conversation. Also, observe how Jinx notices Ekko's device after her *fifth attempt* to blow herself up. She sees something that looks familiar to her.
If Ekko grabbed a photo of an alternate universe of Milo, Claggar, and the group all grown up before he left that universe and shown it to Jinx would be give it an interesting reaction. It would give a Back to the Future vibe. Ekko wielding a prototype time stone was quite interesting.
@ kinda sucks they didn’t show more in depth kinda left us speculating what was said afterwards… When ekko saved jinx I’m sure something special at least happened 😭 my boi saved her 5 times
Both the "something new" she is building and the "someone worth building it for" are herself, IMO. It's a new cycle. He is saying it's never too late to build herself into someone she sees as worthwhile.
I was thinking the same she def didnt want Ishas sacrifice to be for nothign but theres a scene that was cut...CRIMINALLY , its shows Ekko telling Jinx about the good version of her and later they work together like they did in another universe and painting eachothers outfits....we absolutelly needed that scene, its criminal that it was cut much ratherwould have watched that instead of that Cait and Vi s*x scene which was totally unappropriate considering what her little sister just told her...normal big sister doesnt act like this , didnt make sense this scen was just pure fanservice that didnt add anything to the story
I do love that you can see the gears turning in Jinx's head when Ekko tells her if he can see if he can convince her to keep her from blowing BOTH of them up. She still wants to die in that moment but the last thing she wants to do is letting someone she cares even a fraction about dying to one of her explosions. So, she tries to limit the chances of him getting hurt by falling off the ledge with the bomb while also preventing him from being able to physically stop her.
@Tonangle Because she didn't even care enough to think about the possibility, she tunneled vision on ending things. Once it was pointed out to her, the chance of her attempt resulting in his harm, she changed tactics slightly.
i love that detail so much and how her finger slowly slides out of the string for the grenade as she realizes, not wanting to hurt ekko more than she already has and just wanted herself to be gone
Been scrolling to see if someone actually made an intellectual explanation about why jinx falls this time after hearing ekko’s concerns about getting blown up: Side quest completed
dawg Ekko has to be the most heroic and clutch character in the entire series. Same level of downfall as kid powder and violet had, but instead of crumbling, he built a sustainable community in Zaun from the ground up and became the leader. Got transported into a reality where everything was perfect and all he had to do was live his life there. Rejected that and went out of his way to come back because his people needed him. Also literally defied changed the future a God wanted, because he's the goat
In Jinx and Vi's defense. Unlike Ekko who had the freedom to do all this Vi was in prison praying for freedom and Jinx was being raised by Silco. Silco made Jinx believe what she was doing was the right thing and that she's strong as Jinx while isolating her. I'm sure if Vi didn't get arrested she would have been helping.
In Vi's defense, she literally got stuck in prison for 6+ years where she was getting physically hurt constantly. And Jinx has mental illness that wasn't treated and went unchecked You cant really compare the 3 so its no wonder Ekko came out more well adjusted
Especially when jinx said that one line back in act 2 “I just can’t seem to die “ Like she’s has been in multiple death scenarios but she still lucky to survive somehow The times she so close to death is when she had a “suicidal like” attempt (like the bridge bomb scene in s1 parallel to this scene) And her sacrifice in the end
@@journey9411 actually it was dark when she first pull the trigger but after a while Ekko try to stop her it was lowkey funny for the fifth time But again , she still pull the trigger after with no hesitation with 4 attempts
2:44 I love how her tears made an backwords "VI". I hope she is still alive. I am the type of person who can't be sure of someone's death until sees the body.
@@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter Yes. Finishing a series with so many doubtful deaths was not a good idea, in my opinion. Even if we're gonna see them in the future shows, it's a very long time and damages this show for the next ones.
@merdufer jinx has to stay alive in order for the game to even make sense or for her to even be a playable character in the game. dont forget the purpose of arcane in the first place
If you know how Ekko's powers works... Thats not actually it... She wont know those... You just have to cut the first part and the last sentence ekko says and thats what happened
@@kalsei1081 Powder's a very smart girl, she might not know what exactly Ekko is doing but she certainly knew something weird was going on. She was looking at the device she obviously built but didn't.
Yeah I definitely think the nuance is in the body language and very subtle facial expressions like the movement her eyebrows and the places on and around Ekko she looks at.
As someone who's been as low as to feel suicidal, this scene just tugged at all the heartstrings. The song, Jinx's melancholy and Ekko doing everything he could to stop her. Absolute masterclass in storytelling.
i lost my brother to sucide so this scene felt hard for me, too. And the fragility of the singer's voice is nearly awfully painful. I'm glad you're still here. Stay strong.
@@elii_arrt for what it's worth, writing down your feelings on things and reading them over when you've vented is a good way to put things into perspective. Time marches forwards and things will get better.
Given that he’s still new to his time jumping powers, I’m kind of surprised that he didn’t say “would you stop doing that already!?” In at least one of those loops
I kinda wish he did get frustrated and just randomly (from Jinx's perspective at least) had this angry outburst at having to see someone he loved die again and again while he stood powerless to stop her. Still, it adds to his constant compassion and selfless nature (especially when it comes to Powder) that he doesn't get angry, but continues to patiently wade through each death to get the outcome he's looking for.
@@callmev3531 i think it also speaks to how powder in the alternative universe inspired him, saying ''you've never been one to give up on anything ekko'' so he couldnt give up on jinx, no matter what she did, making him even less selfless in that moment
@@callmev3531 that would not be different from how Vi tried to convince Jinx time and time again. I think what worked here is that Ekko wants Jinx to live for HER sake, while Vi couldn't bare losing a loved one, so her persuasions did not work for Jinx. Jinx cannot continue living for Vi, she needs to find a way to live for herself, to finally love herself. And Ekko tells her that it is possible...
@@Hamza2_7272 , While he may personally want her to live, he also specifically convinces her to find something new to live for, in this case fighting against Ambessa and helping her sister (which turns from something to live for to something better to die over than her own despair and loneliness, when she is put in a position to sacrifice herself to protect Vi).
Dude left his perfect world and his perfect girl, and the first thing he sees is his childhood friend and crush trying to blow herself up, multiple times. Dude went through so much and still came in clutch at the end. Absolute GOAT Boy Savior.
I’m shocked nobody else is talking about that!! It really shows the sadness and a glimmer of care when ekko shows up! She was a mere second away from pulling the pin, GONE. His voice pulled her out of her head and watching and hoping that what ekko can say would bring her out!
Only noticed until now but the glass shards at 0:56 are shaped like a beast's mouth (Warwick...?). Dunno what to interpret out of it but its still a cool observation!
You honestly gave another hint foreshadowing that Jinx put the grenade in Warwick's mouth, and at the slip second, she shimmered out. She's 100% still alive.
2:43 I wish they had used the end of the song here, where she sings "...go go, don't let me go", as in the song she has a change of heart and is begging for help, and that just fits jinx so much better in this scene after talking to Ekko.
Don't worry Ekko there are already good reasons to think Jinx is still alive : - There is a scene at the end where Cait is looking at hexgate designs and see ventilation ducts, about where Jinx were during the explosion. During this scene, Cait holds the top of Jinx grenade. Why put this scene if she's not alive ? - During the explosion scene, there is a pink trail on top of the rest of the animation (shimmer speed stuff?) - In a scene at the beginning of the first season, powder says she wants to ride a zeppelin one day, and the end scene is on a zeppelin. This scene ends with a "THE END" written in jinx style. - Make also sense she doesn't tell Vi since she wanted to walk away at some point, to end the violence cycle.
Yeah i agree. Im sure 100% is alive it's not a coincidence the last scene. She leave piltover to start a new life and also to break the cycle and offer to her sister a good life with cat. The showrunners said this season it's the end of the 2 sisters. But if there's another series of this univers, it's very possible that we will see jinx noxus or another place it's dépend what place they will make the serie.
I think she is alive. Her hallucination of Silco said that the way to break the cycle is to walk away. That's what she is doing. Kinda sad because I was hoping Vi and Jinx could have an on screen conversation about all that's happened. I like to imagine Ekko was with Jinx on that airship.
He didn't go very willingly lol. I respect the show-writers for having it be that he's initially so deep in his (completely valid) distrust and fear towards Jinx that the first thing he does in the timeline when he's popped into the timeline where he's dating her is... sling a heavy metal object at her head. And I love that in that timeline she's so trusting towards him that after dodging that violent attack her response is a hesitant and genuinely disbelieving "Umm... did you just throw that...?" followed by her casually draping herself on his shoulders like 30 seconds later when saying that "Genius and madness" line to Benzo.
Ekko just witnessed her repeatedly blowing herself up-body parts flying and everything. He had to rewind time again and again, resetting his mind each time, so he could focus on talking to her without the haunting image of Jinx being torn to shreds lingering in his thoughts.
This scene BROKE me. I had to pause and walk away for a minute. I knew since act 4 that Jinx was... done. Then she adopted Isha and I thought there was hope. And then came the end of act five and i knew she was going to be right back in that dark, self-destructive frame of mindset
“Always a dance with you” the look she gives him when he says that just shatters me, although she doesn’t know what he means the look of curiosity and confusion it felt like she recognized what he said which causes her to momentarily stop pulling the pin which makes it hurt more😭😭😭
It could be. But I personally think it’s more likely he seeing it and thinking it was built with her in mind. In the end there’s no way to know these things for sure.
@@ajtcj1356 considering both the phrase ekko said was a thinking of her alternate version, meaning its her own words, AND the look, and ya kow the fact he instantly became toasted like he survived an explosion, Jinx being a genious did connect the dots
has anyone else notice that when she was in jail, they had taken away everything of her accessories? like her neck laces, her white lace that was on her top, her belts, her shoes? just so she can't do anything with them to harm herself?
They did the same when I was institutionalized so I picked up on it pretty quickly, but the details on her belt and shirt even being removed is still such a huge detail. You can really see that she needs help and she was lucky Ekko was there to deliver her some hope.
It’s even better if you listen to the whole song. It starts out with the singer begging her loved one to let her go, but it ends with her begging them to stay, changing the chorus to ‘don’t let me go’
1:19 I just noticed that the first time reversal begins with the word "Grow". This is exactly what Ekko wants to happen with the tree and Zaun - grow. Song: "Nothing can grow." Ekko: "Wait!"
I really love this scene. As someone who has major clinical depression, I’m very glad they actually showed her going through with it multiple times because it shows how sensitive these situations really are. With that being said, Ekko really came through here. His compassion and strength is shown through his persistence, not his words. Anyone can just say a few encouraging words to someone, but he doesn’t give up. He stays by her side when she needed it the most.
I don't think I have ever seen a better representation of depression, grief and guilt in an animation as I've seen in the first few seconds of this Arcane clip. The way Jinx is just lying down, rolling, the expression in her eyes... This scene is heart-wrenching
Ep 7 and 8 just cemented Ekko as such an enjoyable, compelling and interesting character. He truly didn't have much of a purpose in s1, and for most of this season. But man, these two eps really gave him his time to shine, I love how his time travel has its limits, and how he keeps his injuries. I'd honestly love an Ekko show, and his voice actor, chefs kiss, just absolutely knocked it outta the park. Hell every voice actor aced their role.
I disagree about him not having much purpose in S1! He's been my favourite character since then! But I do agree that they gave him a lot MORE this season.
@@essendossev362 Same, he's a character with such a strong sense of justice and heroic. He refused to play by the Topside nor the Under city rules, instead he built his own version of safe haven and tried to rescue as many as possible. I've been drawn to him since the very beginning.
Ekko had a very, very powerful purpose in season 1. Look up the video "This is a PERFECT side character" by schnee. He goes over what Ekko represents in season 1 and it's very significant. Also, he's the one who STOPPED Jinx and failed to kill her, but her attempt at getting him away also mortally wounded her, forcing Silco to give her Shimmer treatment to survive, DIRECTLY leading to the things she does in the last act of Season 1.
Even in her lowest moment Jinx is brilliant. It looks like she slowly working out what Ekkos is doing with each of his reset. Noticing his tattoo is fading, starts bleeding, and change his body position without moving. Even when she swapped to jumping off as to protect him from the blast, I am positive on some level her mind was trying to piece the puzzle together and that is what draws her attention to the z-drive and it's remarkable similarities to her style of engineering.
"Always a dance with you." He's not wrong. In Jinx's lowest points (Wasteland, What Could Have Been), the songs playing are in the same time signature as a waltz
Gotta imagine how fcking weird this was for Ekko after just falling in love with her joyous, lovely self in another universe to watch her commit suicide several times in a row in a completely dissociated and depressed state without even knowing why… And then he saves her from herself only to hear she died later in the fight he convinced her to join.
Isha didn't fail her. In fact, if she had the choice to make that sacrifice again, she would, because she BELIEVED in Jinx. Jinx just needed help in seeing that.
I love the detail of the mark on his face disappearing as he uses the z drive. We only see him use it a few times but that along with his exhaustion possible allusion to the fact that he’s probably rewound that conversation a hell of a lot more. Because it’s Ekko. He has to get it EXACTLY right.
Ekko is the only one that remembers time rewinding, so in Jinx's perspective she would only see 1:51-2:09, then 2:20 and onwards Imagine getting interrupted from your suicide by a person who has saved you 5 times in a span of a minute and you didn't even know it.
the True MVP since s1, even after losing his adoptive father, friends, romantic interest and best friend, his teacher, he still stay true to his call, never led astray 😢. True MVP and A Hero
As someone who has talked multiple close friends out of suicide, this scene resonated with me so well on what it can feel like trying to help someone you care about not make such a decision. It is just so specific with its details of what it feels like, along with how the scene unfolds through the use of Ekko's rewind only heightens the emotions further. It really can feel like sometimes someone just does not care anymore and how painful that can be to see and feel for both parties. It really captures how careful you have to be with your words because it feels like maybe the next thing you might just say could be some kind of encouragement that they've already heard for the 1000th time already which might make someone think "Is this really the best of all there is to offer?" and just end it right there. There is sm more details and little things to the scene I could point out that make it all the more emotional to me but that would require all the more typing and more personal opening up about myself randomly on the internet. Idk why im rambling about this, I just thought this scene was unbelievably well done more than any other kind of depiction of a "suicide attempt" in media that i've seen and I empathized with it so damn much.
wish this version of the song was released. They posted a version but it doesn’t have the harsher snappier production you can hear here at like 0:48 onwards, and the version they posted ends on a more positive note (“don’t let me go”) whereas this song in this scene was just unrelenting in a way i like
I recently saw someone point out that this was the first time Jinx had seen Ekko since their fight on the bridge. In episode 2, she says "It's always me, whether I'm pulling the pin or not, everyone who gets close to me dies." For all she knew, she killed Ekko on the bridge, and she probably thought he was just another hallucination, so she kept pulling the pin until he says, "Maybe talk an old friend out of blowing us up?" Only then was when she realized he was alive, so he tries to spare him by jumping.
considering how calmly Vi was eating Cupcake minutes after talking about how much she loves Powder... while Powder literally just said she gonna commit suicide summarize the last episode
The scene just felt off like wtf they only had that scene to make the shippers fanbase happy but in a normal case vi would have run out as soon as caitlyn opened the door plus jinx lost isha ofc and she doesn't understand what jinx feeling like my guess is vi has no empathy
I get what you mean, them reconciling in such a wild way, may have worked "better" (as a scene) at a different point, but sometimes people do crazy things when under a lot of stress or in a crisis.
We shouldn’t pretend Vi wasn’t in a bad state of mind too, not to the degree that Jinx was, but you certainly shouldn’t dismiss the pain she’s also gone through. She needed something, anything, to make the pain go away for even a second, and I guess love from a cupcake was that thing. When Cait tries telling Vi she found someone in their time apart, Vi says she just doesn’t care, and I think that answer would apply no matter what Cait might have said. She needs this. At least that’s my reading of it.
I'm just now realizing that the music that plays during the opening montage plays in reverse every time ekko resets. my guy is so goated he's able to rewind the goddamn SOUNDTRACK.
This whole ending, the good one, only happens because Viktor gives Jayce the acceleration rune, the one that later Ekko uses to invent his Z-drive, and thus save everyone from reching the same ending that we already saw (the one in Jayce's reality ep 7)
Makes it more depressing if you consider that the "Please let me go" at the end fades into focus because Jinx can hear Isha asking her to move on and live
The look in her eyes when he admits to be in love with her. It's seems like a mix of relief and sadness. Relief because she knows she's not alone and someone still cares. Sadness that things didn't turn out differently.
I can’t be the only one who just has the urge to cry or starts crying whenever you think about Jinx. She’s been through so much: tried to have a redemption arc, tried to have a family, but it’s never enough for the Jinx curse she has. Her only solution is to straight up die in her eyes, and that’s when you always see her at peace.
Crazy when you realize the real jinx is vi since in the alternate timeline everyone was happy when vi was dead since she's dead she wouldn't have made powder turn into jinx.
This is my favorite scene from this serie... The extreme sad song with the fire... And them Ekko, just saving her like the "boy savior"... It's so perfect
Lmao she prolly thought Ekko is a hallucination and since he prolly won't just leave, like every other hallucinations she's had, she thought nah let's just blow everything up and we'll all leave this place

When Ekko said "Someone worth building it for", I think Jinx remembered Isha and decided to live so that her sacrifice would not be in vain 😭
YOU ARE SO RIGHT 😭
Both the "something new" she is building and the "someone worth building it for" are herself, IMO. It's a new cycle. He is saying it's never too late to build herself into someone she sees as worthwhile.
i also think that she wanted to help vi live in a safe piltover cuz she loves her and so vi is "someone worth building it for"
She even built her airship in Isha's image
I was thinking the same she def didnt want Ishas sacrifice to be for nothign but theres a scene that was cut...CRIMINALLY , its shows Ekko telling Jinx about the good version of her and later they work together like they did in another universe and painting eachothers outfits....we absolutelly needed that scene, its criminal that it was cut much ratherwould have watched that instead of that Cait and Vi s*x scene which was totally unappropriate considering what her little sister just told her...normal big sister doesnt act like this , didnt make sense this scen was just pure fanservice that didnt add anything to the story
Jinx: *pulls the pin*
Ekko: *reload save*
I do love that you can see the gears turning in Jinx's head when Ekko tells her if he can see if he can convince her to keep her from blowing BOTH of them up.
She still wants to die in that moment but the last thing she wants to do is letting someone she cares even a fraction about dying to one of her explosions.
So, she tries to limit the chances of him getting hurt by falling off the ledge with the bomb while also preventing him from being able to physically stop her.
Hmm then why did she still blow Ekko up at first?
@Tonangle Because she didn't even care enough to think about the possibility, she tunneled vision on ending things. Once it was pointed out to her, the chance of her attempt resulting in his harm, she changed tactics slightly.
i love that detail so much and how her finger slowly slides out of the string for the grenade as she realizes, not wanting to hurt ekko more than she already has and just wanted herself to be gone
@@set9034 zamn that's deep~
Been scrolling to see if someone actually made an intellectual explanation about why jinx falls this time after hearing ekko’s concerns about getting blown up:
Side quest completed
dawg Ekko has to be the most heroic and clutch character in the entire series. Same level of downfall as kid powder and violet had, but instead of crumbling, he built a sustainable community in Zaun from the ground up and became the leader.
Got transported into a reality where everything was perfect and all he had to do was live his life there. Rejected that and went out of his way to come back because his people needed him. Also literally defied changed the future a God wanted, because he's the goat
In Jinx and Vi's defense. Unlike Ekko who had the freedom to do all this Vi was in prison praying for freedom and Jinx was being raised by Silco. Silco made Jinx believe what she was doing was the right thing and that she's strong as Jinx while isolating her. I'm sure if Vi didn't get arrested she would have been helping.
Wdym with the "the future a God wanted". Is this referring to Janna's and Jinx's relationship?
@@JassLJ True but Powder could have gone with Ekko. She rejected Ekko and choose to stay with Silco.
In Vi's defense, she literally got stuck in prison for 6+ years where she was getting physically hurt constantly. And Jinx has mental illness that wasn't treated and went unchecked
You cant really compare the 3 so its no wonder Ekko came out more well adjusted
@@ingenjannik im referring to Victor, who basically became a god, and he won, until ekko set the Z-drive on overtime
Arcane is a really dark show, but this is probably the darkest moment in the entire series.
Especially when jinx said that one line back in act 2 “I just can’t seem to die “
Like she’s has been in multiple death scenarios but she still lucky to survive somehow
The times she so close to death is when she had a “suicidal like” attempt (like the bridge bomb scene in s1 parallel to this scene)
And her sacrifice in the end
Also when the zaun baroness go full leather face against the piltover guard
@@EllnememeAnd she still didn't die at rhe end
Actually, this is the most comedic moment for me ...But I always did have a dark sense of humor. 🫤
@@journey9411 actually it was dark when she first pull the trigger but after a while Ekko try to stop her it was lowkey funny for the fifth time
But again , she still pull the trigger after with no hesitation with 4 attempts
2:44 I love how her tears made an backwords "VI".
I hope she is still alive. I am the type of person who can't be sure of someone's death until sees the body.
I’m the person who will never believe it without a body
@@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter Yes. Finishing a series with so many doubtful deaths was not a good idea, in my opinion. Even if we're gonna see them in the future shows, it's a very long time and damages this show for the next ones.
It's heavily implied she's alive in the scene of Caitlyn looking at the air vents in the hexgate diagram.
@merdufer jinx has to stay alive in order for the game to even make sense or for her to even be a playable character in the game. dont forget the purpose of arcane in the first place
@@merduferi hope that theory is true i need it to be true omg
The Detail is crazy. After Ekko told her about blowing them up, she falls down Like trying to protect him.
Absolutely! She does not want to harm any more people, she wants to end the circle, by taking herself out of the equation.
good catch!!
You can also see ekko getting damage from the explosions over and over again
"i learnt from someone... very special" my man went through EVERTHING dare i say he got the worst ending?
Viktor could've won, clearly it's only the SECOND worst ending
If you're talking about hiemer he isn't dead yordles don't die they are immortal. They just respawn in bandle city😂
i mean he’s completely alone again but at least he saved the word and he’s alive
@@xxjoebamaxx7782huh?
@@eebbaa5560 He's not alone, Ekko's got the best support group of all the cast. Remember the tree? The fireflies?
it feels like Jinx already realized something weird after that second time, and did the third time just to make sure xD
When you put it like that what if she was messing with him especially with that last one?😂
If you know how Ekko's powers works... Thats not actually it... She wont know those... You just have to cut the first part and the last sentence ekko says and thats what happened
@@kalsei1081 Might've noticed him bleeding though, as well as his device.
@@kalsei1081 Powder's a very smart girl, she might not know what exactly Ekko is doing but she certainly knew something weird was going on.
She was looking at the device she obviously built but didn't.
Yeah I definitely think the nuance is in the body language and very subtle facial expressions like the movement her eyebrows and the places on and around Ekko she looks at.
As someone who's been as low as to feel suicidal, this scene just tugged at all the heartstrings. The song, Jinx's melancholy and Ekko doing everything he could to stop her. Absolute masterclass in storytelling.
I know right..? I wish i could have an Ekko in this world for me...
i lost my brother to sucide so this scene felt hard for me, too. And the fragility of the singer's voice is nearly awfully painful. I'm glad you're still here. Stay strong.
@@elii_arrt for what it's worth, writing down your feelings on things and reading them over when you've vented is a good way to put things into perspective. Time marches forwards and things will get better.
@@VangeistXIII also..thank you 🙂
This is so Relatable omg read my mind.
Given that he’s still new to his time jumping powers, I’m kind of surprised that he didn’t say “would you stop doing that already!?” In at least one of those loops
I kinda wish he did get frustrated and just randomly (from Jinx's perspective at least) had this angry outburst at having to see someone he loved die again and again while he stood powerless to stop her.
Still, it adds to his constant compassion and selfless nature (especially when it comes to Powder) that he doesn't get angry, but continues to patiently wade through each death to get the outcome he's looking for.
@@callmev3531 i think it also speaks to how powder in the alternative universe inspired him, saying ''you've never been one to give up on anything ekko'' so he couldnt give up on jinx, no matter what she did, making him even less selfless in that moment
@@callmev3531 that would not be different from how Vi tried to convince Jinx time and time again. I think what worked here is that Ekko wants Jinx to live for HER sake, while Vi couldn't bare losing a loved one, so her persuasions did not work for Jinx. Jinx cannot continue living for Vi, she needs to find a way to live for herself, to finally love herself. And Ekko tells her that it is possible...
@@TVHead003 Maybe he did? We only see a few attempts here, but who knows how many times he had to run this loop?
@@Hamza2_7272 , While he may personally want her to live, he also specifically convinces her to find something new to live for, in this case fighting against Ambessa and helping her sister (which turns from something to live for to something better to die over than her own despair and loneliness, when she is put in a position to sacrifice herself to protect Vi).
Dude left his perfect world and his perfect girl, and the first thing he sees is his childhood friend and crush trying to blow herself up, multiple times.
Dude went through so much and still came in clutch at the end. Absolute GOAT Boy Savior.

@@lalulali224🤣
The way they animated Jinx's eye movements. So much emotion. Absolutely amazing.
I’m shocked nobody else is talking about that!! It really shows the sadness and a glimmer of care when ekko shows up! She was a mere second away from pulling the pin, GONE. His voice pulled her out of her head and watching and hoping that what ekko can say would bring her out!
Only noticed until now but the glass shards at 0:56 are shaped like a beast's mouth (Warwick...?). Dunno what to interpret out of it but its still a cool observation!
Warwick=vander
You honestly gave another hint foreshadowing that Jinx put the grenade in Warwick's mouth, and at the slip second, she shimmered out. She's 100% still alive.
mikoto pfp and arcane fan?? ily
Damn
@@zachumiii yessss u get it
"Worst she can say is NO"

This is one of the most darkest and grim scenes in Arcane. Wow
This isn’t WoW it’s LoL
@@lazyriver298lol
this comment isn't lol its lmao @vizdrom
*fails romance dialogue option*
*quick load*
Ekko is our true hero in Arcane to save jinx and the world itself.
2:43 I wish they had used the end of the song here, where she sings "...go go, don't let me go", as in the song she has a change of heart and is begging for help, and that just fits jinx so much better in this scene after talking to Ekko.
i think they used the first version because he rescues her from that moment
Exactlyyyy listening to the song I’m always like ‘why didn’t they use this part?’😭
that’s how i feel with the jinx & vi scene
She was still having second thoughts and had yet to have a change of heart so I think this ‘pls let me go’ part of the song still fits.
For anyone who's had to help someone they care about through suicidal ideation, this scene seriously punches you right in the heart.
Ikr it's the worst feeling
Don't worry Ekko there are already good reasons to think Jinx is still alive :
- There is a scene at the end where Cait is looking at hexgate designs and see ventilation ducts, about where Jinx were during the explosion. During this scene, Cait holds the top of Jinx grenade. Why put this scene if she's not alive ?
- During the explosion scene, there is a pink trail on top of the rest of the animation (shimmer speed stuff?)
- In a scene at the beginning of the first season, powder says she wants to ride a zeppelin one day, and the end scene is on a zeppelin. This scene ends with a "THE END" written in jinx style.
- Make also sense she doesn't tell Vi since she wanted to walk away at some point, to end the violence cycle.
arcane ep 1, Jinx want to ride a airship. arcane s2 ep 9, ending with a air ship leaving and the screen do a Jinx glitch.
man your right my friend 😮😮
Yeah i agree. Im sure 100% is alive it's not a coincidence the last scene. She leave piltover to start a new life and also to break the cycle and offer to her sister a good life with cat. The showrunners said this season it's the end of the 2 sisters. But if there's another series of this univers, it's very possible that we will see jinx noxus or another place it's dépend what place they will make the serie.
I think she is alive. Her hallucination of Silco said that the way to break the cycle is to walk away. That's what she is doing. Kinda sad because I was hoping Vi and Jinx could have an on screen conversation about all that's happened. I like to imagine Ekko was with Jinx on that airship.
@@AutumnRose1397 I do hope Ekko went with her, he lost many things and already saved the world- he deserves a happy ending too.
So brutal for Ekko to see Jinx actually blowing up, repeatedly
I like how Ekko went from "Jinx is a lost cause" to trying to save and help Jinx.
He didn't go very willingly lol. I respect the show-writers for having it be that he's initially so deep in his (completely valid) distrust and fear towards Jinx that the first thing he does in the timeline when he's popped into the timeline where he's dating her is... sling a heavy metal object at her head. And I love that in that timeline she's so trusting towards him that after dodging that violent attack her response is a hesitant and genuinely disbelieving "Umm... did you just throw that...?" followed by her casually draping herself on his shoulders like 30 seconds later when saying that "Genius and madness" line to Benzo.
Jinx: keeps trying to blow herself up
Ekko: STOP BLOWING YOUR SELF UP! this time trave stuff is exhausting
Life is strange stopping Kate be like
Lmao literally what I was thinking
bruh exactly, you need to pass those checks lol
@@normy6801😂ok😂😂
😂this comment made me die😂🤣
honestly their whole arc in the final act reminds me of Life is Strange ...🙂
Ekko just witnessed her repeatedly blowing herself up-body parts flying and everything. He had to rewind time again and again, resetting his mind each time, so he could focus on talking to her without the haunting image of Jinx being torn to shreds lingering in his thoughts.
Ekko remembers everything, otherwise his first attempt would be his only attempt, forever
@@guildwarrior3232I think they mean is he has to pretend / act like he didn’t just see it
This scene BROKE me. I had to pause and walk away for a minute. I knew since act 4 that Jinx was... done. Then she adopted Isha and I thought there was hope. And then came the end of act five and i knew she was going to be right back in that dark, self-destructive frame of mindset
“Always a dance with you” the look she gives him when he says that just shatters me, although she doesn’t know what he means the look of curiosity and confusion it felt like she recognized what he said which causes her to momentarily stop pulling the pin which makes it hurt more😭😭😭
2:34 was her glancing down at the Z-drive and seeing the monkeys her realizing that she helped him build it?
“Someone worth building it for”
It could be. But I personally think it’s more likely he seeing it and thinking it was built with her in mind.
In the end there’s no way to know these things for sure.
He was thinking about her when he built it. That was a part of their childhood
@@ajtcj1356 considering both the phrase ekko said was a thinking of her alternate version, meaning its her own words, AND the look, and ya kow the fact he instantly became toasted like he survived an explosion, Jinx being a genious did connect the dots
no way. she has no idea he went to an alternate reality so that would be a crazy leap in logic
Man. To be honest, these two characters for me are the ones who deserved and needed something better in the end.
has anyone else notice that when she was in jail, they had taken away everything of her accessories? like her neck laces, her white lace that was on her top, her belts, her shoes? just so she can't do anything with them to harm herself?
My gosh!!!! I wondered where the laces from her top and everything were. This makes so much sense. Wow :(((
Her metal hair tie as well. That's why her braid is unravel all over the place
@DarkMoon095 well of course that too, that conceals with her laces as well. That's why
They did the same when I was institutionalized so I picked up on it pretty quickly, but the details on her belt and shirt even being removed is still such a huge detail. You can really see that she needs help and she was lucky Ekko was there to deliver her some hope.
@uselesswriting3092 they really said, every little details matter.
This song is so perfect for jinx at this point, she’s lost everything she cared about and is just so tired, just let her rest man, let her go
It’s even better if you listen to the whole song. It starts out with the singer begging her loved one to let her go, but it ends with her begging them to stay, changing the chorus to ‘don’t let me go’
This max caulfield ass scene I’m dying
Fr 😂😂
I love that kid
i was thinking of LiS the whole time lmao
They did this so much better
1:19 I just noticed that the first time reversal begins with the word "Grow". This is exactly what Ekko wants to happen with the tree and Zaun - grow.
Song: "Nothing can grow."
Ekko: "Wait!"
When she realises she’d take him too she jumps 🥲
You can actually feel the despair and emptiness that Jinx feels in this moment. Damn this show is amazing
I really love this scene. As someone who has major clinical depression, I’m very glad they actually showed her going through with it multiple times because it shows how sensitive these situations really are.
With that being said, Ekko really came through here. His compassion and strength is shown through his persistence, not his words. Anyone can just say a few encouraging words to someone, but he doesn’t give up. He stays by her side when she needed it the most.
I don't think I have ever seen a better representation of depression, grief and guilt in an animation as I've seen in the first few seconds of this Arcane clip. The way Jinx is just lying down, rolling, the expression in her eyes... This scene is heart-wrenching
1:49 dang i paused at this moment and you can see her skeleton
HOLY YOU CAN SEE HER BODY RIPPED IN HALF
1:48
Oh snap you can…
The way she doesn’t blow herself up but falls when she realises he is real and not just her mind acting up 😭
Ekko being the thankless backbone of arcane this season
Ep 7 and 8 just cemented Ekko as such an enjoyable, compelling and interesting character.
He truly didn't have much of a purpose in s1, and for most of this season. But man, these two eps really gave him his time to shine, I love how his time travel has its limits, and how he keeps his injuries. I'd honestly love an Ekko show, and his voice actor, chefs kiss, just absolutely knocked it outta the park. Hell every voice actor aced their role.
I disagree about him not having much purpose in S1! He's been my favourite character since then! But I do agree that they gave him a lot MORE this season.
@@essendossev362 Same, he's a character with such a strong sense of justice and heroic. He refused to play by the Topside nor the Under city rules, instead he built his own version of safe haven and tried to rescue as many as possible. I've been drawn to him since the very beginning.
Ekko had a very, very powerful purpose in season 1. Look up the video "This is a PERFECT side character" by schnee. He goes over what Ekko represents in season 1 and it's very significant.
Also, he's the one who STOPPED Jinx and failed to kill her, but her attempt at getting him away also mortally wounded her, forcing Silco to give her Shimmer treatment to survive, DIRECTLY leading to the things she does in the last act of Season 1.
I could be hearing things but was that Ekko shouting "No!" muffled in the music? 1:13
Even in her lowest moment Jinx is brilliant. It looks like she slowly working out what Ekkos is doing with each of his reset. Noticing his tattoo is fading, starts bleeding, and change his body position without moving. Even when she swapped to jumping off as to protect him from the blast, I am positive on some level her mind was trying to piece the puzzle together and that is what draws her attention to the z-drive and it's remarkable similarities to her style of engineering.
Ekko: "Jinx I come to bargain"
" i just want to talk pow....jinx"
"Yeaaaaaaaa try again i caught that"
I like how in one part Jinx realizes Blowing herself up will hurt ekko too so she jumps off
This scene breaks my heart too much😢😢❤❤❤😢
I felt this scene in my heart, poor Jinx. And all the effort that Ekko had to make, it was not easy to achieve and he was also affected.
6 times. she came from the other dimension and escape by the air vent cait zoom in . the airship at the end also let you know she s alive
If you count that as a suicide than you should count other attempts too.
2:15 “Janna has abandoned me, now there is no hope…”
This is why you ALWAYS save and save FREQUENTLY
The little detail of powders monkeys in Ekkos Z Drive....
The split second of blood splatter coming from Jinx gave me chills
"Always a dance with you."
He's not wrong. In Jinx's lowest points (Wasteland, What Could Have Been), the songs playing are in the same time signature as a waltz
When she said "it's too late Ekko".
Yeah... She was some kind waiting for him at some point 😢
Of what confession?
think what got me was it wasnt a reason for herself that kept her going but beeing able to do something for someone she loves
Gotta imagine how fcking weird this was for Ekko after just falling in love with her joyous, lovely self in another universe to watch her commit suicide several times in a row in a completely dissociated and depressed state without even knowing why…
And then he saves her from herself only to hear she died later in the fight he convinced her to join.
Jinx deserved better. Everyone failed her and I hate it (except Ekko)
Isha didn't fail her. In fact, if she had the choice to make that sacrifice again, she would, because she BELIEVED in Jinx. Jinx just needed help in seeing that.
FACTS!!
Only Ekko deserved her....
Nope he tried killing her before
@@freeeggs3811 but he couldn't he stoped.
@@freeeggs3811she kinda failled everyone too first
I love the detail of the mark on his face disappearing as he uses the z drive. We only see him use it a few times but that along with his exhaustion possible allusion to the fact that he’s probably rewound that conversation a hell of a lot more. Because it’s Ekko. He has to get it EXACTLY right.
Oh yeah. Your right.
Ekko: talk an old friend out of blow us both
Jinx: Okay...
* falls*
Ekko is the only one that remembers time rewinding, so in Jinx's perspective she would only see 1:51-2:09, then 2:20 and onwards
Imagine getting interrupted from your suicide by a person who has saved you 5 times in a span of a minute and you didn't even know it.
😳
Ekko: "I just want to talk to you"
Jinx 😐..Nope *pulls pin"
the True MVP since s1, even after losing his adoptive father, friends, romantic interest and best friend, his teacher, he still stay true to his call, never led astray 😢. True MVP and A Hero
As someone who has talked multiple close friends out of suicide, this scene resonated with me so well on what it can feel like trying to help someone you care about not make such a decision. It is just so specific with its details of what it feels like, along with how the scene unfolds through the use of Ekko's rewind only heightens the emotions further. It really can feel like sometimes someone just does not care anymore and how painful that can be to see and feel for both parties. It really captures how careful you have to be with your words because it feels like maybe the next thing you might just say could be some kind of encouragement that they've already heard for the 1000th time already which might make someone think "Is this really the best of all there is to offer?" and just end it right there.
There is sm more details and little things to the scene I could point out that make it all the more emotional to me but that would require all the more typing and more personal opening up about myself randomly on the internet. Idk why im rambling about this, I just thought this scene was unbelievably well done more than any other kind of depiction of a "suicide attempt" in media that i've seen and I empathized with it so damn much.
wish this version of the song was released. They posted a version but it doesn’t have the harsher snappier production you can hear here at like 0:48 onwards, and the version they posted ends on a more positive note (“don’t let me go”) whereas this song in this scene was just unrelenting in a way i like
I think the saddest thing is, how she didnt hesiatate to pull each an every time
The way they went to show you that yes, she WILL do it with just the wrong word.
They say keep your dearst friends close
Keep your enemies closer
You are my greatest enemy..
Meanwhile Vi and Caitlyn are getting freaky in prison
I recently saw someone point out that this was the first time Jinx had seen Ekko since their fight on the bridge. In episode 2, she says "It's always me, whether I'm pulling the pin or not, everyone who gets close to me dies." For all she knew, she killed Ekko on the bridge, and she probably thought he was just another hallucination, so she kept pulling the pin until he says, "Maybe talk an old friend out of blowing us up?" Only then was when she realized he was alive, so he tries to spare him by jumping.
considering how calmly Vi was eating Cupcake minutes after talking about how much she loves Powder... while Powder literally just said she gonna commit suicide summarize the last episode
The scene just felt off like wtf they only had that scene to make the shippers fanbase happy but in a normal case vi would have run out as soon as caitlyn opened the door plus jinx lost isha ofc and she doesn't understand what jinx feeling like my guess is vi has no empathy
I get what you mean, them reconciling in such a wild way, may have worked "better" (as a scene) at a different point, but sometimes people do crazy things when under a lot of stress or in a crisis.
We shouldn’t pretend Vi wasn’t in a bad state of mind too, not to the degree that Jinx was, but you certainly shouldn’t dismiss the pain she’s also gone through. She needed something, anything, to make the pain go away for even a second, and I guess love from a cupcake was that thing. When Cait tries telling Vi she found someone in their time apart, Vi says she just doesn’t care, and I think that answer would apply no matter what Cait might have said. She needs this. At least that’s my reading of it.
"calmly" Lol she was gobbling the icing aggressively
@@kutchiii9481 She ate and ate and ate and ate and ate. Until.
“Oh bother. Empty again, nothing left but the sticky parts.”
I love the little detail that the music in the background also restarts whenever Ekko turns back time
I'm just now realizing that the music that plays during the opening montage plays in reverse every time ekko resets.
my guy is so goated he's able to rewind the goddamn SOUNDTRACK.
it rewinds because jinx herself is listening to the song. you can hear it in the background
This whole ending, the good one, only happens because Viktor gives Jayce the acceleration rune, the one that later Ekko uses to invent his Z-drive, and thus save everyone from reching the same ending that we already saw (the one in Jayce's reality ep 7)
How deeply the characters are written, I'm just shocked. My respect to those who made this masterpiece
beautiful edit , i love the emotions jink is showing 💞
Makes it more depressing if you consider that the "Please let me go" at the end fades into focus because Jinx can hear Isha asking her to move on and live
The look in her eyes when he admits to be in love with her. It's seems like a mix of relief and sadness. Relief because she knows she's not alone and someone still cares. Sadness that things didn't turn out differently.
1:24 her tears say vi
0:56 foreshadowing jinx ending will be with warwick. You can see her face inside of what look like a jaw
That actually a very genius detail!
I can’t be the only one who just has the urge to cry or starts crying whenever you think about Jinx. She’s been through so much: tried to have a redemption arc, tried to have a family, but it’s never enough for the Jinx curse she has. Her only solution is to straight up die in her eyes, and that’s when you always see her at peace.
Crazy when you realize the real jinx is vi since in the alternate timeline everyone was happy when vi was dead since she's dead she wouldn't have made powder turn into jinx.
This is my favorite scene from this serie... The extreme sad song with the fire... And them Ekko, just saving her like the "boy savior"... It's so perfect
I love that she says "get out of here, Ekko" but then immediately pulls the pin, blowing him up without giving him a chance to get out of there lol
Lmao she prolly thought Ekko is a hallucination and since he prolly won't just leave, like every other hallucinations she's had, she thought nah let's just blow everything up and we'll all leave this place
Ekko could escape it in a second in ss1. This is the second time Jinx su** front of Ekko
