The end is here, what an emotional rollercoaster this was. So much tears, so many smiles, so many more…. tears… 😂 I love Arcane, they really did such a phenomenal job. In your opinion, do you think s2 ended with a bang? Which one did you like more, s1 or s2? I think. I enjoyed s1 more but nonetheless s2 was amazing! Thank you for sharing this experience with me. ❤
S2 was probably not as 'perfect' as S1 but i probably love it just as much. Kinda like having to pick between Jinx or Vi... you cant or shouldnt have too
There are three main leaders of Noxus, Mel's mother has very little power in front of them, one of those leaders is the leader of the black rose (what Mel defeated is just a silhouette, an illusion, the real one has never been seen and I doubt that Mel could do something against her) well, one of these three leaders of Noxus managed to make a deal with the demon of secrets, this gave him several powers, including controlling crows, so in the end Noxus managed hex technology
27:58 to answer your question, there is a League Of Legends champion called Swain, he is one of 3 Noxus main rulers. He outsmarted the wise demon Raum and he is now able to control his power as the embodiement of the crow. He was probably interested whats going on in Piltover thats why we see the crow so often, because he can use crows for his for example vision.
Maddie was probably always on the Noxian's side. She's likely who Salo was referring to when they said they're keeping eyes on Cait, she's a junior officer the only one of that station in Caitlyn's squad, and she was the first of the enforcers to start the noxian salute to appoint Caitlyn
Aw girlie, Jinx didn’t die. You see her escape. When the explosion happens, you see a streak of her pink lightning shoot out an away from the blue explosion. When Cait is looking at the map she smiles because she realizes Jinx got away. Then there’s the air ship like you said.
It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana, the potential that Mel could become a new champion, parallel worlds and Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight. And the way Riot Games ended the stories by killing 6 champions is just wow. The new champion Ambesa Metard got extra love from Riot Games and the official IP team. Cinematic Blood sweat and tears, a story on the League website and after Arcane came out the Novel book Arcane Ambesa Chosen of the Wolf. And its ending is great. Heimerdinger finally got a good story, not just some character description on the League website, a preview in the Jinx comic and the lore game Hextech Mayhem. And even though he is a Yordle, so he should return/reborn in Bandle City = Spirit Realm but I don't think that will happen. Jace and Viktor are a big question, because I can't say for sure if they died or if they are ending the "timeloop" paradox of parallel universes (#blue stone with always a different Rune). Warwick is still questionable, because he could possibly return in his more werewolf form from the Cinematics and games. And Jinx = Powder her sacrificial death hit me the deepest in the heart. Her beginning with the Get Jinx Cinematic and her ending in Arcana created by the same French studio Fortiche, it's the greatest love story for art.
Are u stupid? Ah yes she clearly managed to escape after clearly being held by warwick, and there just happens to be more than one light, use ur head lmao
Cait smile is absolutely because of her hearing Vi, the streak of pink lightning could well be a VFX of the explosion which is the exact same color(which i don't think it is, i do think it's Jinx too), that being said, her looking at the vents with her little monkey, and the ship at the end are clear indicators that she's probably alive, but then again doesn't mean much as "Silco" said to her "sometimes is better to walk away" that was her closure she wouldn't be able to live in that society anymore.
The poor guy's been suffering like crazy since literal birth, was dying all throughout the series and still kept trying to ease people's suffering until the very last. And he made the right choice too in the end - and was instrumental in stopping his ascension and getting rid of the hexcore by enabling Ekko and Jayce to have the acceleration rune. He's just an amazing character
Singed told Viktor that the only way to stabilize him was with Warwick's blood, since it has such insane regenerative power. He repeated the same to Ambessa last episode. So just like you said, Viktor merely got that transfusion as we saw during the Twenty One Pilots song, and in return Warwick was given the arcane evolution that all the other bodies got and was turned into living metal. They didn't fuse or transfer bodies. Same reason why he still comes back to life for a bit after Viktor and Jayce teleports away, the regenerative power meant the beast side of Warwick could survive for a few minutes longer. That's also why the metallic Warwick never ever opens his mouth or makes noise, but after Viktor and Jayce leave (they didn't die, it was the Acceleration Rune like Ekko said) he starts snarling and snapping like a wolf again
Jinx is alive and will be in the next series. I know because my grandmother told me on her deathbed. But she wasn't really my grandmother, she was my granddaughter who traveled back in time to save me from jumping off a bridge (thus saving herself) because I too thought Jinx was dead.
Maybe your granddaughter saw what happen if you successfully jump off that bridge. It may cause the extinction of humanity so saving you also saving the world 😢
Something I noticed through reactions and comments which was pretty cool! Viktor mentions that "only you can show me this". Because Viktor was giving different runes to different Jayces, and giving the acceleration rune to this Jayce allowed Ekko to rework Jayces acceleration theory work to create his time travel device which ultimately stopped the apocalypse. Every watch unlocks new info for me, I love it.
If you remember last episode in Season 1 there was a crow too. There were two possibility which is either Swain the grand general of Noxus which where Ambessa came or Fiddlesticks the ancient demon of fear. But after finish the season 2 and the crow appear again. The crows has 3 eyes which confirm Swain has been watching for whole time.
Jinx is alive. You can see her shimmer dash to the side when the explision happens. That's why caitlyn was looking at the vents system on her hexgates schematics. Plus, the blimp at the end is her leaving Piltover. She'll probably cameo on one of Riots' future animation projects.
Riot Games and Arcane's co-creator confirmed they're developing 3 new spinoffs involving Noxus (Swain, the 3-eyed crow, is the main villain), Ionia, and Demacia. Some of the Arcane characters will likely appear.
small correction don't mind me: the crow is called Raum and is one of the few primordial demons in Runeterra, Swain isn't a villain (not more than everyone else in noxus) nor the crow is connected to him here (yet, unless they decide to change important lore which would be a very bad decision, or skip one of the most important events, which would be even worse)
@@8cz124 Yeah but we don't know if it's only Raum or if it's Swain with Raum. Since we don't know how the timeline fits into everything else. The creators mentioned in livestream that everything should work out nicely, so it could be any of them.
@@Nyx__ I mentioned it isn't connected to Swain (or shouldnt be) yet because (spoiler alert) this happens after Noxus invasion of Ionia which involves Singed creating the mass destruction weapon for Noxus, however when we see Raum it's right after the events of s2e9, so unless Singed has been multitasking and theres not a single reference to it in the show, Ionia vs Noxus hasn't even begun and Raum is currently working alone
just think about it as a somewhat subtle sneak peek to whats coming in the next series, not necessarily referencing Swain or any other character but Noxus as a whole
Don't be sad, Jinx is alive! Besides the hint you picked up about Cait checking the vent systems, during the explosion there's a frame where you can see a purple flash moving towards one of the sides, also the last shot of the show is a direct call back to episode 1 of the series where Powder expresses her will to one day ride on one of those airships. Besides this, there's now an "Afterglow" of Arcane on youtube where the team answers some questions, is Jinx dead was one of them and ofc they don't answer specifically but you just look at their reactions ( specially Ella) and you know she's alive, i would go as far as to say she's probably signed a new deal already
@@FlaLovecraft Seems like your reading comprehension or comprehension overall is not that high, that's fine ig, maybe you could work on it or just wait and see because Jinx will 100% return :)
@@FlaLovecraftJust watch the scene where the grenade explodes frame by frame. Maybe you'll notice something unusual. Then watch the last scene where Caitlyn looks at the ventilation system of the tower and the mysterious blimp flying away from Piltover. Maybe you can connect the dots this time.
The crow is heavily imply to be a Noxus character spying the events of Arcane. It's been confirm that the next story will be set in Noxus or related to it. There will be more Arcane related stories after this one but some of these character's plot/arc have concluded here.
Ahhh lovely series and what a way to wrap things up. Its easy to see viktor as the bad guy in all of this since we attach so much to our free will. But always keep in mind he viewed everything as a problem to solve and it wasn't until jayce came in and destroyed his actual attempt at helping people that he went towards forcibly taking away people's free will. And while it doesn't matter that hes doing it for what he thinks is a good cause. The big reveal that it was future viktor really ties it all together. He knew he was wrong and that his way wasn't the way to go. But as episode 7 pointed out, if he just didn't help jayce. They both lose, jayce dies in the cold and viktor succumbs to his disease. As odd as it sounds, this really was the best outcome for them (also they're almost certainly not dead)
Your reaction and emotions are so real, honest and genuine that I am amazed at how you worry about all the characters in this series) good luck to you in developing the channel and more subscribers) upd: Jinx is alive (fans immediately solved all the mysteries associated with her "death") and even the authors themselves hint at this, judging by the last frames in the series)
28:00 One of the top bigshots in Noxus. Someone whose strategic mind, resources, and raw might completely eclipses those of Ambessa. He's going to be a massive factor regardless of whether he becomes ally or enemy to Mel.
Jinx my beloved no questions asked also: I feared two things: League champions having plot armor and Jinx becoming that psycho she is in League. Arcane didn't do either. I really couldn't ask for more. Not a show, but THE show indeed. Fortiche created a masterpiece
A small Q&A just came out and Ella Purnell just answered the question of if Jinx is alive with "we don't know"... She said it in the most "She totally is but I'm not allowed to say it" way.
@@AliAnimusWith my knowledge of Runeterra lore. I'm just overwhelmed by a big mental blow. Episode 9 was cut down from 1 hour.

@@AliAnimusIf you didn't want to play League of Legends on PC. Then you could play League of legends wild rift on mobile its better. Card game Legends of Runeterra where you have even voice lines. Or Riot Forge Canon lore storytelling games like Ekko Covergence; Viego Ruined King; Nunu and Wilump Song of Nunu; Ziggs and Heimerdinger Hextech Mayhem; Sylas Mageseeker; BandleTale
Cait holding a head peice of the grenade tells me its only what they could find. Down there. , no corps , so she went back looking at those maps and show those air ducts. She escaped.
Imagine being Viktor, moments from victory, when some random kid he has never seen before in his life strolls up, gets past all of his defenses, and throws literal time at him.
With the situation of Viktor and Warwick, in episode 6, Singed said that Viktor needed Warwick's blood [who is the apex of Shimmer] but Viktor declined, saying that it would destroy Vander as a person. You can see in episode 8, Vander's memories faded away as Singed gave Viktor his blood and now you see Warwick as a husk
Ekko is the only one who doesn't connect with Viktor. Viktor explained that he only evolves those who desire evolution, those who want better lives. Ekko, however, get a glimpse of a better life, and he sacrifices it to save everyone, demonstrating that he is content with who he is and with everything that has happened in his life.
If you go back to season 1 you will notice ravens are a reoccurring theme after the Noxians arrive. Noxus is a triumvirate, one of it's leaders is known as The Grand General, and he uses ravens to collect intel; he's also most likely Ambessa's superior and the reason she was in Piltover. So I guess the raven is a teaser for the viewer telling us that Jericho knows she failed, and the next story is taking us to Noxus to tie up the Black Rose storyline.
There are quite a few hints towards the end that Jinx is alive - and that she took the opportunity to do what "Silco" talked about.. walking away. One.. the shimmery reddish flash heading away from the explosion - two, Caitlyn examining the ventilation system of the area that Jinx "died" in.. they found the bomb fragments, but not any bodily remains apparently... and finally: in the very first episode Powder said that one day she'd fly in one of those blimp ships.. and a blimp heading away for parts unknown just happens to be the very last shot of the series. Hopefully we'll have that theory validated one day.
I can only agree with you. The producers could have just made it clear whether she was dead or still alive. But by hinting that Jinx is still alive, I think they want to keep the suspense high. I think that Jinx will definitely be seen or will have a supporting role.
Something I haven't seen anyone speculate on is that Cait is holding the head of the monkey bomb. So I assume that someone found this at the site of impact (callback s1e3 ;)) and them not finding Jinx's body prompted Cait to look for schematics.
@@hansim3894 Precisely.. theres nothing in that "outro" that indicatet that they've gotten their hands on any actual remains - body remains, that is.. bomb fragments? Yes. Besides.. theres no way they'd animate that scene of Cait looking at schematics unless it was a prerequisite for something else.. the shows too expensive.
I hope not. The “faked their death and started a new life” trope is lazy and stupid writing. Her dying is a way more emotional and rewarding ending. They wrote this as smartly as they could. Completely ambiguous so those that wanted her to live can have their head canon and those that prefer that death have theirs. If they stay smart, they’ll never confirm one way or another because it keeps this conversation going forever.
The crow is a symbol for Swain the leader of Noxus (another champ in LoL) And Jinx is not dead the purple streak when she uses her powers proves it during the explosion!
one of the saddest scenes to me was when we saw vanders memories vanish, and i knew from that point, when we saw him again, he wouldnt have the tiniest bit of himself left in warwick
I loved your reactions so much, you made me cry a lot even knowing what was about to happen, you're sooooo sweet (like a cupcake!) Thanks for all this videos and for watching Arcane! :)
Viktor makes it very clear that his intentions were never to control the hivemind himself, but to force unity on all living beings at the cost of individuality. That doesn't make him any less wrong, but i think it's an important distinction to remember and one that the show tells us pretty directly. If he was out to control everybody, the ending of this episode wouldn't make any sense, especially the reveal of the old mage's identity. I also don't think we're supposed to take anything positive from Ambessa's last words. If anything, it's proof that while Caitlyn and Mel won the battle, Ambessa won the war. She finally made Mel harsh enough to make the morally wrong calls for her own goals, finally made her into someone with the wrath she said Mel lacked last episode. She's only really acknowledging Mel in that regard, because now there is someone to take over as head of the family who is just as ruthless as Ambessa
The crows are most likely the ravens used by Swain to spy on the world. He lost his arm in a battle, and replaced it with a demon-possessed arm which gives him his powers; the demon's named is Raum.
It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana, the potential that Mel could become a new champion, parallel worlds and Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight. And the way Riot Games ended the stories by killing 6 champions is just wow. The new champion Ambesa Metard got extra love from Riot Games and the official IP team.

I kind of like that the game is completely free from canon in the sense that every champ is plucked out of the timeline without any care for whether they're still alive in the story
I realised that the enforcer who died trying to throw thr "grey" gas grenade, was the father of the undercity family they kept showing in Ep 8. He dies to the crossbow and his dauther and wife are grieving his death, in the ceremony after the battle.
if you look at the that last explosion again... you could see a pink trail... that might've been her shimmer speed moments before the explosion... and she might've run away through the vents that Cait was just looking at...
The crows are sent by General Noxian Swain since he possesses an ancient demon called Raum who is the demon of secrets who sees everything for the crows and these differ from normal crows by having three red eyes, then either it means that Swain observed everything from Noxus or it was Raum not yet being possessed by Swain but at this point and seeing that he always accompanies the Noxians most likely it is Swain and by the way Swain is a very, very important character for the lore of Noxus.
12:00 he didn't consume or fuse with him. He took his blood which contains Shimmer which stabilized him and evolved him into his (glorious) final form. The moment he too Warwick's blood, Vander was dead. And that's why we saw his memories and the image of himself fading. Also if you look closely at around the 42:09 mark when the grenade explodes, you can clearly see the Shimmer dash in the upper part of the explosion. That plus Caitlyn looking at the schematics and the zeppelin is enough to conclude Jinx is alive.
Jinx was my fav character in the entire series, glad she survived and just walked away after faking her death. Now everyone can live their lives without constant chase after Jinx. Cait knows she survived but maybe doesnt want to lose the moment as Vi is here and after learning the truth she would rush to search.
I am surprised how many people thought Jinx actually died given all the foreshadowing she was leaving Piltover & Zaun so Vi can move on and be happy with Cait. ACT II & III were full of quotes telling us Jinx should leave,Walk away,Fill her own cup,too smart to stay in a bar all her life,leave a few things behind to take that leap and move forward. Always with Vi even why she is worlds apart. Then the last two scenes only served to hint Jinx could have survived and sure enough when the creators were asked if Jinx died, they could not keep a straight face,Ella in particular. They are leaving i open. AKA Jinx is Alive and got to ride on an airship like she always wanted to.
I hated how good Ambessa was. She was an unstoppable force. The only thing that took her down was her underestimating her daughter and her apprentice's (Caitlyn) willingness to *sacrifice* for the cause. Sacrifice being Ambessa's aspect of combat and the overall theme of the season. Caitlyn sacrificing an eye to open Ambessa up for Mel to sacrifice her mother to take a hit at the Black Rose. In the end Ambessa did sort of win. She only wanted to defeat the Black Rose and for Mel to realize she had to be the wolf. She literally gets everything she wanted. At the cost of her life. In a sense sacrificing herself for the cause. Absolutely brilliantly written character.
At the last moment, we see a memory of Vander. What could this be for? I assume that Jinx was ready to sacrifice herself. But Vander could not allow this, and so at the last moment he threw her into the ventilation.
Depending on the timeline or if there are any changes etc the Crow is either Raum or Swain. Swain, one of the leaders of Noxus made a deal with the demon of secrets Raum. So we don't know if Swain is in control of that crow yet or if it's just Raum looking for stuff.
The raven is a reference to Jericko Swain, main leader of Noxus. He uses crows to gather information and many crows appear throughout the series. Which means Swain saw everything that happened since season 1.
In the League of Legends universe, which is made up of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra, there are no infinity stones. But different types of magic and Rune = Runeterra. At the very beginning there was only the Void and the Watchers, but then the light appeared and a reality emerged that awakened the Watchers and since then they have been trying to destroy it. In reality, the death of Gray man/Pale man, which later becomes Kindred, two aspects of death, Lamb peaceful death and Wolf brutal death, appeared/originated. In the universe = Celestial Realm, the dragon of Twilight as Aurelion Sol created the stars around which the planets were formed. And later on, celestial beings and gods also began to engage in reality manipulation. The celestial gods created constellations that serve as predictions and guidance for people, and with the help of world runes they created the planet Runeterra in one of the regions, they pulled the mountain Targon out of the earth, which serves as the Gateway to the Celestial realm Targon Prime = "Universe". One of the Celestial Gods, for some unknown reason, later hid the world runes across the Runeters, which over time caused magical radiation, thanks to which Spirit Gods such as Anivia, Ornn, Volibear,... which reshaped the surface of the planet by ghosts, demons, and later created magical beings; Sky giants; Yordles = Heimerdinger from Bandle city which is in spirit realm; Vastayashai'rei (Shapeshifting Spirit race) + Humans = Vastaya Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoids races. Later, the Targionians people together with the help of the celestials created a crown for Aurelion Sol, whom they enslaved and thus became forced to listen to orders from the Celestial aspects to seal/destroy the void rifts with their Celestial fire. Over time, it is clear that various types of magic appeared or arose on Runeterra: Celestial, Spiritual, Shadow, Runic, Elemental, Temporal, Necronatic, Blood,... Runeterra is supposed to serve as a place where super powerful beings of Ascended aspects = Celestial demi-gods are to be created by, for example, a person climbs to the top of the mountain Targon and one of the Celestials chooses him as a suitable guest. Or, with the help of the Sun disk, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors where some failed and The Baccai = Ramus were created and others were Ascended sunborn Nasus, Renekton,... And later the fragments of them were created after the Void battle Darkins. All of this is to serve as a defense shield against the Void and its watchers, who are trying to destroy reality by creating Void rifts through which void born creators and monsters can pass and which devour and destroy. Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.
I have watched all your reactions and love them, Cyberpunk Edgerunners would go perfect with everything you have watched so far and is only 9 episodes like Arcane!
Don't be sad, Jinx is alive and left in the airship that appears at the end, remember what she said in the first episode when she was a child “one day I'm going to fly in one of those” she escaped through the adults that Caitlyn looks at while holding her without a toy bomb. Heimerdinger didn't die :D This raven belongs to General Swan of Noxus, the next series will be about Demacia, Noxus and Ionia.
I think jinx lived. she saved her father from being a slave, living as a monster. she saved VI by setting her free from the past and her family and beginning to live for herself and the future. hopefully, we might see them back together again, someday.
With my knowledge of Runeterra lore. I'm just overwhelmed by a big mental blow. Episode 9 was cut down from 1 hour. Ps Violet and Caitlyn scene in cell was originally longer. 😅 Ps lore master Necrit has on his channel talk with Arcane IP writer after Arcane dernier in L.A. it is interesting. And we know they are working on another series three new are allready in development Ionia, Noxus, Demacia maybe even movies.
I already imagined she was alive because of all the little hints, with afterglow of act 3 that came out today im pretty sure she's alive and will appear in the next show, of course not in a main role but appear somehow. Vander/ww wouldnt die from that bomb either, he didnt die by the isha thing, but seems like now he lost all his memories and there's nothing left
I personally very much think Jinx lived. As you pointed out at the end, the shot lingering on the exact thing that Jinx stated she wanted to some day ride immediately following Cait clearly pondering her potential escape path seems too clear of a bread crumb trail by the writers for it to just be for nothing. Also, it seems like a lot of people maybe don't notice but Jinx is very much not a normal human after Singed brought her back to life; she's effectively warwick's predecessor (ironic, being that she's Vander's daughter). I don't think it's outside of reason whatsoever to say she could manage to survive such a fall if she were to push off of warwick at the last second.
Fyi I'm pretty sure others have told you but jinx is not dead. She escaped in one of the air ducts, that's what caitlyn was looking at so don't be too sad.
I think the only mistake they made this entire series is not putting a slightly more obvious hint for Jinx surviving. I only caught it on my second watch because on my first I was a sobbing mess so barely got any of the hints at the end. I've seen so many reactions now and nearly every one has the same reaction and thinks she's dead to only be told afterwards to check the last scenes again. I do love the idea of doing the hint thing but I think it needed to be ever so slightly more obvious or slightly later after the scene of her dying to let us dry our tears lmao. Absolutely phenomenal series and are very fitting end to this regions stories. I can't wait to see what they do next, and I don't doubt we see at least a little bit of these characters again. I think some day in the future Jinx will reunite with Vi and Ekko but only when she's finally forgiven herself for everything that happened and fully grieved for both her father figures.
nah, that wasnt a mistake, it was intentional. they don't make it clear that she survives so her death/sacrifice can have impact, but leave enough room for speculation that she's alive so it could make sense that she's in future lol content. same case for jayce and viktor. christian linke said they were dead and i think riot made him retract that statement??? haha
@@mikulover493 I know it was intentional, I'm saying having it so quickly after the scene means nearly everyone I've seen missed it. Having the scene 2 minutes later would achieve the goal they had better. It's not about people seeing those scenes and not quite knowing for sure, it's about people completely missing what's happening because of the emotional whiplash. It's hardly a big deal tho.
Note with determination, there is a ship that comes out of Pilltober and there is a possibility that Jinx is there because when I see the explotion bombs of Jinx's tools, there are no bodies and if everything is left behind it is to bring Violet a better life to her . I know I suppose
I need to talk to a psychologist about jinx's pain, i m getting sick! best show ever, nothing beats this! As a matter of fact, Victor was a good character, his war united piltover, he is actually the real MVP!
4 seconds of animation a week per animator. Masterpiece by Christian Linke and Alex Yee who prior to Arcane had 0 production of this scale experience and all other people who worked on this wonderful crafted visual and touching story.
The end is here, what an emotional rollercoaster this was. So much tears, so many smiles, so many more…. tears… 😂 I love Arcane, they really did such a phenomenal job.
In your opinion, do you think s2 ended with a bang? Which one did you like more, s1 or s2? I think. I enjoyed s1 more but nonetheless s2 was amazing!
Thank you for sharing this experience with me. ❤

#JinxLives ❤
S2 was probably not as 'perfect' as S1 but i probably love it just as much. Kinda like having to pick between Jinx or Vi... you cant or shouldnt have too
There are three main leaders of Noxus, Mel's mother has very little power in front of them, one of those leaders is the leader of the black rose (what Mel defeated is just a silhouette, an illusion, the real one has never been seen and I doubt that Mel could do something against her) well, one of these three leaders of Noxus managed to make a deal with the demon of secrets, this gave him several powers, including controlling crows, so in the end Noxus managed hex technology
S2 was so heartbreaking. I wish they hadn't ended it so dramatically. I don't like Ekko being left alone.
I think Arcane is one of the best TV series ever. A masterpiece of animation, storytelling, music & characters. Peak Cinema and Art. 💙
27:58 to answer your question, there is a League Of Legends champion called Swain, he is one of 3 Noxus main rulers.
He outsmarted the wise demon Raum and he is now able to control his power as the embodiement of the crow. He was probably interested whats going on in Piltover thats why we see the crow so often, because he can use crows for his for example vision.
Vi having family issues while Jayce is fighting the antichrist
Yep! Completely normal.. or, slightly worse than regular family issues :'D
Maddie was probably always on the Noxian's side. She's likely who Salo was referring to when they said they're keeping eyes on Cait, she's a junior officer the only one of that station in Caitlyn's squad, and she was the first of the enforcers to start the noxian salute to appoint Caitlyn
She's almost definitely one of Noxus' seemingly endless number of spies.
update: the creators have confirmed she was always Noxian
She was definitely a plant. Like, she was never a loyal Piltoverian.
@@nomes7918 The writers have since confirmed that Maddie was always a Noxian spy.

Aw girlie, Jinx didn’t die. You see her escape. When the explosion happens, you see a streak of her pink lightning shoot out an away from the blue explosion. When Cait is looking at the map she smiles because she realizes Jinx got away. Then there’s the air ship like you said.
It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana, the potential that Mel could become a new champion, parallel worlds and Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight.
And the way Riot Games ended the stories by killing 6 champions is just wow.
The new champion Ambesa Metard got extra love from Riot Games and the official IP team. Cinematic Blood sweat and tears, a story on the League website and after Arcane came out the Novel book Arcane Ambesa Chosen of the Wolf. And its ending is great.
Heimerdinger finally got a good story, not just some character description on the League website, a preview in the Jinx comic and the lore game Hextech Mayhem. And even though he is a Yordle, so he should return/reborn in Bandle City = Spirit Realm but I don't think that will happen.
Jace and Viktor are a big question, because I can't say for sure if they died or if they are ending the "timeloop" paradox of parallel universes (#blue stone with always a different Rune).
Warwick is still questionable, because he could possibly return in his more werewolf form from the Cinematics and games.
And Jinx = Powder her sacrificial death hit me the deepest in the heart. Her beginning with the Get Jinx Cinematic and her ending in Arcana created by the same French studio Fortiche, it's the greatest love story for art.
Are u stupid? Ah yes she clearly managed to escape after clearly being held by warwick, and there just happens to be more than one light, use ur head lmao
Cait smile is absolutely because of her hearing Vi, the streak of pink lightning could well be a VFX of the explosion which is the exact same color(which i don't think it is, i do think it's Jinx too), that being said, her looking at the vents with her little monkey, and the ship at the end are clear indicators that she's probably alive, but then again doesn't mean much as "Silco" said to her "sometimes is better to walk away" that was her closure she wouldn't be able to live in that society anymore.
@@bonfireseeker The creators were asked was she dead and they said we dont know which pretty much confirms she isnt
@@hevzengames the raven is Raum not Swain. people tend to forget Raum does not need Swain to distribute ravens for secrets hunting.
Viktor has never been bad. While he always think the best for humanity, the humanity fails him. He is my favorite character from the show.
The poor guy's been suffering like crazy since literal birth, was dying all throughout the series and still kept trying to ease people's suffering until the very last. And he made the right choice too in the end - and was instrumental in stopping his ascension and getting rid of the hexcore by enabling Ekko and Jayce to have the acceleration rune. He's just an amazing character
Singed told Viktor that the only way to stabilize him was with Warwick's blood, since it has such insane regenerative power. He repeated the same to Ambessa last episode. So just like you said, Viktor merely got that transfusion as we saw during the Twenty One Pilots song, and in return Warwick was given the arcane evolution that all the other bodies got and was turned into living metal. They didn't fuse or transfer bodies. Same reason why he still comes back to life for a bit after Viktor and Jayce teleports away, the regenerative power meant the beast side of Warwick could survive for a few minutes longer. That's also why the metallic Warwick never ever opens his mouth or makes noise, but after Viktor and Jayce leave (they didn't die, it was the Acceleration Rune like Ekko said) he starts snarling and snapping like a wolf again
Jinx is alive and will be in the next series. I know because my grandmother told me on her deathbed. But she wasn't really my grandmother, she was my granddaughter who traveled back in time to save me from jumping off a bridge (thus saving herself) because I too thought Jinx was dead.
wtf
Make sense
Maybe your granddaughter saw what happen if you successfully jump off that bridge. It may cause the extinction of humanity so saving you also saving the world 😢
Can confirm I was the bridge
Something I noticed through reactions and comments which was pretty cool! Viktor mentions that "only you can show me this". Because Viktor was giving different runes to different Jayces, and giving the acceleration rune to this Jayce allowed Ekko to rework Jayces acceleration theory work to create his time travel device which ultimately stopped the apocalypse. Every watch unlocks new info for me, I love it.
27:03 whole ah mood after the finale, nothing but pain.
jinx is alive, because of the details at the end
If you remember last episode in Season 1 there was a crow too. There were two possibility which is either Swain the grand general of Noxus which where Ambessa came or Fiddlesticks the ancient demon of fear. But after finish the season 2 and the crow appear again. The crows has 3 eyes which confirm Swain has been watching for whole time.
Jinx is alive. You can see her shimmer dash to the side when the explision happens. That's why caitlyn was looking at the vents system on her hexgates schematics. Plus, the blimp at the end is her leaving Piltover. She'll probably cameo on one of Riots' future animation projects.
Warwick too, though.
Jinx to demacia to spend time with her bestie Lux 🤣
I’d say Jinx is basically confirmed alive based on all the hints plus what was said in the Act 3 Afterglow
yes, too much hints
Riot Games and Arcane's co-creator confirmed they're developing 3 new spinoffs involving Noxus (Swain, the 3-eyed crow, is the main villain), Ionia, and Demacia. Some of the Arcane characters will likely appear.
small correction don't mind me: the crow is called Raum and is one of the few primordial demons in Runeterra, Swain isn't a villain (not more than everyone else in noxus) nor the crow is connected to him here (yet, unless they decide to change important lore which would be a very bad decision, or skip one of the most important events, which would be even worse)
@@8cz124 Yeah but we don't know if it's only Raum or if it's Swain with Raum. Since we don't know how the timeline fits into everything else. The creators mentioned in livestream that everything should work out nicely, so it could be any of them.
@@Nyx__ I mentioned it isn't connected to Swain (or shouldnt be) yet because (spoiler alert) this happens after Noxus invasion of Ionia which involves Singed creating the mass destruction weapon for Noxus, however when we see Raum it's right after the events of s2e9, so unless Singed has been multitasking and theres not a single reference to it in the show, Ionia vs Noxus hasn't even begun and Raum is currently working alone
just think about it as a somewhat subtle sneak peek to whats coming in the next series, not necessarily referencing Swain or any other character but Noxus as a whole
Not 3 spin-offs, 1 show about 3 regions
Don't be sad, Jinx is alive! Besides the hint you picked up about Cait checking the vent systems, during the explosion there's a frame where you can see a purple flash moving towards one of the sides, also the last shot of the show is a direct call back to episode 1 of the series where Powder expresses her will to one day ride on one of those airships. Besides this, there's now an "Afterglow" of Arcane on youtube where the team answers some questions, is Jinx dead was one of them and ofc they don't answer specifically but you just look at their reactions ( specially Ella) and you know she's alive, i would go as far as to say she's probably signed a new deal already
She died, stop making up theories. She fell hundreds of stories and exploded along with a mutant.
@@FlaLovecraft Seems like your reading comprehension or comprehension overall is not that high, that's fine ig, maybe you could work on it or just wait and see because Jinx will 100% return :)
@@FlaLovecraftJust watch the scene where the grenade explodes frame by frame. Maybe you'll notice something unusual.
Then watch the last scene where Caitlyn looks at the ventilation system of the tower and the mysterious blimp flying away from Piltover.

The crow is heavily imply to be a Noxus character spying the events of Arcane. It's been confirm that the next story will be set in Noxus or related to it. There will be more Arcane related stories after this one but some of these character's plot/arc have concluded here.
Ahhh lovely series and what a way to wrap things up. Its easy to see viktor as the bad guy in all of this since we attach so much to our free will. But always keep in mind he viewed everything as a problem to solve and it wasn't until jayce came in and destroyed his actual attempt at helping people that he went towards forcibly taking away people's free will. And while it doesn't matter that hes doing it for what he thinks is a good cause. The big reveal that it was future viktor really ties it all together. He knew he was wrong and that his way wasn't the way to go. But as episode 7 pointed out, if he just didn't help jayce. They both lose, jayce dies in the cold and viktor succumbs to his disease. As odd as it sounds, this really was the best outcome for them (also they're almost certainly not dead)
It's a very tough moment with Jinx😭 but it's good that she's alive, I really expect her to appear in the next projects💙
I don't think she will appear or if she does it will be as a hidden easter egg
@devondablevins she might be in the same episode
Your reaction and emotions are so real, honest and genuine that I am amazed at how you worry about all the characters in this series) good luck to you in developing the channel and more subscribers) upd: Jinx is alive (fans immediately solved all the mysteries associated with her "death") and even the authors themselves hint at this, judging by the last frames in the series)
Jinx's entrance comes in basically saying. You maybe a villain, but not a super one.........:P and jinx is still 100% alive. ^_^
28:00 One of the top bigshots in Noxus. Someone whose strategic mind, resources, and raw might completely eclipses those of Ambessa. He's going to be a massive factor regardless of whether he becomes ally or enemy to Mel.
yeah the goat
Possibly THE bigshot in Noxus. Even though I'm pretty sure it's not "him him" yet, just Raum.
Until this season confirmed it was the Black Rose who Ambessa was referring to in Season 1, _he_ was who we thought Clan Madarda was warring against.
Just say its Swain the leader of Noxus
Jinx my beloved no questions asked
also:
I feared two things: League champions having plot armor and Jinx becoming that psycho she is in League. Arcane didn't do either. I really couldn't ask for more. Not a show, but THE show indeed. Fortiche created a masterpiece
Your reaction is the best I've seen, I didn't know you. Thanks for this ♥ and what a lovely ending-
A small Q&A just came out and Ella Purnell just answered the question of if Jinx is alive with "we don't know"... She said it in the most "She totally is but I'm not allowed to say it" way.
I've never cheered for anything more than Maddies death. I knew she was for the streets lol
LITERALLY, Karma.

Cait holding a head peice of the grenade tells me its only what they could find. Down there. , no corps , so she went back looking at those maps and show those air ducts. She escaped.
Imagine being Viktor, moments from victory, when some random kid he has never seen before in his life strolls up, gets past all of his defenses, and throws literal time at him.
"Please, end on a good note"
Oh you should know better by now 😂
With the situation of Viktor and Warwick, in episode 6, Singed said that Viktor needed Warwick's blood [who is the apex of Shimmer] but Viktor declined, saying that it would destroy Vander as a person. You can see in episode 8, Vander's memories faded away as Singed gave Viktor his blood and now you see Warwick as a husk
Ekko is the only one who doesn't connect with Viktor. Viktor explained that he only evolves those who desire evolution, those who want better lives. Ekko, however, get a glimpse of a better life, and he sacrifices it to save everyone, demonstrating that he is content with who he is and with everything that has happened in his life.
Except he was being connected to the hive mind right before he went back crazy far
i’m so glad i didn’t film my reaction because i was sobbing GROTESQUELY for the next hour. i feel your pain, girl
If you go back to season 1 you will notice ravens are a reoccurring theme after the Noxians arrive. Noxus is a triumvirate, one of it's leaders is known as The Grand General, and he uses ravens to collect intel; he's also most likely Ambessa's superior and the reason she was in Piltover. So I guess the raven is a teaser for the viewer telling us that Jericho knows she failed, and the next story is taking us to Noxus to tie up the Black Rose storyline.
There are quite a few hints towards the end that Jinx is alive - and that she took the opportunity to do what "Silco" talked about.. walking away.
One.. the shimmery reddish flash heading away from the explosion - two, Caitlyn examining the ventilation system of the area that Jinx "died" in.. they found the bomb fragments, but not any bodily remains apparently... and finally: in the very first episode Powder said that one day she'd fly in one of those blimp ships.. and a blimp heading away for parts unknown just happens to be the very last shot of the series.
Hopefully we'll have that theory validated one day.
I can only agree with you. The producers could have just made it clear whether she was dead or still alive. But by hinting that Jinx is still alive, I think they want to keep the suspense high. I think that Jinx will definitely be seen or will have a supporting role.
To quote Caitlyn in S1 Ep4: "Airship, actually. An airship has a rigid metal hull. It's not a blimp."
Something I haven't seen anyone speculate on is that Cait is holding the head of the monkey bomb. So I assume that someone found this at the site of impact (callback s1e3 ;)) and them not finding Jinx's body prompted Cait to look for schematics.
@@hansim3894 Precisely.. theres nothing in that "outro" that indicatet that they've gotten their hands on any actual remains - body remains, that is.. bomb fragments? Yes.
Besides.. theres no way they'd animate that scene of Cait looking at schematics unless it was a prerequisite for something else.. the shows too expensive.
I hope not. The “faked their death and started a new life” trope is lazy and stupid writing. Her dying is a way more emotional and rewarding ending.
They wrote this as smartly as they could. Completely ambiguous so those that wanted her to live can have their head canon and those that prefer that death have theirs. If they stay smart, they’ll never confirm one way or another because it keeps this conversation going forever.
The crow is a symbol for Swain the leader of Noxus (another champ in LoL) And Jinx is not dead the purple streak when she uses her powers proves it during the explosion!
one of the saddest scenes to me was when we saw vanders memories vanish, and i knew from that point, when we saw him again, he wouldnt have the tiniest bit of himself left in warwick
I loved your reactions so much, you made me cry a lot even knowing what was about to happen, you're sooooo sweet (like a cupcake!) Thanks for all this videos and for watching Arcane! :)
Ahhhh thank you so much for the kind words. 🥹❤️🧁
Viktor makes it very clear that his intentions were never to control the hivemind himself, but to force unity on all living beings at the cost of individuality. That doesn't make him any less wrong, but i think it's an important distinction to remember and one that the show tells us pretty directly. If he was out to control everybody, the ending of this episode wouldn't make any sense, especially the reveal of the old mage's identity.
I also don't think we're supposed to take anything positive from Ambessa's last words. If anything, it's proof that while Caitlyn and Mel won the battle, Ambessa won the war. She finally made Mel harsh enough to make the morally wrong calls for her own goals, finally made her into someone with the wrath she said Mel lacked last episode. She's only really acknowledging Mel in that regard, because now there is someone to take over as head of the family who is just as ruthless as Ambessa
The crow is Swain. It's a hint that the next show from them will be focused on NOXUS. Swain controls crows and uses them to watch over everyone.
I’m not gonna lie this episode felt like avengers endgame. So many emotions, so much action. This is easily a top 3 anime. Wow what an amazing series
The crows are most likely the ravens used by Swain to spy on the world. He lost his arm in a battle, and replaced it with a demon-possessed arm which gives him his powers; the demon's named is Raum.
It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana, the potential that Mel could become a new champion, parallel worlds and Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight.
And the way Riot Games ended the stories by killing 6 champions is just wow.

I kind of like that the game is completely free from canon in the sense that every champ is plucked out of the timeline without any care for whether they're still alive in the story
I realised that the enforcer who died trying to throw thr "grey" gas grenade, was the father of the undercity family they kept showing in Ep 8. He dies to the crossbow and his dauther and wife are grieving his death, in the ceremony after the battle.
if you look at the that last explosion again... you could see a pink trail... that might've been her shimmer speed moments before the explosion... and she might've run away through the vents that Cait was just looking at...
The crows are sent by General Noxian Swain since he possesses an ancient demon called Raum who is the demon of secrets who sees everything for the crows and these differ from normal crows by having three red eyes, then either it means that Swain observed everything from Noxus or it was Raum not yet being possessed by Swain but at this point and seeing that he always accompanies the Noxians most likely it is Swain and by the way Swain is a very, very important character for the lore of Noxus.
12:00 he didn't consume or fuse with him. He took his blood which contains Shimmer which stabilized him and evolved him into his (glorious) final form. The moment he too Warwick's blood, Vander was dead. And that's why we saw his memories and the image of himself fading.
Also if you look closely at around the 42:09 mark when the grenade explodes, you can clearly see the Shimmer dash in the upper part of the explosion. That plus Caitlyn looking at the schematics and the zeppelin is enough to conclude Jinx is alive.
Yeah, but Warwick spends an awful lot of time targeting Jinx and Vi not to have Vander in there somewhere.
Jinx was my fav character in the entire series, glad she survived and just walked away after faking her death. Now everyone can live their lives without constant chase after Jinx. Cait knows she survived but maybe doesnt want to lose the moment as Vi is here and after learning the truth she would rush to search.
As Jinx and Warwick fell, the memory had to be that of Vander, putting Vi and Powder to sleep, so Vander is still in there somewhere
Also, Warwick (post loss of memory) spent A LOT of time going after Vander's kids.
Jinx, Viktor, and Silco gotta be the best written characters in the show.
the writers knew exactly what they were doing when it came to the ending
Beautiful reaction!!
Thank you ❤️
I am surprised how many people thought Jinx actually died given all the foreshadowing she was leaving Piltover & Zaun so Vi can move on and be happy with Cait. ACT II & III were full of quotes telling us Jinx should leave,Walk away,Fill her own cup,too smart to stay in a bar all her life,leave a few things behind to take that leap and move forward. Always with Vi even why she is worlds apart. Then the last two scenes only served to hint Jinx could have survived and sure enough when the creators were asked if Jinx died, they could not keep a straight face,Ella in particular. They are leaving i open. AKA Jinx is Alive and got to ride on an airship like she always wanted to.
I hated how good Ambessa was. She was an unstoppable force. The only thing that took her down was her underestimating her daughter and her apprentice's (Caitlyn) willingness to *sacrifice* for the cause. Sacrifice being Ambessa's aspect of combat and the overall theme of the season. Caitlyn sacrificing an eye to open Ambessa up for Mel to sacrifice her mother to take a hit at the Black Rose.
In the end Ambessa did sort of win. She only wanted to defeat the Black Rose and for Mel to realize she had to be the wolf. She literally gets everything she wanted. At the cost of her life. In a sense sacrificing herself for the cause.
Absolutely brilliantly written character.
At the last moment, we see a memory of Vander. What could this be for? I assume that Jinx was ready to sacrifice herself. But Vander could not allow this, and so at the last moment he threw her into the ventilation.
Depending on the timeline or if there are any changes etc the Crow is either Raum or Swain.
Swain, one of the leaders of Noxus made a deal with the demon of secrets Raum. So we don't know if Swain is in control of that crow yet or if it's just Raum looking for stuff.
Nice thumbnail. 😈
And I second the Jinx dodged the explosion.
A: you saw the streak
B: no way they are killing off their top girl. 😉
That crow belongs to the Grand General of Noxus
#JinxLives you see her escape Piltover in the Airship at the end before they write "the end" in Jinx's font & color scheme. ❤
love the reaction to the maddie betrayal scene haha!
top tear reactors* :))
The raven is a reference to Jericko Swain, main leader of Noxus. He uses crows to gather information and many crows appear throughout the series. Which means Swain saw everything that happened since season 1.
incorrect. the bird is Raum's. not Swain's. it's still before Ionia-Noxus war.
@alexwang3282 yeah is true
Aww dear 😢😢 your reactions is top 10✨✨
In the League of Legends universe, which is made up of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra, there are no infinity stones.
But different types of magic and Rune = Runeterra.
At the very beginning there was only the Void and the Watchers, but then the light appeared and a reality emerged that awakened the Watchers and since then they have been trying to destroy it.
In reality, the death of Gray man/Pale man, which later becomes Kindred, two aspects of death, Lamb peaceful death and Wolf brutal death, appeared/originated.
In the universe = Celestial Realm, the dragon of Twilight as Aurelion Sol created the stars around which the planets were formed.
And later on, celestial beings and gods also began to engage in reality manipulation.
The celestial gods created constellations that serve as predictions and guidance for people, and with the help of world runes they created the planet Runeterra in one of the regions, they pulled the mountain Targon out of the earth, which serves as the Gateway to the Celestial realm Targon Prime = "Universe".
One of the Celestial Gods, for some unknown reason, later hid the world runes across the Runeters, which over time caused magical radiation, thanks to which Spirit Gods such as Anivia, Ornn, Volibear,... which reshaped the surface of the planet by ghosts, demons, and later created magical beings; Sky giants; Yordles = Heimerdinger from Bandle city which is in spirit realm; Vastayashai'rei (Shapeshifting Spirit race) + Humans = Vastaya
Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoids races.
Later, the Targionians people together with the help of the celestials created a crown for Aurelion Sol, whom they enslaved and thus became forced to listen to orders from the Celestial aspects to seal/destroy the void rifts with their Celestial fire.
Over time, it is clear that various types of magic appeared or arose on Runeterra: Celestial, Spiritual, Shadow, Runic, Elemental, Temporal, Necronatic, Blood,...
Runeterra is supposed to serve as a place where super powerful beings of Ascended aspects = Celestial demi-gods are to be created by, for example, a person climbs to the top of the mountain Targon and one of the Celestials chooses him as a suitable guest.
Or, with the help of the Sun disk, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors where some failed and The Baccai = Ramus were created and others were Ascended sunborn Nasus, Renekton,... And later the fragments of them were created after the Void battle Darkins.
All of this is to serve as a defense shield against the Void and its watchers, who are trying to destroy reality by creating Void rifts through which void born creators and monsters can pass and which devour and destroy.
Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.
I have watched all your reactions and love them, Cyberpunk Edgerunners would go perfect with everything you have watched so far and is only 9 episodes like Arcane!
Don't be sad, Jinx is alive and left in the airship that appears at the end, remember what she said in the first episode when she was a child “one day I'm going to fly in one of those” she escaped through the adults that Caitlyn looks at while holding her without a toy bomb. Heimerdinger didn't die :D
This raven belongs to General Swan of Noxus, the next series will be about Demacia, Noxus and Ionia.
it'll definitely be about Noxus...doesn't necessarily have to be bout Demacia and Ionia...yet.
Loved your reactions. I too, believe Jinx is alive and will make a cameo in future Riot animated series.
I think jinx lived. she saved her father from being a slave, living as a monster. she saved VI by setting her free from the past and her family and beginning to live for herself and the future. hopefully, we might see them back together again, someday.

Look up Jinx Ruins Fixes Everything Act 1, 2, and 3. Each part adds to Jinx’s story in Arcane.
I already imagined she was alive because of all the little hints, with afterglow of act 3 that came out today im pretty sure she's alive and will appear in the next show, of course not in a main role but appear somehow. Vander/ww wouldnt die from that bomb either, he didnt die by the isha thing, but seems like now he lost all his memories and there's nothing left
I personally very much think Jinx lived. As you pointed out at the end, the shot lingering on the exact thing that Jinx stated she wanted to some day ride immediately following Cait clearly pondering her potential escape path seems too clear of a bread crumb trail by the writers for it to just be for nothing. Also, it seems like a lot of people maybe don't notice but Jinx is very much not a normal human after Singed brought her back to life; she's effectively warwick's predecessor (ironic, being that she's Vander's daughter). I don't think it's outside of reason whatsoever to say she could manage to survive such a fall if she were to push off of warwick at the last second.
That crow is Swain's pet. He is probably spying on everything. Maybe we get Swain's story in the next episode.
it's not Swain it's Raum. Raum doesn't need Swain to send ravens. and it's not really a pet.
Fyi I'm pretty sure others have told you but jinx is not dead. She escaped in one of the air ducts, that's what caitlyn was looking at so don't be too sad.
Swain is controlling the crow, he is the leader of Noxus. (where Ambessa is from)
I think the only mistake they made this entire series is not putting a slightly more obvious hint for Jinx surviving. I only caught it on my second watch because on my first I was a sobbing mess so barely got any of the hints at the end. I've seen so many reactions now and nearly every one has the same reaction and thinks she's dead to only be told afterwards to check the last scenes again. I do love the idea of doing the hint thing but I think it needed to be ever so slightly more obvious or slightly later after the scene of her dying to let us dry our tears lmao.
Absolutely phenomenal series and are very fitting end to this regions stories. I can't wait to see what they do next, and I don't doubt we see at least a little bit of these characters again. I think some day in the future Jinx will reunite with Vi and Ekko but only when she's finally forgiven herself for everything that happened and fully grieved for both her father figures.
nah, that wasnt a mistake, it was intentional. they don't make it clear that she survives so her death/sacrifice can have impact, but leave enough room for speculation that she's alive so it could make sense that she's in future lol content.
same case for jayce and viktor. christian linke said they were dead and i think riot made him retract that statement??? haha
@@mikulover493 I know it was intentional, I'm saying having it so quickly after the scene means nearly everyone I've seen missed it. Having the scene 2 minutes later would achieve the goal they had better. It's not about people seeing those scenes and not quite knowing for sure, it's about people completely missing what's happening because of the emotional whiplash. It's hardly a big deal tho.
absolute cinema🤌
All we Jinxers hail you
The crow with 3 eyes is from another LoL character from noxus, maybe he will be in the next LoL series
Note with determination, there is a ship that comes out of Pilltober and there is a possibility that Jinx is there because when I see the explotion bombs of Jinx's tools, there are no bodies and if everything is left behind it is to bring Violet a better life to her . I know I suppose
Not a crow it's a raven. It's associated with a champion in league of legends called Jericho Swain.
jinx isn't dead, in s1 act 1 she said she's gonna fly in one of those things (airship) that's where they ended the show
I need to talk to a psychologist about jinx's pain, i m getting sick! best show ever, nothing beats this! As a matter of fact, Victor was a good character, his war united piltover, he is actually the real MVP!
maddie was the first enforcer to pound her chest
Only Singed got his happy ending. Freaking bio weapon war criminal got his daughter back lol.
Jinx is alive ❤❤
Arcane fez até os homens mais másculos chorarem por mais de uma vez [não estou nessa categoria]
4 seconds of animation a week per animator. Masterpiece by Christian Linke and Alex Yee who prior to Arcane had 0 production of this scale experience and all other people who worked on this wonderful crafted visual and touching story.
The raven is Swain. You will meet him eventually
Jinx deserves to be happy with Ekko, he clearly loves her
Ekko loves Powder, Not Jinx
@@JustCauseFannah, he loves both
@@nonyourbusiness165 literally one of his voice lines in the game "i had a crush for you until you started talking to a gun"
The thing is, how the f did Jinx escaped Vander’s grip!?
theres no body and they aint nobody dead
2:00 if you're talking about Teamfight Tactics, then it's good time to come back, its Arcane set now!)
I think it was this! Hehe, I’m mainly an overwatch girly but I do need to change it up.
The crow is just symbolism for death, disaster and bad luck. I dont know what the point of showing that symbolism at the end of everything is though.
