Viktor, a brilliant scientist who was trying to make a future was defeated by some random zaunite rebel who could run to the past and grown in hell through other people seeking future
@@Jv-xo7ppdon't forget viktor himself was a zaunite. considering benzo used to sell all kinds of stuff that could be using for tinkering, it's even possible that viktor and ekko actually saw each other once
Like Ryze once said: "The only power I got, is the strengh to let it go". Ekko sacrificed a perfect home, the love of his life, his living friends, his mentor, his dream career, and even a freaking time machine just to save the people who depended on him. A true dam hero.
@@gabrielstephens8662 It's in Brand's story. Can't remember the exact details, but he used to be a village boy that became Ryze's apprentice before turning into his in-game form. It's definitely worth a read.
something oddly poetic about viktor being bested by a young, prodigal zaunite inventor, just like what he used to be. I think in that moment, Ekko was a subtle reminder of Viktor's previous humanity.
2:28 it’s Viktor’s face but it looks like Ekko’s Firelight mask. Also is poetic that Ekko, Viktor and Jayce where the last ones standing. Ekko’s tip was the reason Vi, Powder and the others broke into Jayce’s apartment for the Hextech, Jayce is the one who discovered Hextech and Viktor gave Jayce the blue crystal when he was a young boy.
@@Shitposting_IHMNwell yeah obviously his first choice wouldn’t be to sacrifice his power over time if he can land it with a blow, but it took a failed attempt for him to learn that wouldn’t be enough thus he had to go back and throw the device instead
I love how quick but still heavy every single fight Ekko is in is. He always ends up in like 15 second high stakes duels, and it gives me so much anxiety!!! And I also LOVE how perplexed Viktor is in that like 2 seconds before Ekko’s Time Machine explodes XD
I like how "this device cannot be" can be read both as "this device surpasses my understanding of this world" as well as "this device is having trouble existing cause it's overloaded"
@@Shitposting_IHMN well actually no 🤓🤣 . if he hadn’t pushed the Z Drive past its limit then it wouldn’t have exploded. So he literally couldn’t have just done it the first time around.
Ekko's progression is amazing. Leader of an environmentally concious secret underground, pretty much the sole inventor of their tech which is on par if not better than Jinx's stuff (as shown by Firelights dogging everyone but the two MC's every time they show up) while not being magic or shimmer-boosted. Replays a play fight scene in his head that he did at least once as a kid, to dodge gunfire on foot. Can't bring himself to kill his childhood friend and crush. SOMEHOW survives. Learns how to multiverse jump with his mentor and best friend/girlfriend in the span of 2-3 weeks, and the moment he discovers time travel he pretty much immediately learns the limits and a useful way to store it for easy use. Finally, his reaction time and muscle memory are up to 100% when he can pull the pin to Jinx pulling the pin, AND instantly recover from getting clothes-lined in the face during the final fight. That's not to mention the emotional growth he's had to go through. Him and Cait had the biggest transformations of character in the 3-6 month span between Act 2 of S1 and the finale (add another month for S2 Ep 7). Edit: also, while off-screen, he definitely had to reset to be the only person to dodge the paralyzing forehead string Viktor cast on the entire battlefield.
Ekko's the GOAT imo, I do think him and Jinx are just about equals on the invention front, though Jinx is more weapons leaning she's VERY smart (the fact that she built a miniature mercury hammer into her old zapper/flare pistol is crazy, cause im not sure if even jayce could/would do that). Whereas Ekko's inventions are always geared towards defence, his crystal grenades subdue his baton is non lethal(ish) and his smoke bombs are smokescreen only, plus he seems to be gun averse, cause its mot like hes not smart enough to build them But yeh physically he's the fastest (unenhanced) combatant in Zaun or Piltover and easily one of if not THE most acrobatic, add his dropboard into the equation and he's a shimmer level threat In the spinoffs that delve into him and Jinx I hope they expand on his load outs... I for one think it'd be REALLY cool if those Kaenic Rookern Ambessa wore ended up on Ekko's hands, not just cause they're green colour scheme either lol I feel like Ekko would figure out they need to be heated periodically to "safe" them? (Rictus and Ambessa seemed to heat them on coals before going into battle) He could easily get around this by welding a heating filament onto the metal lining of his ew blue crystal buster lock sword.. with a small battery unit on the hilt (which would ironically make it look just like the one in game that has a small tube sticking out of it) which powers the heating filament, then he could weld the kaenic rookern onto these filaments on both sides of thr sword and at the touch of a button he can "feed" them by heating them like a mini hotplate strip.. without having to remove them and put them in fire or coals.. voila RuneTech!! Something which would put a chemtech steampunk like Ekko and edge against magic users like the black rose when they eventually come sniffing around in PiltoverZaun again Plus the idea of Ekko having a crystal buster sword that can nullify magic/magic attacks alongside all his other gadgets is just so freaking cool it just NEEDS to happen That and Jinx building a portable hexgate are my two biggest wishes for the spinoffs
I think few ppl realize that ekko rewinding more than 4 seconds is crucial for the defeat of viktor. doing this he destabilizes the anomaly, making it quite literally a time bomb. then ekko yeets the thing into viktor. because the anomaly is unstable it could rewind part of his old self to human again, making him listen to jayce one last time.
Bruh? Viktor clearly states in that clip (while looking at the brightest light) and implies that the bright light is coming from ekkos device, it shows his mini hex core lol
Ekko The boy who lived the "could have been" life was given the power to make his today the "should have been". To everyone involved in the making of Arcane, thank you.
At the very end of this fight almost every hero or champion fighting Viktor had been captured or restrained by his army of husk with no hope left. I love that the deciding factor of this hopeless situation wasn't Vi, Jinx or Jayce but Echo the boy saviour. The unsung hero that had the biggest impact of the war and noone will probably realize that.
Victor's power source which is the Hexgate (time skip) and Ekko's z-drive (reverse time)... when combine shall cancel each other out. That's the reason why Victor suddenly vanished when hit by the Z-drive.
0:47 I don't know why, but in this scene, I think of ps5 Spiderman 2. Miles is Ekko, who is trying to save Peter (Jayce) from the clutches of Harry/Venom (Victor). Is it just me? I can't not think about that.
So did the z-drive just get super powered by the Hexgates and Jayce's arm rune enough to send both of them way back in time to when Jayce was about to do in the snow? That's absolutely bonkers, I just thought of that and that'd be sick
My sister think Ekko got motivated at the end. When he get caught and stares at the sky the clouds are blue and the thunder is pink and purple ish. Mightve mase him think of powder and motivated him.
Yeah, I wish they kind of used his concept trailer as a reference. If they had done something to imply that he had to reset multiple times during the fight, showing all the damage he accumulated it would have went so much harder
@FrenchUzi Yeah... I mean they kinda did? But just two times. Maybe few more out of sight seeing how he perfectly hits all the arms at the start. But with such a tense moment and banger music... They should have done just a bit more like in the trailer 😔.
At 1:24 you see him glitch, and he didn't even touch the device beforehand. Including that, I counted 5 resets, including when he kept going back to the same point.
@@The14JC14 yeah but the thing is with the concept trailer there was the feeling that even though we only saw him reset twice, he was resetting a lot more. I mean maybe just with the way the fight was so fast and he kept going back to the start, but even in the beginning we’d see him reset, notice his damage then get back into the fight. It just had a much more epic struggle feel that I think fits his character so well
Mad person wanting godhood, hurting, killing, and putting everyone else in a comma through some technique. Where I have seen that before. Oh yeah. Naruto Shippuden: Madara Uchiha.
Crazy Victor probably barely even knew Ekko existed before this moment. Some random Zaunite kid in possesion of a wild rune from another timeline
Viktor, a brilliant scientist who was trying to make a future was defeated by some random zaunite rebel who could run to the past
and grown in hell through other people seeking future

Ekko have access to a lof of mind, if he know powder, he know ekko
heimerdinger carried it tho
ekko did all that, only to return where he was and just yeet the thing, something he could have done from the very beginning, thx for wasting my time

Like Ryze once said: "The only power I got, is the strengh to let it go".
Ekko sacrificed a perfect home, the love of his life, his living friends, his mentor, his dream career, and even a freaking time machine just to save the people who depended on him.
A true dam hero.
Ekko becomes Ryze's apprentice when?
Actually, after the whole Brand incident...
No im talking about a Ryze cinematic about the Arcane (was a promotional video for the Worlds i think). @@dragonmage372

Damn bro I didn’t even realize that
I love how Victor sees everyone as a light and for him Ekko is the biggest and brightest one out there.
Bruh? Viktor clearly states in that clip (while looking at the brightest light) and implies that the bright light is coming from ekkos device, it shows his mini hex core lol
That light isn't Ekko, is the Z Drive about to explode on his face
I love how dumb you are. Anyways how is that black of a man immits light? Jk. Anyways that's too much daydreaming for you
1:47 "everybody keeps telling of how my story should suppose to go nah i'm gonna to my own thing" aah scene
aah scene aah comment
aah comment aah reply

its spelt ekko, not echo
THAT’S WHY HE’S MVP!!! THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT!!! THE GOOOOAAAT!!!!!
Man this scene keeps playing in my head even after I’d finished watching. It’s just so good
So happy when I saw Ekko with his trademark bat
Victor's power source which is the Hexgate (time skip) and Ekko's z-drive (reverse time)... when combine shall cancel each other out. That's the reason why Victor suddenly vanished when hit by the Z-drive.
Ekko did mention when designing the Z-drive that he made it by inverting the acceleration rune,
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so excited before like I literally jumped from the realization of Ekko going back in time when he first got hit
Classic Ekko JG going AFK farm until late game.
Late game carry
There’s something eerie about Viktor just watching Ekko after he was pinned down. Almost like a “oh well, another assimilation”
Oh, look who it is. The boy savior.
1:13 i love how u can hear a voice say replay
Not just a boy savior
A boy who rejected heaven and defied a arcane god.
The boy who shattered time
The boy who sacrifice a good universe and a perfect life to save his original universe and his friends
remember when jinx called him “the boy savior”?
Well,that was a very acerted prediction
Ekko ended up being my favorite character in Arcane.
He really was the Boy Savior
Ngl this felt like i was in cinema watching Endgame or smt
This whole scene is just so hype omg Ekko THE GOAT
The shots though are FLIPING AWESOME😭😭👏👏
Our RIOT Spiderman I swear you cant hate him
Mfrs see this and be like “S2 was mid” like bro💀
As an Ekko main and fangirl I screamed during the entire scene against Viktor
What's the synthwave song at 1:15, it fits Ekko so much ❤
Look up ekko vs viktor score
Anti-acceleration rune reacted with the acceleration rune to sum 0
Ekko's did a "backdoor" atacking victor from the back
the boy savior " jinx season 1"
So he used the device four times to defeat viktor…
The friend who clicked “Not going on the mission” 😂
0:47 I don't know why, but in this scene, I think of ps5 Spiderman 2. Miles is Ekko, who is trying to save Peter (Jayce) from the clutches of Harry/Venom (Victor). Is it just me? I can't not think about that.
NO! HELL NO!
@@bozard1494 Ok, sorry
Can u do the scene where ekko looks at dead jinx from another world, the scenes of ekko wandering around the city please
what's the song when ekko tries to reach Viktor, the syntwave one?
it's called The Challenger, you can find it on under Vol.3: Arcane League of Legends
Arcane the challenger
So did the z-drive just get super powered by the Hexgates and Jayce's arm rune enough to send both of them way back in time to when Jayce was about to do in the snow? That's absolutely bonkers, I just thought of that and that'd be sick
bro did a 1v100 clutch

Somebody know the name of soundtrack in this scene when ekko fights against viktor?
I only wish they went a little harder with the scene, like 2-3 more resets. Two felt a little underwhelming with such a cool concept and visuals 😅

Ekko solo
I'm just saying, start Deja Vu at 2:10, it works a little too well with Ekko's scene starting at :49!
how not scary is Viktor with his army? Imamgine just have full robotic braonwashed humans instead of this stupid anime shit

Don't compare that bs with this jsjsjsja
Bro you clearly didn’t even watch arcane 😂 literally shows you how Ekko escaped literally used the Z drive.
What?
😂 I clicked a short that had a theory about how Ekko survived Viktor but somehow it landed here .
