Had this pause while watching this scene because it hit me how alone Viktor was. Sure Sky and Jayce sometimes interact with him, but until Sky's sacrifice none of them was there for Viktor in his important moments (like when he's running) and/or seems to notice the changes in him.. that hit me hard and it made me very sad for him
Jayce left Mel after she gave up the coochie for him, just so he can visit and check up on his best buddy. That is the definition of Bros before hoes. It just happens that Jayce's mind is conflicted with all the Undercity bullshit by Silco and the councils stupid decisions on weather to intervene on the drug dealins or not. Jayce was always there, but the circumstances made it hard for him check up on his buddy 24/7. Not to mention he treats him like his own brother.
Jayce is like Viktors brother, offered to share the stage with Viktor on their big day, immediately went to Viktor when he got sick, and turned against Heimerdinger when his ideals threatened curing Viktor. Sky was always infatuated by Viktor, tried to ask him out only to get told "good night, miss Sky", and now ran without a thought to try and save Viktor. I love Viktor, but saying that Jayce and Sky weren't there for him isn't fair.
Sometimes when one was isolated as a child. When problems arise you don't consider counting on or asking those closest to you for help. You might be doing it out of habit, stubbornness, need for autonomy and independence.... But for Viktor..? I think his was along the lines of.....this is dangerous, reckless, and possibly fruitless despite his success thus far. He didn't intend to bring anyone else into this. It's t was his fight with his "useless body". The body that he grew up hampered by was going to transform to be better. By force, or he'd fail. But that kind of fight when no one's ever truly helped you fight your own body? You don't go to others. It's irrational yes. But when you life is struggle 24/7? You don't bring normies to your struggle party unless they bust in and refuse to leave like a band of cops with a paddy wagon. Viktor cared for both of them as well. You don't take loved ones and innocent civilians down with the sinking ship. Which his dangerous experiment could....and did.
This honestly is how mental illness like depression and anxiety feels. Even if you have people in your life that interact with you and talk to you off and on it feels like absolutely no one is there when your mentally at your lowest or when your thoughts are the darkest ....you could be surrounded by people and feel like your the only one that cares. Or at least that's how I perceive this train of thought as I have depression and anxiety mix
I broke my neck, lost everything below that for awhile, i got better bit by bit after months of rehab. After watching this episode it inspired my to run at all costs. I was able to get a slight jog before falling. Viktor is my hero.
Hey, a slight jog is progress. Keep that up, get back up every time and never give up. Hope you get better soon, my man, get that Viktor moment and outrun the boat.

Vander and Silco were so close in getting independence for Zaun, but when a loved one is involved, it is too hard. Viktor did it but not on purpose, he progressed but at what cause?
Anyone else notice when he yells his eyes are still slightly open so he can see where he’s running. Just the tiny details that make this show glow to damn bright to be from a game!
The whole conflict of the battle for progress against time was captured amazingly with Viktor. His death was in front of his nose and had nothing left to lose. The scene shortly after this where he realizes how much his work inspired Sky is heart wrenching. His work would live on long after he passes, progress would happen but not in his lifetime.

It's not only the juxtaposition of Viktor the kid unable to keep up with his toy boat while outrunning the real boats after his transformation, but the directions that they are running in those two scenes. Viktor the adult runs in the opposite direction of the water flow from the kid scene, implying that he is starting to run against nature, and the first time I watched this it left me speechless.
This is the saddest scene of the show for me. It's pure loneliness. The only person who silently care for him... Evaporated. The first run on the dock is beautiful tho. Victor is a true tragic character.
more addictive than shimmer, can't get enough of Viktor. He's the best character in the series, even if he comes down the wrong path, I think I'll still join the Glorious Evolutionnn
What I love about his walk is how his arms still move like he would move with a crane but the more secure he gets the more he moves both of them. Amazingly made by the animators
As a Viktor main for years, I had a feeling in the back of my head of his identity in the beginning. When he revealed his name, I had to scream in hype!!!
Seeing Viktor running felt like seeing my kid taking it’s first steps.I was just so proud but next thing I know I was grieving one the most precious character this show had
Its so upsetting that Sky to the viewer was how Sky was to Victor. Unimportant, not acknowledged. Until it was too late and her worth and intentions and ability and her care was truly shown.
Could make an entire video analyzing the score for this scene. Perfectly compliments the contradictory thoughts with each passing shot and action and captures every little or big change in tone so well
@@victorvillegas911 technically Riot producers wrote and supervised in the animating which was done by none other than Fortiche so it was truly an epic coordinated effort.

This in my opinion the best scene in all of Arcane. It is incredibly powerful, and personally it just feels different. I have suffered my whole life because of a congenital disease, and the idea of running freely like that almost makes me cry.

Six years well spent. As far as I'm concerned, Arcane is the new standard. Not just for video game adaptations... but out of everything on the market. This is GOT, Breaking Bad, The Wire, etc., territory... (IMO, better than all of the above due to my personal preferences - and yes, I understand you can't compare 5+ seasons of quality to one opening season... but come on people... this is obviously a different level of story telling. This ain't just a job for them... this is passion and sacrifice without the limitations of phony corporate Hollywood). Came out of no where too (if you're not into League), I almost forgot what 'great' was for a second... Thank you Fortiche and Riot! Please take your time with what's next. Be as satisfied as you were with season one. It'll be worth the wait.
Viktor and Silco single handedly carried this season. Not saying everyone else is bad but these 2 sigma males were fighting the fight no one believed in and almost succeeded.
@@Aambr094 but both were savages. Symbolism and themes. History repeating itself. Honestly animated shows are finally getting the mass amount of recognition they deserve this year
Imagine the thrill of taking a first un-assisted step in your entire lifetime. Knowing you've just opened the next door to potentially saving yourself, and untold others. All the while knowing; things that are too good to be true, usually are. And it's conveyed in like 5 seconds, if that. The writers, producers, acting, and most importantly the artists did just such an amazing job. Well done on them, they deserve the praise. Just look at all of the foreshadowing and, specifically, the boat in this scene. IMO I hope they leave this story arc for a while, try something different, and in a new area. This show is a perfect example of how it should be done.
heirmedinger "safety" policies may have saved lives, but maybe ekko " It’s not enough to give people what they need to survive. You have to give them what they need to live" creed was what viktor really needed. unfortunately , viktor will never be graced with time to have that realization
Silco : I wanna see Powder *Powder shows up* Silco : I mean the TRUE Powder! *Jinx shows up* Silco : What’s wrong?! I WANNA SEE THE TRUE POWDER! *Sky getting pulverized* Silco : PERFECTION!
She is the little girl from when he held the boat as a kid. You can hear her my mom call out her name before she runs away. She had been crushing on him this whole time. He was so caught up in his work he never noticed until it was too late.
Remember that Viktor carved runes over his body? Sky doesn't have those. That was probably the effect of the magic overcharging her body and not being able to control it.
I think she did save him for two points 1- He had no shimmer left, that's why he carved runes into his body (This was never tested before) 2- The runes on his body may have been the correct ones but there are no past records of runes being carved into someone's body (Except tattoos like Ryze) Thus, making it possible he could die from being overcharged and his body is already dying.
@@cye2310 bruh she literally saved him, he tried to force the transmuation even though he had no shimmer left. The thing was gonna kill him but took sky instead. Impatience...
In the game the prototype hexcore is purple, mk-1 is yellow, mk-2 is blue and the perfect hex-core is red. Hopefully in the show he figures out a way to use it without needing shimmer
My niece fought arthritis during her whole childhood. She was an extrmely fun and active child but I didnt actually see her run until she was about 14. That scene got me straight on my guts.
The fact that he finally outran the boat, the amount of symbolisms on this show is GLORIOUS
Ah shit I totally missed that and I usually have a good eye for symbolism. Nice catch!
Yep, and the same music from the scene of his childhood but in crescendo
.
Holy shit I didn't catch that
GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
What symbolism. Explain ?
She loved him so much she didn't even stop to think, she just wanted to save him from whatever is happening.
I'm pissed off before about Viktor ignoring her and the memes floating around it. Now, even more so.

Thats actually amazing. Good eye! The attention to detail in literally every single scene of this show is amazing.
how much symbolism, that's why this scene it's one of my favorite
The moment he started running is so beautiful. The moment he stood up covered in sliced runes across his body I just went "Oh FUCK."

Its so sad to think that sky hasnt tell viktor that she loves him
0:39 i went to get a cup of water and came back to this scene. I fucking lost it
Just listened to the score from when Viktor was a kid with his boat, and those increasingly fast strings are absolutely his theme
JOIN THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!!!
Glorious evolution
Imagine Riot adding a voiceline for Viktor towards Senna/Mel/Rell reminding him of someone.
everyone talks about viktor as an arcane character but I love him so much just by his lol persona
heirmedinger "safety" policies may have saved lives, but maybe ekko " It’s not enough to give people what they need to survive. You have to give them what they need to live" creed was what viktor really needed.
unfortunately , viktor will never be graced with time to have that realization
Powder becomes Jinx.
Sky becomes powder.
Silco : I wanna see Powder
*Powder shows up*
Silco : I mean the TRUE Powder!
*Jinx shows up*
Silco : What’s wrong?! I WANNA SEE THE TRUE POWDER!
*Sky getting pulverized*
Silco : PERFECTION!
This Show weirdly enough reminded me alot about Akira Kurosawa's Films.
The Constant movements & flow of everything.
It's beautiful.
Like a Painting.
oh my God, I just now noticed the boats in the background. this show pisses me off at how good it is.
This is my favorite scene in the entire show.
I came here to rewatch this scene, after i broke my right ankle last month. know i can feel how u would do anything to run again
I'm just now realizing that Viktor's leg brace was fused to his leg. Ouch
She is the little girl from when he held the boat as a kid. You can hear her my mom call out her name before she runs away. She had been crushing on him this whole time. He was so caught up in his work he never noticed until it was too late.
Narcissus and Echo, in a sense.
First you get a better life right on, then you lose the best person for you.
0:39 listen the little sound efect this some void ? maybe we will see on season 2 some void 😌😌😌
I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW VIKTOR WILL CHANGE PLS I NEED MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is also an easter egg to Rocky training and running at the docks
I CRIEDDDD
Phase rush viktor be like
my favorite scene from the show, so much in so little time of scene
Catharsis. Pure, catharsis. Just him running, man alive
thanks to Arcane every Viktor I’ve met or in the same team uses Haste
Not me trying to hunt down the music for this scene
I found it. :)
@@wilbee8526 what’s it’s called?
@@chrisgooden4684 first steps, from the last act soundtrack!!!!
Thank you🙏🏿
He outran all the boats y’all 😭
Viktor when he suddenly augments his Q and you can't keep up.
+phase rush
RUN YOU BRILLIANT MAN, RUN!!
Think she just saved him? Like her dying her made it so the core didn't kill Viktor/gave it the energy to save him?
Remember that Viktor carved runes over his body? Sky doesn't have those. That was probably the effect of the magic overcharging her body and not being able to control it.
@@cye2310 and also the thing that singed gave him was to protect his body
I think she did save him for two points
1- He had no shimmer left, that's why he carved runes into his body (This was never tested before)
2- The runes on his body may have been the correct ones but there are no past records of runes being carved into someone's body (Except tattoos like Ryze)
Thus, making it possible he could die from being overcharged and his body is already dying.
@@cye2310 bruh she literally saved him, he tried to force the transmuation even though he had no shimmer left. The thing was gonna kill him but took sky instead. Impatience...
Pretty sure she did save him, you can see only his arm was affected. Maybe she stopped the transformation.
0:52 hexcore with its purple glow, is starting to look like void
After this scene, it looks even more like void
It's like a biological creature
@@mauliafajarpurwanto4845 Vel koz maybe? 😂
In the game the prototype hexcore is purple, mk-1 is yellow, mk-2 is blue and the perfect hex-core is red. Hopefully in the show he figures out a way to use it without needing shimmer
OMG this is so sad. One must never run the path unraveled.
Such a beautiful show bro, I love arcane to much
This is such a great scene
I love the double meaning in this scene
Running it down mid after buying moby boots.
melhor cena de toda a serie e ponto final
My niece fought arthritis during her whole childhood. She was an extrmely fun and active child but I didnt actually see her run until she was about 14. That scene got me straight on my guts.
Him running made my eyes a little wetter than usual
Probably the 1st time running since forever.
Go little rockstar
Riot, nerf phase rush pls.
