In the first episode when Powder and Vi were crossing the bridge, the enforcers were executing the injured, but this time, its Jinx executing the injured enforcers
A detail I noticed when watching this for the first time, 0:26 the song Jinx is humming is the same that she sang in episode 1 when she and Vi were on the SAME BRIDGE when they were orphaned.
Even better, having repeatedly listened to it, her opening notes are actually from the title song 'Enemy' and she closes with the lullaby from episode one. So, in effect, she's merged them into 'Enemy...Across the River'.
@@Ali-lh1st She's humming the opening notes of Enemy as you see her boots walking toward you, but she's humming it low and it is almost overshadowed by the background music, then she transitions into Friend Across the River in a higher pitch which is what most people only catch.
I think it’s really interesting how at 1:44 Cait tries to hold together to protect Vi, but Vi’s version of protecting who she cares about is to push them apart - love the little details
Nice attention to detail ! I like the metaphore. I also think it has to do with their fighting style. Vi being a boxer, so it is an instinct to move her guard up like this. Cait is using firearms, so it is more logical for her to grab.
Monsters don't go on missions to achieve an objective they don't care about for someone they don't even necessarily like in that moment (but whom they ultimately care for) Less cryptic version: Jinx is definitely ruthless here, but she's putting herself at risk and dealing with the emotional pain that comes with seeing Vi value someone else seemingly more than her- all in order to fulfill Silco's plan, because of her feelings for him.
It's the scene where enforcers unjustly kill undercity civilians that are "caught up in a revolt" while knowing full well they were innocently passing by. They did this to "prove a point". Jinx, the daughter of the victims in turn takes revenge on the same bridge humming the same song, doing exactly what they did to her back to them. The Captains daughter loses her father.
If you watch 1:44 at half speed or .25 speed you can see that before Vi pushes them apart, Caitlyn wraps herself around Vi to protect her. And there’s something to be said about willing to die for a girl you met a day or two ago.
1:31 i hate watching this scene, don't get me wrong, it's really good, but i just hate the feeling i get out of it. How jinx did this small sigh that felt like a "ha, so it's true". The pain in her eyes TT
The sharp contrast in the pitch between Jinx and Ekko's themes also show the differences between their characters, the attention to detail in this show is amazing. Especially at 2:14, after Ekko saves Vi and Caitlyn, the camera cuts over to Jinx approaching in the distance. The song playing in the background switches and becomes a darker mix of string instruments until we get to the dialog.
I feel like a lot of people forget 1:41. I know Jinx was aiming at Caitlyn and didn't realize she could've also hit Vi, but from Vi's perspective, it looked as if she tried to kill both of them. No wonder she doesn't feel safe around her in the season finale.
You know what really sucks about this scene is that it mirrors the ending with Silco. Early Vi told Powder that she was never going to abandoned her again, and yet when the time came for her to be their for her sister, she left her again. That's what I think finally pushed Jinx over the edge, see that Vi Left her twice and came back for someone else. In Powder's mind she sees Caitlin as trying to take her place. The sad thing is Jinx might have left Caitlin alone if she didn't see that Vi went back for her, something that she didn't do for Powder twice now. That's what I think finally pushed her over the edge.
Um Vi was trying to go back for her sister the first time she was captured by Marcus and thrown in jail and here she tried going back but there were enforcers on the bridge with Silco taking Jinx. Add in the fact that Jinx is so hell bent on killing Caitlyn she nearly kills both Vi and Cait… why should Vi go back to that?
@@HazelAmarie I know that Vi did try to go back for Powder, but Powder never see this. I clearly said that in Jinx’s mind she feels like her sister is always leaving her, even if she doesn’t actually believe that, thats how she feels. People tend to forget that knowing something and feeling something are not the same thing. Somebody dealing with a fraction of the trauma that Powder is dealing with, would tell you the same. That there are days when you are hit with this feeling of worthlessness, of emptiness, your hit with a feeling that your alone and unloved, even if you know that’s not true. That feeling still hits you, still takes you, and you can’t shake it for a while, sometimes not at all. I’m explaining the thought process that Powder is having in the moment, that no matter what, she will always be alone and unloved. And look maybe it’s just me, but if I saw a giant explosion come from the last place I saw my Brother or Sister, it doesn’t matter what or who is in my way I running towards them. Let me put it for you this way, Vi is a big picture person, she thinks that taking down Silco will solve all their problems, but it won’t. Powder is to damaged for such a simple answer. In this very scene she tried to kill herself, and Vi wasn’t there to stop her. She didn’t even know. But who knows if she even could if she did, my point is that if Silco didn’t show up when he did, and if he didn’t have this twisted love for Jinx ( no matter how unhealthy it is for her) Powder would have died on that bridge in the same place that Their parents died. And Vi wouldn’t find out until it was to late. My point is that Powder needs someone to help her through her psychosis, her trauma, her pain, her depression, and her guilt. And as much as we all want that To be Vi it just simply can’t be her at this moment. Because Vi’s traumatized as well, she is so fixated on trying to make things right, to get her sister back but thinks she needs to kill Silco to do, when all she needs to do is just talk to Powder, and I mean really talk to her open up let everything out. The tragedy is that If she stayed on that bridge, and Ekko took Caitlin to safety, she might have been able to get through to Powder. But that’s not the choice she made, and Powder sees that. There was a time when Vi would have ran to her sister not from her sister. That’s why Powder has that look on her face, right before Vi leaves. Because she thinks, that Vi won’t choose her any more. Of course Vi would, but Powder can’t see that, like she said at the end “I thought maybe you could love me like you use to, even though I’m different.” In Powder’s head she can’t be loved. She’s in a lot of pain, and will do anything to make the pain stop. And people who are dealing with that kind of pain tend to make very implosive and unhealthy decisions to make the pain stop, the sad thing is what they choose to do just exasperates the problem more. And Powders biggest problem is that she still an 8 year old girl. Her trauma doesn’t allow her to move past that. And Vi can’t help her until she stays sees what Powder is really going through. She needs to put her sister first, not Silco. It’s like what Vander said “ when you have people who really on you, you can’t afford to be selfish” Vi has a lot of people who really in her, but only one person is spiraling out of control in a dark pit of violence self-loathing, and depression
I feel the same. Few minutes earlier, on the bridge, Vi leaves Cait and Ekko to find her sister, to be with her and try everything to get her back. Then this happens and she leaves. I was so much triggered. Like Ekko could've returned with Cait to bring the stone back and Vi should've stayed there with Jinx.
@@michaelroque2662 its fine i feel powders trauma i have the exact same type still being overly childish with abandonment issues thinking everyone is out to get me. Having psychotic episodes, I also have a sister that I have a issue with because after finding her after almost a decade. The dynamic for vi and powder hit hard to home for me. Feel like maybe its a sign to not make the same mistakes
I'm sorry as much as I adore Cait I have to say it THERE IS NO WAY SHE SURVIVED THAT, The fact she did with only minor shrapnel injuries amazes me I've never seen a bigger case of plot armor. It's literally like she casted Barrier EVERYONE around her either lost a limb or was completely torn to shreds with their brains seeping out of their skull. She should have 100% died on that bridge especially considering Marcus was holding her at gunpoint like the gun was literally in her face when they landed and blew up.
@@tonyperez8750 well yes that scene was completely bullshit might as well throw a nuke at her and nothing would happen this is the second time she was blown up and walked away with less than a scratch
90% of jinx shooting that machine gun is just missing Her objective and instead destroying what she supposed protect or loved I think only her pistol is the only gun in this show which has actually killed her objective
Jinx is super-clever, outsmarted everyone by already taking back her Gemstone and letting the idiot Ekko take the empty gemcase hahah Jinx is awesome, literally the embodiment of the Nation of Zaun.
If you would look closer you would see that she literally have no time for it, she didn't have stone in her hands when she was fighting Ekko, it's actually probably Ekko who gave it to her because he probably though that Silco would keave her dying if she failed
@@Zavrael disagree so much we could clearly see that he didn't want her to die + in all their previous fight you coukd see that Ekko even when he's a leader try to avoid fighting Jinx, he only lose his temper when she killed one of his people but before that Jinx through 2 granades at others not in him and he try not to fight her
what I was so happy about with this scene is the little bits of Ekko's theme right there and I really wish we got more of it throughout the series, especially right here. Don't get me wrong, the "fight" scene between him and Jinx that follows this is pretty good, I just would have preferred his actual Theme have been used for such an important scene.
The way jinx doesn't look at people as she kills them reminds me of the joker. It was a way to show he didn't care. And jinx doesn't care about the enforcers. They are nothing in her eyes. Nothing but a problem.
She's part of Silco's revolution against Piltover, and this is the same bridge where she witnessed her parents be brutally murdered by enforcers. It makes sense that she wouldn't care for them.
@@PainKiller1.6180 Doesn’t matter. There's no reason for anyone but Jinx to think that. Unless she's just stupid and THAT self-centered, I'm sure Jinx understands that firing at her sister is only going to push her away. That was her intention when she held the minigun in Vi's face in episode 6 as well.
@@PainKiller1.6180 What? She killed a girl on sight just for having the same hair color. Jinx would absolutely kill Vi and comes close to it multiple times. She's not in her right mind and would feel terrible about it later, but still.
@@nicole_1747 You guys completely misunderstood Jinx's character and it shows. It was obvious that she wasn't aiming at them if you watch it frame by frame, and for the pink haired girl, Jinx knew that she wasn't Vi, but when she saw the pink hair she started having a PTSD episode. The girl was a part of the firelights so she had to kill her like every other person from the clan. Jinx had MANY opportunities to kill Caitlyn but she never did because she knows how much Vi loves her, and it would ruin her if she got killed (she knows that they have feelings for each other) but Jinx has some serious mental issues like PTSD, schizophrenia, etc.. Which causes her to overthink everything and think that Caitlyn is replacing her. She also had many opportunities to kill Vi but she never did, because she loves her. At the end of the show Jinx completely gave up on Powder and shot Piltover NOT because she's evil but because she wanted Vi to get away from her and live a happy life, cause remember she jinxes everything.
1:40 From this moment on, Jinx towards Caitlyn has the very same feelings the North Korean army has towards the main character in the videogame “Mercenaries”… *ALWAYS HOSTILE*

In the first episode when Powder and Vi were crossing the bridge, the enforcers were executing the injured, but this time, its Jinx executing the injured enforcers
And she’s humming the same song she sang in that sequence.
Come to think of it Jinx is the only one following through with her conviction against enforcers of all the kids still alive.
“My vengeance...ends now!”
- God of War 3 reference
This show had so many incredible parallels.
A detail I noticed when watching this for the first time,
0:26 the song Jinx is humming is the same that she sang in episode 1 when she and Vi were on the SAME BRIDGE when they were orphaned.
YES. Just commented the same. Goddamn, that’s some attention to detail!!
At the same time, marcus' daughter has become an orphan too
Even better, having repeatedly listened to it, her opening notes are actually from the title song 'Enemy' and she closes with the lullaby from episode one. So, in effect, she's merged them into 'Enemy...Across the River'.
@@Dilligff Where do you hear enemy?
@@Ali-lh1st She's humming the opening notes of Enemy as you see her boots walking toward you, but she's humming it low and it is almost overshadowed by the background music, then she transitions into Friend Across the River in a higher pitch which is what most people only catch.

Nice attention to detail ! I like the metaphore.
I also think it has to do with their fighting style. Vi being a boxer, so it is an instinct to move her guard up like this. Cait is using firearms, so it is more logical for her to grab.
I hyped so much when I heard the ekko theme from his original reveal trailer
What is ekkos theme?
@@uzairahmed4197 boy who shattered time, youtube it. You could hear it softly when he came in on his hoverboard
The way Jinx's vision is thinking Caitlyn is stealing Vi from her though
The jinx in this scene is like a monster.
She’s a living nightmare
Monsters don't go on missions to achieve an objective they don't care about for someone they don't even necessarily like in that moment (but whom they ultimately care for)
Less cryptic version: Jinx is definitely ruthless here, but she's putting herself at risk and dealing with the emotional pain that comes with seeing Vi value someone else seemingly more than her- all in order to fulfill Silco's plan, because of her feelings for him.
Essentially Jinx players when they are fully fed.
Especially at 1:13.
Starting around 0:23 Jinx is humming the same tune she sang on the bridge in the opening scene of the show.
It's the scene where enforcers unjustly kill undercity civilians that are "caught up in a revolt" while knowing full well they were innocently passing by.

ugly crying over cait x vi 😭😭😭
Now i'm never gonna unsee this it's so beautiful
Historians will say they were good friends.
2:07 Bruh hearing the subtle original ekko theme got me HYPED up
I've only just noticed this! very smooth
O love arcane ekko even if he doesn’t have his z drive.
Well 1:48 you will hear his theme, so fking hyped
At 1:43 I noticed that Jinx wasn't aiming at Caitlyn or Vi, she was just trying to shoot between them to seperate them.
Jinx coming out of the smoke is one of the best parts ^^
1:31 i hate watching this scene, don't get me wrong, it's really good, but i just hate the feeling i get out of it. How jinx did this small sigh that felt like a "ha, so it's true". The pain in her eyes TT

2:08 goosebumps as soon as ekkos theme started playing faintly, love him
Jinx is 1v3'ing though, gotta respect her for that.
Helps that others are hurt and unarmed when she is using a machine gun.
