She is alive because if you look at the beginning of the explosion you see a shimmer line go the right and that is only thing jinx can do and when we we see Caitlyn she is looking where jinx was and saw air ducts and that’s where the shimmer line was and remeber in season 1 episode 1 jinx said she will ride one of those blimps some day and remember what silco said to end the cycle he says she has to be willing to walk away there are to many points to here being alive
Yes, she is alive. It's been confirmed at this point. When asked point blank if Jinx is alive Christian said, "figure it out" and "all the clues you need are there". I can't find the tweet yet, but it sounds like they have also confirmed Jinx is alive, citing that the reason she left is so Vi would focus on healing herself instead of focusing on healing Jinx. IMO they could have done this in a different way... I mean, she also left Ekko who I'm sure would have gone with her to "start something new". But I guess they wanted the shock value of killing Jinx. 🙄 I still didn't like this ending, but at least not killing Jinx made it a lot less shitty than it could have been.
If I remember correctly, in League of Legends canon, Yordles can't actually die, they just respawn at their home town. I'm not even joking. (I know you were joking... but somehow the actual canon lore is even funnier and I just had to throw it in).
@@Rime_in_Retrograde the question at hand is whether he revives in his original timeline or in the timeline without hextech. Maybe both his selves separate, like ekko did, and he revives in both timelines
Even if Jinx is alive (pretty much confirmed), the intentional severance of her relationship with Vi for Vi to be able to move on, is more heartbreaking than if Jinx actually died.
Jinx is alive, the clues are quite evident, a purple line that moves just before the explosion, Catelyn looking at the sections of the structure while holding a piece of the device in her hand and focusing on the air ducts with a hint of a smile and finally the last scene, the airship that Powder said in season 1 that she wanted to drive.
@@DreamFearless What is the point then??? What our friend said above is 100% evident, it's crystal clear and I understand most people not getting it at first because of the emotion ending. But go back and watch it again.
@@GuiiBrazil a half second flash of light is not more important than the emotional climax of the series. It shouldn't be the focus. Disappointed in the fandom of this phenomenal series.
@@DreamFearless What a weird thing to say. Caitlyn checking the structure plants of the building air ducts while holding Jinx granade piece and smiling is not a half second flash of light, AS WELL AS, the serie final scene being a airship. Don't reflect your own emotions on strangers on the internet, you look and sound like weirdo. You don't represent any fandom. No one here does. We are just point out THE OBVIOUS!
Nobody talking about how when the glass shatters at the start and we see Jinx’s reflection, it’s literally in the shape of Warwicks teeth and face. The amount of subtle foreshadowing in this show is insane! You really need to go back and rewatch the entire series to see all the clues that went straight over our heads. Huge respect to the artists and animators.
For me it already is. I never saw react videos for any show or movie. Ever! But this serie made me watch these videos to come back to this emotions. The serie is completely full of quality. I hope it dosen't take too long for we to see these writers and animators next work.
wasn’t the rune that viktor gave jayce in this timeline for transportation? idk if i’m delusional, but maybe it teleported them along with viktor’s army somewhere else…
Maddie was a spy from the start. There's lots of hints, like her listening in on conversations, trying to steal the key from Caitlin, being the thing that Ambessa used to "fill the hole" that Vi left in Caitlin, etc. Maddie is a Noxian.
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.
@stoffelthedestroyer3741 you say that like these aren't plausible theories, compare this to the people saying Isha isn't dead with pure copium and zero facts.
I like to think the pink flash was the pressure wave blowing her eyeballs out and Cait was studying the diagram looking for some hope to offer Vi. All she found tho was the remnants of Jinx's grenade.
The blimp is their previous form of transportation. It’s showing them moving on without hextech after the war. That flash doesn’t confirm Jinx moving away. She was ready to die. How do you know they didn’t find remains? Where did it ever say that? If people are mourning her, I’m sure they found proof of her death. Especially Vi and Ekko because any hint at her survival would have them up and searching rather than just sitting around.
Raven at the end travelling back to Noxus to report the events to Swain confirms Noxus as next Series . Loved watching your reactions, can't wait for the next
@@lach7890it’s not related but it ties to Arcane it’s the next project so I’m pretty sure we’re gonna see Mel since she’s from there and there’s a war going on too
@@lach7890 I don't know where you heard that, but you heard wrong. They've announced three series and the location all three series will be taking place in, one of which has been confirmed as Noxus. And yes, it's certainly going to be set in the same universe. Presumably the Noxus series will function as a followup to some of the things teased with Swain and possibly all the stuff with Black Rose. The other two are anyone's guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see some returning characters or plot threads at some point.
One of powders first lines is when she’s looking at an airship. She says “I’m gonna ride on one of those one day.” Why would the show cut from Caitlyn and Vi In Cait’s house, to a random air ship and then end with THE END written in jinxes font unless she’s alive. That’s why cait smiled while holding a piece of jinxes monkey bomb while looking at the air vents where the explosion happened with jinx and vander. She’s alive no doubt.
We've all been there feeling grief after the show ended, but once I started watching nerds going frame by frame I was less sad seeing hope at the end. Still feeling sad and bit of grief but slightly happier.
Arcane is brilliant, a literal emotional roller coaster. And this is just the beginning, riot games are planning other spectacular stories in this universe. Possibly with cameos
19:52 that satisfying moment of revelation: there are no simple heroes/villains in this story. Not Jinx, not Vi, not Silco or Cait. Not even Ambessa. Not even Victor.
It was very interesting seeing what the writers had to say about all of this. For instance, they said "Ambessa had plans upon plans of dealing with the topsiders. She had zero worries about dealing with them. She didnt, however, know how to deal with the chaos of the under city. To her they were unpredictable and something she had no plan for". Also, Jinx is alive. The most recent interview with Ella Purnell kinda solidified it. Also, you can see her shimmer peel off after the explosion. On top of all that, you see Cait looking at the duct work where Jinx would have fallen. Cait then smiles, realizing Jinx could be alive. Cait then asks if Violet is still in the fight, before probably telling her, her sister may be alive. Then finally we see a shot of the airship, which was a call back to the first episode of powder saying one day she wanted to ride on one of those.
I feel like I felt exactly what this dude felt. I was already tearing up during the jinx sacrifice or heck even the Viktor/Jayce scene, but when they showed Ekko alone at the spot they kissed, that REALLY HURT and I started sobbing. They did my GOAT dirty...
In addition to everyone's comments about Jinx's possible survival, there is the scene of the crow that always seems to follow Jinx, pecks through a shattered duct and you see droplets of Shimmer blood. Then as the airship is fling away, the crow is flying underneath it. To me-Jinx is alive.
@@potatobr1207 It's at 44:56 as Caitlyn is narrating. As the Crow pokes through, you can see purple above it, then a couple drops fall on it. It might not mean it's Jinx, but Cait looking at the schematics and seeing the ducts, and the crow flying out beneath the airship, makes me believe she's still alive. At least in my mind-Jinx 4vr!
@ nah, with that many hints and possible foreshadowing, there’s no way she isn’t. I’m just adding more arguments to my arsenal atp. Trying to learn as much as I can to make up for all the emptiness the show left in me😔
Dont worry its heavily hinted that Jinx escaped to the airducts before the explosion. Right after Vander blows off the candle we see a purple line going up from the center to a pipe, later Cate looks at the schematics of the tower and see airducts at that explosion hight. Pieces or bomb were found but not a piece of her body. At the end we see the flying blimp, its as powder from s1e1, she wanted to fly one of those one day. Jinx faked her death and walked away, breaking the cycle of killing, letting Vi live her life without her constantly worrying and chasing.
Jinx is alive. The reason i believe this is not because of the light streak before the explosion, nor because of the final scene that supposedly shows jinx flying off, and not because Caitlin finds the airducts in some blueprints (though i agree each of these are convincing bits of evidence.) I think shes alive because Caitlin was looking at the blueprints. She most likely went to where the explosion happened and used her analytical skills that have been super accurate so far to find the monkey head but noticed a lack of evidence of jinx's death which led to her looking at the plans to find an explanation. If Caitlin can't find a trace of her at the scene, then she's alive.
If that were true and Cait just discovered that in the last scene, it would make her truly evil for not telling Vi. Imagine going through horrible grief yourself because you lost your mother and then knowing and willingly put your loved one through that, but not only that, you make her go through that knowing it's a lie ?! That would be pure evil.
@@_MicZ_ Not if knowing Jinx is alive further torments Vi for no purpose as Jinx doesn't want to be found. Cait's convo with Jinx in the cell, Jinx say there is no happy ending, then Jinx does all this to give Vi the closest thing to a happy ending. Jinx and Vi CANNOT be happy together, either they fight or one of them dies, alternate universes and all.
Jinx survived. It is shown in the episode with 3 scenes: 1 - When the explosion happens, theres a shimmer line showing Jinx movement as she jump sideway to the plumbing duct. 2 - Caitlyn looking at the plumbing map and smiling as she figure it out. 3 - The scene with the airship that comes next parallels the first episode of the first season where Powder said she would still fly in one of them.
JINX is..... alive!🥰😜 1. When the explosion slows down, you will see violet running away. a strip. 2. Caitlin suspects, looking at the drawings, but immediately understands everything when Vai starts singing. 3. Vai is not particularly killed, but hums melodies. 4. And the finale, we were shown the ship from episode 1 of season 1, on which Powder wanted to fly, and according to the drawings there are exits to their parking lots.
yes, but it doesn't make any sense tbh: 1. she got grabbed by Warwick, no way she broke lose 2. it would have been the perfect ending for her character arc 3. she tried to off herself right after Silco monologue
@@JustCauseFan 1. She held his face like that, he didn't even resist. 2. The ending is almost emotionless and very banal. This is not the ending for Jinx. 3. After a personal conversation with Ekko 🍌💕, she could change her mind.😅
@@uyda110 1. he did hold and scream at her and additionally attacked Vi without mercy, Viktor deleted his being, there's no way he would conveniently be sentient at this moment 2. emotionless? i cried, because it completed her arc if you think about it and what happened (Isha death, Vander death, her being a criminal atoning for her sins) 3. we only saw a few lines, there is no way a suicidal person in a state of mind like Jinx would just change her mind like that I just say with all information we have her just leaving makes not much sense, it's probably more like they want her alive for future content
I commented this before, dont remember if it was this Chanel but .. ppl wanted this Show ended up with a closed finale for the characters.. it was not gonna happen simply because there are characters in this serie that are involved in other stories😅, the only thing we gonna get kinda resolved was the conflict between the Piltover and Zaun.
This my first video of you guys, its so fun, you gave genuine reaction, and I really worry with you at end, you both seems devastated, really hope you okay 😅 Anyway, I also believe Jinx is escape and at another plane to somewhere else, maybe demacia, meeting lux haha
I'm sure you have seen others talking about Jinx's possible survival. Many people are comparing this to the Isha case, where everyone was hoping she was alive. It's not the same, because there wasn't anything hinting that Isha survived. But with Jinx, there's quite a few things that point to her likely survival. Others in the comments already stated them, so I won't repeat that, but the gist of it is: I can understand both sides. If she really did die, then that's a tragic, yet beautiful end to her character arc in the show. But there's way too many things that hints the opposite. That she likely survived. Too many to just be ignored.
The way I mourned for jinx when she ‘died’ is because I just so DESPERATELY wanted her to be happy. Like, you feel so protective over her, so when she died, it felt unjust and cruel. That’s why I cried too. I just wanted her to be happy 😭
I’m hoping the next series by Fortiche takes place in Noxus and surrounds their war with Ionia. A couple major yet small scenes point towards going there next… (below) 1. The Black Rose mage must be Leblanc: from the abilities to restrain with chains and make mirages, and the markings under the eyes of her cloaked form matching her character. Mel also referred to her as the “deceiver,” which is her title in-game. If we go to Noxus, we can hope to see the living weapons made by the Black Rose, like Rell and Briar :) 2. Swain (Noxian Grand General) had his ravens watching the war, and controlled one to steal a hex crystal after the war, which i think was from Jayce’s weapon being left there seeing as it had the corrupted appearance. 3. Singed revived his daughter as Orianna, however she does not regain her humanity from this revival. In his biography, he is eventually approached by a Noxian military commander to make weapons for their war with Ionia. 4. Camille also seems to be similar in technology to how Orianna turned out, so I’m intrigued to see if she’s ever brought up in the new series. Renata Glasc would also make for an amazing appearance since Zaun is reunited by the end, thus her business would be able to thrive as it does. There’s also all of the leads that Jinx left on the airship as she said she wanted to in S1E1, as well as her signature appearing at the end while we are staring at it.
Jinks is very much alive. And we may end up with Adult Powder leaping into the main universe with her own version of the z drive since she still has a number of complete crystals, and she'll be able to do it for much longer than 4 seconds. And then Powder + Jinx team up, with Vi, Ekko, Cait, Warrick, Seveka, Himerdinger, with Mel, are going to Noxus to take on the black Rose. Or more specifically LeBlanc, Vladimir, Else, and Cassiopeia until Mordekaiser is resurrected and Swain shows up...
[Copium but possibly true] Jinx unconfirmed alive: 1) Jinx quotes "Still don't get it, huh, sis? I'm always with you. Even when we are worlds apart." (possibly elluding to her plan to leave and taking her imaginary Silco's advice to walk away) 2) Shimmer streak prior to pink explosion (on top right of screen) 3) Possibly no body since it seems Caitlyn was holding Jinx's monkey bomb and investigating the HexGates ventilation system for possible escapes 4) During the aftermath of the war; where citizens were burning names of people in memory of, Ekko only burnt one paper possibly for Heimerdinger not for Jinx 5) The blimp/airship that flew away, Powder quotes in season 1 "one day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things." (actually the same airship/blimp as season 1 episode 1 5ish minutes in) [Hopes in sequel/spinoff] 1) Since Jinx leaves and meets Ziggs (canon in comic "Paint The Town") to travel together or live in Zigg's place in Zaun(reversed since no Heimerdinger or well Heimerdinger is back in Bandle City) 2) We could visit Ionia since we already established Noxus, the Trifarix doctrine(Swain, Darius, and possibly Le Blanc), hinting Swain's 3 eyed raven, maybe they can talk about the Noxian Invasion of Ionia (Canon in league timeline)
I think the only thing I am very sad is how the most happy one turns out to be Singe. Everyone lost someone and have consequences be it happy. Like bloody Singe got his daughter back and got to live his life. Hahahaha
Regarding the whole "is she/is she not dead" debate...I believe she escaped at the last second and took that blimp ride she talked about in the first episode to some other part of Runeterra. It was even foreshadowed in Act 2 when Jinx was talking to Silco's chair about how if he's really gone, then there is nothing more left for her in Zaun. Some people prefer that she had died, and that's fine, but I don't think it cheapens anything if she faked her death and left Piltover/Zaun. The only thing that would cheapen it for me is if they create another series with her in a main or supporting role. As much as I love Jinx as a character, I think this gave her and Vi a perfect conclusion to their story.
on tuesday they releasing a teaser on a show they are working on thats also in the world of arcane .....just not zaun and piltover......in the mean time league of legends has so much cinematics that could get you to understand more on the world of Runeterra (thats the world where arcane is) there are jinx stuff and more cait and vi and other epic vids
I believe in the Jinx is alive theories (so much lines up with it being right) so the most emotional scene for me in the finale was Ekko sitting alone at the outlook spot. Such a beautiful place to end his character. In the game he has a line that says "I used to have a crush on you, before you started talking to your guns..." so when he came to the parallel universe he got to meet the powder he had a crush on. You could tell how much better he had it there. But he knew he had to *sacrifice* (the main theme of this act) his happiness to save his friends. In the end he got that but he ended up alone once more. Actual psychopaths whoever wrote Ekko's story. It's such a beautiful character, that season 2 episode 7 (Ekko Heimerdinger Alt Universe) instantly became my favorite of the show. It's such a happy episode even though it's filled with dread and despair. Thinking about Ekko and Powder dancing together is just so fucking painful. Ekko did not deserve to end up alone, but that is the moral of the story of arcane. Bad things happen to good people.
they reiterated that Arcane itself was always planned for 2 seasons, but they've been dodgy about what comes next what we do know is that they're very interested in exploring other regions of Runeterra, and there were plenty of loose ends to suggest that's certainly on the horizon personally i'm hoping we'll be seeing Demacia/Ionia/Noxus
i don't think Piltover&Zaun is done on arcane, there are a lot of piltover and Zaun characters missing . Especially due to the fact that in comparison to the League of Legends Piltover&Zaun lore it shouldn't be finished here :D , but who knows ^^' (I mean they probably changed it for arcane, but ngl to much characters are missing here ^^' ) . I think we will get at least one more season of this part of Runeterra ^^
That is me to I do not know if Jayce and viktor are alive or not and I believe that they will come back. The first one of the duo to come back though will be Jayce because I believe that since viktor got his humanity back and is hextech enhanced he is going g to bring back sky and they will make up and possibly confess their love for one another because they need to make up. I also was sad that Mel did not have a reaction for Jayce and everything I mean do they know if they died or not it was weird. Also for jinx and Warwick I believe that they are still alive and for Heimerdinger from the lord there race is immortal and plus he is also liked and funny and so I believe that he will come back ask well. I would be crazy if we get a movie or a series with all of the regions facing off against the void or the gods this would be insane.
8:00 Maddie changing from being against Ambessa's invasion and supporting Catlin to straight up wanting to killing Cait feels underdeveloped and rushed to me (and kind of out of character for Maddie imo). Rewatching her former scenes at the start of the season hurts to watch now regarding what happened to her character. 8:43 Also, Jinx here look similar to Spider-Gwen in her Venom form which is pretty cool imo. 15:38 Invincible is another great animated show which I can recommend watching as well btw.
yeah, where the fuck did Maddie's betrayal come from? her death kind of saddened me because I liked her I was watching invincible but I dropped it in season 2
She was probably lying and siding with Ambessa from the start (or at least very early on, working as a double agent, which makes Ambessas comment and callback to entanglements more relevant). People are trying really hard to find flaws and dislke this season, but this is real weak sauce
@@delfinangel96 season 1 is a masterpiece so perhaps you are right, i love both. I may agree that season 1 is harder to find faults/plotholes, but season 2 is bigger and "cooler" (from a quality perspective that shouldnt matter), in my opinion season 2 may be slightly weaker, but its still a 9/10 which is better then 99% of shows the past 10 years, I and alot of people get defensive about the show, and I dont see you as a hater. I hope you enjoyed it, which it seems like you did, allthough you find flaws which is fair
A huge hidden part of my sadness is that once again a traumatized and mentally ill person is not allowed to live, to survive, to hope for a better life and future. As someone diagnosed with C-PTSD and a burnout combined with a depression, the message to me is that people like me are "worth" sacrificing because we're already suffering and longing for peace, and that hurts me the most...
Not worth sacrificing... you're life is worth everything! Jinx found Isha.. she was healing and living, learning to love again. Jinx's culmination if life and choices is what she couldn't escape. Vi didn't give up on her. She choose to sacrifice herself for love, not hopelessness.
There are only conjectures, it's not like they confirm that she's really alive to shout from the rooftops "She's alive fools, the fact that no one sees it is super obvious" xD
@@ECGxX12Jinx’s purple lightning from her eyes zapping away right before the explosion goes off was the biggest indicator. Next was the fact that they showed her explosion in slow-mo and her dying multiple times when Ekko saved her, but they didn’t show it at the end. Then Caitlyn holding the monkey part while looking at the air ducts. Then Jinx’s scribble when it show’s the air ship where her first line in the show was “one day, I’m gonna ride in one of those”. Just one of those might be enough, but all of them combined is just too much to ignore.
@ yes my bad for « shouting » but there are several hints and clues that show us that she escaped and survived . She broke the cycle of violence like Silco told her and walked away , it’s not even theories atp
I've now seen a lot of fan theories surrounding Jinx's sacrifice and I'd like counter a few of the more common ones with a different point of view: - Concerning the supposed "shimmer trail" being Jinx's escape just before the monkey bomb explodes: watch the beginning of episode 9 where Jinx tries to end it over and over with the same monkey bomb. Every explosion is preceded by purple lights, just pause it at the beginning of the explosions. Her monkey bomb is a combination of Chemtech, Hextech and Shimmer(!) ... (they clearly show that at the beginning of the scene) - About the ending scene with Caitlyn: she's documenting what happened for future generations, completely in the Kiramman tradition using schematics and voice recording (=her monologue leading into that scene). She then smiles when she hears Vi humming and walks over to her and starts the conversation by mentioning her humming/singing. (I think it's quite a leap to conclude that Jinx escaped through the vents based on Caitlyn using schematics in the same way her mother did) - The airship at the very end being "the airship Powder always wanted to ride": airships were previously also used to show Piltover's progress and considering what Caitlyn was talking about in her monologue voice-over at the start of the scene, that seems like an appropriate way of ending that scene. (Also: Powder/Jinx already flew on one in episode 4 season 1) But there are lots of hints that point to Jinx still being alive, right ?! Well there certainly are a few things that could be interpreted that way, however ... Already in season 1 the show is telling us that Jinx is willing to kill herself (bridge scene anyone?), after that in season 2: - they show us that after Silco died she was "already dead inside" and ready to "watch it all burn" - they show us that she's totally OK with Vi killing her, saying "I'm glad it's you ... it had to be you" - they show us she's extremely depressed and self harming after losing Isha and Vander - they show us how she actually ended her life multiple times(!) while Ekko tries to save her - they show us that she heroically sacrifices herself for Vi, smiling and hugging Warwick on the way down and blowing them both up Saying it's "very clear" that Jinx survived makes me think that either you're in denial or just repeating what others said. (I can think of another reason, but I'd like to remain civil 🙂)
- Fair enough, we do see a similar flash of purple light in the initial explosion, I'll give you that one. - "Documenting events for future generations?" That would certainly make sense following an incident like that in the real world, and is probably part of Cait's job duties as Sherriff, but it also seems pretty narratively flimsy on its own. Cait is explicitly shown holding one of Jinx's devices as she looks at the ventilation system, which is right about where Jinx would have ended up in this scenario. This is a show that has never been especially clumsy or careless with minor details, and I can't imagine that wasn't intentional to allude to Jinx's possible survival. - There are a lot of things they could have used if that's all they wanted to convey, but they chose to show the exact class or type of airship Powder declared she'd ride in flying off over open ocean (immediately followed up by an ending title card written in Jinx's art style, no less). Again, I have a hard time finding that all to be just an accident on the part of the writers/animations/storyboard artist. As for S1E04, I imagine nine year old Powder was thinking more riding off in one on some grand adventure, less stowing away in one and then blowing it up. I don't think that one really counts. - A character killing herself after being repeatedly shown to have suicidal tendencies might be more realistic, but it would also make for a pretty flat and uninteresting character arc. A character deciding to keep living and "use all that explosive power of hers for good" (again, "walking away to break the cycle" as it were) seems much more narratively compelling, which leads me to think it's where things are eventually headed. Anyway, accusing anyone who things it's pretty obvious as being "in denial" or "just repeating what others has said" makes me think you're either being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian, or just struggle to analyze anything beyond the most surface-level text of a work of fiction (see, I can be a dick too).
Jinx is gone folks! I hate to say it because I have grown to love the character as well, but for her to somehow survive would cheapen her sacrifice and redemption story. Personally, I am happy how they ended things because it makes her arc legendary as well as Victor and Jayce’s. But hey…..if you want to continue to believe she magically escaped the explosion in mid air, while being held in a firm grasp, in order to cope….then do you!!
I don't think it's made super clear just how much of the main cast has died. Let's review: Jayce, Viktor, Powder/Jinx, Vander, Ambessa, Isha, Claggor, Mylo, Marcus, ALL of the council members- including Cassandra Kiramman, Salo and Himerdinger, and everyone in Viktor's commune are ALL dead and/or disappeared Who is alive? Vi, Caitlyn, Ecco, Sevika, Singed and Mel. THATS ALL. 6 out of a cast of 50+ characters survived the plot of arcane. That survival rate of Arcane is lower than 12%
Never heard a reaction video with this many unnecessary f bombs. Very Interested in hearing her opinion about this amazing show but could only hear cringe profanity. She seems like a smart woman but I would absolutely love to hear her express her opinion and thoughts with a more varied vocabulary. Whatever. Bad energy. Unfollowed.
jinx is alive idc
She is, look at the explosion scene, theres a shimmer line just before it explodes, she escapes through the air vents
She is alive because if you look at the beginning of the explosion you see a shimmer line go the right and that is only thing jinx can do and when we we see Caitlyn she is looking where jinx was and saw air ducts and that’s where the shimmer line was and remeber in season 1 episode 1 jinx said she will ride one of those blimps some day and remember what silco said to end the cycle he says she has to be willing to walk away there are to many points to here being alive
Right there with you! Totally pointless commentary
Yeah she wanted Vi to think she's gone so she would stop trying to to chase her and live for herself.
Yes, she is alive. It's been confirmed at this point. When asked point blank if Jinx is alive Christian said, "figure it out" and "all the clues you need are there". I can't find the tweet yet, but it sounds like they have also confirmed Jinx is alive, citing that the reason she left is so Vi would focus on healing herself instead of focusing on healing Jinx. IMO they could have done this in a different way... I mean, she also left Ekko who I'm sure would have gone with her to "start something new". But I guess they wanted the shock value of killing Jinx. 🙄 I still didn't like this ending, but at least not killing Jinx made it a lot less shitty than it could have been.
Heimerdinger is alive. He got transported to another universe, in Earth 616 to be exact. He is now a musician and now known as Ed Sheeran. True story.
If I remember correctly, in League of Legends canon, Yordles can't actually die, they just respawn at their home town. I'm not even joking.
(I know you were joking... but somehow the actual canon lore is even funnier and I just had to throw it in).

@@Rime_in_Retrograde the question at hand is whether he revives in his original timeline or in the timeline without hextech. Maybe both his selves separate, like ekko did, and he revives in both timelines

Even if Jinx is alive (pretty much confirmed), the intentional severance of her relationship with Vi for Vi to be able to move on, is more heartbreaking than if Jinx actually died.

Jinx is alive, the clues are quite evident, a purple line that moves just before the explosion, Catelyn looking at the sections of the structure while holding a piece of the device in her hand and focusing on the air ducts with a hint of a smile and finally the last scene, the airship that Powder said in season 1 that she wanted to drive.
Not the point nerd but cool
@@DreamFearless Author put those detail in the show for a reason and for the viewer to spot, not for you to be a dick
@@DreamFearless What is the point then???
What our friend said above is 100% evident, it's crystal clear and I understand most people not getting it at first because of the emotion ending. But go back and watch it again.
@@GuiiBrazil a half second flash of light is not more important than the emotional climax of the series. It shouldn't be the focus. Disappointed in the fandom of this phenomenal series.
@@DreamFearless What a weird thing to say.
Caitlyn checking the structure plants of the building air ducts while holding Jinx granade piece and smiling is not a half second flash of light, AS WELL AS, the serie final scene being a airship.
Don't reflect your own emotions on strangers on the internet, you look and sound like weirdo.
You don't represent any fandom. No one here does. We are just point out THE OBVIOUS!
Nobody talking about how when the glass shatters at the start and we see Jinx’s reflection, it’s literally in the shape of Warwicks teeth and face. The amount of subtle foreshadowing in this show is insane! You really need to go back and rewatch the entire series to see all the clues that went straight over our heads. Huge respect to the artists and animators.
Arcane will always be remembered as one of the greatest shows ever made💯🔥
top 3 I'd say
For me it already is.
I never saw react videos for any show or movie. Ever!
But this serie made me watch these videos to come back to this emotions. The serie is completely full of quality.
I hope it dosen't take too long for we to see these writers and animators next work.
I know exactly how you feel dude. Jinx's end absolutely ruined the rest of my day
ill just be delusional and believe vik and jayce got teleported to another timeline where they can live happily together 😭
Actually…that’s not farfetched and PROBABLY what actually happened in all honesty.
wasn’t the rune that viktor gave jayce in this timeline for transportation? idk if i’m delusional, but maybe it teleported them along with viktor’s army somewhere else…
pretty sure that's what happened. same with Heimer.
9:42 'I wish Silco was here to see all of this' - fk yeah, great call
Maddie was a spy from the start. There's lots of hints, like her listening in on conversations, trying to steal the key from Caitlin, being the thing that Ambessa used to "fill the hole" that Vi left in Caitlin, etc. Maddie is a Noxian.
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.
bro who is your copium supplier, please tell me
I promise I won't report you to the pigs
@stoffelthedestroyer3741 you say that like these aren't plausible theories, compare this to the people saying Isha isn't dead with pure copium and zero facts.
I like to think the pink flash was the pressure wave blowing her eyeballs out and Cait was studying the diagram looking for some hope to offer Vi. All she found tho was the remnants of Jinx's grenade.
@@stoffelthedestroyer3741is not copium is literally what the show is trying to tell people
The blimp is their previous form of transportation. It’s showing them moving on without hextech after the war. That flash doesn’t confirm Jinx moving away. She was ready to die. How do you know they didn’t find remains? Where did it ever say that? If people are mourning her, I’m sure they found proof of her death. Especially Vi and Ekko because any hint at her survival would have them up and searching rather than just sitting around.
"There is always a choice" -> "Choice is false"
How much Viktor has changed
you guys aint alone ... it feels like part of me just broke after watching this season ... frist E6 now E9 - i cant recover from this ... :(
Raven at the end travelling back to Noxus to report the events to Swain confirms Noxus as next Series . Loved watching your reactions, can't wait for the next
Not necessarily, they said the next series isnt even related to arcane, different art style, different universe, different story unfortunately.
@@lach7890it’s not related but it ties to Arcane it’s the next project so I’m pretty sure we’re gonna see Mel since she’s from there and there’s a war going on too
@@lach7890 Incorrect, it's the same universe. We're 100% going to be seeing Mel and the Black Rose (Leblanc) from Arcane.
@@lach7890 I don't know where you heard that, but you heard wrong. They've announced three series and the location all three series will be taking place in, one of which has been confirmed as Noxus. And yes, it's certainly going to be set in the same universe. Presumably the Noxus series will function as a followup to some of the things teased with Swain and possibly all the stuff with Black Rose. The other two are anyone's guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see some returning characters or plot threads at some point.
Ekko MVP, and lost the person he loved. That's... not fair😭😭😭
One of powders first lines is when she’s looking at an airship. She says “I’m gonna ride on one of those one day.” Why would the show cut from Caitlyn and Vi In Cait’s house, to a random air ship and then end with THE END written in jinxes font unless she’s alive. That’s why cait smiled while holding a piece of jinxes monkey bomb while looking at the air vents where the explosion happened with jinx and vander. She’s alive no doubt.
I felt that. Sending hugs and love. I enjoyed watching your reactions very much. 😢
We've all been there feeling grief after the show ended, but once I started watching nerds going frame by frame I was less sad seeing hope at the end. Still feeling sad and bit of grief but slightly happier.
Arcane is brilliant, a literal emotional roller coaster. And this is just the beginning, riot games are planning other spectacular stories in this universe. Possibly with cameos
I violently sobbed multiple times through this finale. I loved this series. 😭 Now to wait for the next one.
19:52 that satisfying moment of revelation: there are no simple heroes/villains in this story. Not Jinx, not Vi, not Silco or Cait. Not even Ambessa. Not even Victor.
It was very interesting seeing what the writers had to say about all of this. For instance, they said "Ambessa had plans upon plans of dealing with the topsiders. She had zero worries about dealing with them. She didnt, however, know how to deal with the chaos of the under city. To her they were unpredictable and something she had no plan for".
Also, Jinx is alive. The most recent interview with Ella Purnell kinda solidified it. Also, you can see her shimmer peel off after the explosion. On top of all that, you see Cait looking at the duct work where Jinx would have fallen. Cait then smiles, realizing Jinx could be alive. Cait then asks if Violet is still in the fight, before probably telling her, her sister may be alive. Then finally we see a shot of the airship, which was a call back to the first episode of powder saying one day she wanted to ride on one of those.
36:26 RIOT made the show so good it broke our heart, so now they have to take responsibility and give us more 😂😂
love the Asian guy 🔥🔥
everyone whos's left a tear on this story is already my best friend... and I hope all the good thinghs are hapeniing in your life!
I feel like I felt exactly what this dude felt. I was already tearing up during the jinx sacrifice or heck even the Viktor/Jayce scene, but when they showed Ekko alone at the spot they kissed, that REALLY HURT and I started sobbing. They did my GOAT dirty...
Yeah that scene of Ekko alone just made me want Powder to be there even more 🥲
In addition to everyone's comments about Jinx's possible survival, there is the scene of the crow that always seems to follow Jinx, pecks through a shattered duct and you see droplets of Shimmer blood. Then as the airship is fling away, the crow is flying underneath it. To me-Jinx is alive.
ohhhh i didnt notice the shimmer blood part, which part of the epsode is that in?
@@potatobr1207 It's at 44:56 as Caitlyn is narrating. As the Crow pokes through, you can see purple above it, then a couple drops fall on it. It might not mean it's Jinx, but Cait looking at the schematics and seeing the ducts, and the crow flying out beneath the airship, makes me believe she's still alive. At least in my mind-Jinx 4vr!
@ nah, with that many hints and possible foreshadowing, there’s no way she isn’t. I’m just adding more arguments to my arsenal atp. Trying to learn as much as I can to make up for all the emptiness the show left in me😔
"I'm sorry, I need a second! What has this show done to me?"
Dont worry its heavily hinted that Jinx escaped to the airducts before the explosion. Right after Vander blows off the candle we see a purple line going up from the center to a pipe, later Cate looks at the schematics of the tower and see airducts at that explosion hight. Pieces or bomb were found but not a piece of her body. At the end we see the flying blimp, its as powder from s1e1, she wanted to fly one of those one day. Jinx faked her death and walked away, breaking the cycle of killing, letting Vi live her life without her constantly worrying and chasing.
Jinx is alive. The reason i believe this is not because of the light streak before the explosion, nor because of the final scene that supposedly shows jinx flying off, and not because Caitlin finds the airducts in some blueprints (though i agree each of these are convincing bits of evidence.) I think shes alive because Caitlin was looking at the blueprints. She most likely went to where the explosion happened and used her analytical skills that have been super accurate so far to find the monkey head but noticed a lack of evidence of jinx's death which led to her looking at the plans to find an explanation. If Caitlin can't find a trace of her at the scene, then she's alive.
If that were true and Cait just discovered that in the last scene, it would make her truly evil for not telling Vi. Imagine going through horrible grief yourself because you lost your mother and then knowing and willingly put your loved one through that, but not only that, you make her go through that knowing it's a lie ?! That would be pure evil.
@@_MicZ_ Not if knowing Jinx is alive further torments Vi for no purpose as Jinx doesn't want to be found. Cait's convo with Jinx in the cell, Jinx say there is no happy ending, then Jinx does all this to give Vi the closest thing to a happy ending. Jinx and Vi CANNOT be happy together, either they fight or one of them dies, alternate universes and all.
Jinx survived. It is shown in the episode with 3 scenes:
1 - When the explosion happens, theres a shimmer line showing Jinx movement as she jump sideway to the plumbing duct.
2 - Caitlyn looking at the plumbing map and smiling as she figure it out.
3 - The scene with the airship that comes next parallels the first episode of the first season where Powder said she would still fly in one of them.
JINX is..... alive!🥰😜
1. When the explosion slows down, you will see violet running away. a strip.
2. Caitlin suspects, looking at the drawings, but immediately understands everything when Vai starts singing.
3. Vai is not particularly killed, but hums melodies.
4. And the finale, we were shown the ship from episode 1 of season 1, on which Powder wanted to fly, and according to the drawings there are exits to their parking lots.
yes, but it doesn't make any sense tbh:
1. she got grabbed by Warwick, no way she broke lose
2. it would have been the perfect ending for her character arc
3. she tried to off herself right after Silco monologue
@@JustCauseFan
1. She held his face like that, he didn't even resist.
2. The ending is almost emotionless and very banal. This is not the ending for Jinx.
3. After a personal conversation with Ekko 🍌💕, she could change her mind.😅
@@uyda110 1. he did hold and scream at her and additionally attacked Vi without mercy, Viktor deleted his being, there's no way he would conveniently be sentient at this moment
2. emotionless? i cried, because it completed her arc if you think about it and what happened (Isha death, Vander death, her being a criminal atoning for her sins)
3. we only saw a few lines, there is no way a suicidal person in a state of mind like Jinx would just change her mind like that
I just say with all information we have her just leaving makes not much sense, it's probably more like they want her alive for future content
I commented this before, dont remember if it was this Chanel but .. ppl wanted this Show ended up with a closed finale for the characters.. it was not gonna happen simply because there are characters in this serie that are involved in other stories😅, the only thing we gonna get kinda resolved was the conflict between the Piltover and Zaun.
This my first video of you guys, its so fun, you gave genuine reaction, and I really worry with you at end, you both seems devastated, really hope you okay 😅
Anyway, I also believe Jinx is escape and at another plane to somewhere else, maybe demacia, meeting lux haha
we’re okay because Jinx is alive
I'm sure you have seen others talking about Jinx's possible survival. Many people are comparing this to the Isha case, where everyone was hoping she was alive. It's not the same, because there wasn't anything hinting that Isha survived. But with Jinx, there's quite a few things that point to her likely survival. Others in the comments already stated them, so I won't repeat that, but the gist of it is: I can understand both sides. If she really did die, then that's a tragic, yet beautiful end to her character arc in the show. But there's way too many things that hints the opposite. That she likely survived. Too many to just be ignored.
The way I mourned for jinx when she ‘died’ is because I just so DESPERATELY wanted her to be happy. Like, you feel so protective over her, so when she died, it felt unjust and cruel. That’s why I cried too. I just wanted her to be happy 😭
we all wanted jinx to be happy 😢, but supposedly she is still alive , so maybe we'll see her again in another series
I WAS THE LIKE that went from 999 to 1K!!!!!!!!!
king shit
I’m hoping the next series by Fortiche takes place in Noxus and surrounds their war with Ionia. A couple major yet small scenes point towards going there next… (below)
1. The Black Rose mage must be Leblanc: from the abilities to restrain with chains and make mirages, and the markings under the eyes of her cloaked form matching her character. Mel also referred to her as the “deceiver,” which is her title in-game. If we go to Noxus, we can hope to see the living weapons made by the Black Rose, like Rell and Briar :)
2. Swain (Noxian Grand General) had his ravens watching the war, and controlled one to steal a hex crystal after the war, which i think was from Jayce’s weapon being left there seeing as it had the corrupted appearance.
3. Singed revived his daughter as Orianna, however she does not regain her humanity from this revival. In his biography, he is eventually approached by a Noxian military commander to make weapons for their war with Ionia.
4. Camille also seems to be similar in technology to how Orianna turned out, so I’m intrigued to see if she’s ever brought up in the new series. Renata Glasc would also make for an amazing appearance since Zaun is reunited by the end, thus her business would be able to thrive as it does. There’s also all of the leads that Jinx left on the airship as she said she wanted to in S1E1, as well as her signature appearing at the end while we are staring at it.
Jinks is very much alive. And we may end up with Adult Powder leaping into the main universe with her own version of the z drive since she still has a number of complete crystals, and she'll be able to do it for much longer than 4 seconds. And then Powder + Jinx team up, with Vi, Ekko, Cait, Warrick, Seveka, Himerdinger, with Mel, are going to Noxus to take on the black Rose. Or more specifically LeBlanc, Vladimir, Else, and Cassiopeia until Mordekaiser is resurrected and Swain shows up...
It's only end of Vi and Jinx's story, Jinx is still alive, I'm pretty sure we're going to see her in Demacia
The only thing missing in Jinx's entrance was it should have been set to "Get Jinxed"
[Copium but possibly true]
Jinx unconfirmed alive:
1) Jinx quotes "Still don't get it, huh, sis? I'm always with you. Even when we are worlds apart." (possibly elluding to her plan to leave and taking her imaginary Silco's advice to walk away)
2) Shimmer streak prior to pink explosion (on top right of screen)
3) Possibly no body since it seems Caitlyn was holding Jinx's monkey bomb and investigating the HexGates ventilation system for possible escapes
4) During the aftermath of the war; where citizens were burning names of people in memory of, Ekko only burnt one paper possibly for Heimerdinger not for Jinx
5) The blimp/airship that flew away, Powder quotes in season 1 "one day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things." (actually the same airship/blimp as season 1 episode 1 5ish minutes in)
[Hopes in sequel/spinoff]
1) Since Jinx leaves and meets Ziggs (canon in comic "Paint The Town") to travel together or live in Zigg's place in Zaun(reversed since no Heimerdinger or well Heimerdinger is back in Bandle City)
2) We could visit Ionia since we already established Noxus, the Trifarix doctrine(Swain, Darius, and possibly Le Blanc), hinting Swain's 3 eyed raven, maybe they can talk about the Noxian Invasion of Ionia (Canon in league timeline)
I think the only thing I am very sad is how the most happy one turns out to be Singe. Everyone lost someone and have consequences be it happy. Like bloody Singe got his daughter back and got to live his life. Hahahaha
Regarding the whole "is she/is she not dead" debate...I believe she escaped at the last second and took that blimp ride she talked about in the first episode to some other part of Runeterra. It was even foreshadowed in Act 2 when Jinx was talking to Silco's chair about how if he's really gone, then there is nothing more left for her in Zaun. Some people prefer that she had died, and that's fine, but I don't think it cheapens anything if she faked her death and left Piltover/Zaun. The only thing that would cheapen it for me is if they create another series with her in a main or supporting role. As much as I love Jinx as a character, I think this gave her and Vi a perfect conclusion to their story.
on tuesday they releasing a teaser on a show they are working on thats also in the world of arcane .....just not zaun and piltover......in the mean time league of legends has so much cinematics that could get you to understand more on the world of Runeterra (thats the world where arcane is) there are jinx stuff and more cait and vi and other epic vids
i’ve been looking for info on this but couldn’t find anything ☹️
I believe in the Jinx is alive theories (so much lines up with it being right) so the most emotional scene for me in the finale was Ekko sitting alone at the outlook spot. Such a beautiful place to end his character.
In the game he has a line that says "I used to have a crush on you, before you started talking to your guns..." so when he came to the parallel universe he got to meet the powder he had a crush on. You could tell how much better he had it there. But he knew he had to *sacrifice* (the main theme of this act) his happiness to save his friends. In the end he got that but he ended up alone once more. Actual psychopaths whoever wrote Ekko's story.
It's such a beautiful character, that season 2 episode 7 (Ekko Heimerdinger Alt Universe) instantly became my favorite of the show. It's such a happy episode even though it's filled with dread and despair. Thinking about Ekko and Powder dancing together is just so fucking painful. Ekko did not deserve to end up alone, but that is the moral of the story of arcane. Bad things happen to good people.
they reiterated that Arcane itself was always planned for 2 seasons, but they've been dodgy about what comes next
what we do know is that they're very interested in exploring other regions of Runeterra, and there were plenty of loose ends to suggest that's certainly on the horizon
personally i'm hoping we'll be seeing Demacia/Ionia/Noxus
i don't think Piltover&Zaun is done on arcane, there are a lot of piltover and Zaun characters missing . Especially due to the fact that in comparison to the League of Legends Piltover&Zaun lore it shouldn't be finished here :D , but who knows ^^' (I mean they probably changed it for arcane, but ngl to much characters are missing here ^^' ) .
I think we will get at least one more season of this part of Runeterra ^^
Why didn't Viktor stop himself instead of testing all these alternate timelines trying to get someone else to do it?
I need the name of the damn sad ost playing at the end😭
channel intro 🔥🔥🔥
What peak exists anymore 😭🥲
Btw.. Noxus,Ionia and Demacia on the table.. for next stories.
👀
My boy ekko clutch 1v5 viktor with that R ultimate nexus
"Kill your mother!"
Im dying of laughter
They give waay to many hints that Jinx is alive it's not even subtle lol. I think the ending is kinda empty. didn't really hook me as much as S1
Singed save his daughter
Ekko Lost Jinx
That is me to I do not know if Jayce and viktor are alive or not and I believe that they will come back. The first one of the duo to come back though will be Jayce because I believe that since viktor got his humanity back and is hextech enhanced he is going g to bring back sky and they will make up and possibly confess their love for one another because they need to make up. I also was sad that Mel did not have a reaction for Jayce and everything I mean do they know if they died or not it was weird. Also for jinx and Warwick I believe that they are still alive and for Heimerdinger from the lord there race is immortal and plus he is also liked and funny and so I believe that he will come back ask well. I would be crazy if we get a movie or a series with all of the regions facing off against the void or the gods this would be insane.
8:00 Maddie changing from being against Ambessa's invasion and supporting Catlin to straight up wanting to killing Cait feels underdeveloped and rushed to me (and kind of out of character for Maddie imo). Rewatching her former scenes at the start of the season hurts to watch now regarding what happened to her character.
8:43 Also, Jinx here look similar to Spider-Gwen in her Venom form which is pretty cool imo.
15:38 Invincible is another great animated show which I can recommend watching as well btw.
yeah, where the fuck did Maddie's betrayal come from? her death kind of saddened me because I liked her
I was watching invincible but I dropped it in season 2
She was probably lying and siding with Ambessa from the start (or at least very early on, working as a double agent, which makes Ambessas comment and callback to entanglements more relevant). People are trying really hard to find flaws and dislke this season, but this is real weak sauce
I came off as a dick here, so i apologize for that, but Maddie just lying makes more sense then it being rushed/underdeveloped
@@MrBuzzcake certainly, this season wasn't as good as the first one
@@delfinangel96 season 1 is a masterpiece so perhaps you are right, i love both. I may agree that season 1 is harder to find faults/plotholes, but season 2 is bigger and "cooler" (from a quality perspective that shouldnt matter), in my opinion season 2 may be slightly weaker, but its still a 9/10 which is better then 99% of shows the past 10 years, I and alot of people get defensive about the show, and I dont see you as a hater. I hope you enjoyed it, which it seems like you did, allthough you find flaws which is fair
A huge hidden part of my sadness is that once again a traumatized and mentally ill person is not allowed to live, to survive, to hope for a better life and future. As someone diagnosed with C-PTSD and a burnout combined with a depression, the message to me is that people like me are "worth" sacrificing because we're already suffering and longing for peace, and that hurts me the most...
Not worth sacrificing... you're life is worth everything! Jinx found Isha.. she was healing and living, learning to love again.
Jinx's culmination if life and choices is what she couldn't escape. Vi didn't give up on her. She choose to sacrifice herself for love, not hopelessness.
@@Nazz-b7p ❤
JINX IS ALIVE YALL ITS ALRIGHT
There are only conjectures, it's not like they confirm that she's really alive to shout from the rooftops "She's alive fools, the fact that no one sees it is super obvious" xD
@@ECGxX12 the clues are clear and obvious
@@ECGxX12Jinx’s purple lightning from her eyes zapping away right before the explosion goes off was the biggest indicator. Next was the fact that they showed her explosion in slow-mo and her dying multiple times when Ekko saved her, but they didn’t show it at the end. Then Caitlyn holding the monkey part while looking at the air ducts. Then Jinx’s scribble when it show’s the air ship where her first line in the show was “one day, I’m gonna ride in one of those”. Just one of those might be enough, but all of them combined is just too much to ignore.
@ yes my bad for « shouting » but there are several hints and clues that show us that she escaped and survived . She broke the cycle of violence like Silco told her and walked away , it’s not even theories atp
I've now seen a lot of fan theories surrounding Jinx's sacrifice and I'd like counter a few of the more common ones with a different point of view:
- Concerning the supposed "shimmer trail" being Jinx's escape just before the monkey bomb explodes: watch the beginning of episode 9 where Jinx tries to end it over and over with the same monkey bomb. Every explosion is preceded by purple lights, just pause it at the beginning of the explosions. Her monkey bomb is a combination of Chemtech, Hextech and Shimmer(!) ... (they clearly show that at the beginning of the scene)
- About the ending scene with Caitlyn: she's documenting what happened for future generations, completely in the Kiramman tradition using schematics and voice recording (=her monologue leading into that scene). She then smiles when she hears Vi humming and walks over to her and starts the conversation by mentioning her humming/singing. (I think it's quite a leap to conclude that Jinx escaped through the vents based on Caitlyn using schematics in the same way her mother did)
- The airship at the very end being "the airship Powder always wanted to ride": airships were previously also used to show Piltover's progress and considering what Caitlyn was talking about in her monologue voice-over at the start of the scene, that seems like an appropriate way of ending that scene. (Also: Powder/Jinx already flew on one in episode 4 season 1)
But there are lots of hints that point to Jinx still being alive, right ?!
Well there certainly are a few things that could be interpreted that way, however ...
Already in season 1 the show is telling us that Jinx is willing to kill herself (bridge scene anyone?), after that in season 2:
- they show us that after Silco died she was "already dead inside" and ready to "watch it all burn"
- they show us that she's totally OK with Vi killing her, saying "I'm glad it's you ... it had to be you"
- they show us she's extremely depressed and self harming after losing Isha and Vander
- they show us how she actually ended her life multiple times(!) while Ekko tries to save her
- they show us that she heroically sacrifices herself for Vi, smiling and hugging Warwick on the way down and blowing them both up
Saying it's "very clear" that Jinx survived makes me think that either you're in denial or just repeating what others said.
(I can think of another reason, but I'd like to remain civil 🙂)
- Fair enough, we do see a similar flash of purple light in the initial explosion, I'll give you that one.
- "Documenting events for future generations?" That would certainly make sense following an incident like that in the real world, and is probably part of Cait's job duties as Sherriff, but it also seems pretty narratively flimsy on its own. Cait is explicitly shown holding one of Jinx's devices as she looks at the ventilation system, which is right about where Jinx would have ended up in this scenario. This is a show that has never been especially clumsy or careless with minor details, and I can't imagine that wasn't intentional to allude to Jinx's possible survival.
- There are a lot of things they could have used if that's all they wanted to convey, but they chose to show the exact class or type of airship Powder declared she'd ride in flying off over open ocean (immediately followed up by an ending title card written in Jinx's art style, no less). Again, I have a hard time finding that all to be just an accident on the part of the writers/animations/storyboard artist. As for S1E04, I imagine nine year old Powder was thinking more riding off in one on some grand adventure, less stowing away in one and then blowing it up. I don't think that one really counts.
- A character killing herself after being repeatedly shown to have suicidal tendencies might be more realistic, but it would also make for a pretty flat and uninteresting character arc. A character deciding to keep living and "use all that explosive power of hers for good" (again, "walking away to break the cycle" as it were) seems much more narratively compelling, which leads me to think it's where things are eventually headed.
Anyway, accusing anyone who things it's pretty obvious as being "in denial" or "just repeating what others has said" makes me think you're either being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian, or just struggle to analyze anything beyond the most surface-level text of a work of fiction (see, I can be a dick too).
Who gets the best happy ending??
Singed...
"Kill your mother" is wild wtf
❤❤❤❤😊
Jinx is gone folks! I hate to say it because I have grown to love the character as well, but for her to somehow survive would cheapen her sacrifice and redemption story. Personally, I am happy how they ended things because it makes her arc legendary as well as Victor and Jayce’s. But hey…..if you want to continue to believe she magically escaped the explosion in mid air, while being held in a firm grasp, in order to cope….then do you!!
Explain the end credit scene then ? And jinx's main sacrifice was cutting ties with Vi so she could move on
Jinx is alive. I’m just glad there’s peace now. RIP Jayce and Victor.
RIP Loris and the other background characters
I don't think it's made super clear just how much of the main cast has died. Let's review:
Jayce, Viktor, Powder/Jinx, Vander, Ambessa, Isha, Claggor, Mylo, Marcus, ALL of the council members- including Cassandra Kiramman, Salo and Himerdinger, and everyone in Viktor's commune are ALL dead and/or disappeared
Who is alive? Vi, Caitlyn, Ecco, Sevika, Singed and Mel. THATS ALL.
6 out of a cast of 50+ characters survived the plot of arcane. That survival rate of Arcane is lower than 12%
jayce, Viktor and himerdinger are dead? and Jinx is supposedly alive
besides, you are counting very secondary characters like the council members
@ are secondary characters not characters?
I didn't felt like Viktor and Jayce died when I saw it, it felt like a teleportation.
bro why is this girl swearing so mush calm down its cringe
Never heard a reaction video with this many unnecessary f bombs. Very Interested in hearing her opinion about this amazing show but could only hear cringe profanity. She seems like a smart woman but I would absolutely love to hear her express her opinion and thoughts with a more varied vocabulary. Whatever. Bad energy. Unfollowed.
Everyone expresses themselves differently I think U need to calm down
You sound like a sensitive delicate flower. This reaction was gold
we swear a lot
