In the same with Maddie, when the bullet hits her, it gives her impact frame in a way, that her face is half covered. Just like her role. She was playing half for Caitlyn and half for Ambessa
Is it the one on the bridge? I will have to check. The problem with 1-2 impact frames like these is it's almost impossible to see unless you are focused on that moment or person or area of the screen. In anime these frames are spread out over a longer period of time so it's hard to miss.
I've seen that frame before, and I took it to imply that Viktor was already dead. Jayce was right, his partner did die in the councilor chamber. Jayce really did some necromancy (he even came back wrong pfft).
Looks to me that he broke BOTH of his shin bones. When looking at the frame, the single bone on the left is the femur and the two on the right are the tibia and fibula. It looks to me that they both broke a couple inches below the knee. Very painful and unlikely to heal right without surgery, which is why Jayce had a very pronounced limp.
A frame a specifically remember was in episode eight of season 1. When VI is first using the gauntlets, she punches one of the shimmer mechs in the chest. This shows an impact frame of the persons rib cage breaking before they fly away.
I think the impact frames used in that fight scene in S1E8 in particular were dragged out over a longer period of time for each, because they were so much more noticeable than most of the rest of the impact frames. The first time in that fight is Jayce swinging the hammer around and shattering the dude's ribcage, then the 2nd one right after he swings the hammer and it hits another guy in the leg and its just pulverized entirely. The Vi one with her smashing the guy's ribs with the gauntlet is the 3rd one that is very easy to see. They were so much easier to see I suspect they probably used 4-5 frames each for those ones compared to these ones that are like 1-2 frames each. Either that or the way the fighting is styled (where the slow-mo kicks in right before the weapon impact) makes it that much easier to look at the exact right moment to see the impact frame. For example, the first punch she connects into the thugs head tank has an impact frame when she flies across the room and lands on the bridge next to Jayce at 31:48 in S1E8. That one is soooo much quicker than the next 3 impact frames during the fight. There is actually a 4th impact frame when Jayce hits one of the thugs with the handle of his hammer when he has the thugs arm caught in close so he cant stab him with it. That one might be the quickest of them all.
i noticed basically every time there's an explosion you can see the skeleton of the character, like i was deeply traumatized when i noticed Heimder skeleton when he was fixing the time machine or Jinx skeleton when she blow herself up
@@granolabar8432 I'm guessing you're replying to me. I love cartoons and anime and some of them move me deeply but you are doing something wrong if you are being traumatized by television. We're not even talking about involuntarily seeing some gore video on the internet, but being traumatized by a couple of frames showing basically what we see in the nightmare before Christmas or some looney toons character being struck by lightning. The "edgelord" here is the one claiming to be "deeply traumatized" by something so trivial.
I saw the Jayce breaking his leg one when first watching the episode and I physically cringed. I hate being reminded that our limbs and just snap like that it makes me nauseous
@@meaganhilleary7172 dude! I sprained my ankle REALLY bad last year (fell down some stairs, Doc was surprised it wasn’t broken) and now anything like that makes me REALLY uncomfortable and affects me 10x more than it used to. I can’t even read about leg/ankle injuries anymore without squirming and moving my ankle around lol
Honestly what messes me up with Maddie's betrayal is how she aimed for Caitlyn's NECK. She fully wanted to give her a slow and painful death or just have her paralyzed and dying
I really like animated action because they can do stuff like this. In live action they often cut away from the impact when characters are fighting because there is no impact and they need to hide it. Animation can not only show you the impact but throw in little details like these impact frames that accentuate it and help you feel it that much more.
@@FallenOne669 Yknow what I'm gonna say it, animation is better than live action. I'm sure there's a few things you can do better in live action but in animation, you control literally everything, so everything does exactly what you want it to and has a better chance of getting the audience to feel exactly what you want it to.
@47ratsinahoodie Exactly. It's especially true these days, where most films are CGI fests that might as well be animation anyway. Very few films grab my attention, like an animated movie or series. The most recent example is Dune by Denis Villeneuve.
Viktor's spine broken in half is painful to look at. Maddie's smile is terrifying to look at. Arcane animators really passed through the Glorious Evolution with this series.
I know people say Viktor died in that council chamber...but he bunches his eyebrows in pain and claws at the bench. He could feel everything Jayce was doing to him.
The explanation i heard which makes a ton of sense is that while shes stoic on the outside, we learned that Mels sorceress type is an Empath. So the impact frame is Mel seeing what Maddie is truly thinking.
Not an impact frame but there are two subtle details that people miss about Maddie scene. One, she aims for the neck and not the head meaning she wants to paralyze Cait as she wants her to die drowning in her blood. And there isn’t a shield around Caitlyn but it’s around Maddie meaning she’s full intent on killing her
My favourite scene was the fight between vi and jinx where they used rigged artwork for 2 seconds and then went back to the animation. It’s so beautiful
There's a frame of little devil horns on isha in her flashbacks when she scares jinx while she had been sitting at her work bench. I'll post it on my channel for everyone here. Its sooooo cute
Another one of these scenes is when jayce hallucinated when talking to councilor Salo before killing him. The hallucination impact frame shows salo as one of viktors metal puppets, which is why jayce killed him
There’s another one when Ekko is trying to save Jinx, one of the times she activated the bomb there is one frame where we can see her bones and some of her flesh as well, Very brutal and sad for our blue hair girl 😢
Also a really sick one, atleast in the final episode, every time Caitlyn shoots her gun, there's a flashy impact frame that shows a rune circle around the gun before the projectile flies off. Genuinely so cool
It's not exactly "Blink and you'll miss it". Impact frames are meant to be felt and not seen. It's similar to smears. Smears are used to convey speed, while impact frames are used to convey, well, impact. That being said, Fortiche went extra with their impact frames having detailed illustrations inside, which we all appreciate.
Impact frames have been the best thing in animation for the last few years I swear, we got fukn One Piece going crazy with them along with lots of other high-production anime like Mob Psycho, then even 3D stuff like Arcane is using it... it sos nice to see
Cant believe you didn't include the impact frame when Vi punched berserk Vander in the tunnels with her hextech gauntlet, its legit the coolest one out of them!
I only knew the grin...and that was my first exposure to impact frames. Which makes me wonder how many there were in both seasons. And what other hit shows leveraged them. Because there's heavy symbolism in them sometimes
There’s so many more good ones of these. The singularity going critical in ep7 with the xray frames and smeech getting punched out were some of my favorites. I’m glad these got a mention.
Y E S. I was literally catching those. Slowing down and trying to stop at the right frame to have an opportunity to spot all those details. Truly a masterpiece
arcane costed 250 million. aint no anime gonna be having this kind of budget also its a completely different style that takes a long time. anime studios have their issues but many don't. there's way more good looking animes than bad. every damn season has 10 isekais with top tier animations and now even highschool animes are showing off like its a special one piece episdoe and ofc there's OP itself which somehow drops top tiers episodes nonstop despite being weakly and MAPPA and other studios are giving you top tier animes every year and not a single 9 episode series that took 6 years(3 on production) for S1 and 3 for S2. arcane cant be a standard. it literally represents the top of what animation can reach. you have 2 giants like riot and Netflix funding it and a super good studio that is fully focused on this project alone. yeah you will have studios running great shows sometimes like blue lock and 7ds but who ever gives the rights to these studios should know better than to not trust a top tier manga with a below average studio and sometimes unfortunately its a good studio that just Fs up the show for greed
@@abdalrhman7998 I wish people would stop spreading this misinformation. Arcane did not cost 250 million to make. That number includes its marketing budget too. It cost 250 million to make AND advertise
I love these lil things. One Piece is filled with them, where it shows frames of e.g. the fighting characters in the past, spoilers for the future and similar things
i like that the impact frame shows us it’s his tibia and fibula that were broken, since he makeshifts a splint for his leg. it’s much easier to splint those bones than the femur
Another set of impact frames that last a bit longer (probab half a second) are the one's in jayce and vi's fight, i absolutely love them, one of the main reasons that fight is my personal favorite
I happened to have noticed most of these, but I must have blinked during Maddies because I didn't even notice the screen go dark for a moment, and the smile def requires you to have been looking at her face instead of Cait, but I wasn't. Something for all these impact frames the animators do a great job at (and in general) is guiding the viewers eyes and with that knowledge being able to make these frames be at exactly where we're most likely looking, so that we'll notice them (assuming we don't blink lol), it's awesome!
AAOOUGHH YESS SOMEONES TALKING ABKUT THE IMPACT FRAMES IN THIS SHOW!!!! I literally was freaking and nerding out over them when i was watching it bro I love them sm😭😭
They are also, up until the last ten years or so, almost completely unheard of in western animation, way more common in video game animations and eastern animation. A neat nod to Arcane's origin as a video game and a cool way to see techniques from around the world blending.
Jayce KNEW Viktor is dead because when he lifted Viktor, he can feel his lower body disconnected and move freely, so he rushed him to the lab instead hospital, with a hope of saving Viktor.
Maddie's is extra-extra brilliant because even if you catch it, the way it's drawn lines up like a chin; however, Maddie's chin is distinctly pointed, and the lines also end up lining up higher where her mouth is right before the frame.
They put so much thought and love into this it's insane 😭😭 u really can't blink when u watch arcane, fuck it, this masterpiece is worth having dry eyes for 😂
one comment i kept making to my friends as we were watching was that ive never seen an animated piece fo work showcase weight so well when jayces hammer fell and broke his leg it actually felt real same with most of the other ones as well it just felt like it had real physics somehow
There are MANY more of these btw, might have to make a part two
Please do!! Even in this one I saw new impact frames i hadn't seen before😮
In the same with Maddie, when the bullet hits her, it gives her impact frame in a way, that her face is half covered. Just like her role. She was playing half for Caitlyn and half for Ambessa
I’m so thankful to see this the only impact frame I see ever talked about now is the one where Maddie smiles
There's another skeleton frame for Heimerdinger in ep 7
my favorite is the Caitlyn crash out, season 2 ep 2
Jinx's shattered bones when she tries blowing herself up is another really good one 😭
Was gonna say, that fraction of a second frame where you see her starting to come apart in the blast is just damn.

Viktor's broken spine is just... Man, if he survived somehow without hex-tech, it would be hard on him
His body had so many interventions 😭
Omg i didn't knew he had a broken spine too😮
It was his leg not his spine

Well, that's what I call an IMPACT frame 😂
I replayed so many times to see it, looks cool!

and when she fires you can see a twisted smile on her face
Damn if my femur was straight up snapped in half like a glow stick and I fell down a deep pit I’d just give up
Ikr!!! Jayce is stronger than me, because I would have just passed away 😭
I think it was his tibia (shin bone). Lower leg. Still terrible tho.
Man stronger than me for real😂
