I thought this could be a teaser for a another invasion on Ionia. That would explain why Irelia isnt 14 years old, karma is acually fighting, sion is in Ionia, yasuo fighting the (because it is after ther broken blade) and that riven was brought back in the Arena. It would all be explained if noxus started another invasion. The only question is: Is that second invasion canon?
Also in the cinematic you can see that on jhin's weapon there is a glowing symbol that shows what kind of bullet is in, the whole cinematic showed the blue light on the gun , but after 3 shots, the final scene showed the Red light, which is iconic for Jhin's 4th powerful shot.
Just my thought. Jhin would never go to piltover and call the attention of the most lethal assassin there without a plan. Right at the end you can see his shoulder cannon locked onto Camille, so he's probably going to wreck her day
Errrh... its all 3D Modelled. So the moustache would have some pieces which are individual and some that are a bundle. Then it would have a little movement or deformity to it. Its easier than you would think to be fair.
I'd believe it. In the second/third Ionian invasion Riven is captured by the Noxian forces and thrown into the arena during The Fleshing, Sion stays behind to secure the victory but he's stopped by Irelia, Karma, Kennen, Akali and Yasuo. Jhin boards a boat to Piltover, Camille is informed about it along with various murders of the different members of upper class families, she then goes to put a stop to it because Caitlyn is... Lazy?
Sorry Necrit, but this cinematic is definitely foreshadowing future events in the lore. This was already confirmed to be the case by a few Rioters. For the Jhin vs Camille segment, Jhin's first short story ends with him traveling to Piltover and Zaun to take out some targets assigned by the Ionian cabals. Riot August affirmed this over a year ago, when he said that Jhin would become a serious threat to Vi, Caitlyn and Camille in their duty to protect Piltover, and here we see Camille tracking down Jhin, who has probably assassinated a few wealthy, corrupt Piltover business people in the middle of a theater. Secondly, the Ionion vs Noxus battle in the cinematic shows Irelia at her current age and Sion revived as the undead juggernaut that we know him as, which implies that this is Noxus's second attempt at invading Ionia. We know this because Irelia was only 14 or so during the time of the first Noxian invasion, and that Sion wasn't revived until Swain rose to power, since Boram Darkwill was Noxus's original leader during the first invasion. Yasuo is there because he has already been forgiven after last year's Confession of a Broken blade short story, which confirmed that Ionia now knows he's innocent. So he must be helping the other Ionian champs for a personal chance to redeem his sins (all the soldiers and bounty hunters he killed while he was a wanted man.) Meanwhile, Shen isn't with Akali and Kennen because he refused to help in the fight against any future Noxian invasions and as a result, Akali and Kennen deliberately decided to leave the Kinkou Order as a response. I don't know the entire deal with Riven and Draven, but if I had to guess, Riven returned to Noxus in an effort to better the empire and rid it of its current corruption, and was immediately labeled as a war criminal on her return, since Leblanc and the Black Rose planned for her to die back in Ionia, when her blade inadvertently acted as a kind of sleeper agent, killing Yasuo's master through a self-detonated explosion. So yes, this is 100% foreshadowing future events, and maybe I'm stretching it - but I think we might even see these events unfold in Riot's upcoming game - Legends of Runeterra, which was trademarked not too long ago.
Not to mention that if Riven were labeled as such, putting her in The Fleshing (where everyone who participates ends up dead) would make sense. Draven overseeing it as the Executioner for people sentenced to die (see The Fleshing above) would naturally then go to fight Riven as the sole survivor. Giving her the sword back being a part of the showmanship he has and because The Fleshing, unlike public executions, does involve weapons, so he would want her armed (properly) for the highest stakes.
If you look closely on the last scene of him bowing, you can see the mouth of his gun is lit. means that he still has the fourth shot prepared and ready to be served. :)
@@kae1971 also the thing about vladimirs hand blades? look at the art and look at his thumb, not as curved as the thumb blade hes showing in the cinematic
The thing is, it is possible that this Cinematic represents the near future We can see this by the fact that Sion is in Ionia (''revived'' by Swain and used as a weapon to win the war that Darkwill couldn't, for unknown purpose, because Swain tought Darkwill's ambitions on Ionia to be futile), Irelia fighting against Noxus in older age (the age she is right now on League's Lore), with the help of Akali and Kennen (who don't follow Shen anymore, as he wants to let the balance decide fate for itself and is opposed to fighting Noxus) and even Karma, who refused to fight in the first invasion and is roasted by Irelia because of this in her interactions, and probably changed her mind after seeing all the damage that Noxus has caused and how fighting back resulted in something good. Considering that the cinematic is in the near future, a scenario in wich Riven is captured and imprisoned because of ''treason'' and fights alongside other gladiators with a renewed purpose is way possible - perhaps even the most probable thing to happen, since Riven would certainly fight for the people who forgave her and granted her a new home. This covers also the detail of why is Yasuo fightning, since it is a new war, with a new, more wise and more powerful enemy (Swain as he is now and Darius of course) with more powerful weapons (Sion). It would not be easy to bring him to the fight, but would be possible, as Ionia is in need of powerful combatants to defend it and people who didn't fought before are doing so now. So, the thing to understand that this cinematic is cannon is to look forward, and not to what's happening now, in the lore - of course, that is if we consider that Riot is FINALLY moving forward instead of just showing us fights on the day-a-day of the champs
While teasing for Ashe: Warmother, Riot announced that next comics would develop into the future of Runeterra instead of just showing past backgrounds of what happened n stuff. So yea, this being in near future is highly possible.
T-T, the lol organization is long gone. I hope they give them a write out atleast. I miss the original lore. All the champs were celebrities and summoners being political figures.
4:58 I dont think that its Vlad's claws, there's some weapons just in this shape, I think that the other seat is just for other gladiator that uses it in combat
Necrit is good, but he deserves no respect for obviously missing the point this is the future, and John was released and started doing assassin jobs. So Camille is there because he must have affected the Ferros family.
A Rioter (Lore Writer) twitted that this are future events, Noxus second attempt on invading Ionia, what would make possible for riven to be at the arena, the scene where she drops her chain shows that she isn't tied to the Noxian Army anymore, that she fights against it, what would make even more sense to see Draven (and Darius) so glad about this event. And if it is in the future, Yasuo could be back to fight, as he found some sort of peace within him or something like it. But i'm not sure about any of this.
*After the Battle* Irelia: Nice moves Yas-...wait...THAT'S THE KILLER! GET HIM! Yasuo: No wai- Kennen, Akali, and Irelia: *LOUD SCREAMING* Karma: Did they not get the news? Yasuo: Probably not! *running away*
Whole Arena scene can be part of Rivens execution . You know she is kept on chain so she can't run away from other gladiators so she can be killed by them . That can explain why all Arena is full and thats for reason they annouced execution of well know deserter . Then Draven leap from his seat with his weapons drawned . He is the main exectioner . In his lore he execute people ,,with style'' that's why he jumped down . He is gonna execute her so he can again entertain people and again ,,shine'' . I think those scenes are from future event . Sion in Ionia can be Swains idea because he is literally unkillable war machine and he want to test it in Ionia for future battles against Demacia . In Jhins case why he is in Piltover can be explained by his quotes in whitch he refers that he is Killer for hire . Taunt towards champion from nexus he says : ,,I've been asked to do so many boring performances in your nation'' so he was just payed to make Camille ,,beautiful'' on stage . Sorry for my grammar I just rushed to write my opinion about this :) Peace
if Draven wanted to execute Riven, he would've just left her defenseless and do it right away. But he didn't - instead, he gave her her weapon and freed her from her chains just so he could have a fair battle with her.
@@alexbratkov4086 & OP If Riven were captured and labeled as a deserter/war criminal, putting her in The Fleshing (where everyone who participates ends up dead) would make sense.

when irelia fought against noxus, she was a child, and in the cinematic she is not. Could this be a teaser of whats gonna happen? another ionian invasion perhaps...
some people are not considering this, the traps are standard bombs that explode u to pieces but they also have type of colourful smoke along with them that goes off during the explosion. This means that it doesn’t have to be some crazy theory and you can say that they are literal bombs that also have a smoke cell which is released along with the explosion
@@legenwing6115 do not compare Jhin with Pyro. I love Jhin and all of his characteristics but I hate the Pyro so much (of course due to his in game mechanics) >:(
it's super interesting watching this a couple years later because now, with the sentinels of light event, you see that the scene with draven and riven is actually canon - we meet her in the cells of draven's fighting pit and then later escape with senna, lucian, and vayne. it was some really excellent foreshadowing on riot's part
I thought it was weird seeing Yasou join the fight, but after thinking it over, it could be possible, Ionia after all isn't a unified nation. Many of its villages are isolated similar to feudal Japan with every community with their own beliefs and culture. As a wandering fugitive perhaps he noticed the incoming invasion and ensuing conflict and decided to temporarily step in and help, especially as a skilled swordsman he could not stand idle by and watch blood be spilled and perhaps in doing so he can atone for his past negligence
Necrit maybe is something in the future, it seems that people believe everything is happening in histories that will be canon in the future, it could be that noxians are invading ionia again and in the invasion the village in which riven lives was already destroyed and riven was captured, that could be to the reason yasuo is with the ionians. And because everything is in the future nothing in the cinematic is concluded.
It's since been confirmed that the Jhin and Riven scenes are canon. The Jhin scene is directly referenced in the Zed comic and while there is no direct reference to the Rivan scene, we do know that Noxus continued hunting Riven even after the Noxian invasion of Ionia and Riven eventually surrendered herself to Noxus to prevent anymore bloodshed. She was then brought back to Noxus and tried for desertion. This may be her sentence since we do know that execution via gladiatorial deathmatch is a sentence given to Noxian criminals.
about irelia, she was 12 when the first war happened, and now she is 19-20, so this is swin second invasion, wich would explain why sion is here, as for yasuo, a chance to fight in a war is the best chance he can get for redemption, don't forget that yasuo is not looking for forgivness, he seec redemption on it's own, and protecting he contry insted of his late master is the best way. as for riven, she did say that she wented to rebuild noxus to it's former glory in her old lore, maybe that lore is not complietly redconned, and she went back in an atemp to make her dream true. as for jin and camille... idk... i belive this cinematique is ether like you said, not cannon, or it is in the futur, after all jhin was escaping from ionia i his lore with zed and shen, so maybe he sucsseded and is now in piltover, showing of his art.
@@HuyDragon61760 no he was used to kill noxian generals and military men in ionia, and it was barly a promis nothing more, he is not bound by it exept by word, and once he killed his targets he was free to leave ionia, wich he was trying to do when zed and shen tryed to intersept him, if this video is cannon and is set in the futur, then zed and shen failed (probably lost some disiple) and jhin whent from ionia, probably to noxus then to piltover since these 2 are just next to each other. but then again, the riven part is weard since we know riven is broken and don't wanna fight ever again, tho the irelia part does make sence with swain preparing another invasion in his lore, and sion being there can happen, yasuo, karma and akali too make sence but kennen is folowing shen, and shen is against fighting, unless he was sent by shen to help out akali or he did it on his own to protect his disiple.
one extra from Natsu right down here, if noxus did invade ionia agin, then they might have recaptured riven, and as a traitor with skill she was sent to die in the arena, where she faugh again DRAAAVEN!! hope she beat him good...
@@merouanebelaroussi9706 in shen's lore, he is still fighting his the emotions as being a true neutral. So kennen's arrival means that kinkou order is dismissed and shen now hunting zed for revenge?
jhin works as a type of mercenary and camille’s family has a dark past. It could be some story that we don’t know about camille. Nothing personal between cam and jhin necessarily
damn darius cheering for draven is such a cool detail and it's really heartwarming to know that you know darius loves draven in a sense and that he also has feelings and stuff
Years later we see the revelation revealed! In the sentinels of light event, Riven is in the cells of Draven's fighting pit and then later escapes with Senna, Lucian, and Vayne.
They really could do an amazing twist with the Camille and Jhin story. The story would be told by Camille's point of view that way we can see how brutally and bloody the soldiers die while how beautiful Jhin sees it.
There is a way in which the cinematic could be canon. 1.- Necrit assumes the cinematic is showing the first Ionian invasion. I think this is a completely new invasion of Ionia. We see Irelia using her blades (an ability she learned during the invasion), Sion is there (who was not resurrected until after the invasion), and the Kinkou are in the fight, Yasuo could be trying to earn redemption fighting the noxians. It could be a simple raid instead of a full-on invasion though. 2.- The Arena scene is showcasing a point in Riven's past. Before the (first) invasion of Ionia. The only point in time this could have to happen is in the past. That said Riven's sword poses a problem as it was supposed to be crafted specifically for Riven, what could have happen is that the blade was broken before, it was repaired for Riven and she broke the blade again. So I think this cinematic could be trying to confuse us by showing 3 unrelated scenes and different points in time, the arena (past), the theater (present), Ionia (future)
2nd reason sunk. I'm pretty sure noxus might have won that battle. Or atleast maybe have destroyed the village wherein riven lives. And it would be expected riven would fight. So she was probably captured and now a part of fleshing
While I agree, I think the Riven factor occurs at the same time as the second invasion. She may have been captured again and taken back to the Arena. Her sword was whole until the events after the first Ionian invasion due to her meeting with Yasuo's master in the broken blade series. I think it makes sense to be after, but again these are all theories.
My first thought regarding riven was that it tied into the events happening in ionia, its quite possible during this invasion (with sion leading) they captured riven and attempted to make an example out of her.
Not to mention that if Riven were recovered and labeled as a deserter, putting her in The Fleshing (where everyone who participates ends up dead) would make sense. Draven overseeing it as the Executioner for people sentenced to die (see The Fleshing above) would naturally then go to fight Riven as the sole survivor. Giving her the sword back being a part of the showmanship he has and because The Fleshing, unlike public executions, does involve weapons, so he would want her armed (properly) for the highest stakes.
17:57 bullets went through their body creating a hole that look like roses and jhin an imaginative person imagines them as flowers instead of gun shot wounds maybe his not a mad man maybe he just see the world differently he thinks his gun is a paintbrush that always makes roses everytime he uses it and those people he shoot are his canvass as he keep using his gun he keeps killing and killing so that maybe his “paintbrush” create something different
This video is canon. It is confirmed by multiple writers on Twitter. Ariel Lavrence, the head of narrative, said that she is "very excited to dig into these stories." and Philip Vargas said "We'll be exploring these stories in the future"
Sion Rework was one of the first Lore changes to fit into the new league-verse, also in his Lore, his first death, when he killed Jarvan 1 was generations before he was reworked. Hes titled as a Warhero of an bygone Era, so his Rework trailer/teaser shows the resurection of his Body in his Mausoleum. After that trailer the new Lore was published and while he was dead that long time, he probably suffered some braindamage (would explain his incomplete sentences and words in his lore). So chronologically it must be like -> Kill Jarv. 1., Died, buried for 50+ Years, gets resurected by swain (who was wounded in the battle of ionia, according to new lore).
i have a theory about the bracelet blades that u saw on the wall behind draven i believe that it belongs to nocturne before he became the thing he is now i believe he was human whom lived in noxus and something happened to him maybe in someway transfered him to the spirit realm where he changed forms maybe he went mad after entering the spirits world cuz he does sound like a mad in the game and he found a way to take a form in the material world and terrorize people cuz nocturne uses the same weapon and no other character do so and i don't believe it's a new champion teaser also it may be some random model they used
LegenWing Nocturne’s blades run more along where his forarms would’ve been if he were still human though so I’m not sure about that. Cool thought though
Nocturne is about to receive a full rework soon so they may be teasing that instead of a shade of unknown origin Nocturne may be now a victim of Singed's experiments - just like Warwick.
Except in theory nocturne is Zeds shadow, when zed became who is he a part of him was ripped away, you can also back this up by nocturne and zeds voice lines and their emotes and jokes, and its been hinted at since 2014 during Q and A's dunno they never Confirmed it but its been a solid possibility for a long time and zed did use arm blades during his training under his master, before taking up the famous assassins hidden blade he currently uses now
Honestly, this is like my 3rd video watching you. I have played this game so much, but having someone able to explain the lore from videos and just facts in general is so nice. I'll read the lore but sometimes I can't read it all. And some is hard to understand. Thank you for these videos! :D
Riven was super young when she was enlisted. And they gifted her a full blade. When she left, she shattered it. But that would be a cool alternate story.
u didnt notice the different shades in camilles eyes. thats a hint towards her passive: a shield against the type of damage her enemies deal. first it turns to orange because thats the shield against physical damage dealt by jhin but then turns blue because there is the presence of magic.
No lol he closes the piano lid in the shot before Draven jumps down, then he just spins around as he stands to shoot because he loves the flair of spinning to stand up. His hands if they are even still touching the piano in the motion he draws with are just running along the piano lid, it doesn’t move.
Noxus, Piltover, Ionia... But where is Demacia? Thoose 4 are the most important zones in Runeterra. Maybe Demacia is destroyed by the Sylas's revolution?
Something to notice about the talons next to the bladed bracer, that's a full glove not just finger blades meaning it could also be a reference to a new champion
Hey necrit, I was wondering after my like 5th watch why there is an Vlad claw thingy next to rivens blade behind draven. Did draven betray Vlad? Because that doesn't really seem possible. Or is it something similar? Edit: well never mind you covered it already, wrote the comment before watching. Edit2, maybe jhin is blind on one eye, because you can always just see one. And maybe you know someone in lore with one eye?
I believe it was stated in Necrit's vid on Jhin's lore that Jhin wears a kind of black thing under his mask that covers one eye and restricts his breathing. Think it was to make a "better performance" as Jhin sees it that way. The one eye is covered to take away his depth perception. I could be wrong though.
I dont actually think its Vladimirs claws, there are only 3 visible, but vlad has 5 and also the shape is off. They look a lot more like madreds razor (old item)
@@betterfly7398 Well, not stupid but she has an high self-esteem right ? So she could totally underestimate Jhin i guess. Plus, she probably doesn't know a lot about him since he's mostly "working" in Ionia and even there people thought for years that he was some kind of demon/monster (and a lot might still think that now that i think about it)
@@girouarddolivier2049 she does. But she would never do that. She is someone who would expect how things should go and wouldn't just go somewhere Like that. The second she sees traps she would be very cautious and do something else other than engaging on him.
@@betterfly7398 I can understand that but the truth is, she doesn't have any other option. I mean, there are traps and soldiers exploding everywhere around her and the only way to escape for her is to go for Jhin and kill him where he stands (exactly as he planned it and that's why he bows - not to her but to his imaginary audience - because everything is going according to his plan ) But hey, maybe it's all in his mind and nothing ever happend
@@girouarddolivier2049 I meant, she wouldn't her self go there. Anyway this is all non canon, non of it is confirmed and could be just for "Hype" purposes because it was very hype.
I watched the cinematic and had so many questions about the Draven/Riven interaction. UA-cam autoplay brought your video up right after it :) I'll watch this and be educated!
The TL:DR would be that if Riven were recaptured in the future, there's a high likelihood that rather than being executed on the spot, she'd be sentenced to die in The Fleshing, for public viewing, since she was a deserter and war-criminal. Draven would be set to oversee it since his job is to ensure that those sentenced to death meet their maker. Draven also never fails at doing his job.
I think i can see Azir and Urgot in the Arena too . In the scene you reveal Darius , Swain and Leblanc , they are in the left corner standing silent !!
I believe that there is actually some magic to Jhin's traps. As you can se when Cam is walking down the isle her eyes turn from blue to orange and back to blue referencing her passive with her adaptive shields, kind of as if she feels the sudden rush of magic and quickly changes her defences, but the first time she walks into the theater her eyes are blue. It's can be that the traps are magical or there is something else happening "behind the curtain". it's a split second detail with the orange eyes bit very obvious once you notice it
"If you zoom in really close, you can see this pixel here. It's a green pixel, you know what that means right? Yeah that's Teemo."
Draven and Riven can team up on this one

They made the cinematic so good, that while the others are really fighting, you can see yasuo farming with his q in the background.
It's so realistic!
Jhin only shot 3 shots in the end so when he bowed he still had his 4 perfect shot :)
Nice spot, Jhin probably did that intentionally since he appearently missed purposely.

As necrit said, even if Riven would be captured, she would probably be executed right the place, not even getting back to Noxus.
The writer confirmed it on Twitter.
Sorry Necrit, but this cinematic is definitely foreshadowing future events in the lore. This was already confirmed to be the case by a few Rioters.
For the Jhin vs Camille segment, Jhin's first short story ends with him traveling to Piltover and Zaun to take out some targets assigned by the Ionian cabals. Riot August affirmed this over a year ago, when he said that Jhin would become a serious threat to Vi, Caitlyn and Camille in their duty to protect Piltover, and here we see Camille tracking down Jhin, who has probably assassinated a few wealthy, corrupt Piltover business people in the middle of a theater.
Secondly, the Ionion vs Noxus battle in the cinematic shows Irelia at her current age and Sion revived as the undead juggernaut that we know him as, which implies that this is Noxus's second attempt at invading Ionia. We know this because Irelia was only 14 or so during the time of the first Noxian invasion, and that Sion wasn't revived until Swain rose to power, since Boram Darkwill was Noxus's original leader during the first invasion. Yasuo is there because he has already been forgiven after last year's Confession of a Broken blade short story, which confirmed that Ionia now knows he's innocent. So he must be helping the other Ionian champs for a personal chance to redeem his sins (all the soldiers and bounty hunters he killed while he was a wanted man.) Meanwhile, Shen isn't with Akali and Kennen because he refused to help in the fight against any future Noxian invasions and as a result, Akali and Kennen deliberately decided to leave the Kinkou Order as a response.
I don't know the entire deal with Riven and Draven, but if I had to guess, Riven returned to Noxus in an effort to better the empire and rid it of its current corruption, and was immediately labeled as a war criminal on her return, since Leblanc and the Black Rose planned for her to die back in Ionia, when her blade inadvertently acted as a kind of sleeper agent, killing Yasuo's master through a self-detonated explosion.
So yes, this is 100% foreshadowing future events, and maybe I'm stretching it - but I think we might even see these events unfold in Riot's upcoming game - Legends of Runeterra, which was trademarked not too long ago.

Easter egg on inting sion strat
The thing is, it is possible that this Cinematic represents the near future
We can see this by the fact that Sion is in Ionia (''revived'' by Swain and used as a weapon to win the war that Darkwill couldn't, for unknown purpose, because Swain tought Darkwill's ambitions on Ionia to be futile), Irelia fighting against Noxus in older age (the age she is right now on League's Lore), with the help of Akali and Kennen (who don't follow Shen anymore, as he wants to let the balance decide fate for itself and is opposed to fighting Noxus) and even Karma, who refused to fight in the first invasion and is roasted by Irelia because of this in her interactions, and probably changed her mind after seeing all the damage that Noxus has caused and how fighting back resulted in something good.
Considering that the cinematic is in the near future, a scenario in wich Riven is captured and imprisoned because of ''treason'' and fights alongside other gladiators with a renewed purpose is way possible - perhaps even the most probable thing to happen, since Riven would certainly fight for the people who forgave her and granted her a new home.
This covers also the detail of why is Yasuo fightning, since it is a new war, with a new, more wise and more powerful enemy (Swain as he is now and Darius of course) with more powerful weapons (Sion). It would not be easy to bring him to the fight, but would be possible, as Ionia is in need of powerful combatants to defend it and people who didn't fought before are doing so now.
So, the thing to understand that this cinematic is cannon is to look forward, and not to what's happening now, in the lore - of course, that is if we consider that Riot is FINALLY moving forward instead of just showing us fights on the day-a-day of the champs
It has been confirmed by the writer that this is set in the future.
It's not yet canon, but they might want to write stories about it later.
@@LORdREDSTOneNR1 got a link?
While teasing for Ashe: Warmother, Riot announced that next comics would develop into the future of Runeterra instead of just showing past backgrounds of what happened n stuff. So yea, this being in near future is highly possible.
@@LORdREDSTOneNR1 they definitely will.
T-T, the lol organization is long gone. I hope they give them a write out atleast. I miss the original lore. All the champs were celebrities and summoners being political figures.
Something I personally enjoied was how Draven threw Riven's sword at her in order for them to have a fair fight.
A good challenge. He wants a battle not a victim
Knowing Draven he doesn't want a fair fight but a spectacle
4:58 I dont think that its Vlad's claws, there's some weapons just in this shape, I think that the other seat is just for other gladiator that uses it in combat
It looks a lot more like madreds razor which is an old item if you weren't around back then.
looks like Warwics claw too
@@akaki4240 i also find ther look similar to warwicks claws
noup, i think those are rengar's blades
Its a 3 finger claw... not vlad.
Dude full full respect for the jhin theory
Necrit is good, but he deserves no respect for obviously missing the point this is the future, and John was released and started doing assassin jobs. So Camille is there because he must have affected the Ferros family.
what do you mean sion 1v5ing not canon thats closest to ingame lore you can get
Darius doesn't cheer Draven becuz hes making a great battle.
He was shouting says " Don't throw those blades, SWING IT damn8".
A Rioter (Lore Writer) twitted that this are future events, Noxus second attempt on invading Ionia, what would make possible for riven to be at the arena, the scene where she drops her chain shows that she isn't tied to the Noxian Army anymore, that she fights against it, what would make even more sense to see Draven (and Darius) so glad about this event. And if it is in the future, Yasuo could be back to fight, as he found some sort of peace within him or something like it. But i'm not sure about any of this.
Griphan L you could say that despite all, yasuo’s sense of duty kicks in again and he returns to the fight regardless of what people might think
Do you have a link?
His name is Phillip something.. i can't quite remember.@@Maletizer
Yasuo was neved rlly seeking peace for himself. But to redeem himself and to proove he was NOT the one who killed his Elder master
*After the Battle*
Irelia: Nice moves Yas-...wait...THAT'S THE KILLER! GET HIM!
Yasuo: No wai-
Kennen, Akali, and Irelia: *LOUD SCREAMING*
Karma: Did they not get the news?
Yasuo: Probably not! *running away*
jhin was like :
ART IS EXPLOSION
jhin confirmed next akatski
Explosion is art
Michael Bay?

"But, enough about Draven..."
Draven disliked.
Ther can never be said enough.
Jhin's perfectionism is on point! Love that champion's personanlity. I can almost hear him saying, "this is my design" when he bow down.
The moment when you ruin 444 likes jhin mains '' inhale''
4444 is even worse
I'll keep this comment at 44 likes then. :D
It's so they can get 4444, or 4 repeated 4 times.
And now you have 4 replies

Sion vs Ionian force = Thanos vs Avengers, hmmmmmm
Whole Arena scene can be part of Rivens execution . You know she is kept on chain so she can't run away from other gladiators so she can be killed by them . That can explain why all Arena is full and thats for reason they annouced execution of well know deserter . Then Draven leap from his seat with his weapons drawned . He is the main exectioner . In his lore he execute people ,,with style'' that's why he jumped down . He is gonna execute her so he can again entertain people and again ,,shine'' . I think those scenes are from future event . Sion in Ionia can be Swains idea because he is literally unkillable war machine and he want to test it in Ionia for future battles against Demacia . In Jhins case why he is in Piltover can be explained by his quotes in whitch he refers that he is Killer for hire . Taunt towards champion from nexus he says : ,,I've been asked to do so many boring performances in your nation'' so he was just payed to make Camille ,,beautiful'' on stage . Sorry for my grammar I just rushed to write my opinion about this :) Peace
Sure ill read all that
if Draven wanted to execute Riven, he would've just left her defenseless and do it right away. But he didn't - instead, he gave her her weapon and freed her from her chains just so he could have a fair battle with her.
@@alexbratkov4086 But Draven loves showing how great he is. He also enjoys creating shows, which he did when he gave his victim equal chances
@@alexbratkov4086 & OP If Riven were captured and labeled as a deserter/war criminal, putting her in The Fleshing (where everyone who participates ends up dead) would make sense. Draven overseeing it as the Executioner for people sentenced to die (see The Fleshing above) would naturally then go to fight Riven as the sole survivor. Giving her the sword back being a part of the showmanship he has and because The Fleshing, unlike public executions, does involve weapons, so he would want her armed (properly) for the highest stakes.
i'm so happy that this whole thing is here because i was thinking exactly this.
when irelia fought against noxus, she was a child, and in the cinematic she is not.
Could this be a teaser of whats gonna happen? another ionian invasion perhaps...
Conclusion: jhin is on drugs
jhin is the pyro from tf2
LegenWing holy shit, yes! He’s like pyro’s more sinister brother
@@legenwing6115 reminded me as well, though pyro sees the world as more "happier" lol
some people are not considering this, the traps are standard bombs that explode u to pieces but they also have type of colourful smoke along with them that goes off during the explosion. This means that it doesn’t have to be some crazy theory and you can say that they are literal bombs that also have a smoke cell which is released along with the explosion
@@legenwing6115 do not compare Jhin with Pyro. I love Jhin and all of his characteristics but I hate the Pyro so much (of course due to his in game mechanics) >:(
it's super interesting watching this a couple years later because now, with the sentinels of light event, you see that the scene with draven and riven is actually canon - we meet her in the cells of draven's fighting pit and then later escape with senna, lucian, and vayne. it was some really excellent foreshadowing on riot's part
I thought it was weird seeing Yasou join the fight, but after thinking it over, it could be possible, Ionia after all isn't a unified nation. Many of its villages are isolated similar to feudal Japan with every community with their own beliefs and culture. As a wandering fugitive perhaps he noticed the incoming invasion and ensuing conflict and decided to temporarily step in and help, especially as a skilled swordsman he could not stand idle by and watch blood be spilled and perhaps in doing so he can atone for his past negligence
Necrit maybe is something in the future, it seems that people believe everything is happening in histories that will be canon in the future, it could be that noxians are invading ionia again and in the invasion the village in which riven lives was already destroyed and riven was captured, that could be to the reason yasuo is with the ionians. And because everything is in the future nothing in the cinematic is concluded.
Riot already stated in the forum, those event happen in the futur.
It's since been confirmed that the Jhin and Riven scenes are canon. The Jhin scene is directly referenced in the Zed comic and while there is no direct reference to the Rivan scene, we do know that Noxus continued hunting Riven even after the Noxian invasion of Ionia and Riven eventually surrendered herself to Noxus to prevent anymore bloodshed. She was then brought back to Noxus and tried for desertion. This may be her sentence since we do know that execution via gladiatorial deathmatch is a sentence given to Noxian criminals.
about irelia, she was 12 when the first war happened, and now she is 19-20, so this is swin second invasion, wich would explain why sion is here, as for yasuo, a chance to fight in a war is the best chance he can get for redemption, don't forget that yasuo is not looking for forgivness, he seec redemption on it's own, and protecting he contry insted of his late master is the best way.
as for riven, she did say that she wented to rebuild noxus to it's former glory in her old lore, maybe that lore is not complietly redconned, and she went back in an atemp to make her dream true. as for jin and camille... idk...
i belive this cinematique is ether like you said, not cannon, or it is in the futur, after all jhin was escaping from ionia i his lore with zed and shen, so maybe he sucsseded and is now in piltover, showing of his art.
@@HuyDragon61760 no he was used to kill noxian generals and military men in ionia, and it was barly a promis nothing more, he is not bound by it exept by word, and once he killed his targets he was free to leave ionia, wich he was trying to do when zed and shen tryed to intersept him, if this video is cannon and is set in the futur, then zed and shen failed (probably lost some disiple) and jhin whent from ionia, probably to noxus then to piltover since these 2 are just next to each other. but then again, the riven part is weard since we know riven is broken and don't wanna fight ever again, tho the irelia part does make sence with swain preparing another invasion in his lore, and sion being there can happen, yasuo, karma and akali too make sence but kennen is folowing shen, and shen is against fighting, unless he was sent by shen to help out akali or he did it on his own to protect his disiple.
one extra from Natsu right down here, if noxus did invade ionia agin, then they might have recaptured riven, and as a traitor with skill she was sent to die in the arena, where she faugh again DRAAAVEN!! hope she beat him good...
@@merouanebelaroussi9706 in shen's lore, he is still fighting his the emotions as being a true neutral. So kennen's arrival means that kinkou order is dismissed and shen now hunting zed for revenge?
jhin works as a type of mercenary and camille’s family has a dark past. It could be some story that we don’t know about camille. Nothing personal between cam and jhin necessarily
@@merouanebelaroussi9706 Draven has a perfect execution rate.
@Necrit my guy you should prolly update this now that basically this whole Cinematic is in fact canon.
damn darius cheering for draven is such a cool detail and it's really heartwarming to know that you know darius loves draven in a sense and that he also has feelings and stuff
Years later we see the revelation revealed! In the sentinels of light event, Riven is in the cells of Draven's fighting pit and then later escapes with Senna, Lucian, and Vayne.
"The place is all over the place."
-Necrit 2019
"So now we have inting Sion versus the entire enemy team."
THAT HAT THO...I NEED IT
Jhins bullets are infused with pieces of his soul. "I wanted to feel everything, the gun makes it so i can..."
They really could do an amazing twist with the Camille and Jhin story. The story would be told by Camille's point of view that way we can see how brutally and bloody the soldiers die while how beautiful Jhin sees it.
i feel like those weapons in the beginning are just random talons
There is a way in which the cinematic could be canon.
1.- Necrit assumes the cinematic is showing the first Ionian invasion. I think this is a completely new invasion of Ionia. We see Irelia using her blades (an ability she learned during the invasion), Sion is there (who was not resurrected until after the invasion), and the Kinkou are in the fight, Yasuo could be trying to earn redemption fighting the noxians. It could be a simple raid instead of a full-on invasion though.
2.- The Arena scene is showcasing a point in Riven's past. Before the (first) invasion of Ionia. The only point in time this could have to happen is in the past. That said Riven's sword poses a problem as it was supposed to be crafted specifically for Riven, what could have happen is that the blade was broken before, it was repaired for Riven and she broke the blade again.
So I think this cinematic could be trying to confuse us by showing 3 unrelated scenes and different points in time, the arena (past), the theater (present), Ionia (future)
Another is that the triumfirex was not formed prior the first invasion. It was after
2nd reason sunk. I'm pretty sure noxus might have won that battle. Or atleast maybe have destroyed the village wherein riven lives. And it would be expected riven would fight. So she was probably captured and now a part of fleshing
While I agree, I think the Riven factor occurs at the same time as the second invasion. She may have been captured again and taken back to the Arena. Her sword was whole until the events after the first Ionian invasion due to her meeting with Yasuo's master in the broken blade series. I think it makes sense to be after, but again these are all theories.
Is it just me, or are the scenes of Camille so BADASS
Yasuo the Minion Killer
"yasuo doesn't trust people to trust him"
Haha. That is so true lol.
And I'm not talking about lore.
Oh boy, last time i was this early, league was not a k-pop game
14:19 that's really cool, cause in wild rift right now, Swain and Darius really sit beside each other on the comics in Noxian Brothers Event
6:14 I think that's just the Jaurim's Fist item. It has that vertical blade on it like you were talking about.
I love how u mentioned all the details! Appreciating Rito's hard work! thank youuu
6:58 Draven spams his mastery emote as always
a cool detail you missed is that after riven gave a headbutt to draven his nose started bleeding
My first thought regarding riven was that it tied into the events happening in ionia, its quite possible during this invasion (with sion leading) they captured riven and attempted to make an example out of her.
Not to mention that if Riven were recovered and labeled as a deserter, putting her in The Fleshing (where everyone who participates ends up dead) would make sense. Draven overseeing it as the Executioner for people sentenced to die (see The Fleshing above) would naturally then go to fight Riven as the sole survivor. Giving her the sword back being a part of the showmanship he has and because The Fleshing, unlike public executions, does involve weapons, so he would want her armed (properly) for the highest stakes.
17:57 bullets went through their body creating a hole that look like roses and jhin an imaginative person imagines them as flowers instead of gun shot wounds maybe his not a mad man maybe he just see the world differently he thinks his gun is a paintbrush that always makes roses everytime he uses it and those people he shoot are his canvass as he keep using his gun he keeps killing and killing so that maybe his “paintbrush” create something different
This video is canon. It is confirmed by multiple writers on Twitter. Ariel Lavrence, the head of narrative, said that she is "very excited to dig into these stories." and Philip Vargas said "We'll be exploring these stories in the future"
Wasn't there a frame where you can see Vladimer in a prison cell in the Opera house? Maybe you need to look again my friend!
I just want a league based mmo. Damn it, it would be so damn fun!
Sion Rework was one of the first Lore changes to fit into the new league-verse, also in his Lore, his first death, when he killed Jarvan 1 was generations before he was reworked. Hes titled as a Warhero of an bygone Era, so his Rework trailer/teaser shows the resurection of his Body in his Mausoleum. After that trailer the new Lore was published and while he was dead that long time, he probably suffered some braindamage (would explain his incomplete sentences and words in his lore). So chronologically it must be like -> Kill Jarv. 1., Died, buried for 50+ Years, gets resurected by swain (who was wounded in the battle of ionia, according to new lore).
i have a theory about the bracelet blades that u saw on the wall behind draven
i believe that it belongs to nocturne before he became the thing he is now i believe he was human whom lived in noxus and something happened to him maybe in someway transfered him to the spirit realm where he changed forms maybe he went mad after entering the spirits world cuz he does sound like a mad in the game and he found a way to take a form in the material world and terrorize people
cuz nocturne uses the same weapon and no other character do so and i don't believe it's a new champion teaser also it may be some random model they used
LegenWing Nocturne’s blades run more along where his forarms would’ve been if he were still human though so I’m not sure about that. Cool thought though
Nocturne is about to receive a full rework soon so they may be teasing that instead of a shade of unknown origin Nocturne may be now a victim of Singed's experiments - just like Warwick.
Except in theory nocturne is Zeds shadow, when zed became who is he a part of him was ripped away, you can also back this up by nocturne and zeds voice lines and their emotes and jokes, and its been hinted at since 2014 during Q and A's dunno they never Confirmed it but its been a solid possibility for a long time and zed did use arm blades during his training under his master, before taking up the famous assassins hidden blade he currently uses now
@@ripLunarBirdCLH the only problem in this is that nocturne has nothing to do with chemtech
That first shot when Jhin only played 3 notes on the piano triggered me
So Swain WAS actually in the cinematic. And here I thought they chose Sion to represent the Noxian army instead
Honestly, this is like my 3rd video watching you. I have played this game so much, but having someone able to explain the lore from videos and just facts in general is so nice. I'll read the lore but sometimes I can't read it all. And some is hard to understand. Thank you for these videos! :D
What If that's how riven got noticed by the noxians? In other words, that that scene scene took place before Riven being enlisted in the army.
Cool theory, but if that was the case than why was the runeblade already broken
Also riven would have been much younger. Like 12
Riven was super young when she was enlisted. And they gifted her a full blade. When she left, she shattered it. But that would be a cool alternate story.
adn no way, she was a small child. Besides, the blade is broken
@@axelpetersson5787 yeah I don't know much about Riven. It was just a thought that struck me.

Great video! I think that parts with Camille and Jhin are the best parts of this cinematic. Btw, oh yeah yeah!
1:36 "peace brackets"
im using that from now on.
u didnt notice the different shades in camilles eyes. thats a hint towards her passive: a shield against the type of damage her enemies deal. first it turns to orange because thats the shield against physical damage dealt by jhin but then turns blue because there is the presence of magic.
Did jhin stop playing the piano and close the lid, but then the next time you see him he stops playing (the already closed piano) and fires????
Yes
No lol he closes the piano lid in the shot before Draven jumps down, then he just spins around as he stands to shoot because he loves the flair of spinning to stand up. His hands if they are even still touching the piano in the motion he draws with are just running along the piano lid, it doesn’t move.
I am really thankful for you making this video even if I didn't ask for this

Great video bro. Can't wait for your Veigar lore. Keep up the good work.
Camille's eyes glowed orange in one scene. That would mean there was magic in theatre
Actually orange means AD
I thought that was her analyzing what her enemy was using, deciding if AD or AP.
Noxus, Piltover, Ionia... But where is Demacia? Thoose 4 are the most important zones in Runeterra. Maybe Demacia is destroyed by the Sylas's revolution?

This comment is old but he is talking about TBSkyen. He has really detailed reviews on league animations and characters.
I love listening to your voice man 👍🏾
What if all of these things will happen in the future?
It's so cool that Camille vs Jhin was shown from Jhin's twisted perspective, showing how he sees killing people as artistic
I think he has an enchanted gun that does this.
oh how wrong young necrit was
Something to notice about the talons next to the bladed bracer, that's a full glove not just finger blades meaning it could also be a reference to a new champion
Hey necrit, I was wondering after my like 5th watch why there is an Vlad claw thingy next to rivens blade behind draven. Did draven betray Vlad? Because that doesn't really seem possible. Or is it something similar?
Edit: well never mind you covered it already, wrote the comment before watching.
Edit2, maybe jhin is blind on one eye, because you can always just see one. And maybe you know someone in lore with one eye?
I believe it was stated in Necrit's vid on Jhin's lore that Jhin wears a kind of black thing under his mask that covers one eye and restricts his breathing. Think it was to make a "better performance" as Jhin sees it that way. The one eye is covered to take away his depth perception. I could be wrong though.
I dont actually think its Vladimirs claws, there are only 3 visible, but vlad has 5 and also the shape is off. They look a lot more like madreds razor (old item)
@@antetsuki7913 Also jhin's eye color changes based on his mood and no one knows the actual color. The Camille and jhin fight was amazing though
@@aatrox188 i did not know that, thanks for telling me something new :)
@@antetsuki7913 :)
Also as a Jhin main I noticed that sometimes before his 4th shot he bends over exactly like in the moment when camille is going towards him :D
and camille and jhin's bodies make the shape of a four in that shot
I really want the Jhin and Camille scene to be true
I doubt Camille is that stupid.
I would be very disappointed if it exactly went like this.
@@betterfly7398 Well, not stupid but she has an high self-esteem right ?
So she could totally underestimate Jhin i guess.
Plus, she probably doesn't know a lot about him since he's mostly "working" in Ionia and even there people thought for years that he was some kind of demon/monster (and a lot might still think that now that i think about it)
@@girouarddolivier2049 she does.
But she would never do that.
She is someone who would expect how things should go and wouldn't just go somewhere
Like that.
The second she sees traps she would be very cautious and do something else other than
engaging on him.
@@betterfly7398 I can understand that but the truth is, she doesn't have any other option.
I mean, there are traps and soldiers exploding everywhere around her and the only way to escape for her is to go for Jhin and kill him where he stands (exactly as he planned it and that's why he bows - not to her but to his imaginary audience - because everything is going according to his plan )
But hey, maybe it's all in his mind and nothing ever happend
@@girouarddolivier2049 I meant, she wouldn't her self go there.
Anyway this is all non canon, non of it is confirmed and could be just for "Hype" purposes because it was very hype.

Is that talon at the balcony? @3:51
He doesn't have armor on right shoulder and front but who knows.
I watched the cinematic and had so many questions about the Draven/Riven interaction. UA-cam autoplay brought your video up right after it :)
I'll watch this and be educated!
The TL:DR would be that if Riven were recaptured in the future, there's a high likelihood that rather than being executed on the spot, she'd be sentenced to die in The Fleshing, for public viewing, since she was a deserter and war-criminal. Draven would be set to oversee it since his job is to ensure that those sentenced to death meet their maker. Draven also never fails at doing his job.
6:25 this weapon look like Madred's Razors.
I think i can see Azir and Urgot in the Arena too . In the scene you reveal Darius , Swain and Leblanc , they are in the left corner standing silent !!
I wish Talon could get a real lore ;-;
He does.. A really really old lore though
I believe that there is actually some magic to Jhin's traps. As you can se when Cam is walking down the isle her eyes turn from blue to orange and back to blue referencing her passive with her adaptive shields, kind of as if she feels the sudden rush of magic and quickly changes her defences, but the first time she walks into the theater her eyes are blue. It's can be that the traps are magical or there is something else happening "behind the curtain". it's a split second detail with the orange eyes bit very obvious once you notice it
