The transfer from Vander's flashback to Jinx flicking the lighter on desperately hoping Vi got through to him, and then she sees them hugging and Vi extends her hand "He's your father too" Jinx's expression after.... I cry every time
The fact that all 3 of them didn't pick up on last episodes ''powder'' line from Vander/Warwick baffels me but good for them to figure it out for themselves I guess 😅
The unfortunate side effect of using subtitles...too many reactors focus on who the captions say said the word "Powder" and not the voice or the context of who would be calling her by that name.
@@shikei1o113 He played League of Legends. I think he was afraid, that he only figured it out because of his background knowledge and didn't want to tell the others, before the real reveale comes
@@shikei1o113 I disagree, aaron probably withheld saying to them for the sake of their reaction to the vander reveal if it were true, though in this case he was prompted to say as eric and calvin discussed during the opening
Their mother puts on 'Our Love' on the jukebox which Vander seems to dislike. ("not this song") And in season 1 episode 2 Vander puts the song on and pours Powder a glass of OJ. Such a small, overlooked moment from season 1 comes beautifully full circle.
It's really interesting when a callback ends up changing the feelings of whatever it's calling back to, retroactively. Like now when I see S1 and that song comes on, it feels much different than the first time we saw it.
"He's your dad too." I lost it there. In that small moment, Vi puts aside all the bad blood between her and Jinx and empathically helps her move past the guilt she's had since childhood by letting her know she's still part of the family. 😭
I'm still surprised they didn't realize Warwick was Vander from the "Powder" line last episode, but it's nice to see them figure it out. Their reactions were perfect.
Fun fact, that guy with the metal jaw is the same guy from S1 who Vi smacked in the jaw while in the prison. She is responsible for him getting whacked 3 times I think iirc.

All this hatred in your heart, yet I mourn the most for all the things that I never said [Chorus] Don’t make me go through this again You’re not real and I can’t pretend This story is over, I ripped out the end Tell me, who are you, then? [Post-Chorus] What have they done to us? What have they done to us? What have they done to us? What have they done to us?
small detail forshadowing the truth behind Vikor and his deciples: when Salo and Jayce are talking, we can tell its visibly cold in the room bc of Jayce's breath, but we don't see Salo breathing...
The biggest reveal in the series and they didn't even notice 🤦 lmao (well Aaron knew lol). Ugh the hug chokes me up so much, surprised Eric didn't get hit harder by that, Aaron was really tearing up
The unfortunate side effect of using subtitles...too many reactors focus on who the captions say said the word "Powder" and not the voice or the context of who would be calling her by that name.
@@SGC51 you mean the fact that they say the name Warwick? Yeah that’s Netflix’s fault lmao the characters don’t even say the name the entire season. It’s not because of subtitles in general.
if yall wanna feel more feels vanders last word(s) were take care of "powder" and as WW he regained consciousness what was the word that came out his mouth powder. what was vanders last action before he died? hugging vi and jumping out an exploding building, what Ww do after coming to, hugging Vi.
"It was an adult squirrel" broke me. 🤣 Hasn't Eric been harassed enough!? Also, this show is so dang good. I will never fail to get emotional over the hug reveal. On the first watch, I fully thought they were doing the touching flashback about Vander naming Vi because they were about to break our hearts by her getting really messed up.
I wonder if Aaron recognizes Orianna or not... Like I wonder if he didn't put the pieces together or is just keeping it close to the chest in case it comes up more later. I'm so torn, on the one hand I'm always impressed with his ability to keep spoilers hidden, on another I quite enjoy getting the opinions of someone with league lore on this show. Especially in this case because Singed being Corrin Reveck/Ori's dad is a retcon. Though I guess I just have to wait until the finale.
Lol, I feel like they would fail the mom being the doctor riddle. Ambessa got pregnant in the village and came home and gave birth to Mel. The Black Rose mage is either a literal sibling by way of whoever the father is, or just a sister in terms of being a fellow mage.

Ah yeah the final episode this season of Arcane was so good and super emotional. I’m really excited to see where Jayce goes and what he’ll do in the next season!
I love how anticlimactic the Vander reveal is this episode because the show doesn't account for ANYONE not to have gotten it last episode, so they just say it thinking everyone is already on the same page. Not good ol' Blindwave. 💀

Jinx's expression after.... I cry every time
Fkin Aaron...fooled us all. Should've winked at the camera last episode that he figured out that it was Vander 😂😭
Not telling 😂
Eric remarking how much Warwick looks like Vander is why they went with this design over the full dog form.
Vander hug always makes me tear up hard. I really didint expect them to give us this. Even if it was short lived
Best moment in the show.
Episodes 5-7 of Season 2 are just three straight peak masterpieces
The fact that all 3 of them didn't pick up on last episodes ''powder'' line from Vander/Warwick baffels me but good for them to figure it out for themselves I guess 😅
didnt aaron showed them his notes saying he did thought it was vander but didnt say it for discussion @ 2:23

@@johnquixotejoflamingo3248 Yea but I think he wasn't too sure if the series goes through with it right? Which is why he didn't say anything

That one moment, "he's your father too", that got me. More than any other this season.

B!tch mittens had me rolling. It was a much needed reunion of Vander Powder and Vi that’s for sure.
I'm still surprised they didn't realize Warwick was Vander from the "Powder" line last episode, but it's nice to see them figure it out. Their reactions were perfect.
Now I feel good know that I'm not the only big guy that cried to that scene
Cait rocking the emperor Lelouch style.
🧛♀️
The sadness has just begun 🥲
The hug scene never fails to make me cry 😭 Glad to see them having the same reaction. I feel like the next episode will destroy Eric, though 😢
Fun fact, that guy with the metal jaw is the same guy from S1 who Vi smacked in the jaw while in the prison. She is responsible for him getting whacked 3 times I think iirc.
1st as a kid on 1x3, 2nd in prison, 3rd here.
Knew he was familiar!
I only recognised him in this video. Only because I had just rewatched season one recently.
@2:45 maybe him saying "powder" in vander's voice was a hint :P
I think my favorite stretch of episodes is 5 to 7. such a great show!
-Season 2 Episode 5 What Have They Done To Us Lyrics (Vocals by Mako and Grey):
[Verse]
As you wake up in a cold sweat
Little girl, what goes on in your head?
All this hatred in your heart, yet
I mourn the most for all the things that I never said
[Chorus]
Don’t make me go through this again
You’re not real and I can’t pretend
This story is over, I ripped out the end
Tell me, who are you, then?
[Post-Chorus]
What have they done to us?
What have they done to us?
What have they done to us?
What have they done to us?
I love that they're still bringing up the squirrel incident from the bg3 streams
That hug for me is one of the greatest moments in all of fiction. It's so unvelievably moving
Imagined Vander just flicking the little kid away like "I don't know you, shoo"
Another amazing video and halfway there in this amazing show
Honestly I think episodes 5, 6, and 7 are the most emotionally charged episodes of the entire series in my opinion, all evoking varying emotions too
small detail forshadowing the truth behind Vikor and his deciples: when Salo and Jayce are talking, we can tell its visibly cold in the room bc of Jayce's breath, but we don't see Salo breathing...
The biggest reveal in the series and they didn't even notice 🤦 lmao (well Aaron knew lol). Ugh the hug chokes me up so much, surprised Eric didn't get hit harder by that, Aaron was really tearing up
I cried a river in this episode.....
This is what I've been waiting for.
deeply funny that they thought he was Vander because of his facial features and not the actual thing confirming it.
we are so close in getting Jayce's first Elden Ring playthrough..no items, just straight up caelid shit!
Was not expecting this kind of an opening scene
Yeah I guess you guys just really completely forgot about Warwick saying "Powder" lol
Aaron sorta knew he just wrote down not telling lol
The unfortunate side effect of using subtitles...too many reactors focus on who the captions say said the word "Powder" and not the voice or the context of who would be calling her by that name.
@@SGC51 you mean the fact that they say the name Warwick? Yeah that’s Netflix’s fault lmao the characters don’t even say the name the entire season. It’s not because of subtitles in general.
@@beyondviolet more so the fact that there is no one left alive who would call her by that name
@@MiraPacku I’m talking about why they were distracted from realizing that.
if yall wanna feel more feels vanders last word(s) were take care of "powder" and as WW he regained consciousness what was the word that came out his mouth powder. what was vanders last action before he died? hugging vi and jumping out an exploding building, what Ww do after coming to, hugging Vi.
Great episode. lol. i like that aaron guessed the vander thing but decided not to say lmao
Hey Sherlocks: Maybe your first clue should have been Warwick having flashes of Powder before saying "POWDER" at the end of last episode.
Okay this weekly release means I have to cry every week. This is not fair yall 😭
I'm not ready to watch their reaction to the next episode. I don't want to cry again....
"It was an adult squirrel" broke me. 🤣 Hasn't Eric been harassed enough!?
Also, this show is so dang good. I will never fail to get emotional over the hug reveal. On the first watch, I fully thought they were doing the touching flashback about Vander naming Vi because they were about to break our hearts by her getting really messed up.
I had to go back because I missed so much from laughing when he said that. I think it was the seriousness of his face that did it.

Vi was right...everyone in her life has indeed changed...
I felt the same way about Vander. So beautiful to see them back together.
14:58 savour it while it lasts, Eric.
Get your tissue ready for next week
Lol, I feel like they would fail the mom being the doctor riddle. Ambessa got pregnant in the village and came home and gave birth to Mel. The Black Rose mage is either a literal sibling by way of whoever the father is, or just a sister in terms of being a fellow mage.
Can't wait for all the episodes! Guys at least give us all the episodes in the patreon...?
2:40 Maybe it was him calling her "powder" with Vanders voice??????
You guys totally missed the powder line from warwick last episode😂..
wow the crew needs to react to 28 years later man what a trailer😮
-Season 2 Episode 5 Cocktail Molotov Lyrics (Vocals by ZAND):
[Verse 1]
Get your filthy eyeballs on me
What else am I wasting for?
Feed me all your woes and pity
I am nothing anymore (Don't trip)
I'm at the bottom, it's a long way down (Don't slip)
I’m on the bend, and it's a long way round (I'm sick)
Of who I am and what I'm talking about
'Cause no pretty face can save me now
[Chorus]
So lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
Lock me up, I've gone and jinxed it
Hold my cocktail molotov
Lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
Lock me up, I've gone and jinxed it
Hold my cocktail molotov
[Verse 2]
Kick me 'til I'm cold and weary
Stab my heart and hope to die
Writing my obituary
Might as well just bury me alivе
I'm in the grave, I’m in the undеrground (I try)
To beat my demons, but I only drown (I cry)
For all the reasons that I’m talking about
'Cause I'm down and out, I'm down and out
[Pre-Chorus]
So lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
Lock me up, I've gone and jinxed it
Hold my cocktail molotov
[Chorus]
Lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
Lock me up, I've gone and jinxed it
Hold my cocktail molotov
Lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
Lock me up, I've gone and jinxed it
Hold my cocktail molotov
Lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
Lock me up, I cannot take it
Lock me up, I've already lost
💜
I keep forgetting we are still waiting on these eps, welcome suprise
This was the episode that broke the hype for me ;w;
Oh boy
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TU USSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 😭😭😭
Next week is going to ruin us all
Now this is more like it. You guys look more engaged now
Yay finally :D
Ah yeah the final episode this season of Arcane was so good and super emotional. I’m really excited to see where Jayce goes and what he’ll do in the next season!
guys, the party is over :( all the other reactors finished the series
That’s it this is where the show ended. 10/10 show no episodes after this…
Where is secret level reaction?
I love how anticlimactic the Vander reveal is this episode because the show doesn't account for ANYONE not to have gotten it last episode, so they just say it thinking everyone is already on the same page. Not good ol' Blindwave. 💀
This one week wait per episode will be the death of me
I can't believe Riot decided to end the series on such a big cliffhanger on episode 5 like this, but I'll take it
/denial
this one episode per week nonsense is the absolute worst garbage youve ever done
