It reminds me of the style of Arcane - and that is something that I consider to be a masterpiece. I'm not sure if it's *the* best, but it's definitely up there on the top.
@HashChamp cool cinematic and thank you for your video. But i'm not totally satisfied because Swain is not there and he's the most important character in Noxus...Riot kind of undermined him and made him not as important as he should be...I expected to see him but now i'm sad lol.
@Exilians No, they didn't. True Ice has a healing factor of sorts. It refreezes almost instantly. Before the Darius/Trundle fight was even over his club was back to normal. A lot of people think of the idea of indestructible as cannot be damaged, but that is NOT want it means. It means it can't be completely gotten rid of. It cannot be permanently changed into another form. It can't be damaged to the point where it is no more. True Ice is still Ice. Also if True Ice couldn't been effected by force, the how could it even be shaped into weapons in the first place?
The symbols doesn't necessarily predict the future. We see how Leblanc placed a spider symbol after Katarina which implies that she's manipulating the current events and not seeing into the future, that would be in line with her overall theme, deception and manipulation.
I think she can, but only in a vague and limited capacity. She might have visions, but what those visions mean could be clouded in mystery even to her. That is why she knows of oncoming calamities. Prescience is not an exact science and is almost never completely clear, even for the most gifted of oracles and seers. She manipulates in order to steer Noxus and in turn all of Runeterra away from Calamity!
Yooo what a great video! I recently finished Season 2 of Arcane and I'm falling deep into the League of Legends rabbit hole these days, so I've been looking at videos and content to learn more about it and then bam - a Hash video dissecting the lore behind the trailer for the new season! Great work man, loved the video!
You and me both! I’ve been watching these awesome Cinematic trailers for years and every time I try to learn more and more about the lore I can never find a solid source for MY PERSONAL interest regarding the lore and characters…until now 😂 thank you for your videos. I don’t feel like I’m being made fun of because I don’t know something. These characters are honey favorite of any video game lore. I was interested in the Warcraft lore as well but LOL is more captivating
Theory time: My thoughts are that this is a younger Darius, years before the establishment of the Trifarix. Maybe right after he has become the Hand? I also think that the Silken Dance isn't a one time game event, but rather a Black Rose tradition used to conduct sensitive business and scout new possible members. I think Arcane happens much earlier on the timeline than most fans think and that the next 4:46 show should pick up with Mel and her return to Noxus as matriarch of the Mardardas. Boram Darkwill should still be ruling Noxus, and this should be before the the 1st invasion of Ionia. Singed being a wanted man in Piltover-Zaun has also fled to Noxus, where he will be recruited by their military to make weapons. The main storyline should be the what going on in Noxus during the Ionian invasion, Darkwill's fall, and the rise of the Trifarix. I want this to be about 4 seasons. I think Rell should be introduced as Mel's unknown twin! I think that would be interesting. Ambessa should have been the person running the Black Rose's mage School/weapons project. It was a deal she made with LeBlanc in order to add mages into her bloodline. According to the deal, she was to give all arcane gifted children to the Black Rose for training, but she hid Mel's power instead and sent her to Piltover partially for that reason. We might get a few scenes of the war because the latter half of this show, Seasons 3 & 4, take place during the Ionian invasion, but it shouldn't really focus on that, the main plot should still focus inside the political machinations of NoxusI I would have the next show after Noxus, be in Demacia. It would be 5 seasons. S1 would start about a year or so before the Noxus show ends. It would set up characters like Lux, Garen, Jarvan IV, Sylas, and Fiora, as well as have major flashbacks to Targon with the story of Pantheon, Kayle, and Morgana. S2-S4 would address the system of the mageseekers, continue progression of the Kayle/Morgana story, give side stories for Shyvana and Fiddlesticks and show the creation of Galio. S5 would have the full outing of Lux as a mage and the full Mage Rebellion. In the very last episode Jinx would show up to help Demacia rebuild and restructure their society and start to build a life long friendship with Lux. This canonically should start around the same time as the last year of Arcane's story, Outside of flashbacks, this should be about a 5 year story. Sometime after the Noxus show ends, but before the Demacia show does, a theatrical movie release should happen. It should be a story about Jinx in a Bilgewater adventure. That is where she headed after leaving Piltover-Zaun. After a high speed, adrenaline pumping, gun blazing pirate adventure with Miss Fortune, and being tested by Illoai, she should head to Demacia. The events of this movie should happen a few weeks after the events of the Ruin King game. They could introduce Nilah here and coincide a new champion drop ingame with Jack, The Winner! He's a badass Sharkman who made some unknown deal with Tahm Kench. Also, in LoR Miss Fortune has a monkey idol that is stated to have been taken by her form some old enemy. Also, there is a slot machine robot that had a 3 bomb jackpot and actually blew up the 1st time someone hit it. They've since fixed the robot but removed the bomb function.. I think it would be cool if Jinx was the original designer of the robot and made the idol in a buhru temple.
Your message was fun to read! So apparently about Darius being young. Apparently it’s confirmed that it is indeed young Darius hence he is ‘skinnier’ and the logo on the banners is different. Even necrit said it in his video it’s confirmed so I’m not 100% sure
I like your theory but considering the timeline of LoL, this is probably referencing their attack on Ionia. The sword you see is most likely one of the swords in the sword graveyard in Ionia from Master Yi’s story. The events of the darkin are yet to unfold, and they are more related to shurima than anything else
I think the symbol is Riven's blade. LeBlanc wants to go to Ionia so she can tap into Ionian magic the same way she wanted to tap into hextech. So she will manipulate Noxus to go there next and Noxus will fight Ionia and lose.
Small correction, Darkin are NOT corrupted by blood magic/hemomancy. They do practice it, but it was their contact with the Void that corrupted them. They started hemomancy after being corrupted.
The last symbol looks like a Watcher to me. I thought Lissandra at first, the wide top, but there’s bottom doesn’t match her “legs”. Then thought Darkin at first saw it, but the symbol doesn’t match Naafiri. BUT there’s a picture of a GIGANTIC Watcher in the Freljord with the same silhouette as the “dagger” including the eye.
I thought the final symbol was a floating island, and the only floating island I recall being actually 'scary' is Syndra's floating sanctuary. Since Syndra is insanely powerful and has no love for her countrymen - or anybody for that matter - I thought it would link Noxus to Ionia and the Ionian trader LB was imitating in Arcane.
How do u know so much??? It makes me wonder if I can keep with the show’s universe as I haven’t been into league of legends at all but at the same time absolutely loving the show and obsessing over ARCANE! I hope noxus is as fun as zaun! And I hope it is enjoyable! (Because I am into politics and war)
dont worry! thats probably how u felt at the beginning of arcane as well but over time u probably grabbed onto all things about zaun and piltover as it was explained very nicely in the show. I think the next show about noxus it will be the same and everything will be explained but if ur confused on anything u could always search it up or just watch one of hash videos lmao
I just enjoy reading the lore! The shows universe is a lot more interesting than what we saw in Arcane in my opinion! I have a few videos on my page explaining big chunks of lore and breaking it down for arcane viewers. Let me know how you find them bro
Nazis? Nope not really. Noxus is all about strenght. The strong conquer the weak. And LeBlanc is more into manipulating events and holding political power.. So its like a Putin in a way..and Putin is not really Hitler. He is bad and an Autocrat but not really trying to extinct all other nations just trying to subjegate.
@@HashChamp yes its damaged but still its not lore accurate, sylas touched true ice for a second and he was nearly dead (via freezing), but darius holded it for seconds and nothing happened + cutting true ice is really funny if it can be cut by an axe how can it hold watchers? Trundle literally hits trolls with his weapon and they fully freeze.I think writers dont read the stories, we need the old writers back. And btw trundle is way bigger than that, but they made him really small. They really nerfed freljord with song of nunu and this cinematic.
@@Exilians ohhhh I read your comment as what I said was incorrect about Darius OOPS. I see what ur saying, honestly bro, going forward I think ALOT of old lore is getting retconned and changed. Arcane showed us how a lot is going to be different from the old stories.
@@Exilians it's different holding a true ice weapon than holding a weapon that affected by true ice. That's why Darius can hold his axe but still it's so strong.
Awesome as ever hash, loads of great lore for the unitnitiated like me. I really liked the trailer too apart from how manly leblancs face is. Far too masculaine & not how i imagined her from the svelt, femenine figure we see in arcane when she is in that shadow form. Thanks as always hash, these videos are keeping me going after arcane came to an end.
How did you find the Cinematic? Is it League's best cinematic?
i think still here is still better than this. Character models and graphics were not bad but they literally fcked up the lore with the true ice part.

elise also serves leblanc and has been a member of black rose before becoming a spider
How did I say everything but that 💀💀😭😭 that’s the most obvious fact about Elise 💀💀
Loved the extra detail and analysis

I’ll be honest this is a unique theory but u cud still technically be right!!
I want to see Talon so bad
We could! We saw Kat so maybe in the next one we do

I don’t think it is bro, look at the pics
