It's heavily implied Jinx lived and decided to "Break the Cycle" by leaving since Vi would never give up on her. 1)If you slow down time, you can see a purple shimmer pattern before the bomb explodes 2)They show Caitlyn smirk as she is inspecting the ventilation schematics and that one lead out of the tower as you saw 3)They show a blimp flying away, just like in the opening when Powder says "I'm going to ride in one of those one day" and her signature scratches on the camera before the camera cuts away. Also just to let you know, the lead show runner did a two hour interview and he actually confirmed that Ekko told Jinx about the alternate universe, and secondly that Jinx told Ekko she was going to leave without telling Vi, if she had the chance. His card is actually for Heimdeinger.
Some people zoomed the card that Ekko was burning in the end, and actually it says Powder. It makes sense, since he probably will never meet that Powder from parallel universe again. Also he is on the exact same same that he kissed Powder.
I swear if Ella Purnell doesnt win something big this year I'll be surprised. She plays like 3 characters in this season, and does them all flawlessly.
Sure, everyone wanted more arcane, but you would have to wait twice as long. People complaining about the pacing of this season is way off the mark. It explains enough through visuals and mini flashforwards (music openings) well enough. What you dont understand and feels underdeveloped will be expanded on in future series
Twice as long? Why? I thought it was actually a bit smaller on story than season one with more action or things just happening instead. Not a complaint but recognizing the work in setting things up to later unfold.
After chewing on this for a several weeks, I think the emotional impact of E7 just hits the hardest now. Isha's loss was a serious thing. But seeing Ekko realize what was lost in his timeline, what could have been, and to enjoy it for a brief moment? And then he gives that all up in order to return? Wow.
Been waiting for this one! 1st! I got thoughts, but I'll post them later. Cool facts about the dance scene. They shot the scene in 4 frames per second because it symbolizes two things 1)It symbolizes Ekko time abilities in the game because he can go back 4 seconds in time. 2)It's also post to represent how Ekko didn't want to leave the moment, he wanted to stay in the moment forever. It also is post to match their fight from season 1, episode 7, they actually shot that fight scene in 4 frames per second also. Also the blue rose pendant he gave powder, symbolizes his "unattainable love" because blue roses cannot exist in reality and because in their reality, they never got the chance to be. Also you should look up the lyrics for the song, it's quite beautiful or just listen to an overlay with english lyrics "ma meilleure ennemie" Also fun fact, since Arcane is league of legends canon and set in their universe, technically Heimdeinger didn't die. In league of legends lore, Yordles are technically "immortal spirits" meaning they literally can't die lmao. Yordles just "respawn" in their homeland called "Bandle City" which is like a pocket dimension that exist "behind" Runeterra. It's a land that only Yordles can travel to and from because of their size and it has portals across Runeterra, which is one way they are able to traverse across the land & map so easily. Kind of silly and again, most general audiences would not know this at all, but fun tid bit.
Arcane is New Canon they just replaced one original story with new great story. It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana, Mel become a new champion, parallel worlds and more Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight. And the way Riot Games ended the stories by {"killing"} 6 champions is just wow. The new champion Ambesa Metard got extra love from Riot Games and the official IP team. Cinematic Blood sweat and tears, a story on the League website and after Arcane came out the Novel book Arcane Ambesa Chosen of the Wolf. And its ending is great. Heimerdinger finally got a good story, not just some character description on the League website, a preview in the Jinx comic and the lore game Hextech Mayhem. And even though he is a Yordle, so he should return/reborn in Bandle City = Spirit Realm but I don't think that will happen. Jace and Viktor are a big question, because I can't say for sure if they died or if they are ending the "timeloop" paradox of parallel universes (#blue stone with always a different Rune). Warwick is still questionable, because he could possibly return in his more werewolf form from the Cinematics and games. And Jinx = Powder her sacrificial death hit me the deepest in the heart. Her beginning with the Get Jinx Cinematic and her ending in Arcana created by the same French studio Fortiche, it's the greatest love story for art.
They literally gave me everything I wanted this season! I wanted Vi and Jinx to make amends, and I wanted Ekko and Jinx to make amends are well. I am so satisfied.
BTW, I don't think Jinx/Powder is dead. I think she shimmer speed-jumped away from the explosion when her and Warwick fell. You saw a pink streak zip away as the explosion happened at about the 1-2 o'clock position. I know some will say that we saw a blue streak during the explosion when Ekko was trying to save Jinx with his "four second time machine", but it's not definitive either way IMO. It looked like a shimmer streak to me as it was straight. Then add in that Caitlyn saw the ducts on the map at the bottom of the tower on the blueprints and then smiled. I think that was where Powder jumped to so her sister could have a life with Caitlyn. Keep in mind, in prison while Jinx was having a mental conversation with Silco, he says... "The cycle only ends when you've got the will to walk away.". Later Jinx says to Vi, "You don't get it do ya sis... I'm always with you even when we're world's apart.". The show wouldn't have shown and said all that for nothing. There are just too many clues IMO. Some can think Powder died, but I tend to think she lived elsewhere.
Its great that Mel will become playeable champion. Riot Games Devs comfirned she will new champion release after January. Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight. Violet and Caitlyn scene in cell was originally longer. 😅 It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana,... Necrit has on his channel an interview with Arcane co-creator Christian Ling. After Arcane dernier in L.A. it is interesting. And we know they are working on another series three new are allready in development Ionia, Noxus, Demacia and maybe even movies in future.
35:23 Every time she chooses to end herself, every time he rewinds it, it’s hurting him, he’s eating the initial damage of an explosion. He does it 4-5 times. Dude had made his decision, he’s saving her or they are going down together🥲

League is an on-going game that still runs on an old engine, as of so far they haven’t decided to update the engine, but it’s a live service game. Each year they release new champions, effects, etc. Basically old champs can fall behind from graphics, gameplay, etc. so every season they will re-work a few champs and launch a trailer to tease them) -Fiddlesticks: terror in Demacia Tip for all of these, they should be in the playlist on leagues youtube page and easy to find. I omitted some that are already mentioned. I put * symbol by some because they are best watched in an order. For example, you can find the ruination event if you look up “sentinels of light” - and playlist by timfernix (ironically ruination event is not a playlist on leagues youtube page lol) Start watching all the League of Legends animated music videos: 1) Phoenix 2) Legends Never Die 3) Enemy 4) Rise 5) Breathe 6) K/DA (This is K-Pop music) Then there are the Tales of Runeterra: Noxus Demacia Freljord Bilgewater Don't Mess With The Yordles Ionia Shadow Isles Targon Piltover and Zaun Shurima Then there's the ORIGIN stories and Summoner's Rift Cinematics. Annie Darius Warwick Fiddlesticks Ekko Amumu Xayah and Rakan The Path, An Ionian Myth Kin of The Stained Blade Ryze Call of Power A New Dawn Feeding Frenzy You Really got me cinematic trailer (two newest one's are "blood, Sweat, Tears" & "Heavy is the Crown - Linkin Park Music video") There's also a great documentary I HIGHLY highly recommend called "Bridging The Rift - Making of Arcane" I also recommend "Neacrit" he is a long time youtuber, like 9/10 years who just focuses solely on league content and lore. I recommend "Riot MMO is almost done" as it gives you a simple overview of the land of runeterra and each region.
Viktor and Jayce were never romantically involved in the original lore, alternate timelines, and this new Arcane Canon. Even in an interview with Necrit, Arcane co-creator Christian Ling didn't understand. How people didn't understand that men or women could just be best friends like brothers or sisters.

@@zachphoenix4522what earlier in the series makes you think that? Jayce literally has a girlfriend (sure he could be bi, but fat chance) and Viktor does not give a shit because he is all about science and he is dying
@@zachphoenix4522 them being romantically involved makes their connection so much weaker because it's so much cheaper. As someone who has a friend like that, it's so strange to me to see it any other way other than completely platonic friendship at the highest level.

It's just companionship and the lack of sexuality allows it to be so much stronger and not distorted or mixed. It's so pure.

I’ll say this without spoiling it don’t dive too deep in the lore. Just wait for the shows. Because honestly, there’s some amazing stories to come if they even touch them a little bit you’re going to get some amazing shows
The scene with Violet and Caitlyn in the cell was originally longer😅 But they shortened it. Original the longer version is on the hard drive in France. It's great to see that Riot Games gave Fortiche a thumbs up so they didn't overdo it and upset the fan base and their curiosity to see it with the cut.

@@Noname-yh4dq Well, they are going into war, probably dying, Cait which she loves just did a GREAT thing for her, giving up her chase for Jinx to give her sister a chance (leaving it up to Vi to set her free or not).
