I miss the time when the random Demacian soldier who suffered all kinds of misfortunes was called "helmet bro". The meme made it seem that there was one single individual with very bad luck. It's been a long time since I last heard that name.
I was thinking potentially Noxus since we know for sure they have/had gladiatorial type fighting pits from Xin Zhao's back story but I don't think it's unreasonable to think that most regions have some form of them.
@@louisrobitaille5810the skulls could also be stylized wolves and therefore belong to sett, the thing is that gold is very common in runeterra, still your take is not wrong.
12:38 the top left circle is also filled in, and its colour scheme is yellow. That makes me think that it represents Ashlesh, since the members of the seventh layer all incorporate yellow into their designs. Maybe this means that either Raum is informing swain about the others, or this could be the feather of another of the 10 kings
You're right. Jhin uses his magic to infuse bullets, so bullets kill and activate a spell, which leads to a flower we can see after killing a champion in LoL
@@quinnviandsejthat's probably a stretch, but what if Corina and Jhin come from one family? You know, familial magic is a thing, though i don't really know if it applies to Runeterra...
12:25 if you look closely at the circle in the background compared to the one we got in the Fiddlesticks's trailer you can see that the bottom right circle is still red like in the old one but the top left one also lit up, and since it's gold-blueish it's a given it's Ashlesh. I wonder if the placement has something to do with "FIRST of ten" or the "SEVENth layer", since it looks that the main demons are associated with a number. I truly want to know more about all of this, especially who the middle three are.
For Hubris, I have personnally theorize that it comes from the Noxian Colosseum, making sense as it is a Lily Crown and for the passives being heavily related to Draven in my opinion.
@@Suntensatsu21 Wait! My bad actually, Lily is the litteral translation of the flower in my language used in those crown! I just forgot the real term in english, thanks for your correction.
@@misxfitx Yeah might be possible as the background is not red, and items usually respect a color theme in their splashart. It fits also better the "Eminence" part. Just more questions I guess
5:39 Foreshadowing is a narrative device in which a storyteller gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. I mean its written all over the place we might actualy see this in Arcane S2
man i really liked the "ruination" book. the best part about it, a friend of mine was in australia in the time period the book was released. the author of the book posted a tweet that he shadow signed some of the copies in a book store in sydney. so i asked her if she can take a look an buy one if possible. she said she couldnt get one. some weeks later she was in germany and we celebrated christmas together and i got the ruination book. i said to her "oh i allready bought and read it" she replied "i know look at the first page" so she got a signed copy and didnt tell me so she had a surprise for christmas. best gift ever!
The sledge also looks kinda Bandle-ish and it wouldn't be too far-fetched for Yordles to use magical sledges even if there is no snow in the bandle city.
12:38 Interesting that background circle has filled 2 points, one has hue of white and one has hue of red. The bird demon we know is Swain's and Fiddle has birds around him. Can it indicate some being serving the two?
I dont know if it is just me, but the first thing I thought about when I saw the Haunting Guise was somehow... Shaco? Will Shaco finally get some lore?
worth mentioning Martyr's Gambit has a piece of text talking about Buhru, which is part of the serpent isles, so its definitely a bilgewater monster hunter thing
To mee the item from Renata (Malignance) seems to be a heart prototype to use instead of your real one in case of malfunction or just as an upgrade. I could see Viktor and Renata working together to develop something like this, one for the future of mankind, the other for money as an oposition to piltover and specially Jayce hextech.
Ludens companion doesnt necessarily have to be sold to luden, it could just be the name of the gun. If luden was some mage of renown in the past, it would make sense for q gun for mages to be marketed in this way.
Just want to add. The ruination book is FIRE. I wasnt around in 2019 for the actual event, so i’ve always been confused why people were so indifferent towards the sentinels of light stuff, given how great the book is
8:24 this looks like a heart no? The top pipe that winds into the back is the aorta witht he other pipes other veins that bring back blood. Which would make sense given the amount of augmentation in Zaun.
Directrix also shows that ashlash's spot has been filled in, which means as more demons reveal themselves the map or parchment does change to show. I think this item will be our best way of finding out who are the primal demons. However I dont know what other emotions would be considered "primal" right now so if you guys have an idea about what they could be please comment
Malignance looks like chemtech heart that when starts pumping harder for example due to adrenaline that occurs in fighting, it gives a boost to person due to contents start filling person and I'd assume they look something closer to Vander with dark veins popping up. Which makes sense as Renata might have learned about it from what happened to Vander and decided to make it more controllable.
God those "blood rings" just do not make sense. They are given the structure of brass knuckles (which moves the force of a punch to your palm rather than your fingers), but has backwards facing claw points, which indicate that you want to rake with them... Needless to say, you're going to have a hard time putting in any substantial force, as you would have to grip for your life onto that round handle, that rolls in the direction of the force. So the only real way to use it is as some crummy brass knuckles with fragile bits hanging off the front end.
20:10 I think us refference to manga or anime Soul eater (one of the main protagonist name dimilar for sin eater) and Kishin Ashura and this picture looks like refference to main villain Ashura his symbol and mandness effect (negative soul waves) have this appearance of 3 vertical eyes
16:07 this weapon reminds me of Samira. If you look at Samira related cards in LOR, in her team she has a member crafting those weird looking weapons (maybe the daring demolisher or the adroit artificer)
Fun fact for Soul Anchor : The icon is reused from an item with the same name that was a Dominion-exclusive trinket, that could revive you twice during the game
I think Opportunity relates to the Hallowed Mist/Gwen/Blessed Isles. Take a look at her splash art- the design, colour scheme, mist and pattern of her scissors are exactly the same.
Undying despair looks like Bel'Veth's maw so I wonder if it's related to the void? Also Sin Eater is 1000% a reference to Soul Eater. The main antagonist of the show, the Kishin Asura, has those same 3 eyes.
I think the magic refers to the runes. It's just saying that magic doesn't have to shortcut the forging of good steel. It can complement it as the rune forging does. Still Noxian, but not referencing Demacia.
I feel like Runic Compass is an item used by Yordles to seek out the portals that take them back to Bandle City, and the Bounty of Worlds is either just one of these portals, or maybe a secret hiding something about Bandle City, or Yordles in general
Personally I thaught the realm spike looked more connected to the war with the void in the bottom of the ocean with Nami's ppl. And the hellfire hatched imo actually looked really close to the icathian flame that Jax is carrying (I know Jax is supposed to be the last one but we have no context where in timeline to put these items)
With the "Experimental Hexplate" the thing I imagine is that It could be a thing on the season 2 of Arcane on a sequence, I mean we got Turbo Chemtank on the 1st Season so probably Piltover to counter this they did the "Experimental Hexplate"
It's funny that Necrit missed this but Virgo's blade isn't the real Blade of the Ruined King, the blade is really lost to time and most probably is the one in the shop, we can see Viego materialize his green crystaline blade in the Ruination cinematic where he takes Isolde's Fragment from Senna, you can see him walk up and create the blade from his mist, most likely what he uses is souls from the black mist forged into the shape of his Blade, that would also explain why Viego's blade is bigger than a normal weapon, he made it like that from the mist, since it's weightless for him. 😅 Edit: Also in the last cinematic of the Ruination event we can see Senna and Gwen capture Viego and there when he loses his concentration his blade vanishes, so yeah, it's a magic construct, not a real blade what he wields.
Two random ideas: What if Luden's Companion is a tease to a "mage gun" or "witch gunner " style champ, who also has Luden's Echo somewhere on his body or as a reference to a spell of his? A champion who half Marksman, half Mage who builds up ammo by using spells, then autos to release a powerful burst cluld be a potentially fun design space. For the second, what if Haunting Guise is meant to be referencing Gwen and we actually get someone from one of her balls, a Dance Mage style or a Dancing Brusier? Thats a stretch, but id love it.
When I looked at Haunting Guise my first thought was 'OH IT'S ONE OF THE MASKS FROM GWEN'S BALL', I think it's a leftover from those times, either ancient Helia or Camavor that was corrupted by black mist and infused with power. Shame there isn't any Ixtali item
I think it's interesting the demonic circle in the back of the Rectrix's art has both the bottom right and top left circles colored where as in the Fiddlesticks one there was only the bottom right colored in. Perhaps in reference to both Fiddles and Ashlash? Could it mean the three in the center of the circle are the most powerful given the size and location of the circles?
The Cyclo Sword to me almost looks like maybe a Demacian creation, only because the grip and cross-guard are blue with that sorta goldish tint their armor has.
I though seekers armguard belonged to lissandra? In aram the ghost shop keeper will say only to lissandra "seeker, you still live?" And also lissandra mention of hourglasses in song of nunu game
i see zak'zak and i can't help but think about zz'rot. maybe this is the spiritual successor to that item in lore (obviously not in how it functions in game)
I miss the time when the random Demacian soldier who suffered all kinds of misfortunes was called "helmet bro". The meme made it seem that there was one single individual with very bad luck.
It's been a long time since I last heard that name.
yeah that corpse bloom was definitely growing out of helmet bro's helmet.
Last mention of him was on the Wild Rift Soul Fighter event.
Didn't he die in fiddle rework video?
@@F3rd0 he died in basically all of his appearances. thats kinda his thing lol
@@F3rd0 Helmet Bro technically immortal tho
As a little feedback on the knuckles - they can be from everywhere es arenas are usually filled with sand :D
They name arena literally means sand so yes 😂.
I was thinking potentially Noxus since we know for sure they have/had gladiatorial type fighting pits from Xin Zhao's back story but I don't think it's unreasonable to think that most regions have some form of them.
@@CiviGGThe gold and emeralds (blue-greenish gems) don't fit Noxus.
The gold and red colors fit Shurima particularly well. Same thing with the skulls.
@@louisrobitaille5810the skulls could also be stylized wolves and therefore belong to sett, the thing is that gold is very common in runeterra, still your take is not wrong.
Shopkeepers: the most powerful being in League of Legends.
8:28 "Everything from Zaun explodes!"
Blitzcrank: *pissing oil out of fear*
His ult is technically an electric explosion/discharge
7:47 This is clearly the king's crown from the cinematic with Darius and the slave.
In Arcane Jayce said that the big Gloves are for mining and transporting Rocks. He even demonstrated it at a Rock.
12:38 the top left circle is also filled in, and its colour scheme is yellow. That makes me think that it represents Ashlesh, since the members of the seventh layer all incorporate yellow into their designs. Maybe this means that either Raum is informing swain about the others, or this could be the feather of another of the 10 kings
I am likely wrong since the feather is red, but could it be Raum's feather since its energy is also red?
Haunting Guise also reminds me of celebrations on the Shadow Isles that Gwen is part of in Legends of Runeterra with the Hallowed keyword.
I'm hoping for links to Shaco. He's got a creepy white mask, and Riot could retool him into someone/something possessed by a spirit.
Cryptbloom reminds me of Jhin. Zed's comic made it clear that Jhin used some form of magic to turn corpses into flowers. This may be how he does it.
Made me think of Maokai (trying to revive the flora of the Shadow Isles) and Corina's plants
You're right. Jhin uses his magic to infuse bullets, so bullets kill and activate a spell, which leads to a flower we can see after killing a champion in LoL
@@quinnviandsejthat's probably a stretch, but what if Corina and Jhin come from one family? You know, familial magic is a thing, though i don't really know if it applies to Runeterra...
I thought the flowers were just artistic representation of how Jhin views his "art" when in reality they're just blown up corpses. This makes sense.
@@ThreeFacedLiar didn't the maker give him his gun thats infused with magic?
8:34 Martyrs Gambit seems to be a mirror to Deadman’s Plate so Bilgewater would be more likely.
20:00 The "Sin Eater" looks a lot like Asura Kishin from Soul Eater.
It does not " look a lot" it is literally the kishin symbol... its clearly a reference considering the name
Yep, I'm glad I was not the only one who noticed that.
Soul Anchor at 13:57 was a trinket item from Dominion. Used to have charges and instantly revive you on use. Speaking of Dominion, bring it back Riot!
only if they bring back Twisted Treeline first! but if they do, ill 100% support your cause even if i didnt like that mode very much!
@@saphcal Of course, we need TT back too!
Zazack's Realm Spike is probably something from Zilians mages, from Legend of Runterra. They use the void against the void, like Kai'sa.

@@Suntensatsu21 Wait! My bad actually, Lily is the litteral translation of the flower in my language used in those crown! I just forgot the real term in english, thanks for your correction.

@@misxfitx Yeah might be possible as the background is not red, and items usually respect a color theme in their splashart. It fits also better the "Eminence" part. Just more questions I guess

As far as i know, the book with the claw marks belongs to veigar. It can be seen in its level 2 splashart in legends of runetera.
The book in Vergara splash art is the morellonomicon

5:39 Foreshadowing is a narrative device in which a storyteller gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story.

The sword at 16:27 reminds me of something Samira's crew in LoR would make.
Good catch, that's actually plausible
5:15 - These machine-like knights reminds me a lot of the Steel Watch guards from Baldurs Gate 3!

I dont know if it is just me, but the first thing I thought about when I saw the Haunting Guise was somehow... Shaco?
Will Shaco finally get some lore?
Shaco gets his lore on the day Skarner gets the rework and Gragas gets a VGU with Zilean
No. It's okay. We don't need lore.

Not Hollow radiance btw. The mask one
Anyone else think that Hubris looks like the crown from Darius's LoR cinematic? 7:59
12:45 that compass looks like it might be related to yuumi. the magic trail looks exactly like her Q
4:16 "All the power in the world comes from the stars, or so it said."

It's funny that Necrit missed this but Virgo's blade isn't the real Blade of the Ruined King, the blade is really lost to time and most probably is the one in the shop, we can see Viego materialize his green crystaline blade in the Ruination cinematic where he takes Isolde's Fragment from Senna, you can see him walk up and create the blade from his mist, most likely what he uses is souls from the black mist forged into the shape of his Blade, that would also explain why Viego's blade is bigger than a normal weapon, he made it like that from the mist, since it's weightless for him. 😅

Shame there isn't any Ixtali item
Urf is now canon since we can SEE his crown now, urf transformed himself into a manatie by accident
Oh no, the water polluted with beans is now canon.
The undying despair 17:36 has the camavorian sigil on the top, or am I seeing it wrong?
20:02 XD
The Pox is the book in Veigar's level 2 in Legends of Runeterra.
"But that is just a theory"..A GAME THEORY
I HAVE BEEN SO WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
Martyr's Gambit reminds me of Deadman's Plate, so I'd guess it's from Bilgewater as a counterpart since the later is worn by Gangplank
15:06 ME!!! MEMEMEEE I WANNA SEE THAT IN ARCANE
The Cyclosword gives me Samira vibes. Maybe it's made by Lani and Miel?
I think it's interesting the demonic circle in the back of the Rectrix's art has both the bottom right and top left circles colored where as in the Fiddlesticks one there was only the bottom right colored in. Perhaps in reference to both Fiddles and Ashlash? Could it mean the three in the center of the circle are the most powerful given the size and location of the circles?
The Cyclo Sword to me almost looks like maybe a Demacian creation, only because the grip and cross-guard are blue with that sorta goldish tint their armor has.
Opportunity really looks like something out of the empyrean skin line
11:07 uhm everybody knows that is veigar's book. Look at his legends of runeterra level 2 splash art
“Icathian Mage King” would fit the name “Hubris” a lot better I think, maybe referencing how they thought they could control the void?
ok abou the feather, you can see there is one circle glowing red, and another glowing white (fiddlesticks and ashlesh respectivley)
The Pox Arcana is actually Shadow Isles since it is in the possession of Veigar in LoR
The Haunting Guise reminds me of Azakana masks with the pointy nose
3:35 Helmbro NO!
I though seekers armguard belonged to lissandra? In aram the ghost shop keeper will say only to lissandra "seeker, you still live?" And also lissandra mention of hourglasses in song of nunu game
That Sin Eater could be a reference of Soul Eater antagonist, Kishin
11:33 A GAMMMEEE THEORY
I am beyond confused why are Black Market Brawlers items here?
Sin eater? Demon of Sin? Something something the first sin, something something a primal demon
isnt it the crown of URF? 7:52
The icathian item also works the same as sunfire except magic resist instead of armor. So it basically is sunfire cape when playing against ap
Omg Ruination was so good, I'm so glad I read it. I'm still sad we won't really get more color stories.
The Skull on the Shuriman item looks more to me like a Beatle or type of bug with its wings being the blue gems.
Isn't the item at 7:55 just pantheons crown? Or am I thinking of one of his skins
Even Necrit's T-shirt is canon now
Wouldnt the knuckles be from the arena thats uswd for the "glory in navori" stuff?? Which im pretty sure was ionian?
New item - cool
New item lore - I sleep
The map is ok, if you turn it left the island inbetween the continents becomes Ionia and the light thing is pointing to camavore
i see zak'zak and i can't help but think about zz'rot. maybe this is the spiritual successor to that item in lore (obviously not in how it functions in game)
