@@kylewhamond4031 there is the interesting theory that summs it all up and adding the clues from the show, wish it will be true ua-cam.com/video/5syLSuwM9mo/v-deo.html
If I learned something from League lore, Singed probably got some sort of monkey's paw for Orianna. Which leads to him committing more war crimes in Runeterra just for his daughter
In the very first episode of the show, Powder saw a blimp and said "One day, I'm gonna ride one of those things." I strongly believe she's still alive. That last shot is there for a reason.
@@JustCauseFan No, it honestly doesn't because what would be the point of her dying when she died 5 times at the start of the episode? That takes away from the theme presented. Her talk with Ekko shows that and the talk with Silco in EP 8.
It was definitely felt good to see it pan out that way, but I don't think it was brilliant story telling. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely fan service with a lot of plotholes. It makes sense if you don't ask questions, but the moment you do... Like--why didn't Jayce just show Victor this from the start instead of blasting him, leading up to a war and the death of a lot of people. Viktor definitely would have stopped if he knew it would lead to an empty husk of a world. Other questions would be: "How did Viktor go back in time to save Jayce?" when he couldn't even comprehend Ekko's time travel device, saying it couldn't exist. He didn't know how to do it himself, so how did he do it? Lastly, if giving the child Jayce the Arcane wristband led to this, why did Viktor do it in the first place? It's a paradox. It would make more sense if the mage that gave Jayce his wristband was just a random mage or just anybody else, then Viktor showing up in the alternate universe to ask Jayce to stop him in the original timeline would be fine.
for the people in the back that didn't get all the hints - back in episode 2 : "wether I pull the pin or not, everyone close to me dies". That comes back to haunt Jinx with Isha and Vander. Whe doesn't want that to happen to Vi. - Jinx's conversation with Silco, where he basically tells her that to break the cycle you need to have the will to walk away. Jinx interpreted that at the time as su*cide, but it's clear it had another meaning. - Jinx conversation with Vi when she frees her "you're not gonna give up on me are you" then "you deserve to be happy without feeling guilty" Jinx knows that as long as she would be around Vi, Vi could not be happy without remorse. Vi would never stop chasing her, and the fact that jinx killed Caitlyn's mom would always be a problem. "you deserve to be happy with her." You could think that all of this leads to Jinx sacrificing herself to fulfill all the previous points with her not in the picture, Vi can finally move on. But that would be fogetting Ekko's intervention at the begenning of episode 9 "no matter what heppened in the past, it's never too late to build something new, someone wortt building it for". So instead of sacrifice, Jinx just decides to leave. And the end of episode 9 makes it pretty clear - Caitlyn looking at the air ducts and vents of the hex gates, where Jinx could have escaped - The airship you see at the very end is the EXACT same one you see at the very begenning of season 1 episode 1, with Powder saying one day, I'll ride in one of thise things - the end frames saying the end that are 100% in the glitchy style of Jinx - and for the keen eyed, you litterally see her escaping the explosion of her hextech grenade before it explodes you see a straight pink trail going away this is Jinx using her shimmer speed (that we've seen in epidode 3,4 and 6) to escape the explosion and jump in an air duct. Jinx simulates her death, to allow Vi to move on and have a happy life with Caitlyn, and break the cycle. But she's also applying Ekko's advice about letting the past go, and focus on building something new. I guess she didn't grab Ekko with her when leaving, because the trauma of losing Isha (and the everyone close to me dies thing) is still very much at the back of her mind. This is the perfect ending for the character of Jinx in my opinion. A happy ending with her going fine with Caitlyn would have been way out of place and weird, just like Jinx staying around, being a problem between Vi and Cait. You bet she's on that airship, getting away from Piltover. And about her relationship with Ekko, coming from the mouth of showrunner Christian Linke himself when he was interviewed by Necrit : "I think we've built a beautiful relationship within Jinx and Ekko, and it's not over."
I think what Silco was trying to convey was forgiveness. It was hinted in the good timeline with Echo that he has the capacity to forgive and I think that's where the fatherly voice in Jinx's mind went in the prison scene. To break the cycle, one must learn to walk away. A parallel to Ambessa's take on vengeance for the fallen. The cycle ends when you gain the strength to forgive and walk away from it all. I agree Jinx originally took it as sacrifice, then self sacrifice at the end, but Echo got to her in the end and I'm sure Jinx chose to forgive. Forgive her sister for abandoning her and forgive herself for causing the death of their father, beautifully portrayed in her farewell embrace with Warwick. And her fighting to survive and escaping to give Vi the chance to move on is a testimate to Echo's advice to Powder. Sometimes to take a leap forward, you have to leave things behind. The best written character in Arcane!
Also, when we see people at the end writing names on papers and then burning it, we see Ekko doing the same. Now its a wild theory, but i think he might have wrote Heimerdingers name on that paper, and he knows that she is alive. Just something i want to believe in.
There's a non-zero chance Jinx thought Ekko was just another voice in her head at first, and that's why she didn't seem concerned about blowing him up too. Only when she accepted that he was really there did she switch to jumping off the ledge instead, so she wouldn't hurt him...
@@FiryaFYI Yeah but supposedly it is like 99% the case, otherwise there wouldnt be reason for the blimp, cait checking the vents and the random pink light XD
I saw some people discuss a neat detail about Ekko. In this episode we see Future Viktor give Jayce different runes in an attempt to stop the future. In the reality that comes to pass the rune given to Jayce is what inspired Ekko (as said in Episode 7) to make the Z Drive which helped him get home.
I love Ekko and Jynx had graffiti of each other in the final battle. Ekko has an X on his chest in Jynx’s colors, and Jynx’s balloon/hideout has Firelight/Ekko symbols too. The balloon also had homages for Isha too, which is a super nice detail, especially since nothing was said about her in the finale.
16:07 *Angelina sobbing profusely and sees next scene cuts to Caitlyn with eye patch* Angelina: “Caitlyn with the one eye patch is craaaaazy” as she continues to sob. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was getting emotional too but that reaction part took me out.
this finale aired just before i started my final exam to become a math teacher. i pre-traumatized myself to get it out of the way early! it was perfect
Ang is one of the only reaction channels that makes me cry when she cries! You can tell her heart breaks with ours for the characters and it’s sad all over again. Absolutely beautiful final episode, and a phenomenal series! Can’t wait for the spinoffs!
I'll raise your spirits. Jinx didn't die, she got out through the vents with her speed and took the airship they showed in the end. She walked away, breaking the cycle
@@Real_GenjiThat is still just a theory though, they left it open on purpose, but they might really kill her off considering that it would feel way too cheap for her to appear in some of the future shows. And in this timeline Singed still didn’t commit war crimes. He did some fucked up things though, really funny seeing Singed getting the best ending out of the bunch.
@@KeelahSelai161 It's a theory until proven otherwise, just because you are sure she is alive doesn't mean she is. It can be purposefully done for misdirection, same way they misdirected people into thinking Viktor was actually Ryze. If they wanted you to be sure she is alive they would show her in aftercredits or something.
Can i also point out that when the pink shimmer line happens (ie jinx escaping), the lyric at that exact moment is "but i ran out" - might be a stretch but taken with all the other coincidences... #jinxisalive
I've seen a lot of people who are unsatisfied with the finale. I understand that a few more episodes would have helped, like more Isha or showing what Cait actually did as a dictator. Personally, they nailed the ending with the timeframe afforded to them. They hit the right notes and didn't overstay anything. Ekko MVP
The woman with the blue hair was the first prisoner to touch Jinx's shoulder on the rescue and the waitress Mylo was trying to hit on in the other timeline. I think we had a full cycle... I think Cait was using Maddie to deal with her pain and Ambessa found out and turned Maddie against Cait.
14:50 I Just realized a hella depressing parallel to this scene. Y’all remember in season 1 episode 1 when Vi caught Powder when she was just abt to fall off that roof? This is the parallel to that. I’m gonna go cry now🥲✌️
I'm so relieved that I wasn't the only one that was a FREAKING MESS in the scene with Jayce & Viktor and the Jinxs sacrifice, especially the last one I COULDN'T STOP CRYING, also you are real for praising Mel gorgeous looks while still crying for all the deaths, I was the same. Ekko my boy give up a happy universe because he knew that hus people need him, and now just have his memories, Vi loosing her family so many times, and so many people loose their lifes and loves ones, yet finally finally they have a voice and could build a tomorrow for their people, as it should be since the beginning, I'm happy but I'm sad and confuse. This series is probably going to be remember as one of the best, the art, the soundtrack, the stories, the character are so gray, so imperfect, so much layers and complex, so human. Wherever call this show a greek tradegy it was so right.
You said it, Jinx has the best redemption arc ever🤖🩵🙌🏼Seeing this again and seeing you cry was even more emotional😭😭😭You are unique cause every emotional shock this episode put you through I felt, your feelings come out and grab us🥰You have done an exceptional job reacting to this show👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼You’ve extraordinary⭐️🌙🪐🫶🏼
I love the fact that Jinx noticed Ekko Z-Drive with her signature little monkey and might've guessed that the person Ekko was referring to when he said "someone special" was herself.
That jolly chimp is the symbol of the Arcane, not just of magical energy in the show as well as this show business itself. Everything came from it since 2013, when 'Get Jinxed' MV released. What Jinx wanted was just a little bit of fun but it caused explosion and destruction to somewhere. But if she never activated the chimp then nothing would happened to her universe and ours.
This finale felt almost like Inception. There’s multiple high stakes plot lines going on simultaneously, time is manipulated in a very brilliant and entertaining way, and the whole episode needs to be rewatched to completely understand all of the incredibly important, subtle things that you absolutely miss on the first viewing.
Jinx is alive. You can see her shimmer away right as the explosion goes off. This is why Caitlyn is looking at the building's vent system and we see an airship like the one she wanted to fly in from season 1.
Sadly, not true. If you actually watch slowly you see the effect multiple times flashing on and off. So if your hypothesis is true, then there are 4 Jinx's that left. As well as there are the exact same jolts of multiple colors. So its just how the artist drew the fx. Caitlyn looking at the vents is a far better rabbit hole to go down or put your money on.
@@iceman10129 No Jinx is alive. There was only 1 pink streak the rest are orange from the initial blast and then blue electricity. Go rewatch it in a slowed down speed.
I CALLED IT!!! I F-ING CALLED IT!!!! Maddie and Ambessa working together!!!! And I feel so vindicated now that it was also confirmed by the lead writer!!! Maddie was a plant all along!! - Maddie was the first to beat her chest - Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them” - Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder - Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it - Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie. Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.
As a former league player and jinx main, this show was amazing. There are a bunch of clues that suggest jinx might be alive. Some might be just fans coping, some could be solid. Cait looking at vent diagrams while holding a monkey bomb head. Pink/purple streak jetting out of explosion. Last shot of s2 is a blimp, and in s1e1 powder mentioned she's gonna ride those one day. Also in netflix's arcane after glow for s2 act 3, the cast and creators were asked if jinx was still alive? Ella Purnell sheepishly said "we dont know, we’ll leave that open to interpretation", then she hid behind the question card smiling. Anyway love your guys channel, looking forward to more reactions!
A few theories to tickle the brain: 1) I don’t think Jinx died. Right before the explosion, u see a bright purple flash of light dash away from the explosion area. I think when Jinx said “Always with you, even when we’re world apart” she meant it quite literally. Jinx probably planned to help and then leave Pilltover or go into hiding to still end the cycle and let Vi live in peace with Cait. Jinx may go into hiding like Silco or she may more likely go to another nation. Even Caitlyn was looking into the explosion. She was holding Jinx’s monkey head and looking at the hexgate structure to see if maybe she got away through one of the air ducts. I think Caitlyn found out that Jinx got away from the explosion and is out there somewhere. Who knows if she will tell Vi though 🤷♂️ 2) This kinda goes with #1 but a friend of mine thinks that Jinx is riding the blimp at the end because in episode 1 Powder said “One day I’m going to ride on one of those things.” So ey she may be going to the next nation we will be introduced to and she may be our traveling psycho and quirky protagonist. 3) Viktor from this timeline actually WAS NOT going to become like the doomed timelines. In the convo Viktor and Singed had, Viktor spoke about fate and if Singed believes in it(probably because Viktor had an idea of what his fate is and didn’t want to accept that fate). Singed said he doesn’t believe in fate because he believes in evolution, that evolution is what guides us or wtv. Viktor then says that evolution has an end though, it is what Viktor considers “the glorious evolution.” Which as we see, the glorious evolution does stop all sorts of senselessness but Viktor is lonely). Anyway back to the Viktor and Singed convo, Viktor then ends the convo by saying that he does not want to continue into such an evolution by merging with warwick. Viktor actually still cared about the humanity in people, he didn’t want to sacrifice the humanity in everyone. All those people in his village WERE NOT lifeless beings. They were all people who still had their humanity but without the setbacks like pain, suffering, feeling hot or cold, or any sort of body pains. They were all doing what they wanted(they had blacksmiths, fruit vendors, cooks, people playing out in the street). Viktor was healing and evolving everyone while keeping their humanity in there. Jayce however caused a paradox where he is the one that causes his Viktor to turn into every other Viktor from the other timelines. Viktor from the other timelines is like the Viktor from the actual LoL lore, he wanted to turn everyone into the perfect lifeless robot machine beings. Our Viktor was different. We even see his humanity go away during the transformation. Skye was his final piece of humanity keeping him in check but because of Jayce, Viktor decided to be like “you know what? Ye u right, fuck humanity and their free will, lemme just take that shit away from them.” 4) Heimerdinger isn’t dead. What if Heimerdinger actually got transported back with Ekko to their timeline? Just that Heimerdinger ended up in an entirely different nation. Maybe Heimerdinger will meet up with Jinx in whatever nation she goes to. Maybe she meets up with Jayce in Viktor in wherever they teleported to. 5) Jayce and Viktor are not actually dead. That sound at the end was the same sound as when the hexgates were teleporting ships off. It is also the same sound when Viktor teleported Jayce and his mom to safety. Once again, its the sound we hear when evil Viktor teleports Jayce back to Jayce’s actual timeline. Maybe they teleported off somewhere together. Maybe they teleported off to another timeline and start the cycle all over again and then save that timeline. That is all. Hope they make you think a bit 😁
Jinx is 900% Alive. We can see a purple flash leaving the explosion smoke in a direction. The map Caitlyn was reading had pipes near the explosion going same direction the flash above went. The ''The END'' was Jinx's style. Every character became what they were in the League universe which means Jinx needs to be alive.
I love your reaction so much because I was the same and still am. I watched the last episode two days ago and Im still not over it and cried again watching your reaction. I am alone so people like you help me grieve, this show was a masterpiece and thanks for your reactions.
some people think Jinx is alive. i do as well before the bomb goes off there is purple lighting leaving witch, we only see with jinx. plus the fact catlen is looking through the air vents and the unknow boot leaving.
I got good news! One of the directors of creators of arcane has confirmed they are working on 3 New LoL shows like arcane, one has been in production for over a year already
*“This world is a wasteland, please let me go”,* in the beginning it’s a song about suicide, but with the end HEAVILY implying that Jinx survived and escaped, it’s about how she’s done with everything in Zaun and Piltover and just wants to leave to start a new life. She knew that if Vi knew or even suspected she was alive she would do anything and everything to get back to her sister. But Jinx doesn’t want to burden Vi with having to feel like she had to choose between her and a happy life with Cait, and she knows that if she is to *truly* start healing herself, she needs to do so on her own.
@ I know and I wish they put that last part in the episode proper, but they wanted to give audiences a sense of dread, and that last line gives you hope.
I get that Jinx believes it to be the case, but I don't think it's genuinely true that the only way Vi could be happy is if Jinx is no longer in her life. It is probably extremely healthy for Jinx to get some time completely to herself and divorced from her past to figure herself out, but I'd like to imagine those two can still reconnect down the line whenever Jinx is ready. They both deserve it.
Jayce and Victor are literally soulmates (wanna cry even more🥲?: Nobody probably wrote Victors name on a note, bc he was seen as a villain at the end.)
Yup, even though all Viktor ever wanted to do is helping people from the very start. It's tragic to see what happened to him, but at least Jayce is with him now.
I love your reactions(channel) so much, i m glad to see person who understands every character and very attentive to small details , Silco and Jinx(Powder) was my favorite characters all along, i dont believe someone could hate them, also wanna say about Jinx death, there is pink glimpse of shimmer leading away from the explosion, they didnt find the body and because of that Caitlyn checking out building plan, and the series ending with the flyship that Powder wanted to ride in 1st season , she is alive and starting a new life somewhere finally breaking the cycle.
Rewatching you notice details. Opening. Each time Ekko rewound time he came closer to Jinx until she couldn't detonate without injuring him, hence falling to her death and detonating...Jinx still cares.
To anyone who's coping with the theory of Jinx is alive. Sorry to bust your bubble but she's dead. Jinx's grenade always releases an violet beam before explode. So the beam you saw is from the grenade. Furthermore, Singed killed Vander's persona, Only Warwick left. What make you think Warwick would voluntary release Jinx from his grip? Jinx is clearly not strong enough to escape his hands, not to mention she had only 3-4 second to reach the ventilator WHILE FALLING. If she missed or slow and weak it means death. In fact, physically and logically, Warwick has higher change to withstand and survive the grenade blast than Jinx. So listen to the advice of the song. Stop with the copium, embrace her sacrifice and LET HER GO.
Yeah but she also releases that violet beam when she uses her shimmer abilities. You can see that when she tricks Vi in the cell, even the sound effect is the same. And with Cait holding a fragment of her grenade in hand, looking at the excape routes she could've taken AND the airship in the end being the exact one Powder said in episode 1 she was going to ride some day, it's pretty safe to say she just faked it to break the cycle
Ange! Jinx is definitely alive, there are 3 pieces of evidence: 1. Stray purple streak during the explosion 2. Caitlyn is looking through the schematics of the vent system of SPECIFICALLY the Hexgate before smiling at her destroyed Monkeybomb 3. The final shot is both a callback to her line in the very first episode as children, and it VERY quickly flashes "The End" in her signature style
Also I can’t blame you for not noticing this I didn’t either But Jinx is most likely alive there’s like 4 frames immediately after the explosion which shows she gets away indicated by the pink shimmer streak It’s implied she most likely left for good and is forever distancing herself from anyone she cares about, many people theorize that she left on the airship in the final scene and I agree The scene is a callback to what powder said in S1 Ep1 start and the airship even enters the frame the EXACT same way and it’s the EXACT same airship model
Jinx is actually alive, during the explosion u can see a pink shimmer line that happens when jinx zoom away, and previous episodes in the prison silco says to break the cycle by walking away, and during season 1 powder says she wants to ride the balloon one day so at the end they show us the balloon going away and closing the end in jinx style.
It is sad, I wish for our Jinx to found the way (and will) to live, she (for she, not for Powder from paralel universe, ... but it is comforting that in paralel universe Powder exists too, and lives good life) deserved it after all she got through, but, well this ending is also bringing her peace...
Ekko MVP Jinx bestest! I was watching this with my daughter & her BF at midnight once it was out. Before the credits rolled I said “Jinx got out. She can out speed an explosion. But we probably won’t see her until they do a few new characters and regions. Then they will do a LoL “Avengers” thing. Which will be amazeballs!
Jinx is alive btw You can see her pruple streak of shimmer as she dashes ojt right before the explosion (if you slow it down) Also there is a reason they shwo us Caitlyn looking at possible escape routes jinx had Finally, the last shot beinb the blimp powder promised to ride on one day Truth is jinx is dead and powder is reborn and with everyone thinking shes gone, she can vreak the cycle not by killing herself but by leaving to rebuild and heal herself from her deep traumas and guilt over everything she's done I think we'll see her again and we'll prob see ekko again too, as the show creators said ekko and jinx's story is "worth continuing in the future" So we might see them in the future series of this universe If you made it this far thank you for reading all this Angelina, few creators would Much love, your channel is amazing
Its look like jinx survived. "she died/got away " to end the cyckle, like she said. Few hints where given and on todays behind scenes, the question was asked, is she dead, and answer was "no one knows" also the actress smiling and hiding her face behind quenote. But Viktor and jayce are gone, also heimerdinger and Vander and his beast mode
I love always your reaction’s and the way you understood and analyse the shows and movies Powder vs Jinx is alive !!! No body, no death. The first sentence that Powder says in the show in the first episode is ( one day, I’m gonna ride in one of those things ) And the last scene of Arcane she rides one of those things and flies away across the sea, leaving the city. Also Silco say ( I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away ) And also Ekko say ( Sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind ) Jinx vs Powder fly away in the boat that she said that one day she would ride
The Jinxer who Vi tried to save isn't just a random Jinxer, she's one who's front-and-center when Jinx breaks them out of prison, and she's the bandmate alternate Milo tries to hit on in episode 7
Hmmm. Jinx didn't die. There are several things to indicate this. One of the best things is on a certain frame right as the explosion happens, you see one of those pink streaks that Jinx uses when she kind of teleports. I'd encourage you to look at all the reasons why she's still alive. Feels good ^^
I think my only problem with the finale is that it should’ve been way longer. They kind of disregard the whole Piltover vs Zaun thing in the finale, Isna is not even mentioned once, Sevika doesn’t say a single line, we don’t see Ekko and Jinx’s full reunion, it’s clear the show was meant to be a lot longer but they had to cut for time. However, the stuff they do show in it was glorious, episode 7 is easily my favourite. Heimerdinger’s song has been stuck in my head since I heard it, I loved Ekko reconnecting with (a version of) Jinx, Jayce’s journey to understand the dangers of Hextech was agonizingly beautiful, Heimerdinger sacrificing himself so Ekko can complete the mission, Ekko’s final look at Jinx before he goes through the anomaly portal, god it was so good. I’m gonna miss this show.
7:00 - The Kid is the one who who closed his Piano to volunteer to defend his city. He saw the under-city Jinxer breathe her last breathe after trying to defend topside after topside oppressed the under-city, and saw Loras's dying at his post. He will be part of the change towards reconciliation. Pilt-over has very strong Republican undertones and the Zaun far from Republican ideals either. The Victor Commune was the various Paris Communes. Jinx waving the flag is very Joan of Arc inspired. Fortiche might might be culturally inspired by this and Frances is on it's 5th Republic since 1792?
I would agree on Screwing Maddie too 5:44 but Caitlyn already did that in Ep 4. THE PARALLELS. Actual Goated writers and everyone else that worked on the show.
You know there's something that's been bothering me. Someone who's been left out of all the praise. My boi Chuck, he ran in there with everyone else, praise be to Chuck.
This is obviously not confirmed but there are a lot of theories in the arcane community that show Jinx is probably alive. You can see a violet (shimmer like) lighting just before the explosion, besides Caitlyin checks the ventilation system with the monkey bomb in her hand (they probably did not find a body) and smiles. Finally, in the first season Powder says: I ll ride one of those (referring to the zeppelin) and in the last scene we can see one flying away. :)
With another (awesome) animated series down I'd love to see you on a RWBY journey starting with the original colour trailers, "Red", "White", "Black" and "Yellow" to help gauge your interest and all! To be clear they're not actual trailers and more character shorts/introductions for the four main badass ladies of the show as they attempt to explore and learn more about the world and themselves! Collectively they're only around 20 minutes so it would be a quick reaction! And the vids are all on youtube. RWBY has kickass action with badass ladies, great designs, crazy weapons, a ton of charm and appealing characters, banger reaction worthy soundtracks, good laughs, romantic drama, cool villains, plenty of tense angst and an awesome unique fictional world!
Jinx is alive, when the explosion happened you can see a purple lining going to a ventilation, she was even told that her cycle of destruction and misery will only end once shes gone, so she faked her death so VI can have a happy life also its been confirmed as well that theres going to be spin offs from the show so we most likely will get one about ekko, mel and so on maybe even kait's and vi's story or maybe even powder/Jinx
THEORY TIME: I'm pretty sure they were signaling Jinx survived: 1) I believe, the one single pink thread during the explosion to the one of the vents is her shimmer glitch. 2) see Cait searching the vents with Jinx's bomb in her hand to look for her. 3) The final scene with the air ducts was a reference back to first episode where Powder was saying, she would ride one of them one day 4) She found the will to walk away, just like Silco said. 5) So I will also assume Jinx saying "I'm always with you, even when we're worlds apart" was indeed a foreshadowing. With all that being said, I don't know if we'll ever get a 100% proof of this since the series is coming to an end. I mean they confirmed that we'll get to see other stories from the Lol Lore but who knows if they are actually planning on bringing them back or if it was just a wink at the audience 🙃
i believe jinx is alive they show a little shimmer dash and dont reveal who was on the airship so it was probably jinx "walking away" they also showed blueprints of the vent she woulda dashed through
Game of Thrones WISHES it could have morally complex characters like this show. Or nailing an ending like this. I will be watching ANYTHING that these people do next!!
100% my favorite character Jinx is not Dead just watched a video break down the evidences is there there was a pink Strick right before the explosion plus Caitlin was looking at blueprints of the piping and she To came to the same conclusion jinx is alive she then goes to VI wondering if she should tell her and decides not to what does this mean You Know it Jinx will be in the future seasons maybe as a side character doesn't matter just tell me jinx is there that's all that matters!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳 o and when Jinx said she needs to break the cycle, she meant leaving not killing her self she already tired that echo saved her from that fate because he wouldn't give up on her or self sacrifice she confirms this by repeating to Vi Always with you sis she was leaving so she can break this cycle. Jinx is a 100% A masterpiece 👏👏👏👏 👌 10/10 CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE.
When jinx locked vi up in the cellar she said “you deserve to be with her” now that she sacrificed herself now Vi can finally take care of herself now because she doesint have the responsibility of going after Jinx bc of what she has done/what she will do next
To be honest, I hated how they portrayed Viktor as a villain. He only had good intentions even in the end, considering he did heal people with the Arcane and his community was peaceful. It wasn't until Jayce had tried to kill him and all hell broke lose afterwards that he realised that humanity is doomed by their emotions and that war, greed and suffering will never end because of that, so with that realisation and the influence of the Arcane he went on with his plan cure all of humanity. It sucks that they portrayed him as a villain and the final boss and greater evil that needs to be defeated by everyone and even connecting Piltover and Zaun, which is exactly what Viktor always wanted from the start, and speed running his development just so he could be somewhat like his League counterpart who isn't even a villain and just someone who helps people with their permission smh. At least they made him regret his decision, revealed that the mage who saved Jayce and his mom was Viktor and that he went back in time multiple times to try and avoid the dystopian future and had him save the world with Jayce by destroying the anomaly. The thought of everyone in Piltover and Zaun not knowing what actually happened and believing that Viktor was the evil villain who doomed them all, while Jayce was the brave hero who saved the world and sacrificed himself is just heartbreaking and tragic and they deserved much better. I wish they just went with his League of Legends version and had him heal people with his inventions in Zaun instead of making him a god who controls everyone with the intention of curing humanity and regretting it.
If it makes you feel any better, in the first few frames of the explosion that jinx did with her grenade while being held by warwick, you can see a pink line traveling away from the explosion. Arcane is a 250 million dollar show, they didnt add that in for nothing. Idc what you tell me, jinx is 100% alive.
"The cycle only ends when you choose to walk away." Be she dead or somewhere far from Piltover, Jinx is dead. But that doesn't mean Powder isn't still out there.
I'm still grieving
umm blimp theory says she's still alive
i cant believe the whole show is over, i can't wait to see what they make next tho
Jinx is alive, there’s lots of evidence proving she’s alive but only pretending to be gone

the bomb didnt bug it was sabotaged by maddie. they show her handing it to the guy who was supposed to deliver the bomb
I saw the nail but didn't noticed Maddie was the one passing the bomb
Oh wow! Nice pickup. I didn’t even notice.
Seeing the nail was when I realised I was wrong about her
holy f*k bro I was like: the reason was just a small nail? Lazy writing etc. BUT I GET IT NOW. TY TY TY
everyone: depressed or crying because they lost something
singed: got everything he ever wanted, what a chad
help 😭
singed mains: You crazy son of a bitch you did it.
What we learned? As long as your mindset is on that love grind, even being a war criminal wont stop you from achieving your goals
If I learned something from League lore, Singed probably got some sort of monkey's paw for Orianna.
Which leads to him committing more war crimes in Runeterra just for his daughter
Oh you better believe, he just started 😂😂😂😂...
In the very first episode of the show, Powder saw a blimp and said "One day, I'm gonna ride one of those things." I strongly believe she's still alive. That last shot is there for a reason.
i agree, but i think her being dead is the better ending, it completes her arc and makes more sense
@@JustCauseFani know, but with all the hints, its kinda obvious she still alive
@nonyourbusiness165 even if she lived the persona jinx 100% died there
@@JustCauseFan No, it honestly doesn't because what would be the point of her dying when she died 5 times at the start of the episode? That takes away from the theme presented. Her talk with Ekko shows that and the talk with Silco in EP 8.
You really gotta post this same comment under every reaction, don't you? Also, sure, could be true, could also be a lot of copium though.
My man Ekko gave up the universe of his dreams so he could save everyone. Truly the GOAT. He certainly lived up to his title of "The Boy Savior."
Time to main ekko just to honor him
Correction - "The Boy Who Shattered Time"
I WILL DIE on this hill
Is it really that great if Vi isn't alive in it?
meanwhile singed laughing in the corner because he got everything he could ever want through making everyone elses lives worse through war crimes xD
Do you just have a google alert on arcane videos so you can post the exact same comment on every one?
The resolution to Jayce and Victor's story is one of the best things I've seen from a show in a really, really long time. Such a brilliant story.
It was definitely felt good to see it pan out that way, but I don't think it was brilliant story telling. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely fan service with a lot of plotholes. It makes sense if you don't ask questions, but the moment you do... Like--why didn't Jayce just show Victor this from the start instead of blasting him, leading up to a war and the death of a lot of people. Viktor definitely would have stopped if he knew it would lead to an empty husk of a world.
Other questions would be: "How did Viktor go back in time to save Jayce?" when he couldn't even comprehend Ekko's time travel device, saying it couldn't exist. He didn't know how to do it himself, so how did he do it? Lastly, if giving the child Jayce the Arcane wristband led to this, why did Viktor do it in the first place? It's a paradox. It would make more sense if the mage that gave Jayce his wristband was just a random mage or just anybody else, then Viktor showing up in the alternate universe to ask Jayce to stop him in the original timeline would be fine.
for the people in the back that didn't get all the hints
- back in episode 2 : "wether I pull the pin or not, everyone close to me dies". That comes back to haunt Jinx with Isha and Vander. Whe doesn't want that to happen to Vi.
- Jinx's conversation with Silco, where he basically tells her that to break the cycle you need to have the will to walk away. Jinx interpreted that at the time as su*cide, but it's clear it had another meaning.
- Jinx conversation with Vi when she frees her "you're not gonna give up on me are you" then "you deserve to be happy without feeling guilty" Jinx knows that as long as she would be around Vi, Vi could not be happy without remorse. Vi would never stop chasing her, and the fact that jinx killed Caitlyn's mom would always be a problem. "you deserve to be happy with her."
You could think that all of this leads to Jinx sacrificing herself to fulfill all the previous points with her not in the picture, Vi can finally move on. But that would be fogetting Ekko's intervention at the begenning of episode 9 "no matter what heppened in the past, it's never too late to build something new, someone wortt building it for". So instead of sacrifice, Jinx just decides to leave. And the end of episode 9 makes it pretty clear
- Caitlyn looking at the air ducts and vents of the hex gates, where Jinx could have escaped
- The airship you see at the very end is the EXACT same one you see at the very begenning of season 1 episode 1, with Powder saying one day, I'll ride in one of thise things
- the end frames saying the end that are 100% in the glitchy style of Jinx
- and for the keen eyed, you litterally see her escaping the explosion of her hextech grenade before it explodes you see a straight pink trail going away this is Jinx using her shimmer speed (that we've seen in epidode 3,4 and 6) to escape the explosion and jump in an air duct.
Jinx simulates her death, to allow Vi to move on and have a happy life with Caitlyn, and break the cycle. But she's also applying Ekko's advice about letting the past go, and focus on building something new. I guess she didn't grab Ekko with her when leaving, because the trauma of losing Isha (and the everyone close to me dies thing) is still very much at the back of her mind.
This is the perfect ending for the character of Jinx in my opinion. A happy ending with her going fine with Caitlyn would have been way out of place and weird, just like Jinx staying around, being a problem between Vi and Cait. You bet she's on that airship, getting away from Piltover.
And about her relationship with Ekko, coming from the mouth of showrunner Christian Linke himself when he was interviewed by Necrit : "I think we've built a beautiful relationship within Jinx and Ekko, and it's not over."
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sometimes to move forward, you gotta leave a few things behind
@robertdelossantos5844 you get it
I think what Silco was trying to convey was forgiveness. It was hinted in the good timeline with Echo that he has the capacity to forgive and I think that's where the fatherly voice in Jinx's mind went in the prison scene. To break the cycle, one must learn to walk away. A parallel to Ambessa's take on vengeance for the fallen. The cycle ends when you gain the strength to forgive and walk away from it all. I agree Jinx originally took it as sacrifice, then self sacrifice at the end, but Echo got to her in the end and I'm sure Jinx chose to forgive. Forgive her sister for abandoning her and forgive herself for causing the death of their father, beautifully portrayed in her farewell embrace with Warwick. And her fighting to survive and escaping to give Vi the chance to move on is a testimate to Echo's advice to Powder. Sometimes to take a leap forward, you have to leave things behind. The best written character in Arcane!
Also, when we see people at the end writing names on papers and then burning it, we see Ekko doing the same. Now its a wild theory, but i think he might have wrote Heimerdingers name on that paper, and he knows that she is alive. Just something i want to believe in.
the way jinx switched from blowing herself up to falling off the ledge so she wouldnt kill ekko too makes me so emotional
There's a non-zero chance Jinx thought Ekko was just another voice in her head at first, and that's why she didn't seem concerned about blowing him up too. Only when she accepted that he was really there did she switch to jumping off the ledge instead, so she wouldn't hurt him...
@@stonerbrony Ekko: …trying to stop an old friend from blowing us both up.
Jinx: Bet. *jumps*
😭😭
15:19
Just a split second before the explosion we see a dash of light going up. This is Jinx running away from the explosion.
As well as Caitlyn looking at the hexgates and seeing the cooling system being attached to it an smiling once she saw it 🤔
You are so true
Just here to say SUPPOSEDLY. :)
@@FiryaFYI Yeah but supposedly it is like 99% the case, otherwise there wouldnt be reason for the blimp, cait checking the vents and the random pink light XD
@@prostechlapec9247This. The artists are very particular with their attention to detail.
I saw some people discuss a neat detail about Ekko. In this episode we see Future Viktor give Jayce different runes in an attempt to stop the future. In the reality that comes to pass the rune given to Jayce is what inspired Ekko (as said in Episode 7) to make the Z Drive which helped him get home.
That rune is also called the rune of inspiration. Neat detail :)
Arcane will always be remembered as one of the greatest shows ever made. I really enjoyed the show. I will miss it
I love Ekko and Jynx had graffiti of each other in the final battle. Ekko has an X on his chest in Jynx’s colors, and Jynx’s balloon/hideout has Firelight/Ekko symbols too. The balloon also had homages for Isha too, which is a super nice detail, especially since nothing was said about her in the finale.
16:07
*Angelina sobbing profusely and sees next scene cuts to Caitlyn with eye patch*
Angelina: “Caitlyn with the one eye patch is craaaaazy” as she continues to sob.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was getting emotional too but that reaction part took me out.
😂😂😂😂 ik i also go “ pretty eyeshadow” and have NO recollection of anything i said after jinxs sacrifice scene. i was HURTING hahaha
this finale aired just before i started my final exam to become a math teacher.
i pre-traumatized myself to get it out of the way early! it was perfect
Hope you did wonderfully ❤
Ang is one of the only reaction channels that makes me cry when she cries! You can tell her heart breaks with ours for the characters and it’s sad all over again. Absolutely beautiful final episode, and a phenomenal series! Can’t wait for the spinoffs!
I'll raise your spirits. Jinx didn't die, she got out through the vents with her speed and took the airship they showed in the end. She walked away, breaking the cycle
Singed got his happy ending. Major Singed W.
lesson of arcane: war crimes will get you want you want xD
@ true, jinx committed many war crimes and gets to walk away without punishment
@@Real_GenjiThat is still just a theory though, they left it open on purpose, but they might really kill her off considering that it would feel way too cheap for her to appear in some of the future shows. And in this timeline Singed still didn’t commit war crimes. He did some fucked up things though, really funny seeing Singed getting the best ending out of the bunch.
@@ProFac992 its not a theory she is alive its obvious
@@KeelahSelai161 It's a theory until proven otherwise, just because you are sure she is alive doesn't mean she is. It can be purposefully done for misdirection, same way they misdirected people into thinking Viktor was actually Ryze. If they wanted you to be sure she is alive they would show her in aftercredits or something.
Can i also point out that when the pink shimmer line happens (ie jinx escaping), the lyric at that exact moment is "but i ran out" - might be a stretch but taken with all the other coincidences... #jinxisalive
Jayce and Viktor are the core of the show
But Jinx and Vi are the heart of it
The hexcore of the show, one could say
I've seen a lot of people who are unsatisfied with the finale. I understand that a few more episodes would have helped, like more Isha or showing what Cait actually did as a dictator.
Personally, they nailed the ending with the timeframe afforded to them. They hit the right notes and didn't overstay anything.
Ekko MVP
There are also some people saying the Vi and Cait sex scene should be cut short while Ekko persuading Jinx was supposed to be longer
The woman with the blue hair was the first prisoner to touch Jinx's shoulder on the rescue and the waitress Mylo was trying to hit on in the other timeline.
I think we had a full cycle... I think Cait was using Maddie to deal with her pain and Ambessa found out and turned Maddie against Cait.
I think that Maddie was a plant, a honey pot. Even her weapon of choice was a smoke grenade launcher, concealment. She was subterfuge all the way.
I'm pretty sure Maddie is Marcus' daughter.
@@spiralwarrior6569 Marcus Daughter was called Ren and she is just a little kid, nothing to do with Maddie
14:50 I Just realized a hella depressing parallel to this scene. Y’all remember in season 1 episode 1 when Vi caught Powder when she was just abt to fall off that roof? This is the parallel to that. I’m gonna go cry now🥲✌️
I'm so relieved that I wasn't the only one that was a FREAKING MESS in the scene with Jayce & Viktor and the Jinxs sacrifice, especially the last one I COULDN'T STOP CRYING, also you are real for praising Mel gorgeous looks while still crying for all the deaths, I was the same. Ekko my boy give up a happy universe because he knew that hus people need him, and now just have his memories, Vi loosing her family so many times, and so many people loose their lifes and loves ones, yet finally finally they have a voice and could build a tomorrow for their people, as it should be since the beginning, I'm happy but I'm sad and confuse.
This series is probably going to be remember as one of the best, the art, the soundtrack, the stories, the character are so gray, so imperfect, so much layers and complex, so human. Wherever call this show a greek tradegy it was so right.
sorry to spoiler u but jinx is still alive
You said it, Jinx has the best redemption arc ever🤖🩵🙌🏼Seeing this again and seeing you cry was even more emotional😭😭😭You are unique cause every emotional shock this episode put you through I felt, your feelings come out and grab us🥰You have done an exceptional job reacting to this show👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼You’ve extraordinary⭐️🌙🪐🫶🏼
ugh so so glad we can feel all the emotions of this finale together 🙏🥹
I love the fact that Jinx noticed Ekko Z-Drive with her signature little monkey and might've guessed that the person Ekko was referring to when he said "someone special" was herself.
i'm dying of curiosity because i really want to know what was going through her head in that moment
That jolly chimp is the symbol of the Arcane, not just of magical energy in the show as well as this show business itself.
Everything came from it since 2013, when 'Get Jinxed' MV released. What Jinx wanted was just a little bit of fun but it caused explosion and destruction to somewhere. But if she never activated the chimp then nothing would happened to her universe and ours.
I really love it. VA Viktor. Deep tone and calm
+ the accent!
This finale felt almost like Inception. There’s multiple high stakes plot lines going on simultaneously, time is manipulated in a very brilliant and entertaining way, and the whole episode needs to be rewatched to completely understand all of the incredibly important, subtle things that you absolutely miss on the first viewing.
Jinx is alive. You can see her shimmer away right as the explosion goes off. This is why Caitlyn is looking at the building's vent system and we see an airship like the one she wanted to fly in from season 1.
Sadly, not true. If you actually watch slowly you see the effect multiple times flashing on and off. So if your hypothesis is true, then there are 4 Jinx's that left. As well as there are the exact same jolts of multiple colors. So its just how the artist drew the fx.
Caitlyn looking at the vents is a far better rabbit hole to go down or put your money on.
@@iceman10129 him true, Jinx is alive
@@iceman10129 No Jinx is alive. There was only 1 pink streak the rest are orange from the initial blast and then blue electricity. Go rewatch it in a slowed down speed.
We are all crying with you, Ange
I CALLED IT!!! I F-ING CALLED IT!!!! Maddie and Ambessa working together!!!!
And I feel so vindicated now that it was also confirmed by the lead writer!!! Maddie was a plant all along!!
- Maddie was the first to beat her chest
- Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them”
- Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder
- Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it
- Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger
Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie.
Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.
this was literally one of the easiest things to figure out in arcane but good job lmao
Definitely had Tyrion and Shae vibes from game of thrones, I thought of that immediately when i saw them together the first time.
As a former league player and jinx main, this show was amazing. There are a bunch of clues that suggest jinx might be alive. Some might be just fans coping, some could be solid. Cait looking at vent diagrams while holding a monkey bomb head. Pink/purple streak jetting out of explosion. Last shot of s2 is a blimp, and in s1e1 powder mentioned she's gonna ride those one day. Also in netflix's arcane after glow for s2 act 3, the cast and creators were asked if jinx was still alive? Ella Purnell sheepishly said "we dont know, we’ll leave that open to interpretation", then she hid behind the question card smiling. Anyway love your guys channel, looking forward to more reactions!
I cried so bad at the end I couldn't breathe either😭
A few theories to tickle the brain:
1) I don’t think Jinx died. Right before the explosion, u see a bright purple flash of light dash away from the explosion area. I think when Jinx said “Always with you, even when we’re world apart” she meant it quite literally. Jinx probably planned to help and then leave Pilltover or go into hiding to still end the cycle and let Vi live in peace with Cait. Jinx may go into hiding like Silco or she may more likely go to another nation. Even Caitlyn was looking into the explosion. She was holding Jinx’s monkey head and looking at the hexgate structure to see if maybe she got away through one of the air ducts. I think Caitlyn found out that Jinx got away from the explosion and is out there somewhere. Who knows if she will tell Vi though 🤷♂️
2) This kinda goes with #1 but a friend of mine thinks that Jinx is riding the blimp at the end because in episode 1 Powder said “One day I’m going to ride on one of those things.” So ey she may be going to the next nation we will be introduced to and she may be our traveling psycho and quirky protagonist.
3) Viktor from this timeline actually WAS NOT going to become like the doomed timelines. In the convo Viktor and Singed had, Viktor spoke about fate and if Singed believes in it(probably because Viktor had an idea of what his fate is and didn’t want to accept that fate). Singed said he doesn’t believe in fate because he believes in evolution, that evolution is what guides us or wtv. Viktor then says that evolution has an end though, it is what Viktor considers “the glorious evolution.” Which as we see, the glorious evolution does stop all sorts of senselessness but Viktor is lonely). Anyway back to the Viktor and Singed convo, Viktor then ends the convo by saying that he does not want to continue into such an evolution by merging with warwick. Viktor actually still cared about the humanity in people, he didn’t want to sacrifice the humanity in everyone. All those people in his village WERE NOT lifeless beings. They were all people who still had their humanity but without the setbacks like pain, suffering, feeling hot or cold, or any sort of body pains. They were all doing what they wanted(they had blacksmiths, fruit vendors, cooks, people playing out in the street). Viktor was healing and evolving everyone while keeping their humanity in there. Jayce however caused a paradox where he is the one that causes his Viktor to turn into every other Viktor from the other timelines. Viktor from the other timelines is like the Viktor from the actual LoL lore, he wanted to turn everyone into the perfect lifeless robot machine beings. Our Viktor was different. We even see his humanity go away during the transformation. Skye was his final piece of humanity keeping him in check but because of Jayce, Viktor decided to be like “you know what? Ye u right, fuck humanity and their free will, lemme just take that shit away from them.”
4) Heimerdinger isn’t dead. What if Heimerdinger actually got transported back with Ekko to their timeline? Just that Heimerdinger ended up in an entirely different nation. Maybe Heimerdinger will meet up with Jinx in whatever nation she goes to. Maybe she meets up with Jayce in Viktor in wherever they teleported to.
5) Jayce and Viktor are not actually dead. That sound at the end was the same sound as when the hexgates were teleporting ships off. It is also the same sound when Viktor teleported Jayce and his mom to safety. Once again, its the sound we hear when evil Viktor teleports Jayce back to Jayce’s actual timeline. Maybe they teleported off somewhere together. Maybe they teleported off to another timeline and start the cycle all over again and then save that timeline.
That is all. Hope they make you think a bit 😁
Jinx is 900% Alive.
We can see a purple flash leaving the explosion smoke in a direction.
The map Caitlyn was reading had pipes near the explosion going same direction the flash above went.
The ''The END'' was Jinx's style.
Every character became what they were in the League universe which means Jinx needs to be alive.

😂😂😂
The crying is so real 😭😭 everytime i watch a reaction im mourning all over again... wtf am i gonna do with no more arcane 😩😭
I got good news!
One of the directors of creators of arcane has confirmed they are working on 3 New LoL shows like arcane, one has been in production for over a year already
*“This world is a wasteland, please let me go”,* in the beginning it’s a song about suicide, but with the end HEAVILY implying that Jinx survived and escaped, it’s about how she’s done with everything in Zaun and Piltover and just wants to leave to start a new life. She knew that if Vi knew or even suspected she was alive she would do anything and everything to get back to her sister. But Jinx doesn’t want to burden Vi with having to feel like she had to choose between her and a happy life with Cait, and she knows that if she is to *truly* start healing herself, she needs to do so on her own.
you realize that "Wasteland" starts with "please let me go" and ends with "don't let me go"
@ I know and I wish they put that last part in the episode proper, but they wanted to give audiences a sense of dread, and that last line gives you hope.
I get that Jinx believes it to be the case, but I don't think it's genuinely true that the only way Vi could be happy is if Jinx is no longer in her life. It is probably extremely healthy for Jinx to get some time completely to herself and divorced from her past to figure herself out, but I'd like to imagine those two can still reconnect down the line whenever Jinx is ready. They both deserve it.
Jayce and Victor are literally soulmates (wanna cry even more🥲?: Nobody probably wrote Victors name on a note, bc he was seen as a villain at the end.)
Yup, even though all Viktor ever wanted to do is helping people from the very start. It's tragic to see what happened to him, but at least Jayce is with him now.
The fact almost nobody questioned Maddie being a double agent and didn't feel out of place a testament to the writing
absolutely!!!
My boy Singed with another W. He can’t keep getting away with this 😂😂
Amazing reaction, this is how I was feeling after the end of this amazing show ❤
I love your reactions(channel) so much, i m glad to see person who understands every character and very attentive to small details , Silco and Jinx(Powder) was my favorite characters all along, i dont believe someone could hate them, also wanna say about Jinx death, there is pink glimpse of shimmer leading away from the explosion, they didnt find the body and because of that Caitlyn checking out building plan, and the series ending with the flyship that Powder wanted to ride in 1st season , she is alive and starting a new life somewhere finally breaking the cycle.
Rewatching you notice details. Opening. Each time Ekko rewound time he came closer to Jinx until she couldn't detonate without injuring him, hence falling to her death and detonating...Jinx still cares.
To anyone who's coping with the theory of Jinx is alive. Sorry to bust your bubble but she's dead. Jinx's grenade always releases an violet beam before explode. So the beam you saw is from the grenade.
Furthermore, Singed killed Vander's persona, Only Warwick left. What make you think Warwick would voluntary release Jinx from his grip?
Jinx is clearly not strong enough to escape his hands, not to mention she had only 3-4 second to reach the ventilator WHILE FALLING. If she missed or slow and weak it means death.
In fact, physically and logically, Warwick has higher change to withstand and survive the grenade blast than Jinx.
So listen to the advice of the song. Stop with the copium, embrace her sacrifice and LET HER GO.
Yeah but she also releases that violet beam when she uses her shimmer abilities. You can see that when she tricks Vi in the cell, even the sound effect is the same. And with Cait holding a fragment of her grenade in hand, looking at the excape routes she could've taken AND the airship in the end being the exact one Powder said in episode 1 she was going to ride some day, it's pretty safe to say she just faked it to break the cycle
I feel so validated, maybe sobbing uncontrollably is a universal experience with this episode :)
Ange! Jinx is definitely alive, there are 3 pieces of evidence:
1. Stray purple streak during the explosion
2. Caitlyn is looking through the schematics of the vent system of SPECIFICALLY the Hexgate before smiling at her destroyed Monkeybomb
3. The final shot is both a callback to her line in the very first episode as children, and it VERY quickly flashes "The End" in her signature style
Also I can’t blame you for not noticing this I didn’t either
But Jinx is most likely alive there’s like 4 frames immediately after the explosion which shows she gets away indicated by the pink shimmer streak
It’s implied she most likely left for good and is forever distancing herself from anyone she cares about, many people theorize that she left on the airship in the final scene and I agree
The scene is a callback to what powder said in S1 Ep1 start and the airship even enters the frame the EXACT same way and it’s the EXACT same airship model
Jinx is actually alive, during the explosion u can see a pink shimmer line that happens when jinx zoom away, and previous episodes in the prison silco says to break the cycle by walking away, and during season 1 powder says she wants to ride the balloon one day so at the end they show us the balloon going away and closing the end in jinx style.
It is sad, I wish for our Jinx to found the way (and will) to live, she (for she, not for Powder from paralel universe, ... but it is comforting that in paralel universe Powder exists too, and lives good life) deserved it after all she got through, but, well this ending is also bringing her peace...
hope it makes u feel good to know now that jinx didn't die to the explosion.

Jinx bestest!
I was watching this with my daughter & her BF at midnight once it was out. Before the credits rolled I said “Jinx got out. She can out speed an explosion. But we probably won’t see her until they do a few new characters and regions. Then they will do a LoL “Avengers” thing.
Which will be amazeballs!
Yes I believe shes alive from all the hints they dropped at the end!!! her sacrifice is still so heartbreaking to me :’)
@@ANGELINAA also the Ravens 🐦⬛ (or crows- I’m a Baltimore fan so I call ‘em Ravens) that kept showing up. Those were big signs for me.
This is the way to enjoy Arcane in full.
Jinx is alive btw
You can see her pruple streak of shimmer as she dashes ojt right before the explosion (if you slow it down)
Also there is a reason they shwo us Caitlyn looking at possible escape routes jinx had
Finally, the last shot beinb the blimp powder promised to ride on one day
Truth is jinx is dead and powder is reborn and with everyone thinking shes gone, she can vreak the cycle not by killing herself but by leaving to rebuild and heal herself from her deep traumas and guilt over everything she's done
I think we'll see her again and we'll prob see ekko again too, as the show creators said ekko and jinx's story is "worth continuing in the future"
So we might see them in the future series of this universe
If you made it this far thank you for reading all this Angelina, few creators would
Much love, your channel is amazing
Definitely "best" friends XD One could even say~~~ "Roommates"

Everyone seeing Maddie: 😱🤬🤬Die!
Bullet ricocheting off Mel’s shield: 🥳🥳🤣
Its look like jinx survived. "she died/got away " to end the cyckle, like she said. Few hints where given and on todays behind scenes, the question was asked, is she dead, and answer was "no one knows" also the actress smiling and hiding her face behind quenote. But Viktor and jayce are gone, also heimerdinger and Vander and his beast mode
Yall I can’t wait
What a show I was ugly crying so much this last act. I can't wait for their next show -.-
Jinx went full on Megamind with that entrance!
Go back and watch the explosion again...there's a bright purple streak to the upper right. Then there's the blimp at the end.
I love always your reaction’s and the way you understood and analyse the shows and movies
Powder vs Jinx is alive !!!
No body, no death.
The first sentence that Powder says in the show in the first episode is ( one day, I’m gonna ride in one of those things )
And the last scene of Arcane
she rides one of those things and flies away across the sea, leaving the city.
Also Silco say ( I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away )
And also Ekko say ( Sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind )
Jinx vs Powder fly away in the boat that she said that one day she would ride
at the start of Jinx's bomb explosion you can see a purple strike of light moving away...
The Jinxer who Vi tried to save isn't just a random Jinxer, she's one who's front-and-center when Jinx breaks them out of prison, and she's the bandmate alternate Milo tries to hit on in episode 7
Great series enjoyed both seasons which is rare nowadays

Yeah, those weapons are apparently called Drakehounds 😁
she came so many times, everything reminds me to her :(
Hmmm. Jinx didn't die. There are several things to indicate this. One of the best things is on a certain frame right as the explosion happens, you see one of those pink streaks that Jinx uses when she kind of teleports. I'd encourage you to look at all the reasons why she's still alive. Feels good ^^
I think my only problem with the finale is that it should’ve been way longer. They kind of disregard the whole Piltover vs Zaun thing in the finale, Isna is not even mentioned once, Sevika doesn’t say a single line, we don’t see Ekko and Jinx’s full reunion, it’s clear the show was meant to be a lot longer but they had to cut for time.
However, the stuff they do show in it was glorious, episode 7 is easily my favourite. Heimerdinger’s song has been stuck in my head since I heard it, I loved Ekko reconnecting with (a version of) Jinx, Jayce’s journey to understand the dangers of Hextech was agonizingly beautiful, Heimerdinger sacrificing himself so Ekko can complete the mission, Ekko’s final look at Jinx before he goes through the anomaly portal, god it was so good. I’m gonna miss this show.
The writers originally had it longer but were instructed to shorten it by executives ;-;
7:00 - The Kid is the one who who closed his Piano to volunteer to defend his city. He saw the under-city Jinxer breathe her last breathe after trying to defend topside after topside oppressed the under-city, and saw Loras's dying at his post.
He will be part of the change towards reconciliation. Pilt-over has very strong Republican undertones and the Zaun far from Republican ideals either. The Victor Commune was the various Paris Communes. Jinx waving the flag is very Joan of Arc inspired.
Fortiche might might be culturally inspired by this and Frances is on it's 5th Republic since 1792?
I would agree on Screwing Maddie too 5:44 but Caitlyn already did that in Ep 4. THE PARALLELS. Actual Goated writers and everyone else that worked on the show.
You know there's something that's been bothering me. Someone who's been left out of all the praise. My boi Chuck, he ran in there with everyone else, praise be to Chuck.
It's Thieram
most accurate title. very relatable 😭
hahaha yes the arcane fans are going THROUGH IT right now
This is obviously not confirmed but there are a lot of theories in the arcane community that show Jinx is probably alive. You can see a violet (shimmer like) lighting just before the explosion, besides Caitlyin checks the ventilation system with the monkey bomb in her hand (they probably did not find a body) and smiles. Finally, in the first season Powder says: I ll ride one of those (referring to the zeppelin) and in the last scene we can see one flying away.
:)
This remains the best video game adaptation
With another (awesome) animated series down I'd love to see you on a RWBY journey starting with the original colour trailers, "Red", "White", "Black" and "Yellow" to help gauge your interest and all!
To be clear they're not actual trailers and more character shorts/introductions for the four main badass ladies of the show as they attempt to explore and learn more about the world and themselves! Collectively they're only around 20 minutes so it would be a quick reaction! And the vids are all on youtube.
RWBY has kickass action with badass ladies, great designs, crazy weapons, a ton of charm and appealing characters, banger reaction worthy soundtracks, good laughs, romantic drama, cool villains, plenty of tense angst and an awesome unique fictional world!
Jinx is alive, when the explosion happened you can see a purple lining going to a ventilation, she was even told that her cycle of destruction and misery will only end once shes gone, so she faked her death so VI can have a happy life also its been confirmed as well that theres going to be spin offs from the show so we most likely will get one about ekko, mel and so on maybe even kait's and vi's story or maybe even powder/Jinx
Entrances love her
THEORY TIME: I'm pretty sure they were signaling Jinx survived:
1) I believe, the one single pink thread during the explosion to the one of the vents is her shimmer glitch.
2) see Cait searching the vents with Jinx's bomb in her hand to look for her.
3) The final scene with the air ducts was a reference back to first episode where Powder was saying, she would ride one of them one day
4) She found the will to walk away, just like Silco said.
5) So I will also assume Jinx saying "I'm always with you, even when we're worlds apart" was indeed a foreshadowing.
With all that being said, I don't know if we'll ever get a 100% proof of this since the series is coming to an end. I mean they confirmed that we'll get to see other stories from the Lol Lore but who knows if they are actually planning on bringing them back or if it was just a wink at the audience 🙃
i believe jinx is alive they show a little shimmer dash and dont reveal who was on the airship so it was probably jinx "walking away" they also showed blueprints of the vent she woulda dashed through
4:35
ange: who are you?
me: the one-night stand
I'm totally going to steal your "what in the Interstellar is happening right now?"
THE TWISTSSSSS, i cant believe it was viktor all along!! also jinx is still alive 👀👀👀
Game of Thrones WISHES it could have morally complex characters like this show. Or nailing an ending like this. I will be watching ANYTHING that these people do next!!
Jinx si alive btw before explosion u can see the shimmer blink and go out of the explosion @ANGELINA
100% my favorite character Jinx is not Dead just watched a video break down the evidences is there there was a pink Strick right before the explosion plus Caitlin was looking at blueprints of the piping and she To came to the same conclusion jinx is alive she then goes to VI wondering if she should tell her and decides not to what does this mean You Know it Jinx will be in the future seasons maybe as a side character doesn't matter just tell me jinx is there that's all that matters!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳 o and when Jinx said she needs to break the cycle, she meant leaving not killing her self she already tired that echo saved her from that fate because he wouldn't give up on her or self sacrifice she confirms this by repeating to Vi Always with you sis she was leaving so she can break this cycle. Jinx is a 100% A masterpiece 👏👏👏👏 👌 10/10 CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE.
Look up “MK11 Jax fatal blow”
Thats literally what this show does to your heart and feelings
Arcane is one of the best greatest show ever
When jinx locked vi up in the cellar she said “you deserve to be with her” now that she sacrificed herself now Vi can finally take care of herself now because she doesint have the responsibility of going after Jinx bc of what she has done/what she will do next
To be honest, I hated how they portrayed Viktor as a villain. He only had good intentions even in the end, considering he did heal people with the Arcane and his community was peaceful. It wasn't until Jayce had tried to kill him and all hell broke lose afterwards that he realised that humanity is doomed by their emotions and that war, greed and suffering will never end because of that, so with that realisation and the influence of the Arcane he went on with his plan cure all of humanity.
It sucks that they portrayed him as a villain and the final boss and greater evil that needs to be defeated by everyone and even connecting Piltover and Zaun, which is exactly what Viktor always wanted from the start, and speed running his development just so he could be somewhat like his League counterpart who isn't even a villain and just someone who helps people with their permission smh.
At least they made him regret his decision, revealed that the mage who saved Jayce and his mom was Viktor and that he went back in time multiple times to try and avoid the dystopian future and had him save the world with Jayce by destroying the anomaly.
The thought of everyone in Piltover and Zaun not knowing what actually happened and believing that Viktor was the evil villain who doomed them all, while Jayce was the brave hero who saved the world and sacrificed himself is just heartbreaking and tragic and they deserved much better.
I wish they just went with his League of Legends version and had him heal people with his inventions in Zaun instead of making him a god who controls everyone with the intention of curing humanity and regretting it.
If it makes you feel any better, in the first few frames of the explosion that jinx did with her grenade while being held by warwick, you can see a pink line traveling away from the explosion. Arcane is a 250 million dollar show, they didnt add that in for nothing. Idc what you tell me, jinx is 100% alive.
"The cycle only ends when you choose to walk away."
Be she dead or somewhere far from Piltover, Jinx is dead. But that doesn't mean Powder isn't still out there.
Angelina Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
