Her singing the way she did made me feel like the character herself was showcasing her emotional side even though Ambessa's not a very emotional character which was such a great story building move! I like her so much more as a character now before the seasons even started! Lol
To add, they released Ambessa's biography on the League website recently and it states that Ambessa was pregnant with Mel during this battle (she's in Rokrund, the home of the Medardas in Southern Noxus, still on the same continent, so not in Shurima, but her bio does state that the Medardas descend from Shuriman traders a long time ago). Kino is still her eldest, but he's already been born during the time Ambessa's music video is set in!
@@Thewhiteandorange Remember Ambessa saying that Mel has no idea what it's like to be in her position, to have to sacrifice one child for another. She sacrifices the lamb to the wolf.
@@Jacob-fz5ho that's exactly what came to mind. she sacrificed the lamb FOR the wolf, as well. Her last words to Mel have so much more gravity to them now.
''we kill them untill they are family'' thats how noxus wages war. my guess is ambessa is originally from shurima and joined the noxian empire. note the arrow that pierced her and the soldiers at the beach are noxian arrows, so betrayal plays a part. noxians embrace the wolf so the lamp doesnt carry a bow in noxus.
I think she's Targonian. There's a section of Noxus that is near Targon and the desert of Shurima so I'm not surprised if she was from that area. (Just a speculation since I see Pantheon in the skin line and I'm coping for Ambessa to be part Shuriman, part Targonian serving Noxus. Like how Samira was originally from Shurima and is now an agent of Noxus and she wanna die in Demacia for the sake of regional diversity or something.)
@@menacingbread7909like this version of kindred, the pantheon we see can both be the Noxian portrayal of pantheon coz their conquer like mindset would def embrace the aspect of war, whilst the timing of this being around ambessa’s young life could mean its probs just another pantheon vessel before Atreus. Ambessa herself def shuriman tho cant rlly see the targon aspects other than that.
the lamb is the other half of kindred. It offers a swift and peaceful death with an arrow. Ambessa chose to reject the lamb's offering in doing so sacrificing her chances of ever having a swift and peaceful death and the wolf now waits for the next time it gets to hunt her down.
I need to know why Kindred offered Ambessa a second chance life. Also love how Kindred takes on a different visual take since Ambessa is Noxian. For those who don't know, The Kindred serve as the Grim Reaper of the world of League of Legends. The story goes that Death was so lonely that it split itself in two, so it would "always have a friend". One half is the Lamb, and the other half is the Wolf. Lamb represents the peace in acceptance of death, wielding a bow to deliver a swift end, and Wolf represents the violence of rejecting and running from death, being literally a beast that mauls anything that tries to escape. You only see them when they've decided your time has come. (One last quick note - Lamb feels little but knows everything, while Wolf feels everything but knows little.) At 3:22 looks like we have Swain who is the eye of noxus and grand general of Noxus, Pantheon is the one with the spear and shield she was sparring with, he is from Mount Targon and the other is Katarina who is also from Noxus. All 3 of them have also faced death in their own ways and came back alive. And the dessert place I assume is part of Shurima. Wonder if Ambessa is originally from Shurima. Shurima use to be the biggest nation in Runeterra and has a lot of its background based off Egyptian lands. I'm assuming the introduction is on an Ionia beach and the baby is either Mel or her first born son.
I think the fight against Pantheon was her "fight" against the Wolf/Kindred. The chosen of the wolf seem to be how he determines who lives and dies, with Panth/Kat/Swain acting as his champions in the fight. This seems to be a different interpretation of Kindred, maybe Shuriman. Pretty sure the lamb and crystal are both representative of her child's life, and Kindred, impressed that she continued to fight against the chosen despite all of her failures and wounds, offered to make her one of his chosen in death. She accepted, took her position, and having won her fight with death woke up on the beach with her will to live and fight restored.
@@sweatygoblin2335 Ambessa gives up the Lamb, representative of both Kindred and how Noxians view passivity, so also her innocence in a way to live a life of war, there's no time for weakness in Noxian society, then we see a child, presumably Mel holding the Lamb and Ambessa crying because she knows she has to rip the Lamb away from Mel to keep her alive, even if it hurts Mel. In game VO reveals that Ambessa's grandfather also exposed her to violence at a young age and she's carrying those scars too though she won't admit it. A lot of Ambessa's character is symbolic of generational trauma, people we love hurt us and then we internalize, justify and turn around to similarly hurt the people we love and it becomes a cycle. If Mel is dead at the start of Season 2, Ambessa will blame herself for not protecting Mel as Mel's final choice was peace with Zaun and it cost her life. If Mel survives then Ambessa will continue to alienate and hurt her daughter in her attempts to protect her.
@@sweatygoblin2335 I see it as the lamb letting her go but marking the child for death, since her son and by default Mel brother in Arcane was killed (which we so far presume to have been killed for crossing Swain). In Kindred story we have a tale of a woman meeting them, but lamb was not there for the woman, instead let the woman choose her death and from there on that woman could see masks of the lamb or wolf on others
Because she refused to fall. Kindred operates differently in Noxus than in places like Demacia or The Freljord. They have a different and more intimate connection to Wolf. No Noxian accepts a peaceful death. Lamb's purpose is to reward a Noxian if they pass Wolf's trial.
@@MrMeddyman I don't care to guess why she gives up the lamb/gem. But both are representative of her child, whoever it is. There's not enough information for me to make an educated guess. This is why art is interpretive and subjective.
Her son’s name is Kino. She’s referencing him and Mel quite a bit in her voice lines (idk who’s older though). Also it’s interesting how her weapon resembles that of Renekton’s. Hope her hometown’s name drops in season 2 so we can confirm exactly where from in Shurima she is and if there’s any connection to the ascended champs.
League just released her lore and mentions that she's pregnant with Mel during the time she almost died and saw a vision while she fights to live. They also mention her home town and basically confirms she's of Noxian descent but I also really love the similarity between her and Renekton's weapons 😮💨
Based on the kindred's lore, the Kindred's appearance varies on what region they're depicted, on this case its in noxus. The wolf in the beginning is also kindred since Ambessa is dying. Noxians doesn't worship the lamb only the wolf. They believe the only way to die is to fight until death and not die in a peaceful way. I also noticed that right after the fetus shot, the scene where ambessa wakes up the soil around her is glowing red that slowly fades away. ambessa get rid of the arrow in her stomach. It looks like the soil around her has a mark of the "Lambs respite" the Kindred's ult in game which prevents anything inside to die.
Necrit released the explanation video, just a reminder he still mixes his headcanon sometimes (like his video of all the champion's ages) and in the explanation to this video he didn't even realize she was pregnant lmao
There is a lot of information that can be gathered from this cinematic, I will talk here about some that I found to be the main ones, first the sheep that she appears holding, that besides being a reference to the Kindreds (like the wolf that appeared at the beginning) also has another meaning, like her innocence, which little by little was fragmented until it disappeared completely, the second was her fight against Pantheon, they did not really fight against each other, Pantheon was just a symbol (since he is the aspect of war) indicating how many times she went to war, each time carrying even more scars on her body, in the part where the Kindred (the black mask) appears, there it was as if they made a deal with her, replacing her death with the death of her son, Kino(the baby that she had in her belly in the cinematic), who died fighting in a war, besides that, in that moment when she wears an armor similar to Pantheon's it was also a symbol indicating that she became part of the wars, she became a being that not only fought to survive against, but now fights in wars to "hunt", If I were to sum it up, it's like she became one with the war itself.
This music video just made me respect her so dawn much... There's a lore chanel called necrit who basically explained the lore of this video (but I don't think he saw ambessa pregnant belly, so ignore the last part of his video)
the story did not confirm yet so he mostly gives the theory base on the lore he knows. And he did mention if that happened then everything in this will be massive
If there's dead noxians on a beach, its almost always referencing their war with Ionia. And yeah, it seems Ambessa is originally Shuriman. I'm sure you'll watch Necrits breakdowm that came out already. Dude works fast 😆
Mel: so mom, how was my pregnancy? Ambessa: it was ok, there was a wolf, a giant blue drums woman, this robotic lamb.... Mel: .....well....I kinda asked for this.....
To clarify Ambessa and mel are most likely originally from some part of shurima but later on joined noxus wich is why yes Ambessa wears red and black but she doesn't use Iron or obsidian on her armor in the current timeline it's almost all gold because shurimas colors are always represented by gold. similarly to Mount targon but that's a whole other rabbit hole. Pantheon (the god) resided on mount targon and the visual representation riot uses for them is almost always gold as well. Ps Mel's mom wears a more noxian type of armor because it shows at the time she was just a foot soldier..she had no influence at that time.
LOVE seeing people who are new to the lore get into it and speculate! necrit is def the dude to turn to if you wanna learn more so you're already heading to the right place. i totally agree that she's probably pregnant with mel since it would be more relevant for season 2. also mels older brother's name was Kino :D really hoping we get to learn what happened to him and that maybe that leads into a show about noxus or something. gonna check out your still here vid next and congrats on 5k!!
Thank you! 🙏🏾😃 Growing and learning quickly! And yeah , I would love to spin into a show of noxus, ionia, or really any region of runeterra to be honest 😅😂
The release of this Music video is very fitting because Ambessa is becoming a new champion in League game, and the fact that Arcane season 2 is coming out soon. Necrit also has a video released for this as well But I want to share my most favorite detail here, The Kindred rarely ever let beings survive, in her case she was spared by the Lamb. In game The Kindred has an ultimate skill where she marks the ground, and anyone in the mark, friend or foe will not die until the duration of the mark is over. In this case, she was basically marked to be given a chance to live again, or at least was given more time to find her strength or will to live. That's why she was transported to different dimensions, it is to test if she is worthy to be given a second chance, and she did find her will, maybe for the child in her womb as a mother. In the case of Arcane this is interesting to me because we all know something bout to happen to Mell, whether she'll die or be gravely injured, the fact that Ambessa is introduced in this character, the following episodes will be exciting to watch.
7:53 yes, def. recommend. Also in case you didn't know. Kindered, as representation of death, takes different forms and stuff depending on the region. Noxus, as warrior region doesnt rly get to have a peaceful death, so the lamb isn't even an option. Presumably Ambessa is from Shurima. and there was conflict and stuff (in a nutshell), and she basically grew up fighting for her life, and eventually became Noxian, where the Wolf specifically is worshiped (over the lamb part). So the lyrics basically say: "I was raised by death" 8:02 yes, but it's also a Trailer for the new Skinline "Chosen by the Wolf". - Ambessa, Pantheon, Katarina, Swain and Kindred will be getting one. (Will be Ambessas release skin, each champion usuzally releases with one additional skin option to their base visuals) 9:18 Necrits breakdown of this is already out too, why not just do a big (Kindered and Co) lore bundle with his breakdown to both Still Here and Blood, Sweat & Tears? Still here Breakdown 1 ua-cam.com/video/blnpBRCr45M/v-deo.html Still here Breakdown 2 ua-cam.com/video/eCGRIhSoVu4/v-deo.html Blood Sweat and Tears Breakdown ua-cam.com/video/RS0JOVqQLUI/v-deo.html
See, I had thought about something like that too! But then I noticed the blood sweat and tears explanation from necrit was already thirty minutes without our talking and pausing added 😂 Maybe we'll record both separately and see how long they are then make the decision to combine it or not 🤔
Yes the champions present in this video are Ambessa, Swain, Katarina, Pantheon and Kindred. Fun fact, in a week Ambessa will be added as a playable champion to League and there are leaks that next champion after her will be her daughter Mel. So the Arcane champion pool is widening. Ambessa, Vi, Caitlyn, Jinx, Singed, Viktor, Warwick, Jayce, Heimerdinger, Ekko and possibly Mel. I also think there are few champions that will pop up in Arcane, but dont wanna potentially spoil it, but if youre interested: Im thinking of Camille, Urgot, Orianna, Zeri, Darius, Ziggs, Blitzcrank, Mundo, Zac, Renata Glasc and LeBlanc.
@@astravisionstudios also we already have simplification of Mel abilities, or to say more precise similiar abilities of other champions leaked. But that can be a possible spoiler ua-cam.com/video/SOkK1cNCtVE/v-deo.html heres a video about it, if u dont want >POTENTIAL< spoilers just dont watch it.
@@Hyp333R Youd be surprised! We've been having a lot of conversations with League and Arcane fans and a big part of the fanbase watched Arcane and moved on waiting for S2 haha
Loving the arcane/lol stuff. Should react to some valorant sometime maybe after season 2 Side note. I gotta say it. Ambessa is so fine. Young, old, it don’t matter. And yes I believe she is pregnant
We plan to release an episode of arcane season 2 Sundays, Tuesday and Thursday. So maybe well have space on a monday or wed in Nov to do that because we would definitely love to go through valorant lore in the near future!
Noxus conquered parts of Shurima and parts of it was taken in as part of the Noxian Empire. So Ambessa is most likely from there yes considering the colours and her blades have a similar design of Renekton's blade. My guess is her being Pregnant with Mel. The fetus' eyes glint in the exact same direction that Mel's back armor does before the explosion. This is just a theory of course, but if that's the case, i can see Mel surviving. I was sure she was dead, but now i'm no longer so sure due to her possible connection to Kindred.
Potential Spoiler*** I'll tell you a little detail I noticed in wild rift where it shows the picture of the council room after the attack: Mel, Jayce and Victor's seat area was not affected by the crash but the rest of the Council room had been destroyed. It was either Mel's gold armour protecting or just something from inside her which was stretched onto Jayce and Victor maybe because she wanted to protect Jayce. I am pretty sure she survives but Caitlyn's mom doesn't. Ambessa is just angry because her child was in danger and also because she needs hextech war weapons so that is why she is fighting.
So my guess is Ambessa was Shuriman or Targonian. The thing about Noxus, they are conquers, but they prefer to induct those they conquer as citizens rather than slaves. Anyone regardless of origins can become a prominent and powerful person in noxus so long as they have the Vision, Might, and/or Guile to do so.
okay some lore (theories) : ambessa actually lost her first child so yes she is pregnant here, we see how the wolf (kindred) comes for her, cause shes a noxian rn and noxians see death in a diferent way other people in runaterra sees it, so they always fight the wolf and they never see kindred in a peacfull way of death (lamb), when she fights pantheon, she is rlly fighting the wolf cause it takes the apearence on the way u see death, and in noxian culture its always a warrior, u can see this even in the shield, it has the shape of a wolf face; there r people that think the scene of the blue skinned people r also kindred, seeing blue people with white been the lamb and the ones wearig black been the wolf and others think they may be followers of xerath and another tribe, either way we confirm ambessa is from shurima, the lamb she is carring may be the old way she used to live in a peacefull way in shurima before she had to fight and become a noxian; in the final fight we see how the wolf "pantheon" retreats cause she simply refuses to die, and we see the lamb portayed as a much fierce looking lamb (we have to understand this video is also a teaser of skins so the skins lane is not canonical to lore) but is how noxians see them; the lamb then gives her a sign of the wolf, telling her the lamb wont be coming for her but the wolf will when the time comes; now for the baby with shining eyes, we dont know if its her when she was a baby been choosen by the wolf or a future baby, cause im pretty sure in arcane they said mel is adopted, again, arcane is not 100% true by lore
@@astravisionstudios riot just posted some new lore, these i talked about was the most popular theories of ambessas lore, u should check necrit new video of her lore; about arcane, riot said its not fully lore accurate (maybe just 90%), then later they said they will make fully canonical storyline, so most probably 2nd season will be fully cannon
The Lamb represents peaceful death, which is why the lamb statue was symbolically broken, Noxians consider peaceful death an insult as they are such a warlike, conquering people. The wolf represents a warrior`s death which is why Ambessa always calls herself a wolf and Mel a fox as whilst both Medarda women are smart, shrewd, politically savvy and manipulative in a way, Ambessa prefers the war and conquest of Noxus whilst Mel favors the diplomacy and peaceful ways of Piltover.
I have this theory that Kino would be older since in one of her voice lines Ambessa says something like "I never knew love before I held Kino in my arms". This shows that Kino might be her oldest since she loves all her family very much and wouldn't say this if Mel was older. She definitely loves Mel just as much if not more than Kino.
Oh we havent got a chance to yet! We actually just started jumping into champion teasers and just finished catching up on some lore! But champion themes are definately on the list
SPOILERS ALERT: Ambessa was about to die while pregnant with Mel, and since noxian people worship the wolf , she chose him during her death path (the wolf and the lamb named kindred represente death, the lamb is the peaceful death, the wolf is the fighting death). Kindred decided to test her will (her holding onto the lamb for the peaceful death, and the fighting against Pantheon for an other chance at life) and she obviously chose to fight. Kindred gave her another chance at life coz he had plan in the futur for Mel. Hope that helps.
@@darimydemy1317 we don't know anything about kino. Maybe he was already born here, maybe he was adopted. However that glint is obviously mel before the rocket hits.
Love the league content brothers! If you'd be interested, there is a yasuo cinematic that would be worthy of your reaction. It's called The kin stained blade i think?
Noxus conquered some part of shurima Noxus =USA Noxus offers opportunity america does too noxus send kids to fight the war in ionia USA send teens to fight in vietnam Noxus use chem bomb in ionia so does the USA too Noxus wont destroy the place if the places join em Noxian blackrose = C.I.A both are everywhere

Ambessa: it was ok, there was a wolf, a giant blue drums woman, this robotic lamb....
Mel: .....well....I kinda asked for this.....
To clarify Ambessa and mel are most likely originally from some part of shurima but later on joined noxus wich is why yes Ambessa wears red and black but she doesn't use Iron or obsidian on her armor in the current timeline it's almost all gold because shurimas colors are always represented by gold. similarly to Mount targon but that's a whole other rabbit hole. Pantheon (the god) resided on mount targon and the visual representation riot uses for them is almost always gold as well. Ps Mel's mom wears a more noxian type of armor because it shows at the time she was just a foot soldier..she had no influence at that time.
This music vid is peak. Arcane s2 gonna be crazy
Cant wait!!
LOVE seeing people who are new to the lore get into it and speculate! necrit is def the dude to turn to if you wanna learn more so you're already heading to the right place. i totally agree that she's probably pregnant with mel since it would be more relevant for season 2. also mels older brother's name was Kino :D really hoping we get to learn what happened to him and that maybe that leads into a show about noxus or something. gonna check out your still here vid next and congrats on 5k!!
Thank you! 🙏🏾😃 Growing and learning quickly!
And yeah , I would love to spin into a show of noxus, ionia, or really any region of runeterra to be honest 😅😂
The release of this Music video is very fitting because Ambessa is becoming a new champion in League game, and the fact that Arcane season 2 is coming out soon. Necrit also has a video released for this as well
But I want to share my most favorite detail here, The Kindred rarely ever let beings survive, in her case she was spared by the Lamb. In game The Kindred has an ultimate skill where she marks the ground, and anyone in the mark, friend or foe will not die until the duration of the mark is over. In this case, she was basically marked to be given a chance to live again, or at least was given more time to find her strength or will to live. That's why she was transported to different dimensions, it is to test if she is worthy to be given a second chance, and she did find her will, maybe for the child in her womb as a mother.
In the case of Arcane this is interesting to me because we all know something bout to happen to Mell, whether she'll die or be gravely injured, the fact that Ambessa is introduced in this character, the following episodes will be exciting to watch.
100% agreed!
yeah necrits breakdown videos clarify a lot
yezzir yall were quick on this one
🫡
7:53 yes, def. recommend. Also in case you didn't know. Kindered, as representation of death, takes different forms and stuff depending on the region. Noxus, as warrior region doesnt rly get to have a peaceful death, so the lamb isn't even an option. Presumably Ambessa is from Shurima. and there was conflict and stuff (in a nutshell), and she basically grew up fighting for her life, and eventually became Noxian, where the Wolf specifically is worshiped (over the lamb part).
So the lyrics basically say: "I was raised by death"
8:02 yes, but it's also a Trailer for the new Skinline "Chosen by the Wolf". - Ambessa, Pantheon, Katarina, Swain and Kindred will be getting one. (Will be Ambessas release skin, each champion usuzally releases with one additional skin option to their base visuals)
9:18 Necrits breakdown of this is already out too, why not just do a big (Kindered and Co) lore bundle with his breakdown to both Still Here and Blood, Sweat & Tears?
Still here Breakdown 1 ua-cam.com/video/blnpBRCr45M/v-deo.html
Still here Breakdown 2 ua-cam.com/video/eCGRIhSoVu4/v-deo.html
Blood Sweat and Tears Breakdown ua-cam.com/video/RS0JOVqQLUI/v-deo.html
See, I had thought about something like that too! But then I noticed the blood sweat and tears explanation from necrit was already thirty minutes without our talking and pausing added 😂
Maybe we'll record both separately and see how long they are then make the decision to combine it or not 🤔
Good observation. I missed the pregnant part the first time I watched it.
🙏🏾😇
the path a Ionian myth and the kin stained blade are good, they are related to eachother, very good watches
Watching those this week actually!
Mel was wearing a targorian armor in the last scene of arcane 😊
😮 I didnt even realize!
Yes the champions present in this video are Ambessa, Swain, Katarina, Pantheon and Kindred.
Fun fact, in a week Ambessa will be added as a playable champion to League and there are leaks that next champion after her will be her daughter Mel.
So the Arcane champion pool is widening.
Ambessa, Vi, Caitlyn, Jinx, Singed, Viktor, Warwick, Jayce, Heimerdinger, Ekko and possibly Mel.
I also think there are few champions that will pop up in Arcane, but dont wanna potentially spoil it, but if youre interested:
Im thinking of Camille, Urgot, Orianna, Zeri, Darius, Ziggs, Blitzcrank, Mundo, Zac, Renata Glasc and LeBlanc.
I like how you put Warwick in the top section instead of the bottom paragraph 🧐 SPOILERS! Hahaha 😂
Wow i'm interested in what mel's playstyle will be like 🤔
@@astravisionstudios im pretty sure everyone know that at this point, not just league players.
@@astravisionstudios also we already have simplification of Mel abilities, or to say more precise similiar abilities of other champions leaked. But that can be a possible spoiler
ua-cam.com/video/SOkK1cNCtVE/v-deo.html heres a video about it, if u dont want >POTENTIAL< spoilers just dont watch it.
@@Hyp333R Youd be surprised! We've been having a lot of conversations with League and Arcane fans and a big part of the fanbase watched Arcane and moved on waiting for S2 haha
Loving the arcane/lol stuff. Should react to some valorant sometime maybe after season 2
Side note. I gotta say it. Ambessa is so fine. Young, old, it don’t matter. And yes I believe she is pregnant
VALORANT lore reactions when?
We plan to release an episode of arcane season 2 Sundays, Tuesday and Thursday. So maybe well have space on a monday or wed in Nov to do that because we would definitely love to go through valorant lore in the near future!
Feeling some woman king vibes from Ambessa😎
@@MysticalPrinceofMiraculousHear 120%!!
Noxus conquered parts of Shurima and parts of it was taken in as part of the Noxian Empire. So Ambessa is most likely from there yes considering the colours and her blades have a similar design of Renekton's blade.
My guess is her being Pregnant with Mel. The fetus' eyes glint in the exact same direction that Mel's back armor does before the explosion.
This is just a theory of course, but if that's the case, i can see Mel surviving. I was sure she was dead, but now i'm no longer so sure due to her possible connection to Kindred.
Ohh i like the detail about mels back armor gleemimg!
Potential Spoiler***
I'll tell you a little detail I noticed in wild rift where it shows the picture of the council room after the attack: Mel, Jayce and Victor's seat area was not affected by the crash but the rest of the Council room had been destroyed. It was either Mel's gold armour protecting or just something from inside her which was stretched onto Jayce and Victor maybe because she wanted to protect Jayce.
I am pretty sure she survives but Caitlyn's mom doesn't. Ambessa is just angry because her child was in danger and also because she needs hextech war weapons so that is why she is fighting.
Ambessa is one of the few to fight Pantheon and survive therefore, honored with targonian armor almost as if to show a feat or triumph
So my guess is Ambessa was Shuriman or Targonian. The thing about Noxus, they are conquers, but they prefer to induct those they conquer as citizens rather than slaves. Anyone regardless of origins can become a prominent and powerful person in noxus so long as they have the Vision, Might, and/or Guile to do so.
This is also for a new skinline called The Chosen of the wolf
okay some lore (theories) : ambessa actually lost her first child so yes she is pregnant here, we see how the wolf (kindred) comes for her, cause shes a noxian rn and noxians see death in a diferent way other people in runaterra sees it, so they always fight the wolf and they never see kindred in a peacfull way of death (lamb), when she fights pantheon, she is rlly fighting the wolf cause it takes the apearence on the way u see death, and in noxian culture its always a warrior, u can see this even in the shield, it has the shape of a wolf face; there r people that think the scene of the blue skinned people r also kindred, seeing blue people with white been the lamb and the ones wearig black been the wolf and others think they may be followers of xerath and another tribe, either way we confirm ambessa is from shurima, the lamb she is carring may be the old way she used to live in a peacefull way in shurima before she had to fight and become a noxian; in the final fight we see how the wolf "pantheon" retreats cause she simply refuses to die, and we see the lamb portayed as a much fierce looking lamb (we have to understand this video is also a teaser of skins so the skins lane is not canonical to lore) but is how noxians see them; the lamb then gives her a sign of the wolf, telling her the lamb wont be coming for her but the wolf will when the time comes; now for the baby with shining eyes, we dont know if its her when she was a baby been choosen by the wolf or a future baby, cause im pretty sure in arcane they said mel is adopted, again, arcane is not 100% true by lore
Thats interesting!
But isn't Arcane actually the main canon lore and everything else it's not exactly main lore anymore after all the changes made 🤔
@@astravisionstudios riot just posted some new lore, these i talked about was the most popular theories of ambessas lore, u should check necrit new video of her lore; about arcane, riot said its not fully lore accurate (maybe just 90%), then later they said they will make fully canonical storyline, so most probably 2nd season will be fully cannon
The Lamb represents peaceful death, which is why the lamb statue was symbolically broken, Noxians consider peaceful death an insult as they are such a warlike, conquering people. The wolf represents a warrior`s death which is why Ambessa always calls herself a wolf and Mel a fox as whilst both Medarda women are smart, shrewd, politically savvy and manipulative in a way, Ambessa prefers the war and conquest of Noxus whilst Mel favors the diplomacy and peaceful ways of Piltover.
you already know that mell is still alive because of her mother she was born from a god ( in the video she become ascended )
Ambessa is pregnant, pretty metal. Kino is the oldest.
I have this theory that Kino would be older since in one of her voice lines Ambessa says something like "I never knew love before I held Kino in my arms". This shows that Kino might be her oldest since she loves all her family very much and wouldn't say this if Mel was older. She definitely loves Mel just as much if not more than Kino.
Ahhh this makes a lot of sense actually!
I recommend watching Necrits video on this MV, he has some really good theories
Could have the reaction of Yasuo and Yone's story, I don't know if you've already watched it.
Oh that releases Sunday actually on our channel!
just thought I would comment mentioning that Ambessa's cannon lore was released of the league of legends website
😲
did you guys react to the champion theme music? some of those are freaking epic!
Oh we havent got a chance to yet! We actually just started jumping into champion teasers and just finished catching up on some lore! But champion themes are definately on the list
ye you can watch Necrit videos about these lore stuff. That guy is crazy good at league's lore
Wait the middle dude is good at understanding symbolism. I knew the wolf was Kindred but I never caught the arrow symbolism.
Thank you! 🙏I've written and created a lot of stories in my day! haha
I suggest watching Necrit video about this MV and compare your thoughts with his view
SPOILERS ALERT: Ambessa was about to die while pregnant with Mel, and since noxian people worship the wolf , she chose him during her death path (the wolf and the lamb named kindred represente death, the lamb is the peaceful death, the wolf is the fighting death). Kindred decided to test her will (her holding onto the lamb for the peaceful death, and the fighting against Pantheon for an other chance at life) and she obviously chose to fight. Kindred gave her another chance at life coz he had plan in the futur for Mel. Hope that helps.
Watch the Necrit "The Lore of Ambessa's Cinematic Explained" video it explains the lore very nice. Nice reaction btw!
Thanks! Will do!
The New Skins are coming soon😍
the glint hints that the unborn child was mel
but she got brother before her,
@@darimydemy1317 we don't know anything about kino. Maybe he was already born here, maybe he was adopted. However that glint is obviously mel before the rocket hits.
Just FYI y'all are gonna blast by 10, 20, 50k subs before you know it. Put in the work it's guaranteed
🥲🙏 You are greatly appreciated! Hope to see you still around at that point! 😁
@@astravisionstudios bet
You should check the videos for Yone and Yasuo out, An Ionian Myth (Part1) and The Stained Blade (Part2) Also the Ryze Cinematic as Well!
We plan to watch those this weekend actually!
She was pregnant, they even showed her fetus inside, probably Mel open her eyes in the womb.
Are you guys planning on doing reactions of season 2 for UA-cam?
