Same best episode of s2 for sure I feel salty we didn't get an arc with Ekko as the main lead. There was a really compelling story to be told here with Ekko he invents Hextech with the reason of wanting to go back. But during the process he has to choose between staying here happy with the people he has lost or going back and saving the people he left behind. Idk I like s2 it's good, but I feel like Riot really undercooked some of these storylines. Jinx and Ekko are my two favorite characters would have really loved to see this arc with them being the two mains.
@@jeronimovazza7441 in the au they were already in a relationship before the whole dance but since he's not the au ekko idt he has kissed anyone before so i think thats why he said that but idk
@@jeronimovazza7441 Ekko asking Powder to kiss him like it’s their first time because he knows he’ll probably never experience it with Jinx in his universe
Here’s the thing. This world still exists. This is Fortische being nice to us, giving us an alternate time where Powder is alive and happy, and she and Ekko have the life they could have had. Silco is alive. Vander is alive.
He always loved Powder. It must have hurt so bad watching her dissapear bit by bit behind Jinx persona. But this timeline and them being a couple is just so wonderful... And him promising he will never forget this is just so sad.
And then powder came back a little bit at the end of season 2 but then she “died”. She probably lived but idk if she’ll see Ekko again so does it even matter

I love how their dance was made, the frames droping so every single move of them can be processed as a whole. It shows that Ekko really followed Heimerddinger's call and enjoyed every single second of this moment, engraving every small detail into his memory because he knew he probably will never have something so perfect like this again.
yep and in his league lore his personality is literally savoring each and every single moment theres no re do even tho he has the power to rewind time which is ironic
According to a comment I saw elsewhere it's also exactly 4 frames per second, which is how many seconds he can rewind time. I'm convinced absolutely everything in this show is deliberate.
The writers knew the fans wanted Timebomb, but knew to put it in the canon timeline they would need to force the plot and it wouldn't have satisfied anyone. So they gave us this. Thank you writers of Arcane. Thank you.
It could've worked in the main timeline, but they wouldn't have nowhere near enough time to develop with only a few episodes left. So the writers did a sensational move that developed three characters (if you include Heimerdinger) and the world-building of Zaun at the same damn time🧠
Indeed, the only flaw writing is not working up towards how the arcane could’ve put them in that alternate timeline, but it’s understandable. Overall, everything else they did a good job writing up towards with that chain of cause-and-effect.
@@muthias4582Since Viktor was conversing with Jayce about fate, "an invisible hand" guiding everyone's actions, maybe that's why the Arcane sent Heimer and Ekko to this alternate reality; they needed this character development in order to get our main timeline's ending. Heimer gets to make amends and create prosperity for both Piltover AND Zaun while sacrificing himself to ensure alternate universe's Ekko return and our Ekko's birth as the boy savior/boy who shattered time. At least that's what I think that scene conveys because of the scene where Heimer introduces Ekko to Jayce, his former pupil and his current pupil, he expresses a bit of disappointment/regret in how he mentored Jayce. If Heimer had been more active and done more, the main timeline could've been like this alternate one where things are nearly a utopia (Heimer has been here for more than 3 years). Heimer knows that his inaction let things get bad as they did between Piltover/Zaun because he was so preoccupied with invention and Piltover's prosperity that he ended up being blind/neglectful to the suffering of Zaun. He seems to understand this during the three of them meeting and realizes he needs to do more which is why the Arcane gave Heimer a second chance and he is successful in this alternate time (which doesn't seem to have it's own Heimer). In a meta sense/writing perspective it also completes Heimer's arc from Season 1 and his failed/regrettable mentoring of Jayce (letting Hextech production run rampant which affects the Arcane and makes it unstable, Jayce becoming the future's defender but worsening Zaun/Piltover relations) to doing the right thing by his new mentor so the true savior and defender of the future can be born in Ekko.
My favorite thing is that in this timeline, Vi dies. (Well, I don’t like that she dies) And Powder has a streak of Vi's pink in her hair. In every universe, she's longing for her sister
Hear me out we may see this version of Powder in the main timeline at some point. Her talks with Ekko at the mural was cryptic hinting that she has always had a bigger purpose than just being a bartender. She did also work with them to figure the zero drive and whatever she doesn't know she could figure it out she is literally a genius. Proof is she figured out how to make Hextech weapons from just notes while being in a mentally ill state as Jinx. She also walked in and saw the Ekko from main timeline before he blinked away so that confirms that it is real. That could be enough motivation for her to create it so she can see Vi again. Imagine the look on Vi's face if she ever saw this version of Powder she would literally melt.
@@edgybravo4287 I mean, Heimerdinger is also in the au now too and he's the one who amplified the time thing so that Ekko could go back. Who's to say he couldn't send powder through?
“Everything is a dance with you?” In season 1 ep 7 Ekko danced with Jinx on the bridge (fight) In season 2 ep 7 Ekko danced with Powder Arcane be cooking
The most beautiful "What could have been" I have ever had the privilege to witness. I live in happiness knowing in other universes Ekko and Powder, and the others live happy lives.
Kinda funny how in both seasons, episode 7 is Ekko's episode. Probably intentional, hell maybe all of the episodes had that similarity but i only noticed this one. Either way S2E7 IS MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES
If you’re talking about the teenage love (bc they’re teenagers on this timeline) you’re not missing anything believe me. Also you can find love at any age. Just love yourself first before starting to love someone else 💜
Nonsense stranger, you’ve got one out there. We all do. And I tell you, when you find that one, there’s nothing in this world sweeter than that first kiss.
It's the warmest episode where I've had the most chills. We could fully feel what Ekko felt here. Love, so simple. Wonderful episode, my favorite of the show.
@Gufupandi09th13 oh ya, I already knew jinx was alive. She is dead as far as vi knows (and that is how she wants it). My statement was mostly along the lines that the sisters seem to not able to find happiness together. Ironicly jinx might find happiness somewhere in runeterra as she wanders (my be a certain blonde light mage (I joke)). It's just sad that for them to find happiness they most lose eachother.
I’m just so happy that universe is able to continue existing in happiness. A version of Ekko and Powder can continue their adorable romantic relationship and the undercity is alive and thriving.
They really made one of the best side characters ever . I never guessed that ekko will be so important to the story and man I was hoping that ekko and powder get to live there life.
it was sad seeing ekko back at the rooftop him and powder kissed at to mourn jinx’s death (spoil alert) she’s still alive and broke the cycle like she said she would riding on a blimp into the sunrise so it’s a happy ending for everyone kinda i guess, i’m gonna miss this show tho.
even though im sad as to what happened to jinx this alternate timeline is also just as canon as the timeline the show focuses on, so technically timebomb is canon and they are all happy and thriving, just not in the universe arcane chose to focus on
That's the best animation ever. That scene is perfect. Hadn't got that much emotional for a long time. I wish we could get another series from Runeterra. And a great job from voice actors. Really, the dialogues are incredible in this show.
Riot and Fortische did a stellar job in this performance, this parallel universe of what is for Ekko, and what could have been at the same time, a predicament in the middle of the conundrum, but my guy sacrificed his dream world to face his reality.
In another world everyone’s happy (except maybe Caitlyn- Vi probably prefers death over being stuck in a jail for like 8+ years then stabbed multiple times in the same spot)
Ngm nem liga q a VI foi de ralo nessa rota kkkkkk, provavelmente o jayce não conseguiu apoio do conselho por ter causado uma morte (foi preso) e a hextech não foi criada.
I think in this universe, powder and Ekko are already together. You see how he hesitated when she went in for the kiss the first time. For him, it would be his first kiss. He wanted it to be special. Like their first time. For her I’m sure she does it all the time, since they are a couple in that universe. That’s my theory.
His exact words were, _"Black Queens forever! Snow bunnies never! You said you starting to like snow bunnies. No problem. Go ahead and date them. We don't need you, my brother. Burn ..."_

Welcome to the club
This is probably my 3rd favorite scene in the entire show, just because I love jinx/powder, she’s so well written.
The two best scenes in Arcane were protagonized by Ekko and Jinx. The battle in the bridge and this one. Amazing writing.
It's the warmest episode where I've had the most chills.

Wonderful episode, my favorite of the show.
im obsessed with this scene
'the worst benediction, the best malediction, from you I should run away,""

Heimerdinger does know. Not sure if he would return to Piltover&Zhaun to meet him again, while hes still alive.

Honestly this timeline is not only happier but also more pleasant to watch, this should have been the main timeline in a series.
After the ending of the final episode I always come back to this scene an alternate timeline where jinx(powder) is alive and happy with ekko 🥹💙🤍
Have faith everyone in time it will happened to our jinx that we know and love who will find love with our ekko
Notice that Powder helped build their teleporter… and she has hex crystals still. She could absolutely use them to make another anomaly.

i think powder had an inkling that he wasn't her ekko
She found out once they told her to build the machine, that's why she says, “you better not forget me” since ekko told her he isn't her ekko.
I dunno about "last" dance, but still a great scene.
