First, Mel ❤: - 0:21: This shows a wolf, symbolizing the cunning nature assigned to Mel. Why? Because there's a direct transition to her on the beach where her mother met Kindred while she was still in her womb. This parallels the end of Ambessa's cinematic at 3:57 (from the "Blood Sweat and Tears" clip), marking the awakening of Mel's powers. - 1:01: Mel arrives at Noxus Tora, the entrance gate to Noxus and the security system of the Black Rose (1:06), meant exclusively for mages. The "magical" gate resonates with Mel's powers at 2:40, allowing her to enter at 2:50. - Vulnerable in close combat, Mel is attacked by Noxian assassins (magical puppets controlled by Leblanc) at 3:11, followed by blood mages at 3:16. Mel quickly repels them as she grows more adept at using her powers. - At 3:49, Mel returns to the physical world and realizes she is entirely unwelcome in Noxus. By 3:50, she notices she hasn’t taken a single step beyond Noxus Tora and understands that the dangers in Noxus are far more terrifying. This is ironic since the song's title is "Welcome to Noxus." Or perhaps it’s Leblanc’s “welcoming committee” showcasing their strength to Mel. - A nod to the beginning of the clip at 0:21: “Are you strong enough?”-a message directed at Mel through the wolf drawing. Second, Katarina: - Perhaps sent by Swain. - At 0:31, the drawing represents her outfit as she enters the corridor leading to the FAKE Black Rose ball. - At 1:24, the "baron" or "noble" at the FAKE dance party isn’t even worried about being attacked because he is protected by Elise. - WHY A FAKE DANCE PARTY? Because in the next scene (1:28), there’s a shot of Leblanc’s hand, under which the character representing Katarina is trapped in a bubble. So, it’s not a ball but a TRAP. - However, Katarina manages to kill him at 3:07. Third, Darius: - Represented by a double-bladed axe. Why? Because there’s a transition to him. - Accompanied by the northern lands, Darius is a young soldier (perhaps a general or commander), highly promising and respected by his garrison for his strength among the Noxians. At 0:45, he duels Trundle to claim his territory for Noxus. - At 1:48, after the clash of their weapons, Darius is burned by the icy cold of Trundle’s pure ice club. This results in the appearance of his white streak, forcing him to drop his weapon and fight barehanded. - At 1:58, he sheds his armor to escape Trundle’s deadly grip and moves toward his axe, which he had dropped, understanding that pure human strength is no longer enough. - I LOVE the sequence at 2:13, where the camera, seemingly handheld, focuses on Darius’s horrified expression at the thought of DYING (perhaps for the first time) at 2:16. - He finally picks up his blade at 2:20, despite the icy bite, possibly at the cost of his hand. At 2:24, he delivers a blow he believes will kill Trundle, but it only stuns him. - At 3:36, Darius notices the state of his arm while watching Trundle’s followers retreat into the mountains, humiliated by his defeat. - At 3:42, there’s a shot of Darius having claimed Trundle’s territory under the watchful eyes of his soldiers. Fourth, Leblanc: - Observing everything happening in Noxus. The drawings act as a sort of crystal ball, transmitting surveillance footage. Why is she monitoring the events? - At 0:16, lines sketch the wolf-or rather THE SHE-WOLF (as Ambessa calls her on her deathbed)-who watches Leblanc the moment Mel sets foot near Noxus. - At 1:07, Leblanc’s eyes appear, watching, and then BAM-a transition to an overhead shot resembling an eye, with the iris perhaps symbolizing the Black Rose. - At 4:25, Vladimir sees Mel as a powerful ally to recruit rather than a troublesome adversary. - The drawing at 4:59 depicts a dagger, though I’m unsure whose it is. 😅 That’s it! Thanks for reading 😊 if you made it this far!
So few people only noticed Darius is in younger days Ionia invasion didnt happen yet so only 1 leader name darkwill Its after Arcane So Darius is not one of three rulers yet so Younger Darius is in the cinematic
No idea how people are calling for "Sion", when Sion at the moment of the trailer is currently dead. He won't be resurrected by Vladimir for a long while. Sion is an ancient hero of Noxus back when Noxus was literally a conglomerate of tribes. Arcane is a "prequel" to current League of Legends lore. Also, a Rioter confirmed that Darius is way younger here.
That twitch chat seemed so out of touch with league lore lmao. Asking very dumb questions like “why is Elise in noxus” and “why is Samira in the black rose” I’m guessing none of them read lore 😭
Good cinematic -- streamer and chat are pretty out of touch. Or maybe LoL-brain is just as incurable a disease as the rest of us have been led to believe.
Swain becomes relevant only after the Invasion of Ionia (this happens before that, based on Mel and younger Darius). Swain makes his contract with Raum much later.
Mel is a baddie god damn

The dagger has an eye, and LeBlanc draws hounds. Could it be Naafiri?
@@JediWilli no naafiri has no known presence in the lore cannon
Damn what a dissertation 😂😱🤷🏾♂️
It's beautiful ❤
So few people only noticed Darius is in younger days
Ionia invasion didnt happen yet so only 1 leader name darkwill
Its after Arcane
So Darius is not one of three rulers yet so Younger Darius is in the cinematic
Didnt Darius went to Freljord after Ionia
No idea how people are calling for "Sion", when Sion at the moment of the trailer is currently dead.

Also, a Rioter confirmed that Darius is way younger here.
But interestingly enough the grey legion seems to already be present.
@Hydelix I would say that not all the cinematics are canon.
Called it 😂
Ok but... uh how has kat already her scar, how is a young darius 1vs1ing Trundle :o
@@muffinssupreme84Darius is Simply the 🐐
45:15
goat
Goat
Thanks
That twitch chat seemed so out of touch with league lore lmao. Asking very dumb questions like “why is Elise in noxus” and “why is Samira in the black rose” I’m guessing none of them read lore 😭
A reaction video where all but 20 seconds are muted lmao
Yeah every part with music is cut out due to copyright. The only part that doesn't have music is the fight between Darius and Trundle.
Absolute CINEMA 🔥
like half the vid was muted for me, shit shit
Why do we think that's an eye on the sword, it could be a symbol?
Good cinematic -- streamer and chat are pretty out of touch. Or maybe LoL-brain is just as incurable a disease as the rest of us have been led to believe.
it really is, watching it from afar you'd think the dev were doing nothing all day when there is consistant and easy to follow balance patch
Oh boy he's gonna make a parody video. I'm so excited
If mordekaiser back gg to all nexus humans especially katarina 😂
that’s aatrox as a sword before he is picked up… theres only one darkin for every weapon it seems in any lore thing so it must be aatrox
It is the darken
Welcome to noxus but no swain?
Blud was there for a split second in arcane last episode of s2. His crow demon that is
Swain becomes relevant only after the Invasion of Ionia (this happens before that, based on Mel and younger Darius). Swain makes his contract with Raum much later.
Swain was a nobody, Darkwill still in charge
What happened to Darius 😭
Is confirmed that in this cinematic Darius is really young
