    And I want to say to these people who say Caitlyn doesn't deserve Vi. and that their relationship is toxic need to stfu. All Caitlyn does for the entirety of Act 3 is try to right her wrongs. All she does is try to deserve Vi. For some people, it will never be enough but all it needs to be enough for is Vi. Caitlyn had chosen Vi over her own anger. Caitlyn had chosen LOVE instead of REVENGE.

    It's a shame that Caitlyn is misunderstood by many people. she is super criticized but I think a lot of criticism comes from teenagers who don't fully understand the feelings and effects of suffering. she is the real protagonist of the second season. her character has made his own journey. she fell, she made a mistake but then she got up again, she came to her senses. Let's hope we get to see her as Sheriff of Piltover one day

      It's wild how much she gets villainized when, realistically, she was in charge of the city for... maybe like 3 months? Compared to Silco's 7 Shimmer-soaked years in power or Heimerdinger's botched 200. And unlike them she was put in that position immediately following the death of her mother in one of like 6 terrorist attacks against Piltover in less than a month. At least half of which she was a direct victim of, leaving her deeply traumatized and without time or even a friend to help her process all that
      And yet, still, pretty much everything she does afterward isn't just some full on bloodthirsty revenge, but more an overzealous attempt to stop any more attacks and keep people safe. Her actions toward the undercity were obviously wrong. Authoritarian police states are bad. But... compared to a lot of other characters in this show, it was honestly pretty tame?? Much more so than I expected going into act 2
      Unlike in season 1, we never see the enforcers under Cait's command kill a single Zaunite, and even nonlethal violence without it being self-defense or something she gets furious about, she doesn't allow arrests without evidence of a crime, she even improves the state of the prison system and forbids the use of their most inhumane cells. What a heartless monster, right?

The latter is so much more interesting, and doesnt take any extra screen time to do.

    To me, it's the choke necklace or collar (sign of being leashed) and neck sleeve style (sign of protection) that show her emotional status.
    First, ever since she became an enforcer in S1, she wears a blue collar. This shows her loyalty lies on Piltover as blue is the color of Piltover as well as her mother. In S1, we see Caitlyn as more of a young, passionate, and idealist person who truly cares for Piltover (and Zaun since she meets Vi). In S2, her collar changes to red,. After her mother's death, she gets blinded by revenge, and she becomes a puppet dictator, controlled by Ambessa. Red is the color of Noxians as well as Ambessa. But, after she betrays Ambessa with the help of Vi, she doesn't wear any collars anymore, meaning she refuses to be leashed, controlled, or "mothered" by anyone.
    Second, it's the style of her neck sleeves. Up until she betrays Ambessa, she always wears the curtsy style neck sleeve with the collar (where I think Vi started calling her cupcake because it does look like a cupcake sleeve). This style of neck sleeve doesn't do anything other than styling. It's not practical. Also, you do need a collar in order to hold the neck sleeve tight. But, after she betrays Ambessa, she wears a simple yet practical turtle neck, which actually does have some protection, and you don't need a collar to hold it tight. She doesn't care about her "looks" or her status anymore like "decorative officer & leader of house Kiramann". She really doesn't look like an enforcer anymore, yet she truly is. She just wears a simple blue uniform jacket now.
    Throughout the whole show (both S1 and S2), Vi is the one who helped Caitlyn got off her collars and change her neck sleeve style. Vi is the one who freed Caitlyn being leashed, controlled, and "mothered" by someone. Vi may be Caitlyn's black turtle neck, what Caitlyn really needs for the sense of trust and protection. I mean, Caitlyn's "bounce back girlfriend" turns out to be Ambessa's spy, and Caitlyn would've been dead, if Mel wasn't there. The same thing goes for Vi. Caitlyn is the one who can take off Vi's burden and responsibility of "big sister". It's like yin-yang. Truly genius.

    I think part of why caitlyn takes vi to her room is also bc she doesnt want vi to be panicked when she wakes up and if she recognizes her surroundings she’ll be more comfortable. Its not just a reflection of how much caitlyn trusts vi and wants to let her in but also how well she knows her and is considering what vi needs

    There's definitely merit to the idea that Caitlyn's final outfit is very mature compared to her earlier casual one. It actually seems to be the same outfit as the prison scene, only with the jacket removed, so she has dropped SOME of her defensive layers since then, but not all of them. She is still bound by duty and by her nature to a feeling of responsibility for the wellbeing of Piltover. There is no question of whether Cait is "still in this fight." She will not abandon the city and the struggle to protect and improve it, not even for Vi. She can only hope that Vi will also stay and be by her side through all that
    Also, it's interesting that the sniper lost an eye, the tinkerer lost a finger, and the brawler badly injured one of her arms this season
    Because of their conflict, this cycle of violence that they didn't even start, they've all lost things and none of them can be exactly the person they were before. But maybe the new people they become can still do some good and help to bring that cycle to an end

    I like the detail of Mel being the first person to notice just how NOT okay Caitlyn is. I suspect because of her emerging empath power, even though she doesn't know her well, she goes out of her way to tell jayce to check on her.
    While others know she is grieving, they can't see how it's changing her yet. Mel might have seen the rage and hate bubbling underneath the sadness and pain 😢

      Mel's seen war and violence more so than any of people born and raised in Piltover. And we don't even know what traumatic events she had to endure during her childhood. Even in that scene when she was a teenager and her mother had that foreign princess brought up and asked Mel what to do with her, even back then we saw how empathetic she really was.

    The Enforcer uniform is very similar to Caitlys' mom's preferred style with the white shirt. Given that they are the source of a lot (if not the majority) of their funding it's not a stretch to assume her mother designed the uniform. The turtle neck look, and uniform, is much less frills and more practical/professional - and probably the first one Caitlyn has designed entirely according to her own taste. The ponytail hairstyle is also much more practical

    The parallels between Caitlyn and Jinx are incredible. Both of them made Vi choose between them. Jinx in season 1 ep 9 when she is making Vi to kill Caitlyn so she can have Powder back. And Caitlyn in season 2 when she offers Vi the enforcer badge, wanting Vi to help her find Jinx on Caitlyn's terms. And at the end (ep 8 of season 2) both Jinx and Caitlyn's love for Vi is stronger than their hate towards each other. Jinx chooses for Vi by locking her up in the cell and saying that Vi deserves to be happy and removing herself from the picture. And Caitlyn making sure that there are no guards in the way so Vi can free Jinx without problems.

    Gosh, I do love your analysis videos of these two. You've brought up so many good points that didn't even cross my mind before watching (as in another video, about Vi "picking up" Vander's gauntlets after he decides to give up that *vi*olent life, thus continuing the cycle of violence). That said, it's amazing how multifaceted these characters are. None of these characters is black or white, and every one of them has those moments when you, as a viewer, could hate them. Yet if you really put yourself into their shoes, their backstory, you understand why they made those choices. Truly amazing screenwriting.

    3:37 Usually people shoot with one eye closed. This is done in order to be more accurate, and use only what we call the dominant eye. If Caitlyn had her dominant eye impared, she certainly would've lost some of her abilities. But Ambessa didn't stab her dominant eye because as we see in the last episode of season 2, to shoot precisely she closes the eye she eventually loses. Another fun fact is that elite snipers keep both eyes open, not to aim better, but to be concious of their suroundings. So she did not loose her ability to aim, but she lost her ability to be fully aware of the possible threats around her, being more focused on her goal but not sensing danger. So she does have to rely on VI more to protect her, but also keeps her abilities entirely.

  • @izzyGO52

    I think the black does play a part in representing her grief. Grief for Ambessa who has died and who Caitlyn formed a strong bond and attachment to, but also i think this is Caitlyn's first real chance at pure grief for her mother, untainted by revenge and anger. She is at peace and grieving as she should, for the parental figures she's lost.
    In a way, i think she is being vulnerable here by showing this to Vi in a safe space, whereas she would "decorate" herself in front of others.

    You failed to mention the casual dress she wears when recovering from the attack. And i think the outfit loops in really well with everything you said in the video.
    She is talking to jayce her childhood friend and the only other person she gets emotionally expressive around. (I think) At tis point in her career she seems to be a detective? Low ranking but not at the bottom. And her mood is excited and relaxed and she is confident.
    The first thing to point out is, this outfit and the robe show that she doesn’t mind loose clothing. It isn’t a sensory thing. She may prefer tight fitting clothing but it doesn’t bother her to be in looser clothing some of the time.
    Second this scene happens before the wight of responsibility crushes her. Before her mother’s death, she can feel care free.
    She shows jayce a lot of skin because she trust him, and he knows her better than her parents. (Probably) This is all before meeting vi and her character arc really getting going.
    In other words, she starts her character arc in loose fitting revealing simple dress. No bells and whistles. If her parents wanted to look they could see who she is instead of derailing her career.
    She ends it is a more elaborate turtle neck and an eye patch. Very closed off and looking more worn down by life.

    It is possible that the cycle mentioned by Silco "is a pain that can break you or make you something better" is fulfilled. Just like Vi, Caytlin, Ekko, even Savika, they are broken inside and feel the absences. It is possible that mourning has them in a vulnerable condition. just as the heroes who hit rock bottom will now need to rise because they must, recover that spark. This moment in the epics is usually called "Catabasis", not to be confused with "Catarcis".
    We know that Vi would have to use exoskeleton reinforcements on her back for her gauntlets and Caytlin will have to use a monocle, having only one eye to adjust her shot at a distance but the rapid shot will not be affected if or if she should use magnification and not use patch but maybe a glass eye but it's Runeterra so a restored eye is part of the story.
    Our favorite couple could have a return in this form or the third season could give us a progressive recovery for both, which is better than self-concluding that they will recover.

    I think at the end of season two Caitlyn is in a transition phase. She is processing many unpleasant and pleasant situations.she definitely needs time to heal her internal wounds and I believe she is on the right path to making peace with herself. I wanted to ask you a question. I've heard some theories about when Vi calls Caitlyn "Cupcake". When she calls her that way it means that Vit is suffering, or is hiding something from her. at the end of the series Vi calls Caitlyn "Cupcake". is it a bad omen? will you make a video on this topic?

      As I understand it, it can be two things, either her being a bit sarcastic/not too serious/flirty, or she's hiding some of her feelings/doesn't want to expose herself emotionally too much. The second option is the one that's more likely, maybe implying she's going to have quite a hard time getting over her grief and traumas, but the last part, the "nothing is going ro clean me out" or whatever sounds to me like an implicit "It's gonna hurt, but I'm gonna get over it somehow, it won't take me down". like trying to end it on a good/positive note. Well, at least that's my take...

      I don't think the nickname Cupcake was a sign of anything bad to come.
      I read an fresh interview with Christian Linke. Here is the text of the interview:
      QUESTION: I read in another of your interviews that, for obvious reasons, it took you all quite a long time to figure out how to end this story. You used a derivative of the Japanese proverb “Boil and drink the dirt under your nails.” Which was the reason that the phrase sounded at the end of the show: “I am the dirt under your nails, cupcake. Nothing will wash me away.”? It's even the title of the episode, and it's been referenced several times.
      ANSWER:
      So many crazy things happen between the characters and what's so interesting is that Vi is the tough character. That’s how we introduce them in Arcane, with Caitlyn being the pampered Pilty. In this end, I feel like Caitlyn is a much tougher character than Vi is just because of the emotional toil and how they process things. Caitlyn comes out of losing her mother and the turmoil between the two cities really hardened. Vi is still pretty raw. And Caitlyn just has this question, like, “Do I still have you in my corner? Or do you need to log out because it’s been too much?” That’s the real question being asked, even if she doesn’t say it like that.
      I think Caitlyn is a bit afraid of losing Vi because of just how tough it's been. And we wanted to feel that the original Vi is still there. And they are the last words. Those will echo in people's heads for a long time. So that’s always scary.

    The fact that she is a more closed person than before except for Vi also demonstrates a more hardened character in extremes, she will be more open and perceptive with Vi but more severe and distant with others. He made the mistakes of showing his emotions and Ambessa and Madie took advantage of it.
    Let's say that the closest person he had before Vi for a long time was his mother who corrected his attitude and Jayce himself who was more of an older brother, perhaps the only one who took the liberty of resting his hand on his shoulder. Not to mention that only he and Vi called Caytlin "cait".
    Jayce's absence may play a closing role and his previously "feigned protocol" attitude will now be a "common reflex."
    It's something that happens to me, as a person I was educated not to use pseudos or common insults when speaking, I really can't say them unless I really do it on purpose and I even have a hard time finding one, I had a girlfriend but my attitude is so formal It created a personality barrier or so they thought but it's my personality, maybe that's why I caught his attention.

    I'm actually a little bit suprised that she was still wearing the turtle neck in the ending scene with Vi. I think your theory of why wearing the turtleneck is very true (grief, becoming more dark person, doesn't real show her emotions, like a physical black boundry, being choked by enemies so many times). But because she did opend up in the last episode (killing the cycle, not pursuing Jinx anymore) and living together with Vi (happy I think), I thought she whould have go for another outfit 😁 I mean she did changed her outfit very often compared to other character, or maybe I missed the other characters hahahahah to much focus on Caitlyn 🤣 so way not even more "open person" outfit as ending? (not complaining though she looks stunning in that turtleneck hahahahah)

    Alot of food for thought here.
    I would say, however, that public displays of grief, such as wearing black, can be, has been, and still is in some cultures, considered proper form - especially for upper-class people. As such, Cait wearing a black turtleneck and eyepatch could very well be a sign of grief; especially if you consider that her personality probably would make her wear some form of constant reminder of her past, and what she is fighting for.
    Regarding her skills as a shot I have already posted a comment on that in another of your videos. Suffice to say that a woo-man of Cait's caliber (no pun intended) wouldn't be overly hampered by the loss of one eye; it is something that she will learn to compensate for with practice. We have also seen that she is a very capable close quarter combatant, besting Vi during their reunion (even if it was an ambush).
    Lastly, Caitlyn Kiramman, Shijo Rei (PriConne), Kiryuuin Satsuki (Kill la Kill) are my favourite characters overall. I guess I have a thing for commanding upperclass women with long black hair.

    I’m still struggling with why she calls her “Violet” (for the first time). On first thought it’s very impersonal (try calling your significant other by their first name and see what happens). It could be her way though of showing the love her sister had for her lives on in Cait (only Powder/Jinx called her that), or that she sees Vi now as a whole person and not just a love interest. Thoughts please?

      I actually think because Vi always stood for violence and Vi changed in her essence - she is not so much about violence anymore. I agree, it also feels more intimate (Caitlyn = Cait), as well as a sign of how Vi's tattoo has now a scar on it so she is no longer "Vi" the way she used to be.

    Hm, interesting, while this might be her Final Look in Arcane, could this really be her final look overall?
    By the way, i wonder what Jinx’s Final Look could be by the End of Arcane, while she’s in the Zeppelin? I hope we get to see at some point.

    I love Cait. Because she's the rock keeper Vi together. That's why I love her.
    As another helping hand you should watch the actors video she did... She gives it all away with her face that Caitlyn is coming back. I did a video on it if you want to do a vid on that.

      @StopMeOh I know. But this is the actress talking. Just watch it 😅 she gives it away with her face she's coming back and at the end she says "we'll find out soon" hinting of a reveal soon.

      @StopMeOh it's ony channel but to find it, it's one of those things people pay the actors to send them a video message.

    If Vi kills Ambessa in the first place Cati might still got both eyes😢

    Excellent insights, fine lady. They led me to this interpretation of what was additionally being impressed in Cait's final look scene::
    A. The patched eye is the one Caitlin closed to keen her targeting eye for training her rifle.
    ADD:
    B. Caitlin is as sharp eyed a sleuth as she is a shot.
    ADD:
    C. Cait's using her sharpened targeting eye as she's sleuthing: the recovered monkeyhead fragment of the Hex gemstoned monkey bomb with which Jinx seemingly terminated her and Warrick's lives as they plummeted the Hexgate tower shaft; the Kirraman archives structural schematics of the HexGate tower shaft, ducts and conduits.
    EQUATES:... the slight smile which widens upon overhearing Violet's humming muse.

    That could be the reason why she stepped down from the counsel. Caitlyn likes being incognito 🥸 but couldn't keep the façades with VI. Caitlyn rarely reply to compliments, sorrow ...and other that public events you can tell Cait spend a lot of times in her room with her Silko conspiracies
    Any other moments, Caitlyn would have refused Ambessa's promotion but as a war strategist Ambessa knew and how to put Caitlyn under the spotlight. 😢

      I feel like she wants to be in action and actually helping others (hence her being an enforcer). I also agree it wouldve been very odd for her to not accept the commander position from ambessa as it would weaken her house and their influence in the vunerable state it was in.
