Isha's sacrifice broke me in more ways than I thought possible. The saddest part is since she never spoke, Jinx won't even be able to hold onto her as a voice in her head.
I can't,man. I wanna deny the thought that She & Vander are gone. I already can't do anything now ,but thinking about what happened to that sweet little one ,keep watching reactions ,for I don't know an answer or some shit. I don't know ,I can't...😢
I like how they give us hope by Vander slowly progressing with Viktors healing, standing up right and acknowledging the presence of his love ones, even speaking. Then just rip it all out in the next scene. The writers are ruthless
I never seen anyone mention it so I will. The way they drew her face contributes big time. She has these huge eyes, tiny mouth and great smile. Big head as well. She is very cute. Don't forget her teeth. The character design is perfect for the role.
@@bubsenseijebe2993 she made me smile a couple of times hanging around Vander and showing affection and also took the defensive stance in front of him! lil badass
@@vadman5537 nah, she was incredibly more resourceful than Powder was at that age. She was a vision of what Powder could have been if nutured in the right way from someone with the same inventiveness.
Small detail if you guys missed it, if you listen closely to the melody that plays in the background when Warwick first goes all orange and angry, it’s the same melody that plays when Vander made his last stand in Episode 3 of the first season.
@@arrehandoraofficial2182 It’s very likely that Vander is completely gone now. Warwick began getting enraged cuz Singed regained consciousness and injected that orange stuff into Vander when Vi, Jinx, Isha, and Caitlyn all went outside to see what happened. Even if he hadn’t injected that stuff in Warwick, something bad still could’ve happened when Vikktor died due to his power helping keep Warwick as Vander, and if Vikktor didn’t die, then Ambessa was only going to charge in and take Vander back and possibly could’ve forced Warwick back out. There were too many forces working against them for Vander to stay, so he’s most likely gone permanently now and all that will be left for the rest of the season and beyond (if he survives both the attack and whatever else is thrown at him in Act III), will become the monster we know Warwick as in the game.
@@CuddlyKitsune I believe Vander/Warwick went crazy and ham again, because Viktor died, which reversed all of the healing and humanity pulling Viktor did.
Jayce probably saw something horrific in his time in the arcane that motivated him to do what he did so easily. The visions he was having of the cultists were just faceless monsters. I believe when Viktor was “healing” these people he was taking away their identities completely and subjecting them to the hivemind of the hexcore. With the way Viktor puppeteers them, it’s like they all become an extension of himself. If you notice, they also show no fear at any kind of disturbance, not when they see Vander or when Jayce has a giant arcane hammer in one of their faces. Sooner or later, something sinister would’ve likely smelled had Jayce not done what he did. I really am hoping we get his perspective next episode.
He probably saw the future of what they would become. I don’t think the people Viktor healed yet were like that. But Jayce caused the future he was trying to prevent. Because now Viktor will have 0 humanity. At least here he was peaceful.
That is true, this cult was shady. I believe Viktor's intentions were good but he might not have understood the real power behind it all. Jayce also was controlled by an ancient voice we could see that his mind was full of eyes of the void so i wopuldn't be so sure he was on the right path either.
‘That which inspires us to do our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil.’ What a line. Jinx’s greatest evil was killing the council and starting this conflict and revolution without which she would never have met Isha and grown as a person or reconnected with Vi or found and helped Vander. So now we will see what her greatest good will be as a result of all of this.
i remember in the first season he said something along the line "In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good." This shows that Viktor is maturing. He’s moving from feeling guilty about what happened to understanding that this is a natural part of progress. His character represents the idea that striving for greatness always comes with risks. this is atleast how i see it
Viktor's line made me think more about S1 ep 3 where powders intention was to save her family but ended up being a horrible thing that changed the trajectory of her life.
I think its the other way around. Isha helped her. Jinx became a better person and started to care a little about Zaun and the Rebellion. Now without her, Jinx will burn Piltover to the ground
@@Justin-gz3cp I would say Jinx didn't care about the rebellion when Isha was around. She had someone to take care of. But now... Also, I personally think people are coping hard with the Ekko save, based on a pause. I think the pause just represents the specific moment everything changed.
Isha was doing her greatest good to save her found family. She sacrificed herself so proud of what she was saving. The thing is, it may result in Jinx becoming her greatest evil form. Weird thing is, the characters are developed so well that a mute girl we've know for a few episodes just destroyed outer hearts. And Jayce basically just became the new "it's Starlord's fault" meme, but he probably did the right thing. Every character does what they think is right, and that's because in the moment, they're all correct.
@@Dave_of_Mordor I've never played the game, I was just wondering why they weren't there with jayce in the plane. You don't see them when we do get back to jayce; and they aren't there when salo drops by.
@@kennedyflint6140 I'm pretty sure Jayce, Ekko and Heimer are trying to fix everything from within the void/hexcore because when he kills viktor he says "I won't fail, I swear" like he has tried it before.. and if you look at the explosion after Isha shoots, time stops for a moment. Ekko and Heimer are messing with time and sending Jayce to try to stop something
I'm wondering if his going to come back mechanical now with his belief that emotions should be removed for the sake of evolution. They've changed things though so can see either him coming back or not.
this was by far the act that made me cry the most. started crying when Vander recognized Jinx, cried again when they all hugged, cried when jayce shot vik, when Vander cried, and with Isha's sacrifice. kept crying like two hours after i finished the episode bc Jinx and Vi lost their dad ONCE AGAIN.
Man I didn’t realize how much I loved Isha until this episode and the craziest part about it is I was both sad and proud of her. She was a true fighter from the start and her actions in ep4/5 really showed that she was willing to do what it takes. Brilliant writing for a character that doesn’t even speak. EDIT: a parallel I don’t see people talking about is with Cait, Vi and Jinx at the end. When Cait is carrying Vi and Vi turns to go back for Jinx. That to me mirrors back in S1 on the bridge where Vi is carrying Cait, turns to look at Jinx but keeps walking.
I love how they added little moments between her and Vander. She so quickly protected him in every interaction and her little gestures of kindness to him throughout the episode meant a lot to her character development. Its crazy Arcane can make a mute little girl be so beloved. Makes it worse, the ending of the episode. Cried a river no doubt
To say this hit hard is an understatement! Isha was a fantastic character. What she bought to the show and, more importantly, Jinx was defining. Loved the relationship between her and Jinx. Now I have a feeling in Act 3, Jinx will lose her s**t.
There are only 3 ways I see Isha surviving: Warwick snapping out of it briefly and shielding her from the blast (though unlikely), that child has some some hidden untold power, or time travel of some compacity.
I got a feeling jayce the one that make victor become cold maybe his not evil but he will be a machine..I have feelings that jayce being manipulated by the hexcore but victor is accept his fate also maybe jayce that make a mistake him killing victor maybe his biggest mistake..
@@aidieltaufik9954 Yes i believe that two sides of the same coin is also a metaphor for how they responded to the Arcane. Viktor willingly embracing it for good. Where Jayce was distraught by it and saw it as a curse.
Lets not pretend that Viktor didnt start a cult and the way he was connected with everyone that if he'd die that people would body snatch scream is haunting as much as not knowing Jayce's reason.
Yes he was on a flawed path but he still had his humanity intact. He could have been reasoned with. But now since he has lost his trust in humanity.... There's no going back.
His chat with Vi/Jinx and Singed showed so much about his love for humanity. His interaction with Vander and his will to save him even if he had to die were the best part of this episode. The one corrupted by the void looked to be Jayce to me.
@@JustCauseFanI think his actions were morally grey at most but he wouldve become fully corrupted at some point. I see the kid taking jayce to viktor as him guiding jayce so he can kill him and destroy the core.
I'm pretty sure Jayce, Ekko and Heimer are trying to fix everything from within the void/hexcore because when he kills viktor he says "I won't miss, I swear" like he has tried it before.. and if you look at the explosion after Isha shoots, time stops for a moment. Ekko and Heimer are messing with time and sending Jayce to try to stop something
All the people viktor "cured" were acting creepy and not at all like themselves. And everyone dropping like puppets once he dies? Red flag to me. I think viktor was acting as a conduit for some greater being/power. He was more divorced from his human emotions after he merged with hexcore, but at his core he is kind and wants to help others. So he kept those aspects. Yet just because he thought he was helping people doesn't mean there wasn't something sinister going on underneath it all. I suspect that the people he was healing were exchanging something else in return without knowing it. Jayce looks unwell, too, so his response might have been understandable yet still impulsive. I'm really curious as to what's going on in his head.
Dunno. It seemed from the start that the power in the Hexcore is up to something sinister. And whatever that is, Viktor turned it onto its head. And so it had to react to that in some whay. That's why it captured Heimerdinger, Jayce and Ekko. And set Jayce on a path to stop Viktor, so that the original plan can proceed.
@Quotenwagnerianer I like that theory too. Though I still can't imagine all the people Victor touched acting lobotomised is a good thing. It reminds me of the parasitic aliens in "the Host" novel.
the thing is, in-game viktor is not without emotions. he's striving to be absolutely rational and logical but he still has emotions - they're just subdued. that's why I've liked his character and the inner conflict of trying to cast his humanity off completely but not being able to. I wonder if they'll keep this part in the show
And to make it hurt more. But what a fitting tribute to the Champion Isha Isha’s Song (It’s Fine This Way) by Eason Chan Child, don’t be afraid of the thorns, with just your barefoot You can discover the essence of the world You see, the sky’s turning gray But how stunning were the fireworks Don’t feel panicked, don’t feel sad We’re all slaves of nature, all blossom and withered Yet, stubborn rocks and barriers Bloom with grace ---- (chorus) Push aside the mountains, let her see me Tell those stars to shine on me faster Blow away the dark clouds, with that blue in my heart Even if the world is full of desolation We can life our heads up and see the moon When we were still in the guise of children As one among millions, you still must blossom into a solitary and splendid flower Don’t wander into troubles anymore Never forget Even if tears flow, keep on running forward Run until you completely lose track of time Become a carefree, flying bird (chorus ends) ---- Push aside the mountains, let her see me Tell those stars to shine on me faster (chorus repeats) Stop searching Give me a hug Just quietly forget I’m fine the way I am
I was listening to the soundtrack this morning thinking that without any visuals I'd be okay when I heard her song - but that was all a lie. Soon as the swell in the music hit I started sobbing all over again. Arcane managed to give me PTSD. What a show!
I knew the second they released a sad song called Isha's song showing her character a couple weeks ago that she would die yet it still hit so hard, have no clue how Act 3 will wrap up
that does often seem to be a pretty big hint, feels like most characters in fiction that get a song titled "[character's name here]'s song" the character will inevitably have a tragic death while that song plays.
as a League Lore Nerd I can almost guarantee you Jayce did the right thing anything that looks into the celestial magics is absolutely more dangerous to be allowed to live.
None of those people touched by Viktor were really alive anymore. They were just arcane husks. Salo wasn't breathing in the room with Jayce, you could see Jayces breath due to the cold and flashes of Salo being some featureless arcane robot, same with the people in the village. I think they were something else, and something that would turn out to be more sinister than it appears.
26:09 Ekko might be the reason they'll survive the explosion here, if he gets in time creating his Z-drive device in the next act, he'll use the ability parallel convergence to get them to safety hence the pause of time in the ending😊
Knowing Ekko's ult is still spoiling, like imagine u told John, Vander becomes WW in act 1. That would have spoiled the supprize in act 2. People who spoil are like this Tweaker Jayce trying to save the world by destroying.
for anyone wondering its love thats supposed to be the inspiration for evil and greatness that viktor is talking about, isha being the great good and her sacrificing herself to stop vander and also save jinx and vi from having to kill their dad, while singed is the great evil willing to commit to war and torture vander turning him into the beast in an effort to save his own daughter from death.
So far, episode 6 of season 2 is rated the best in the history of this series, but there are still 3 episodes ahead of us As a League of Legends player and world history expert, I predicted a lot.
I’m pretty sure Jayce was doing the right thing. Victor was 100% being manipulated by the arcane maybe they’re both wrong and right in different ways I’m not sure but we’ve yet to truly see what went up with Jayce while he was stuck same with echo
@@Dravakin it’s possible but I do think he was “helping” vander the same way he was “helping” everyone else it’s misguided but maybe in the one who’s too suspicious idk yet
I have no idea how literally every single reactor I have seen so far didn't notice anything INCREDIBLY CREEPY, WEIRD AND FREAKY about how everyone just started screeching and doing a lightshow and then falling down like puppets after Viktor "died". Like, seriously? Does that not set off alarm bells for everyone? Or how Viktor could just bodysnatch people if he wanted? The Hexcore killed Skye in order to heal Viktor. Now suddenly it is healing people for free without any consequence? I don't buy it. I didn't buy it for a second. There was something really weird going on with Viktor's powers. I don't think Viktor himself knew. I think Viktor was completely genuine and had good intentions, but I think his powers and the hexcore were using him. I especially don't trust that "Skye" entity that he was seeing.
DON'T BLAME JAYCE! It was the doctor who caused Warwick to freakout not Jayce killing Viktor! We left The unconscious doctor and warwick in the room together alone. Warwick busts out, insides turning to lava. Viktor never changed his physiology yet so why would that happen? Because the Doctor succeeded in Giving him the serum he worked on to undo Viktor's work. You can see the Doctor standing in the room where he and warwick were just waiting. Who knows how quickly he got up, or maybe he was never unconscious. This guy has meticulously done and planned everything he does. Remember he ASKED to go in the first time. I think currently everything is playing to his tune. I don't think he set up all the pieces, but now that he's playing he's more in control than it seems.
Victor's handprints were on his head tho so he'd done some healing already and was connected to Vander. You could also see whatever was happening to the rest of the commune was also happening to him cuz something was leaving him through the handprint marks.
Vander in season 1 episode 3 on shimmer was terrifying. @ 20:50 - Rictus facing Apex Shimmer Vander, "Whelp, at least I have a new pair of brown pants." Sucks the episode ended right after that. Wonder what will happen to everyone next week and why is everyone talking about De Nile? 21:54 - Jayce, "and now, a return to our regularly scheduled Arcane."
This was my initial response to episode 6: If you'll excuse me I'm just gonna...I'm just gonna...*walks over to the far dark corner of the room and gets in a fetal position, bawling eyes out.*
Arcane is one of the prettiest & greatest things I've seen in my life. It's on par with my other favorite shows of A:TLA, supernatural, psych, Netflix's Daredevil and few others. I'm never gonna forget this show. And it's one of the few that brought me to tears.
Actually I think Viktor was initially on the up and up in wanting to heal folks but I think Jace went to the future and saw what Viktor becomes not even realizing He's the reason he becomes that (in this act of killing him he's turned him against humanity).
@@IAmHavok ohh that’d be good, he becomes that because if Jayce but Jayce only does that because he see what Viktors become… bootstrap paradox. Lol how see they gonna wrap this up in 3 episodes?!
I have to say: that was the best Patreon shoutout I've seen, yet. That was hilarious. A great way to counterbalance all the grief that this bloody episode caused me...
Having Isha essentially "look down the camera" whilst simultaneously having the audience know she is looking at Jinx for the gun fingers was absolutely genius. Instead of it feeling like we lost a character we loved, that small moment makes you feel like you lost a younger sister, niece, or maybe even daughter
I cried during Viktor getting a glimpse into Vander’s memories and I cried when Isha sacrificed herself. I’m not okay. I still don’t know if Viktor dying caused Vander to go berserk or if it was Singed injecting him with his serum
i feel like it was singe since he altered his injection and added something orange to it. and with how much the creators pay attention to colors in this show i find it to be too much of a coincidence that he made it orange and then vander randomly goes magma mode after being left alone with singe.
What a cliffhanger!! I don’t know how they are going to wrap it up!! Animation and story 🙌🏽🙌🏽…Isha sacrificing herself and the horror on Jinx’s face. Felt horrible and who knows what she will do next…so emotional…wtf Jacye?!?! Hope more to this than we are lead to believe
‘That which inspires us to do our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil.’ possible spoiler because i know the character from League: if you know viktor from league you know theres no way hes dead because he hasnt become that version yet (unless they're changing something). Viktor worked with Jayce to help make the world better and now Jayce has hurt Viktor which will be the catalyst for him becoming the version from league.
@@stevenmoyer2718 is he forcing though? most of the time poor people who lost their limbs didn't mind replacing it with functional advanced prosthetics. his whole ideology is questionable but he's not forcing it for the most part. the only time I remember from the lore is when he was keeping people alive but they were basically braindead (which is a parallel they did with the hivemind cult). it was the main conflict between him and Jayce - taking away someone's free will. and of course philosophical differences about humanity and human emotions. so ethically speaking, Viktor is morally gray but he's not like Singed for example
Something strange is definitely going on with Jayce and Victor that we don’t understand yet. Something tells me that Victor was planning his own death. Dude literally could see the past, who’s to say he couldn’t see the future. It also seemed too easy that he would just let Jayce walk in and kill him when he already knew Jayce wasn’t himself. I’m just so lost on what’s actually happening with that. Victor also mentions a “hand in the sky” controlling everything, and throughout the series we keep seeing that wizard holding open his hand. What if that is Victor, that would be a crazy twist.
It is no wonder so many people fall for cults. How can anyone look at that whole situation, the way Viktor could bodysnatch people, the way everyone's lives depended on him, the way his personality changed, the way he suddenly trusted the Hexcore And not think something was incredibly off? Especially how everyone screeched and fell like puppets in the end. Crazy.
What Jayce did IMO was try to change the future where Viktor was the evil machine. By killing him he created the future he was trying to prevent. Because Viktor was peaceful.
"Don't. understimate. Ambessa." Fucking true. No one doubts her capabilities. On top of that, and what I consider a phenomenal character decision: she listens to all three of Vi's rules for respect. It shows her character, her understanding, and that she, herself, tries not to underestimate her enemies. She learns. She adapts. And she always renegotiates her position before moving forward. It's how she got to be the ruling family. And it's why she's deemed it a necessity to fund unethical science in order to acquire powers beyond normal means.
While loosing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time. Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it. So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness.
When the finale come out and after you guys watch it, if you're interested in learning more about the world as a whole I'd recommend checking out Necrit's videos on what to expect in Riot's mmo since it's the same world setting. Not sure how much of it will remain canon since Riot is currently reworking the lore to be more Arcane compliant but I think they're still worth a watch.
Seeing the hope, healing, and peace Viktor brought to the Undercity, Jinx and Vi consider staying in the community together, Jinx happy with Isha, Jinx and Vi getting their father figure back, Vander getting a second chance with his family, Viktor is happy helping his people with Sky... only for it all to get ripped away again-the healed are dead, Viktor is dead, Vander suffers again, Jinx and Vi lose their dad again, Isha sacrificing herself. Makes me HATE Jayce, even though I feel he must have been corrupted by the Arcane. But damn, they could have been happy. It hits so hard.
I also love the symbolism between Vi saving Jinx and pulling her away from Isha. Both times in Season 1 Vi tried to go back and save Jinx from Silco only for her to be pulled away both times.
my theory is that during episode 6 everyone is stuck in the singularity. in the intro victor takes chaos in his hand and put it in his eye. i think he’s seeing multiple realities. the whole episode feels like a dream. i think the arcane is affecting the real world and everything is not what it seems. everything is replicating
Ekko has time manipulation abilities, hence the name. also the loop of the gear falling in the beginning of the episode and later on a couple times as well leads me to believe ( him & dinger) are doing or going to do some time travel loop stuff
The way they showed the end at the beginning And her speech when they were training at the beginning is kinda just saying what happened in the episode “Lava in veins”, “sacrifice”
As sad as this is, this is a stark contrast to the events that unfolded in S1E3. Jinx found absolution for her past deeds through Isha. She empowered her with the courage to make that sacrifice for her loved ones. Jinx turned Isha into a hero. That can’t be in vain, and I think Ekko will remind her of that when he returns.
I think what hurts is that Isha is defiantly the kid that is trying to be just like there parents or older siblings not truly realizing the consequences or risk they go through they just wanna be like the one they love So I bet when Jinx saw Isha putting in the two hextech orbs she saw her own accident that got her family killed all over again, realizing the danger she's in
"A singularity simultaneously self-replicating and self-annihilating" - pretty much the theme of the whole show, all these relationships that turn destructive but then spawn new ones: In Zaun we have Vander and Silco's relationship turns destructive after Vi's mums death but out of that we get Vander, Vi and Powder. Vi and Powder's relationship turns destructive after Vanders death but out of that we get Silco and Jinx, Vi and Caitlyn. Silco and Jinx break and she goes off with Sevika and Isha, Vi and Caitlyn break and Ciatlyn goes off with that other one. In Piltover we have the same with Heimedinger and Revnik leading to Victor and Revnik, which leads to Victor and Jace/Heimedinger and Echo.
Honestly shocked at how a animated show is making me cry in my 30’s! This shit is amazing don’t make me wait another three years after the finale plz Netflix!!!
It has so many layers because Yes, Viktor had a vision and it was gone forth in his way only. He is the sole identity of the people. Hive Mind. Although it seemed he has genuine love for humanity as paradoxical as it is with the way it turned out. The paradox being, all these people losing their identities to a cult hive mind where as you see Vander rapidly GAINING his. Progressing throughout the episode from feral behaviours to standing up right, acknowledging his daughters to even speaking. The writing about the Arcane is so interesting. It could be debated on for hours. Two sides of the same coin could be a metaphor for so much in the episode
When you know the characters this show is so hard to watch because they make you love everyone in their own way but (assuming they’re trying to be somewhat accurate to the characters in game) you know what they become already so it’s so emotional and sad to see the journey. Im so scared to see if they turn Viktor into what he is in the game.
Jayce looks like the guy that teleported him away when he was a young boy in the very beginning of the first episode of season 1 !!! some time of time travel BS is going to happen!
I’ve been watching this series one episode at a time just one every day or two. I don’t want it to end so I’m going really really slow…. Waited so long for this series to drop and now I know it’s also over in 3 episodes 😢

Jayce probably went to the future and saw something
This one isn't on the playlist I had to look it up manually
Isha's sacrifice broke me in more ways than I thought possible. The saddest part is since she never spoke, Jinx won't even be able to hold onto her as a voice in her head.
Agreed. I can't believe they did that.
I think that's a good thing. Because those voices are torturing her.
I can't,man. I wanna deny the thought that She & Vander are gone. I already can't do anything now ,but thinking about what happened to that sweet little one ,keep watching reactions ,for I don't know an answer or some shit. I don't know ,I can't...😢
When Jinx freaks out when Sevika tells her that Isha was taken, you can see Isha as one of the faces that are in her head
@AmTpGaMt now this is gonna the worse voice ever in her.
I like how they give us hope by Vander slowly progressing with Viktors healing, standing up right and acknowledging the presence of his love ones, even speaking. Then just rip it all out in the next scene. The writers are ruthless
The fact that they made a mute child one of the most loveable characters in the show in a sign of fantastic writing.
I never seen anyone mention it so I will. The way they drew her face contributes big time. She has these huge eyes, tiny mouth and great smile. Big head as well. She is very cute. Don't forget her teeth. The character design is perfect for the role.
The way she so bravely protected Vander in every interaction. And so sweet to him all the time with her little gestures. Heartbreaking.
@@bubsenseijebe2993 she made me smile a couple of times hanging around Vander and showing affection and also took the defensive stance in front of him! lil badass
I don't know what you talking about, she annoyed me all the way as was jinx before isha, the irony
@@vadman5537 nah, she was incredibly more resourceful than Powder was at that age. She was a vision of what Powder could have been if nutured in the right way from someone with the same inventiveness.
Small detail if you guys missed it, if you listen closely to the melody that plays in the background when Warwick first goes all orange and angry, it’s the same melody that plays when Vander made his last stand in Episode 3 of the first season.
So Vander completely died right?And Warwick gonna be really coming in upcoming episodes?
Singed is gonna fix him. Notice how the Warwick design doesn’t have the full wolf head; Singed will fill in the parts that were burned away
@@arrehandoraofficial2182 It’s very likely that Vander is completely gone now. Warwick began getting enraged cuz Singed regained consciousness and injected that orange stuff into Vander when Vi, Jinx, Isha, and Caitlyn all went outside to see what happened. Even if he hadn’t injected that stuff in Warwick, something bad still could’ve happened when Vikktor died due to his power helping keep Warwick as Vander, and if Vikktor didn’t die, then Ambessa was only going to charge in and take Vander back and possibly could’ve forced Warwick back out. There were too many forces working against them for Vander to stay, so he’s most likely gone permanently now and all that will be left for the rest of the season and beyond (if he survives both the attack and whatever else is thrown at him in Act III), will become the monster we know Warwick as in the game.
@@CuddlyKitsune I believe Vander/Warwick went crazy and ham again, because Viktor died, which reversed all of the healing and humanity pulling Viktor did.
Isha's sacrifice broke me more than I thought it would.
Same, I just sat in silence for like 10 minutes to process it all
Fr I still tear up
Over 10 times than I thought it would be.
Between Isha's sacrifice and the disaster at the factory from season 1, which is worse?
Bro i'm still crying....
Jayce probably saw something horrific in his time in the arcane that motivated him to do what he did so easily. The visions he was having of the cultists were just faceless monsters. I believe when Viktor was “healing” these people he was taking away their identities completely and subjecting them to the hivemind of the hexcore. With the way Viktor puppeteers them, it’s like they all become an extension of himself. If you notice, they also show no fear at any kind of disturbance, not when they see Vander or when Jayce has a giant arcane hammer in one of their faces. Sooner or later, something sinister would’ve likely smelled had Jayce not done what he did. I really am hoping we get his perspective next episode.
He probably saw the future of what they would become. I don’t think the people Viktor healed yet were like that. But Jayce caused the future he was trying to prevent. Because now Viktor will have 0 humanity. At least here he was peaceful.
That is true, this cult was shady. I believe Viktor's intentions were good but he might not have understood the real power behind it all. Jayce also was controlled by an ancient voice we could see that his mind was full of eyes of the void so i wopuldn't be so sure he was on the right path either.
Jayce acted like those time travel characters who failed once but had the second chance to pull the trigger.
in league lore, Viktor is a supervillain so he probably saw that
And Salo was the ONLY Person in the hex gate dome that doesn't have visible breath
He's not fucking breaking
None of them are
Cait heard 'cupcake' and folded instantly
How ironic that one of the brightest and most beautifully colorful shows of all time is also one of the darkest, most heartbreaking shows ever made.
That's the thing I love about Arcane. It proves you don't need muted colors to hold the darkness and grit of moments.
‘That which inspires us to do our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil.’
What a line.
Jinx’s greatest evil was killing the council and starting this conflict and revolution without which she would never have met Isha and grown as a person or reconnected with Vi or found and helped Vander. So now we will see what her greatest good will be as a result of all of this.
i remember in the first season he said something along the line "In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good." This shows that Viktor is maturing. He’s moving from feeling guilty about what happened to understanding that this is a natural part of progress. His character represents the idea that striving for greatness always comes with risks. this is atleast how i see it
Viktor's line made me think more about S1 ep 3 where powders intention was to save her family but ended up being a horrible thing that changed the trajectory of her life.
I think its the other way around. Isha helped her. Jinx became a better person and started to care a little about Zaun and the Rebellion. Now without her, Jinx will burn Piltover to the ground
@@Justin-gz3cp I would say Jinx didn't care about the rebellion when Isha was around. She had someone to take care of.
But now...
Also, I personally think people are coping hard with the Ekko save, based on a pause.
I think the pause just represents the specific moment everything changed.
Isha was doing her greatest good to save her found family. She sacrificed herself so proud of what she was saving. The thing is, it may result in Jinx becoming her greatest evil form.
Weird thing is, the characters are developed so well that a mute girl we've know for a few episodes just destroyed outer hearts. And Jayce basically just became the new "it's Starlord's fault" meme, but he probably did the right thing. Every character does what they think is right, and that's because in the moment, they're all correct.
Ekko:”Did you do it?”
Jayce:”Yes.”
Heimerdinger: “What did it cost?”
Jayce:”Everything.”
More like "what did it cost", J: a friend, E:what did it cost them, J: Everything.
So did jayce kill both ekko and hiemerdinger? Like Out of madness?
@@kennedyflint6140 I thought in game characters are safe
@@Dave_of_Mordor I've never played the game, I was just wondering why they weren't there with jayce in the plane. You don't see them when we do get back to jayce; and they aren't there when salo drops by.
@@kennedyflint6140 I'm pretty sure Jayce, Ekko and Heimer are trying to fix everything from within the void/hexcore because when he kills viktor he says "I won't fail, I swear" like he has tried it before.. and if you look at the explosion after Isha shoots, time stops for a moment. Ekko and Heimer are messing with time and sending Jayce to try to stop something
vader got killed twice
both times by a little girl with blue hair who used hex tech
Alright, it’s kinda funny when you put it that way lol
Vander went 0-2 vs a kid. Jayce went 2-0.
@@locoartsuu9607 W jayce
I refuse to believe Vander died twice 😭
Technically singed killed him
This episode broke me again. I cried at Isha's sacrifice. They were happy for a little while.
13:22 he said it. He said the thing.
And I just can't believe he is the same guy who giggle foolishly when shooting lasers😂
i see this comment everywhere
I'm wondering if his going to come back mechanical now with his belief that emotions should be removed for the sake of evolution. They've changed things though so can see either him coming back or not.
this was by far the act that made me cry the most. started crying when Vander recognized Jinx, cried again when they all hugged, cried when jayce shot vik, when Vander cried, and with Isha's sacrifice.
kept crying like two hours after i finished the episode bc Jinx and Vi lost their dad ONCE AGAIN.
It's ok to cry too buddy . I didn't cry ( not even once) for the last 30 years until this week. Thanks Arcane , thanks Fortiche for this gift.
am i the only one who thinks they didn’t know isha died?
Yea I haven't cried in damn near 2 decades after my mom died and this and DanDaDan with the story of the mother fucked me up this week.
Man I didn’t realize how much I loved Isha until this episode and the craziest part about it is I was both sad and proud of her. She was a true fighter from the start and her actions in ep4/5 really showed that she was willing to do what it takes. Brilliant writing for a character that doesn’t even speak. EDIT: a parallel I don’t see people talking about is with Cait, Vi and Jinx at the end. When Cait is carrying Vi and Vi turns to go back for Jinx. That to me mirrors back in S1 on the bridge where Vi is carrying Cait, turns to look at Jinx but keeps walking.
I love how they added little moments between her and Vander. She so quickly protected him in every interaction and her little gestures of kindness to him throughout the episode meant a lot to her character development. Its crazy Arcane can make a mute little girl be so beloved. Makes it worse, the ending of the episode. Cried a river no doubt
Happy we finally got a Jinx and Viktor interaction!
I busted out laughing when he said he had one condition and Jinx said, "it looks like you have a couple"
To say this hit hard is an understatement! Isha was a fantastic character. What she bought to the show and, more importantly, Jinx was defining. Loved the relationship between her and Jinx. Now I have a feeling in Act 3, Jinx will lose her s**t.
Yes unfortunately I think she will turn into the league jinx, full on crazy forever
i feel like she might continue the rebellion for isha in memory of her
Sad part is Ysha is mute so Jinx won't be hearing his/her voice if she/he dies. Not really sure if It's a boy or a girl lol.
@@reymaragagad3341 Isha is a girl, they've said it multiple times throughout the show lol
@@reymaragagad3341 maybe pay more attention
There are only 3 ways I see Isha surviving: Warwick snapping out of it briefly and shielding her from the blast (though unlikely), that child has some some hidden untold power, or time travel of some compacity.
Glorious Evolution!
Finally! We got there. And I'll never say it again unless Viktor does
And just like that, Viktor will cast off his emotions, his humanity.
I got a feeling jayce the one that make victor become cold maybe his not evil but he will be a machine..I have feelings that jayce being manipulated by the hexcore but victor is accept his fate also maybe jayce that make a mistake him killing victor maybe his biggest mistake..
@@aidieltaufik9954 Yes i believe that two sides of the same coin is also a metaphor for how they responded to the Arcane. Viktor willingly embracing it for good. Where Jayce was distraught by it and saw it as a curse.
Considering Jayce was with heimdinger and Ekko im sure there is a reason he promised to fix this the way he is doing.
Lets not pretend that Viktor didnt start a cult and the way he was connected with everyone that if he'd die that people would body snatch scream is haunting as much as not knowing Jayce's reason.
Still i think at this Point he was still good, now if he‘s Not Dead he will definitely not be good anymore
Yes he was on a flawed path but he still had his humanity intact. He could have been reasoned with. But now since he has lost his trust in humanity.... There's no going back.
Still they were gonna die anyway in zaun sewers
His chat with Vi/Jinx and Singed showed so much about his love for humanity. His interaction with Vander and his will to save him even if he had to die were the best part of this episode. The one corrupted by the void looked to be Jayce to me.
@@JustCauseFanI think his actions were morally grey at most but he wouldve become fully corrupted at some point. I see the kid taking jayce to viktor as him guiding jayce so he can kill him and destroy the core.
I'm pretty sure Jayce, Ekko and Heimer are trying to fix everything from within the void/hexcore because when he kills viktor he says "I won't miss, I swear" like he has tried it before.. and if you look at the explosion after Isha shoots, time stops for a moment. Ekko and Heimer are messing with time and sending Jayce to try to stop something
All the people viktor "cured" were acting creepy and not at all like themselves. And everyone dropping like puppets once he dies? Red flag to me. I think viktor was acting as a conduit for some greater being/power. He was more divorced from his human emotions after he merged with hexcore, but at his core he is kind and wants to help others. So he kept those aspects. Yet just because he thought he was helping people doesn't mean there wasn't something sinister going on underneath it all. I suspect that the people he was healing were exchanging something else in return without knowing it.
Jayce looks unwell, too, so his response might have been understandable yet still impulsive. I'm really curious as to what's going on in his head.
Dunno. It seemed from the start that the power in the Hexcore is up to something sinister. And whatever that is, Viktor turned it onto its head. And so it had to react to that in some whay. That's why it captured Heimerdinger, Jayce and Ekko. And set Jayce on a path to stop Viktor, so that the original plan can proceed.
@Quotenwagnerianer I like that theory too. Though I still can't imagine all the people Victor touched acting lobotomised is a good thing. It reminds me of the parasitic aliens in "the Host" novel.
@@NoctilucaBloom It read to me as Alie from the 100.
Next 3 episode will be painful, we will problably have full beast Warwick, complete crazed jinx and full machine viktor
Yeah evil viktor I’m thinking Jayce took out the sky part of viktor
the thing is, in-game viktor is not without emotions. he's striving to be absolutely rational and logical but he still has emotions - they're just subdued. that's why I've liked his character and the inner conflict of trying to cast his humanity off completely but not being able to. I wonder if they'll keep this part in the show
And to make it hurt more. But what a fitting tribute to the Champion Isha
Isha’s Song (It’s Fine This Way) by Eason Chan
Child, don’t be afraid of the thorns,
with just your barefoot
You can discover the essence of the world
You see, the sky’s turning gray
But how stunning were the fireworks
Don’t feel panicked, don’t feel sad
We’re all slaves of nature, all blossom
and withered
Yet, stubborn rocks and barriers
Bloom with grace
----
(chorus)
Push aside the mountains,
let her see me
Tell those stars to shine on me faster
Blow away the dark clouds,
with that blue in my heart
Even if the world is full of desolation
We can life our heads up and see the moon
When we were still in the guise of children
As one among millions,
you still must blossom into a solitary and splendid flower
Don’t wander into troubles anymore
Never forget
Even if tears flow,
keep on running forward
Run until you completely lose track of time
Become a carefree, flying bird
(chorus ends)
----
Push aside the mountains,
let her see me
Tell those stars to shine on me faster
(chorus repeats)
Stop searching
Give me a hug
Just quietly forget
I’m fine the way I am
I was listening to the soundtrack this morning thinking that without any visuals I'd be okay when I heard her song - but that was all a lie. Soon as the swell in the music hit I started sobbing all over again. Arcane managed to give me PTSD. What a show!
I knew the second they released a sad song called Isha's song showing her character a couple weeks ago that she would die yet it still hit so hard, have no clue how Act 3 will wrap up
that does often seem to be a pretty big hint, feels like most characters in fiction that get a song titled "[character's name here]'s song" the character will inevitably have a tragic death while that song plays.
This is honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen.
same
as a League Lore Nerd I can almost guarantee you Jayce did the right thing anything that looks into the celestial magics is absolutely more dangerous to be allowed to live.
Celestial magic is ok. It's Void/Watcher magic that's bad and corrupts.
None of those people touched by Viktor were really alive anymore. They were just arcane husks. Salo wasn't breathing in the room with Jayce, you could see Jayces breath due to the cold and flashes of Salo being some featureless arcane robot, same with the people in the village. I think they were something else, and something that would turn out to be more sinister than it appears.
Aw man I crying like a baby then rewinded it and cried again...
We all need a good cry every now and then.
Okay. So am i the only one who thinks time actually stopped at the end there? Maybe ekko is coming in for another huge save?
The boy savior!

@@YuenQestirplease don't give me hope bro
I hope that's not the case. There would be nothing interesting in such a plot twist, but rather just damage the artwork
26:09 Ekko might be the reason they'll survive the explosion here, if he gets in time creating his Z-drive device in the next act, he'll use the ability parallel convergence to get them to safety hence the pause of time in the ending😊
Okay, from now on until act 3, I’m gonna start believing that’s what’s gonna happen…😭
Ekko's zdrive aint stopping me from disliking this spoiler ass post.
Knowing Ekko's ult is still spoiling, like imagine u told John, Vander becomes WW in act 1. That would have spoiled the supprize in act 2. People who spoil are like this Tweaker Jayce trying to save the world by destroying.
Isha represented the 4th principle that ambessa told. Anayay where is ekko and heimerdinger?
for anyone wondering its love thats supposed to be the inspiration for evil and greatness that viktor is talking about, isha being the great good and her sacrificing herself to stop vander and also save jinx and vi from having to kill their dad, while singed is the great evil willing to commit to war and torture vander turning him into the beast in an effort to save his own daughter from death.
25:00 Jinx is losing Powder all over again.
my goat jayce hauled ass and get SHIT DONE.
So far, episode 6 of season 2 is rated the best in the history of this series, but there are still 3 episodes ahead of us
As a League of Legends player and world history expert, I predicted a lot.
I’m pretty sure Jayce was doing the right thing. Victor was 100% being manipulated by the arcane maybe they’re both wrong and right in different ways I’m not sure but we’ve yet to truly see what went up with Jayce while he was stuck same with echo
I agree, I also wonder if Vander change was due to Singe and not Viktor, they left him “unconscious” in the room with him when they ran out
@@Dravakin it’s possible but I do think he was “helping” vander the same way he was “helping” everyone else it’s misguided but maybe in the one who’s too suspicious idk yet
@@joshbourne9679 we'll never know now.
I have no idea how literally every single reactor I have seen so far didn't notice anything INCREDIBLY CREEPY, WEIRD AND FREAKY about how everyone just started screeching and doing a lightshow and then falling down like puppets after Viktor "died".
Like, seriously? Does that not set off alarm bells for everyone? Or how Viktor could just bodysnatch people if he wanted?
The Hexcore killed Skye in order to heal Viktor. Now suddenly it is healing people for free without any consequence? I don't buy it. I didn't buy it for a second. There was something really weird going on with Viktor's powers. I don't think Viktor himself knew. I think Viktor was completely genuine and had good intentions, but I think his powers and the hexcore were using him. I especially don't trust that "Skye" entity that he was seeing.
Something was very wrong with what Viktor was cooking. However, it’s not yet clear if Jayce made it better or worse.
"...if this kid dies in tHIS episode I'm gonna lose my shit"
oh boy LMAO
DON'T BLAME JAYCE! It was the doctor who caused Warwick to freakout not Jayce killing Viktor! We left The unconscious doctor and warwick in the room together alone. Warwick busts out, insides turning to lava. Viktor never changed his physiology yet so why would that happen? Because the Doctor succeeded in Giving him the serum he worked on to undo Viktor's work. You can see the Doctor standing in the room where he and warwick were just waiting. Who knows how quickly he got up, or maybe he was never unconscious. This guy has meticulously done and planned everything he does. Remember he ASKED to go in the first time. I think currently everything is playing to his tune. I don't think he set up all the pieces, but now that he's playing he's more in control than it seems.
Victor's handprints were on his head tho so he'd done some healing already and was connected to Vander.
You could also see whatever was happening to the rest of the commune was also happening to him cuz something was leaving him through the handprint marks.
what? they stoped Singed before he could do anything
"That which inspires us to do our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil"
I think singed answered that quote in the last episode…

What's your FAVORITE Moment from Season 2, Act 2???
Family Reunion
Jayce splatting Salo on the camera
Remember me, remember me
I'm on my own, remember me....
The flashbacks. Makes the story so much more tragic. I also like seeing more vander and silco.

As with the charcoal on Cait's mom's funeral it was all real paintings.
Remember me, remember me

Jayce just had to reach his kid killing quota this time indirectly
Vander in season 1 episode 3 on shimmer was terrifying. @ 20:50 - Rictus facing Apex Shimmer Vander, "Whelp, at least I have a new pair of brown pants."
Sucks the episode ended right after that. Wonder what will happen to everyone next week and why is everyone talking about De Nile?
21:54 - Jayce, "and now, a return to our regularly scheduled Arcane."
13:22 HE SAID THE THING!! FOR GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!
This was my initial response to episode 6:
If you'll excuse me I'm just gonna...I'm just gonna...*walks over to the far dark corner of the room and gets in a fetal position, bawling eyes out.*
Arcane is one of the prettiest & greatest things I've seen in my life. It's on par with my other favorite shows of A:TLA, supernatural, psych, Netflix's Daredevil and few others. I'm never gonna forget this show. And it's one of the few that brought me to tears.
I have a feeling we’re gonna get context to Viktor/ Jayce where Jayce may not be the bad guy we think he is.. there is something sus about Viktor
also sus on Jayce, why is his stone all of a sudden stuck in his skin and his hammer looks corrupted too.
Actually I think Viktor was initially on the up and up in wanting to heal folks but I think Jace went to the future and saw what Viktor becomes not even realizing He's the reason he becomes that (in this act of killing him he's turned him against humanity).
@@IAmHavok ohh that’d be good, he becomes that because if Jayce but Jayce only does that because he see what Viktors become… bootstrap paradox. Lol how see they gonna wrap this up in 3 episodes?!
@Dravakin it'll be a crazy 3 episodes for sure
@@IAmHavok this this this! I've been saying this for Days now xD
How can a character introduced in episode 2 of season 2 with like 20 minutes of screen time and zero spoken words make my heart break like this???
Why am I subjecting myself to this pain again!? This is gonna hurt every time.
I have to say: that was the best Patreon shoutout I've seen, yet. That was hilarious. A great way to counterbalance all the grief that this bloody episode caused me...
Having Isha essentially "look down the camera" whilst simultaneously having the audience know she is looking at Jinx for the gun fingers was absolutely genius. Instead of it feeling like we lost a character we loved, that small moment makes you feel like you lost a younger sister, niece, or maybe even daughter
Arcane REALLY knows how to make you cry …
I cried during Viktor getting a glimpse into Vander’s memories and I cried when Isha sacrificed herself. I’m not okay. I still don’t know if Viktor dying caused Vander to go berserk or if it was Singed injecting him with his serum
i feel like it was singe since he altered his injection and added something orange to it. and with how much the creators pay attention to colors in this show i find it to be too much of a coincidence that he made it orange and then vander randomly goes magma mode after being left alone with singe.
@@gin4635 At this point it would be nice for Jinx to blow up his daughter and let him know the suffering he inflicted on her.
Ambessa’s one redeeming quality was her protectiveness of her family. Now we see what she’s like without that.
Isha’s sacrifice broke me yesterday when I watched the episode and it broke me now watching this again. I’ll never recover.
I love how Jayce is the universal wild card. I said it out loud watching by myself and every reactor at least one person says it. Common ground
What a cliffhanger!! I don’t know how they are going to wrap it up!! Animation and story 🙌🏽🙌🏽…Isha sacrificing herself and the horror on Jinx’s face. Felt horrible and who knows what she will do next…so emotional…wtf Jacye?!?! Hope more to this than we are lead to believe
‘That which inspires us to do our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil.’
possible spoiler because i know the character from League:
if you know viktor from league you know theres no way hes dead because he hasnt become that version yet (unless they're changing something). Viktor worked with Jayce to help make the world better and now Jayce has hurt Viktor which will be the catalyst for him becoming the version from league.
This line also implies he is going to become his greatest evil self
@@stevenmoyer2718 I wouldn't call in-game Viktor evil. he's still helping marginalized people of Zaun
@@valeriyav2149 idk i feel like forcing people to become machine is pretty evil. They do go back and forth on that though
@@stevenmoyer2718 is he forcing though? most of the time poor people who lost their limbs didn't mind replacing it with functional advanced prosthetics. his whole ideology is questionable but he's not forcing it for the most part. the only time I remember from the lore is when he was keeping people alive but they were basically braindead (which is a parallel they did with the hivemind cult). it was the main conflict between him and Jayce - taking away someone's free will. and of course philosophical differences about humanity and human emotions. so ethically speaking, Viktor is morally gray but he's not like Singed for example
Something strange is definitely going on with Jayce and Victor that we don’t understand yet. Something tells me that Victor was planning his own death. Dude literally could see the past, who’s to say he couldn’t see the future. It also seemed too easy that he would just let Jayce walk in and kill him when he already knew Jayce wasn’t himself. I’m just so lost on what’s actually happening with that. Victor also mentions a “hand in the sky” controlling everything, and throughout the series we keep seeing that wizard holding open his hand. What if that is Victor, that would be a crazy twist.
"everyone wanna destroy the happy place right now.." shockingly way more 'real world' than i think you realized..
The amount of people who posses zero trope literacy and now hate on Jayce is staggering.
It is no wonder so many people fall for cults. How can anyone look at that whole situation, the way Viktor could bodysnatch people, the way everyone's lives depended on him, the way his personality changed, the way he suddenly trusted the Hexcore
And not think something was incredibly off? Especially how everyone screeched and fell like puppets in the end. Crazy.
But It will make it more fun when they see act3, so I am not even mad XD
I already didn't like him. He has always been too easily manipulated. This was the cherry on top. Because he's yet again being controlled.
@@M4dH4tt3rsMus3 you do release that what victor is doing isnt good right?
What Jayce did IMO was try to change the future where Viktor was the evil machine. By killing him he created the future he was trying to prevent. Because Viktor was peaceful.
Little Isha grew close to my heart in such a short amount of time. 💔
"Don't. understimate. Ambessa." Fucking true. No one doubts her capabilities.
On top of that, and what I consider a phenomenal character decision: she listens to all three of Vi's rules for respect.
It shows her character, her understanding, and that she, herself, tries not to underestimate her enemies. She learns. She adapts. And she always renegotiates her position before moving forward. It's how she got to be the ruling family. And it's why she's deemed it a necessity to fund unethical science in order to acquire powers beyond normal means.
While loosing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time.
Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it.
So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness.
You didn't put this video on the playlist. I had to search it . And,thank you very much for this video.
Vander's story in this season is such a metaphor for dementia. Hugs to those who need it.
The void is not your best friend it’s a world ending threat Jayce’s crash out is valid 🤣
When the finale come out and after you guys watch it, if you're interested in learning more about the world as a whole I'd recommend checking out Necrit's videos on what to expect in Riot's mmo since it's the same world setting. Not sure how much of it will remain canon since Riot is currently reworking the lore to be more Arcane compliant but I think they're still worth a watch.
Seeing the hope, healing, and peace Viktor brought to the Undercity, Jinx and Vi consider staying in the community together, Jinx happy with Isha, Jinx and Vi getting their father figure back, Vander getting a second chance with his family, Viktor is happy helping his people with Sky... only for it all to get ripped away again-the healed are dead, Viktor is dead, Vander suffers again, Jinx and Vi lose their dad again, Isha sacrificing herself.
Makes me HATE Jayce, even though I feel he must have been corrupted by the Arcane. But damn, they could have been happy. It hits so hard.
I also love the symbolism between Vi saving Jinx and pulling her away from Isha. Both times in Season 1 Vi tried to go back and save Jinx from Silco only for her to be pulled away both times.
my theory is that during episode 6 everyone is stuck in the singularity. in the intro victor takes chaos in his hand and put it in his eye. i think he’s seeing multiple realities. the whole episode feels like a dream. i think the arcane is affecting the real world and everything is not what it seems. everything is replicating
Ekko has time manipulation abilities, hence the name. also the loop of the gear falling in the beginning of the episode and later on a couple times as well leads me to believe ( him & dinger) are doing or going to do some time travel loop stuff
Been waiting for this one.
The way they showed the end at the beginning
And her speech when they were training at the beginning is kinda just saying what happened in the episode
“Lava in veins”, “sacrifice”
As sad as this is, this is a stark contrast to the events that unfolded in S1E3. Jinx found absolution for her past deeds through Isha. She empowered her with the courage to make that sacrifice for her loved ones.
Jinx turned Isha into a hero. That can’t be in vain, and I think Ekko will remind her of that when he returns.
The soundtrack sounds so good this season.
I'm beyond terrified for next Saturday. 💜
Coming to your reactions late, but...
By the end of this episode I had a headache from crying so much. That's a first for me.
So far, episode 6 of season 2 is rated the best in the history of this series, but there are still 3 episodes ahead of us
*I am going to enjoy the EF out of the moment where Jayce gets subtracted from the equation of Life!!!*
As a League of Legends player and world history expert, I predicted a lot.
Isha the best daughter for Jinx 😭❤️
Jinx the best mom for Isha 😭❤️
Isha sacrifice for mom Jinx 😭❤️
Broke my heart 😭❤️
I think what hurts is that Isha is defiantly the kid that is trying to be just like there parents or older siblings not truly realizing the consequences or risk they go through they just wanna be like the one they love
So I bet when Jinx saw Isha putting in the two hextech orbs she saw her own accident that got her family killed all over again, realizing the danger she's in
"A singularity simultaneously self-replicating and self-annihilating" - pretty much the theme of the whole show, all these relationships that turn destructive but then spawn new ones:
In Zaun we have Vander and Silco's relationship turns destructive after Vi's mums death but out of that we get Vander, Vi and Powder.
Vi and Powder's relationship turns destructive after Vanders death but out of that we get Silco and Jinx, Vi and Caitlyn.
Silco and Jinx break and she goes off with Sevika and Isha, Vi and Caitlyn break and Ciatlyn goes off with that other one.
In Piltover we have the same with Heimedinger and Revnik leading to Victor and Revnik, which leads to Victor and Jace/Heimedinger and Echo.
Its Isha tearing up right before the sacrifice that gets me.
Honestly shocked at how a animated show is making me cry in my 30’s! This shit is amazing don’t make me wait another three years after the finale plz Netflix!!!
It has so many layers because Yes, Viktor had a vision and it was gone forth in his way only. He is the sole identity of the people. Hive Mind. Although it seemed he has genuine love for humanity as paradoxical as it is with the way it turned out. The paradox being, all these people losing their identities to a cult hive mind where as you see Vander rapidly GAINING his. Progressing throughout the episode from feral behaviours to standing up right, acknowledging his daughters to even speaking. The writing about the Arcane is so interesting. It could be debated on for hours. Two sides of the same coin could be a metaphor for so much in the episode
The soundtracks in this season are unbeatable
Many people missed it, but in episode 4 when sevika ran away with Isha while jinx fought Warwick, Isha says "mama"
every time I hear Viktor say glorious evolution it just gets creepier and creepier.
When you know the characters this show is so hard to watch because they make you love everyone in their own way but (assuming they’re trying to be somewhat accurate to the characters in game) you know what they become already so it’s so emotional and sad to see the journey. Im so scared to see if they turn Viktor into what he is in the game.
Jayce looks like the guy that teleported him away when he was a young boy in the very beginning of the first episode of season 1 !!! some time of time travel BS is going to happen!
I’ve been watching this series one episode at a time just one every day or two. I don’t want it to end so I’m going really really slow…. Waited so long for this series to drop and now I know it’s also over in 3 episodes 😢
are we al watching the same show why do people think that what victor is doing is good?
I mean it's pretty obvious from the whole thing we were seeing but sure we are all blind 😐
