The last part involving Jinx might just be a nod to his sense of smell. He implies that he knew she was there despite not having memory of her actually being there. It doesn't really perfectly work with the series but I believe its the idea they were going for.
@@MokiNS1 i mean technically this isn't a "spoiler" because it hasn't happened yet and is speculation. This is also for league players mostly and it's hinted at so much in the show it's almost like they really desperately want the viewer to know so its also hard to call it one in that respect. If you don't play league you might not even know who Warwick is so what does it matter.
The first time I see Vander, my first thought is he looks like someone who will turn into a werewolf because of his design even though I haven't played the game I know there's werewolf hero in the game
There is a video by Necrit where he discover every little detail in Arcane , and in Act 3 , the part after Jinx launch the rocket there was a scene where Singed is at the lab while you can see a little bit of claw right on the corner , and i think that must be vander
Season 2 teaser has warwick howls so yes, it's practically official: Vander IS Warwick. we will see him for sure, Singed and Viktor transformation and Ekko completing his Z-drive with the help of heimerdinger.
I thought it was very interesting as well when I noticed, but the song that plays during that scene has a lyric "..didn't matter what invention you made me..". I'm very much anticipating what's to come in the next season.
The "Let me forget" line comes into the only thing Warwick in the lore can remember. He remembers a girl screaming. Screaming what sounded like a name. And his lore states he wants to forget that girl as that's all he remembers. When Vander dies and Vi abandons Powder by his body, Powder sits there screaming Vi's name at her. "Violet!"
@@syriansayf There are other things as well, such as the scar Warwick has above his eye. Again in the scene where Vander dies, you can see a cut above his left (?) eye, where the scar on WW is.
@@samantharoberts2053 I see that, I assumed he accidentally scratched his own face soon after transformation because he wasn't aware yet. Again, very sharp insight!
I’m curious. Vi and Jinx were added to the game over a decade ago. Did Warwick have these lines all along or did they add them after Arcane? Like, I saw another one where Ekko called Jinx Powder. Was that always there or did they add it after Arcane? 🤔
I never played league of legend. Do you recommend it to a new player who knows nothing? I'm getting a gaming laptop soon and I wonder if I should play it or not
@@aakrami8615 that’s….. a rough question. Everyone and their mothers will say “no”due to its notorious toxicity, but at the same time there’s a reason it has a massive playerbase. I say it’s free, it’s fun with friends, just whatever you do don’t play ranked games to avoid the bulk of the toxicity
@@onirofobia Vander was an important piece of their lives, but that's understandable. We should at least get confirmation rather than just implications.
@@direkomedy I mean, there was a lot a of hints! And look at all the people saying "Vander is Warwick". I think it's pretty much confirmed. Also, remember Warwick changed his name in the lore and we don't know his other name
Am I the only person genuinely shocked by that Powder “rescue”?! At first I was like, “Oh hell yeah! She can finally do something right!” but as it unfolded I was just staring in absolute horror. Such amazing storytelling and so fucking sad.
If Arcane ends with a bleeding Silco escaping into the alleys of Zaun, only to hear the familiar howl and 'Warwick is hunting you' sound effect, I will be immeasurably happy.
@@mickaelht598 Jhin is a theater boy who grew up to become a mass murder. He is obsessed with art and the number 4. I highly highly HIGHLY doubt silco is Jhin. It doesn’t help that Jhin later on comes to Zaun and starts killing people there too. That doesn’t sound like silco at all.
In the season finale when Vi said “remember Vander!” and Powder visualized him if you pause it at the right moment where her memory of him gets distorted you can see the purple outline looking very close to Warwick. They are definitely heavily imply in the most subtle ways that Vander becomes Warwick
"Warwick struggled to recall a single memory from his past... All he could see was blood. But then he heard a little girl screaming. Screaming something he couldn’t understand. It sounded like a name." Powder, screaming Vi's name after she's left alone and heartbroken in the alley where Vander "dies".
In WW's bio, he remembers only blood and little girl's scream, it's a moment when Jinx cries and calls Vi. And when he was dying, he only saw Vi's face covered by blood
I don't believe he heard Powder screaming before the explosion, because he was in the room with the boys, and after the explosion, Powder fell down, on the ground, she could not even see anything happening inside. However, there is a moment when Powder was screaming and calling for Vi when she left, and that was happening right near Vander's body outside. Which means he was not completely dead and that would explain how he would survive to become Warwick.
@@AlexanderSir maybe his body was later retrieved by Signed who then experimented on him, Vander's body was tough because of the purple chem, it allows signed to continue doing his experiment until he finishes it until Vander dies and is thrown into trash
@@k4dow in wws lor stands he rembers a bearded man a bloody knife and scars on his arm and a littel kid screaming. Vander has a beard. Silco cut him with a knif on the arm Vi screamed when he died
The icing on the cake. The first paragraph of WW bio "Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. Bursting out of the shadows, he preys upon those criminals who terrorize the city’s depths." "Though many think of Warwick as no more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past." Singed made WW from Vander for sure
So ww kills criminals? He doesnt just kill everyone he sees? That means ww has much more control of his body than i thought, than maxbe again, singed could be the one controlling his actions
@@ok4350 after he died by the hand of Singed he was dumped to rot. Only after his death the pumps began again and transformed him in what we see now. So I doubt that anyone controls him anymore.
The wolf growls when he was dosed up with shimmer is the strongest evidence to me. I think Vander being hinted as Warwick as an end scene for this first Arcane story would be a great cliffhanger.
ok cool, I was a little skeptical that Vander would be Warwick since his release was so long ago but if arcane was being written at the same time Vander is definitely ww
@@danielkang1560 yeah arcane is a project of 7 year man! That's why people are a little bit worried about the other riot series! They wont have the same amount of time
@@LuisHSK They have said the initial start was mostly gathering animators and people that can actually produce a show of this caliber. So since they have the groundwork, they can hit the ground running and make much more stuff. They even said they would aim for the big screen in the future, so maybe they'll even have more teams working on different projects.
Also take a look at Vander's right arm, the one silco slashed Now take a look at warwicks right arm, the weaker one that broke and needed a claw to be surgically attached???
Warwick's title is the, Uncaged Wrath of Zaun. The lanes wanted Vander to unleash his wrath upon their enemies, but he didn't. Knowing that it would lead to more violence. If Warwick is Vander, then it's going to he such poetic justice. A reference to the old saying, be careful what you wish for. Now, Warwick terrorizes Zaun because his wrath is now uncaged.
Warwick's taunts to Singed are "I remember what you did!" and "Zaun gave me claws long before you did." meaning he's the one who saved him To Jinx "You were there... " and "Let me forget... ", her voice being the only memory he still has. To Vi "The fear in your eyes. I've seen it before." (the fear he saw in her eyes when he "died" , "Zaun needed you!" (when she left for Piltover) and the most important one, the taunt that is ironically a joke to himself, "Who taught you how to punch?". Pretty damn badass!!!!
"saved him" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Singed put Vander through the worst, most inhumane and agonizing form of torture you could think of just to turn him into a complete monster filled with unending rage and bloodlust, troubled by crippling amnesia and only being able to remember scattered fragments of his past on occasion, just for the sake of research and experimentation. But yeah you're right besides that lol.
My head cannon is that “Zaun needed you” referred to the resistance the people tried to put against Silco while Vi was in prison, they needed her as a substitute for vander. Ekko needed her, the people needed her.
This is by far the most interesting points I've ever written on this. Still doesn't mean he is 100% WW, but pretty damn close. Now the real question is, how did Singed get ahold of him and why...
Ww says "i ran these streets" which implies the past so its 100% vander. And i fckin knew it since i saw him... he gave me ww vibes with his wolverine hairstyle and aura
@@denismorosanu855 Fr. Episode 1 I asked my fiance if he got Warwick vibes from Vander, because I definitely did. By episode 3, just, if Vander isn't Warwick Riot has failed us.
@@amberwilloughby2720 the moment I saw him with the gloves/knuckledusters in the trailer I knew Vander was WW. Big tough man, but with an air of nobility to him. Moved assertively. Fought using knuckledusters which are the closest thing we saw to mechanized claws. It just made sense to me
Wrong cause he says you abandoned zaun when Vander couldn't know that he died before knowing anything about vi leaving jinx. And when Warwick is made he doesn't remeber anything that happened while he was being tortured by singed u think singed gave him a tv saying vis missing on it n zuan the only one with that info is silco. So silco could be ww
@@phantome12345 I see your point but we first memory from his time of a human is a girl crying and screaming a name and blood Silco had not blood on him, you also can forget the strength that ww has yes Signed could make Silco have that but I don’t think Silco would make Signed very interested in him as a test subject. Another hint that Vander could be ww is that you can hear a little bit of ww theme it’s his blood hunt it very small but you can hear it. However I like you idea it can be both.
also when warwick says "I ran these streets" it could be referring to how Vander was the one everyone looked up to in the undercity and essentially "ran the streets" by being their leader
@@Intoxicatedmeta mundo was a Jolly man who screwed up with a chem baron. chem barons don't exist yet in that particular time period, after hextech makes a launch, hextech is used for chemtech to make its debut. with chemtech comes the barons.
"The fear in your eyes, I've seen it before" This line actually refers to the clip at 2:21. Since WW's memories are all from his final moments as Vander under the effects of shimmer. So he is unknowingly recalling the moment where Vi was afraid of what she saw he had become after taking shimmer. All of WW's lines are usually something he says as he is hunting someone or going to kill them. This line in particular is almost like he is stopping himself from killing someone in the moment because he recalls a fragmented/incomplete version of a memory.
Honestly I thought it was some random thug that was experimented on and turned to ww. Now I want ww to regain all his memories :( Gotta feel bad for vander man
@@shrungdn7379 yeah I think it has to be Vander. Riot's done a pretty decent job of setting, then meeting expectations with the show. Too many pieces point to Vander being WW. Just the fact that WW's theme music plays 1 time in the entirety of the show, and it happens to be when Vander is in frame, and you hear Silco saying something like "I'll show you what you really are", is enough evidence for me. Idk if you watched Hunter x Hunter, but the whole situation kind of gives me Kite vibes. Sad situation for sure brother man ):
@@josephsalem761 nope haven't watched HxH. If you don't mind, when exactly does ww's theme play? I think I missed a part or two while searching. Let's just hope that he gets a happy ending and they modify ww's lore a bit.
@@shrungdn7379 I think the dark and sad lore of WW is what makes his character so appealing. I actually like the direction it seems to be going. I am pretty sure they will give us some reunion where WW will either save vi, then disappear into the darkness of the night, or be face to face with her and make the choice not to kill Vi. Something long those lines seems plausible. Needless to say I am waiting for season 2 as patiently as a heroin junky waits for his next fix 😂😂
I think "The fear in your eyes, Ive seen it before" is talking about 2:22 Vander comes to save Vi to find her absolutley horrified of him, which was the first step to his warwick arc.
1:36 I think he means when he was lying on the ground at the end and jinx was crying and screaming Vi's name, since in Warwicks bio that the last thing he remembers is a little girl screaming out a name.
@@joshshaye1085 he never actually died. The serum is incomplete and he fell down in a box of serums it's either some serum entered his body through wounds and if he only drank 1.
@@Tarek-ys5rr although singed got caught up in the explosion with the fumes and flames of the serum, we know now how he become the singed the we knew. Maybe he first augmented his body then Vander's i guess.
The last line just confirmes it my dudes “I ran these streets, now it's your time to run“ Basically a foreshadow to Vander being a leader of undercity and Last Drop.
@@tslex6477Naw. Warwick was already strung up on the ceiling of Singe's lab by the end of episode 9, and Silco was only JUST killed by Jinx (it was shown as she was firing the rocket, I belive). So it's not possible for it to be Silco.
Just read warwick's lore and it totally makes sense Though many think of Warwick as no more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past. Memories of that time come to Warwick in flashes before they’re inevitably lost, replaced by searing echoes of the days he spent strapped to a table in Singed’s lab, the mad chemist’s face looming above him. His world a haze of pain, Warwick could not recall how he fell into Singed’s grasp… and even struggled to remember a time before the suffering began. The scientist patiently carved into him, installing pumps and hoses to inject chemicals into his veins, seeking what an alchemist always seeks: transmutation. Singed would reveal his subject’s true nature-the deadly beast hidden within a “good man.”
@@1SSJA Singed is the scientist from silcos gang. The one bald dude that created the purple drug. Also Singed was the dude that gave the rat the purple drink. Btw the rat is going to be Twitch it seems.
@@wass77 yup thats singed you can see it in the cast as well as in the subtitles. Also in the end you see him get lit up in flames so he'll prob wear a mask and the lab rat might be twitch.
Also, remember that Silco said "I will show you who you really are" to Vander, and WW's lore says that he is one of Singed's experiments meant to bring about the beast that lies within a good man.
Act 3 Spoilers: When Ww says ‘you were there’ & ‘let me forget’ it most likely is referencing when Jinx was being experimented on, being how torturous the experimentation was for ww. Also, episode 9. When Jinx was hallucinating with Mylo, Clagore, & Vander. She saw Vander as a wolf, this was after her experimentation in singed’s lab where she possibly saw ww while on the chair being experimented on.
@@Hey-dn6kgit starts at 31:50 on episode 9. Whereas Mylo and Clagores ‘Demons’ seem to mimic their human counterparts, Vander has more wolf like features.
Don't know much about Warwick, but everything points to Vander being him in my eyes. The growling, the "Hound of the Underground", even his design looks very wolf-like to me. Resembling a lot of other characters in fiction that have something to do with wolves (it's the beard and the hair. It's always the beard and the hair). These choices aren't made for no reason. He's either Warwick or people had a damn good reason to think he is. I do hope he is. I miss Vander.
He is 1000%, 1000000% Warwick and it's not even a theory anymore. There's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more to it than this video shows. Anyone who says otherwise is blatantly being willfully ignorant trust me.
the fear in her eyes are actually multiple instances remember hebasically raised her when he picked them up on the bridge when vi looked at him as he was dying there in that scene during the time vi was scared shitless between because she didnt know what she was supposed to do the moment vi tried to sell herself out and he came to get her im pretty sure he has seen her so much that he just knows the face she makes, even if he forgets everything else
@@hrothroyal2295 the more i think about it and the more ppltalk about it the more things come together that kinda scream he is warwick IF he turns out to be thats fking amazing
another one, a better audioclip to identify just how similiar his voice is to warwick right after the one you showed when he screams silcos name, and when he went for vi those snarles are identical
Also take a look at Vander's right arm, the one silco slashed Now take a look at warwicks right arm, the weaker one that broke and needed a claw to be surgically attached???
It is also very suspicious that reworked Warwick's VA is still unknown. I know there still are VAs in League that are not known but hearing Vander's screams compared to Warwick is very similar if Warwick is voiced by JB Blanc who we know also voiced other champions.
@Nina Tote you likely won't see Swain in the show. It's a quote from the game in a specific interaction with Warwick (the character that Vander will most likely become).
The things we know about warwick: He was a retired gangster , that eventually ran the streets under a new name , had kids, no mention of a wife or a woman in his life tho so the gits are adopted , he was a kind and good men with "a beast inside" that Silco literally told him and his last memory before everything turning black is a small girl screaming out a name while crying (Little Jinx screaming Vi after she leaves her). If he doesn't become Warwick by the third batch of episodes Im going to be really upset cause the characteristics is exactly the same and it would be a gigantic missed opurtunity.
actually the screaming a name part was smt like "she was screaming something, it seems like her name" so I think it would have been Powder screaming about how Vi told her she was a "jinx", therefore the "Jinx" nickname
you can see singed doing an experimentation on someone who is hanging that looks like a wolfman (high chance that it’s vander) in the ending of episode 9 of arcane, warwick on season 2 I bet 😳
Swain actually told warwick jinx was there Swain:She's closer then you realised Swain collect soul fragment jinx: Faces fading in the flames... It was her fault Fiddlesticks:ALL YOUR FAULT
I'm convinced that while we may not see Swain at all in Arcane, every raven that shows up and has the camera deliberately focus on it wven for a couple of seconds, is one of Swain's spies. Even the one Jinx shoots.
@@jackthompson7546 no, silco as far as we know has no magic or the like so he'd have no way of controlling crows. It's either symbolic or one of Swain's spies.
"Blood is always so hard to scrub out of iron" Vander, commenting about his iron gauntlets. I'd like to assume this is also a small reference of sorts to ww's claws and the blood he uses to track people after slashing them, or they when they get cut
@@bdgandalfow2776 bro u must've missed it then, literally the conversation he was having with the piltover guard who had the body shape of a string bean when they were looking for the kids in the basement, and he talks about not wanting to bring back out the gauntlets which he points out are hanging on the ceiling because, and I quote "bloodstains are hard to get out of iron"
1:36 Regarding this line, it’s possible that after Jinx was revived she witnessed the unconscious Vander who was in the process of becoming Warwick, even before as it seems like she knows Singed, referring to him as “the doctor” during Progress Day. Another hint to this theory is that during the scene where she pulls out the flare, we see Mylo and Claggor’s corpses but never Vander’s corpse at all so it’s possible that she knows that he’s still alive. Hell, he’s even depicted as a wolf in her hallucinations during the tea party.
Read Warwick’s lore. It says “buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life.” Sounds like Vander to me.
"You were there..." probably refers to either Powder collapsing at his body after the bomb, or Jinx being in Singed's lab when she got her shimmer infusion. Reminder that we see Warwick's body already there at the end of season one.
when vander got up from the explosion to fight silco he saw the monkeybomb head on the floor so i think he knows it was powder who blew it up it even had the jinx style graffiti on it
I read a lore, before Warwick became warwick the last thing he remembers was blood and a voice of a screaming girl. In episode 3, when Vi left Powder beside dead Vander, Powder screamed until Silco and friends approached her.
@@Jojowrryyyy Jayce didn't fuck it up. No matter what would happen, Vander gonna be lost entirely to Warwick's mindset. If not because of Victor's death by his sacrifice, Jayce or the army, then because of Singed's mixture.
@@JojowrryyyyJayce made the right decision. Victor was on some dark magic thing,when every of his people die alongside him. He was becoming a Monster,a false prophet.
One thing people seem to miss is the quote "I became the monster I always was" from Warwick. Vander tried to drown Silco and has all this wrath is trapped inside him just waiting to be unbound. He was still trying to forget what he did, likely considering himself a monster in act 1 like he calls himself later as Warwick.
Also take a look at Vander's right arm, the one silco slashed Now take a look at warwicks right arm, the weaker one that broke and needed a claw to be surgically attached???
In lore, singed turns a human being into a werewolf so im guessing thats probably Vander also he performs cruel experiments on warwick attaches tubes of chemicals on his back and replaces his arm with a mechanical arm, all in while warwick was alive and he would pass out again and again from the pain
feelsbad i really wanted vander to be a character for the entire show what an absolute sigma gigaChad beautiful man and character he was. Not to mention the absolute perfect voice acting. whoever his VA is god damn you have such a perfect voice and perfect delivery/talent/skill for these types of characters.
Not to mention during the last fight for vander, they showed him using iron knuckles as his weapon which is the closest and most believable weapon that is similar to warwicks claws
I think the "You were there" will refer to fture events where Silco and Singed will experiment on him while Jinx is there because Silco took her in his gang for now.
That's actually make sense! Because, the way he say it, sounds like he is really mad at her, but he feels the connection between her to the fact that he raised Jinx but cannot fully remember it. It's sounds like he is angry and disappointed at the same time. In addition, he will not be mad if he is just talking about the fact that the explosions was caused by jinx because he will surely understand, that Jinx is just trying to help that night.
@@bulbulitobayagbagan9633 I don't know if he sounded moreangry than he sounds on every other line. He sounds angry even when talking to Vi, so thats probably just the way his voice is.
@@nooneatall5612 Of course he is angry, he feels so much pain that's what his lore is. What I meant was that he remember Jinx watching him suffer (to the fact that silco "adopted" her) while not doing anything, so he feel angry in a sense of he feels betrayed because he does not fully remember her who she was.
While Warwick was reworked, there was a series of Singe's journal entries posted about a man he was experimenting on with an illustration showing his subject hanging from the ceiling of his lab. The man on the ceiling is obscured but has plenty of similarities to Vander. There's another story that was posted with Warwick's update that contains his scattered thoughts and memories in which he occasionally describes two girls who are undoubtedly Vi and Jinx.
This is so good! But I think the time he saw fear in her eyes is when she first saw him juiced up on the purple stuff, looking like a monster. He freaked out when he saw her face and started howling in episode 3.
Here's the link to the Follow up because i'm a Dumbass! : th-cam.com/video/5yZmeTv0K4w/w-d-xo.html
The last part involving Jinx might just be a nod to his sense of smell. He implies that he knew she was there despite not having memory of her actually being there. It doesn't really perfectly work with the series but I believe its the idea they were going for.

How old are you
In the season finale when Vi said “remember Vander!” and Powder visualized him if you pause it at the right moment where her memory of him gets distorted you can see the purple outline looking very close to Warwick. They are definitely heavily imply in the most subtle ways that Vander becomes Warwick
I also notice that while watching clips here on yt. Didn't notice it while watching the show tho.
I was litteraly wondering "who tf is that wolf"😂 thx for the explanation
You beat me by 8 days lol
can i ask for the clip link
@@Yao_shi4 spoiler alert but you can look up “Jinx Tea Party” and it’ll show up
"Warwick struggled to recall a single memory from his past... All he could see was blood. But then he heard a little girl screaming. Screaming something he couldn’t understand. It sounded like a name."
Powder, screaming Vi's name after she's left alone and heartbroken in the alley where Vander "dies".
Was about to comment this, have a like
That fact breaks my fucking heart and soul
I just commented this, then i approached this comment lol
THIS
This one is to make people see this comment.
In WW's bio, he remembers only blood and little girl's scream, it's a moment when Jinx cries and calls Vi. And when he was dying, he only saw Vi's face covered by blood
also he has flashbacks of an old blade covered in blood => silco's knife
maybe is foreshowing Macus and his daughter.
I don't believe he heard Powder screaming before the explosion, because he was in the room with the boys, and after the explosion, Powder fell down, on the ground, she could not even see anything happening inside.
However, there is a moment when Powder was screaming and calling for Vi when she left, and that was happening right near Vander's body outside. Which means he was not completely dead and that would explain how he would survive to become Warwick.
@@AlexanderSir maybe his body was later retrieved by Signed who then experimented on him, Vander's body was tough because of the purple chem, it allows signed to continue doing his experiment until he finishes it until Vander dies and is thrown into trash
@@k4dow in wws lor stands he rembers a bearded man a bloody knife and scars on his arm and a littel kid screaming.
Vander has a beard. Silco cut him with a knif on the arm
Vi screamed when he died
The icing on the cake. The first paragraph of WW bio "Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. Bursting out of the shadows, he preys upon those criminals who terrorize the city’s depths." "Though many think of Warwick as no more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past."
Singed made WW from Vander for sure
Me reading this :
Oh.
Oooh.
Oh noo.
Ooooooooh no.
Oh n-
Oh god.
Damn, that's not even subtle.
So ww kills criminals? He doesnt just kill everyone he sees? That means ww has much more control of his body than i thought, than maxbe again, singed could be the one controlling his actions
@@ok4350 after he died by the hand of Singed he was dumped to rot. Only after his death the pumps began again and transformed him in what we see now. So I doubt that anyone controls him anymore.
@@ok4350 he usually hunts criminals, but when he smells blood, he loses control and kills indiscriminately
The wolf growls when he was dosed up with shimmer is the strongest evidence to me. I think Vander being hinted as Warwick as an end scene for this first Arcane story would be a great cliffhanger.
It’s the music too that’s a hint for me as he’s being dragged away
That just happened
So you wish it, so shall it be.

Guys, just remember, the WarWick rework was made when Arcane was being written, so yeah Its 99% chance that vander is warwick!

@@FlutterSwag Man, good catch bro.
@@FlutterSwag :o nice thought
Warwick's title is the, Uncaged Wrath of Zaun. The lanes wanted Vander to unleash his wrath upon their enemies, but he didn't. Knowing that it would lead to more violence. If Warwick is Vander, then it's going to he such poetic justice. A reference to the old saying, be careful what you wish for. Now, Warwick terrorizes Zaun because his wrath is now uncaged.
"The people who cried wolf"
@@Sheoll6 *Gives each person in Zaun a tissue box*
Warwick in Zaun only hunts those with blood on their hands. Atleast when he can help it.
@@tex4096 sad thing is, he mostly can't help it. The smell of blood makes him go beserk
So you can probably say that Vander himself was literally the chains for Warwick
Warwick's taunts to Singed are "I remember what you did!" and "Zaun gave me claws long before you did." meaning he's the one who saved him
To Jinx "You were there... " and "Let me forget... ", her voice being the only memory he still has.
To Vi "The fear in your eyes. I've seen it before." (the fear he saw in her eyes when he "died" , "Zaun needed you!" (when she left for Piltover) and the most important one, the taunt that is ironically a joke to himself, "Who taught you how to punch?". Pretty damn badass!!!!

Singed put Vander through the worst, most inhumane and agonizing form of torture you could think of just to turn him into a complete monster filled with unending rage and bloodlust, troubled by crippling amnesia and only being able to remember scattered fragments of his past on occasion, just for the sake of research and experimentation.
But yeah you're right besides that lol.
My head cannon is that “Zaun needed you” referred to the resistance the people tried to put against Silco while Vi was in prison, they needed her as a substitute for vander. Ekko needed her, the people needed her.
This is by far the most interesting points I've ever written on this. Still doesn't mean he is 100% WW, but pretty damn close. Now the real question is, how did Singed get ahold of him and why...
@@marialeleeh3728 that's interesting!! i read it as her becoming an enforcer instead of fighting on the side of zaun

also vander :"i run these streets"
also vi to vander:"we run these streets"

@@amberwilloughby2720 the moment I saw him with the gloves/knuckledusters in the trailer I knew Vander was WW. Big tough man, but with an air of nobility to him. Moved assertively. Fought using knuckledusters which are the closest thing we saw to mechanized claws. It just made sense to me
@@amberwilloughby2720 definitely, really hope he’s warwick
Vander and Warwick in a nutshell: "Oh Yeah, It's All Coming Together."
Is that “ oh yeah it’s all coming together” a reference to emperor’s new groove.
More like: "oh no... it's all coming together..."
On the other hand, the entire series soo far feels like that
Bro do you say this in every league video?
Wrong cause he says you abandoned zaun when Vander couldn't know that he died before knowing anything about vi leaving jinx. And when Warwick is made he doesn't remeber anything that happened while he was being tortured by singed u think singed gave him a tv saying vis missing on it n zuan the only one with that info is silco. So silco could be ww
@@phantome12345 I see your point but we first memory from his time of a human is a girl crying and screaming a name and blood Silco had not blood on him, you also can forget the strength that ww has yes Signed could make Silco have that but I don’t think Silco would make Signed very interested in him as a test subject. Another hint that Vander could be ww is that you can hear a little bit of ww theme it’s his blood hunt it very small but you can hear it. However I like you idea it can be both.
also when warwick says "I ran these streets" it could be referring to how Vander was the one everyone looked up to in the undercity and essentially "ran the streets" by being their leader

If it isnt Vander then it's just Gotham all over again with Jerome not being the Joker, etc. Itll be bs
@@sunayshastri Yes, and that's vander a former gangster who was trying to reform...
"The fear in your eyes, I've seen it before"
This line actually refers to the clip at 2:21. Since WW's memories are all from his final moments as Vander under the effects of shimmer. So he is unknowingly recalling the moment where Vi was afraid of what she saw he had become after taking shimmer. All of WW's lines are usually something he says as he is hunting someone or going to kill them. This line in particular is almost like he is stopping himself from killing someone in the moment because he recalls a fragmented/incomplete version of a memory.
Honestly I thought it was some random thug that was experimented on and turned to ww. Now I want ww to regain all his memories :( Gotta feel bad for vander man
@@shrungdn7379 yeah I think it has to be Vander. Riot's done a pretty decent job of setting, then meeting expectations with the show. Too many pieces point to Vander being WW. Just the fact that WW's theme music plays 1 time in the entirety of the show, and it happens to be when Vander is in frame, and you hear Silco saying something like "I'll show you what you really are", is enough evidence for me. Idk if you watched Hunter x Hunter, but the whole situation kind of gives me Kite vibes. Sad situation for sure brother man ):
@@josephsalem761 nope haven't watched HxH. If you don't mind, when exactly does ww's theme play? I think I missed a part or two while searching. Let's just hope that he gets a happy ending and they modify ww's lore a bit.
Ahh nvm I found it. Sent chills down my spine
@@shrungdn7379 I think the dark and sad lore of WW is what makes his character so appealing. I actually like the direction it seems to be going. I am pretty sure they will give us some reunion where WW will either save vi, then disappear into the darkness of the night, or be face to face with her and make the choice not to kill Vi. Something long those lines seems plausible. Needless to say I am waiting for season 2 as patiently as a heroin junky waits for his next fix 😂😂
I think "The fear in your eyes, Ive seen it before" is talking about 2:22 Vander comes to save Vi to find her absolutley horrified of him, which was the first step to his warwick arc.
Yep
exactly
This is definitely the case
So many people skip this part to be the case... Good stuff
Wait you are right...Vi looks afraid that time..never saw before Vi scared to something other than that scene
1:36 I think he means when he was lying on the ground at the end and jinx was crying and screaming Vi's name, since in Warwicks bio that the last thing he remembers is a little girl screaming out a name.
This is the biggest clue for me
but he died? (the glowing veins shows his lifetime)
@@joshshaye1085 he never actually died. The serum is incomplete and he fell down in a box of serums it's either some serum entered his body through wounds and if he only drank 1.
@@skdonniee singed lost all his research after the explosion, guess vander will be his new guinea pig thus warwick will be made
@@Tarek-ys5rr although singed got caught up in the explosion with the fumes and flames of the serum, we know now how he become the singed the we knew. Maybe he first augmented his body then Vander's i guess.
He’s referred to as the “hound of the underground” that was all the foreshadowing needed for me
The last line just confirmes it my dudes “I ran these streets, now it's your time to run“
Basically a foreshadow to Vander being a leader of undercity and Last Drop.
It's actually goes as well with silco. Is there any possibilities for silco being warwick?
@@tslex6477Naw. Warwick was already strung up on the ceiling of Singe's lab by the end of episode 9, and Silco was only JUST killed by Jinx (it was shown as she was firing the rocket, I belive). So it's not possible for it to be Silco.
@@DLxxxoh Vander REALLY is Warwick,that creature with claws seems to have his beard that IS vander
Just read warwick's lore and it totally makes sense
Though many think of Warwick as no more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past.
Memories of that time come to Warwick in flashes before they’re inevitably lost, replaced by searing echoes of the days he spent strapped to a table in Singed’s lab, the mad chemist’s face looming above him.
His world a haze of pain, Warwick could not recall how he fell into Singed’s grasp… and even struggled to remember a time before the suffering began. The scientist patiently carved into him, installing pumps and hoses to inject chemicals into his veins, seeking what an alchemist always seeks: transmutation.
Singed would reveal his subject’s true nature-the deadly beast hidden within a “good man.”
So is silco singed? I thought singed was noxian but I guessed not
@@1SSJA Singed is the scientist from silcos gang. The one bald dude that created the purple drug. Also Singed was the dude that gave the rat the purple drink. Btw the rat is going to be Twitch it seems.
@@wass77 yup thats singed you can see it in the cast as well as in the subtitles. Also in the end you see him get lit up in flames so he'll prob wear a mask and the lab rat might be twitch.
@@solaireofastora8861 that rat is twitch?!! oooh thats very interesting thank you for info on singed too ^^
Also, remember that Silco said "I will show you who you really are" to Vander, and WW's lore says that he is one of Singed's experiments meant to bring about the beast that lies within a good man.
Act 3 Spoilers:
When Ww says ‘you were there’ & ‘let me forget’ it most likely is referencing when Jinx was being experimented on, being how torturous the experimentation was for ww.
Also, episode 9. When Jinx was hallucinating with Mylo, Clagore, & Vander. She saw Vander as a wolf, this was after her experimentation in singed’s lab where she possibly saw ww while on the chair being experimented on.
Do you know the minute?
@@Hey-dn6kgit starts at 31:50 on episode 9.
Whereas Mylo and Clagores ‘Demons’ seem to mimic their human counterparts, Vander has more wolf like features.
other people remembering this makes me really happy for this community.

Well… this aged “gracefully” 💀
Don't know much about Warwick, but everything points to Vander being him in my eyes. The growling, the "Hound of the Underground", even his design looks very wolf-like to me. Resembling a lot of other characters in fiction that have something to do with wolves (it's the beard and the hair. It's always the beard and the hair). These choices aren't made for no reason. He's either Warwick or people had a damn good reason to think he is.
I do hope he is. I miss Vander.
Vander is literally the most werewolf looking man in fiction.
He is 1000%, 1000000% Warwick and it's not even a theory anymore. There's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more to it than this video shows. Anyone who says otherwise is blatantly being willfully ignorant trust me.
well now its confirmed that he is :)

The things we know about warwick:
He was a retired gangster , that eventually ran the streets under a new name , had kids, no mention of a wife or a woman in his life tho so the gits are adopted , he was a kind and good men with "a beast inside" that Silco literally told him and his last memory before everything turning black is a small girl screaming out a name while crying (Little Jinx screaming Vi after she leaves her). If he doesn't become Warwick by the third batch of episodes Im going to be really upset cause the characteristics is exactly the same and it would be a gigantic missed opurtunity.
if they don't do it by this season maybe we'll be lucky and there's a second season where they will do it.
actually the screaming a name part was smt like "she was screaming something, it seems like her name" so I think it would have been Powder screaming about how Vi told her she was a "jinx", therefore the "Jinx" nickname
Missed opportunity? You think all this is a coincidence? riot know what they're doing its all planned.

1:36 Regarding this line, it’s possible that after Jinx was revived she witnessed the unconscious Vander who was in the process of becoming Warwick, even before as it seems like she knows Singed, referring to him as “the doctor” during Progress Day. Another hint to this theory is that during the scene where she pulls out the flare, we see Mylo and Claggor’s corpses but never Vander’s corpse at all so it’s possible that she knows that he’s still alive. Hell, he’s even depicted as a wolf in her hallucinations during the tea party.
This aged well
I came from the future to tell you your prediction was correct
Read Warwick’s lore. It says “buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life.” Sounds like Vander to me.
This actually predicted it bro. Good job
THEY CALLED HIM CRAZY
"You were there..." probably refers to either Powder collapsing at his body after the bomb, or Jinx being in Singed's lab when she got her shimmer infusion. Reminder that we see Warwick's body already there at the end of season one.
when vander got up from the explosion to fight silco he saw the monkeybomb head on the floor so i think he knows it was powder who blew it up it even had the jinx style graffiti on it
It is He is talking about singes workshop he jinx there and she saw him too they both have lines talking about forgetting it
Anybody saying he had vision: He's not blind, it was clear as day.
So who’s here after that Season 2 trailer dropped?
you were right it crazy people were denying this theory
I read a lore, before Warwick became warwick the last thing he remembers was blood and a voice of a screaming girl. In episode 3, when Vi left Powder beside dead Vander, Powder screamed until Silco and friends approached her.
Well its now revealed that Vander is warwick, it seems like Singed made him. "The test subject must survive"
I think rio, or the “mutation”, may have been what was used to create shimmer. And shimmer, along with much more, used to create warwick

One thing people seem to miss is the quote "I became the monster I always was" from Warwick. Vander tried to drown Silco and has all this wrath is trapped inside him just waiting to be unbound.
He was still trying to forget what he did, likely considering himself a monster in act 1 like he calls himself later as Warwick.
1:58 he never saw powder, but he probably recognized the monkey
Also take a look at Vander's right arm, the one silco slashed
Now take a look at warwicks right arm, the weaker one that broke and needed a claw to be surgically attached???
In lore, singed turns a human being into a werewolf so im guessing thats probably Vander also he performs cruel experiments on warwick attaches tubes of chemicals on his back and replaces his arm with a mechanical arm, all in while warwick was alive and he would pass out again and again from the pain

1:25 the fear in your eyes is from season 2 episode 5 when vi yells vander just as ww charges at her and vander s memories pop up
Here from the future and I have news
Who's here after act 2 of season 2?
Not to mention during the last fight for vander, they showed him using iron knuckles as his weapon which is the closest and most believable weapon that is similar to warwicks claws
“Zaun gave me claws long before you did”
and silco stabbed vander's arm, ww's mechanical claw thingy is possibly for that weak arm
I thought it's iron knuckles because he's used to the metal gauntlets
Plot twist: Vander is Sett
Congratulations...you are a prophet
I think the "You were there" will refer to fture events where Silco and Singed will experiment on him while Jinx is there because Silco took her in his gang for now.
That's actually make sense! Because, the way he say it, sounds like he is really mad at her, but he feels the connection between her to the fact that he raised Jinx but cannot fully remember it. It's sounds like he is angry and disappointed at the same time. In addition, he will not be mad if he is just talking about the fact that the explosions was caused by jinx because he will surely understand, that Jinx is just trying to help that night.
@@bulbulitobayagbagan9633 I don't know if he sounded moreangry than he sounds on every other line. He sounds angry even when talking to Vi, so thats probably just the way his voice is.
@@nooneatall5612 Of course he is angry, he feels so much pain that's what his lore is. What I meant was that he remember Jinx watching him suffer (to the fact that silco "adopted" her) while not doing anything, so he feel angry in a sense of he feels betrayed because he does not fully remember her who she was.
While Warwick was reworked, there was a series of Singe's journal entries posted about a man he was experimenting on with an illustration showing his subject hanging from the ceiling of his lab. The man on the ceiling is obscured but has plenty of similarities to Vander. There's another story that was posted with Warwick's update that contains his scattered thoughts and memories in which he occasionally describes two girls who are undoubtedly Vi and Jinx.
When Warwick told Vi: "Zaun needed you", it is probably referring to her becoming a champion of Piltover in the later stages of the lore.
The funny thing is Vander looks like one of those classic movie characters from way back when that would normally turn into a were-wolf.
Wolverine like looks kekw
this guy was actually right.
This is so good! But I think the time he saw fear in her eyes is when she first saw him juiced up on the purple stuff, looking like a monster. He freaked out when he saw her face and started howling in episode 3.
