The way Cait leans forward a little to get one last glance of her mom before the casket closes breaks my heart. Also just that shot of her in the intro with the crowned shadow behind her…. Heavy is the crown, be careful what you ask for. That shot of Mel after Cait reveals her strike force is so good. She looks absolutely terrified, like she can see every bad thing that’s about to happen and she can’t stop it.
Just finished the second season last night. There is a hole in my heart now, praying, hoping, wishing for another story from Runeterra. Glad to watch again through your reaction.
Christian Linke (Showrunner) was just on the channel of Necrit (#1 Runeterra-Lore-Nerd) and while he couldn't give any specifics, they are a) definitely making more shows and b) looking at several story options on where to continue, so there will be more stories for sure, it will however most likely take a while again :/
Okay, small things I appreciate about this episode: Pure dread in Jayce's eyes when he thinks Viktor is dead. (I love their friendship so much.) Cait being able to cry and let out her grief only when she's alone with Vi. How Jayce puts his head on Mel's knees seeking for comfort. (He does the same thing in Season 1.) Vi and Jayce teaming up to make the hammer work.
while I was also heavily looking forward to her takes, I can also really recommend watching Elijah (Not-So-Average-Fangirl) is also a treat - and she got Amanda (writer) + voices of Maddie and Skye along for the ride for some of the later episodes, which gives great behind-the-scenes infos on top
This is such a beautiful series, and this episode hits particularly hard. One thing that was recently revealed is that, with the exception of Cait and her mother, the entire funeral scene was hand drawn in charcoal rather than rendered digitally. it's such a powerful contrast, paired with an impeccable score.
The one with the chainsaw is firstly a Woman and the Chem-Baron equipped with Zaunite Chemtech enhancements who lost her son because of Jayce’s Incursion into Zaun Last Season.
"The hole gets smaller, but you never fill it." @18:37. Facts. This show hits the hardest with simple lines and looks. Also, your reaction to that moment made me feel so seen.
The purple thing is shimmer, the drug created by Singed that basically can turn people into monsters but also has other uses, like for example as a medicine in small doses. It's what was used to heal Vi after she was stabbed in season 1, and Jinx after she blew herself up but in her case she was given a massive dose of shimmer that changed her permanently which is why she now has pink eyes. The green stuff is a chemical compound that works as fuel for technology developed in Zaun, like the chainsaw in this episode.
The purple stuff is shimmer, created by Singed and produced and distributed by Silco. The green stuff is other chemtech (the general umbrella term for Zaunite chemicals and technology utilizing them), created by other Chem-Barons. The woman who attacked Jayce, Renni, is using her own (frankly inferior) stuff, probably partly out of professional pride, and partly because (I'd guess) shimmer production has been halted because of Silcos death and the supply is dwindling.
Soo excited for this reaction. Looking back on it, I’m pretty sure the season arcane reaction was the first show that got me into watching reactors and it was with Funnylilgal!

Here we are! This series is what brought me to your channel. Tho I've loved watching so much more with you, it's arcane season 2 I have waited for the most. Thank you for sharing this journey with us and so much more.
Excited to finally see you react to this emotionally rollercoaster because I know you never shy away from showing your feelings. This season was even more heartfelt than last season, by far! Nice nails btw...idk why I couldn't keep my eyes off your hands, lmao 😅😍
The animation this season is insane. The attention to detail is beyond all reason. In a later episode there's a scene where a girl looks at someone she adores and you can see her pupils dilate when she makes eye contact. The animation studio, Fortiche, is bonkers.
I can't remember a show that has cost me more tears than Arcane. Nine episodes this season and everyone one of them got to me in some way. I was going crazy waiting for your reactions to this season. Thank you.
I love that your reaction at the end with Caitlyn and her Hextech-equipped strike force isn’t awe; it’s trepidation. Don’t get me wrong, they look cool as hell, but this clearly represents a huge escalation in terms of the Piltover-Xaunite conflict and the potential start of a very dark path for Caitlyn and the city she serves.
@@brilobox2 You can tell that without being in that category. Even before I watched the next few episodes after this one for the first time, I could see that Caitlyn was in the grip of the rage that can only be born from a child whose parent was murdered.
The important thing with Jinx killing Silco last season was that she did it to save Vi. Hearing him cock the gun immediately pulled her free of the voices in her head, and with only a moment to act she chose to shoot him to save Vi.
Imma be extra and put the lyrics to the shows songs in each episode they play in, Just to show appreciation for the music. -Episode 1 I Can't Hear it Now Lyrics (Vocals by Freya Ridings): [Verse] There is an ocean so dark down below the waves Where you watch while these dreams gently float away And there is a silence so soft it's only memory Like the way your voice always sounds when you sing to me [Chorus] But I can't hear it now Just tell me how to keep breathing while pretending I'm not drowning I don't know if I could I watched a door close for good 'Cause I couldn't keep it open [Bridge] I just watched as the door closed for good 'Cause I couldn't keep it open [Chorus] Just tell me how to keep breathing whilе pretending I'm not drowning I don't know if I could I watched a door closе for good 'Cause I couldn't keep it open 💜
They never explain it, we just know it from the game lore. But the green stuff is an upgraded version of the purple stuff, Shimmer. It’s harder to make tho which is why not everyone has it
Green stuff is ChemTech. It is different than Shimmer (purple stuff that Jinx got). Shimmer is more powerful, but usually has side effects. Singed perfected his art in Shimmer with Jinx.
So to clarify cause its not super explained, theres shimmer the purple drug Singed made, theres hextech jayce and viktor made and theres CHEMtech which is what people in zaun use in their technology, its not addictive like shimmer and not as potent but it is still volatile and dangerous, much like zaun itself
Weird side-fact? The "wolves" appear in the game's jungle, and is in fact a two-headed wolf... so I guess it's just one wolf, not two wolves lol. w/e they cute.
Not related, but you need to watch "utopia" the 2013 british series, 2 seasons. I think there is maybe 1 reaction, and I think you'd enjoy it. Don't bother with the american version.
Silco wanted revenge. Freedom was just his rhetoric. Its why, after Grayson, all the harm we see him cause is exclusively done to Zaun itself because his true motives are self destructive and made him poison to everything around him. And Powder herself personifies that as his obsession contributes to driving her to attempted suicide. Redemption is just the choice to make kinder choices. Anyone can choose it at anytime as its an entirely personal act. Redemption is internal, no ones ever beyond it but few ever truly try for it.
This show is done SO freakishly well. The amount of tears I've shed so far could fill a bathtub.
There were several points in season 2 where I've had a headache from crying so much.
I'm a sap and cry at shows all the time, but that's a first.
The way Cait leans forward a little to get one last glance of her mom before the casket closes breaks my heart.
Also just that shot of her in the intro with the crowned shadow behind her…. Heavy is the crown, be careful what you ask for.
That shot of Mel after Cait reveals her strike force is so good. She looks absolutely terrified, like she can see every bad thing that’s about to happen and she can’t stop it.
You've made the leaning comment on a bunch of reactions...
And that's great, because it's a very good point and breaks my heart, too.
Yes! I have been patiently waiting for this reaction. Your watch of season one is how I found this channel, and why I stayed. So excited.
@@zacharyvalko7699 Same
Same!
Same here

@@ChipnChep Thanks, and I do know they 'plan' on exploring the rest of the world. I will be waiting like a shimmer fiend for that next fix.

So happy your video is out. You are the ONLY creator whose reaction I was looking forward to. Commenting prior to watching your reaction.

@ Tysm for the recommendations. Will check out those videos as well. (:
Calling it now, you are going to be crying in at least half of the thumbnails for this show

JUST WATCHED THE FINAL EPISODES !! IM SO EXCITED TO SEE U REACT TO IT ❤
This show is really amazing. Season 2 is going to make you cry. I guarantee that

Oh damn she just started season 2? Hope she has a stack of tissue boxes ready. She ain’t ready what’s about come.
100 percent needed
Angela's hair looks great with the brown. It was a great version of Heavy Is The Crown by Linkin Park they made for the show.

Aye yes! I was hopin'! 💜
Soo excited for this reaction.

Been eagerly awaiting your reactions to season 2 yayyyyy
Fair and BIG warning: You will need to buy stock in Kleenex this season. Not going to spoil, but have tissues ready for every. single. episode.
I feel like a rewatch of season 1 would have helped answer a number of your questions.
Great reaction, great editing as always.
Just finished the show and now I get to go through it again with fresh eyes
Finally, been waiting for this, you're my favorite reactor ♥
-Episode 1 Heavy is the Crown Full Song Lyrics (Vocals by Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong):
It’s pouring in, it laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends, you can’t win
Get your white flags out when the war begins
Aimin’ so high but swingin’ so low
Tryna catch fire, but feelin’ so cold
Hold it inside and hope they won’t show
Sayin’ it’s not, but inside I know
Today is gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ what the joke is
Today is gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ what the joke is
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
Turned to run, now look what it’s become
Outnumbered tеn to one
Back then, should’ve bit your tonguе
There’s no turnin’ back this path once it’s begun
You’re already on that list
Say you don’t want what you can’t resist
Waving that sword when the pen won’t miss
Watchin’ it all fallin’ apart like this
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
Today is gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ what the joke is
This is what you asked for
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
💜
Or in this version of the song:
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Tryna hold it in but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
THIS IS WHAT YOU ASLED FOR, HEAVY IS THE CROWN
FIRE IN THE SUNRISE, ASHES RAININ' DOWN
TRYNA HOLD IT IN BUT IT KEEPS BLEEDIN' OUT
THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR, HEAVY IS THE
HEAVY IS THE CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!!!

Here we are! This series is what brought me to your channel. Tho I've loved watching so much more with you, it's arcane season 2 I have waited for the most. Thank you for sharing this journey with us and so much more.
The music and animation/visuals are EVEN BETTER in Season 2. Hoo boy!
Goddamn i love watching this show with you. You get hit at all the same parts as me 😢
So hype for season 2 reactions! I'm sure everything will be happy this time and not sad whatsoever 😅😅
Excited to finally see you react to this emotionally rollercoaster because I know you never shy away from showing your feelings. This season was even more heartfelt than last season, by far! Nice nails btw...idk why I couldn't keep my eyes off your hands, lmao 😅😍

Rickon is the big guy that is Ambessa’s right hand. He stood guard while Ambessa was pulling her power move on Jayce in and out the tub.😊
I can't remember a show that has cost me more tears than Arcane. Nine episodes this season and everyone one of them got to me in some way.
I was going crazy waiting for your reactions to this season. Thank you.
You are in for the greatest emotional rollercoaster of the year.
Get whole box of tissues ready.
26:47 The big guy with Mel's mom..... You mean, Zangief? 😁😁
Found your channel from Arcane season 1. So excited for your season 2 reactions!!!
Art Style, Music, Story and Voice Acting are all brilliant in this series.
YES IVE BEEN WAITING
I love that your reaction at the end with Caitlyn and her Hextech-equipped strike force isn’t awe; it’s trepidation. Don’t get me wrong, they look cool as hell, but this clearly represents a huge escalation in terms of the Piltover-Xaunite conflict and the potential start of a very dark path for Caitlyn and the city she serves.
Isn’t it great being part of the 99% that have seen the show already?
@@brilobox2 You can tell that without being in that category. Even before I watched the next few episodes after this one for the first time, I could see that Caitlyn was in the grip of the rage that can only be born from a child whose parent was murdered.
Shoutout Xander What~
Yo!
YESSSS! I was waiting for you to start watching this!
Its about time =) cant wait for you to catch up with the rest of us !!
The important thing with Jinx killing Silco last season was that she did it to save Vi. Hearing him cock the gun immediately pulled her free of the voices in her head, and with only a moment to act she chose to shoot him to save Vi.
Yes! Been waiting for your reaction to this.
p.s. Your hair looks great!
Maaaan I’ve been waiting!
I just finished episode 9 and zero spoilers but this show is an actual masterpiece from beginning to end.
I was so worried about Maddie this episode. Glad she survived the Planned attack. She’s a Valuable member of Caitlin’s team. 😢❤❤❤
Imma be extra and put the lyrics to the shows songs in each episode they play in, Just to show appreciation for the music.
-Episode 1 I Can't Hear it Now Lyrics (Vocals by Freya Ridings):
[Verse]
There is an ocean so dark down below the waves
Where you watch while these dreams gently float away
And there is a silence so soft it's only memory
Like the way your voice always sounds when you sing to me
[Chorus]
But I can't hear it now
Just tell me how to keep breathing while pretending I'm not drowning
I don't know if I could
I watched a door close for good
'Cause I couldn't keep it open
[Bridge]
I just watched as the door closed for good
'Cause I couldn't keep it open
[Chorus]
Just tell me how to keep breathing whilе pretending I'm not drowning
I don't know if I could
I watched a door closе for good
'Cause I couldn't keep it open
💜
I appreciate it!
yea guuuurl i was waiting on you for this, we be in for a ride. 1st of your video i saw, was arcane
Ah yes, more tears 😂❤
"Idk what that means!" At the end lol. Only people that played the game know what that meant lol
Omg I was missiing your reactions ❤
And we are back!! Hells yeah i cannot wait to weep along with you. So excited to be emotionally ruined by this masterpiece.
They never explain it, we just know it from the game lore. But the green stuff is an upgraded version of the purple stuff, Shimmer. It’s harder to make tho which is why not everyone has it
YES! was finally waiting for your reaction to Season 2 and my God Angela you are NOT prepared for this and grab your tissues. Trust me.
Green stuff is ChemTech. It is different than Shimmer (purple stuff that Jinx got). Shimmer is more powerful, but usually has side effects. Singed perfected his art in Shimmer with Jinx.
Never happy, always beautiful...
YESSS FINALLY MOTHERRR, IVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING❤🫂
Green = chemtech (native undercity science) or rune magic, Blue = hextech or rune magic, Purple = Shimmer, Pink = The Void.
Oh we are so back, strap in yall
I’ve just finished the entire season. I suggest you have tissues for all the tears and water for the dehydration, because of all the tears.
Welcome back to Arcane!🎉
So to clarify cause its not super explained, theres shimmer the purple drug Singed made, theres hextech jayce and viktor made and theres CHEMtech which is what people in zaun use in their technology, its not addictive like shimmer and not as potent but it is still volatile and dangerous, much like zaun itself
I've been waiting for you to dive in! Welcome back to the misery
Get ready to get your heart shatter, spit and kick on...........minimum
'down here' is a nice freudianslip
I was kind of sceptical after the first 3 episodes. But is just kept getting better and better.
Been a minute since I been here, either OP Live action or OG Arcane. Hope you enjoy season two.
The season 2 is more harsh and rough than the 1. Always nicely done with all emotions with all character so lovely.
Wooo glad to see ur back on the arcane hype train!
To answer one of ur questions Mel’s mom is ambessa and her lieutenant is rictus
YOU LOOK SO DANG GOOD WITH DARK HAIR OMG
I hope you have tissues ready for this season. Especially the latter half
WE WON
You are looking stunning today,Ange.❤🙂
Weird side-fact? The "wolves" appear in the game's jungle, and is in fact a two-headed wolf... so I guess it's just one wolf, not two wolves lol. w/e they cute.
When will you post the new cobra Kai season?

This season is great, act 2 will break your heart.....
You are NOT ready for this season.
Damn, today I just barely have got over the Season 2 myself, well here we go again... group teraphy of watching others get ArcanePTSDed
Noo, No Maddie!
Maddie? Maddie, NO!
hm, you should react to National Lampoons Loaded Weapon. almost non stop laughs.
Not related, but you need to watch "utopia" the 2013 british series, 2 seasons. I think there is maybe 1 reaction, and I think you'd enjoy it. Don't bother with the american version.
Episode 6 will break her.
🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hey ! Nice to have you back on the Arcane cirquit - brace yourself and keep the tissues near by. Just saying...
could you react to inkheart ?? it is good as stardust
You dont need makeup for this season, trust me.
More like.. Metalmorphosis..
don't mind singed, he's just doing minor singed things. nothing major on the singed scale of atrocities.
I pray you don’t get spoiled. TH-cam video titles are everywhere spoiling!
You are in for a wet season.
