this clip definitely did make me go quite feral over Vi, you called it 😂 I really do love how Arcane treats female characters so much, it's such a breath of fresh air
Yordles are very much drawn to chaos and fun, and they sort of absorb the vibes of whatever environment they're in. I would say it's just common to find yordles at fight pits - and then they get so intense about it, they get into the nitty gritty and start running things. And considering the themes of League and Runeterra and Arcane, we're more likely to see fight pits than, say.... the friendly neighborhood knitting club. You may also find a yordle there that gets weirdly intense about it. We just don't see them.
I think the hand holding Vi's betting ticket belongs to Jinx, and her clean/well-kept nails show how she is finally herself and not having an identity crisis that stresses her out. Her chipped nails/general messiness was a physical representation of her stress and inner turmoil between being Powder and being Jinx. She now has let Powder go and fully accepts herself as Jinx. Because of this, she might present in a more clean/unified way (i.e. nice, unchipped, well-kept nails) Its also very narratively satisfying when you consider her put-togetherness in contrast to Vi's VERY MESSY identity crisis (literally covering herself in oil/grime/black makeup and it progrssively building up and getting wasted every night as we see from the bottles). Last season, Jinx had the identity crisis and Vi was confident in herself and her values. Now Jinx is confident in herself and her values and Vi is having the identity crisis. Edit: Jinx being so still in all her shots also gives this same vibe of centeredness, like a lion on the hunt, which is also beautifully in contrast with how vi is moving in basically every frame shes in unless she's passed out
The way the ticket is held very steady also fits the still portrail of Jinx in this. And she is shown in the audience when Vi is getting beaten, so she might have been there earlier too.
Lots of good points here! I think Vi's identity crisis will lead to her taking up a similar but still different mantle to Vander, hinted at here by Vi's jacket with the two headed hound mirroring Vander's title as Hound of the Underground.
Yes! My bets are fighter pit Vi is post-task force, having ”broken up” with Cait over Jinx conflict, also potentially thinking that Jinx has died or smth (I think there could be a martyr thing but then she’s actually alive and comes back). Shield-dude from the task force maybe ended up friends with Vi and took her side in the Cait-conflict. This is some depressed breakup and grief behaviour, come one with the hair dye and drinking. 💀
My prediction is that in Arc 1, Vi and Caitlyn go hunting Jinx (with Vi's intention being to just arrest her) but in their final fight, Jinx will use Fishbones but Caitlyn will most likely take a shot at her causing it to blow up, which we see happen at the end of the official trailer and this will be where Jinx loses her finger and potentially fall into the fissures. After this event, Vi will probably think that Jinx is dead and Caitlyn caused it with Vi believing herself to be an accomplice to her sister's death, which will in turn fracture her relationship with Caitlyn causing them to separate and Vi spiralling out of control. This will also explain why Jinx is going around wearing a cloak to hide her identity since everyone believes she's dead (also explains why there is a Mural of Jinx with Vander). - Just my prediction, you heard it here first!
I think another reason Vi is gonna split from Caitlyn is an argument over martial law, which Caitlyn will agree with while Vi hates the idea. We were told this season will explore the characters at their darkest, lowest points so for Caitlyn it will be her sense of justice being warped into vengeance and tyranny while for Vi it will be this entire pit fighting sequence.
regarding the hand, the one that could be Jinx's. if you look tat was a right hand. But all the spoilers I've seen where Jinx has the prosthetic finger have it on her left hand. So the one holding the ticket here is provably still hers.
@@3BSkyen happy almost Arcane! I seriously appreciate your perspective on this show so much. Love art and film so to hear analyses dabble in both is a god send; and yours are the most thoughtful, respectful, detailed, passionate I’ve seen! Love love love your work! By chance, do you have an eta for arcane act 3 details? >.< I know you must be busy, just curious!
This makes me remember a line that Jinx said at the season 1 finale. "Your voice picking me up when all the colors were black." Now all of the colors are black for vi so maybe Jinx will be the one to pick her back up.
In summer there was a closed showcase on a ceremony. I think this was the clip. Leaks about that said about Vi mentally going downhill and seeing hallucinations like her sister, and she actually does. Really interesting seeing their positions swapped, with Vi being more like Jinx and Jinx being sorta like Vander.
She is in Piltover, The Announcer at the start said The Piltover Boxing League, So Jinx is keeping an eye on her Sis in the shadows post timeskip?. Now Vi has gone all Emo, so either break up depression or identity crisis depression self destructing. That does say a lot if Vi is fighting for the Piltover Boxing League for booze and fast cash, that would mean Piltover has not captured Jinx and she is still Public Enemy # 1 and yet Jinx is behind enemy lines to keep an eye on her sister risking getting captured or killed. Interesting to say the least.
it's called the piltover boxing league because zaun is still not independent from piltover. if you look at the surroundings, it's all dingy and has a green colour palette, often associated with the undercity, unlike piltover which is blue and gold
@@burnt-croissants Good point, but the fact that she is at the point where she has lost everything and that Home does feel like home anymore,perhaps Vi is in a area where she is on the border of the two cities. But yah Flags of Ambessa and Cait are everywhere know, Piltover and the Undercity alike. Since Vi has a Good heart perhaps Vi and Cait could have arrested Jinx,but Cait was out for blood and that is why Vi had a falling out with Cait. I mean Jinx's death toll have been aimed at Enforcers, Firelights which is hinted in the trailers may forgive her, and lastly corrupt politicians.This personal for Cait. The old Cait would just want to arrest Jinx.
I’m pretty sure Jinx’s cloak she wears here is the same cloak that is in the trailer where that weird pink explosion with the enforcers happened, meaning it probably wasn’t Victor. Also a lot of those scenes are very reminiscent of Jinx in her moral decline, specially Vi soaking her face (like the baptism of silco thing), and her being alone on the bar bench (like when jinx did that in the first season twice). The big difference is Jinx’s experience was quieter (in some ways), and more sociopathic, while Vis is loud and angry.
[gets the notification] "oh god. I have to sleep tonight....sigh. [click] How long is it this time Skye- oh. Under 30 mins? Really?...Huh. Okay fuck it, we ball."
Id like to point out, The very last punch that Vi receives the environment changes from the pit to perhaps the street, I think shes thrown out of this fight club for losing too much and not making our eel eating Yordle money.
7:20 I believe Fishmen are distinct from Vastaya in the same way the Minotaurs are, since Vastayas are inherently magical while Minotaurs and Fishmen are just regular races.
@@3BSkyen yeah I don't think there's anything official confirming it. Also I think the batlike people are likely Chireans since they resemble the ones in LoR.
Yay!!! I'm so happy to see your post! I love your enthusiastic analysis; I'm over the moon about how catastrophically emotionally wrecked Vi clearly is; and I can't wait for your full-length frame by frame breakdown analysis of this magnificent mess of a girl.
I'm betting it claimed the clip because of the big episode leak that happened a while back. so one system is trying to fight the leaks and another system is trying to show the teaser and one can't tell the difference between the two and is smiting them both.
We had something like this, while waiting for season one, but it was Jinx. When Jinx went to the place where Vi used to train as a kid. And fought the machine, but couldn't beat her high score.
Love how at the very end people at netflix were talking about El Eternauta. Great story, great comic. Everyone ahould read it. About the reaction, thanks man. I needed that frame by frame. And loved the comentary. Ps: I may not identify as a lesbian, but i am very unwise about her. Thanks again!
Something I noticed is that the very final shot doesn't look like Vi on the ground of the arena but on a stone slap being treated, considering there is like that little ledge. Considering it is a stone slap and not something soft and there seems to be a person behind her, maybe they think she's dead?
It's a match cut to her apartment bed. The shot started with Vi getting knocked out on the floor of the arena, but quickly transitions to her passing out on her bed (you can tell because you can see the bottom of the knocked over glass bottles to the left of her head).
I watched the trailer and scene again. You are right that what I took for another persons head could be a bottle. I don't think it is Vi's room though. Going through the scene Vi clearly has a mattressm, which isn't the case for the thing. The makeup is dirty thus she didn't dip her face in water as so far was shown and based on her makeup I think there should be more on the board than one bottle. Though the pipe in the back of the orange glas/bottle would fit. Maybe they even stole/took Vi's mattress because she is to out of money to pay? Tho that mattress didn't look appetizing before ^^;
That, and I don't think Vi wants anyone to know who she is. That's why she dyes her recognizable pink hair and covers her facial tattoo with the paint. Even if people do know her first name, I don't think it'd make sense for anyone but Jinx to write that down.
I'm calling it now: Jinx's missile doesn't actually explode. It just flies into the council room and hits Mel along the way. The rest of the council dies for an entirely different reason.
It’s interesting to me that all of Vi’s opponents are male. Is she the only female pit fighter in Zaun? Or does she pick male opponents because despite the women in her life being the cause of her conflict she can’t bring herself to hurt them? Caitlyn and Jinx being enemies divides her but she loves both of them. Raising her hand against Powder kicked off so much pain that she can’t do it again? Curious. Also yes. Pitfighter Vi is going to do things to the lesbians. And probably the bi’s 😂
9:39 I believe that character with the low cut shirt is a woman?? I think it's a black sports bra. Maybe not. Either way, love your comment it is something to think about
It’s interesting that she is now in the same position that Jinx was in the beginning. Torn between two worlds she cares for that will never be able to reconcile: Vi and Silco. And now Vi is stuck in the same situation but with Caitlyn and Jinx, topside and bottom, pulled in both directions, and she is not taking it well.
The fighter with the green and black braided hair is a female methinks. Im sure boxing or fighting in general is still a male dominated thing even in Zaun
One thing I wonder if people noticed was that Vi's apartment is about the size of a jail cell. Vi put herself back into prison. And that Jinx is not a ghost or creation of Vi's head. Jinx is actually there watching Vi. sm
5:05 "Some lesbians are gonna be... acting rather unwise I think, about this version of Vi." Ah TB Skyen don't forget about us bi/pan folks too. Because holy moly.
My theory is that in act 1 the strike team with cait and vi hunt down jinx and when cait was about to kill jinx vi stop her and somehow causes her death, and this is after what happen and vi is haunted by cait now
naaah there’s no way Caitlyn dies, at least not as soon as Act 1 seeing how Arcane is now canon and League takes place a couple years after it, I don’t see any of the champions characters dying.
One of the background characters in the club kind of looks like one of Evelynn's husks from LoR. Breakneck Husk in particular, appropriate if true since that husk is PnZ region.
The way I interpret it is that Jinx is kind of a hallucination at first, Vi is not directly looking at her because Jinx is haunting Vi from her subconscious. Just like Milo and Claggor have been haunting Powder. Vi might not see her directly, but she probably feels Jinx being present in her darkest and loneliest moments in some way. The genius part about this is that we realize at the end of the clip "Oh f**k, Jinx is actually there". There is also a big difference between "haunting" Jinx and actual Jinx: In one scene we see her glowing left "Silco" eye, symbolizing that Vi sees her as nothing else than an extension of Silco. In the scene where she is actually present, we see her right eye, not glowing and without any hint of malicious intent towards Vi.
🤓 According to the lol wiki, Fish Folk do exist in Runeterra. Also I think the bat-like people are redesigned Chirean since the wiki says they live in the sump.
Netflix: "Hey you can't have this info, it spoils things for episode X!" TBSkyen: "So this happens in X? Oh wow, that's such a spoiler!" Netflix: *Shocked pikachu face*
I think there was a card in LoR of some fighting pit yordle, it might be that one. I thought that "fight promotor" was the shield dude from Cait's team I think in bilgewater there's a different "fishfolk" species apart from the vastayah, you know, Jack the Champion is one of them. These fish looking dudes may be that same species. They're just basically fishmen like vastayah but without the connection with the spiritual magic. Like the bat species in zaun, the "chirean" they even have their own wiki page. But before arcane they were short looking batguys lmao
The pennants in the alley aren't the Kiramman crest, unless they get a new one after Cassandra (presumably) passes away or Cait gets her own sheriff's symbol. But it doesn't match any other Runeterran crests either as far as i can find, so I'll be curious to know the significance.
I seriously recommend checking out Detective Diaries by Crash Landing Studios. The art style has an almost painted look and it adapts popular characters to be more grounded, it’s surprisingly similar to Arcane.
You know one of the things I did seriously dislike about Arcane was the handling of Jinx’s psychosis, so I’m relieved to see they seem to be also emphasizing Vi’s own psychosis to show it’s not something that turns you evil.
Well the hand with the ticket was totally Jinx's and also it's her right hand, she has a missing finger on her left hand so we have no idea if it's pre or after that
It might've gotten hard blocked because it got detected as a leak. I saw on your Twitter that it got claimed as a clip from a specific episode so I think it could be that.
Amazing reaction! Have you seen the other clip yet? It came out when you were doing a lot of helluva boss so you never got round to it. I am impressed with how you are able to react to all this stuff while still running a main channel. Dont burn yourself out though!!!
Unpopular opinion but I have a slight feeling that the Vander lookalike is maybe not as good as he seems? Will be interesting to see how that relationship plays out between them.
"Some lesbians are going be acting rather unwise about this version of Vi" LMAO YUP ITS ME LESBIAN ACTING UNWISE

You know, it seems weirdly common for yordles to run fight pits.
If I had a nickel every time we saw a yordle run a fighting pit, I'd have 2(+?) nickels. Which isn't a lot, but I do like this trend by riot. 🪙
Maybe it's a cultural thing?
Yordles are very much drawn to chaos and fun, and they sort of absorb the vibes of whatever environment they're in. I would say it's just common to find yordles at fight pits - and then they get so intense about it, they get into the nitty gritty and start running things.

If I had a nickle for everytime a yordle had a fight pit I had 2 nickles. Which is not a lot but its weird it happend twice

even when they show her asleep it's in a sparatic montage of changing positions and locations/activity in that room
Nobody realised. The guy who hangs out with vi in the bar and helps her up the steps. He’s the piltover shield guy, like part of caitlyn’s strike team
Yes! My bets are fighter pit Vi is post-task force, having ”broken up” with Cait over Jinx conflict, also potentially thinking that Jinx has died or smth (I think there could be a martyr thing but then she’s actually alive and comes back). Shield-dude from the task force maybe ended up friends with Vi and took her side in the Cait-conflict. This is some depressed breakup and grief behaviour, come one with the hair dye and drinking. 💀
am lesbian, am unwise for Vi. "I can help her" we all scream
"She can be fixed" we say in unison
I don't know if I can fix her but she sure can make me worse
Are we supposed to be ignoring how much like Vander that manager guy looks?
Definitely on purpose, finding someone who reminds her of Vander :/
Really supportive of Jinx to bet on her sister XD
My prediction is that in Arc 1, Vi and Caitlyn go hunting Jinx (with Vi's intention being to just arrest her) but in their final fight, Jinx will use Fishbones but Caitlyn will most likely take a shot at her causing it to blow up, which we see happen at the end of the official trailer and this will be where Jinx loses her finger and potentially fall into the fissures.

omfg i didnt even notice until this comment..yeah it must've been a "familiar" size..& she just didn't care or whatever
Honestly her apartment looks even smaller than her cell back at Stillwater. Like, physically smaller and then more cramped on top of that
I just saw this and started geeking I guess

It's very unlikely but imagine if the one who died was actually Caitlyn and then Jinx just went missing, and that's why she has nothing 'more' to lose

It’s interesting to me that all of Vi’s opponents are male. Is she the only female pit fighter in Zaun? Or does she pick male opponents because despite the women in her life being the cause of her conflict she can’t bring herself to hurt them? Caitlyn and Jinx being enemies divides her but she loves both of them. Raising her hand against Powder kicked off so much pain that she can’t do it again? Curious. Also yes.

One of the them is a woman. The one with blue braid hair
yeah, emo Vi is doing things to me. I think this version of her is doing it for me much more than her regular look actually.
One thing I wonder if people noticed was that Vi's apartment is about the size of a jail cell. Vi put herself back into prison. And that Jinx is not a ghost or creation of Vi's head. Jinx is actually there watching Vi. sm
I wonder if Kaitlyn shoots Jinks and seemingly kills her. That's when Vi starts doing this hobby

5:06 You didn’t have to say it but CORRECT 😂
I dont know if its just me but those markings under Vi's eyes reminds me of a jester

My theory is that in act 1 the strike team with cait and vi hunt down jinx and when cait was about to kill jinx vi stop her and somehow causes her death, and this is after what happen and vi is haunted by cait now
naaah there’s no way Caitlyn dies, at least not as soon as Act 1
seeing how Arcane is now canon and League takes place a couple years after it, I don’t see any of the champions characters dying.
5:10 "rather unwise" is an understatement
vi’s look here reminds me a lot of rhea ripley
Doesn't Vi's fight manager look a lot like that enforcer in Caitlyn's new group?
It's the same guy yes
One of the background characters in the club kind of looks like one of Evelynn's husks from LoR. Breakneck Husk in particular, appropriate if true since that husk is PnZ region.
wait....this gives me V and Jackie vibes from Cyberpunk 2077.
Vi is just default fem v .
isn't that the guy with Cait and Vi's crew in that teaser where they were assembling a team?
Twitter has been full of Vi ever since... we are NOT ready for Season 2.
The way I interpret it is that Jinx is kind of a hallucination at first, Vi is not directly looking at her because Jinx is haunting Vi from her subconscious. Just like Milo and Claggor have been haunting Powder. Vi might not see her directly, but she probably feels Jinx being present in her darkest and loneliest moments in some way. The genius part about this is that we realize at the end of the clip "Oh f**k, Jinx is actually there". There is also a big difference between "haunting" Jinx and actual Jinx: In one scene we see her glowing left "Silco" eye, symbolizing that Vi sees her as nothing else than an extension of Silco. In the scene where she is actually present, we see her right eye, not glowing and without any hint of malicious intent towards Vi.
BARK BARK BARK!
not a lesbian and vi has me going insane
"some lesbians are gonna be acting rather unwise about this version of Vi"
it's me
i'm some lesbians
🤓 According to the lol wiki, Fish Folk do exist in Runeterra. Also I think the bat-like people are redesigned Chirean since the wiki says they live in the sump.
Netflix: "Hey you can't have this info, it spoils things for episode X!"
TBSkyen: "So this happens in X? Oh wow, that's such a spoiler!"
Netflix: *Shocked pikachu face*
The hype is real!
Did you just say November is less than a month away 😭might want to double check your calendar
It feels less than a month, so it might as well be. It's already almost equinox time and I didn't even notice we left August
I think there was a card in LoR of some fighting pit yordle, it might be that one.
I thought that "fight promotor" was the shield dude from Cait's team
I think in bilgewater there's a different "fishfolk" species apart from the vastayah, you know, Jack the Champion is one of them. These fish looking dudes may be that same species. They're just basically fishmen like vastayah but without the connection with the spiritual magic. Like the bat species in zaun, the "chirean" they even have their own wiki page. But before arcane they were short looking batguys lmao
The pennants in the alley aren't the Kiramman crest, unless they get a new one after Cassandra (presumably) passes away or Cait gets her own sheriff's symbol. But it doesn't match any other Runeterran crests either as far as i can find, so I'll be curious to know the significance.
what i find really interesting to me is the flashes of like a fil reel - did Jinx also have that for her flashbacks/episodes?
I seriously recommend checking out Detective Diaries by Crash Landing Studios.
The art style has an almost painted look and it adapts popular characters to be more grounded, it’s surprisingly similar to Arcane.
Vi going all black and looking drunk and beat up makes me sad 😢
You know one of the things I did seriously dislike about Arcane was the handling of Jinx’s psychosis, so I’m relieved to see they seem to be also emphasizing Vi’s own psychosis to show it’s not something that turns you evil.
Well the hand with the ticket was totally Jinx's and also it's her right hand, she has a missing finger on her left hand so we have no idea if it's pre or after that
Why Vi is so hot?
Casually gets called out because of Viceps
5:06 as a lesbian, ur right
The leaks are for sure the reason that it gets blocked so easily right
Yes. They need to be enforced rather harsh
i JUST NEED the name of that enforcer please I'm crawling in the walls PLEASE don't kill another BEAR FORTICHE PLEASE
5:07 LMAOO CALLED OUT😂😂
If I had to hazard a guess I would say it is episode 5 or 6.
I’m betting 4, post ep-3 ending probably messing everyone up
It might've gotten hard blocked because it got detected as a leak. I saw on your Twitter that it got claimed as a clip from a specific episode so I think it could be that.
Amazing reaction! Have you seen the other clip yet? It came out when you were doing a lot of helluva boss so you never got round to it. I am impressed with how you are able to react to all this stuff while still running a main channel. Dont burn yourself out though!!!
I'M LESBIANS
5:05 it's me, I'm the lesbian
Totally normal
No idea who that guy is but he seems supportive xd
I want to skip October. Get me to November! Now!!!
Are we just ignoring the official clips of Arcane season 2 from Netflix TH-cam channel there's like 3 a total of three of them so far
"High... all the time, to keep you out my mind." 🎶🎶
Theres a new dmc anime trailer out cant wait to do a necrit
It’s two months
Offf for act 1 and 3 perfect
You got around the weird Netflix claim thing nicely
Weird that Skyen hasnt done 1 hour long video about this clip are we sure this isnt Ai generated.
This is so brutal!
Unpopular opinion but I have a slight feeling that the Vander lookalike is maybe not as good as he seems? Will be interesting to see how that relationship plays out between them.
Jeez, that was fast 😮
