@@thatsimple_simp Exactly. I think the two have an interesting dynamic. When it comes to controlling emotions and socializing, Caitlyn is definitely the dominant one and Vi is like her good puppy who follows her everywhere, but when it gets physical the roles are reversed.🤭
Fun fact, throughout this arc Isha was a reference to Jinx's first monkey bomb. Episode 4: Jinx trained and painted her. Episode 5: Her main function was repeatedly clapping her hands together. Episode 6: She overloads on Hex Crystals and kills Vander.
It's so funny to me how Mosko was just shocked by the disrespect of Vi spitting at Cait but all I could focus on was that Cait wiped Vi's spit TOWARDS her mouth instead of away from it lmao
I’m still wondering how much convincing it took to get Vi to do that… (And yes, it could easily be that Vi just was letting out some of her anger about how they left things before… but the idea that it was part of the plan is just hilarious, and more so-also a bit fitting all things considered-if it’s Cait’s idea)
Mosco is the first reactor I've seen that got why Isha took the gems from the gauntlets. She saw that Jinx took hers, and put 2 and 2 together, because she was bright, and observant. So many seemed to think she was being a troublemaker for Vi.
3:50 - Rictus is not a mage, but the opposite. He's someone who fights against mages with a weapon that nullifies magical powers. When Ambessa says "mages", the focus is on the runes that absorb the Arcane power and render Rictus resistant to spells and Hextech.
"You must spit on my face. She won't believe it otherwise so you have to spit on my face like you hate me a lot. Looking into my eyes. Maybe growling too."
Isha's sacrifice broke me in more ways than I thought possible. The saddest part is since she never spoke, Jinx won't even be able to hold onto her as a voice in her head.
22:05 She puts THREE in. One from the gun, and both of the ones from Vi's gauntlets. This mirrors season 1 ep 3 where Powder put three in the little monkey and made the big boom.
I wonder if Vi’s three rules she learned from Vander about trust have to do with two things. One, her “shut up” lesson to Mylo. And two, her lesson to Caitlyn about “letting people think you have what they want.” “See this look on my face? This will always mean it’s time to shut up.” So, Vi saw something in Caitlyn’s face to know she could trust her sincerity? Vi also seemed to see something in Jinx’s tearful eyes to know she was telling the truth about Vander being alive. And looking back, Vi does tend to let her opponents talk and talk while she listens and plans her next move. Like with Silco outside her old house, or when Ekko kidnapped and interrogated her, or when Caitlyn implores Ekko to give back the gemstone.
17:38 a little insider knowledge boon, someone who plays League may recognize the runestone band Rictus wound around his weapon as a Kaenic Rookern. an item you can buy in the game that gives 400 Health, 100% Base Health Regeneration, 80 Magic Resistance, and after not taking magic damage for 15 seconds you gain a shield that absorbs magic damage equal to 15% of maximum health until destroyed.
I don't usually cry when watching media but Isha's sacrifice genuinely got me to tear up a little. Edit: If I had a Nickle for every time a Netflix show got me to break down crying I'd have two Nickles which isn't but it's weird that it happened twice.
Not to mention the song that plays all the while is literally called "Isha's Song." As in not just the whole montage, but an entire song is dedicated to her, and ONLY her as like a memorial of sorts.
I love how Mosco was so shocked by Vi spitting on Caitlyn that she didn’t notice she wiped it Towards her mouth instead of Away from it.😂 I didn't think Cait was into that, but I can't say I'm surprised.
Isha was a Lioness. She earned her place in Valhalla and I salute her. Fun Fact! The name Isha originates from the Hindu language and means "The one who protects."
Honestly, Arcane has been an incredibly, encompassing story about life. The truth is life doesn’t work like a story with “and they lived happily ever after”. As the trailer said, “Every ending… has a new beginning.” And Viktor says, “Evolution has a destination. Not to combat nature, but to supersede it.” All the characters in this story constantly evolve, constantly affect each others lives, and can never escape our capacity to perform our greatest good and our greatest evil… because life keeps happening. Life isn’t a short and sweet story with a neat beginning, middle, and ending. New things will constantly happen to us our whole lives. Every time we think a trauma or an event is going to destroy us, the story continues. Over and over, we are going to face new trauma, or pain, or feel incredible loss. But we’re still here, even if we’re questioning, “why?” If we looked at the world as a whole, we would undoubtedly believe humanity isn’t worth saving. But if we look just through our individual eyes at the people who loved us, who touched our lives, we believe that is worth saving.
Isha is a good representation of Powder and young Vi. Her eyes are neither pink or blue, but yellow. Isha stole Vi’s gemstones from her gauntlets along with Jinx’s gem from her pistol. If you include Viktor’s question about fate, then Isha sacrificing herself is symbolic that Powder was always fated to die. The events of that night with the monkey bomb were always going to happen. But this time, Isha/Powder is somehow okay with it. She reminded Jinx what was good about the life of Powder. She even holds up Jinx’s pistol like the blue flare. Vander returning wasn’t just another chance for the sisters at a life with him, it was another chance at life after he is gone for good.
The blood used in the camp to lure Vander is Singed's specifically. We can see him filling the container with it moments earlier. Because he put some of his blood into the beast as he was making it back in episode 3, they have a special connection and the scent of it lures him more strongly and from further away than anyone else's blood would
The way Jinx asks, “We?” to Vi twice in different contexts, and Vi smiles for the first time in forever! I sort of wish Vi and Jinx got a chance to hold hands or side hug each other at the “grave” where their house was, on their own, without Vander, to show their relationship is healing. Maybe in act three?
Me… I already prepared myself for the inevitable… yes it was still a bit of a fight to hold back the tears but I got through it by being upset with Jayce…
Can't wait to watch the episodes tonight for my birthday after dinner with family then I will watch these reactions because based on the thumbnail it's a good one so can't wait
Vander isnt actually their dad, he said in the flashback last episode if she told someone else yet, who is their actual dad, we saw him in the montage of vanders past memories this episode too
Vi getting interrogated by Ambessa is so good! Vi would be perfect for Noxus but Vi is too rebellious in spirit. But Vi knows, unlike Ambessa, that Caitlyn is also rebellious in spirit too. And the fact Ambessa chooses to tell Vi that she did steal Caitlyn’s heart as though this would hurt Vi before she’d kill her, is practically laughable in Vi’s POV. “Don’t worry, she’s not distracted.” ;)
Her finger gun there wasn't just from the intro scene. In episode 5 we see them exchanging their secret handshake which involves giving each other finger guns with the same Pchooo noise she makes as she says goodbye to Jinx.
“that’s a little much” to her spitting on cait is crazy😭😭 that girl socked the shit out of her with her rifle last time they saw eachother lol let her have this
surprising calm and composed mosco.... i fel betrayed! I an not doing well wish isha sacrifice(and everything included the whole Jinx angle and Vander too) sof ar i cried with a least one loud grasp to every single reaction and analysis so far sometimes with just a comment is enough to make me cry a second on this pace i will began to count who many times i cried in the dozens
I don't think Embessa's guard guy was a mage. I think the idea is he's specialized in mage *hunting* , especially considering Embessa's got beef with the black rose, which seems to consist of mages. It looks to me like the runes on his weapon are designed to absorb magical energy.
Well... I finished Act 3. I'm not gonna say anything, but it better not take another 3 years for the spin-off. Now, as I cancel my Netflix subscription, Mosco and Elijah's reactions are all I have to look forward to.
Ok, but tell me why the first moment when I saw Viktor's little happy village my brain went "That looks so Midsommar - like." Also - I HATED Jayce for what he did here but let's just say all my hooks are off him after seeing the last 3 episodes. And don't worry about the Maddie thing.
Ambessa's man wasn't a mage per se, the only magic they have is protection against it. Their culture is a 'victory through strength' kinda thing, and magic is cheating. Someone added Running Up That Hill to Isha's last run. I doubt there's a better choice.
Magic is not cheating in Noxus, everyone has a place in the Empire, be it soldier, merchant, artisan or mage, as long as they are "strong" enough to take their place. Noxus is a fair and true meritocracy. The Black Rose's mages are the only outliners, since they break that ideology and control the Empire from the shadows.
From the smeghead in black metal that killed everyone as soon as he was in it, to the current emnity with the Black Rose, suggests otherwise. Noxan heroes in the game don't use it, and the only mages in the region that do, fight against the nation. But I'll admit, it's been a long time since I paid much attention to the game itself.
Ambessa’s right hand spear man (I can never remember his name) isn’t a mage. I think you know that, but I just want to make sure lol. I’m pretty sure the tablets were stolen from the Black Rose to use against them, though don’t quote me on that.
3:14 oh wait no it’s this episode I took a little break from watching reactions and somehow forgot no she doesn’t know no! Stop! Mosco of the past! Somebody stop her!!!
Is Isha dead? No, I found the evidence. Episode 6's ending is ambiguous. There is a chance Isha may not be dead, but several vital clues point towards her death being permanent.
i don't get reactors who pause the media they're "engaging" with to try and big brain a story and overthink things. Like. Just try and enjoy the ride, quit kicking yourself out of the moment.
Caitlyn be like: "...and then you spit on my face. Trust me VI, it's absolutely essential for our plan..."
"... and then I'll wipe the spit directly into my mouth, because reasons..."
@@otto1449 very. It just can’t be completed without it. The plan would have failed without it.
@@thatsimple_simp Exactly.

Cait probably licked her hand when she wiped it to her mouth lol
@Grey-the-gey hard same for me too!
Also, love the handle btw
@XOISHTAR thanks :)
It was born out of the fact that people kept accidentally calling me gay instead of grey, and then it just became a nickname xD
19:00 “And they all lived happily ever after. The End.”
Always the optimist in denial aren’t ya lassie?
Mosco is the first reactor I've seen that got why Isha took the gems from the gauntlets. She saw that Jinx took hers, and put 2 and 2 together, because she was bright, and observant.

3:50 - Rictus is not a mage, but the opposite. He's someone who fights against mages with a weapon that nullifies magical powers. When Ambessa says "mages", the focus is on the runes that absorb the Arcane power and render Rictus resistant to spells and Hextech.
Caitlyn: Don't forget to spit on my face. It's crucial to the plan.
"You must spit on my face. She won't believe it otherwise so you have to spit on my face like you hate me a lot. Looking into my eyes. Maybe growling too."
When Vi touches foreheads with Warwick, she says, “We’re gonna get you out,” to Vander, just like in episode three!
Isha's sacrifice broke me in more ways than I thought possible. The saddest part is since she never spoke, Jinx won't even be able to hold onto her as a voice in her head.
22:05 She puts THREE in. One from the gun, and both of the ones from Vi's gauntlets. This mirrors season 1 ep 3 where Powder put three in the little monkey and made the big boom.
Technically two IN the monkey. The third was outside between the cymbals to act as a primer.
@@The_Game_Professor Yeah I oversimplified outta laziness. Thanks for clarifying. :)
Technically, she put 2 in. 1 was put in already by jinx. But knew what you meant.
I wonder if Vi’s three rules she learned from Vander about trust have to do with two things. One, her “shut up” lesson to Mylo. And two, her lesson to Caitlyn about “letting people think you have what they want.”

Jinx was talking about the four of them. Vi is the sentimental ex-con, a giant fur ball is Warwick, and two of Piltover’s most wanted is her and Isha.
"Ex-con" is short for Ex-Convict, aka former prisoner
19:00 Agreed Mosco. That was the perfect happy ending that Amanda wrote. I mean, the family is back together so show’s over right? Right?!

@@sakurap95oh wow
Jayce saw a family happily reunited and decided, "Yeah, no."

The moment I saw this episode, I KNEW it was going to shatter everybody
I will say it until I'm blue in the face: No one was ready. That now applies to both this episode and the finale.
I legit screamed “NIGGA WHAT” when isha was sacrificed 😭
Isha is a good representation of Powder and young Vi. Her eyes are neither pink or blue, but yellow. Isha stole Vi’s gemstones from her gauntlets along with Jinx’s gem from her pistol.

Isha shall always be remembered. Our precious baby.
I like how you and Elijah have completely opposing analysis about Viktor and Jayce's dynamic in this act.
"You're about to rip all this away from us aren't you" 🙂well...
The blood used in the camp to lure Vander is Singed's specifically. We can see him filling the container with it moments earlier. Because he put some of his blood into the beast as he was making it back in episode 3, they have a special connection and the scent of it lures him more strongly and from further away than anyone else's blood would
"NOT THE BABY?!"
Is this the Amphibia reference?
You know you're old when people start asking "is this an Amphibia reference?" and not "is this a Dinosaurs reference?" 😅
The way I screamed “OH MY GOD HE KILLED JESUS” 19:39
Couldn't help but laugh when she said it was time for Victor and Jayce to have a nice long chat 😂
The way Jinx asks, “We?” to Vi twice in different contexts, and Vi smiles for the first time in forever!
I sort of wish Vi and Jinx got a chance to hold hands or side hug each other at the “grave” where their house was, on their own, without Vander, to show their relationship is healing. Maybe in act three?
Plus, Vi punching Caitlyn’s net at Ambessa to show they are working together again! Wow!
Vander’s memories of the girls as so cute! And how they blend into Vi’s memories are so sweet!
Who didn't cry watching this episode?
Me… I already prepared myself for the inevitable… yes it was still a bit of a fight to hold back the tears but I got through it by being upset with Jayce…
I didn't, but that says more about my repression than my self-control. It's not something to brag about.
Can't wait to watch the episodes tonight for my birthday after dinner with family then I will watch these reactions because based on the thumbnail it's a good one so can't wait
Vander isnt actually their dad, he said in the flashback last episode if she told someone else yet, who is their actual dad, we saw him in the montage of vanders past memories this episode too
Powder became jinx, jinx met isha and isha became a mini jinx. . . Now she is powder
Vi getting interrogated by Ambessa is so good! Vi would be perfect for Noxus but Vi is too rebellious in spirit.
But Vi knows, unlike Ambessa, that Caitlyn is also rebellious in spirit too.
And the fact Ambessa chooses to tell Vi that she did steal Caitlyn’s heart as though this would hurt Vi before she’d kill her, is practically laughable in Vi’s POV.
“Don’t worry, she’s not distracted.” ;)
The one thing that struck me as soon as I saw the artstyle change when showing Vander's memories: watercolors are fragile.
Memories are fragile.
Hi, Mosco, Hamish the Human here. Am with you, Isha’s death broke me in so many ways and into so many pieces too!
When you said, "They all lived happily ever after," you literally Jinxed it
Her finger gun there wasn't just from the intro scene. In episode 5 we see them exchanging their secret handshake which involves giving each other finger guns with the same Pchooo noise she makes as she says goodbye to Jinx.
This was sad, yet the next episode was the only one that made me cry. A lot
22:21 That reaction from you is enough to make me cry again 😭😭😭😭
That sarcasm at 19:00 was smooth.... 🤣
Before the ending I thought you where going to call Elijah and say that you needed a hug.
I was about to go to sleep (00:00 in my country) but I guess I'll watch
“NOT THE BABY!” - Amphibia
The ending of this episode broke me so much, can’t wait for your reactions to Act 3 ❤
I like your shirt! 😆
“that’s a little much” to her spitting on cait is crazy😭😭 that girl socked the shit out of her with her rifle last time they saw eachother lol let her have this
Cait wiped Vi's spit right across her mouth
Isha’s name means ‘the one who protects.’ She protected the one that matters to her.
Wow im early for a change. 6 min ago.
Loved this episode. Viktor said the thing and the song ripped my heart out.
Honestly, I expect that by taking in Isha, Jinx had a better appreciation for Vi as a big sister.
OMG
Felicia… “Fel-isha”… Isha…
🤯
Vander’s monster music plays as he loses himself to Warwick. No!
"What happens no-" MORE HEARTBREAK!!! MORE HEART BREAK HAPPENS!!!
My theory about the blood that Warwick is triggered by is blood that comes from a fight or aggressive act.
How does it hurt more watching Mosco hurt than the first time watching the episode myself? 😭
surprising calm and composed mosco.... i fel betrayed!
I an not doing well wish isha sacrifice(and everything included the whole Jinx angle and Vander too) sof ar i cried with a least one loud grasp to every single reaction and analysis so far sometimes with just a comment is enough to make me cry a second on this pace i will began to count who many times i cried in the dozens

Isha wanted to become like Jinx
but in the end she turned into powder
Don't worry guys, Isha's fine. A fine mist.
Jayce killing Viktor was a real bastard move on his part especially when Warwick returned but he went Berserk!

There's a certain ninety-second stretch of the show I have a small but bright hope Elijah and Mosco will watch and react to together.

At the end of this episode I said, "no, no, no, no..." at least 20 times
We are the borg

I’m pretty sure the tablets were stolen from the Black Rose to use against them, though don’t quote me on that.
And Jayce had to ruin things for the Vander family once again.
The mage guy is possibly the worst possible description of Rictus possible.
Okay, but dark vi as a aesthetic, is hot 😅
You call her baby too? Your gf Elijah calls Isha "Baby Blue" because she's small and has blue hair.
RIP Rictus you will be missed
It was three hex cores, I'm afraid.

You have to react to Cobra Kai pleeeeease me and my fam watch it and it’s so good and exciting so please.

Everyone engages in media how they like, but I'll say that it is funny when they do that only for the next scene to explain and/or make it clean
