If you think about it, its not even ironic. The only person who wasnt controlled by his past or future was able to control his time, even for a just a few seconds
@@13TheKeyOfDestiny A very good point! Everybody kept trying to seek control of the future, but Ekko knew he had to succeed in the present to ensure it
The colors he see's in the sky even match Powder's color pallet, too good. That scene in ep 7 might be the most intense emotion I've felt from a show. That feeling you get when you wake up from a dream that you wanted to stay in forever.
Yeah, the artists and writers are something else. Every frame there is an Easter egg or reference. That lightning and flash of pink in a dark but pale blue sky. It is less than a second and you would need video editing software to see this literally frame by frame but just normal viewing of it as a composition gives you the feeling something is there.
Definitely the best of the season. Not sure if I can say best of the show but it's top 3 for sure. Really shows what could have been. For both the characters and the show as a whole if they hadn't tried to do so much in one season.
Ofc Ekko was able to resist the Hexcore. This guy built and led an entire faction when he was just a kid. Despite the odds against Silco he never gave up on trying to help his people. He abandoned his dream of a better future in the other timeline so he can save an objectively worse timeline. He never truly gave up on Powder or on hope. A true hero
it is interesting how the whole show started with ekko giving a tip that resulted in the explotion and leading to jayce and viktor partnering. and the show also ended with Ekko, the boy saviour
My favorite part about this scene is when Viktor says, "That device can't be." Which means Ekko and Heimerdinger literally created something that CANNOT EXIST in their world. That's why when the strands of light started coming down from the sky, it missed Ekko. He is literally living "out of time." He's a ghost to Viktor's gaze because he and Jayce are the only two that have been "touched" by the arcane. It just goes to show that if he didn't return from the wild rune, his world would have been destroyed. He unironically saved the world. copied from @Mogglen in another video
@blackberry6610 I think it's because of the ruins, remember Viktor had to give Jayce different ruins after each timeline. He did this till he had given Jayce the one that would break the cycle. My theory is, that this ruin was the one that worked for Ekko and his time machine. I believe the previous ruins did not allow Ekko to complete the machine, so he got stuck in the other timeline till it Viktor turned back the clock again.
@@blackberry6610 I don't think the other Ekkos stayed with her because they wanted to, like the comment above me said, Ekko and Heimer found out about timetraveling when Ekko reversed Jayce's acceleration rune, which is the rune Viktor (as the mysterious mage) gave to little Jayce. So Viktor kept trying different possibilities until he found the one were Jayce can bring him back his humanity, which happens to be the one were Ekko is able to experiment with the correct rune and go back to his time.
The dance scene between Ekko and Powder is animated at 4 frames per second, 4 seconds being the limit for Ekko's time loop device. Top tier animation, truly.
I dont wanna make anyone cry but with that info, it just convince me that ekko wants to repeat and cherish every single second. To "stay" in the moment. 🥲🥲🥲
Wait till everyone discovers that in S1 ep 7 Ekko stops, recognizing the Powder left in Jinx through their battle and her eyes, at exactly 4:44 to the end of the episode 💀❤️🔥
Viktor says that everyone (that he has captured) wanted a better life, Ekko saw and lived that better life and rejected it once. He did again here. It is literally there, that was the purpose of E7. I loved this.
also plot armor actually. heimerdinger also crank up the crystal. but he got evaporated. while ekko there, still alive. such plot armor like how naruto still survives because of kurama's chakra
@@DBT1007 Media and comprehension illiteracy is astounding. This will sound condosending, I apologize for that, but there is no way I can do it differently. While building Z-Drive Ekko is the one setting the timer and pulling the cord. Persond doing that is transported along with the Z-Drive back in time. I hope you are following this far and its not too complicated. When testing the limits of the Z-Drive, after the 4 second mark reality started tearing itself apart. Going beyond 4 second does not cause the user to evaporate. It targets everything. Evaporation is just a side effect of reality breaking. You can see that, when Ekko goes beyond there is a blast around him in the background that pushes away hextech puppets. Still here? Good job. Its not plot armor, its good writing. Ekko has only vague idea of effects of Z-Drive. As far as he knows he is somewhat protected from timelooping effects when he uses the device (thats not full certainty). Limit is 4 seconds due to possible casulties around him and all that reality breaking. Him going beyond 4 sec is a gamble. That move could've just kill Jayce, Viktor or everyone in piltover. Its luck that it didnt but there was simply no other way. OP explained to you why he resisted the grab Edit: Heimer didnt grab the crystal. He turned teh device on by pluging the cable. Inside Anomaly is presumably safe zone. He got targeted (presumably) by the blast specifically becuase he was not from that reality and the energy was trying to bring all the things to "main" Arcane from ep7 Arcane.
imo ekko always has been the mvp. most other characters dwell on dramas about their pasts or future. he kept his head straight, focused on the present and takes care of the business while most others stumble
Although it would have been kinda nice to have that scene included, I don't think it was necessary to put the whole scene again, since we already saw it and we can assume that was the exact thing he was thinking about and the reason why he wasn't brainwashed so quickly, maybe they could have add like a variation of that scene with Powder in just a few seconds, but then again I don't think it was necessary to do so.
USING A EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE OST IN THIS VIDEO IS STABBING ME IN THE SOULLLLL, THE FACT THAT THIS SCENE IS SO SIMILAR TO THE LANDRY AND TAXES SCENES MAKES ME WANNA CRYYY
He had the ending/future he deserved, and he threw it away for his reality/the present he has Ekko’s character has always been about living in the present while almost everyone else is stuck in the past (jinx/powder) or given tunnel vision by the future (councillor-heimendinger) it’s amazing to see that represented in this way. This story is not perfect, and season 2’s stories and arcs are potentially rushed, but by the machine herald it is peak
I mean, no story is "perfect", but i think that's the best way to represent Arcane, a story of flawed people fighting their past and traumas with lots of mistakes being made in the process. And i think that's sick
I think it may seem rushed because there's practically no fillers or something like that, and every episode is filled with only relevant and interesting events
I think what the soul grab did was as Viktor said "Open your eyes" as people's where always clouded by emotion. Ekko's eyes where open already, he saw past emotion and left the perfect life behind just to save his people.
Honestly now that i kinda realize Ekko is the only one of them all who truly understands the meaning of time, in a way that he himself can be considered an anomaly. Kinda bizarre. The boy savior :’)
I just realize that Ekko‘s origin background in game，saying he is always traveling in parallel universe, now it means that he is always looking for Powder, and he thinks in his universe, Powder really died😢
its so beautiful the fact that powder says i have never seen you give up on anything and in this moment he defice the arcane so he can go back and save everyone
Ekko has always been a favorite after reading his lore, his comic, and seeing the trailer. This is a young man who's had to repeatedly watch his loved ones die repeatedly and continues to fight to save them despite the odds. In those rare moments where he's not able to save them, he still looks to make the most of that time. He's a man with a great power but it's still never enough in many instances but he tries regardless.
Ekko was the only one thinking of saving everyone, instead of looking at what could have been. He even threw away his perfect world, to save everyone. Ekko truly is the "Boy Savior"
I clicked on this video expecting a short but concise breakdown of not-confirmed mechanics of time travel and the Arcane. Instead I got a very touching clip that somehow said so much more than a 30 minute video ever could.
My man, I'm already on my sixth rewatch of E07 and this is by far the best edit I've seen so far. It just made both 7th and 9th eps a 1000 times better 🔥
Same here! I've been rewatching Episode 7 over and over again too. Ekko has definitely become my favorite character. He could've stayed in such a beautiful world, but he never hesitated for a moment. He knew he had to return to his own world, no matter how broken it was, because there were people there who needed him
Selflessness, heroism, love, empathy. Every detail, the blue sky, the facial expressions, everything counts. Every word is chosen with care, everything is told with perfection. This is the magic of this show. Incredible story that was worth telling. Art that transcends the human being. Incredible. Just incredible. Ekko will remain in me all my life.
My theory as to how he managed to pull it off: When he was testing it before (in the other dimension) we saw Heimer die after 4 seconds, but Ekko himself was just fine. In this scene no one else is really around him, except the robots and Viktor. Sure, the bodies of others like Jayce are around but they are already under Viktors influence as he gets everyone into some sort of hive mind. So they are not “really” there (if that makes sense). Ekko, knowing the limit killed Heimer last time, pulls the clock back MORE because the first time he was not effected by it (he also needs to rewind back anyway to get out of their grasp). There is no one he really needs to worry about rn since if the impact kills anyone, it’ll probably just be the freaky robot things. Then he launches it at viktor since he’ll feel the impact of it as he didn’t rewind. Sadly it only somehow does 0.1 damage to him but it still worked in the end lol.
In my mind, I think the damage Echo’s device did was more spiritual than physical. I think it partially rewinded his state of mind back to before he was consumed by the idea of “Glorious Evolution,” giving Jayce the chance to connect to Victor and pull him out of what he had become.
Powder was there when he was testing the 4 second. My theory is that the Z Drive affects magical beings (yordles, Arcane Viktor) much harsher than normal beings. The Z Drive even left Ekko's hand and he did not get even a scratch from the magical explosion.
I mean bro literally had Raum picked up what seems like remnants of the Hexcore in Jayce's hammer so yeah...they definitely setting up the next series in Noxus
1:03, Son Lux's Everything Everywhere All At Once soundtrack is something special, and it's oddly fitting within the context of a character like Ekko burdened with the notion he lives in a worse version of events, but choosing to fight for what beauty remains in it.
And just when my heart was a little healed from the finale😭 What an incredible edit that honestly felt like it was part of the show. Ekko getting the extra motivation because the sky color reminding him of powdur make so much sense especially cuz he was the only one who was able to break out of the soul grab :,3
Ekko escaped because he touched the Arcane. He was not seen by viktor, if you watch carefully his "evolutions" did not move right after bc they only see a "light" as shown when Jayce is talking to Viktor. Watch it again and you all will realize that
Between that and Heimerdingers "make every moment count" i absolutely love how many of echos game voice lines they managed to get him to say without breaking the flow of any scenes just to cram a one liner in
It's because the countless lives are on the line, and it's also because of she being a part of it. Ekko, the boy savior can spend hours, days and years fighting for the seconds of others.
i think jayce and ekko didnt get the strings automatically attatched to them unlike everyone else because they were directly affected by the anomaly and had been to different realities exposed to those universes' own anomaly so it didn't detect them as part of its own reality, so ekko and jayce had much more resistance to viktor's influence
We got so much incredible storytelling and closure in this final episode. But Ekko was Robed! There were all the building blocks for gorgeous catharsis but they chose not to give us this glimpse!!! Thank you for this edit!! So so beautiful
Clicked this vid expecting it to be a quick analysis vid talking about some lore reason Ekko resisted. Instead, i got tears & reminded why Ekko's the best
This is one of the most beautiful edits, I've seen it's not one of those edits oversaturated with effects and some other bs; it actually tries to tell a story.
When he was about to lose consciousness the clouds turned powder blue causing him to think of powder from the alternate timeline giving him strength to send time back even farther
Wow. What an incredible display of the power of editing. Just this simple splice together of two scenes I have already watched has moved me so strongly. Such a well done visual explanation of something that otherwise comes across as a more shallow character moment. Absolutely beautiful.
Just my idea, maybe Ekko was the only one to resist Victor's power because of his strong mentality. Let me elaborate. Everyone is focused in the passed and future thus the fear in their mind of what they might lose if they don't succeed. While Ekko never think twice for a second to lose everything that he have to save what he can at the moment, thus he was so focused on the present, connected to his power the time loop. He knows the importance of the present time. And so with him focusing his goal and focusing on the present, his mentality was the thing that made him resist Victor's power.
I find it so beautifully heartbreaking that the reason that scene was animated in 4 FPS is because it was supposed to be a memory for Ekko and symbolic of the max time loop on the device.
This is the most beautiful Arcane edit I have seen. Thank you for making this, it made me feel the exact same way I felt watching episode 7 in season 2.
Sometimes the heart remembers more then the brain.... This episode broke the heart. What could have been and what was lost. I hope she's alive anmd Echo finds her again. in what ever they bring out next.
I think Ekko and Jinks are probably my two favorite character designs in the show. All of the characters are done amazingly well, probably better than any animation I've ever seen. But Ekko and Jinks's expressions are a stand out for me. They really seem "real". I love the voice actors too.
Here's a little detail I spotted a while ago. If you pause at the right moment after Ekko turns the dial, you could see his eyes revert back to their normal color, showing the moment he rejected "paradise."
It's starting to rain

"It's a terrible day for rain"
Did she call my name?
@@jakespencer6781 thank you, i was gonna say that too XD

Ironic, Ekko, the boy who shattered time, was perhaps the only one concerned with the present, and gave up the past and perfect future.

It's already stated that they do lol @@MuhammadIrfan-oe5su
Well, based on where this show seems to fall in the timeline, this is not Swain but Raum himself
@@MuhammadIrfan-oe5su noxus and the asian counterpart of runeterra ionia i think
@@worldlinezero4783we can see the crow multiple times throughout the season, the last crow we saw had 3 eyes so it's most likely Swain himself
This is a real tearjerker man... You made this scene god-like.
1:03, Son Lux's Everything Everywhere All At Once soundtrack is something special, and it's oddly fitting within the context of a character like Ekko burdened with the notion he lives in a worse version of events, but choosing to fight for what beauty remains in it.
This is actually so good that it is worthy of being a part of episode 9. Bravo!
the way i held my breath when i thought ekko was going to die here. watching the desperate struggle to reverse time was breaking my heart
And just when my heart was a little healed from the finale😭
What an incredible edit that honestly felt like it was part of the show. Ekko getting the extra motivation because the sky color reminding him of powdur make so much sense especially cuz he was the only one who was able to break out of the soul grab :,3
Dude has the best episodes with the best and most popular scenes from both seasons.
Bro didn’t give up a perfect life to go out like that, bro was gonna make it worth the sacrifice.
Editing in Waymond Wang's theme in to this scene is so evil. You'll be paying for my therapy
"ive never seen you give up on anything ekko" indeed, that held true to the end
Ekko escaped because he touched the Arcane. He was not seen by viktor, if you watch carefully his "evolutions" did not move right after bc they only see a "light" as shown when Jayce is talking to Viktor. Watch it again and you all will realize that
Jayce touched the arcane too
You're wrong. Jayce touched the Arcane as well.
the fact that the song is called In Another Life is very fitting
That's cause he is a man of focus , commitment and sheer fuckin will!
he saw the defeated screen so he pressed ult and went back 4 seconds
( Amazing scene btw, this feels so sad knowing Ekko gave up heaven to save hell )
so sad that the "leap forward" was for everyone else and what he left behind was his perfect reality
man i really wanted to see him happy
Ekko traveled through time and space to solve the hardest task in the universe, talking to a women.
I was so excited to hear the "stay in one moment" line that it almost made me forget how much that episode was hurting my soul
Between that and Heimerdingers "make every moment count" i absolutely love how many of echos game voice lines they managed to get him to say without breaking the flow of any scenes just to cram a one liner in
How is this even more emotional
It's because the countless lives are on the line, and it's also because of she being a part of it. Ekko, the boy savior can spend hours, days and years fighting for the seconds of others.
Ekko is locked in! If the other reality wasn't able to contain Ekko, then of course, this too won't able to contain him.
This is literally what I thought, Viktor's grab is giving people their dream, and Ekko ..ok now Im crying
You just made this scene SO much better, man. I’m gonna go cry again now
The everything everywhere all at once music 😢
i think jayce and ekko didnt get the strings automatically attatched to them unlike everyone else because they were directly affected by the anomaly and had been to different realities exposed to those universes' own anomaly so it didn't detect them as part of its own reality, so ekko and jayce had much more resistance to viktor's influence
Ekko the most selfless guy in the series. He gave up everything, saved everyone and received no thanks
We got so much incredible storytelling and closure in this final episode. But Ekko was Robed! There were all the building blocks for gorgeous catharsis but they chose not to give us this glimpse!!!
Thank you for this edit!! So so beautiful
This was beautifully editted well done. But also damn you for making me feel these E7 feelings again.
Clicked this vid expecting it to be a quick analysis vid talking about some lore reason Ekko resisted. Instead, i got tears & reminded why Ekko's the best
Idk why, but the switch between both moments and how this video was edited really makes me emotional
This is one of the most beautiful edits, I've seen it's not one of those edits oversaturated with effects and some other bs; it actually tries to tell a story.
No words just the scene. Can’t show someone a perfect future when they’ve already seen theirs is actually a reality.
god this edit makes me cry... Our boy deserved so much more for LITERALLY SAVING THE WORLD
When he was about to lose consciousness the clouds turned powder blue causing him to think of powder from the alternate timeline giving him strength to send time back even farther
it is his WILL, his WILL is powerful
Wow. What an incredible display of the power of editing. Just this simple splice together of two scenes I have already watched has moved me so strongly. Such a well done visual explanation of something that otherwise comes across as a more shallow character moment. Absolutely beautiful.
Just my idea, maybe Ekko was the only one to resist Victor's power because of his strong mentality. Let me elaborate. Everyone is focused in the passed and future thus the fear in their mind of what they might lose if they don't succeed. While Ekko never think twice for a second to lose everything that he have to save what he can at the moment, thus he was so focused on the present, connected to his power the time loop. He knows the importance of the present time. And so with him focusing his goal and focusing on the present, his mentality was the thing that made him resist Victor's power.
I find it so beautifully heartbreaking that the reason that scene was animated in 4 FPS is because it was supposed to be a memory for Ekko and symbolic of the max time loop on the device.
Bro gave up a happy life, to protect his og universe. My man is a goddamn hero!
This is the most beautiful Arcane edit I have seen. Thank you for making this, it made me feel the exact same way I felt watching episode 7 in season 2.
cuz he's THAT guy, my guy
the peaceful time when ekko ,Heimerdingerr and Powder work together to create a unique device
Now I know why bro was absent for all of act 2... the writers were cooking
Cuz ekko has a strong willpower, always had it
Using the EEAAO soundtrack of the scene where Evelyn is realizing the beauties and lights of her life is really just Chef Kiss on top of this
just as beautiful as Ekko kept his promised to keep his memory not getting erased
"Promise I'll never forget this."
And that promise saved the world.
instantly started crying when i heard the everything everywhere all at once music
Ekko is a man of focus, commitment and sheer will
Sometimes the heart remembers more then the brain.... This episode broke the heart. What could have been and what was lost.
I hope she's alive anmd Echo finds her again. in what ever they bring out next.
The musical choice is perfect “in another life, I would’ve loved doing laundry and taxes with you”
this actually felt like it couldve been part of the show, made me want to cry
I think Ekko and Jinks are probably my two favorite character designs in the show. All of the characters are done amazingly well, probably better than any animation I've ever seen. But Ekko and Jinks's expressions are a stand out for me. They really seem "real". I love the voice actors too.
"Sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind"
-Alternate Universe Powder 😭😭
Here's a little detail I spotted a while ago. If you pause at the right moment after Ekko turns the dial, you could see his eyes revert back to their normal color, showing the moment he rejected "paradise."
I come back to this video everyday
Some souls are easier to grab than others. Ekko just happens to have a very slippery soul, very hard to grab onto. Like a wet noodle.
probably bro got better soul snatching from jinx
😂😂😂
fucking killed it man, was expecting a monologue, got probably the best edited answer
this is so beautifully made, I'm surprised the vid doesn't have more views
Thank you so much for this. In Another Life is probably the single best song you or anyone could have chosen for this and it fits so perfectly
Bro im crying, i was expecting some lore based conspiranoic theory man 😭
GOATED FOR CHOOSING EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE OST
our badass secret protagonist
Fr ekko came in clutch at the end.
Was NOT expecting to find EEAAO here. Lovely.
