LYRICS
I am the monster you created
You ripped out all my parts
And worst of all, for me to live,
I gotta kill the part of me that saw
That I needed you more
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
What Could Have Been
Oh, What Could Have Been
Why don’t you love who I am?
What we Could Have Been
I am your ghost, a fallen angel
You ripped out all my parts
I couldn’t care what invention you made me
‘Cause I, I was meant to be yours
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
What Could Have Been
From Arcane League of Legends, Soundtrack from the Animated Series
November 6 // November 13 // November 20
The #Arcane soundtrack drops in three releases.
Arcane is the definition of "We are all villains in someone else's story"
That's such a great take! I've seen the "nobody is black or white" cited a lot but I agree with this one way more. Really, even the most well-meaning characters are blamed for someone else's misery. Except poor Sky, she really did nothing wrong
Thats spot on. You should go back and look at Zaun in the 1st 3 episodes then compare it beyond that. The economy and infrastructure of the city is much better and overall quality of life improves the extremes are there with drug abuse of course. Shimmer is a fuel source in chemtech and tradable commodity he was smuggling out of Piltover to give Zaun more financial stability. Vander was like a rock weathering the storm unchanging but safe in its stagnation Silco was like water moving forward but with force eventually with change the land around it for good and bad.
It's the opposite of the dragon prince where everyone is a good guy that just made mistakes
Word bro, word
Except Ekko, he is perfect
"You cannot make a masterpiece based on a video-game"
Riot: "We'll show them, we will show them all!"
Lol
*Procceds to release it
@@AmericanIlluminati nice
Together with Castlevania
we'll show them all
Silco: "... Oh, it all make sense now, brother."
I love this line.
Chills
That whole scene when silco is sitting next to Vander's statue is amazing
@@foreveruseless1292 It only makes us think, what could've happened if Vander didn't betray Silco? If Silco would've learned of the price of sacrificing a daughter then?
What could've been?
@@Karanthaneos "what could have been" indeed
In the end silco understood what it means to have a daughter, why Vender couldn't do what silco asked, because he's a father 😭😭😭
No matter what his family comes first 😭😭😭😭😭
Everyone out here talking about the lyrics but damn did that violinist really put all his emotion into this.
ray chen is truly the goat ❤
I think the violinist is a reference to the concert that the counselors witnessed a few episodes ago...
@@_Harmony_ Well the violinist's visual in the concert in the show is based off Ray Chen.
My man ....exactly
Ray Chen is a god-tier violinist. Probably the best we will ever see in a few generations.
"I never would have given you to them. Not for anything."
*Lies down. Tries not to cry. Cries a lot.*
I. Have. Never. Thought. That Silcos death would be so sad... ;-;
"You are perfect"
Silco is making it hard for people to hate him
We all have mixed feelings for Silco
Lol Silco is word player. He literally fucked up Powder, made her become what she is now. She has messed up brain and now she just a psycho.
"Don't Cry, you're Perfect." - SILCO
i actually started to cry at this moment. Silcos last words hit me so hard. Then the music started and i was like "oh hell no,no sad song pls, i am already crying" Q_Q i cried to the very last moment of the show.
ı created 8D version this song, hope you like it -- th-cam.com/video/YTT_ff8wt8Q/w-d-xo.html
Now, i can't hate silco since he had talk with vander statue 😓
@@yosh3837 I couldn't hate him any time he looked at or spoke of Jinx. He really did love Jinx.
Cried so hard
This song was the perfect piece for the ending of episode 9.
This song getting approval from the CEO of Travis Gafford Industries™ means it must be good!
Yes T^T
Play the goodbye from ep3 and think about silcos last words to jinx and it eill hit you different
well all their music was custom made for the scenes so itd be weird if it didnt fit
the man travis
1:15 "why dont you love who i am?" always hits me hard no matter how often i listen to this.
Right there with you. 😢❤️
The best part 🥰🥰🥰
Same
If I was an actor, I can cry on command if I just think of this part or Silco's quote to Jinx.
"You changed too..........here's to the new us." Powder now Jinx
The sad thing about this scene that many people miss is that the rocket launcher looks like a shark with a evil eye like Silco. Remember how Silco had sharks and thought that they were beautiful? Jinx probably made that rocket launcher to gift to him. Now that he is gone the rocket launcher represents Silco, so whenever Jinx is talking with her rocket launcher she is actually talking to her father.
Same thing goes with her gatling gun Pow Pow that's named after the nickname Vi called Powder. So she is talking to her old self whenever she is talking to her gatling gun.
Man this comment just gave me chills, Riot really made a masterpiece
Damn I didn’t even connect fishbones with silco…
Yes, the rocket launcher was the gift, and the weapon she made for Silco that could utilise the hextech ball
Great ... Thanks for this comment. Now I can cry even more listening to this song and thinking about these scenes ; . ;
Fishbones, the name of the rocket launcher is based on one of the monsters Jinx or Vi made up when they were playing their game, which we learn through Vi and Cait's conversation after they get back to Piltover. We know this because we see a drawing of the launcher in her workshop next to a crayon scribble of the shark monster from her childhood, unless I saw something wrong. But yes she probably did add the evil eye as a reference to her father
People show their true colours in their last moments.
Silco: “don’t cry, you’re perfect.”
Grammar police here: you're
@@Nevenblue No grammar police, just common sense...
@@Nevenblue thank you for being somewhat polite, I’ve changed it.
The death is often the moment where a character "pays for his sins" and, as such, is often the most beautiful
Y'oure so right
The ending scene was just phenomenal. Riot has made history
Not even the sixth sense ending gave me the feels as much as this did.
Bro one of the best endings ever to a season
they become standart setters for the generations to come....as simple as that
It was simply amazing
indeed they have. Woke is down, and passion is the new black.
This song is so perfect because is not aimed to some specific character, but to ALL of them
One thing I noticed when scrolling through this comment section is that everyone has their own interpretation as to what the song means and who it's about, and _every one of them_ makes sense and is really meaningful and deep. That's the signature of true art.
The creators may not realize this, but they're going down in history.
It really does. Some of the lines feel odd to be coming from Jinx, but all of them from Victor to Caitlin fix in some regard. Which.. yeah. That final scene is a perfection coalesence of "What could have been".
I feel like that’s Jinx who sings…
It could be literally the alternative theme song of the show besides Enemy.
@@davidnighten5553 arcane is no doubt coming to my "greatest/favourite of all times" list with aot star wars and undertale. (Why the heck do I like tragedy so much)
The parallel between Vander and Silco is astonishing to me. They both sought to free Zaun from it's Piltovin oppressors. Both led a bloody revolution. But the greatest commonality between the two, is that they both lost sight of the cause in favor of saving their daughters. For Vander it was Vi, for Silco it was Jinx. The cycle of oppressed to revolutionary to father figure is quite impressive. Well done Riot, well done.
the thing is Silco called vander weak for not being able to sucrifice Vi for the cause and hated him for that, but when he needed to do the same with Jinx he found out he can't do it neither.
in this scene where he sits near Vander's statue he understands he treated Vander wrong, and that's what makes him the best character of the series imo.
THAT is how you make character development
@@itayker22 agreed. After watching a trailer fo the first time I saw Silco as a typical scarecrow 1 dimensional villain... I ended up respecting the character so much, I was astonished.
And people complain about the ending... chesus, the characters are written and displayed in such a detail it blew my mind. I mostly see that in great books, I dont know when last i saw an anime/ a movie such as Arcane.
@@KaiReel23 my ppl. I found you. The lyrics are the story too. And i need more time to discuss its impact. The show leave’s me stunned into silence while my insides explode with rage and emotion. I am not the same. And these characters are somehow more human than some actual ppl.
Witch makes it all the more sad to see they would have succeed in the end. Zaun could have been freed. Untill Jinxed messed up, what could have been.
For Vender it was all of them: Vi, Powder, Mylo and Clagg, Benzo, Ekko, his people.
He reminded Vi to protect the family, because all of them were their family. Silco founded a family when adopting Jinx.
Imagine being criticized by your flaws your whole life and then you are hit by "Don't cry, you are Perfect" by someone who loves you. That feeling is indescribable
And then you realize they say that just as they bleed out. And it is truly indescribable 😔
But like logically speaking, any criticism she’s received is valid, she needs like 20 years worth of therapy
@@theamazingwebhead6453 Somehow Zaun doesn't strike me as the kind of place where one can get therapy, unfortunately. Maybe lockup-for-life, if not an outright grave.
@@nonamegiven19xx Yeah, I’d have to agree with you there, Zaun definitely doesn’t seem like the place that offers therapy.
And that person is killed by you..
I never thought Jinx's silliest ult would make me feel so much. Riot really created a masterpiece
She even went for the Pentakill (at least :D)
@@bernhardstil6128 If we count all the councilors and viktor she went straight for the octakill
@@andreipoplauschi180 Damn, girl is greedy. Leave something for the team.
@@bernhardstil6128 i mean, she's the adc so it's fair
Gonna have ptsd when jinx ults in game for a few weeks now
“I want you to hurt like you hurt me today” this words hit me like a knife in my heart. Amazing song. Amazing show.
I wanna use these words on someone who hurt me in the past.
I want you to lose like I lose when I play -my thoughts playing non ADC against enemy ADC
Vocal stabbing
Ironically Jinx brought that to herself that day
You're telling me this is sting? Like Sting Sting? Like every breath you take, shape of my heart Sting? Wow. Phenomenal
Yes, he’s 70…and still sounds absolutely incredible…his music is perfect.
Dude I've just found out and I'm impressed as well!
Whaaat? Incredible
And my music teacher once played with Sting... Incredible
Shape of my heart is my fave song
"Don't cry, you're perfect."
I will cry and this masterpiece is perfect 😭😭😭
Sameee
I think he said that because he knew she felt guilty about the deaths of Mylo and Claggor and therefore didn't want her to do the same thing about him too.
@@reyrey4673 Powder/Jinx have signs of bpd essentially a deep fear of abandonment. It usually leads to a lack of self worth and being overly critical of oneself. With her guilt added on top it manifested as mainly Mylo criticizing and belittling Jinx about her failures and weaknesses at every turn. Silco probably had some idea and was always a supportive voice in the storm.
Yes.
@Feta how dare u to write this here
Just finished ACT 3 and I am completely shook.
Thank you Riot Games Music for elevating this amazing series with Epic and Phenomenal Soundtrack and Songs.
Entering post-series depression now...
Ayy Samuel the goat. Expecting some Act 3 remixes!
You are not the only one being shocked
withdrawal is hard my guy.
Ngl silco’s death really made this song hit 10x harder
@@dragonslayer3631 I never thought I was moved by his death
I adore the decision to cut the music before the final line. I can still hear the cracking window whenever I listen to the song as it cuts to just Sting's voice. Gives me shivers
They did the same with ekko Vs jinx, the music stops when the flashback stops, you just get the fight in silence, much more impactful, no fun, no holds barred, just two old friends fighting to kill eachother
@@ragnarian yeah!! They use music really well, even when they're not using it. It's really effective and speaks wonders of the skill of the editors who put it all together
Hahaha me too!!! I'm heard the glass breaking
true, seriously can't listen to this song without hearing a crack before "what could've been" lol
This is why ladies and gentlemen, why you need patience in making things! 6 Years in the making of Arcane and the result was masterpiece~!
I agree with that, by taking the time they created a masterpiece and I loved every moment of it, that I rewatched it, and this song is so perfect
True. I've watched 1000+ anime by now, and Western cartoons never come close to most of them. But this was a masterpiece. It deserves a place alongside the very best anime I've ever watched. I was truly surprised and in awe.
This also a great example of a studio just letting the writers do their thing without demanding they do things to try to appease certain groups.
@@AniMageNeBy TRUUU, IVE FOUND NOTHING AMERCIAN MADE HAS MATCHED ANIME except this
@@AniMageNeBy agree. The only thing that can touch the best anime for me alongside Arcane is Star Wars the clone wars... and that show had a budget of 1 million dollars per episode!
"Don't cry, you're perfect." The final scence, broke me. This series is a masterpiece. Good job, Riot Games.
Yes
And fortiche
I wish Silco didn't die but it was needed for jinx🥲
@@Rei-tm3so yeah tbh theres a fuckton of development there for him but we needed Silco to have Jinx as Vander is to Vi
@@BeardedWolfKing fax, but i still believe riot has better ideas tbh
I don't think I've EVER loved a show as much as I do this one. Bravo, Riot. Bravo.
I know right? Its fucking perfect.
bravo Fortiche more like, they're the animation studio behind this series
for real man
@@cazonirobert3621 This Series is much more than just the animation. The writing, the music, the general source material, all of these have different people behind it. It's an enormous collaboration of a ton of talented people, everything being orchestrated by Riot. But yeah, Fortiche, the french studio behind the animation, is a big part of it, and they did a mind-blowing job.
@@cazonirobert3621 There's nothing to animate if characters and lore weren't made, hence, bravo Riot.
Fortiche IS the shit tho!
This song is absolutely insane. This entire show is absolutely insane. I can't believe all this came out of League of Legends of all things, but I am so grateful I got to see it and hear this soul crushing piece of music. Hats off to Sting, Ray Chen, and everybody who worked on Arcane. This show is truly something special.
Hi~
lol toxic? what??? no way!!!
Every piece of lore in runeterra is made with love and it shows it 100X in arcane
@Rance your comment combined with a Klee pfp worries me
@Rance well if it's a serious question I'd say either like any normal human or like fire.
While Jinx went crazy and become a monster through the show, Silco become closer to Vander that he used to blame for being soft. Now, the last thing Silco did was reassure his daughter. The ending is just had me shock, but boy I love the show so much. The visual was so beautiful.
He still created a monster in trying to give Zaun freedom. In the end he lost and had to abandon his daughter. Silco and Jinx are such tragic characters - and to create them in 9 episodes is just beyond talented.
@@bernhardstil6128 he didn't create a monster. He reasudred and accepted a child who displayed symptoms of mental instability even before Vi abandoned her.
Like Jinx tells Vi. "Silco didn't make me. You did."
@@nonamegiven19xx True - but we all know what comes next. Silco tried but failed. He needed Jinx to be let out - but he did not know to put the lid back on. Maybe "created" is the wrong word - he watched her going mad, fully aware of what she would become.
@@nonamegiven19xx Vi never abandoned Powder, though. She walked like 30ft away to be alone after everything that just happened, then was knocked out. Vi would have always accepted Powder, and I believe she still does.
@@bernhardstil6128 I think one can argue that the violence of his methods tilted Jinx towards violence, but its not like the lanes are really peaceful anyway. There's no question Vander would have been the best influence, but between a mad, defenseless Powder and a mad but well-defended Jinx, Silco made his choice and I am not sure it's the wrong one.
The violin proven to be the ultimate instrument once more.
I dunno man, the hurdy gurdy is something otherworldly, even if not used in most media. The violin here absolutely was amazing though.
@@NazzyDragon ngl that slaps too
Ling Ling approves
its a great instrument but i wouldnt say its better than many others. they all have their strengths. and here its shown how strong a violin can be.

"But worst of all for me to live I gotta kill the part of me that saw that I needed you more"
This show broke me and put me back together over and over. This song is seared into my soul.
Dang, I always thought that he said "and I need you to mourn." Either way, the song is so tragic (yet the elegant vocals make it so enticing to learn how to sing)
In my humble opinion one of the strongest lines of this song.
On some thought, I realized what I think makes Silco such an amazing villain.
Most villains in-story arc fall into one of three categories. They're either evil because EVIL, and just are that way (static), are good and then something corrupts them (dynamic, corruption arc), or are evil and then something changes them for the better (dynamic, redemption arc). Silco is...not really any of these. Or at least, the story doesn't follow these arcs for him.
His arc is actually conveniently summarized in one of the show's best lines, "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?"
His character arc is vulnerability. We watch his goals collapse, and ultimately die. Not because of anything the "good guys" did to stop and vanquish him, but because his love for Jinx, his daughter, had him dropping more and more guards. We didn't watch him become "good", guy was willing to let basically anything but Jinx burn and rot. We didn't watch him "become" loving, he was already loving. That's why betrayal hurt him so much. What we watched was him become "vulnerable".
Started as a hug from a desperate little girl, ended as a gunshot from the young woman he trusted more than anyone. And even in death, he held that vulnerability and softness for her.
Personally I never really saw him as a villain but more of an anti hero, a man who once started as a hero along side Vander that who only wanted to do what's best for their ppl, but simply lost his way as time went on. That is until he met powder and finally understood why Vander made the decision to throw everything out the window to protect the ones he loves. He may be portrayed as a villain in the show but is none other but a broken man who lost his way.
Damn I rambled there for a bit😂
Not only that.
In one of his very first scenes, he tells the guy who he's about to turn into a monster that power comes from those who'd do anything to achieve it.
Throughout the episodes after the first Act, we see him slowly lose that power he fought all his life to get by showing that he wasn't ready to do anything for his cause anymore. He had something holding him back : his love for his daughter, Jinx.
At the end, his very last words, he mutters that he would have never given up on Jinx. That's where he lost. His power crumbled because he wasn't ready to do anything for it anymore. In his selfish rage and fear of losing Jinx to Vi, he made a move that the old Silco would have never done : by trying to kill Vi for his selfish need to have Jinx by his side, he undid everything he'd worked for his entire life. By this simple action, he singlehandedly destroyed his ambition to create the Nation of Zaun he so desperately wanted. The old Silco would have manipulated his way out of this situation differently. He would have lied if he had needed to. He wouldn't have felt the need to pick up the gun and try to shoot Vi whilst she was trying to talk sense into whichever was left of Powder.
His love for Jinx was his undoing, in the end. And that's a powerful message. This series wins on so many levels.
As Deibido said he is an antihero. Who in the end ends up being the same as Vander, who he originally saw as weak and flawed. Its a self fulfilling cycle. Thats why the scene where Silco drinking to Vander is a tear jerker. Because he recognises that he shouldn't have done what he did to his brother, because his brother was doing the exact same thing he is doing now.
@@raldrid8264 Exactly. In fact, we have all the reasons to believe Vander could have gone through the same process as Silco.
@@Zedem0n given the lines Silco spoke to Vanders statue I agree. And the Silco we see at the end, is the Vander we see at the start.
I don't play League, but hot damn that is one of the best written and animated stories coming from a game adaptation. As bad as Silco is, he was the only one accepted Jinx for who she is and understood why Vander went soft for his kids, while Vi had time stopped for her by being in prison and still wants her Powder back, wanting to make up for the moment they were separated, not realizing Jinx is Powder. This is one of the best written tragedies I've seen for the modern audience.
Just a warning my man... dont play it , we all wish the balance team was a 10th as good as the team that made this masterpiece
You could say it's THE best fiction story from a game adaptation.
Only tragedy better written is the house in fata morgana
Same feeling exactly
It's a masterpiece, it blew my mind. It's been a while since the last time a book or a movie moved me like that - i think that's what i live for... masterpiece
The last thing Powder did was to kill Jinx’s father
The first thing Jinx did was to avenge him
What a brilliant show !!
And now both of them are abandoned and lonely. That's just heartbreaking
Avenge him? Who in the council was responsible for his death? lol
@@hereticmantra Heimerdinger is pretty much the only one with any actual responsibility, but he seems like the kind of person who've genuinely tried to help in the past. Medarda is too young to have anything to do with it, or at least anything impactful, and Jayce for obvious reasons has nothing to do with it. We don't really know much about the other black woman on the council, but the bearded guy just seems to go along with whoever he seems to like the most. The elvish looking guy I have no idea about. Kiramman (or however you spell it) doesn't really seem like the type to have ulterior motives either. Yeah, they were all outraged at the prospect of making the undercity an independent nation, but it seemed more like an issue with breech of protocol than a reluctancy to do it, as they quickly changed their mind.
@@krillep280 those in power (and especially those in power who are exploiting the poor under them) have an obligation to make the lives of those they have power over better. if they fail to do that, or make their lives worse (like how the council has had all this time to stop actively oppressing and exploiting zaun) then they are actively hurting those people. like it or not, their inaction on anything that matters (or direct, violent action like what jayce does) caused silco to be able to gain power, which is what killed vander. shimmer and the like wouldn't have had to be created if the undercity were supported at all (or just not horrifically oppressed) by the people that are supposed to care for them.
This is the moment Walther White became Jinx
When I am asked how music can be art, this. This is what it is. Pure art. Like I have never heard before
I'm speechless. How do we go back to our lives after that ?
Ikr… I hate shows or movies that are this good sometimes. It’s so hard to watch anything else lmao
They gave us a film that we can't anticipate what is the next scene or cliche that shocked the whole body
Great job Riot

dude the violine hit hard aswell
@@jokerssjokess4857 Yeah Ray Chen is great, top of his class.
Haven't heard Sting for years
@@arranli579 Sting is one of those artists who will venture into other genres of music. You should really check out his work with shaggy- especially Angel and It wasn’t me
you mean grammy right? arcane should get the emmy.. sting should get the grammy
in Arcane, nothing is either black or white, everything is different shades of grey. God this show deserves to be called a masterpiece. They've done everything right. The pacing, the music, the animation, the art, the fights, the political, the psychological and more. When a show makes you cry for the main villains of the story (Silco, and in the later stages, Jinx, although it's kinda hard and painful to call them villains), you can be damn sure that the show is good.
They probably retconned a few, or a lot things from the lore. But, I think, it's much better that way. The fact that nobody is a villain for the fun of it, and that everybody is actually human to some extent, and not purely evil or good, is something hard to accomplish, and a much more impressive feat. I also love that kind of concept.
Such a Camille take on things. Very Piltovan. Very Arcane.
@@CoreZeroPH Speaking who which, I guarantee we're gonna see Camille next season or in Season 3 and it's gonna be another highlight, if you know the lore, you know
Not really in all honesty. As a lore fan, I can say they got a lot of stuff right and since we didn't know much about the champions' past, we can't say they were wrong there either. One thing to note though. In the lore Jayce stole the Hextech invention as something he made on his own. While that's not what happened (both in Arcane and the Lore) Viktor never got recognition for his part in the invention so that's still very accurate to the lore. We just don't know how they became bitter enemies yet but that's something for the next seasons.
@@phoenixflamegames1 Jayce was still the creator of Hextech in the lore.... in fact Viktor and Jayce had their falling out well before Jayce even got his hands on the crystal so Viktor had no hand in the creation of Hextech. The only thing that changed was Jayce in his original lore didn't care about magic. He was also extremely arrogant because of his intelligence and was confused why anyone had difficulty with anything (since he never faced any challenges). It wasn't until he found the crystal that he realized his arrogance because the crystal was something he struggled to understand.
And in the near future that is also the point of Noxus and Demacia. One portrays itself as the pinnacle of honor and humanity while enslaving and torturing magic users ignoring the hypocrisy of their own city. And the other is portrayed and the cruel and unforgiving kingdom of conquest, that in reality has liberated many from underneath the thumbs of blue blood royalty however their methods are questionable.
everyone is, rightfully, talking about arcane
but wow the emotions and picture this song paints even without that context
its just... wow
The only word to describe this show is MASTERPIECE. Nothing short of a masterpiece
That's the exact word I used! One of the most beautiful and well done shows I've watched in a long time!!
Trueee
Would've watched it but it's tied to a game i really don't care about LoL
@@TimelessWolves it has nothing to do with the game except couple of names
@@TimelessWolves I tried LoL two years ago, played literally 5 minutes and then uninstalled it. Still, I decided to watch Arcane and it was one of the best series I've seen to this day. It's really incredible. Give it a try, even if you don't care about LoL. It's worth it
Everyone talks about Enemy and forgets about this powerful tearjerker
Seriously, what a perfect song to end the season on. Perfect choice.
I think Enemy is a great song but I love how many other great songs there are in the series. They also fit the moods displayed in the episodes perfectly!
@@beurtalvarez True, but still a song that will entertain for a little while!
@@beurtalvarez yeah that is totally understandable. It is fun to hear about songs and such from a different perspective through comments
@@beurtalvarez u2 mate!
It's because we neED THE ARCANE VERSION WITH THE ORCHESTRA AND STUFF
i get chills every time i hear this. I just see caitlyn screaming "No" as she sees the bomb, the bomb flying past the full moon, the lights going up in the council as they finally, finally were going to give Zaun its freedom...
Easily for me one of the best sequences and showcases of cinematography EVER.
I thought she was gonna blowup the moon, what a twist arcane did and the cliffhanger brooooo like I need more, now I'm curious if Jayce survive that blast
Even until the end, Jinx still jinxes everything
Here's the thing they wouldn't have gotten freedom or peace anyway because Silco was never going to give Jinx up to them. Since that was one of the stipulations for independence it would have never been achieved thus leading to more conflict. It was a lose lose situation.
The council in wich her Mom works btw...
Chills.
Totally down to wait another 6 years if season 2 hits just as hard as season 1. Absolutely worth it.
But 18 years for 3 seasons in total would be too much.
The sad reality that I'm starting to accept is that season 2 probably has no way of being as good as season 1, even more if we take into the account how hyped people will be, season 1 surprised most people with its quality, season 2 will have a lot to live up to in the public's mind.
@@Henrique-wv9xq Yep. It won't be about the second season anymore. It will be about the hype around it.
It probably won't, especially when they focus on other characters who are not in such a tragic relation to one another. The show hit that hard because of the tragic relation of the two sisters. This is so very tough to recreate, I would be surprised if they deliver the same quality with the story this time.
Just over a year now!
The Part Where They Throw back silco's Words: "We'll show them, We Will Show Them All"

Perfect Song
when do you hear them ?
@@overthinker6446 9 ep final scene
I don't know if I'm overthinking things, but I always interpreted it at as the motivation behind everyone: Jayce and Viktor wanted to prove the power of Hextech. Sevika wanted to prove that the Undercity wasn't weak. Jinx wanted to prove she wasn't weak. This line is kinda about everyone when you think about it.
The fact that it’s the last thing you hear before she pulls the trigger and forever destroys all chance of the peace that had become Silco’s final wish is just heartrending.
@@OneBiasedOpinion There was no chance at peace: the deal required that Silco hand over Jinx, and Silco was never going to do that. Even if Silco had lived, the council's vote would've been for nothing.
For me, what makes the line all the more heartrending is the implication that Jinx is thinking back on those words when she pulls the trigger, as it lines up with her shedding that tear and pulling the trigger; my guess is that the tear she shed when pulling the trigger was a tear shed for Silco, and her pulling the trigger was for Silco.
“We’ll show them… we will show them all” that hits hard

Such moving music... this was honestly the most perfect playlist to a series, with this song topping it off beautifully
First comment lmao how does thos have none
This music makes me cry every time I listen to it
Indeed
Facts. These songs are too perfect
They saved the best for the last episode.. Its like a dessert after meal.. loved this song..
I love that this song can be interpreted as not only Jinx talking to Vi, but also Silco talking to Vander, and even maybe Viktor to Jayce. It really applies to a lot of characters and thats beautiful.
Just what I was thinking
And city to city. Heimedinger and "Little Man" may represent the "what could've been" for both cities and I hope the writers will go in that direction with them.
Piltover to Zaun
@@mhiyamusic5769More like the other way around. Zaun was the poor section of the city, forced to do the menial work and live in squalor, with Enforcers sent down to brutally crush any dissent or unrest, while Piltover lived off the riches, the troubles below out of sight, out of mind. Silco's big plan was to have Zaun force Piltover to recognize what it's done and accept Zaun as an equal. Between the raids and the tit-for-tat violence, both sections of the once-united city are willing to go to war with each other. Jinx' last action in the season made that all but inevitable, even if it didn't kill anyone in the Council.
@@shadiafifi54 yes, the other way around, you're right i mixed them up :)
I actually can't believe they got Sting for this... The lineup of artists featured in Arcane is so stacked.
That's what I thought. Sting is one of the true greats. I would really like to know how they came to collab.

it's the same thing i felt when i was playing through Red Dead 2's Epilogue and Cruel Cruel World started playing. like i knew Rockstar had money but i didnt think theyd be able to get Willie Nelson lol.
RIP Silco. He was such a fleshed out character with incredible depth and personality. I loved him as a mob boss, mayor of a lawless city, a vengeful enemy, and a father trying to do his best for his daughter. The way he carried himself based on what he was doing, as if he put different shoes on, down to the way he talked based on who he was talking to. He was incredible in every aspect. His voice actor did an amazing job and so did whoever designed/created him.
Now that's how you make a villain, although it you understand his character well enough, it's hard to call him that.
It's cool how Silco mirrored Vander. As Vander wasn't willing to give up the kids in Act I, Silco wasn't going to give up Jinx in the end.
He's definitely a villain, there's no question about that given totality of his actions. But they had a point to them, you could understand his perspective enough though his methods oft crossed several lines on just a humanitarian level. Albeit, you understood where his ruthlessness came from. So, a villain he definitely was, the trope he'd fall under is that of an "Anti-Villain", the inverse of the "Anti-Hero" trope. An Anti-Hero being a heroic force for good that will use questionable methods, whereas the Anti-Villain an antagonistic force that has few scruples or lines they won't cross but will show that they are not just some mustache twirling evil-doer, but has a reason--even a very human and sympathetic one for why they do what they do even if they use ultimately cruel methods to achieve their goals.
@@Apillis124 You make a lot of good points! I suppose with objectivity in mind he certainly does classify as a villain even if some of his goals were righteous. I just find it difficult to classify him as a villain due to the circumstances Piltover put him in. Rather, the circumstances Piltover forced upon Zaun.
It's hard to say if there could have been an entirely moral way of solving the issue with all things in mind, although I think that discussion has been applied to politics for as along as they have existed. Perception, far reaching consequences, etc etc. That's kind of why cancel culture has had a field day with the legacies of historical leaders. Their methods and decisions were not infinitely moral, despite having achieved something great. I digress.
@@Zii_Vii Well, it wasn't Piltover that made him use live human test subjects to maladjust their bodies to the point of deformity and addiction en mass. It wasn't Piltover that made him decide to use child labor to mass produce Shimmer. It wasn't Piltover that made him raise a severely PTSD suffering child with severe schizophrenia and psychotic episodes to further embrace her psychosis worsening her condition. It wasn't Piltover that made him seek the murder of that girl's sister who was child themselves. He had a warped view and philosophy, there's no denying it. His cause for wanting more for the Lanes to become Zaun was not wrong, even extremely sympathetic given its conditions, but what he sought to do to get it was undeniably horrific by any standard. That's what makes it easy to call him a villain, but seeing and understanding why is what makes him an Anti-Villain.
The best villains are ones whom you can understand, and even empathize with when you consider their perspective, along with them having complicated morality. I don’t know how anyone could hear Silco’s last words to Jinx and not have their heart break.
This ending had me in tears. How the fuck are they just going to leave me like that?? How am i going to wait for season 2 now with this hole in my heart?
I absolutely agree that's terrible
If they leave it that way and moved on into a different region in the next season, then that's how the history why Piltover truly hates Zaun thus peace no longer becomes an option between two nations.
I doubt Season 2 will focus on Piltover and Zaun. This is pretty much how the story goes. Silko and Markus were the only ones who kept the peace after Vander died. It was far from perfect - more like dystopia for the Undercity and bliss for Piltover but it was peace. What would follow is even worse. And now Jinx is truly lost. Maybe thats how it is supposed to be.
@@bernhardstil6128 there's no way they'll move out of the Zaun and Piltover storyline. The only thing that was concluded was Jinx's and Vi's arc. They teased too much in the final act for them to not make a season 2 about them, how Viktor would be augmented, Warwick and Singed, Heimerdinger's possible involvement in Ekko's creation of the Z-Drive, Mel's mother and even the foreshadowing of Swain with all those crows and his in game quote against Jinx.
@@RikuHarada6996 Yeah they will return but I doubt it will be with the next Season. Why do I think that? Because this baby was 6 years in the making. While they worked on this they will most certainly have been writing the script for other characters and nations. Those are probably not to far behind in development and will get greenlit in the next few days - if it hasn't happened already.
Even if they speed up the process for Season 2 of Arcane it would take years to get it right (which I hope they will aim for). But you are right they will come back to tell the story of Warwick and Singed, Viktor and ofc Jinx and Vi (there is still enough in the Lore to return with all of the characters)
It will be worth the wait but I doubt it will be anytime soon.
Still can't believe they actually got Sting in this. I know a lot of people probably don't know him, but for those of us who do..... WOW.

I've never watched a series that occupied my mind as much as this one, even 2 weeks after finishing it. Truly wish I could experience it again for the first time
It hits you when you realize after finishing act 3 that this song isn't meant for Silco, it's meant for Vi.
"What could have been" deffinetly applies to all the main characters, just not every line.
That song doesnt apply to any Character perfectly.
Yeah, I didn't pick that up until the end of episode 3 because I actually listened to the soundtrack before I watched the show, but I didn't REALIZE it until Jinx said the line, "He didn't create Jinx. You did." Like... DAMN such an awesome show!
Yes, I realized it the second it played. That's obvious man
Honestly I think its about Jinx and her finally embracing herself while mourning the death of Powder
@@juliogomesdesouza9035 Not if you listen to it before watching the last act, that's what i was referring to because ny brother used to play it and having watched only first 3 eps, I always thought it's about Silco until the realization came while watching the last episode.
One of the saddest moments in the final episode was how Silco realized after all those years that his brother was doing the right thing all along. He couldn't understand Vander for giving up on their dream until he had a daughter himself.

For the first time in my life, I think a cliffhanger is somehow the best way to leave a show. I want to see more, but the season ended so perfectly as well.
im going to assume its going be about the war jinx pretty much started it right then and there but they could go anywere with it they can show what its going on in noxus theres alot of characters over there they can show
I completely agree. I will watch a second season if it ever comes out, but I'm sceptical they can match the quality of the first one.
Westworld should have been stoped after the first one, too.
Yeah part of me wishes they would leave it there and do a new story on another part of the map, like an anthology.

Hi~
@@mobysound3726 lol
It’s such a tragic show. To think all of the characters have backstories this deep… geez, I’d play league if it wasn’t so terrible and toxic. Poor Jinx lost not only her siblings (including Vi because of how they strayed apart in ideals over the years) but TWO father figures in addition to her birth parents. I could never imagine losing my family, but three times over? That’s soul-crushing. That leaves a person empty inside. I understand why she pulled the trigger, I just wish she could’ve been given the chance to see the good in Piltover and people like Caitlyn.
Try ruined king game
Legends of Runeterra or The Ruined King are great ways to experience the league world and characters without having to suffer trough the actual game.
just enjoy coop vs IA, it's not the same atmosphere
the actual game doesn't even have any lore, so LOR and Ruined King are really the only ones you gotta worry about
@@vyllix8546 LoL Lore evoolved a damn lot, they even have a good interactive map to use
1:17 "Why don't you love who I am?"
I can't explain how it just hit me hard.
Hi~
The way that it's sung really highlights Jinx's plea and desperation. She wanted nothing more than to be accepted by Vi as she had become. Different, but stronger for it, just like Vi told her all those years ago. But Vi couldn't, she only wanted Powder.
that part is my favorite
Can't believe we will see the aftermath of this soon.
ikkk it's gonna be insane
"Wrath must be met with wrath". I didn't expect Noxus to factor in this heavily. From the trailer, it looks like Mel's mom will be an important character.
It's crazy that this show had so much hype and expectations surrounding it, and it still managed to completely surpass anyone's wildest dreams of how good and successful it would be. Truly a masterpiece
ı created 8D version this songg, hope you like it -- th-cam.com/video/YTT_ff8wt8Q/w-d-xo.html
For real, i even raised expectations even higher after how banger act 1 was and act 2 still surpassed those with ease no need to mention act 3 it was a masterpiece
Im so sad Silco died. He was such a good character, had a great development. Him willing to throw away his dream, everything he ever wanted, for Jinx, such love.
He finally understood what it was like to be in the same spot as Vander
Silco was finally able to empathize with Vander as he experienced fatherhood by raising, caring, and loving Jinx like a daughter. Silco was met with a difficult decision - save his daughter or save his people. He chose his daughter.
Oddly enough I felt that he lied to Jinx, in order to "seal the deal," as it were, and ensure she took the path he wanted, instead of possibly letting Vi help. You can see his desperation as he counters Vi over and over; he's losing Jinx, losing his own dream, losing an ersatz daughter, wracked with shame and regret and staring death in the eye. I agree his character was very well done, but while he tried to care for her, he wanted his Jinx, not a real and healthy Powder/Jinx, and if she solidified that identity then his plans might work regardless of his death. He is a deeply selfish character. All that being said, I can certainly see the other side of it. I'd like to think he changed in those last moments, but I don't think he did. I think he used his last breaths on manipulation.
@@BenKingEagles Imho Silco is more sincere that this scene would make us believe. His scene at the vander statue just before was just pure despair of a man torn between his beloved daughter and the dream of his life. If Silco was selfish and breathing manipulation, I don't think he would have been so troubled by it.
Silco is the perfect cas of character begenning as completely black, then going lighter shades of gray every minute
@@matthieuzglurg6015 I can certainly see that scenario in the show, I'll grant you that. I just think that a manipulator, murderer and drug lord is unlikely to not continue just because he realizes in his final moments what was always important. It's easy to say you love someone when you don't have to, or can't, follow through. And let's be honest about Silco ... He murdered lots of people, some of them his own men, and while wanting to rule a new free state, he was also murdering and destroying people with shimmer. That doesn't just take a back seat cus you are dying, if anything it would likely cause a last gasp attempt to win. But I do see the other angle. Cheers
This song is a 3.5 minute knife turn in what is already such a tragic circumstance at the end of the season. Every tear this show squeezed from the audience is so well earned.
Sting and Ray Chen, I really want to thank you for this song. In the last 4 years my life fell completely apart. I was left almost completely alone. Many times even though I was around people who have known me for most of my life it felt like I was surrounded by no one who could have any idea of what I've been going thru on a daily basis, even to this day. This song was able to do something I couldn't, put into words, into an experience that comes close to what I have felt all these years, every day including in my dreams.
I feel you bro
Sting has the ability to touch emotions that we were not aware are even inside us. Keep the head up! You’ve got this! The dark days will pass one day

@@coltonfields6380 Colton, people say his just released new album The Bridge were the best he'd done in more than 20 years. Personally I think that's a bit unfair considering some great work he's put out in the meantime, outside the classic pop/rock genre, but maybe you care to check it out. "Rushing water" is the song that will remind you most of Police days, "If it's love" is more mainstream poppy (and therefore musically maybe a little boring) than anything on Ten Summoner's Tales, but there's a folk influence, some slow ballads, another of those 5/4 measure tracks (Harmony Road), a bit of electropop (Loving you), and generally a wide range of styles. I haven't watched Arcane but I just discovered this song just because I'm a Sting fan, and I always love how he's never afraid to go out of his way and try all kinds of styles and things. It's a cool track, even though I don't know the show's back story to it.

"I thought... maybe you could love me like you used to. Even though I'm.... different."
Those words from Jinx are gonna stick to me for a while. That's Jinx fully embracing her new persona when coming to the conclusion that Vi chose Caitlyn over her.
Because Vi essentially did. She couldn’t take two seconds to look at who her sister is now. She isn’t Powder and hasn’t been for years. Yet Caitlyn was somehow more valuable to her than her own blood. I’m fine with them being a couple but she JUST MET Caitlyn. Like less than a few weeks ago at this point.
When you say she chose Caitlyn, are you referring to when Vi said they'll both alone will go far away? Because I assumed she meant her and Jinx go away not Caitlyn
My conclusion is that Jinx thinks that shes too messed up to be loved and that Vi changed so much that she cant love her. On the other hand vi sees her sister as powder all the time, she cant accept the fact that this is not her lil sister
Since when she choose Caitlyn over Jinx?, she never chose Caitlyn, remember that she's said they're never meant to be...
Vi changed so much these past few years, so it might be why Jinx dissapointed...

story) , characters were well developped and the open ending is just perfect, after that rocket explodes what will happen to jayce and victor ? , is Noxus going to invade piltover ?, what about the new bond between heimer and ekko ?, vi and caitlyn ?, what will become of zaun and singed ? and for league players like me who know the lore we are just waiting for new characters to appear too like warwick or blitzcrank (im sure vander is warwick xD ) or other yordles like heimer :)
@@wadfanclub most likely they are already working on season 2
I think they're already working on season 2. I mean some netflix or riot executive must have had the foresight to greenlit a season 2 before they even aired season 1. I would like to believe they knew what an incredible show they made. At least I hope.
what i love about arcane is how all the characters feel like real people with their own motivations. the villains of the story are very understandable and fleshed out without becoming lazy sympathetic villains. i am looking at you phase 4 marvel and hollywood. silo and the people who work for him are obviously the bad guys in the series, but told in a way that if, you were in that characters shoes, would think you are doing what needed to be done. the series that needed no studio jokes or pop culture to make its story interesting and engaging.
I was a little late to watch Arcane, but today I finished the last episode. Wow, I’m just blown away by this show. What an amazing series and I can’t stop playing it’s beautiful soundtrack. It was an amazing journey and I can’t wait for season 2!
Ditto!!
Same dude. I finished the show for the first time two weeks ago & I’ve already rewatched it three more times. I just can’t get it out of my head. It’s a god damn masterpiece.
It's never too late to start watching an amazing series haha. I'm gonna rewatch it.
i watched it a couple weeks ago so i was a lil late too but i’ve been obsessed ever since. it’s a masterpiece i listen to the soundtrack everyday and i want to rewatch it so badly so i think i’ll rewatch it later. i wanted to rewatch it immediately after i finished it for the first time lol.
late gang
Fun fact: Ray Chen is the musician playing the violin/horn on the stage in that one scene earlier in the series. The music in that scene is actually being played by him, and even the character's face is based off of Ray in real life.
What character?
@@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 The musician playing on stage for the councilors. The one that everyone thinks is somehow Jhin
I Cried at this Part especially when Jinx lost Him.
Silco still loves Jinx even tho she accidentally killed him. . . Silco to Jinx: "You're perfect."
i thought he was just useing her whole time to we show how re acted inthe last 3ep it show her trulyu loved jinx even after she kill him he final word to her where of love and forgiving her for it i cant stop crying
@@jurassicjoey8786 He understood what Vander went with them, specially with Vi, so as a her father he did what was right for her future..
i didn't, I just wanted Vi and Jinx to be together again
@@jasons_encore They will not come together maybe just passingby or even fight but theya re still sister based on my wild opinion
Here I am. Crying because I finally decided to watch the show after months and now I'm broken to pieces. And I literally can't stop crying now because listening to this song gives me real shivers.
This is a masterpiece and I'm willing to wait as long as it takes to watch a new season. It was just perfect ❤️
Same for me... I watched it months after it came out since I didn't like LoL, but after all back then I wanted to give the show at least a chance and ended up watching it all through one day and since then are waiting for the next season to finally come out
I am right here with you, also watched it about 2 weeks ago and i am STILL in pieces, truly a masterpiece
"Don't cry, you are perfect." - Silco
I still cry every time I listen to this song. It is just something else! Wow.
It's all so incredible. The whole soundtrack is insane
A couple things that were utterly heartbreaking:
- The weapon Jinx fires at the end was built for Silco, but now it sort of /is/ Silco to her. Silco likened himself to a sea monster because he was almost drowned, but managed to fight back and escape. It's part of his personal mythos that he was held down (Either in the undercity or beneath the water) but had the will and ferocity to claw his way above. Jinx made the weapon because it represented him. It even has a left eye motif as Silco does.
- Both Vi and Jinx now have weapons that represent their respective father figures and are placed in opposition exactly like they were. Jinx even feels that Vi betrayed her for Piltover, just like Silco did to Vander.
- Both Vander and Silco lie to their respective daughters, who ultimately forgive them and side with their father's beliefs.
I like your work, good thinking
What do you mean when you say that vander and silco lie to their daughters?
@@Xerguel13 Vander keeps a deal with topside behind everyone's backs to keep the peace, Silco doesn't tell her about Vi being back and also agrees to slightly different peace talks with topside.
@@sanko111 Does this sound like a lie? Lies and manipulation are Silco's arsenal. Vander never lied. He taught Vi that solving problems peacefully is a priority. Vander himself avoided conflicts after the uprising.
@@padawan7756 I mean, by that same logic they both "withheld" information rather than outright lying.
Vander just didn't mention what he was doing to keep the peace, and Silco didn't mention that Vi was back to protect Jinx.
I have to say, I doubt anyone from the music team will see this, but like usual you KILLED it with the music of this show. Especially your ability to get artists to work on something original for the show too. So much pure talent. So much care for works of art and it shows. Every ounce of the dedication, respect and passion to create art whether it be the writing, the visuals, or the sound shows. Seriously, fantastic work. This show and everything it accomplished will be remembered for a very long time.

@@thejazzchops Jeez. It isn't a big deal. I listened to it and it's pretty cool. Overdramatic much?
@@lyonsyde7721 this song is so fucking good though
I’m a grown ass man,...been to prison,fought for my life more times than I care to remember,.....this series made me cry.
"I would have never given you to them, not for anything"
"Don't cry. You're perfect"
- Silco
You've got a masterpiece riot games, don't ever lose it.
I feel so empty after watching Arcane.

get some help
It's ok. Look up again. Season 2 is coming. :)
@@CNCiel not in 2022 tho :C
''Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?''
man, silco was just a broken man who was betrayed by his own brother, but still loved him.
and despite being so broken, he didnt focus on his hate or anger, he had a single goal and that's to free the undercity.
but just like his brother, he wasnt strong enough to sacrifice family for this goal.
riot, how the hell did you do this?
Man Stings slightly raspy voice is so incredibly fitting for this song. It's incredible they got him for the finale song. And Ray Chen too! What a collaboration
I watched Arcane immediately after hearing this song. I knew nothing of League of Legends or its characters, but I knew whatever story had a song like this in it was going to be good. And WOW!!! It was the best television I've seen in a long, long time. It will be watched again and again. Thank you so much to all involved. Truly a gift!
I'm gonna be making some enemies in the future, because I genuinely believe that Arcane has knocked Avatar - the last Airbender from it's throne as the best animated show ever made.
@@Atlessa While I do agree, and I personally enjoyed Arcane more than Avatar, I don't think they need to compete. I love both but for different reasons. Their narrative, lore, characters, development, art-style, voice-acting, tone - everything is different. Arcane just checks more boxes of what I prefer.
Also, I guess Avatar has more nostalgia tied to it for a lot of people, sort of like how many first-generation Pokémon fans believe the first 151 were the best. It depends how you look at it.
