- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Arcane Season 2 Episode 5.
Arcane is an adult animated steampunk action-adventure television series created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee. It was produced by the French animation studio Fortiche under the supervision of Riot Games, and distributed by Netflix. Set in Riot's League of Legends universe, it primarily focuses on sisters Vi and Jinx. The second and final season is finally here and we cannot wait to catch up with Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jace, Viktor, Heimerdinger, Ekko, Warwick aka Vander and more!
On episode 2x5 of Arcane this is the fifth episode of Arcane Season 2 and the second episode of Act 2 and we got to see how Jinx and Vi put their differences aside so that they can save Warwick aka Vander from being hunted down.
Jayce is acting strange and it is revealed something has changed him.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the character dynamics especially between sisters Vi and Jinx, how Fortiche continues to deliver an amazing spectacle with it's animation and why Arcane and League of Legends are here to make an impact!

Episode 6 later ❤PLEASE
Oh I'm sobbing
Cinematography still exists in animation. It's just drawn and or rendered, but the principals are the same.
done my part while sobbing. damn those onions. i am not crying. you are crying
We're not crying, they are crying!
I’m not gonna cry, I’m strong, I’m strong I’m…
*“What’re you waiting for, he’s your dad too”*
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ughh! That moment hit hard! Finally seeing these two sisters show each other some affection was very much needed.
Niagara falls….
That line crused me damn it
That hit me hard man…miss good old times with my dad
I so love how they touched on Vander and Silco's past friendship a bit more this episode. This tragedy is really the result of another tragedy.
The way Vi and Jinx's mom use a cup and straw JUST LIKE JINX
The song playing on the jukebox was the same song as the end of episode 2 when Vander was in the bar with Powder, giving her a drink of the same color in the same cup and straw.
also in ep6 the mom does the funny face with the v sign on her forehead (when she comes home in the remember me sequence) just like powder in the flashback from the bridge fight TT
She has purple hair, you get that colour when you combine red/pink and blue
ok that flashback still throws me off a bit. their birth parents died yet the flashback made it seem as tho Vander and who they made seem as their mom were together when we know Vander isn't biologically related to them. Did Vander somehow know the parents or mom? or was that just a flashback used so we can see Vander remember vi in that moment?
@@ShamShammie Vander know the mom, They were friends
This is the guy that V knocked out at the beginning, the same guy that she punched in the jaw in episode 3 of season 1 as a child, and the same one that she broke jaw in prison in episode 4 of season 1)) His poor jaw))
Poor guy can’t catch a break 😭
🤣🤣🤣 i didn't think anyone would notice Vi has messed that guys jaw up 3 different times
And to top it off, Jinx even shoots him 😂
Nice catch! I completely missed that, even when I recognized him as a Silco guy.
@@KimandKamJam Don't worry Kim I suck with names but I never forget a face.
i love that they let them be sisters again.....they also fight like sisters 🤣
That fight they had without weapons just hand to hand definitely nailed the sibling energy haha
@@OfficialMediaKnights including the younger sibiling getting hurt and have both of them stop to make sure she is ok 😅
I like how young Silcos hair is reminiscent of Jinx’s slightly
He totally styled Jinx's hair
omg you right
Jinx's got Silco's hairstyle on the front and her mom's braid
Also... That front lock of Felicia's got passed down to Jinx, and no matter how styled the front of her hair was... That lock always found a way to fall forward
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"she's like his daughter" line from Sevika in season one hits so hard now.
Powder wasn't some random kid stuck in the middle of the chaos that Silco adopted.
It was his bestie's daughter.
😭😭😭😭
It also helps cement what I, and a LOT of others, felt about their relationship back then - that he genuinely did love and care for her and he wasn't just using her as a weapon or tool for chaos.
I’ve cried during all 3 eps, but this one… the Vi-Jinx-Vander-Isha moment, it killed me. I sobbed as soon as we saw Vander/Warwick hug Vi.
That moment, thatt hug, I sobbed too 😭
I love how Silco puts his book down, and moves closer toward his friends to be apart of the conversation.
I honestly did not expect Vi and Jinx being together in this episode.. It's so poetic how their love for Vander was what made them reconnect after all those years. The only word that I could describe this season so far is "Redemption"
Yeah. I like this.
Noxus recruiting Singed is a really big storyline in League’s Lore (the Noxus-Ionia war) they're setting up noxus wow
Gonna go ahead and assume this is probably gonna be another show no? There’s no way to cover everything in 3 ep.
@@OfficialMediaKnights my thought exactly, this is probably a hint to what comes next after Arcane ended.
@@OfficialMediaKnights The showrunner, Christian Linke, mentioned in an interview that after Arcane, they are expanding the League's lore and plan to create another show and movies.
Yeah I think there are so many hints that point to a new show set in Noxus, there is no way they can wrap all characters' storylines in just 3 episodes. At least I hope there is going to be a spin-off with some recurring characters.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Yeah, Singed and Noxus are an important part of the story of the world of Runeterra (Piltover/Zaun planet), a war between Noxus and another nation called Ionia. They'd need a whole serie to cover those events aswell. Good news for the future!
Singed being doctor corvin revek was a massive name drop for those who know the lore. Can’t wait to see where it goes
Silco saw Jinx’s mom die while fighting for the change he promised her for her children. He was there that day, and people tell me he doesn’t love Jinx, the kid of his close friend. He saw himself in Jinx, and only projected his hate for Vander at Vi because he saw Vander in her. Don’t doubt Silco
This episode really confirmed what I felt about Silco and Jinx back then, that he really did love her even if we didn't see him express that in a way we're accustomed to until his end, and it always surprised me how many people genuinely believed he saw her as little more than a weapon, a tool for chaos and destruction.
I disliked Salo at first, now I felt a little bad for him. Bro found contentment, a new purpose, got his legs back only for Jayce to take it all away.
he was wayyyyyyyy too 'grateful' to viktor it was not right, it felt off.
That was not sao you guys are idiots for even thinking so
They literally killed him the second I started to like him 😭
He was definitely brainwashed in a way by viktor, whether on purpose or not idk…
@@DannyPotato Yep he is not the same guy anymore after the 'cure'. Like how much can you change after one day or two just for gratitude? I think his soul belongs to Victor, and in Jayce's time he is a soulless shell hence Jayce's confusion
Vi/Powder's mother saying "I put you on the hook" and you see Silco smiling... really puts into perspective why he embraced Powder in episode 3 of season 1 😭
"He's your dad too"....😭 this show is powerful. PS. The gem with an arcane rune on Jayce's wrist is the one he had on his bracelet as a remembrance of the mage that saved him and his mom
Wasn't expecting Jayce to absolutely pancake Salo there
Yeah…he really went for it. This season got darker so quickly
The moment that Vi, Jinx, and Isha all hug Vander had me bawling my eyes out like the end of Episode 3 of season 1. That is my new favorite moment in the series so far. How the fuck is this show so damn good!
Me during Act 1: Okay, this is cool and all, but when does the pain really come?
Act 2: Be careful what you wish for
same lmao 🤣
I love that they confirmed Orianna is Singed's daughter
Was that not confirmed in the lore?
@@jagy__ nope
Outside of the sheer masterclass of writing and animation, this show, too, is just a massive treasure mine of lore drops, easter eggs, and league fan eye candy. Like we woulda been happy for just confirmations of these "missing links" in lore in the usual way they do it, like lore events or whatever. But the fact that they did it in a 250 million dollar show is mindblowingly awesome.
@@jagy__ In the lore it says that oriana's father is an inventor of Piltover, which replaced human parts with artificial limbs, I had doubts from the first moment in arcane seasson 1 that singed would be the real father, I guess now they will change a little bit the lore inside the game to fit better. Honestly I like it better this way, than the way it is put in the game and that the father is an “unknown”. Now the natural evolution of the story would be that viktor helps singed to “revive” his daughter.
من هي اوريانا
I am so happy you guys mentioned the hair during the flashback moment. Something I noticed is both men have hair styles reflective of the girls they raised. Silco had a similar sort of long separated bang to hang over his face, and Vander's was a bit more combed back and wavy, just like Jinx and Vi respectively.
If there's one thing I wanted to say about Arcane, it's that this episode was good for my heart.
It was nice seeing Vander and Silco before everything went wrong.
4:34 ,,In My Experience, no one in power is innocent" BARS I love SINGED
Rollercoaster of emotions: I was hyped for this saturday last week, due to work and…life, I end up forgetting about it. Entered TH-cam this morning and saw you posted the new episodes then I remembered…Got hyped again. Went and binged…my eyes were watering at the end, my heart sunk…..
now I’m here recovering.
I love that episode 1 of Act two opened with a fake pit fight scene, and episode 2 opens with a real one.
I really like how Jinx becomes Violet and Isha becomes Powder
I love that their argument in the tunnel really feels like a sibling fight. “Last chance to surrender”? I know I’ve said that to my little sister a few times.
That flashback was surprisingly wholesome.
I’m crying in the club with these family feels.
"I don't wan't a repeat from episode 3" LOL
Jokes on me…
Anyone else feel bad for Elora? The poor woman was just minding her business when being Mel's assistant. It may be the sentimental side of me, but I don't like seeing innocent people get brutally murked for practically nothing.
no cause me too 😭 she was just doing her job man
Not to mention the way she went out....Jesus.
My reaction to seeing her in chains at first was "wow I'm so happy she's alive🙂" and then mel said she was dead and we see her disintegrate and I was like "r u fucking kidding me😑 she was Mel's only friend cuz Viktor is gone😒"
love our queen vi as usual
She’s the best ❤️
this show wins man the emotions i felt at this when jinx saw him and vi hugging this show man
For your statement about singed and "that" champion around 27:50
It's confirmed that it is her because of the name drop that Caitlyn dropped (Corin Reveck). Her family name is also Reveck and that is her origin story
So excited to see Mel’s story in the final 3 episodes
Vi's heart is just the purest, man. Didn't waste a moment reminding Jinx that he's her father too and to get into the hug 🥹
This episode is exactly what Jinx needed and Vi too. My heart ❤
The flashback where we see young Vander, Silco and Vi and Powder's mom is my favorite part of this episode. The fact that they were all good friends (especially Silco who seems more hopeful than S1 Silco) now puts Vander and Silco's relationships with Vi and Jinx respectively in a whole different light.
I'm definitely not crying right now *sniff*
When you see another man crying, you cry with him. Hang in there brother, we are in this together! Arcane brings out what society wants us to hide.
14:51 Welp, now we know why her and Jayce survived the blast🙃
4:20 this shot is an exact replica of the one where Cait visits Vi in prison for the first time :D
Jinx and Vi fighting like Siblings do was a nice thing to see too honestly^^
The reveal of Vander/Warwick hugging Vi breaks me every fucking time. Them hugging, the look on Jinx's face, "what are you waiting for? he's your dad, too", that whole fucking sequence just kills me. I genuinely can't remember the last time I was this emotional over a TV show. I mean, yeah, there are episodes of Scrubs that break me, episode 3 of The Last of Us destroyed me, but this show does that over and over and over again.
This act had me crying so hard omg😭 but i was so happy seeing Vi and Jinx together again
i love that yall dont instantly jump on the jayce hate train... unfortunately too common in the arcane community but either way yall nailed it on jayce
I think we all cried at the same moment
yes we did T.T
Love your authenticity guys. Keep going
i think a lot of people didn't notice this, but "our love" which plays when vi shouts vander's name plays at the end of episode 2 of season 1, when vi was going to sacrifice herself to the enforcers
OMG I LOVE Y'ALL I SWEAR TYSM FOR SAVING ME FROM A BORING DAY WITH 2 VIDEOS😂❤
Hehe...Jayce said WHAM!!! 💜
The hextech crystal embedded in Jayce's wrist is the same one he used to tie around his wrist. This time, its just fused with him...
I keep getting Kayle and Morgana vibes from the Mel stuff with the black rose, but I have no idea how that would even work. It doesn't seem like they could at all be related other than the visual parallels. It's just weird with the chains from the black rose being like Morgana's ult, and then the blinding yellow light from Mel being similar color to Kayle's abilities. That and they both are sisters... It's all probably just coincidence.
We all cried 💔🥹
Much people will cry many times today like us 😂😂😂
Guys! You are the best, i swear ❤❤❤
80's Punk Vi is one of the best character designs I've ever seen
Oh, you guys are fast! Thank you. Can't wait for your ep6 reaction
Amazing show. Take notes writers
why is every episode in this act so emotional :( . LOVE your reactions by the way !
Right!? All of them hit hard man!
After seeing the latest dandadan episode i immediately went to this and wth😢
You know what’s crazy since jinx and v are in league of legends they both have a special interaction with Warwick. At the time it was a theory but this just proves it vander is Warwick
If I would describe Act 2 it would be an *Amazing Rollercoaster Of Emotions.* Well done Riot well done.
The Orianna backstory is lit the coolest reveal in this episode
Guys, you are the best as always. Im a still under some kind of depression after new arc, your videos really help
This arc was a touch watch!
I am not ready to rewatch episode 6 😭
I NEED THE BOTH OF YOU REACT ON EP 6 RN.
Vi went full Rhea Ripley 🔥🔥🔥
I'm not too into LoL lore but by the way they’re setting up Noxus and they already said they’ll work on other shows like Arcane in other regions, my guess is that Noxus will be the next storyline.
JINX is so well written character tho
❤ this is what I call a real reaction
The best série! The best scene wow 🥺🥺🥺🥺 perfect
there are 2 possibilities just like with Viktor:
1. Jayce saw what viktor and Hextec will become
2. the Arcane showed him what it wanted him to see
Why would the Arcane show him something that would lead to him killing Viktor, who is basically the Arcanes boytoy
@@joshhignett8186 it actually could be viktor who is disturbing the natural order of things
Or maybe....hes doing what viktor and heimer told him to...? Destroy the hextech..?
Or 3. He saw something beyond his comprehension, and his mind couldn't take it.
@@joshhignett8186 I don't think the Arcane has a "side". It's like water or air, in a very "spiritual"...no, "magical" way. Viktor doesn't have the monopoly over "Arcane". He created the Hexcore, which he fused with, and learned how to harness the power of Arcane, but I think Arcane is everywhere in the world.
So it is not impossible that the Arcane actually shows to Jayce what he wants to see.
Or maybe he did saw or even lived a potential future and is pretty sure he doesn't want that to happen.
Very interesting either way!
I don't think I've ever clicked faster on a notification.
You guys are the best! We’ll never get tired of saying it!
isha might be kinda like deaf but she brought powder back.
I really love that season2 is more about Jinx, trying to mend her mind and feelings, giving her a purpose....but next ep will destroy you.
I like how they gave Mel a moment to shine. She's smarter than she lets on, not just politically.
Would've been really good if Jinx went "Vandor.... Meet your grandchild."
For the League Lore enthusiasts, this confirms that Singed is basically the father of Orianna.
Arcane is a masterpiece and this episode is truly an amazing piece of emotional catharsis.
I have a feeling some bad shit happened wherever Heimerdinger echo and Jay fucking went
I think the first guy that Vi Beaten in the ring was the same guy that she broke his jaw in prison in season one.
If so he got his jaw broke twice by her.
Cannot believe how good this show is and I love watching it with you two!!
😭 this show doesn't have the right to be this good. Also 🐺
Poor Salo, dude just wanted a bit of the normalcy from his old life back. He's been cheated out his power and was thrown aside by his society, but the second he finds peace in where he is. Bro gets whackAmole'd.
I just cant imagine what da hell is Seraphine doing while this chaos is happening
"these episodes are hitting hard", e05 left jab followed by e06 right haymaker.
Just al little funfact for all who doesnt know lol lore but play the game.The namedrop for singed confirmed that his daugther is oriana.
The finale's gonna break our hearts...I just don't see this working out for everyone. 💜
Agreed! Sacrifices will be made 😭
I'm getting the felling ,Isha is a mute ,with disability to talk. That makes her even more adorable ,and so heart breaking at act 2 end ,if u know what i mean...❤😢
Anyone recognise the cup Vander gave to his wife (both his & zilco's?🤔)? It's the same kind of one he gave to powder in S01E02 ending ,Remember?
Jayce went to the future and saw what the arcane would led too. Also when ekko returns it will be because himer built his chorno sphere. Marks words
Play it back when he first jumps out the void at .25 speed you can see the face shift showing what he really saw
Awesome love it
Keep going you both
❤️❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnightsalways there for you both
Black Rose with chains, Mel having gold light power, is it a Kayle and Morgana thing?
misery likes company... welcome wrecked knights
my theory, they were both in love with her (Silco looking lovingly at her), but she had a partner and got pregnant. once she died on the bridge, Silco wanted to burn piltover over her death while Vander wanted to protect her children from more carnage. hence their breakup? just a thought...
Look I need to know what happened with Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger! I HOPE that the next episodes would show us! 😭😭
Since I dont have Netflix this is a good way of watching arcane and getting to know what other think!
The opening scene just breaks my heart but the soundtrack is so FIRE
Please drop the next one soon
😂😂😂 you are not ready for episode 6
i may have missed it, but did Silco veer off from the trio before Powder was born? even Vi? cuz they never seemed to know who he was when the story started
Why do I feel the Darkness could be Nocturne or Fiddlesticks since both of them likes fear.
