- Act 3 of Arcane season 2 promises to be a spectacle. One of the loose ends that the writers will need to wrap up is the relationship between Ekko and Jinx, online the ship is referred to as timebomb.

Just remember, Ekko *_HAD_* a crush, until she started talking to her gun.
Or at least that's what he says
I dont really think that any skin or voice line older then 2 years is cannon
Jinx talks to her guns, her guns even have there own names and personality like fishbones
@@rajew5356 he said that in the show
@@realXVI. are u sure ? Which episode was that ?
Bro was spot on
He was man
Just the potential of them having an actual conversation with each other is enough for me cuz like you said, the circumstances of their encounter in s1 made it where jinx wasn’t sane and extremely stressed out. And the lack of words but lots of interesting expressions makes it to where I really just wanna see them have a deep convo about somethin
I’m pretty sure she wanted to die as Powder, because he saw her as Powder when he hesitated. That grenade was never meant for him, she saw in his eyes that he wasn’t going to do it, so she made the choice for him. The almost exact same thing almost happened with Vi this season, but Vi was gonna do it I think(she was winding back) until Isha changed Vi’s mind. Vi saw Powder again in her sister as well and didn’t want to do the very thing that happened to their parents to Isha. And then of course Isha also made Jinx want to live, now I hope Ekko and her talk about this
About how they both were the catalyst to Zaun and both their family's d34th Ekko with revealing Jayce and Jinx with trying to be useful
damn, s2 ep7 was so beautiful and basically confirmed everything
How ? And do you think our jinx and Ekko will ever get together
@@kingjames6948 they wont
In the game Ekko is/was in love with her when he was young. It is in his voice lines.
The Arcane writers said that, during the Season 1 time jump, Ekko tried to rescue her from Silco’s gang but by the time he was able to, she was so messed up that she did not want to be rescued. Hence why she called him “the boy saviour”.
Finally, finally. Someone noticing them basically marking each other. It's beautiful and amazing. 3:08
BRO CALLED IT
@ 3:03 when ekko was comforting someone, you can see jinx's bangs on the left. AYO WE SAILING OR WE SAILING?!!!!!!
That's just Skar he missed his buddy so much
hell yeah it was right
Ekko and Jinx getting together is as unlikely as Maddie sleeping with Caitlyn before Vi does... Oh wait.
This is sooo funny like damn two of those things coming true who would’ve known
Well, you called it
watching this after act 3 hits HARD
this frckn called it damn
The Boy Savior gonna flip the script and save Isha by turning back time, thus saving Jynx too
Ummm....
@@dontudare9356 He was too late 🥲
Well he was still indeed the boy saviour
Bro actually the only original homie when it comes o Arcane. Great catches all around, very observant fr
Bless!
Damn bro is a sniper
I am glad you made this video because yeah I think no one is really talking about this, because yeah I think Ekko is gonna help Jinx through her latest trauma.
I recently rewatched the enemy music video and was reminded that these two used to be besties when they were little. I really want them to talk about what happened on the bridge as well. Jinx’s tendency to try to pull the pin or actually doing it showing disregard for her own life, seemingly even wanting to die in multiple scenes has changed recently due to Isha. When last in real peril with Rictor she actually looked afraid when previously she seemed to be content to die, because Isha, and getting her family back together with Vi and Vander made her want to live.
With Isha dead Jinx may regress back into thinking anyone close to her will die and try pushing away again from Vi. I think Ekko’s line in the trailer that was something like “sometimes you gotta let something go to move forward” is directed to Jinx. I definitely think they are teaming up for the big final fight.
The paint he wears is interesting as it certainly implies an alliance but also Jinx only seems to tag people’s stuff of people she cares about (Silco, Isha), unless she’s trying to send a message like when she tagged Sevika, but there is also well the fact that season 2 Jinx is focused on “fixing” (sevika’s arm which she destroyed originally, her relationship with Vander and Vi, saving Zaun for Silco since she killed him) it only makes sense she will want to fix her relationship with Ekko.
Mind you I don’t think there will be anything romantic about it. She did kill his friends fellow firelights, I don’t really think they can move past that and have a relationship like that, but I do think they could maybe still be friends or at least be on better terms again. Maybe they both symbolically add their paint to their outfits to show their unity; as Ekko has the X on his chest that the other Jinxers use emulationg Jinx’s outfit and she has the green maybe the hourglass like firelight symbol on her stuff/airship.
I’d also love to see a reference to something cut from season 1, Ekko’s failed attempts to save Powder, because Jinx didn’t want to be saved. I think Ekko is really underrated, but he’s been the only one trying to help the present instead being stuck in the past or future so I think he’s gonna come in clutch in act 3.
People are hoping he saves Isha and while I’d love that to be true(and certainly Jinx would probably do anything Ekko wanted if he saved her) Ekko’s power traditionally in LOL only lets himself move back into the past a few seconds and really only positionally, he can’t actually rewind time around himself. Of course they could always change that and since who knows where he is right now(maybe the past?) he might come back at an opportune moment to save Isha, but I’m not holding out hope for it. I genuinely wonder if Jinx will leave at the end of the show because she believes anyone close to her will die, and if Ekko/Vi can convince her otherwise.
Agreed 👍
I like the idea of a small flashback to make this all make sense too, or it might feel rushed. I think Isha's gone though :(
Well... enforcers killed VI and Jinx's parents and VI sister committed a war crime and killed Cait's mother...But they're still in love😂 They're still pushing the Vilyn romance. They could surpise us and give us Timebomb in the last Act. So much happens in 3 episodes of Arcane. Maybe Arcane loves a good trauma bond. I'm grasping at staws lmao😭
@@daniellaaa24I don’t really think that’s the same though. Vi is not responsible for what Jinx did, and Cait knows it. Nor is either then responsible for the enforcers in the past.
@ I said I’m ‘grasping for straws’ lol
naaah u called it
Genius
3:27 HOLD ON✋🏿, If we don't see a dead body, it don't count as dead 🤷🏿♂️ so~~~
nah facts
tbh after watching act 3 i just hoped that they managed to rekindle some of their childhood friendship before the war. apparently a lot of timebomb footage was cut which kinda sucks cuz i rlly wanna see how things went for them
Keep in mind the writers talked about a scene that was axed giving context to the relationship between Ekko and Jinx during the time skip. It was suppose to happen on the bridge when they fought but it was removed.
Yeah it was supposed to be how Ekko tried to save Jinx from Silco, but of course she didn’t want because she grew attached to Silco. I think Ekko feels he failed her. It’s why she mocks him on the bridge as the “boy savior”, he like Vi in S1 didn’t accept her as Jinx , only wanting to have Powder back. I wish they had time for the flashback this season, but they probably don’t this time either.
@theredeft5319 I think he did accept her as Jinx. That's the point, he accepted the fact that she was now with Silco and that she was Jinx and Ekko was like "I don't want to be with Silco, and I don't agree with what he's done. Silco's actions led to the death of Vander and since you have decided to be Jinx and decide to side with Silco fine, I'm going to go do my own thing." It was his acceptance that Powder was gone and there's only Jinx now that pushed him to go find a different path in life and form the Fire lights.
Out of everyone in the group Ekko is the one most accepting of people where there are in life. It's why in season two he refuses to turn people away Ekko is a cautious but accepting person.
@@darklightimagesI dunno, I think it’s more likely he thought Silco was brainwashing her, or keeping her prisoner, maybe he didn’t understand why she wanted to stay with Silco after he killed Vander. He was a child too after all. Also Jinx wanted to blame herself I think for the death of her family so I wouldn’t be surprised if Ekko tried to convince her otherwise but she didn’t want to listen and she pushed him away. Silco’s words of being the same got to her as well I’m sure, of having someone who understood her and so she wanted to stay with him.
If Ekko ever tried to convince her to join the firelight’s she probably told him it was foolish because Silco would free Zaun with her help. I think he reluctantly accepted she was Jinx at some turning point(probably whenever he added Powder to the mural), but I think that probably meant he had given up hope that she would ever change or that they’d be friends again.
Did they elaborate on what the context was going to be? :/
You definitely were not far off! What could have been.
Your channel deserves so much more views for these breakdowns alone.
thanks so much
Crazy to think the closest character Jinx has gotten to smashing was not Ekko, but Ziggs.
Called it
Forget LoL lore, make it canon for the shippers damn it!
My opinion is that of a quote from Optimus Prime, - “Untied we stand, divided we fall.” So I feel like it’s a mutual obligation to protect the undercity from a big threat.
W vid tho.
Now this is the video I've been waiting for! Good video ❤
I think the bitterness in her voice when she says, "Look who it is -- "The Boy Savior", opened up a lot of speculation about their past.
Also, I'm pretty sure the airship Jinx is piloting is going to be the platform from which Ekko and his group attack. I think it's supposed to be a union of their forces. I think there's definite healing that happens between them. Not just for Jinx, but for both of them -- someone is going to have to tell him about Vander, after all. Ekko's also very likely to come back just as confused and traumatized as Jayce. Maybe a trip into insanity will give him some empathy for his old friend's struggle.
Another banger as usual
Ekko and Jinx would be a cute ship, if not for the huge amounts of pain that they've already inflicted fighting eachother. Jinx has literally intentionally killed some of Ekko's closest buddies in the Firelights. The chance of them both coming back from that seems small to me, but who knows.
I was just rewatching the S2 trailer today to try and catch some details now that we have more context and I'm about 99% sure that there's one shot(also included at 3:04 in this video) where we see an alternate universe Ekko(maybe one that went to the Academy/Piltover?). Perhaps there's hope that they haven't started hating eachother in that timeline 😅
You might be cooking. I never even thought of that. 🤔
Actually you're definitely cooking.
Cooked
@@justcallmewhat Kinda cooked. He wasn't in the Academy and I wasn't expecting him to actually inhabit his alter. But hey, it was peak nonetheless. The Boy Savior is my GOAT
Damn you were spot on with the alt universe part I never would’ve guessed.
If they were foreshadowing with the firelight logo during the first encounter between Jinx and Isha, I'm even more hopeful that Ekko will be saving Isha! 😄
I too noticed the X on echo with Jinx's style and went wild 😂 So excited about their interaction. That was Powder's only friend, really. And know Echo knows she is still in there!
I great to see a South African brother diving into something i'm interested in.Keep it up bru your vids are peak
Bless up Brother!
If Ekko is going to save Jinx, he HAS to save Isha.
Well isha is a lost cause now..
They are so perfect, it hurts
"Girlfriend" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
EKKO only had a slight crush when they were younger nothing more in his original lore points to him wanting to date her
Jinkko!
Cait vi should be Violyn. Absolutely
Jinx and Ekko will definitely share screen time together in Act 3. I'm not sure where it will lead to, but we will find out in a couple of days.
I like the idea of what could have been for these two, but Caitlyn can abandon her mission on killing Jinx to help Vi/save Vander; I'd like to think Ekko could also be civil with Jinx 😂 their friendship was so wholesome!!
also aren't those crows instead of ravens??
Bro made this before act 3🤯
I literally always thought Vilyn worked better! It sounds like violin which is a really pretty instrument and a pretty word on its own. Plus… the whole shower scene with Cait rewinding her convo with Vi and bringing her back to her in the rain scene has a beautiful, impactful violin that I very much love. It just fits. When I read Caitvi, I read cavity.
I didnt know their ship name was Timebomb, its perfect xD Act 3 seems to be the "unite forces against a greater enemy" arc, I think they will have a moment. Fortiche is really good at conveing emotions and body language without words, I think they dont really need to have romantic arc but it be cool if they can at least show care for eachother again in the last stand in an open ended way, that would be sweet.
I'm all for timebomb sailing but at this point I just want them to at least talk to each other without the intent of cutting each others throat😭 bestfrienemies or some sht
The original name for Vilyn was "Piltover's Finest" , I am looking forward to a Jinx and Ekko conversation.
You make a convincing argument!
I have commented elsewhere that I think Zeri is Ekko and Jinx daughter and nobody can change my mind.
ekko and zeri are literally the same age and they know each other in the game's lore
@eebbaa5560 Zeri was launched during Arcane S1 and had a pretty ordinary backstory, she also had some plot holes initially. Things felt rushed to release. About age, we are talking about a guy that can literally manipulate time.
@@FromagioCristiano i mean if it's a headcanon it's cringe but whatever. if you actually believe this though you're cooked
zeri got some ionian lineage, girls literally filipino
2:00 Misfortune *insert Leonardo meme here*
South Africa
South Ahh!
At 3:36, ur speculating that ekko will help jinx heal from isha’s death, correct?
yeah
Jinx will save end up saving Ekko before he loses his life then it will be Ekko leading Zaun alongside his enforcers Vi, Skar and Sevika
Why would he continue to like the girl who killed many of his friends 💀
💀
She gunned down that Vi look alike girl from season 1 and put her face on the mural 💀.
The only thing that I'm gonna say is that I'm gonna make it rain some Demacian Might over that "kid wonder" if he doesn't revive Isha, or messes with Jinx
Seems like those that leave Jinx also come back, Vander, Ekko, maybe Isha???
Was The Boy Saviour the last time Jinx saw Ekko? She might think he died.
where you got the images from 4:37? They are not in the preview teaser
The season trailer, I think.
@@Simon-A.-Tan Oh, you're right, thanks!
tbh I can see that he had a crush on her or something, but if you look at his background and how he developed he'd rather need a caring moral figure which I don't think Jinx is anywhere close enough to.
Jinx x Ekko just isn't possible. Jinx is not even interested in romantic relationships.
As a non-LOL player I honestly thought all the chicks in this show were lesbians or smthing. Interesting.
i HATE this ship but only because im hyper-fixated on Ekko bro i swear he's gonna be the death of me and he aint even real
Sorry dude but they are not boyfriend and girlfriends
Im sorry
Not gonna happen
:(
As a Timebomb shipper this channel just keeps on giving. Truly an intellectual... Wow
Edit: Although I like the idea of them together, they've been on the opposite sides for so long and hurt so many each other's loved ones to just get together. But giving the insanely fast pacing of this season and seeing how quickly the characters forgive each other * cough-Caitlyn-cough * in act 2, who knows at this point.
And frankly speaking, seeing Jinx romantically with anyone (at least for now) is a little weird to me. She still retains some childlike mannerisms and vulnerability caused by her trauma. Making moves at her romantically will be like molesting a child. Maybe later, when she fully matures into her new Jinx persona, but not within the time frame of the show.
weird comment
@@eebbaa5560 yeah
Criminally underrated duo, given how they grew up together and their bridge- fight. I hate to think they may only really get 3 episodes of development, but there is a good chance. If ANY character can help Jinx, it's the time-traveling Ekko. They're both Zaunites, both orphans, both inventors and leaders.
They are also about the same age, so like wtf are the writers waiting for??
delusional, jinx killed his firelight members if you forgot
:)
FAAAAAK... I'M SPOILED 😭😭 why did I watch your video 😭 I intentionally never watched any trailers so I would get the full experience. Fk 😢
Doesn't count as a spoiler in my opinion. This is all trailers/teasers that the creators want you to see. Everything he talks about is a theory so those are not spoilers either.
@aooide it's spoilers for me bro. I'm literally blind watching s2.
its all speculation anyway
Ekko could end up with Jinx 🤔 but I ship him more with Scar they got more chemistry
in the pulsefire universe hes with ezreal
@@E621_Rule34 Exactly!! I hope they make Ekko x Scar (guy with bat ears) a thing, because I ship them so much more than Exxo x Jinx.
you shipping mfs so annoying bruh "ekko is bisexual" according to what?
According to what sources?
@@eebbaa5560 Spitting 🗣️🔥
I hate this duo, ngl. They were friends, but too much bad blood is there now.
I still believe in happy ending when he comes back, rewinds time and saves isha 🥹
