When I saw the young Mel, I was like... ah, I see it, how could I have MISSED it.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, that is a great and very underrated theory, REALLY, this video is UNDERRATED

If Mel survives, it would be a giant disappointment. Im sure theyre smarter than that.

There is literally 100% chance they will survive. Plot armour in this show is insane, unless you're a mauve-shirt. Mel is the only character who *can* die that the audience cares about, and they won't have the guts to kill her.

we know already that none of the champions die in the series ....

Well germans you fucking spoiled it. So im spoil the rest. Rzye shows up to reser rhe balance cuz these idiots keep using magic and then boom

Victor is on the edge of the shield, it could be possible he survives but takes is heavily injured by the blast, leading to more hextech adaptation to hang onto life leading to glorious evolution

Ofc Jayce and Viktor survive their story didnt even begin yet

Mel’s dead, or at least very injured. It’s gunna be her mom’s whole ambition in season 2. Jayce survived by being such a chad Viktor will survive through his connection to the hexcore and future augmentations Everyone else probably dead Edit: I like the theory about Mel’s dad being from Solari. Itd make sense given how Mel is so connected to Gold, while her mom is only seen wearing Silverish grey. But in the new trailer her mom is suddenly wearing gold, which I’m convinced is honoring her daughter.

I’m guessing it’s Jase that survives with the council leader

We will avenge your mother doesn't necessarily mean Caitlyn's mom is dead. She could be very badly injured though, perhaps in critical condition. There's also a very small chance they're referring to another character's mother, but I doubt that one. Lore spoilers ahead: the reason I think Caitlyn's mom could be alive is because she's supposed to be kidnapped by someone in the future according to the lore. So killing Caitlyn's mom here would mean retconning that. I suppose they can make minimal changes to that part of the lore by having only her father being kidnapped instead. Still, Caitlyn's mom kind of grew on me in the show so I'd be a bit heartbroken if she died here. But it would make more sense to keep Mel alive instead of Caitlyn's mom or both of them, since Mel is just an infinitely more interesting character, and keeping both of them AND Jayce and Viktor alive would feel like plot armor. Not to mention that Caitlyn dealing with her mother's loss would make her rivalry with Jinx + relationship with Vi gloriously dramatic.

Ironically, my reason for thinking Mel isn't dead is Ambessa's line "You're council is dead". I'm surprised by how many decided to take this line litterally. The way I see it, the council recieved such a devastating blow by Jinx that for all practical purposes, it is now dead. Meaning, it's remaining members are either too few to form a "legitimate council", or they're currently too severly wounded to cary out their duties. In any case, the way Ambessa phrases her line is one of the reasons I think Mel is still alive. She doesn't state, "My daughter is dead", but instead she focuses on the council and its collapse as the governing entity in Piltover. And who is she talking to when refering to "Your council"? To me, this sounds like something she would say to either Mel, or Jayce, or both. The other reason I think Mell is alive, is her tone of voice. It is not that of a warrior and a mother having experienced a devastating and personal loss. Remember the vulnerability she exposed in the last episode of season 1 when she told Mel "You weakened me!" Mel's death would impact her severly, no matter how hardened she is as a warrior. Instead it sounds much more like she's finally found a justification to further her goal towards securing hextech weaponry, which she states as her main intent in season 1. Hence the line "Wrath must be met with wrath", meaning she can now invade Piltover/Zaun to claim hextech on the moral grounds that she's doing what's necessary to protect the city. That's why I belive Mel's still alive.

Danke dafür. Ich bin am Boden zerstört, dass Caitlyns Mutter nicht überlebt. Mein Herz ist stehen geblieben!

Sevika has sided with Jinx. Look at the design of her new arm. EDIT: Ah, you mention that later. You do seem to think there's only two sides here, though. I'm pretty sure the chem barons are fighting amongst themselves to take Silco's place.

nah, Mel dead as hell

I Really hope Jin does not die, I have a feeling she will live and the main foe will end up being Warwick, Jinx will end up saving Vi, it is possible Caitlyn wants to "Locate Jinx" not neutralize her. Makes me think they are reluctantly needing her help that or Jinx has Vi and that's why Caitlyn needs to find Jinx. I'm Team JINX,

havent seen the video yet but, Jayce and Viktor and game champions so they wont die like the rest of the champions and if Mel had died the tone of her mother in the trailer woudl be supper different in my opinion, not trying to convive but giving straing up orders

The statue in the teaser trailer of season 2 isn't actually jinx it's margot(the t is silent so it's pronounced margo) she is one of the chem barrons at 2:35 in the right corner the blonde girl compare her design and the statue they are extremely similar so I'm guessing that margot is actually an ally of jinx and sevika my guess the fight between the yordle and sevika it is hinting that there is power vacuum going on fighting to be top dog

Yes, it makes sense :) It was sure not all council members died :) They simply didn't want to (clearly) show them in the trailer to surprise us :)

Based on League lore (consider that a slight spoiler warning): Jayce and Viktor are obviously surviving. Caitlyn's mom will most likely also survive since she plays an important part in Caitlyn's future, unless they retcon that (which would be a shame cause that story is a great part of the lore). Mel's glowy armor definitely means something, since Arcane never shows anything unless there's a reason for it. This whole Solari theory is a plausible one for sure. However if Jayce, Viktor, Caitlyn's mom AND Mel survive, it'd feel like plot armor for all the main/likeable council members. So I'm nervous about s2 regardless. Mel's design is too good to part with so soon though!😭

I agree with you, both of them will survivre :) I'm sure Ambessa is talking to Mel when she's telling "Your council is dead" :) Ambessa would be a lot more angry if her daughter died :)

I think you missed some details :) Behind Smeech, you can see Jinx :) And I suspect Sevika was not only loyal to Silco but also to his goals and Jinx has same goals as Silco (before he decides to make peace with Piltover) :) Sevika using Jinx's gun and a new arm made by Jinx is, for me, a proof they are working together against other Chem-Barons.

Only Mel can die. The rest ist too important. Especially since her mum is going to become a league champ it would make sense to set her story up.

in the german trailer Mels mom says: half of your council is dead

It wouldn't make sense for Viktor to die, his entire character plot from the game has not even started and after Riot decided to make Arcane cannon for the games while also keeping the original lore too, they basically HAVE to make Viktor survive, because the game character couldn't exist otherwise.

Jayce and Viktor are in the lol game so they are 100% alive as it takes place out after arcane

Ryze is the hodded

Arcane is the original lore. Everything is canon now

Victor must become a cyborg. Of course he survived.

Fun fact: the german teaser trailer of season 2 has different voice lines and kinda spoilers who survived.

Interesting, Caitlyn says Locate Jinx not neutralize Jinx that is significant. I don’t think Jinx is going to die. I actually think they’re trying to find Jinx because of Warwick. I do think the main face off will be with Vander, rather Warwick. And one of the previous teasers.Jinx says “I’m glad it’s you, it had to be you”. I think she’s talking to Warwick. If she does die it will be against Warwick, and possibly trying to save her sister after fighting her. I do think, though she will survive the season.

This isn’t a theory, atleast the Jayce and viktor parts. Both of them obviously survive, anyone who plays league knows that viktor and Jayce’s story is far from over

Victor wasn't at the council

there is actually victor in new teaser so he survived 100%

I have not checked yet but where is the chair we see in the teaser as it is not destroyed however the once next to them are

Also i heard that in noxas mages aren't uncommon don't know if it is true or not but it might tie into your theory

Also it's possible that mel will be the first to be apart of Victor's glorious evolution

This is actually very interesting theory, it makes a lot of sence, and is not overcomplicated.

Question any theories on arcane season 2 based on the arcane season 2 teaser

Their "relationship" is...yikes. Don't get me wrong, I adore this ship to bits, but these two have got a LOT of stuff they BOTH need to work through and it's gonna take some time, effort, and COMMUNICATION. And I hope to see some of that in Apology Tour (I am bouncing off the walls waiting for that episode) I'm also just excited to see how the two are going to interact next time they see each other after that huge fight. Like is Blitz gonna try and talk about it? Is he gonna pretend like it didn't happen? And how upset is Stolas gonna be with him? Is he gonna hate Blitz now? So many questions. All I know is, I love this dumpster fire of a ship lol, and I have a feeling by the end of the show Stolitz is gonna be the healthy, sweet relationship we all dream of

19:31 Adam help us all

18:42 Lilith is evil allong

17:50 Adam was truly the victim and he was right to call Lilith a b****

17:23 power is all she cares

15:18 typical greed that who she is

Sounds intriguing

I like to think those stitches he has is a symbol of his strings and i wonder if he ment it literally when he said to unclip my wings guess who will be pulling all the strings i wonder if he use to have wings before his deal so maybe he was at one time a higher up level of demon mijd you we only had his past was explained by other characters not from himself

this is an alright theory, but likely incurrect.

I have a problem of seeing Lilith as supervillan for sole reason that she's the one who apparently did rise Charlie before she dissapeared . Ofcourse she might take after her father but she feels more like a person that was very close to her parents and had a protected childhood. Lilith might be doing something very shady but I bet it still will be somehow linked to she wanting to protect either Charlie or peopple of hell. Maybe double agent making Aleister to watch over her daughter?

I bet it’s not even a theory I think it’s a fact. Yes I do believe Lilith is behind everything. Everything from her deal with Adam to her relationship with Lucifer who probably misses his wife.
