Arcane Episode 9 Reaction | The Monster You Created

[@JynxRyl]

Do you guys think anyone survived that missile? 🥺 also, also what are your theories for season 2?

[@alexanderstark5192]

I think Victor and Jayce for sure since they are champions in the game?

[@ColinPoole]

Yah this is where the gamers have the advantage - any character from the game won't die in the show - but I'm also wondering why I'm watching the show now - because I don't think they are even ALLOWED to resolve conflicts between characters due to the game requiring all the characters to sort of be ready/willing to fight at any time. This show could just be endless seasons of no-hero arcs or resolutions. I'm desperate for a happily ever after and I don't think that CAN happen - even if they want it to - unless they decided to end the game.

[@reymaragagad3341]

It's possible if they can create a common enemy, and since there is still The Void and the Black Mist, it's always possible seeing even cannonically enemies character fighting together for a resolution. They can also kill characters, Misfortune killed Gangplank once and then they revived him in the story.

[@darrel7493]

"Power comes to those who will do anything to achieve it" Silco had said early in the season. He almost got everything he wanted. But in the end he lost it all because of the one thing he just wasn't willing to do. It was poetic and sad. He might be my all time favorite villian now.

[@JynxRyl]

Yes that’s true ❤️ He said it best. He would’ve done anything except give up Jinx 😭

[@gerardlacroix6015]

I wouldn't even say he was a villain. A monster, sure... The dude threatened children, probably killed some, and has a shit ton of blood on his hands. But all he ever did was in pursuit of freedom for his people. His means were ugly, bad, but effective... And if not for Jinx blasting the whole council tower, he would have made what the undercity needed. Peace and independance. I think it is well shown in this Act. Finn, and the other Chembarons, treat Silco's operation like an enterprise, to make money, and build power for themselves over the Undercity; and would bow their head before the rich of Piltover if it meant getting more business with them. On the other hand, Sevika and Silco treats it like a cause. They aren't in it for the money, or even the power. They are in it for what it means, and what is needed. Silco dosen't care if the business goes bad, and surely would rather die than make business with Piltover unless it meant sovreingty.

[@ingrid-c1379]

He finally understood why Vander became the way he was, he gave up the dream of independence because he couldn't bare to cost of his adopted children, now Silco finally understood too.

It makes sense, but it's kind of stupid too. Like, why can't her head be on a plate? It's based on the game, it doesn't directly lead to the events of the game. This is an original story that is inspired by existing characters, the writers can do whatever they want.

But we all know she couldn't neither would you or anyone else in that life or death situation. Bargaining is the first thing that comes to mind when lives are at stake, which became Vi's downfall.

I just finished your reaction, and I'm so glad you guys understood that jinx just wanted to be accepted the way she was. The way Vi saw it, she wanted Powder back but that means jinx has to change. Shape herself the way others want to. Silco accepted Jinx the way she was, and tried to help her with her demons. It so complicated to think about, but most importantly, it's extremely sad.

[@JynxRyl]

So true. Jinx is literally who she is now. Vi needs to accept that. Like Jinx said, Vi has changed too so she needs to realize that she doesn’t need powder back to be able to love Jinx. They’ve all changed. All they can do now is love each other ❤️

[@mkmc94]

That not true Silco pushed Powder to become Jinx !

[@krismarshall3803]

@@mkmc94 eh, it would have happened regardless. Not as a killer, but powders psychosis. She had it as a kid but neither Vander nor Vi ever noticed. Silco did project onto jinx a lot but it's not like he forced her against her will to be a killer or anything or be aweapon maker. She was naturally gifted and just needed time to actually perfect things. Plus her tagging along him was because of her attachment. She needed to feel important to someone so she helped Silco on her own. PTSD and Vi being abruptly gone was what contributed to Jinx. Like people blame Silco (which is mostly true) for starting the whole thing by taking Vander. But this whole mess actually started with Vi and the others breaking into Jayces place and Vanders refusal to give anyone up. Like yeah, Silco is toxic and at least half of what he says to jinx is to make Vi look bad, but he probably is the best person to handle her instability. Like when you have a family member who is crazy (talking from experience) you can't change them. They're like that now. You can do things that will help surprise them, but you need to learn how to work around their illness. Again, Powder wasa ticking time bomb if Vander and Vi never noticed anything and babied her.

[@mathies3598]

Silco didn't accept Jinx the way she was, he only accepts jinx just as Vi only accepts Powder. "You need to let powder die". He's always pushed her to become jinx.

[@mkmc94]

@@mathies3598 i agree but Jinx ≠ Powder. Jinx is an unstable violent murderer maniac Powder. Nobody who truly care about the one they love should accept them in this mental state.

[@clawsby6964]

The significant part about this show is that silco wasn’t necessarily the bad guy; he wanted independence for his people because he was mistreated and loved so terribly. Silco has been betrayed his whole life, but he trusted jinx, which was his biggest weakness; he truly loved her. However, He didn’t know or love powder which is who vi loved, which pushed jinx further and further away. In the end, silco was not a good person, but he was an amazing father “ don’t cry, you’re perfect” is only something a father would say to his daughter, and it have that much weight behind it. Him saying that was all jinx ever wanted to hear that she wasn't wrong or bad she was perfect the way she is

[@JynxRyl]

Yes this is true. That’s why I’m thinking that Vi needs to accept and love jinx and understand that she won’t get the old powder back. It’s all so sad but such a beautiful story.

[@Nata-ch2bk]

The scene where Silco sits under the statue of Vander is great. He probably had this statue built to honour there memory of his old friend, and now he's sitting there reflecting on how he finally understands why Vander gave up on fighting. "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" That line is so powerful

[@chaywarburton3488]

YOu don't turn into a murderous drug overlord and not be the bad guy. Vander wanted the same, didn't know how to get there but did things the right way. Silco caused all of this and got his justice in the end, ironically at the hands of his stolen daughter.

[@Nata-ch2bk]

@@chaywarburton3488 I think what makes Silco interesting is that he is a multi-layered character. He's not totally black, and not totally white. On the one hand, you can't agree with his methods and turn a blind eye on the fact that his actions hurt a lot of people in the undercity. He literally drugs kids and use them for his own purpose, like he did with Deckard in act 1 for example. And according to Ekko, he kills those who oppose him. On the other hand, you also can't ignore the fact that he still had a lot of humanity still in him. The fatherly love for Jinx, his dreams of freedom, his regrets for what he did to Vander (he even had a statue built in his honour). All of these combined is what makes Silco such a great character, in addition to being mega badass. Hard to love him, but hard to hate him as well.

[@phlixcarbon]

I think Vi, while initially being a more interesting character in early in act 1. The latter half of act 1 Vander takes the lead, showing the reality in what in means to be the leader of the undercity. Being the strongest only gets you so far, he needs his family to live in peace and peace requires compromise. After act 1 Vi is quickly outshone by other characters such as Viktor and Silco (by extension Jinx). In the third act Silco, ironically comes to realise why Vander sacrificed everything to save his family. I have hopes that they make Vi a more interesting character outside of the action sequences, as she really excels in that department already. At the moment to me, she's the naive hero who thinks all the problems in her life and her country can only be solved in her way.

[@Gukkiegalaxy]

24:25 I love what you said here, Vi tried so hard to get her sister back away from Silco.

[@spoon4904]

Idk I wouldn't fault Vi for doing that, remember they're both victims of that battle on the bridge, they saw Piltover officers killing both their parents so naturally they'd develop a hatred. Vi encouraged Powder's 'strengths' so that she can protect herself, they live in the undercity ffs the 'city of crime' they needed to utilize their strengths by any means necessary to even survive in that place. It wasn't like she told powder to go kill innocent people on the other side, sure they stole from them but mainly their hatred was towards the officers and the council(for their negligence). I think what ultimately led up to the creation of Jinx is the summation of every single shitty thing that has ever happened to Powder + the fostering of a crimelord.

I think this was a perfect open ended story on itself - the heart of the story is about 2 sisters being ripped apart by circumstance, then trying everything to get back together to their old relation only to find they have changed so much that that simply isn't there and a new status quo is attained. Sad as it may be, what's left open can easily be imagined where it would lead to (Vii & Cait back together, Jinx lone wolf, council dead, war unavoidable) if not for the confirmed season 2 where I'm sure Mel, Jayce & Vicktor will survive somehow (Mel shield?) and more trouble Vii & Cait awaits as well as new storylines coming into the mix. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I loved this ending before I knew a season 2 was coming that based on the teaser is a direct continuation of this story. While I'm glad more of this amazing show is coming, it still stands very well on it's own as an open ended story with a completed through-line.

She tells Vi that it's up to her to decide whether she's Powder or Jinx, because she feels she's different due to the actions of others. Only when Silco dies by her own actions does she realize that it's not up to anyone else anymore. She realizes she gets to decide who she is, and accepts Jinx as her identity.

[@oilnwater8355]

That kinda makes it sound like silco was better for her than Vi. I think it’s more nuanced than that. People and characters seem to stress the difference between jinx and powder but throughout the show it is pretty clear that she is a mix of both of them, at least till the end. Both Vi and silco love her unconditionally but I don’t think either of them can comprehend or accept that she is a mix of powder and jinx and not just one. Vi didn’t accept her unhealthy and harmful behaviours and what she did to people whereas silco was an enabler and encouraged her unhealthy behaviours. Silco shaped jinx and he projects onto her so of course he accepts her behaviour. Also he says to her at the beginning of the season ‘jinx is perfect’ which implies that powder isn’t. He wants her to become jinx and when she does at the end he says ‘you are perfect’ which shows that he may only accept her as jinx/if she is becoming jinx. And he has made jinx only accept herself as jinx and not powder.

She lost her shit with all her inner demons around her, just like she lost her shit in episode 4 when she accidentally hit one of Silcos goons in the fight vs the firelights. It was an accident and as soon as Jinx sees who she hit, she runs over to Silco crying.

He doesnt tell Jinx to stay with him. He tells her that Vi will abandon her after one day and that this is the reason why she shouldnt trust her. And he is probably right about that. Silco directed Jinxs murderous tendencies towards a specific enemy, Vi would not be able to do the same and the tendencies wouldnt just disappear. Jinx was just as stable in that moment with Vi as she is in moments with Silco.

Powder was never going to come back. Notice that while Jinx gives Vi the choice of where Jinx should sit, Powder’s chair is pushed in at the table, covered in crap, while Jinx’s chair is pulled out and clear. It was always going to end with Jinx, no matter what Vi or Cait or Silco said or did. And Vi never actually makes the choice. She loves her sister, even as she is now. She just won’t murder Cait for her, or go along with every whim she has like Silco did. Silco was an enabler. Because Jinx was useful, and because he grew fond of her in his own way, he let her get away with whatever she wanted and actually made all of her insecurities and illness worse. Short of doing the same, Vi was never going to win this.

[@0Magicallywild0]

She doesn't love Jinx thou, she's loves "Powder" the person she used to be.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

They’re the same person. A person that Vi loves. Will always love, regardless. When they first reunite, and Jinx says she’s changed, Vi even says that she understands that she did what she had to do to survive. Like I said, she just can’t go along with every chaotic, murdering whim Jinx has. Just because you love someone unconditionally doesn’t mean you let them do or get away with whatever they feel like.

I believe wholeheartedly that he loved Jinx and tried his best (which is part of what makes him a great villain), but I still believe he was a bad dad. Although to be fair - I imagine that raising a daughter with such intense trauma is extremely difficult.

He loved her no doubt about that but he was a Terrible dad and enabled her traumas and added fuel to her fire of craziness

[@voidedego]

He projected his own insecurities onto Jinx he loved her yes, but he was a narcissist and crammed himself into her feelings as a way to gaslight and manipulate her. He was not a good father, not the way that she needed him to be. Neither Silco nor Vi truly wanted JInx/Powder to coexist one wanted the other and it was a drastic push and pull for her. Silco wanted to erase every facet of Powder that he possibly could as a way to gain her affections and trust. As someone who has had a narcissist father. He wanted control, but good try. He loved her but not the right way it was incredibly toxic.

Jinx's final scenes really go to me. After yet another mental breakdown, she accidentally kills Silco and he forgives her and tells her she's perfect. Afterwards, Jinx isn't crying, screaming, hallucinating, or even laughing. She just looks and acts...tired. Resigned. For so long now, she's fought, with herself and against the world, to figure out who she is. And now that she's killed yet another person whom she loved and who loved her, I think Jinx has decided... She really is Jinx. And if she's going to be a jinx, then she's going to be the biggest, baddest one possible. Burn it all. Let chaos reign.

Viktor is sitting just behind Jayce and maybe he has some new magical abilities now since his last transformation with the hexcore. We know from watching the fights in ep 8 and 9 that Jayce and Vi's hextech weapons can create defensive shields. Viktor's leg and hand are maybe like hextech weapons now and can create a shield? As far as Mel is concerned, I think it's 50/50 whether she's going to die or not, I wouldn't be surprised by any of those 2 cases. But it would be harder to find an explanation of how she survived, if she does. All the other council members are almost 99% going to die in my opinion. Caitlyn will never forgive Jinx for that since her mom is there.

[@mrreliable2220]

I find that people are having a hard time to realise that there is no hero or villain. Piltover's actions can be compared to Nazi's. They put poor, criminal, drug addicts anyone below a certain level was dumped to a city full of poison gas that caused deformities that Viktor is seen to suffer from. The people of Zaun rebelled against Vander not just Silco they all wanted to change which is why Vander gets betrayed for forgetting or giving up the dream to fight against Piltover. Silco Unites and makes something from nothing, he was cold and calculating because he was leading and uniting criminals not model citizens. And if given the option for peace he would accept, only demanding free trade and access to hextec portals for Zaun (allowing Zaun to trade and prosper alone). Shimmer is also not seen to be only bad, it has healing properties and can be used for medicine , so just like hex tec that is good and bad shimmer is also, people can abuse shimmer but the right people can heal with it. Please lawl. What Piltover has done to Zaun is very unforgiveable yet people seem to see Silco and he managed to build as bad, he essentially found Zaun a way to survive financially and started to have people working (all his workers looked fed and health) he paid to help get rid of the gas that poisoned people. He was the only kind of leader Zaun could have at the time, not motivated by money only by his dream to create Zaun for himself and Jinx. Piltover is shown to not change requesting Vi for peace in the past and ironically Jayce making the same mistake of asking for Jinx for peace, and in reality from the crimes they have committed against Zaun, demanding anything outside of peace is greedy. Silco and Jinx top tier characters.

[@kalabana8]

I agree that Silco is a great character, but the things that he did are inherently just as bad, if not worse, than what Piltover has done for Zaun. Just because his goals aren't driven by money, does not mean that his actions arent reprehensible. He still did lots of shady shit that made Zaun more unstable and even more divided than it was when Vander was in charge. It shocks me that so many people are completely forgetting all the terrible stuff he has done before Jinx killed him just because he was a dependable father figure to her in the last episode. He can be both. A terrible person and a good dad.

[@mrreliable2220]

@@kalabana8 I did not mention Silco being a father and you did not address anything I said. You say that it was more divided than ever but no division was shown. It was never united to begin with, silco atleast brought a group together. Also you fail to mention what silco did that did not benefit Zaun. The drug addicts were not put there by Silco and silco did not force a single one of them to overdose a lot of those people are using that drug to cope with the conditions piltover has dumped on them. Bring one example of Silco doing bad for Zaun. I already explained that shimmer is a resource like hex tec and the fact that Silco had to bribe so many people just to be able to trade with other cities shows how down bad Zaun was. Give examples of what your saying not broad statements lol.

@@mrreliable2220, there is obvious division in the Undercity when you see how Silco has left the place while he’s in charge there are addicts, crime lords/kingpins (that are power hungry and will betray him) firelights (this is the most biggest one the fact that there are people actively working against him proves what kind of hostile environments Silco creates, violence is commonplace, the fact Vi had people that gave information on him despite the fact that he is feared, his most loyal person that follows him considered killing him (she makes it clear she will pick another side if it guarantees Zaun’s independence) Vander didn’t need fear for unity, there is a reason he has a statue of him even when Silco is in charge, in the bar scene where Huck doesn’t get paid properly all Vander has to do is say some words for the whole bar to stand by him, the bar doesn’t rat out his kids even though it’s a threat to all of them, drugs aren’t prolific people don’t rat out his family

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

I had figured Caitlyn had a character shield by virtue of this being an origin story and she is a champion, but Jinx bringing that serving tray (what ever its called) really made me nervous despite it. That scene really had me on the edge of my seat. Silco on the other hand I had figured he was a dead man walking for a while now. He isn't a champion and seems like he is too big of a player for him not to die before this is through, although I had no idea when or how and I already knew about season 2. I'm assuming Jayce and Viktor will survive Jinx's R, though Viktor might come out of it losing a limb, but for everyone else in that room its a roll of the dice. If anyone is going to die, it will likely be Mel, unless she has some ability I'm unaware of. The Super Mega Death Rocket was heading right for her. The blast will likely be large enough to kill or maim most of the others, if not everyone but the champions. PS: Take a good look at the shot with Singed in his lab at the end there.

I think Silco and Caitlyn were right though 😔 Jinx isn’t Powder anymore and Powder is the only version of her that Vi actually loves.

She really is too far gone at this point and Vi’s refusal to accept that only hurts her rather than helping her :( In the end Vi would probably realize “Powder” was never coming back and she clearly doesn’t know how to handle “Jinx” at all

xD tbf though vi does get a shield passive in game, built with Eclipse it's non stop shields till she dies lol. I was pretty hyped when I first saw the shield activate.

[@tradicted]

The thing is Vi loves powder and fears jinx. You could see it in her face, her face only showed fear, no love (and she always only talked about finding powder in jinx, never about accepting the "new powder" - meaning silco was right, she couldn t love jinx). Silco never tried to manipulate Jinx, he knew the undercity is cruel and dangerous, so he taught his daughter to be strong to survive, taught her to embrace her strong self (jinx is perfect - you are perfect). He never lied to her, he didn't know vi was alive and when he found out he only wanted to protect his daughter because he knew that vi would bring back her demons. Silcos character development realy is all about fatherhood, he found a broken girl and protected her at all cost. In the end he was ready to give up himself for Jinx and his dream and when that was out of the question he gave up his dream for jinx (is there anything as undoing as a daughter?)... It's funny in the end he finaly understood why vander betrayed and try to kill him. (vander chose peace and gave up on his dream to protect his children and tried to kill the guy who kept on pushing for war) And just like vander, Silco gave up his dream to protect his child. When vi started talking about the family jinx killed, she awakend her demons again and made her go cracy. Silco picked that weapon up to kill Vi so she would stop hurting his daughter mentaly, he wanted to protect her.

[@KatherineSinahon]

But even if they voted, the fact that Silco wouldn't give Jinx away kinda means that in the mean time, Zaun will not happen

[@wingsclippedwolf]

Jinx, in a panic-induced fugue, fired in an arc at both Vi and Sisco. She easily could have ended up killing them both. Vi ducked but Sisco couldn't. Look again at the shots of Vi right after; there are bullet holes in her chair. She didn't choose her sister over her adopted father.

[@MaStErShOt36]

My theory is: Jayce and Viktor are the only ones to maybe survive, both of them being hospitalized and potentially comatose. Unfortunately I think Mel will die since shes the closest to the missle hitting the window. If Mel were to die this would make it so her mother has now lost two of her children and will be even more hungry for revenge against Zuan and potentially having a foothold on the council? Viktor would recover and become more despserate in his research to weapons. This terrorist level assassination will most defininitely lead to war between Zuana and Piltover. Ekko's Firelights will be pressured. I can foresee many crime syndicates of Zuan rising to the surface. Also I dont know of you guys caught it but when they showed the Scientist in the last few scenes he had someone hung up in his lab, most believe it to be Vander who he's experimenting on!

[@MaStErShOt36]

In addition I do believe Cait's mom will die making her NEVER be able to see eye to eye with Jinx and thus will impact Vi in many ways... The last message Jinx wanted to get across was that she understands Vi wont love her like she used to and to show Vi the side she choose she did something irredeemable so that Vi needs to accept her as the menace that is Jinx.

[@perro692]

I believe all Silco said to Jinx is what he truly believed, i can't say he was a good father, because his influence only made her worse, but he did love her, he's just extremely messed up as well and ended up projacting all of his pain on her. Atleast at the very end he manged to understand Vander, now that he had someone he wasn't willing to sacrifice for his mission

Ep 3, 8 and 9 had the most impact for me when it comes to powder/jinx. It was sad that vi was not able to express or even accept that powder is gone now and jinx is calling out for her on this ep, which silco was able to do. He's a well written villain ngl. Either mel survive that or not, it will start the war. Other councilors will die. High chance that Caitlyn mom will die too which is saddening to see now that she sees communicating with caitlyn now and believe her :/ This freaking gave me anxiety and fear.

[@Amrani97]

I don't know whether Vi would want beef with the guy that made her gauntlets (she didn't even know her gauntlets could make a shield), who has a hextech hammer and enforcers surrounding them. Anyway, I am so glad yall enjoyed this series. It is a masterpiece. Sadly the second season is far away (2023 maybe). Personally don't know who is gonna live after the rocket hits. Mel's backpiece started shining though so hopefully she lives because her character is great (personally hope she becomes a new champ in the game if not her mom). If she dies it explains why Jayce is an arrogant asshole according to gamelore, man is just jaded I guess. Takes no shit from anyone anymore afterwards, if Mel gets murdered like this. Also thought it was beautiful how Jinx said that she wished Vi could love her like she used to, even though she is different (when she said this it hurt). In her mind she already changed and there never was a time to change back to Powder, yet Vi insisted on calling her Powder. Vi could not accept Jinx for what she had become, Silco instead told her she was perfect the way she is right now. Absolutely beautiful storytelling in this show

[@Zoidberryable]

If nothing else, Vi has shown time and again that she wants the smoke in every situation no matter how outnumbered she is. She's a loose cannon by nature and, if push comes to shove, she would've definitely fought Jayce and every enforcer there.

Jayce will be saved by one of them perhaps. I think there will be loads of collateral damage and really this move lays bare all of Piltover’s weaknesses. They are screwed.

Jayce and Mel will probably survive, with Viktor in critical condition. Mel's armor was given special prominence, thinking it might not just be decorative, and Jayce has hextech that can provide force-fields and the like. And Viktor, being severely injured so that he can't even enjoy the limited time he had left, will be pushed to self-experimentations again.

You guys made a good point. Vi has to accept Jinx and find a way with her. She can still reach jinx. They're still sisters.

[@SrKamikazi]

Viktor and Jayce will for certain survive,i wonder if Mel will

[@JynxRyl]

I hope Mel will survive

[@Stefan-xt5sk]

Powder killed her family - her family then "killed" Powder and completed the transformation to Jinx when Vi brought up all her Trauma again. She messed up the rescue action for Vander just when the others almost got out. She destroyed hopes for peace just as the independence was accepted by the council. She killed both of her father figures - Vander indirectly and Silco directly. The name Jinx really fits. Jinx's whole story is so tragic and full of repetitions.

When it come to telling a story its a word call plot armor which mean no matter what happens in a story the most important character are saved by plot armor like how both Ekko and Jinx survive her blast on episode 7. If the writers of this story stay true to that basic theory then Mel and Jayce are both okay from the blast because they're both very important characters to this story right now.

Just before the rocket blast, you see Mel's armor shimmer and activate. Maybe her armor protected her and a few others in the room.
