[@chrisecker529]

the Odyssey voice lines for Kayn are amazing and are a lot more lively than his base interactions -- should definitely give it a look

[@CZ2_Delta]

Agreed! And the Announcer!

[@uprisingkayn9804]

True !

[@luk4s56]

i love that voiceline as shadowassasin on odisey skin when kayn gets all hype and forgets rhaast is gone

[@Nightmare-ii8hd]

Hope she will do part2 about Odyssey

[@motafu1]

His laughing on odyssey kayn is also so much better, fits his character more imo

[@vagoerrante]

I love that Kayn has so much respect for Shen even when he's the leader of the rival organization haha

[@TheLordMagmar]

For what it is worth, Kayn is canonically an orphan (as are all the child soldiers involved in that system). Also the voices are part of an in game thing, where Kayn wins you get the Shadow Assassin, where Rhaast wins you get well Rhaast, and before that you get the mixed lines. As for how it works in game, killing ranged attackers makes Kayn stronger, killing melee makes Rhaast stronger.

[@YanBrauzman]

If you like the back and forth interactions of Kayn and Rhaast, I think you might enjoy hearing Kled's voicelines as he has some funny ones when speaking with Skaarl

[@ryanroswellcacho]

1:00:00 Kayn's Shadow order Form and Rhaast Form are a what if scenario. IT didn't happened in the lore it just shows that what might happen if Rhaast takes over or Kayn takes over the BODY.

[@e10developmentofficial74]

A few things about Kayn that the interactions didn’t really touch on or show 1. Kayn actually loves Zed like a father and was given a chance to betray him in the comic and take his place but stayed by his side 2. The reason Kayn respects Shen so much is because Shen and Zed both were raised by the same master in the kinkou order and have a very brotherly relationship even if they’re on opposing sides 3. The shadow assassin isn’t as much the fusion of Kayn and Rhaast but more of Kayn overpowering Rhaast with his shadow magic and taking control of all of his power. If you end up reading this I hope it clears up a bit. I love this character he was actually my first character that I ever learned when I started playing the game and is my most played character to date 😁

[@greenin5537]

For closing the darkin reactions I'd recommend reading the wiki article "Darkins", there you will see all the other darkin that LoR added and the lore behind them. Apparently Aatrox was a general to the darkin. Also, Ionia still stands is a cool video from Shambits gaming that talks about all different temples in Ionia

[@vagoerrante]

There's something that happen with Rhaast. When he's talking to someone and telling them "you're worthy" or "only the worthy can handle me" and stuff, he's actually manipulating people with big ego like Kayn, basically saying only super special people can wield me so if you can wield me you're super special buddy! So Rhaast would try anything to manipulate someone to make them his wielder, though that doesn't mean he doesn'r have standars haha obviously Rhaast saw something important in Kayn in particular

[@tabuula8968]

Lots of fun details here: -Rhaast's voice actor also plays Aurelion Sol -The Forsaken Baccai card at 22:22 was friends with Rhaast before the two ascended, though while Rhaast became a true Ascended, the he became a Baccai, a weaker, incomplete version of a god-warrior -The Darkin at 23:35 is named Taarosh and he seems to have possessed a Camavoran Dragon on the Shadow Isles -With all the new Darkin cards in LoR that have taken over their hosts already, my headcanon is that Rhaast is one of the weaker Darkin, at least when it comes to blood magic, so I like to think his personality stems from him being clowned on by the others back in the day - Kayn's followers in LoR show other members of the Shadow Order, one of which was another Noxian Defector - Rhaast is also mentioned in the story "Twilight of the Gods," which I highly recommend checking out for more lore from the end of the Darkin War

[@Ajin173]

I just think they're not much into hemomancy until their imprisonment because Aatrox came with that problem. Hemomancy and morphing their flesh into armor is just one of what they learned in studying forbidden sorceries and they mastered primal magics so The problem with Rhaast is just I think he's really twisted he just likes killing and want domination and having the thrill of Kayn killing some too. Yeah I agree with him being clowned but I think they respect him too when Ta'anari killed the one who Rhaast wanted to kill

[@Ziutek-ts9qp]

Can you do another one with Oddysay Kayn skin? That one has a whole video of interactions with other champions and if you like lines of these two there is more.

[@CZ2_Delta]

Agreed!

[@xKibaFTWx]

or the interactions of other champions towards kayn (for example swain) theres also a video out there

[@sirzoner5965]

33:48 they are indeed voice lines from his transformation

[@Ajin173]

18:50 they have a lore for Rhaast but they kind of hold it. Maybe they revealed what kind of Ascended they were in the past or some shit because reasons like a potential skin with an element of surpise lol

[@Gandorhar]

I never thought about it but you said it, imagine someone like Mordekaiser getting hold of a darkin, damn that would be...intressting, thanks for that idea I hope riot uses it.

[@sparemobius7430]

36:24 that is actually exactly how he plays. Though the game doesn't force it, you can wait a certain time and just choose a side, but you can "evolve" him early by getting kills a certain way, one way he masters the Darkin and becomes the blue shadow assassin which is Kayn in control. The other way he becomes the red version where Rhaast takes over. You can not switch after though implying that one way or the other the outcome is permanent.

[@AnAnAnanannn227]

Aatrox is alone and depressed, while Rhaast has Kayn to interact and talk to

[@CZ2_Delta]

Your Shrek reference made me tear up LOL!! Thank you for giving Kayn a look! He has a bit more lore in the Zed Comics & the Alternate Universe side story, but you got all the basics covered! I'm still a bit sad that the compilation I sent you didn't end up working for you. As I was watching the first couple minutes of your reaction to the voicelines, it's evident there was missing context with his forms, what he was doing/attacking (placing wards, talking as Shadow Assassin, doing specific actions, etc). If you ever want to give it a shot on Stream, we can work out a compressed version of what you missed! There's also the Odyssey Skin interactions you missed, those are honestly great. Riot outdid themselves for this release/Event! Overall enjoyed the watch, despite the confusion. Thank you so much and have a good weekend Georgie! 😃

[@techstarboy]

Fun fact kayns theme is made when you combine the 2 themes of rhaast and shadow assassin.

[@LOCALTAHOENJOYER]

You might've skipped over some voicelines that shows how the Shadow Assassin version of Kayn kinda misses Rhaast's company, because in his usual form they would usually banter and you would always expect Rhaast to have some sort of comeback. But in the Shadow Assassin form he's not there anymore and Kayn has a voiceline where he forgot about it and expected some kind of response from Rhaast.

[@CZ2_Delta]

Most of those voicelines where Kayn is like ''yo where tf is Rhaast?'' is in the Odyssey Skin voices. Many here hope she will react to it, but I know she's extra busy so I don't really expect it xD

[@imtrash2812]

fact that Akali has a crush on Kayn ( also Kayn's abs )

[@WillGlacier]

btw the reason why there isn't really much written down about Kayn's shadow assassin and Rhaast forms is cause' those aren't actually canon since Kayn hasn't gone through any transformation yet in the lore. He only transforms in game as a really cool mechanic though in lore we don't actually know who wins between the two or if it's even possible for Kayn to win at all

[@satancomingforya889]

Varus will recive updated voicelines soon and he have great ones in lor. Also recomed to watch lor interaction of darkins they give a lot of info about them, and their relations.

[@starstorm7868]

Also, Aatrox is a depresso, Rhaast is a big goofball that enjoys slaughter a bit too much xD

[@antonio4259]

Was looking through the comments as I wanted to see if anyone else noticed it or if I just pay too much attention. When we looked at the site after the story, on the site it mentions that he believes he can beat zed but will not challenge him out of respect. I am saying this as there was a point when Georgie was talking about how she feels Kayn has no attachment to Zed in the traditional regards.

[@kellym9190]

Since he’s my main for when I jungle, I feel myself smiling every time you praise him like he’s my child 😁

[@beo3828]

Kayn's goal is the same as Zed; peace to Ionia by killing everyone that would hurt it.

[@CZ2_Delta]

Yeah, in-game he sounds like a bad guy because he fights enemies non-stop. But in lore his character only wants to protect the land/people that rescued him from the cruel hands of the Noxus military. One of his quotes describes this pretty well : ''The true assassin kills one to save many''. Also the fact that his will alone is making it so Rhaast isn't allowed to try and end the whole World lol. 🤣

[@toasternoodle2938]

First video of yours that I've watched, and I have to say it's been wonderful to have a reactor read up and learn about a champion to truly grasp their voice lines and design choices. A few current reactors that watch these clips don't take the time to learn about the champions and make terrible guesses or dislike certain things about the champion's voice lines when they don't understand them in context. GREAT video. I subbed and liked it!

[@McTerrox]

44:20 the i See nightmares, no plans line. Most likely refers of rhaast seeing the imagination of zed being dead. And since rhaast knows zed is like a father to kayn, rhaast thinks, this Most be a nightmare for kayn. When we all know kayn wants to overthrow him one day

[@MS-qu4ge]

zed's dead baby is a reference to the movie pulp fiction, the line bruce willis says at the end of the movie, didn't even know he says it until now

[@Yskas_Le_Fridge]

I love the interactions between kayn and rhaast, I swear rhaast is the comedic relief of the darkin

[@vena926]

It looks like youtube ate my initial comment so I'll try again but apologies if this is a repeat! If you like kayn and rhaast banter i see other people recommended it but i will also highly recommend the voice lines for kayn's odyssey skin! In general i'd recommend reading about the Odyssey universe on the LoL universe website. And watching the tie-in cinematic called Welcome Aboard (that also features jinx, yasuo, and malphite!) because it's just such a fun alternate universe and probably my favorite amongst the League skinline spinoffs! 💕 also i love your channel, i found it about a week ago and it's been such a delight seeing your reactions to league content!

The Zed comics tell a bit more about him. And obviously about Shen and Zed. And shows his crush on Akali :D its pretty funny.

[@Serryy]

Theres a short story about the event that created the darkin in their "modern" form. It features the aspect of Twilight and some darkins back in the olden days. "Twilight of the Gods"

[@s47o26]

damn it Charles!

[@renatohuenchual6129]

43:00 Nice pulp fiction reference

[@lordmonocr6206]

I love kayn! Theres kayn fighting to stay in control of his body and then theres Rhaast whos instead fighting to take control.

[@pascuccii]

I'd love to see you check out Jinx voice lines, they're so funny, especially the Jokes and a Star Guardian ones :)

[@TheRealMrFish]

Georgie finally learning that there's like 5 other darkin already revealed through LoR cards.

[@Nightmare-ii8hd]

We need part 2 about those two 😂😂😂

[@ItsYukiToo]

Seeing your reading and reaction to Zoe would be interesting. I don't know much about her but it'd be super interesting 🙌

[@starstorm7868]

Ahhh, hello my main and my pain by the name of Kayn. (even if I actually main only Rhaast, whoops) Honestly, I absolutely love his relationship with Rhaast and actually glad that there is no "right ending" for any of them. Because whole point of their characters - of being together, in constant struggle against each other. And if we lose one...well, don't even want to think about this scenario...scenarios? You should definetly check out their voice lines in Odyssey. It's a legendary skin which looks absolutely fantastic and got one major plot twist for whole multiverse. (I feel really bad for Kayn in there when he takes over, ouch, but not spoiling anything) + Odyssey them being announcers (Rhaasty boy is really talkative)

[@CZ2_Delta]

Hello fellow Kayn main! Yeah I agree Odyssey is worth reacting to for the Kayn Skin & Announcer. I made 2 compilations for Kayn's Voicelines and the Odyssey Announcer and gave her the links, but I think there was an audio issue and in the end she was forced to use the regular skin spotlight videos, which lack context especially if you don't know how Kayn works lol. =/

[@mac7013]

The darkin expansion in LoR actually gave a pretty good amount of new lore for all darkin-related characters. I suggest you react to a video explaining the darkin expansion lore

[@DisisFinnley]

The voice Lines where he talks to himself he alr took over rhaast

[@anonymousxaela761]

Worth noting if the enemy team doesn't have a lot of ranged attackers then you have really no need to build assassin to one shot them, if you're going into a melee heavy battle then taking Rhaast is way more beneficial to you as you can fight them better.

[@clem-u3i]

I recommend Mundo the Madman of Zaun his story is sad but his voice lines are funny 10 minutes of Stupidity ah perfecto

[@PixelSkull7547]

Aatrox was the general of the Ascended, Xolaani is the one who turned them all into Darkin. I believe Rhaast & Varus were Aatrox's 2nd & 3rd in command respectively.

[@QuackTheNinja]

I haven't even started to watch the video but I'm already excited. I love your reactions and reviews of League Champions so much. Please never stop doing these edit: Love the fact you included Legends of Runterra trailers. They're really well made and add some more lore to the characters. (I would recommend going back and watching Aatrox, Jhin, and Pyke's Legends of Runterra trailers)

[@fabiobastardinho1301]

Kayn is my favorite champion in League! However his Legends of Runeterra counterpart is probably, imo, the most disappointing champ of all. He is technically a ninja but has 0 interactions with Zed, or even Shen (especially after the comic series). His Lore in LoR is barely anything. Mostly hypothetical, because of his 2 forms. Also is way more focused on Rhaast side. His Level up animation is not it..

[@Moley87]

You definitely need to look up Sion and Hecarim's lines as well. Really great voice actor.

[@corin471]

We’re back! ❤

[@jaimeruiz7837]

By the end of the comic Zed leaves Kayn in charge of the order so Kayn will get what he wants.

Been following since you started doing these amazing more deep dives. I really hope you dive into Aphelios and Alune's lore. They are really interesting and Aphelios's whole lore is really unique Also he has probably the best login screen there is! Hope you consider it :3

[@mord2986]

rhaast says zedds dead is a reference to zedds dead the music producer

[@zonito4976]

In game you as the player chooses to be either kayn or rhaast when you damage an enemy champion you will get essence you get blue essence (becoming blue kayn) when you damage ranged champions (champions that attacks from a distance) and you get red essence (becoming rhaast) when you damage melee champions (champions that fights up close) when you get enough essence you can choose your new form blue kayn is an assasin so he builds more damage rhaast is more tanky and can take more hits so you as chooses wich playstyle fits Yours the most Edit im dum i dident finish the video before commenting 😅

[@ryanroswellcacho]

Yeah hopefully Xolanni is next in your Lore of the Darkin. Becasue she is the Key element how the Darkin Wars began.

[@McTerrox]

tthank you so much !!!

[@fishmelon7049]

I love your reactions. Could you react to Kled voicelines? His voicelines are my favorite in the whole game.

[@Pauli-dg2yv]

Fun fact: Rhaast is the weakest darkin. It took a long while to take Kayn's body while Aatrox can take anyone's body at will

[@Ioniashk]

@@Pauli-dg2yv The corruption caused by the Darkins affects the mind. Kayn has a strong psyche so he can resist it.

[@abstratogvm136]

Fake News, Aatrox has never taken the body of any minimally relevant or well-known warrior, Kayn on the other hand, is a great ninja prodigy in the use of forbidden shadow magic, and if Rhaast managed to take his body, he would have an almost perfect host.

[@victorcoffin2638]

Just a recommandation from my side, pls pause the video in case u wanna comment on it. It gets confusing for non native speakers hearing both ur voices overlap in the video. HTanks and great content:)

[@miguell7001]

If i were to give a suggestion then you should react to the odyssey skinline history. They actually got a really funny animation (With Jinx btw) and got the whole story of the skinline, that is actually interesting because its linked to the dark star universe. And of course im suggesting it because the odyssey Kayn special interactions that i really recommend. This could be a bit bias cause im a Kayn main but in my opinion odyssey Kayn has the funniest special interactions from all league of legends.

Dark Star and Odyssey are pretty much the beginning of the multiverse in League. Iirc Rhaast is basically a gateway
