Arcane Season 2 Episode 6 Reaction | The Message Within the Pattern

[@TheAshenTarnishedHunter]

saw the thumbnail and thought "yea, that reaction looks pretty spot on"

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😱😢😩😭

[@vRED13vTTV]

this might be my favorite episode of Arcane, there is such a rollercoaster of emotion with Vander/Warwick getting healed by Viktor, and then Viktor getting blasted by Jayce and causing all that chaos Isha means "the protector" and they did not give her that name for no reason, beautiful story

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yep. Definitely one of the best episodes of entire series 🤩 despite, you know, the pain. But it’s painful because they made us care so much

[@freewillgeorge]

'I'm on Vi's side' 100%. Favorite character. Makes mistakes, fucks up, but like Vander said she's got a good heart. She's a good person, and she's just trying to do the right thing. No greater motive than that, do the right thing and look after the people she loves. Plus ya know, she's awesome.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Truth 🙂🥰

[@theinspiredgamer1949]

The way Caitlyn’s walls INSTANTLY collapse when Vi calls her “cupcake” after so long… 😊

[@admwmr]

She folded like a taco! XD

[@thatpunkcatte]

Oh please, it's the moment Vi calls her a Mongoose. That dictator personality just collapses, completely baffled. Her innocence snaps back in.

[@ZonaiHero-ul5nm]

@@thatpunkcatteAmbessa: “Yes I taught Caitlyn well, she now has the strength and mental fortitude necessary to maintain control over piltover and…” Caitlyn: (Immediately folds after being called a dessert.) Ambessa: “You got to be kidding me.”

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah 🥲🥰

[@late8gaming787]

I’ve rewatched it 6 times and each time I learn something new it’s SO well done love getting different perspectives on the show❤

[@johnbowersox738]

One thing that scared me after this episode, was how Jinx snapped in episode 4 when Isha was taken but was alive. Episode 7 however, shows you a side of Jinx that could never expect.

[@ravenhurst96]

Holy crap, you guys had the most composed reaction to this episode I've ever seen. I, myself, was ugly crying the first time I saw it, my mom and best friend were absolutely pissed, and five of the other reaction channels I watched were sobbing, one of them to the point where she could hardly even talk and another one had to pause their reaction because they had a bad anxiety attack midway through.

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

8:50 HE SAID THE THING.

[@hm02fly75]

I never noticed the emphasis on that line on my first watch.

[@Ladco77]

No matter how many times I watch this episode, Isha's sacrifice always gets me. During the memories of her and Jinx dancing, Jinx's eyes turned blue again.

[@EmeraldKing6987]

You guys are the best reaction channel ever, you don’t talk during the video, your reactions are genuine, and unlike EVERYONE else you don’t look at things at face value, so many people hated Jayce after this episode but you saw through viktors idea and stuff

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for the kind words 🙂 🤗🥰

[@morlock2012]

Completely agree with what you said about Jinx's glasses line. I think the point is, it's both. Her closeness to Isha makes some things really simple: protect the small human! Even as it makes other things more complicated: do you fight for larger goals, freedom for Zaun and more opportunities for Isha? Or do you tune it out, because it would need you to risk everything. Just like Vander had to put the kids before his huge stabilising role in Zaun, and refuse to hand them over. This theme is *everywhere* Also, lyrics of the gentle song playing as Victor tries to recover Vander's mind? "remember me I'm already gone" Goddamn you Fortiche.

[@rromano158]

The Rune stones that Riktus has on his staff absorb magic/arcane.

[@jonathanrobinson198]

It breaks my heart a little seeing Isha become more confident in her run as she looks back on her time with Jinx.

[@aranthur]

Caitlyn almost never expresses her emotions in words throughout the entire series. The are almost always conveyed through her eyes, through her tone, and through her actions It's a very interesting choice by the writers for a character who has a lot of ups and downs emotionally and has so many internal layers. I love it personally, but it does lead to her being misunderstood and mischaracterized by the audience a lot, from what I've seen

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Sounds like she would be really tough to date 😜😇

[@sqxbarto9229]

I think Isha's death was on the back of my mind since she appeared in Jinx's life.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah. We had just hoped maybe she was being setup to be the new Jinx or what Powder could’ve been had things been different 😢

[@MrMeddyman]

Ambessa's little treatise on the Principles of Strength (Vision, Might and Guile) is included willfully and should be pretty important in the upcoming show, these define how Noxians live their lives and it's not really their philosophy they unknowingly adopted them from their own oppressor who is a distant memory at this point in history. Oh and RIP Isha I guess, I felt like she was just a plot device but rip to her

[@hamyheikki]

Ah yes, "Gut Punch The Episode"

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😭

[@BGTitanAvatar]

End of Arcane Act: *Ends in Tragedy* Us: *Surprised Pikachu Face* We all knew it was coming but it still freakin hurt. Jinx just isn’t allowed to have nice things. Poor Maddie. She spent months trying to get Cait away from Ambessa and then Vi shows up and does it in two seconds. Cait really folded when Vi called her Cupcake.

[@wildbard4112]

Jayce is having a time

[@Lavi-qr7eh]

How did those hex crystals even exploded? In the first season they were unstable and cracked all over but in this episode hex spheres are supposed to be safe to use even when overcharged as it was explained by Jayce after he made them.

[@arnas159ds]

Yeah.. you are right, but also never speak of this again

[@wildbard4112]

It's probably a reaction with the other hex spheres

[@JM-nothing-more]

it's the only time we ever see multiple of the spheres used in one device maybe multiple together is enough to overcome the more stabilized structure

[@Sdw_Bld]

The hextech gemstones didnt explode, they overcharged the crystal at the front of the weapon, that crystal at the front was something Jinx made, and not stabelized.

[@murdoc6165]

i mean her gun its made and can only take one gem, putting like 3 gems its definitely gonna do something

[@JoshuaH225]

Technically Caitlyn is the law still in Piltover. Whatever side she takes is labeled as “right” at the moment. Ambessa being at odds with her makes Ambessa the outlaw here. So, ironically VI and Jinx are now both aligned with Piltover when they ally with Caitlyn.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Good point 🙂 though I guess we also saw it as Caitlyn was made the law by Ambessa so that she holds the true power. But Piltover wouldn’t follow her willingly which is why she had Caitlyn be in power thinking she’d make a good puppet due to her grief and Ambessa knowing that and revenge are great motivators and will have people usually with blinders on. But Vi was able to take those blinders off 😏

[@davidhernando353]

This is the classic Arcane episode where everything goes to hell. Vander lost. Everyone in the colony apparently dead. Viktor killed by his best friend. Jaycen clearly willing to kill anyone who gets in his way without any doubt. Ambessa loses her right hand man and I guess the closest thing she has to a friend. This could be an amazing season finale for any series, in Arcane it's just the end of the second act. Isha's death didn't surprise me remembering the first season and the various children that appeared, so as soon as I saw it I already assumed she would die, the only question was when. Constantly waiting for it to happen made it not affect me much. The alchemist remains the only one who never loses anything, for now at least. At least Caitlyn and Vi have reconciled. It's something good among so much catastrophe.

[@jaimev2519]

Isha bro 😢😢😢😢😢

RIP Isha! Jinx just can't be happy.

[@Leeor1214]

I would say it's a necessary evil what Jayce did. It's not pleasant but I guess logic is sometimes wrong. Well guys it's time for the Finale of Act 3, Buckle up and Enjoy.

[@Hodie_Cras]

I feel like I HAVE to mention that Jayce's motivation will soon be explained. What he did may seem irrational and stupid, which is completely understandable, but trust me when I say he has his reasons

[@johnbowersox738]

Yeah, that happened.... And I thought that season 1 episode 3 hit me hard.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Right?! 😩

[@PSGameStation]

Man, Ken's reaction to Jayce killing VIctor is just fantastic. His whole body just jolted together with the hammer shot. ^^ Isha's death hurt so damn much, I loved every second of this girl on the screen. Writters were like: Oh Jinx is happy for longer than 6 minutes? So sorry, let me fix that real quick. xD Absolutely brutal.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Absolutely brutal indeed 😩😱😭

[@XC11301991]

Eh people are too quick to judge Victor's hivemind as a negative. He allowed individuality still and it was more a network of shared information. Similar ideas have been seen in other fictional IPs where this concept for a society works out just fine. The only reason it doesn't work and Viktor is forced to the extreme of a true hivemind is because of violence from others. Even in other properties where a true hivemind exists, the leader recognizes individuality is needed for evolution and growth, else things become stale and unadapting.

[@Ashton.camilleri]

I mean tbf there are clues that even this early on the hivemind purifies and strip's individuals of their individuality and their (perceived) flaws. I mean take both Salo and Huck, Huck is typically characterised by fear yet here he stands before the noxian army alone, even if this is beneficial to them, it's not them

[@XC11301991]

@Ashton.camilleri Still not really, Victor removes imperfections of fear, selfishness, ego, etc but they as a person is still there. To say that alteration is wholly bad is just common media brainwashing to the potential of a new species.

[@lhhOriginalGrey]

We are not allowed to have anything nice with this show, if it does give us something nice it is only to take it away again later

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yep 😭

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

I’ve come to talk with you again

[@Ghost_R4cc00n]

This might be the craziest episode with fans having a battle between Jayce’s actions to be “Full Agree ⭕️” to “No Agree ❌” by killing Viktor out there. As it’s crazy to admit that I be watching in the background while the battle goes on. Till next seeing Isha’s noble sacrifice with her theme song is very heart breaking to hear and see 😭

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

I mean he had to. But the show did an amazing job having us not want him to do it because it ruins our happy ending. Just shows that even the right thing to do doesn’t mean that nobody gets hurt because of it 😭

[@Ghost_R4cc00n]

@ so true as there is a quote to follow from “The Dark Knight” movie saying “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain” and that might be Jayce moment

[@shadowsweaver]

I still don't like Jace, the Children's Doom, his acts keeps guiding kids to the other side, even without intention to do so.
