Ekko didn't rewind time in the first season. It was a visualization more of him planning and seeing ahead mixed with them being kids. It was stylized to be like his abilities but it's more foreshadowing than him actually rewinding time.

[@arcojin-carlosh.9435]

To me it was more like: "We always played like this as kids, she always won by shooting in these places. I'll dodge them and hope it works"

[@brittoncain5090]

@@arcojin-carlosh.9435That's exactly what it is. He plays out the same sequence that they did as kids in his head, and then "rewinds" back to the beginning of it.

[@mimic1984]

"We'll show them...We will show them all..." and that you did, Riot...I applauded everyone who worked on this. It has officially gone down as a staple of animated history, and will be remembered for many decades to come, if not longer. You can sure as Hell bet that I'll be there for the next series, however long that'll take, and every series after. 💜

[@Subbacultcha]

Some massive hints are more discernible upon rewatch about Jinx’s apparent fate. The ending might not be what you initially think.

[@agentepeperoni34]

So, a few interesting points (and some answers to your questions): - In-game Victor is a mechanical genious who's fixated on "glorious evolution" (and he looks different). He actually created two other heroes: Blitzcrank and Orianna (old lore, in-game; in the show it's Singed's daughter and he's the one who built her, as comments rightfully claim). - The three-eyed crow is a demon spy of Swain (another powerful Noxian). - Warwick looks nothing like in the show. In-game Warwick is full-on werewolf. - Ekko's ultimate is time-reversing to 4 seconds before, but he also reverses all his HP lost (not like in the series).

[@parzivalkni110]

I am like 99% sure that victor did not make Orianna.

[@JaHaRBrink]

Noxian invasion of ionia hasnt happened yet it was just raum foreshadowing, swain is just a noble atp

[@generalx13]

Oriana is Singed's daughter, so per Arcanes version of the lore, Singed created her, but not without Victor's help essentially.

[@YaronAssa]

At the first episode Powder looks at the white airships and said one day she'll sail on one of those. That + investigating the tower's air duct schematics indicates Jinx made it out, and left to break the cycle.

[@peter_m_9814]

Yep, and if you look closely or slow down the scene when they are falling, you can see the pink shimmer streaks going to the right before the explosion. Jinx set of the bomb, but dipped out, so it only took out Vander or the creature that's left.

[@PotatoGuidanceMissle]

Ekko literally gave up his own heaven to save his universe, because he is the savior everyone says he is. Imagine seeing the perfect version of your world, going "nah, I'm good." and saving an entire timeline that was doomed just because it's your own.

[@FullMetalB]

The boy savior 🥲

[@Rlogsdon100]

Same with jayce. He always dreamed of living like a caveman in a dark souls world.

[@Caraxes_RoguePrince]

Well it’s not his heaven tho lol

[@DeversonBasilio]

40:02 This guy with the two moles, it's shown across the episode as a beloved father who send his kid away and chooses to fight

[@ghostpants7930]

Jayce fought and survived Hell to save his world, Ekko gave away heaven to save his world. Heckin tears.. T.T

[@javiert9766]

Btw Maddie was most likely a Noxium plant working for Ambessa from the beginning.

[@jRoy7]

It wasn't until I rewatched E6 that it could even occur to me, but Ambessa and Vi's conversation took on new meaning after seeing E9.

[@fir3gaming664]

Noxian*

[@ChalkyRN]

If CineBinge is now just a watching Arcane, I’m down for it! The best series on TV.

[@laurencereyes1871]

As a former league player and jinx main, this show was amazing. There are a bunch of clues that suggest jinx might be alive. Some might be just fans coping, some could be solid. Cait looking at vent diagrams while holding a monkey bomb head. Pink/purple streak jetting out of explosion. Last shot of s2 is a blimp, and in s1e1 powder mentioned she's gonna ride those one day. Also in netflix's arcane after glow for s2 act 3, the cast and creators were asked if jinx was still alive? Ella Purnell sheepishly said "we dont know, we’ll leave that open to interpretation", then she hid behind the question card smiling. Anyway love your guys channel, looking forward to more reactions!

[@muzz667]

They´re doing the marvel thing. They don´t show her body so they can bring here back if they want to.

[@Rookmark]

Came here to share this. Happy to see someone else share it first, means I'm not alone in this hope.

[@entropyfun]

Arcane lore is League lore, so Jinx can't be dead if she's still in the game.

[@gby139]

@@entropyfun no she can, the game isn't canon, ambessa for example is dead dead, but jinx is alive, the blimp is litterally the same from s1, when i say the same i mean the EXACT same like they reused the one they animated in s1 you can check it is exactly in the same place on the screen

[@NolsHub]

I've wanted to rant about this.. Viktor went back in time to other dimensions to give Jayce this rune so that in the future Jayce could be the one to stop Crazy Viktor, but Jayce getting this rune was the entire reason him and Viktor went on this path.. Not only that, but Viktor literally could have just told Jayce what was going to happen from the start and could have prevented everything entirely.. So are you telling me, Viktor caused ALL of this, just so that all the other Viktors in other dimensions could have a friend? Bruh

[@iampotsataja]

I've thought about this as well, but the conclusion I got to was that hextech was going to be created one way or another. If not Jayce, then someone else was going to invent it sooner or later, so Victor chose to become a sort of a warning of the effects of hextech as well as he could

[@Invader_Rin13]

You want one character with a happy ending? Well, Singed did. The literal war criminal got everything he wanted, including his daughter.

[@themediater]

"I just need one person to have happiness, for like a bit. I don't care which side character" Hmm, well, Singed seemed pretty happy right at the end. Just a bit of war crimes and you too can have your daughter back, albeit a clockwork version.

[@BaronSCameron]

Jinx is alive. Kait is looking for where she escaped. She even grins when she looks at the air ducts. Last shot is an airship. "One day I'm going to ride on one of those things" Powder, s1e1

[@Arjay404]

53:24 Simone what Ekko saw was a flashback to when he fought Jinx on the bridge and almost killed her.

[@PotatoGuidanceMissle]

Jinx's entrance is the most hype moment of the entire show, second only to Sevika's fight against Smeech. Literally had me cheering at my screen when the techno started blasting.

[@joshgreiner2599]

One nice touch: Ekko's ability goes back 4 seconds, and the scene with him and Powder dancing is animated on 4s, meaning every 4th frame is different.

[@anonymous15432]

You guys should legit do an arcane rewatch. That would be the funniest thing ever.

[@ChalkyRN]

What I really want is an update on your feelings. By now you’ll have worked out Jinx escapes and Caitlin works it out. Jinx does this to allow Vi to be happy. We need an update on your thoughts!

[@Citizero]

Episode 7 destroyed me like no episode of tv ever. Just shatters you on so many levels. All that happiness is caused by the death of Vi. That explosion killing a kid probably ruined Jayces life. Cait will never meet her soul mate. Seeing who Powder should have been and Ekko being with her is just so sad. Ekko giving all that up to save his world is one of the most heroic things I've seen in fiction.

[@Blynat]

When I first saw the first episode with Mel on it, I said, "she is definitely a mage, she looks too cool and beautiful, she has to be a mage." Then I found out I was " wrong." (At the time)

[@iclassic94]

I know one thing for sure. You 2 are banging "stromae & pomme - ma meilleure ennemie" non stop.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

*Jinx makes a whole flashy entrance* Megamind: I taught her well 😌

[@logandarklighter]

Ambessa - “This city isn’t big enough for two supervillains!” Jinx - “Oh you’re a villain alright! Just not a SUPER one!” Ambessa - “What’s the difference?” Jinx: - **takes the wheel of her airship as multi-colored bombs go off all over and the Fyrelights descend** “PRESENTATION!!!!!”

[@jonathangonzalez-md8pg]

I noticed George's "nerd spren" shirt before, but Simone's Waxillium reference caught me off guard haha

[@yiannis5972]

So what we learn from Singe is that if you commit enough war crimes against humanity you get the best ending. I can respect the fact that throughout the entire show he showed up he created problems, and girlbossed his way to happiness.

[@elheber]

Vander's canonical hard-counter is blue-haired girls with blue gems. He's 0 for 3 against them.

[@LoLDremmah]

Love you guys and Yes, Ekko ultimate ability in the game is to go back in the position he was 4 seconds ago :)

[@carronline1]

i know its not usual for the channel being mostly just series and movies, but after watching all of arcane be fun to have a video of you both reacting to some of the cinematics for league or looking at the champions that was used in arcane going through their actual lore and ingame abilities as a more special video to tie in with arcane

[@nrgspike]

"One day, I'm going to ride in one of those things" - Powder "No matter what I do, I just can't seem to die" - Jinx. That's some good foreshadowing.

[@mimic1984]

Coming from a non League player of any capacity, and having only watched this show about 7 months ago... If you would've came up to me say...a year ago, and said that a show that took place in the League of Legends universe would be not only be my favorite animated show of all time, but my favorite show overall, I would've said you're absolutely insane...yet here I am making this comment declaring that this is indeed my absolute favorite show of all time. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment with my bed, staring up at the ceiling for the next few weeks and a whole lotta tissues to deal with what I just watched. 💜

[@mimic1984]

"I did appreciate your warmth." Coming from the coldest heart. I will fully admit to have cheered when that little ginger witch got hers. I won't lie and say I didn't put that on a slowed-down replay quite a few times. 💜

[@NickCTorres]

more like the warmest, she was completely authentic and got the betrayed one here, by both Caith and the script

[@elheber]

​@@NickCTorres There were some hints that Maddie was a baddie all along. She was the first person to join in with the Noxian soldiers chest pounding to Ambessa's nomination of Cait. When Vi was seemingly captured, Ambessa told her something asking the lines of, "I owe you thanks. Your absence with Caitlyn left a void for me to exploit." Maddie was Ambessa's plant.

[@bouboulroz]

​​@@NickCTorres there are two impact frames at the moment of Maddie firing (in white over black) showing her with a large grin, symbolizing that she was enjoying the kill. Maddie was never authentic.

[@justinriley]

I can't believe Ekko saved the day with the power of the AutoSave.

[@mimic1984]

Episode 1: Protect Maddie at all costs! This sweet ginger is too precious for this world! Episode 3 at the final scene as Maddies beating her chest in the salute: Well, I'll give this girl the benefit of the doubt, she might just not know what she's cheering for. Episode 4 in the beginning scene between her and Caitlyn: Hmm...I wasn't mad at Maddie because of the situation, I was suspicious of her. I thought either she genuinely had feelings for Caitlyn that Caitlyn didn't have back, or she had some ulterior motives. Episode 9 as soon as the reveal happened: *slams fist into my bed* I KNEW IT!!! YOU *****! 💜

[@luc1ferous]

When the grenade goes off there is a streak of Jinx's Shimmer Speed into the ducts, the slide Cait looks at and smiles shows them and finally the airship is like the one Powder said she would one day fly on - Powder lives and faked her death so Vi could find happiness. I believe this with all my heart.

[@dampersand]

You joke, but I would watch the endless Arcane reaction loop.

[@yonaeltamrat]

I know I'm probably not the first to mention this, but the Ekko and Jimx dance scene was animated at 4 frames a second. Alluding to how Ekko wants to "stay in one moment." The Easter eggs in this show are out of this world.

[@manmamas]

Ekko's the ONLY character that was able to fight against Viktor's control had 4 husks on him, resisted longer than anyone (and most only had 1), then was still able to fight Viktor's control after being taken over That's WILL POWER

[@blizzfreak]

The boy savior!

[@mimic1984]

It's so tragic...despite all the good...Powder still can't go without some form of loss even in a reality where almost everything is perfect.

[@michaelsoria807]

There's a sense of emptiness when one finishes this series. Feels like you just watched a great thing that, despite its ending, is so beautiful and leaves you wanting for more... But this story ends in such a way that you just can't feel satisfied. A third final season might just be it, even if they said that they required just two. Again, I don't know...

[@hadoken95]

"I don't know how I feel" is exactly how I was the first time at the end. It's taken multiple re-watches and scouring fan theories on Jinx's ultimate fate that's gotten me to accept everything. And that's not at all a dig at the creators, they've managed to make something so complex and powerful and wonderful that it just overloaded my brain initially. Very well done.

[@Cenforge]

Bravo.

[@danielkaiser-d6g]

"pretend my ex told" haha 😂 you don't know the half of the metaphor while saying

[@bardock_3161]

Here are the League of Legends Champions that appear in the show: -Jinx -Vi -Caitlyn -Jace -Viktor -Heimerdinger -Ekko -Singed -Warwick -Orianna -Ambessa -LeBlanc (No easter eggs included)

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

‘The reward for Perfection is an end to Pursuit’ The true tragedy

[@projectmertle9625]

Fire Saga!

[@sumairali1688]

"Limit is 4 seconds... Trust me" *Jhin approves greatly*

[@wheatey6666]

Episode 7 is my favourite one. The way I saw the fact they had no hextech in that universe. Is, after VI died because of it, Jayce was too disheartened to continue the research, it wasn't just a building in this universe, it was a life taken because of his research. Just my thoughts, but the whole episode is truly great and was breaking my heart all the way through

[@nolaabroad1514]

I mean, Jayce almost killed himself in the main timeline without a kid dying. I am pretty sure he went through with it in this universe.

[@Jay-ate-a-bug]

Analyze the explosion from Jynx' Grenade, the Blueprints showing the Tower and all of it's Ventilation shafts displayed, and the Airship flying away at the end and then remember Powder seeing an Airship and saying "I am going to fly one of those someday."

[@Arjay404]

Yes, Ekko does have that ability in the game. The only thing they missed out on that is that he creates a explosion at the location he teleports back to.

[@nugget3687]

"I just feel bad for maddie" not for long

[@cw1345]

No matter how bad your life gets just remember………….Viktor could’ve easily helped Jayce out of that hole in episode 7 and didn’t, and for that he’ll forever be a Dic! 😂

[@samworf6550]

13:15 the technical term for the "skipping frames thing" is Step Printing

[@98tofuyi]

In the main universe Jayce tried to unalive himself after the explosion on his apartment, I think in this alternate universe he actually went through with it, since a kid died because of his experiment (even though it wasn't really his fault, but I think because of that no one on the council would stand on his side)

[@jrrobles79]

To be honest I didnt like the story telling for this season as the first one, I feel that there were going to be 3 seasons and they cut it down to 2. Dont get me wrong is a good second season but there were a lot of plot holes. There a lot of great scenes that were not well put together. On season 1 those 3 arcs were told great on 3 episodes each, in here I didnt feel the same. Characters that just appear from nowhere and disappear, lack of character development and other things. Also I think for this season we should know more about the Arcane universe to understand it, for example that Black Rose and Mel thing, I didn't get it at all, wtf was that all about, very different from season 1, were we understood all with out know it anything about this universe.

[@matiasalvarez965]

ekko is like: 🎂🎉🕺🏻💃🏻 Meanwhile Jayce:🦿💀☠️🛤️🆘

[@ChalkyRN]

Thinking, you won’t feel sorry for Maddie for long! And she won’t get a happy ending! And you won’t care! 😈

[@petrusjnaude7279]

The Mel x Caitlyn vs Ambessa fight is so cool. The whole last episode is filled with a lot of suitably epic moments.

[@brentabel5094]

Ekkos ultimate in the game has him go back in time 4 seconds. It's one of the hardest mechanics to master in league imo

[@javiert9766]

The clues point to Jinx still being alive; plus she is in the game and too popular to kill off. Also Heimerdinger is alive or will come back as his race is immortal and reincarnate in their home city.

[@greywarden5513]

The King & Queen of Zaun! Ekko remember the love he has for Jinx/Powder gave me LIFE!! Ekko leaves that dimension because he NEEDED to save his Jinx.

[@matiasalvarez965]

heey Simmone with white hair? give me 10 🔥

[@ShadowStunts]

Best animated show ever

[@MikeArelliShreds]

Singed kinda reminds me of Joel from The Last of Us a bit. Willing to burn the world/let the world burn to save his daughter. Not evil, just broken with nothing to lose except for 1 single thing, they both lost it once, and will not lose it a second time.

[@luc1ferous]

The Powder x Ekko dance scene fucking wrecks me, I mean just seeing Powder happy and well adjusted...

[@rickymoranjr9609]

those robot mannequins (or whatever they're called) remind me of the nurses from Silent Hill but creepier on all levels especially when they followed Jayce in a group

[@Klayhamn]

Ekko over Jinx's "body" is a flashback from season 1. It's not the future that he was seeing.

[@mimic1984]

Y'know...Episode 8 of season 1 talked about Oil and Water...Episode 8 of this season is gonna go over different liqu...you know what no, I'm not finishing that joke. 💜

[@mimic1984]

I'm not ready to say goodbye...goodbye goodbye...goodbye goodbye...ohhh. I absolutely applaud you Riot, Fortiche, Christian Linke, the entire crew. You people have made cinematic history that will be remembered until the end of time. I will wait anxiously for the next piece of art these guys come out with...however long that takes...I'll be there...for every...single...one, and I'll remember to bring tissues. 💜

[@Invinci-NeD]

Been specifically excited to see your guys reaction to ep 7, such a bittersweet episode all around (Justice for The Dinger)

[@arcojin-carlosh.9435]

If you do look into the proper LoL lore for these characters do make a video about it. I think the majority of Piltover and Zaun characters won't be spoilers for other seasons. Maybe only Janna, because of where she comes from, but it'd be light spoilers, and Orianna, because she does appear in the series, but her in-gamee lore shouldn't take place until years from where arcane left off

[@leisurecide9478]

Recommend you guys watch Time Masters as well as Gandahar, some classic French animations which this show definitely pulled a lot of inspiration from.

[@mastervodo6840]

What an awesome show.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Did Jinx & Warwick really die or did Jinx free Warwick from the Rune Matrix he merged with? Warwick has a healing factor that makes him indestructible and Jinx couldn't possibly be killed that easily even with her Monkey Bomb Grenade

[@urbanform7714]

For me the show ended when Powder kissed Ekko. I stayed in that one moment!

[@toonami99]

I wonder how they are going to edit out the make out scene in china?

[@mariafriflet9082]

I believe they just skipped it entirely. In the last scene between them, they have deleted one character at the time so they sort of just lean on nothing and look at nothing when talking.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Speaking of Animated, I recommend X-Men 97 Animated series 👌.

[@NickCTorres]

they did Maddie so dirty dawg being the most pure and authentic out there, was used by Cait as a mere distraction, discarded like a napkin at the very first sight of Cait and killed by one of the many, many extremely convenient last second main character shields of the series and worse of all?, none of the ones of on the good side (nor Jinx and Warwick) died on one side i get it, they're champions and their lore must continue, but damn, not killing your heroes after so much drama and intensity takes the worth of the emotion out when they're just inmortal, Jinx's fake sacrifice is just an emotional bait, at the very least, she, Cait and WW should've died, Heimer is understandable because yordles are turbo inmortal

[@VainSoull]

Very disappointing final, overly rushed, very little explanation, too many loose ends, seems like they didn't know how to end this show... and came up with this...🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ anyways, you guys are the best reactors!!

[@Order66Darth]

Jinx isn't dead

[@nullunit]

Greta reaction.

[@TheKeyser94]

You are late for the party, Jinx is not gone, maybe you should pay more attention to the explosion, in the first tiny frame you can see a pink lightning escaping the explosion before it begins, that adding the context of the conversations between ghost Silco and Ekko, Caitlyn investigating the schematics of the Hex Gates, focusing in the vents, and the airship flying away you can conclude that Jinx is not dead, she is going to the continent.

[@Kenichi2002]

so we can asume, we can meet jinx again in the series about noxus/ionia? ^^ (i bet the next series is going to the noxus-ionia war ^^ )
