[@Izaac_Artist]

Am I the only one that feels kind of underwhelmed and disappointed to how they decided to end it? Along with the episode before this the moment Vi was having a breakdown in the cell she should've ripped Cait a new one and Cait then tells her how she feels and both have MAJOR development in that moment am I crazy !?!?😅😅 and to add a cherry on top literally nobody else had any resolution at all and because of this and how disappointed I AM I had to watch The Wild Robot TWICE along with BUMBLEBEE !!!!!!!!!

Yes and no. That universe belonged to a different person. An Ekko who hadn't spent more than a decade watching Powder murder his friends. That's why he led with "Can we pretend" before the kiss. He has those feelings for her, but this is not his world. He isn't this person, too much has happened.

In the very first episode of the show, Powder saw a blimp and said "One day, I'm gonna ride one of those things." I strongly believe she's still alive. That last shot is there for a reason.

[@bumblebeeproductions1673]

My theory is that she purposely faked her death so she could leave and figure herself out while at the same time letting Vi be happy with Cait

[@saltyfrog3339]

I defo think shes gonna appear as a main character of a spin off show

What if it a symbolism of her passing? Like she dreamed to ride one of those things when she was little and she passed and her soul is passing on that ship

[@K_Petar]

@@ΘΘΝΘ-β5ξ All the proof so far: Silcos speach about walking away to break a cycle - jinx says shes gonna do that / A litlle red line animation right before Vander explodes, for a second, why animate that single 1 line escaping the explosion? Its bcs its jinx escaping / Last 2-3 mins of the ep are about Caitlyn looking at the ventilation system exactly where Jinx fell, why waste last minutes of the show on Cait randomly looking at the vent ducts? / Jinx or "powder" in episode 1 saying one day shes gonna ride one of the blimps - showing a blimp at the end of the episode.

[@OzzkarB]

If you slow down the explosion, right at the start you can se a single streak of purple shimmer. Suspiciously looking like it is going towards the air vents that Caitlyn is looking into. (This is also why people suspect Caitlyn smirks as she looks at the blueprints and the bomb. She thinks she figured it out.)There is a genuine possibility, she survived and with the explosion. She faked her death, she outran it before the explosion went off.

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

What kills me is that If you think about it, you literally can t think of a timeline where Jayce and Viktor live happily. Viktor always dies of illness without meeting Jayce and inventing hextech, and Jayce always commits s*icide without meeting Viktor and inventing hextech (hence why they aint in the alternate universe without hextech)... In a way we saw their "happiest" timeline, which is a tragedy in itself, coz if they dont meet they die, if they meet they cause death.

Just to be clear, Jinx is alive. When Cait was looking at the hexgate design and the piece of Jinx bomb, she smiled because she figured out that Jinx escaped through the air conducts that they showed us. The explosion was right below the tunnels. Jinx found the way to walk away from everyone like Silco said, because she believed that everyone would be better without her. In the last scene we can see the shot of an airship with Jinx signature after. Powder said ,, One day i'm gonna ride one of those things'' in S1 E1

[@inikko]

When she smiled it was because she heard Vi Singing.

Cait is fingering with a Jinx monkey toy head in that scene as well. Same with "The End" being in a Jinx font, It's all on purpose.

Jinx definitely lived. This show doesn't treat their audience as idiots so they didn't show it outright but left enough clues to pick up on it, which is awesome. When the explosion goes off, you can see the line of shimmer going out of the explosion, then later Caitlyn is looking at the blueprints of the shaft that Jinx fell into, showing you there's a vent in the same direction of where the line of shimmer went towards earlier, then the final shot is an unknown blip flying off away from Piltover, which in Season 1 Powder said she'd love to one day do, and then you get the Jinx-like "THE END" flash on the screen before the credits. Jinx is on the blip, leaving Piltover behind and both Vi & Cait are probably aware she's alive, but giving her time & space, just like Jinx said earlier "Always with you, even when we're worlds apart.".

[@Kevster921]

Yeah, I definitely agree. Like, maybe I could buy the blueprints and the airship as coping/a nice theory - but there is no way in hell Fortiche put in that shimmer trail there for no reason. The trail is what takes it from probable to certain for me.

[@JustCauseFan]

it could also just be the producers way of leaving it up to your imagination, in my opinion it doesn't make sense she survived

[@hahahaha-rt6lb]

I agree that Jinx is most likely alive, but I don't think Cait and Vi know. Vi, just like Ekko, believes completely that she sacrificed herself in the explosion. Cait wonders why the remains other than the top piece of the monkey bomb cannot be found and investigates the airduct system of the hextower in the Kirraman computer, but soon gets interrupted by Vi's humming.

[@skipx]

Definitely agree, just like alternate timeline Silco and in episode 7, Jinx and Vi need time apart before they can rebuild their relationship.

[@bouboulroz]

​@@JustCauseFan it does for Jinx's arc. In the cell, Jinx finally reach the conclusion that the only end to the cycle is to walk away. At first she sees this as dying, but Ekko puts her on another path. So she walked away from everything to maybe build something better somewhere else.

I hate that this masterpiece is over, but this is as close to the best outcome we could get. Hex tech is gone, Ambessa and the Black Rose are gone, Jinx and Vander are at peace, Piltover and Zaun are finally united and at peace, and Vi and Cait are not only together and got a true happy ending.

[@Ejay669]

Given what we know Black Rose aren't gone but I can't see them messing around with Mel since Ambessa is dead. If we follow the crow at the end into the next show he'll probably have some dealings with them if it's his rise to power.

[@bismarck5537]

Kinda jarring that a warrior as strong as Ambessa dies from something as simple as thorns. Unlike the other victims, she wasn’t crushed by the thorns either as Mel was there to save her. She kinda deserved to die after what she had done but we do understand why she did those acts. Besides, she is the newly released champion lol. It’s wild that they killed her off. I don’t know which is canon anymore because Riot once said that Arcane universe is now canon.

That crow teases the Noxus Storyline after Arcane. It's either the beginning of Swain or the birth of Fiddlesticks. Noxus probably the next story since Black Rose appearance and I feel like that was LeBlanc.

It's definitely Swain rather than Fiddlesticks; six eyes, it was looking to see if the Jayce/Viktor implosion left any artefacts and it flies with the Noxus fleet. It does grieve me that they left that character shadowed rather than just pulling the trigger for it to be Leblanc, it's not like non-league audience would be confused cause you're just introducing another character like they've already done previously..

After watching this episode I was both angry and crying (yes real men cry) and I was reading what other people thought and what they where feeling and the following observation, which I take no credit for, is spot on and brought a sense of relief to my fragile 💜. If you slow down the explosion and look at the top right you will see a streak of purple quickly move out of frame. Also Caitlin puts two and two together showing emphasis on the tunnels that lead out of the hex gate. The show ends with a Zeppelin flying off which hints back to the beginning of the show with Powder saying how she wanted to fly in one. And the last frame of the show says "THE END" in Jinx's art style.

For those who don't know, the raven that arrived at the end is one of Swain's ravens that probably took the Hextech sphere and went with Mel to Noxus, he is another member of the Black Rose. In the end it turns out that the mage they called the deceiver is LeBlanc, leader of the Black Rose. I guess the Black Rose won in the end.

[@iamleal7138]

Swain isnt a member of the Black Rose. They represent everything the hates He is trying to bring them down, and they trying to kill him

[@josecarlosgonzalezgaitan3738]

Incorrect, Swain is one of the three grand leaders of Noxus, infact he was the one that overthrow the last emperor of Noxus (Who was being used by Le blanc), and the one that the Black Rose wants death the most, as his cunningness and intelligence constantily puts him two or three steps ahead of Le blanc, so the next stage of Arcane is probably going to be a spin off about Swain raise in power, Ionia and the Black Rose plans.

Jinx is alive. Remember 1x1, she always wanted to fly that airship in the last scene. Cait is looking at Jinx's grenade and the schematics of the building where she "exploded" together with Warwick, theres several ducts leading out of the building. If u slow down the scene with the explosion you can see a shimmer trail leading out through those ducts, thats her. Jinx wanted to die, but Silco's "ghost" suggested she should run away and start fresh. After she actually managed to save someone from death for once she felt there were perhaps a place for her in this world afterall.

Maddie has been a baddie the whole time

[@notes6987]

Don't worry guys, there are 3 main details that point out to Jinx's survival. The first one is on the explosion itself, there's a frame during it where you can see a long purple flash (shimmer) indicating that jinx avoided the blast last minute, this is further confirmed by Caitlyn afterwards when she's lookin through the Kiramann files and looks at the place where explosion took place and there are bunch of tunnels there, this kinda resembles how Luke avoided his death in "Empire Strikes Back" using the vents as a way to get out. The final detail is on the very last shot of the episode where you can see a scene with a zappelin that mirrors perfectly the scene from episode 1 of season 1 where Powder says " Someday i will ride on one of those" so in the end all is well, Jinx is just taking a deserved vacation for everything that she's been through, also leaving Vi and Caitlyn alone like she said she would back when she talked to Vi in prison.

Jinx did not die in the explosion. Instead, after burying Vander with her own hands, she faked her own death and completely entrusted Vi to Caitlyn. In the dungeon, hearing Silco's whispers once again, she resolved to break free from the cycle of her fate in the twin cities. No matter her identity or original intentions, her actions only brought pain to herself and those around her. Ironically, she is the type who cares most deeply about her family. Fortunately, Ekko stopped Jinx from following through with her thoughts of suicide. His emotional arc in another timeline wasn’t superfluous. His experience inventing the Z-Drive with Jinx helped him realize that her madness didn’t stem solely from familial tragedies or the twisted nature of the undercity. Instead, it came from the struggles she would face even in a relatively peaceful environment-balancing her pursuit of self-worth with her inability to let go of familial bonds. “Some birds are not meant to be caged; their feathers shine with the light of freedom.” Or, in other words, Jinx is simply Jinx. Across all timelines, no matter what she endures-be it the warmth of a harmonious family or the agonizing distortions of causing loved ones’ deaths-her soul cannot be confined. She is destined to be a solitary figure. After saving Vi, the one person she truly cared about, Jinx finally boarded the airship she always dreamed of flying, free to chase her true self without the weight of pain. I think I fully understand Silco now-Jinx is perfect.

Beautiful

[@Zibi21]

Jinx is alive, she goes away in that blimp just like she wanted to fly one of those in s1e1. When we see Vander blowing up the candle, before the explosion there is that pink shimmer line from the explosion towards top-right. Cate looked at the left overs of the bomb. The pieces remained yet not a piece of body, Cate looked into the tower schematics and saw ventilation pipes leading out. Meaning Jinx faked her death and left, Vi thinking Jinx is dead can move on with her life without constant worry or guilt, so now Vi will not rush to find her. Jinx left everyone behind so she can move forward.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Silco foreshadowed it ❤️ Glad she’s out there somewhere

[@TamNguyen-zs3gc]

The last moment of explode, if u watch slowly ( 0.5 ) ,you can see the telltale pink line of jinx moving at shimmer speed as the explosion happens. we also see ww is also crying, i think he let her go and she was able to escape the explosion

[@amberpriceedits]

Goodbye Arcane. We’re always with you. Even when we’re worlds apart. We’ll see each other again one day… across the river.

[@artisunleash]

It's been a hell of a journey with you guys! Thank you so much for sharing your love for Arcane with us! Can't wait for the next journey in Runeterra with you!

[@ghalibsohail9781]

Man, this series was EPIC! Well, I'm happy that the two sides of the Utopia are together in peace, Vi and Caitlyn are together. Jinx is alive if you don't know, she is able to move quick with the Shimmer ability, so you can see when she bombs Warwick she escapes just before the explosion, and Caitlyn saw that Jinx is alive by looking at the escape routes she took. Apart from that, I think Riot games should make more LoL shows, cos this one was actually AMAZING!

[@PhoenixPrime]

I was sobbing during the final few minutes of the episode, but despite my heartbreak, I can't deny just how amazed I am. Hands down, Arcane is one of the BEST animated series that I've ever watched in my LIFE!!!!!

[@iRoseRiyadh]

Thank you so much for the genuine reaction of the show. I really appreciate your efforts. You guys are amazing.

[@Endless_Titan]

Jinx is alive with the callback to ep 1 with her wanting to ride an airship and her finding the will to simply walk away. It could have been more explicit but I think this quiet and vague ending fits her really well imo

[@blackjk1234]

You know at the last moment, when Jinx drew out the monkey bomb, Vander could saw that and regain his mind for a second and shield her from the blast. The monkey bomb was what reminds him of Power when they first encountered, also the flashback of vander seeing the monkey bomb in Powder's room.

[@Keldon334]

This probably wont be the last show riot does, league of legends has a huge lore reserve that can be explored. I believe arcane only explores or shows about 7 or 8 out of the like 150+ playable characters in the game so keep that in mind for the future.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

Tiny piece of Lore Deep Dive: The Wolf is also the Noxian embodiment of death. Most Runeterrans cultures see death as a duality, on one side the Lamb and the other the Wolf. Ambessa's Canon prequel music video strongly suggests that she made a literal deal with death while pregnant with Mel. She has always known Mel was special, but constantly challenged her as "not the wolf," and we took that as a metaphor, but Ambessa meant it. She didn't see the promise of the power of Death in her daughter. When she looks at Mel as she's dying, she says "You ARE the Wolf," she's also literally seeing death.

[@BraanFlakes08]

i cant even begin to express how awesome it is that you guys have consistently gotten these reactions out so fast AND make them such quality videos. Been subbed to the channel for a while now, you guys are among the top in my head when it comes to commentary and the vibe here is always great. Arcane has been a wonderful journey to share with you guys, cant wait till we get our next taste of what riot has to offer!

[@alexie5201]

I just want to thank you guys for your reactions, always so insightful and on point. Arcane is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen, I'm gonna miss it enormously :(

[@gokuryo]

Jinx Alive : Caitlyn smiling when she sees in kiramman archives that there are ventilation shafts where Jinx could have escaped because her body wasn't found, the explosion scene shows a trail of shimmer running away, and in the first episode of the first season powder says that one day she will fly in an airship, which is how the second season ends.

[@cw1345]

This has gotta be the greatest writing and visuals I’ve ever seen, honestly I can’t think of a better story.

[@KingCajete]

Great analysis and awesome reactions! Good video guys! Thanks for a good watch!

[@TakaHans35]

Just seeing a crow... in everything we've seen of Arcane it's too much of a coincidence to theorize once and for all that "soon" we'll finally see Jericho Swain... This show has more than approved that they can be built incredible stories with great animation behind them within the Gaming industry. I thank you for reacting to the entire Arcane saga... you are by far the best channel on the entire internet where your reactions are genuine and pure... I feel happy for everything you have achieved this year. A big hug and a kiss for both guys, you deserve it.

[@victorjacobs4868]

Jinx lived btw she escaped in the air ducts that is what Cait was looking at in the end of the episode and that was her on the blimp at the end. She walked away like Silco told her too.

[@daviddastoli3926]

At the end, Caitlyn is looking at the venting systems of the hexgates. Indicating she knows Jinx escaped through one of them. She is also smiling so I have a strong feeling jinx survived. Also in the first episode, she says “one day I’m gonna fly one of those things” talking about the air ship.

[@amberpriceedits]

Ambessa reminds me of the Timothy Zahn Thrawn. Such a good villain.

[@justleo47]

the sounds design on this episode in particular was PHENOMENAL

[@akoskralik3053]

There's too many hints indicating she very probably survived. The flash of purple light when the blast happened, Cait looking at the scematics where you can see there's air ducts connecting the chamber, having a part of her monkey bomb, which clearly indicates they went there to search for her, but found no body, and the air ship flying away at the end, which is in line with her dream from S1 that she always wanted to fly one of those and also in line with what Silco said to her in her cell: Only way to end the cycle of death is, walk away. So, while it got me in the heart when it happened, after the episode was over, and I found out about these, this feeling immedately faded.

[@waltertabora9566]

I’m not gonna lie what they did to vander aka Warwick pretty horrifying and sad. Imagine seeing you dad already a monster and now driven more as a monster but his design was pretty dope

[@olgagrygorieva2194]

To people who say Jinx wouldnt escaped even if she had a chance, you are convinced that she had lost any hope or will to live, but the interesting detail that may be pointing to her still having something to hold to, is the design of her clothes after she makes an etrance on a balloon: after Isha's dead we see her top losing the X symbol, which may imply on the identity crisis even severer than the one of Powder\Jinx, but at the balloon scene we see it again present but painted on her clothes, to someone as me who really refuses to accept her death its a small but formidable hint of her having a reason and will to start anew

[@granddaddyotaku636]

Can we just say Ekko was the MVP at the end 😭 Jayce certainly helped guide Viktor back to sanity. But maaaaan if Ekko hadn't had the will to go the distance, the world would be doomes. That boi saved the world. What a fuhkin' hero 🔥🔥🔥

[@SOAPhia083]

The fact that they perfectly replicated Vanders first death scene with Vi😭her injured shoulder, her holding her cheek. And the way she said "Vander" even when he was attacking her shows she wasn't ready to let him go

[@rega5888]

At least Singed got happy ending. Dont think he deserve it, but im still happy. I feel so sory for Jayce, Ekko and Mel, Jayce especially. The three eye crow is a crow that Swain is controling so Noxus is next. Hope Draven will be the main character or Urgot

[@brendonulen]

Thanks for getting it out quick. New subscriber. I needed somebody to cry with

[@LordR_]

Hello, I would like to take this opportunity at the end of this series to tell you that I am a French viewer and I really like watching your reaction videos (I personally prefer watching the English audience than the French audience because they are generally a little too critical concerning cinema), I also loved the Arcane series and I had the chance last week to meet 2 of the animators from Fortiche Production, the studio which produced this series and I really enjoyed this exchange with them , they are really happy with the feedback on this series because it's a big project that took a lot of time but they also said that they learned a lot and improved by making this series and always aim to go further and experiment on new things. new animations (like the scene of Caitlyn's mother's funeral for example) which I can't wait to see in their future projects ! P.S: According to people who have been observers (and I agree with them on this), Jinx is not dead at the end, if we look closely at the way of animation, during the explosion, we see a feature of the Shimer goes out at the time of the explosion towards the conduits, Caitlyn watching the archive footage fixes the point on the conduits too and at the end we see an airship at the end which suggests that it is Jinx who leaves as she wanted at the end. start of the season 1 when she was a child.

[@Invader_Rin13]

I'm pretty sure out of everyone who... "died" only one of them actually did. I go by the rule if you don't see the body, they're probably still alive. The only one for sure is Ambessa. And this isn't me "coping" I legit went through the episodes over and over again after thinking about them and seeing what other people thought. Jinx, you clearly see a streak of purple/pink moving away just before the explosion. Couple that with Cait looking at the vents where she fell and then a shot of the blimp, the thing that Powder said she wanted to ride at the start of the show. She pulled a Loki and removed herself from the people she cared about. Viktor & Jayce, these guys are literally magic now and probably teleported somewhere else the way there were just sucked into Jayce's gem, the gem that Future Viktor gave him then implanted into his arm. Warwick, motherf*cker survived one explosion, a super charged one at that, and before that his head being split open. Doubt he's dead either. Heimerdinger, again if he died I would have expected a body or dust left in his place. He probably teleported somewhere else after linking the time-machine. Overall, amazing show. I'm expecting either cameos or crossovers to whatever new show takes over. I'm hoping to continue Mel's story and the Black Rose storyline.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We need a continuation…however that may come. They set too many great things with this season. And yes, we agree. If there’s no body there not dead. Thought about it while we were editing. That shot of Caitlyn looking at the plans plus everything else you mentioned makes it clear Jinx is out there. Silco foreshadowed it.

[@An_Attempt]

They never found Jinx's body. Note that Cate is looking at the air ducts of the tower while looking at the remains of the munky bomb. There was also a very short flash of pink just before the explosion. Next is the ending sean, which is in Jinx's style floating away on an air ship. So She may have gotten the chance to just walk away from it all.

[@Hadrian9707]

Arcane is over, but the creators said they wanted to work on more stories from the League of Legends universe. Based on the small hints we've gotten in Arcane, people are assuming that the next series they'll do is gonna be based around Noxus and a certain Noxian ruler named, "Jericho Swain." Arcane since season 1 has had tons of crows that are constantly watching the characters and what happens to them. The crows seemed to take a very big interest in Jinx (powder) especially. These crows more than likely belong to Jericho Swain. I don't know that much on the League of Legends universe so somebody who knows more can probs add on to my comment, but I think it's a pretty accurate guess on who the next series will be about or at least have in it as a potential villain since Jericho Swain apparently does a lot of stuff with crows. The crow with the three eyes at the end of this episode is what solidified it for me.

[@TheWanderer_1]

I wonder if Ekko repeated that fight against Viktor at the end only to go "Fuck it, I'm gonna yeet this thing at him." We only see him succeed at the end, but it makes me wonder if what we saw at the end was his last course of actions. Either way, Ekko fan day 1. He's my GOAT! ( And Main )

[@amberpriceedits]

Thank you so much for this journey.

I first watched you when you did the arcane session 1 reactions, cool to see it come to a close.

[@Daveey_]

Jinx is alive. Right b4 the explosion u can see pink line. That is jinx escaping. Another clue is when cait was watching escape routs when jinx used to escape and she used the same route. And jinx said that she one day will go trough wents . 😢 AMAZING ARCANE

[@aPerson78A]

SHE IS ALIVE😢❤ Just see one frame before explosion A purple light of SHIMMER

[@karolinask_cz]

Hello League of Legends/Runeterra lore master and lore lover is back to work. And I must say that even with my knowledge of Runeterra lore. I'm just overwhelmed by a big mental blow. I'm also glad that Riot Games bought out Fortiche studios because it was confirmed that they are already working on something else and apparently it won't just be cinematics, series but probably also movies. Well, I'll probably have to wait for some explanation from Necrit because this finale was simply heartbreaking. When Necrit returns from America A.L. Arcane dernieru what he received as an invitation. So I'm sure when he returns he will release Arcane season 2 explaination and hidden details he will definitely release at least 2 videos. _________ . . . . . . It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana, the potential that Mel could become a new champion, parallel worlds and Silco in every scene he appeared he stole the spotlight. -------------------------- And the way Riot Games ended the stories by killing 6 champions is just wow. --‐‐‐----------------------- The new champion Ambesa Metard got extra love from Riot Games and the official IP team. Cinematic Blood sweat and tears, a story on the League website and after Arcane came out the Novel book Arcane Ambesa Chosen of the Wolf. And its ending is great. Heimerdinger finally got a good story, not just some character description on the League website, a preview in the Jinx comic and the lore game Hextech Mayhem. And even though he is a Yordle, so he should return/reborn in Bandle City = Spirit Realm but I don't think that will happen. Jace and Viktor are a big question, because I can't say for sure if they died or if they are ending the "timeloop" paradox of parallel universes (#blue stone with always a different Rune). Warwick is still questionable, because he could possibly return in his more werewolf form from the Cinematics and games. And Jinx = Powder her sacrificial death hit me the deepest in the heart. Her beginning with the Get Jinx Cinematic and her ending in Arcana created by the same French studio Fortiche, it's the greatest love story for art.

[@BadDubII]

Jinx is defo alive, you can see a purple shimmer before the explosion, then caitlyn was looking blueprints for where she "died" and it zoomed in on some vents, then jinx saying she wanted to be in one of those blimps in season 1 and it ends with that shot along with "The End" text in the Jinx font

[@afterburnnz]

ekko saved everyone and nobody knows, he really is the boy savior

[@neonebu34]

I don't know warwick but Jinx lives. Last scenes Caitlyn figured out how she escaped from air filters and then smiled. At the ending shot we see a balloon going, at very first season and very first episode of arcane Powder sees a balloon and says "one day i'm gonna ride one of those things".

[@FanaticGam3r]

everyone hated jayce but him and ekko basically saved everyones ass

[@theprocrastinator12]

I think the hate died down a bit after this, I know some people are stll gonna hate him but Im glad some people have seen why he was so desperate

[@yanavause34]

I swear the God I've never cried this hard over anything! I'm so heartbroken but there's a theory that Jinx actually gone away! In season 1 when she was lil she looked at the the aerostat and said "One day I'll be flying one if these things" and in the end we see it flying away. And Cait was researching and I think she might figure out Jinx might run away actually through the tubes. Man I hope I'm right but we will never know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔

[@kamikazelemming1552]

For context on the Six-Eyed Raven, that's one of the familiars of Swain, the leader of Noxus, the nation Mel and Ambessa hail from.

[@jeanmich6190]

The way I understand it is that Mel mom's was being manipulated by the mage from the black rose, that's why she says to her I see you deceiver. Also at the end I think it is Swain's crow

[@shannarong3475]

As many have commented, Jinx is alive and managed to escape through the air ducts. Remembering Silco's words, she chose to walk away, convinced that Vi and the others would be better off without her. She fulfilled her dream from the first episode of the show by getting to ride in an airship. After Cait figured out how Jinx managed to flee, she gave a faint smirk, seemingly ready to share the story with Vi to delight her. BTW, I personally believe that Heimerdinger is the only one who has truly died. There's a possibility that the rest could somehow make a comeback.

[@rindayoo_]

Thank you so much! It’s so rewarding seeing you guys enjoy these. Thank you for making our day

[@BambamGogh]

My only question is why did Warwick was able to move and act if all the other “puppets” deactivated before? I dont mind it too much even if its a “plot hole” cause at the end we have a Powder in another universe without her Vi. So there’s that for them to “get together”

[@KawaiiSoulB42]

Why does this show mess with my heart stings. I Just finished watching it myself. The Orianna reveal got me so hard. We get more back story to Ekko on how he got the device. RIP Heimdinger! HE THE REAL MVP

[@Schlumbersack882]

I will binge watching whole youtube for all reactions of this show

[@fratbey7986]

Right at the explosion scene with jinx and vander look at top right you will see a purple line going out just from that direction (purple line is the eye trace of the jinx, we have seen it all season). At the final scene caitlyn inspects the design of the tower while holding the bomb piece in her hand realising jinx fleed the scene

[@Hermina-ki1xm]

I think jinxs didnt die. At the finale Catheline was looking at the towers ventilation with one part of jinxes bomb and smiled. I think jinxs went through the ventilation because the monster was too big and couldnt go after her❤❤❤❤ This is my opinion so dont take it seriously🎉🎉❤❤
