Arcane Season 2 Episode 9 Reaction - All Things End...

Singed: "I have pulled what you would call a pro gamer move."

In the end he's the only one that actually 'won'

[@vampyre_with_a_suntan]

There are quite a few hints towards the end that Jinx is alive - and that she took the opportunity to do what "Silco" talked about.. walking away. One.. the shimmery reddish flash heading away from the explosion - two, Caitlyn examining the ventilation system of the area that Jinx "died" in.. they found the bomb fragments, but not any bodily remains apparently... and finally: in the very first episode Powder said that one day she'd fly in one of those blimp ships.. and a blimp heading away for parts unknown just happens to be the very last shot of the series. Hopefully we'll have that theory validated one day.

[@xRaiofSunshine]

I hope so 🥺

[@alvintollah]

God, I just realized that the blimp going towards the unknown also means Riot and Fortiche can take whatever comes after Arcane ANYWHERE in Runeterra.

[@jameslong6813]

Jinx is alive. In the most expensive animated show of all time you don't spend the money on Caitlyn examining the blueprints of the Hexgates, focusing on the air ducts while holding a piece of Jinx's bomb, for no reason.

[@Kiroy919]

Thank you, I could not figure out what she was looking for in the diagram at the end there. But that makes a lot of sense.

[@nicespy9790]

Also the purple jinx streak you can see right before the explosion goes off. I think Warwick threw her to safety after seeing the monkey. Then the airship doing the jinx scratchy glitch when her first line in the show was “one day, I’m gonna ride in one of those”.

[@hln4rent]

I agree with this! I have a feeling, with how popular the sisters+Caitlyn’s story is, we will one day see their story continue again either in a comic or hopefully movie/short series.

[@theycallmebad]

What I find funny and interesting is that Mel didn't put a shield around Caitlyn; she encased Maddie inside it so the bullet would keep ricocheting until it hit her.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

The Wolf.

[@davidkoudelka10]

The six-eyed raven at the end is Beatrice, the demon raven familiar of Swain, the Grand General of Noxus. His ravens are always watching… And Orianna is here! And confirmed to be Singed’s daughter! And she looks gorgeous!🥰 But man, what a great series from start to finish!🥹❤️ I know the developers said they were interested in making more series set in different regions, hopefully we get to see the next one in set in Demacia with Garen and Lux against Noxus!

[@alexwang3282]

correction about the raven. it's no Beatrice anymore since Swain rework. and the raven is Raum's, not Swain's yet. confirmed by Christian Linke on a live Q&A.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

@@alexwang3282RAUM Such a cool name for a demon. But also so cool to explain how Swain knows it all. "Faces in the flames...all her fault."

@@SeanBoyce-gp Honestly Swain has some of the BEST quotes in League of Legends. “You can sit on a throne, that doesn't make you a ruler. It only means you have an arse” "I suppose I should be grateful they have the decency to fear me." "They expect me to play fairly... We aren't even playing the same game." "I've heard what they call me. What a waste of their final words."

@@davidkoudelka10 I was so worried they'd go their separate ways by the end of the story. I'm beyond happy I was wrong.

They still ended it off as brothers which I don't ship them but I find it pointless to put Jayce in a relationship with Mel if you don't do shit with it in the end

[@thetexanjedi95]

Jinx is alive. I’m just glad there’s peace now. RIP Jayce and Victor. RIP Loris and the other background characters

[@Yosch-g2o]

Jayce and Viktor might be still alive in some pocket dimension. They could come back at some point in the future.

[@DreamFearless]

Not a chance. RIP Powder, finally at peace

[@davidkoudelka10]

Loris went down like a champion.😭🫡 Here’s to you big guy…✊❤️

[@Yosch-g2o]

@@DreamFearless Check the frames right before the grenade explodes. A purple flash of light beams away from it indicating she used her shimmer powers. In the last scene Caitlyn is looking at the blueprints of the tower while holding a piece of the grenade and found out that there are mutiple vents that would've made for a good escape route. Then we see the airship flying away from Piltover which is a throwback to the very first episode where Powder said that she'll ride one of these one day.

[@bluejaysforever3627]

@@DreamFearless Jinx is 100% alive.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

18:41 not just this. If Maddie doesn't pry at Caitlyns internal thoughts, she can't report her reactions back. Maddie is a whole ass test for Caitlyn. It makes every choice of hers so much more sinister in retrospect. She's the first, maybe only, member of the strike team to start chest thumping. I genuinely think she's been an agent for Ambessa the entire time. Guile.

[@bsolano94]

There's a frame for a split of a second where maddie shots at cait and mel uses her empath magic where maddie has a sinister smile as she shoots. It's the little moments that make this show top tier

[@tyresepitts7594]

I just realized that when Ekko is trying to reach Jayce during the scene they play Ekko's theme from the game

[@Corusame]

I think people are underestimating the ruthless guile of Ambessa. Maddie likely joined the Enforcers the very first day Ambessa arrived with her primary goal to infiltrate the leadership. Like any good general Ambessa knows to always stay one step ahead.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

I genuinely didn’t put any stock into Maddie being a traitor, but whelp. Guess I’m just too trusting. The fact that Sevika, the one who has been trying to rally the Undercity this whole time and whose loyalty is only to Zaun, is the rep for Zaun on the council feels so good man. I think that’s amazing. The fact that Zaun now even has rep is also amazing. Even though it’s clear everything isn’t solved with that. “That’s the drawback of you long range types.” Frickin Smeech of all people with the eye loss foreshadow. Cait taking a page out of VI’s book by being injured, throwing the first punch, and then having an “oh shit” moment when she realizes she’s punching above her weight made me cackle. Her and Mel tag teaming Ambessa was crazy though. Jinx is so alive, and Cait frickin knows. I think Jinx also bailed just so Vi wouldn’t feel guilty about moving on because knew as long as Vi thought she was out there Vi would always put her first.

[@SaintBigfoot]

If you remember all the way back in season 1, Powder’s first spoken lines are: “One day I’m gonna ride in one of those things.” And now at the finale, you see a lone airship flying towards the unknown. And there is a pink flash that darts away from the explosion. She’s out there. And she’s free as a blue bird in the wind, for the first time.

[@everforward5561]

Caitlyn was looking at exit tunnels deeper inside the chasm. In other words, ways Jinx could have escaped.

[@jcam5]

Ooh. A Raven with 6 eyes. Will we see a certain Grand General soon?

[@davidkoudelka10]

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw it!!! The Grand General has eyes everywhere…

[@CimmerianAssassin]

There's a lot of theory already circulating. Jinx is maybe alive. Heimerdinger is probably alive. Wouldn't be surprised if Jayce and Viktor probably come back since they just disappeared into the arcane. They left a lot of open ended possibility. Wouldn't be surprised if they were all dead though. But the creators already said that they wanted to make more stories, so would not be surprised if they all come back

[@antoniochasten3192]

I believe all of the main characters are alive who are presumed to be dead (Jinx, Heimerdinger) and will appear in some form or fashion in future installments of Arcane.

[@dejatwixt9214]

Jinx lived. Not sure why people don't realize it. 1) Caitlyn looking at the bluprints and realizing how many exits there were and her doing a small smile realizing she lived. 2) Did you see the blue lightning during the explosion? she shimmered, there was always blue lightning when Jinx shimmered. 3) Jinx always wanted to be on an airship, hence the final shot. She faked her death to start over. She didn't die.

[@troikas3353]

Nice seeing someone that isn't getting hung up on the fact an incredible show like Arcane dared to make some changes to the half-baked lore of a moba thats already retconned its story twice before this. I do wish there'd been a couple more episodes this season, or even a fourth act, but on the whole I thought it was remarkable and the ending was perfect.

[@Inverted10H]

I'm conved by all the nerds in these comments that Jinx is alive and on her way to date a magical girl in England or smthing now.

[@Inverted10H]

I was so blindsided by the Maddie reveal. As a woman respecter i thought "now hang on a sec, let's not demonize this girl for things outside of her control why do ppl hate her-" and then this..... idont get it. was she a spy the whole time??!??

[@RedEveTillDawn]

As a younger sister, it hurts in a different way.. but I get you sis ♥

[@chrisspigelmyer5855]

I seen someone say they don't even think Maddie was a spy but because of Caitlyn using her that just pushed Maddie right to Ambesa's side

[@sqxbarto9229]

For me, she was sus since she appeared out of nowhere. The way she talked to Vi, I felt she was a two-faced b, but my guess was she was a Black Rose spy later on when she tried to talk Cait out of the war. Maybe she switched sides out of jealousy, but her line sounded like Cait was a job for her all along.

[@antoniochasten3192]

@@sqxbarto9229 I didn't think she was Ambessa's spy until Ambessa walked in and asked Caitlyn she needed to speak to her alone. That scene was in Act 1 but I don't remember the episode. Maddie walked out and closed the door halfway to listen. I thought I was wrong and she was just eavesdropping because she didn't trust Ambessa but then Ambessa warns Caitlyn "of the hazards of professional entanglements." That line just stuck with me and I really felt like Maddie was a plant from Ambessa.

[@Corusame]

I think people are underestimating the ruthless guile of Ambessa. Maddie likely joined the Enforcers the very first day Ambessa arrived with her prime role to infiltrate the leadership. Like any good general she always wants to be one step ahead after all.

Interesting how season _one_ ended with everything being neatly wrapped up, while season two - the _series finale_ - ends with so many questions

[@_MicZ_]

I've now seen a lot of fan theories surrounding Jinx's sacrifice and I'd like to counter a few of the more common ones with a different point of view: - Concerning the supposed "shimmer trail" being Jinx's escape just before the monkey bomb explodes: watch the beginning of episode 9 where Jinx tries to end it over and over with the same monkey bomb. If you can't see the purple lights, pause it at the beginning of the explosions. Her monkey bomb is a combination of Chemtech, Hextech and Shimmer(!) ... (they clearly show that at the beginning of the scene) - About the ending scene with Caitlyn: she's documenting what happened for future generations, completely in the Kiramman tradition using schematics and voice recording (=her monologue leading into that scene). She then smiles when she hears Vi humming and walks over to her and starts the conversation by mentioning her humming/singing. (I think it's quite a leap to conclude that Jinx escaped through the vents based on Caitlyn using schematics in the same way her mother did) - The airship at the very end being "the airship Powder always wanted to ride": airships were previously also used to show Piltover's progress and considering what Caitlyn was talking about in her monologue voice-over at the start of the scene, that seems like an appropriate way of ending that scene. (Also: Powder/Jinx already flew on one in episode 4 season 1) But there are lots of hints that point to Jinx still being alive, right ?! Well there certainly are a few things that could be interpreted that way, however ... Already in season 1 the show is telling us that Jinx is willing to kill herself (bridge scene anyone?), after that in season 2: - they show us that after Silco died she was "already dead inside" and ready to "watch it all burn" - they show us that she's totally OK with Vi killing her, saying "I'm glad it's you ... it had to be you" - they show us she's extremely depressed and self harming after losing Isha and Vander - they show us how she actually ended her life multiple times(!) while Ekko tries to save her - they show us that she heroically sacrifices herself for Vi, smiling and hugging Warwick on the way down and blowing them both up Saying it's "very clear" that Jinx survived makes me think that either you're in denial or just repeating what others said. (I can think of another reason, but I'd like to remain civil 🙂)

[@kira-dk2mx]

Vi finally got to ride on that airship.

[@jakecassar6554]

That was Jinx on the airship. Vi and Caitlyn are in Caitlyn's house, hence the 'computer'.
