Arcane - The Boy Savior (Episode 1x7) Reaction

[@mndrew1]

To reiterate the common theme of all modern fiction: "All y'all need therapy."

Pretty sure Ekko is my favorite of the season 1 characters. He's the only one that's presenting a different option than the just "fight/kill each other" of the two sides in this story.

[@olieekailana159]

I agree he's awesome! Plus, he invented a flying skateboard using... magical fireflies somehow?!?! Or at least, I'm assuming there's a connection since the fireflies glow green like the skateboard and the magic of arcane seems to be colour-coded in arcane. Either way he's awesome!

Oh noooo here you are and here we go. XD!

[@nadal1275]

so this episode 7 and there are already 2 more episodes in the playlist? seems like you could not wait for the episodes to be posted before you watch the next one, not shaming just noting with a knowing smile ;)

[@LezbiNerdy]

aaah, no, unfortuately. The 2 more episodes in the playlist are deleted episodes (ie: episodes I uploaded then had to delete and reupload for various reasons -- usually youtube not uploading properly or music getting caught for copyright). For some reason the playlists still list deleted videos as "unavailable" As of Monday morning (my time) I have only watched to Episode 7 of season 1

The bridge fight was the scene I mentioned that might result in some screaming. I hope you didn’t do any throat damage.

[@paristexas108]

Thank you for speaking on how toxic Silco is and that he's using abuser tactics. There were many, but Silco is a good dad, defenders when Arcane first dropped.

[@TalixZen]

I love Arcane so much, but there is one thing I don't understand.... They always talk about Piltover being topside, and above, and Zaun being the undercity and below, but they are connected by a bridge, as if they are next to each other. So confusing.

[@rapunzl347]

This might help a little. Contains spoilers for season 1 and mentions places that may come up in season 2 (I’m not sure if they’ll come up or not). kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6fOfGCDhryWj6Msi=WRUt_w3XlPtbwh8I

@TalixZen kzbin.infoevkK-MQWcYA?si=xPoOZf-cJF2BtZTF this was helpful for me, I couldn't figure it out either lol

[@nadal1275]

I was wrong, Mea culpa everyone -when ekko and jinx face off on the bridge, ekko used his "ultimate" ability, with it he can jump back in time a couple of seconds. so when the artstyle changed and powder/little man where fighting with paintballs, that was real so he knew how to avoid her bullets.- -that is the only thing in the show they didn´t explain well enough in my opinion-

[@cokeandsympathy]

Totally not how I read that. Ekko pulled out the watch to invite Jinx to play a game they did when they were kids, and they reenacted it at the click of the watch. It's certainly a reference to his LoL abilities, but I don't think they're the actual implementation of them.

[@LolaBurger]

*spoilers, Lezbi Nerdy may want to look away* I believe it was confirmed that the Powder/Ekko fight as children was a flashback to them playfighting. Ekko can't yet rewind time as he hasn't invented the z drive yet.

[@Aaniel_al.Meara.]

*Ew thats straight up spoiler.* Ekko doesn't have Z-drive yet and the meaning of that scene was completely different. Judging by the like I take it as Lezby saw that comment. Such a shame, thank you for ruining experience.

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

This is false.

[@nadal1275]

@@LolaBurger wow what? when was this confirmed? I haven´t seen S2 yet, but i do not recall anything in S1 that said otherwise. TBH this blows my mind because i never even had any doubts untill now. EDIT: hm i googeld it and most people seem to agree with you, and it does make sense what the people say, but even after rewatching the scene i can´t see anything but his ult. That will be really hard to wrap my mind around.
