[@emprahsfinest7092]

Ikr he started as a straight up villain and slowly became more sympathetic. He may not have been “redeemed” but him genuinely caring for jinx and shutting down shimmer made him a much more nuanced and sympathetic character.

It makes it feel human and amazing in a very sad but true way.

@@ProvidenceNL powder got this way because of vi, powder already had mental issues long before she met silco and it was shown when she was having a mental breakdown and hitting her head when vi decided to not take her with them to save vander and jinx gave vi a choice that she either will return to being powder or stay as jinx but vi chose the wrong choice and jinx realized that vi only loves powder and not jinx it was all vi’s fault she refused to accept that powder is gone but instead tried to change what jinx is

[@retrodextro]

I concur!

[@LazzyVamples]

Man, even when accidentally killed by her, Silco had nothing but love for Jinx. Now THAT'S acceptance--exactly the acceptance that Jinx wanted when she wanted to be loved despite what she had become. That's why she sat in the chair. And that's why she started a war by the will of an already dead man.

[@Euten]

exactly

[@artfaist]

love is NOT excepting everything a person does you guys are mixing up what unconditional love is its loving without condition with each person. Silco may have been ready to give up everything for jinx his plans but he drilled his plans into her head and thats why she blew up the council cause of his words. She must complete the weapon that was a condition he put on her.

[@abibudgiesisters2406]

Jinx’s dynamic and relationship with her fatherly figures, ie Vander and Silco, were truly tragic and extremely nuance because they were both accidentally killed by her which truly says something about her introspective conflict and that scene where Silco sits beside Vander’s memorial just makes it a butt tonne more painful as they both had the same intentions of protecting her but her mental psychosis was the true antagonist that consumed her and inevitably corrupted her mind of clarity and judgement.

[@ibrahimsurti4922]

Guess what ….both of them died when she tried to save VI… So technically VI is also a jinx when it comes to jinx

[@Aztaable]

Killing Silco wasn't an accident, and Silco being a fatherly figure was just a delusion of hers because he groomed her like that. Silco just used her until the end, only towards the end he realized that he actually feels connected to her, that's why the scene with Vander's statue.

It is often said that a person will show their true colors when faced with death. Say what you will about Silco, but he truly did love Jinx for what she was. Even though the whole dinner table scene was supposed to be VI choosing between Jinx and Powder, when Jinx saw how much Silco loved her as his daughter, the sacrifices he was willing to make for her safety, even comforting her so she won't blame herself for his death, in the end, she made the choice herself. Powder died that day with Silco, and now only Jinx remains. "Here's to the new us". She now wages her own war against Piltover. She will show them, she will show them all.

Grr, you're the worst weapon ever!" "Fishbones, you know what we oughta' do? 'Do the laundry, wash dishes and pay some bills.' Stupid dumb rocket launcher." "Hey Fishbones, think we can wreak havoc forever? 'No, you should buy a home and save for retirement.' You know I can replace you, right?" As you can see, She talks with the Fishbones(rocket launcher), rocket launcher always responds with lines like its her parent. Caring for her. Those lines has been in game for 7 - 8 years.

[@tvolz9749]

I truly believe, that Silco is a very well written character and I was deeply moved at the end. But he was a very egoistic person, who caused every bad thing in the first place with kidnapping Vander. So pls don't say, that he never betrayed anyone. Jinx needed healing and Silco wasn't able to give her that. He destroyed the family she had. He lied to Jinx cause he knew that Jinx would follow Vi, if she had a chance (earlier on). He ordered Marcus to let Vi disappear, so he could have Jinx for himself...I dont see your heroic and noble picture of him at all. I am shocked, that so many people see a hero in a figure like Silco. I can empathize with him, yes. But not sympathize.

[@Attya-y2y]

@@tvolz9749 On the one hand, I don’t find it possible to agree with Silco’s methods. There is no excuse for drugging kids with shimmer and using them, like he did with Deckard, one example among many. Threatening to kill Marcus’ daughter? Can’t be fine with that either. On the other hand, there are sides of him that were also good. That’s the thing with multi-layered characters, they are not fully good or fully evil. He sincerely loved and cared for Jinx, that’s one thing. He had a dream of getting freedom for Zaun and did whatever he could to achieve that, that wasn’t an egoist dream even though we can’t agree with his methods of course. I fully agree that we shouldn’t start painting his character as an heroic good guy though. That’s taking the emotional attachment too far. I love Silco’s character, probably my favourite character in the show, for the multi-layered and deep personality and humanity, but I still consider him an overall « bad » person based on his actions since season 1.

[@MrLittlelawyer]

​@@Attya-y2y I'm starting to see it differently, Silco wasn't a bad man. Silco understood what a lot of people today refuse to understand about the world today. Excuse me for bringing reality into the discussion, but this series has definitely made me reflect on the real world a lot. For example, we decry the Taliban's rule of Afghanistan in the media, and the slave trade of small Afghan girls, the destruction of basic human rights - the slaughter of singers and intellectuals, and so much more. Yet the free nations of the world never had the will to crush the culture of the nation which created those horrors under an iron heel - like what was done with the nationalist culture in Japan through Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or what was done with Nazi Germany's attitudes at Dresden and Hamburg or the Soviet rape of the east. Japan and German are both healthy countries today, free and prosperous. Afghanistan, where all anybody ever talked about was civilian casualties (despite the fact that civilian casualties were, and are, worse under Taliban rule), has just gone back to being what it was before, destroying decades of progress for the people there. Lasting peace has no price. If total destruction of a terrible nation's culture is what is required - wrecking their cities, wiping out their generations, putting everything that they ever know and love to the sword - to buy you and those oppressed by them lasting peace and freedom. Well, the past tells us it is a price worth paying. The attitude that people like Vander have, while perhaps appearing wise, does nothing but allow those who are willing to be cruel to prosper and advance their own causes. It is a sleeping attitude. Ekko's mindset is perhaps the best balance of them both, but you can't fault Silco for his own methods - they are methods people have used in the real world to great effect and given freedom and prosperity to more than a few good people.

[@tommenno]

Silco was a realist who loved his people and his brother, but knew that to earn a place at the table, he had to do the hard things, make the hard choices, and do terrible, brutal things to create the change that plitover refused to even discuss. They would never give them a place of parity, they would never see Zaun as equals, and so they needed to be bent into line. I really, honestly thing killing Vander was the hardest thing he ever did and the thing he never wanted to really do, regardless of their differing stances. He took in jinx as the last part of Vander he could keep for himself, and loved her as much as he was able to love anything.

Jinx story is so sad..everything is just piled up misunderstandings and her being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Arcane is truly a masterpiece, I felt every bit of emotion from each characters!!!!

[@joshgreiner2599]

What blows me away is how all of the misunderstandings that contribute to the tragedy of Jinx are all... understandable. So often plots like this feel incredibly contrived and could be easily solved by characters simply not being stupid, or just communicating clearly. For instance, *spoilers* when Vi says "we can leave forever" in ep 9, you can see for a brief moment how Jinx interprets that, keying in on the 'leave forever' part of it. Many shows would just have that misunderstanding throw Jinx off the deep end, but here Jinx immediately addresses it, telling the voices in her head (probably Milo) that "She didn't mean it like that." Another example is when *Spoilers* Jinx and Vi are re-united before the firelight fight. Almost the first thing out of Vi's mouth is that she wanted to come back, but she was arrested. It's obvious she's played out how that meeting would go in her head for years, and knew what she wanted to communicate first. It addressed what was surely a huge question for Jinx, about *why* Vi never came back, quickly and clearly, removing what would have been a whole scene (or more!) in a less well written show.

Well, that's a first for me. I've been tearing up for 3 weeks now and this particular piece finally made the tear fall out. I cannot believe that this (this video) is the 3rd media to ever make me shed a tear. Last time was over 5 years ago and the time before that was 19 years ago. I'm not the type to cry from almost anything, no matter how tragic. Usually, if anything, it's because of something happy. I'm an extremely positively emotional person. But this melancholy right now... I get more and more emotional the longer time passes and the more I rewatch, listen and think about the series. Especially the music. This has never happened to me before. I was working yesterday (I'm an animator) and it was just so weird as I work and listen to the original "What Could Have Been" and my lip just quivers non-stop for so long. I just stopped listening to the loop because it made it almost impossible to work. Arcane is the best series I've ever seen, bar none. Thank you for this Samuel.

[@Pancakesu]

Silco is now my favorite villain, he loved Jinx and was ready to lose everything just for her. Salute ❤️

[@RossLeyshon]

2:32 - The build up to the crescendo and the way it’s edited with Jinx firing the rocket and the strings KICK IN. Bravo.

[@wanesia870]

the music, animation, story-telling is 10/10. Never been so amazed by a series.

[@annprime2998]

I dont play LOL for 5 years rn. And I will never play it again. But Jinx was my main, my favorite character and after this series, I love her even more. Wish I could hug her honestly.

[@s.hosseinrazavi.n5108]

best song in the entire series for me

[@apache6111]

The song is precious, I cried so much watching this series, I felt empty after I finished it to be honest, the soundtrack was magnific, character development, (specially Jinx who is my favorite), artistically no words are enough to express how beautiful it is.. What a great job you did with this video

[@berkleyadams9020]

After I finished watching, I had to go into my living room to just process everything that happened.

[@apache6111]

@@berkleyadams9020 Right? The impact that this has is unreal..

[@lockekappa500]

Replacing Sting's voice with a cello was perfect. This whole time the cello has represented Jinx and her insanity, it works so perfect here.

[@sekstussekstus1075]

Yeah i actually wouldve prefered an instrumental version in the show. It somehow feels more emotional and less human

[@KoolKat023]

This is going to make me cry all over again

[@imnotsei]

*Don't cry. You're perfect.*

[@Yookosowatashinosoulsouciety]

We will show them all

[@elisaparticelli3680]

i'm an epathic person,like a lot,i suffer phisically and mentally too for others pain.This finale broke me,and reading this while crying for the empathy ,it felt like reading "it's ok,nothing is wrong with u,u can feel like this". You're a stranger but thank u either way if u just wanted to quote our silco

"We'll show them. We'll show them all"

[@polnix01]

I'm sorry for Silco, you could see that he really loved Jinx, I was even more saddened by his death than by the end of the first act. And it was very beautiful to see how Jinx's father figures "took" a drink

[@jordanmcglotten3499]

My heart hasn't experienced such intense feelings of connection, heartbreak, and raw emotion for a fictional character before but every fiber of my being just wants to hug jinx and help her find a place of happiness. This arrangement amplified those intense feelings to a point I couldn't take, so here I am tearing up. I never cry when watching things but I can't stop listening to this heartachingly beautiful song and I keep replaying the final crescendo as she fires the cannon. Samuel Kim, this rendition is complete godlike awesomeness and like Arcane, it is a true masterpieces in the purest form.

[@TheMaitoPulla]

Bless you Samuel. This song makes me depressed every time, but what a great song it is.

[@tylerwhite1636]

In the end, no one won or achieved anything, everyone lost something or someone. Everyone lost in the end. A true tale of tragedy.

[@oishicurrypuffus]

Mr. Samuel been working hard since the first 3 episode

[@blink_once2193]

My god, I’ve had this song on repeat for like the last hour and every time it makes me want to cry, this show and it’s music is truly beautiful. 💙 The music makes the scene.

[@rustkarl]

Gods that sound and that image. Captures the sheer pain and tragedy. Regret. Grief. Bitterness.

[@opbattri8062]

I’m a big fan of Ray Chen but i have to say this: “The violin solo part is so amazing and i cant stop to replay it”. Thanks you Isabelle

[@isabelleaiviolin]

🎻😊🙏

[@hypernol]

They did such an incredible job, this show could go so far with how much lore league has. Been wanting this since 2013, bravo

[@inspektical2393]

Absolutely beautiful strings. Captured all the right feels from the show. I'm right there with you with the post series depression, one of the best shows I've seen in a long while.

[@mikedoge5559]

You know a show is made well when people that dont know a thing about the universe still love it and it leaves them wanting more and full of emotions....and music in shows is for me half of the enjoyment...still listening to Arcane soundtracks and having there Samuel's versions because god damn I love the orchestral versions of his....I cannot wait for season 2 of Arcane

[@ryanmccampbell7]

The buildup of the violin solo is exquisite sweet agonizing bliss. Really breathtaking.

[@KingDami1999]

Arcane is honestly one of my favorite animated shows ever

[@eps4560]

Life doesnt exsist without artists. God Bless them all 🙏

[@vasalini]

So looking forward to your cover for this. You're gonna do it justice

[@joshflorence1998]

I can't express in words how much I love this...

[@tuttithony446]

What a character Silco was. Hated him in the beginning but I lost it when he died. Can't wait for season 2 🙌

[@Nightkrowler]

2:05 gives me chills every single time

[@sanguinemde5031]

Was waiting for this. That ending was....it left me so empty, but in a good way. What a series, what a finale!! What a tune!

[@AjaxPaladin]

I love Jinx's character so much for how brilliant she is regardless of her trauma. If she had grown up in Piltover, I could only imagine that she'd have been Heimer's student as well. I see how broken she is, however I suppose this being fantasy, I can't help imagining a happy older Pow-Pow would have looked a lot like a luckier Sky with a crush on Ekko. Good Lord Samuel / Riot, I never comment on KZbin.

[@ulgrimthemad]

Great show. Silco finally came to understand and respect Vander. He could finally get everything he ever wanted, but the cost was too high. When you've got family to look after, everything else takes second place.

[@octiguapa726]

We need an instrumental version of Isha's song just like you did with this one🙏🙏

[@benjaminmartinet3313]

even after 7 month without watching the show ... still got goosebump listening at your track.

[@admiralarbuz7839]

I feel like people often forget that powder spent her most important teenage years with Silco, she grew up with him, thats when most of her fighting and building skills where developed, and he was more of a father figure for her than Vander...

[@ondrejandydlohos]

You know song is made perfectly when the first notes give your shivers. Thank you, Arcane.

[@maxiloecandra5332]

its very rare to cry over villian that is very evil. but how silco raise jinx as a good parent has amazed me and definetly make me crying

[@ZajDabNeeg4SHO]

I didn't play much LoL, stopped playing in 2013. The game got repetitive and lacked lore, but had amazing character designs. Wasn't sure of what to expect from Arcane, but after watching the show, LoL just took my breath away with emotion. I can't see the characters the same anymore and I can't wait to see how they dive into other characters going forward.

[@Buzzy_Bee_Thoven]

My piano teacher's daughter did violin on this cover-- he didn't start my lesson until he showed this off. You should've heard how much he gushed about her. Doing her papa proud :)

[@Hylian_Drummer]

I really believe that moment was when Powder died and Jinx was truly born. She knew she was no longer the scared and helpless kid, that her sister was no longer the same as she used to be, that in the time they were apart both became, almost like what Vi said to Cait, Oil and Water. I really need the image and the affects to be my desktop wallpaper, if you are kind enough to share them pls let me know.

[@AllieDaines]

I cried listening to this. I had goosebumps. Everyone involved in creating this epic orchestral version is amazing. Thank you. Please keep doing these. You are so talented and the composition is so heartfelt and full of emotion. x

[@attilasedon9593]

You know I rarely get goosebumps these days when listening to music. But holy molly, I got goosebumps from this one. And I think this version is much better than the original (even though the original is crazy good as well.)

[@vadiamgamer9753]

It was just a day at work when I was listening to this song. Out of nowhere, I got a notification that it was the anniversary of my little sister's death. I'm not really one to cry at funerals, but I was always told that I had a delayed response to this kind of thing. This day only served to prove that point. I just couldn't work anymore. I broke down into tears as her face continued to pop up in my head. I had to go sit in a corner away from anyone and just call my mother. She asked me what was going on and all I did was just send her this song. She knew what day it was and knew instantly what was happening to me. I stayed on the phone with her talking to her as I couldn't bring myself to turn the song off of repeat. I just kept listening as the tears fell from my face. Even my coworkers and my boss didn't bother me the moment they saw me trying to hide from the world at that moment. This is a beautiful song no matter how it is composed. The lyrics are perfect. The scene that went with this is perfect. I cannot stop myself when this song comes up. I just let it play and let the music have its way. Thank you @SamuelKimMusic for this arrangement.

[@eladamittai2753]

This show tried to be great, and succeeded on every single aspect!!!!! Absolute masterpiece!!!!

[@mr_camperator]

Everytime i hear this piece, i remember the concert for violin and orchestra of Sibelius

[@AppleBaron]

"Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" - Silco.

[@HasanArthurAltuntaş]

On the edge of a jagged cliff, a vast, dark ocean churns beneath a stormy sky. Thunderstorms crackle in the distance, briefly illuminating the scene with harsh, cold light. In the foreground, a ruined castle sits abandoned, its towers crumbling and overtaken by vines. The wind whips through the dead forest, where twisted trees reach toward the sky. A faint, eerie moonlight filters through the swirling clouds, casting long shadows across the desolate landscape. Despite the grand scale of the scenery, an overwhelming sense of melancholy and solitude fills the air, as if the land itself mourns.

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Well this was just handsome on all fronts!

[@isaacschrauben952]

It still blows me away that they got Sting to do a song for this show. Arcane is such an amazing hodgepodge of talent!

[@breadman6408]

This video deserves more than 1mil even, more. The beauty, the lady that fought and wanted to feel loved, yet was fighting with her demon inside her head, the demon vi put in her. But jinx. WILL SHOW THEM, SHE WILL SHOW THEM ALL!

[@bebopsky]

The violin by Ray Chen at the crescendo, 2:33, then full-blown at 3:00 causes major league ASMR for me.

[@alejandroperez-fs2tk]

Man i'm literally crying.i can't stop cry.

[@keithharper32]

how the hell did you actually manage to make this song even sadder. dammit, I'm crying again....

[@mideygar3766]

Using this arrangement for US nationals in figure skating, thank you for creating such beautiful covers💙

[@ArdaRen]

Hats off to your brother that was an amazing Cello part and performance! The Violinist nailed it as well!!

[@NamHoang-cf2sx]

i have never got post movie depression like this show , this truly a masterpiece

[@m4ngo156]

GUYS STOP, ive never cried so much in my life before, Love this show and your work Sam!!

[@DarkHarlequin]

This ending sequence was haunting! Just flawless.

[@Schyferyel]

Silco to Jinx: "Don't cry, you're perfect." Me: "Fine, I'll do it myself."

[@smiley4842]

If the emotions of those last scenes were only sound this is exactly what you would hear. Hats off to you this is amazing!

[@LionHeartGames1]

I just... CAN'T stop listening to this song. I CAN'T! They took everything from Jinx.

[@Komrade_M]

a legendary series, arcane and now a legendary track by the man himself. youve empowered this scene in my head even more, sir

[@Destroyanor]

I loved that Silco in his final moments even after getting shot by Jinx he didn’t feel betrayed or hatred for her at all. But instead he says” Don’t cry, your perfect” that just made me start tearing up.

[@vjeranjanes5783]

silco is such a good villain. the final scene with him broke me.

[@nikhilkumar3999]

Would I listen to this a million times while thinking about the ending and get hit with the shock and sadness over and over again? As Michael Scott once said "No doubt about it. I'm ready to get hurt all over again."

[@KhoKaPlayzz]

the cello version is killing me man, repeatedly listening can't control myself

[@KrutikovMusic]

It sounds really amazing! Taking off my hat!

[@hornstik671]

This solo violin hits me everytime, the badass of the scene as well.

I am the monster you created You ripped out all my parts And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw And I needed you more I hope you know we had everything When you broke me and left these pieces I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and I want you to lose like I lose when I play "What Could Have Been" Oh, "What Could Have Been" Why don't you love who I am? What we could have been I am your ghost, a fallen angel You ripped out all my parts I couldn't care what invention you made me 'Cause I, I was meant to be yours I hope you know we had everything When you broke me and left these pieces I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and I want you to lose like I lose when I play I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and I want you to lose like I lose when I play "What Could Have Been"
