FIGHTING AND FAMILY!! | Arcane Episode 5 Reaction (S2)

[@stomyn]

Here's a creepy little detail concerning that final scene. The Hexgate core room is cold. We can tell because when Heimerdinger, Ekko, and Jayce are talking in their, we are constantly seeing their breath. Even in this scene, Jayce's breath is clearly visible. And yet, despite the consistency, we never see Salo's breath

[@alexross911]

Wow. I love the detail to this show. It does add to the feeling that something is...off with them after Victor does his thing.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

That group hug at the end was so heartwarming. League of Legends always hinted at the fact that Warwick would never hurt kids because he has these fractured memories of little girls. And There are lines in the game where he recognizes Jinx and Vi The way Arcane portrayed him, especially here, broke me. It makes me wanna cry and cheer at the same time.

[@aspieanarchist5439]

That is indeed Orianna. Caitlyn referring to Singed as Dr. Reveck confirms it. Dr. Corin Reveck was Orianna`s father and creator .Which means in this universe the kindly old man who helped Ekko out in "Convergence" becomes Singed of all people!

[@pieperson444]

i dont think convergence is canon. too many characters are wildly out of character

[@aspieanarchist5439]

@@pieperson444 I figured. The artstyle and plot couldn`t make its mind whether it wanted to be Arcane or the core universe half the time.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

the ending of this episode where Vi, Jinx, and Isha group hug Warwick (a.k.a. Vander) is truly a heartwarming moment of this season

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

Yeah, too bad it ended so anticlimactically with them just hugging down in the mine, but I'm still satisfied with such a happy ending to the series!

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@@TheFrugalVideoGamer same here, ever since this season started it's been nothing but deaths and dispairs but now it finally got a happy moment

[@DanGamingFan2406]

As Vander, his death tore two sisters apart. As Warwick, he brought them back together. Such beautiful writing. And then...💀

[@being47]

This was the last episode of the series I don't know what you are referring too , maybe game lore.

[@Morinaawa]

And then what? That's where the story ends, they all live happily ever after.

Powder I forgot his name but Vi’s drinking buddy was actually really dope (A real one) he went to hang out with Vi when she was at her lowest point it really sucks she kept pushing him away 😞

[@SeinIshamiado]

[@enchantedskullbit]

His name is Loris

whatever Jayce saw had my man FUCKED UP

[@dwightlangston5444]

13:18 If you remember way back in the opening scene of the first episode when Vander saved Violet and Powder from being killed by enforcers, you see a shot of their dead mother. And from then on he looks after them and becomes their adoptive father.

[@greenknightofwar7024]

The flash back scene put season one into a whole new context. Since Vander and Silco knew their mother, and the fact that they are responsible for her death.

[@declanmugford987]

I mean, vander's letter even said that the dirt was on both their hands, so I imagine that the drowning scene happened after the intro rather than before

[@sedpotato251]

Crazy how that dude got his jaw beated up by Vi in ss1 now make a come back to get his jaw knock away by Vi again lmao Powder ( 0w0)b

[@wozing]

That's what I thought, but we've got 3 episodes left. You think we'll actually get anything with her?

[@rururi6277]

@@wozingeh doubtful maybe a flashback perhaps

[@Clarste]

@@wozing Considering she needs to be a robot and that isn't really the direction Singed has been heading, Viktor might do something to her, I guess.

[@LizardwithaHat]

@@wozing Well Singed just got enlisted for noxus and we know he will be in ionia to do warcrimes and stuff. Maybe next "season" will be noxus/ionia story line with singed and soon to be ori as central characters

[@YouAnd_OnlyYou]

Powder. Very interesting detail about the ending: Back in episode three, as Jayce, Heimer, and Ekko are down in the Hexgate core room, it's so cold that you can see their breath. Here in episode five, you still see Jayce's breath, but you don't see Salo's.

[@luisjauregui2197]

It would be kind of crazy if we found out that Silco suggested Powder in the same way that Vander named Vi. That would mean he named her twice

[@ultradude15]

Technically speaking, Mylo and Vi named her the second time.

[@dropdeadcynical4646]

Anyone notice that we could see Jayce’s breath at the end but not the minion? Something else is going on with Viktor.

[@zalla00]

Jayce at the end totally caught me by surprise, I was legit :O for a solid minute afterwards

[@biankmind9766]

I kind of have a hot take regarding Arcane as a whole (personal opinion of course) I think that the show is objectively better if you know nothing about League. I think that being aware of who's a champion and who isn't can detract from the narrative by removing a level of uncertainty as to any given character's safety. As it stands (this may be proven wrong but), NONE of the champions are going to die or even be injured to a noticeable level and having that knowledge subtracts the tension of every scene. Particularly scenes involving exclusively champions. now this does not make the show BAD by any measure the show is still amazing either way. I just think it's better with a lack of foreknowledge that basically grants more than half the cast plot Armor

[@davidkoudelka10]

I am interested with this in mind for future series connected to Arcane’s Piltover/Zaun. If none of the main characters die that means that the chance of them meeting champions from other regions is QUITE possible!

[@rygornspectre7142]

Finally confirming the theory that they were going to combine Corin Reveck, father of Orianna Reveck with Singed in Arcane. Now he's Mr. Freeze from DC.

[@luisjauregui2197]

Except he's trying to raise someone from the dead, not from a comma. Which is just a little bit harder I asumme

[@rygornspectre7142]

@luisjauregui2197 I mean what is death besides an extremely long coma ...

[@aydinbiber7616]

​@@rygornspectre7142 A coma has some brain activity and no cell decay. Death has full cell decay and 0 brain activity.

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

@@luisjauregui2197 I don't know, it looks like she's alert within the cocoon(?) she's kept in.

[@TheGeneralGrievous19]

I loved episode 5. I was sobbing at the flasback & reunion scene. Beautiful show. Well done Riot and Fortiche fr.

[@alittlebirdi]

10:40 Hell of a guess lol

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Vi's new hair color and wardrobe were a good idea for this episode after what happened between Vi & Cait

[@Bloodyshadow1]

I appreciate that you know the champions, I played for a bit in college like 10-15 years ago and know the champions enough to be excited about the easter eggs, but not all the reactors I watch do so it's just nice to see someone who does

[@-nav-398]

I wish we had more from the former members of the strike team. One had no speaking lines and they all just dipped out of the story half way through the show.

[@BrokenSprocketGaming]

Pretty sure those flashes around Jace before he’s pulled back into the physical world are Ekko.

[@b_gann7710]

11:17 POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR CHARACTER APPEARANCES IN ACT 3 It seems LeBlanc (leader of the Black Rose and if I interpret lore correctly is also The Faceless, one of the 3 leaders of Noxus) is happening

[@cymonin5549]

The 'glitches' Jayce sees in Salo highlights the fingerprints where Viktor touched him to heal him, and in these gliches Jayce also sees emptiness where Salo's forehead/brain/mind should be.

[@vincentprice713]

Key note Vi and Powder's mom plays the same song in episode 2 of season 1 and Vander serves the same drink to powder in the same scene with the same straw.

[@pieperson444]

"He's your father too" is a line from episode 1 which is crazy

[@AlexanderForsman]

I love that only good things happens from2x5 and onward in Arcane. Definitely no more sadness. =)

[@ShivShrike]

Powder. The song Felicia (the mom) plays in the jukebox is “our love” a song from season 1 of Arcane and the image of the two girls playing on the record gives foreshadowing of Vi and Jinx. Now we know how Mel survived the explosion and with Jayce being so close to her he survived as well without injury but Viktor was just out of AoE to not be effected by the protective power Mel seems to have

[@fall-from-grace1008]

Sad that the series ended here but it is what it is, at least we got the reunion and they're happy forever and ever.

[@scarletpsychowolf3578]

Powder. Also, this is the episode that cemented the whole "your childhood cartoons have conditioned you to love alt/punk/emo/goth girls" idea. My brain is on a Burnout Road Rage conflict between "fuck this is the hottest Vi's ever been" and "but she's at rock bottom and is doing terrible", so yeah, a battle between sympathy and attraction

[@thedarkknight2221]

I’m not gonna cry, I’m strong, I’m strong I’m… *“What’re you waiting for, he’s your dad too”* 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Crystalitar]

10:50 Yes, everyone also agrees thats Orianna. Singed is the dad

[@jcor6529]

I really enjoy your reactions, I don’t have many friends that enjoy what I like but you are like that one friend

[@adamhinton3441]

First of the set you said you’d lose it if they took the baby now your saying if cait goes after Vander you need to watch your words they become real

[@yevhenii8190]

The theory of Vander becoming Warwick has been floating around the league fandom as soon as the episode 3 of s1 dropped. And I never liked the idea because of how much his death meant in the s1. But damn they did a good job pulling this off

[@Neutral_Tired]

06:56 this is also shot similarly to when she hit Powder in season 1 and I'm pretty sure she's bleeding from the same place. This has got to he bringing up all sorts of trauma for Vi

[@sonofjack6286]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who teared up at the scene in the mines.

[@lorenzogoglee1320]

jynx out there murdering her sister with words instad of bombs

Awww “powder” I love her broken heart 💔

[@Rootz2000]

Jinx wrote her name on her face because that's what her big sister does.

[@troikas3353]

Jinx’s retorts are pretty undercut by the fact she spent seven years murdering Zaunites for the benefit of the man that murdered their found family. I wish they’d had Vi call her out on that.

[@VyceofMataMertha]

Powder and Vi... Reuniting with Vander... Always brings a tear to my eye.

[@etec8904]

Yeah singed is Dr. Revek in arcane ,and in league lore Corin Revek is the father of Oriana but he isnt singed. So tiny retcon but I like it

[@alexanderdelongchamps7594]

Powder, you know with how much Vi has been drinking it's a miracle that her liver and kidneys still work

[@lunavioleta001]

This is my favorite design for Vi so far. I hope she keeps this look.

[@ChibiMalzahar]

my friend said "one thing abt Vi is she gon give a kid a bloody nose"

[@livingangrycheese2668]

I don't play league but I know a little bit about the lore. Given Ekko was trapped there too he's presumably gonna gain some time powers, so I imagine some timey wimey shit happened. Jayce's visions seem to be flashes of robot people, I think he saw the future of Viktor and his glorious evolution from league

[@eaonreid6817]

Oof poor guy can't get a break from Vi wreaking his jaw first as a child when rescuing Vandor, second in jail as the poor dude was eating his food after was just send there by Marcus, and third and probably the last in the underground fighting ring first few second against Emo Vi the dude jaw knocked clean off by her as his K.O like the first time he encounter Vi as a kid.... Powder him out please

"we can end the show there, thats good"

[@natezabinski5615]

Powder. Congrats on making it through the previous episode without crying. Your eyes are not going to last for the rest of the series, though.

[@RhoneM]

The one thing about this act that kind of bugs me is Jinx's, seemingly, lack of awareness for her part in Vi's downward spiral. Like girl, you are part of the reason she joined the enforces. You kidnapped her and her girlfriend to play a game. You killed Cait's mum. I love the growth she's going through but I just wished she'd just once acknowledged to Vi that she's sorry for putting her through the shit. Idk, maybe this is just the bitterness of an older sibling

[@TheJamieellis]

I mean that was because Vi was messing up Jinx and Silco's plans by working with Cait.

[@Settless]

we dont know if its Orianna or not, its just a popular therory from way back in singed lore

[@omarg1471]

ending it on Jayce Q 1 was a choice

[@keegansantoroski9042]

15:30 It's a lot easier to kill an innocent person the 2nd time. He really struggled after killing that killed. Not anymore.

[@OculusObscurum]

💥 Powder 🛢️ Orianna is my guess too, and I’ve seen a lot of people speculating that that’s who she is. My only gripe is that Orianna is supposed to be the Mistress of CLOCKWORK, while Singed is all about the more organic sciences, genetic modification, etc. The two seem very removed. Given what comes in the next few episodes, maybe Victor will be the one to give her a technological makeover?

[@aspieanarchist5439]

Um, Singed and Renata did fund Viktor`s augments in The Game so although machines aren`t his specialty compared to the chemistry shit and throwing toxic gases around it is hinted he`s tinkered with such things in the past, also Warwick does have biomechanical as well as werewolf elements.

You can see him drinking with her before getting fed up, I guess he suggested her to come here to forget about Caitlyn for a while, but it didn't go that well in the end...

[@bouboulroz]

He walked out of the room when Cait rose to power. He likely left the force because he saw how fucked up the situation was. So no, he wasn't under order.

[@jedna25]
