Heimerdinger Sacrafices Himself to Send Ekko Jayce Back in Time Arcane S2 Episode 7 Ending

[@somerandomschmuck2547]

I'm just glad they made clear the Alt-Time line Echo was fine at the end, if it turned out that Echo would have unintentionally also basically killed his counterpart (and likely traumatized the Alt-Powder all over again) would have made this all the worse for me.

[@danniton9831]

Ekko, not echo.

[@KePzez]

That's the silverlining in this episode, at least we know in one timeline, things go right for Piltover and Zaun. Wonder what happened to Singe tho, that guy is too unhinge to stop what he's doing for his daughter, he may even straight up immegrated to Noxus in this timeline.

[@Aaron-kp6kp]

@@KePzez Pretty sure signed kept peace for the loss of his daughter. Or maybe he died so there wouldn’t be any shimmer

[@TaneJiaChannel]

​@@Aaron-kp6kpOr even better: Singed's daughter is completely fine and he has no need for researching Shimmer.

[@noodles367]

@@KePzezMaybe he never was able to “fund” his projects, since Silco and Ambessa are the ones to give him the tools and safety he needed, though now I wonder what happened to Ambessa and Mel

[@isaacgaleao]

LoL I watched this with my girlfriend and she said "damn the AU Ekko will feel so insecure now because he will never be as cool" and I think about this a lot

[@jameshoffman9189]

I watched 5 times and I’m 98% sure she knew. Watch her face (fr watch all her expressions) (and also I feel she wanted it to fail as she had whole ones) from the point that he shows her the blue tiny pieces. She 100% know it’s not au ekko and it’s our og ekko

[@Invalourrr-vb3xo]

literally jus the plot of everything everywhere all at once lol

[@maximumoverdrive2676]

Go back and rewatch the Stanwick scene. Heimer talks about how his old friend Stanwick realized his own contributions couldn’t compare to those of his students and sacrificed everything for them and the future. Heimer then ends up doing the same here

[@wafflingmean4477]

And for real this time. At the beginning of the show he thought he was making a difference just by overseeing the academy which technically was working to improve the world (but ultimately not being much use until Hex-Tech). Then he realises he went wrong with Jayce and Victor, so refuses to have the same hands off approach with Ekko and finally actually living up the ideal he had been trying to uphold for centuries.

[@musikich]

Haimer is yordle, he probably just respawned in bandle city

[@somerandomdude3729]

Which Bandle city tho?

[@kaiselplay4681]

​@@somerandomdude3729 spirit realm. There is only 1 bandle city in there

@@somerandomdude3729 can't tell you, he probably respawns back in the real universe, but can't tell you for sure. There are some yordle lore videos that explain it that you should check out if interested

[@neofulcrum5013]

I don’t think he’s dead. There’s a chance Heimerdinger could show up in another spin-off show.

[@Aceroragua]

The yordles are immortal, surely respawned in bandle city.

[@HelghastTrooper]

@@Aceroragua I'm fairly certain at this point that Arcane is set in an alternate universe. Yordles are immortal, yes, but they are also viewed with fear in places like Piltover & Zaun in the current lore of Runeterra, requiring glamour magics to operate there unperturbed, unlike the show, where we see several in their normal Yordle forms, all operating with impunity. Also, many other inconsistencies with the mainline universe, such as Warwick looking and acting differently (his fate is also sealed in the show, whereas he's still very much alive in current lore, as shown by the Ekko game that came out a short while back), Caitlyn being a pirate, and Ambessa being dead. Unless the mainline game makes some major, MAJOR changes to its lore, there is simply too much changed by Arcane to maintain the core of the characters and the status quo of the narrative.

[@SlugRiot]

@@HelghastTrooper sadly this isn't an AU, riot confirmed Arcane to be the main canon of league in an old devblog

[@HelghastTrooper]

@@SlugRiot They said that after season 1 dropped. Season 2 deviated far too much from the bountiful lore sourced from LoR to stand the test. I'll believe that when they say it again.

[@JamesU05]

He better his death felt brushed over

[@Jefflopez-i1p]

I hope that "back in a wink" line will have a meaning

[@herticate8579]

he should be able to survive since yordles can respawn.

[@Jefflopez-i1p]

@herticate8579 exactly

[@krzysztofczajka6752]

I feel like for him the amount of time from being reborn to this point is 'a wink'. But it's not really for Ekko. He will never see him again.

[@russellbalba7065]

i feel like because heimerdinger was outside the anomally, he was transported somewhere else just like last time, alive but possibly in another parallel dimension, all I know is bro can't be dead, he jus can't my heart won't allow it!!!😭

[@ethandimatulac773]

that is my theory also. it's not clearly stated or shown if heimer is dead. copium

[@kromb5952]

Yordles cant die

[@glommerz4269]

If it makes you feel any better, Yordles can't actually die. They are magical 'spirits' that take a physical form in Runeterra. When their physical bodies are destroyed they return to their home dimension.

[@mc_2552]

​@glommerz4269 so what happened to Smeech then, is he just knocked out or something? I've been wondering about that too

how

[@captaindoom1983]

bruh where😂

[@xixizizi6970]

​@TheNecroMeister he does not. Its just his leg and thigh were shredding due to the phenomenon.

[@fibergran9]

Yes, it's cannon in the game. He leaves a dump here and there as the game progresses.

[@IsaiahWayne2104]

OG Ekko saw AU Powder and wished he had that version of Powder. 😅

[@lilnewport4370]

It’s an AU where almost everything went right, can’t blame him

[@coatsman5471]

If anything, AU Powder just made him realise he loves Powder for who she is which is why he goes to talk to Jinx straight afterwards.

[@the_best_username]

I think he loves Powder and not Jinx. Powder is sweet, loving, and always tries to help others to the best of her ability. Jinx is violent & selfish. I think he saved Jinx to save the small peice of Powder buried deep within her.

[@Zoidberryable]

@@the_best_username My read on it is that Ekko realizes that Jinx is Powder, no matter how Jinx tries to deny that part of herself. There were instances during this season where she does help others while putting herself at risk (mostly w/ Isha but she does save Caitlyn against Rictus). She has the capacity to be that better person and that's how he gets through to her in the finale imo.

[@herticate8579]

@@the_best_username Jinx is just powder trying to become what she was told she was, a jinx. someone who ruins instead of helping, her need to help was struck by misfortune and caused the deaths of her friends and the abandonment of her sister. Jinx is just powder denying herself and accept the image others have made of her. its tragic yet artistic.

[@megadeltsmarcy]

this scene had me sobbing literally immediately and even now i tear up, I know lore wise yordles can't die but since nothing was mentioned of this again in the show it just feels like he's supposed to be dead 😭😭

[@TheMadsav1993]

No body no death

[@alexsolomon8127]

that's just about everyone. and given Noxus's propensity for dark magic, not to mention the Shadow Isles, we'll probably see Ambessa again too.

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

It's because he's gone, reduced to atoms.

[@TheMadsav1993]

@ExtremeMadnessX he's not.dead just sent somewhere else

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

@@TheMadsav1993 I'm joking. Just Avengers Endgame reference.

[@Gufupandi09th13]

And they think jinx is dead fat chance

[@Sirpecker0426]

The implication from Ekko. Is that heimerdinger also was in the body of the original from the alternate reality. Which means that heimer died the moment the future heimer embodied him. Since future heimer died before ever going back. So Heimer died twice... sad.

[@TheTwistedTreant526]

Heimerdinger is a Yordle. He died but respawned almost immediately in Bandle City

[@JKYama]

"Dang, so I got the lame one" - Jinx

[@gogetathestrongestfusion]

She's the reason the ekko became that way tho the ekko with powder was goated.

[@peepspizza37]

It’s a shame Heimerdinger never gets brought up after this. There could’ve been a great scene between Ekko and Jayce talking about what happened in both the timelines and Heimerdinger’s sacrifice. 😭

[@jimmy3261]

Yeah. Heimerdinger was criminally glossed over after this.

[@username.exenotfound2943]

final ep just neeeded an extra 15-20 mins

[@Director_Oompaloompa]

Cause it was rushed

[@abhirm664]

In the final scene after the battle where people write (maybe) a name of the dead on a piece of paper then burn it, Ekko seems to write one separately as well. I assume it was Heimerdinger because Ekko is the only one who knows about Heimerdinger's 'death'.

[@Wildcat12]

Because he got sent back to Bandle City in the Spirit Realm and has to return through a portal, then make his way back to Piltover. That's not going to be a quick process, but with Hexgates and all being around now he'll probably manage it in a few weeks. Unfortunately that's a bit far after the end of the show.

[@leonarduskrisna4588]

Haimer was sent to another Universe Where he had a mission to save the tree!

[@silentloud]

its like steins;gate all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg jayce's "i wont fail" and he did not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEAK CINEMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEIMERDINGER WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE! he loved being a musician!!!!! in my headcanon, he will find other yordles and form a band!

[@darla4528]

His death was so out-of-nowhere that felt fake. I completely forgot he died. I'm glad the creators confirmed that he's still alive.

[@unknownbenefactor8029]

Dying in physical form but his spirit will return to bandle tree and reincarnated again in Bandle city. Home of all Yordle kind. There are three way to kill Yordle for real. Drain them of their spiritual energies. (Demon usually known for draining other being energy) Completely destroyed their spirit (Void monsters have ability to destroy spirit completely) Destroy Bandle city and Bandle tree. (Mordekaiser and some Darkin attempt to do this once)

[@ryotairawan6599]

Nope, heimerdinger is yordle he's cannot die basically immortal and will be send back to bandle city

[@lemonlimebats4095]

I like how he felt more like his in game self after being alone to tinker. Old buddy just needed a new project.

[@alessandrobonati7815]

Funny things is that he can actually respawn

[@JohnSmith-bn5mi]

Since Ekko's body is there after the wild rune shows up, there are two things that could happen. A) Heimerdinger got sent spinning through the multiverse. B) He merged with that universe's Heimerdinger. C) [Unlikely] His existence got fully wiped by being split across multiple dimensions and he's now just... gone.

[@YawnWoofDog]

Hes a yordle, he respawned in bandle city :)

[@plebeiangaming5625]

This reminds me of that Avengers Endgame scene where Fat Thor returns to the past and Freya recognizes him saying how bad the future must have been to him. Maybe Powder also felt the same about Prime Ekko who appeared to have lived a tough life and fate.

[@77Night77Shade77]

Vex is like "It should've been me!!"

[@EJD339]

Hes very likely not dead because every person always has the shadow of ashes left behind when they die but he didnt have one

[@user-relentless]

Never a dull moment

[@bluexdalek1997]

DOES ANYONE ELSE, realize, well, the Jayce statue is like, ALIVE? Or at least, seemingly responding to Viktor as its eye moves, and seems to acknowledge it must let go of the hammer. Cause, I just noticed that and it freaked me out.

There is a possibility of him just being erased out of timeline and existence completely but he's probably either in different timeline or bandle city

[@tromar5758]

Riot can barely even decide what yordles are, half thing they are immoral beings from bandle city the other half treat them like they are a normal race in the world.

[@maddlarkin]

Thats not why Heimerdinger sacrificed himself, he did it to split Ekko so that he'd get to live in the perfect world and return to the OG timeline, you see him notice the various items getting zapped out of existence, the time loop diagram with the 2 humans, that very obvious goodbye speech. Heimerdinger had worked out what Powder and Ekko had missed that to return that timelines Ekko needed a equivalent mass to be left behind so thats what he did and everyones missed it

[@draenog96]

This is canon, not an AU. Nobody cares about your feelings when the show producers literally said what's what.
