How will Arcane END!? What's Coming in Act 3?

[@zackkwam134]

The entire cast of characters, even the dead ones will appear in front of the screen and say "We are League of Legends." and then it will cut to black.

[@JustBlaisYT]

Do this episode 7, we don’t even need to make the other two

[@johnkimuelbello3453]

When it cuts to black, kindred whispers "and their fates clashed" oh chills

[@zedeon6299]

Absolute cinema

[@DayvMagnimagic]

I thought we would finally see John Legend create a tournament. But what do I know...

[@aranthur]

Theory: Episode 7 starts with Jayce touching the anomaly in the hexgate chamber at the end of episode 3, after which he, Ekko, and Heimerdinger get transported years into the future where everything is apocalyptically bad There they find out it was future versions of themselves who created the anomaly to warn them of what was coming, and Ekko has to invent the Z-Drive to get them back using notes his own future self left behind, but there's some kind of limit so they can only send one person at a time. They send Jayce first, then they're going to send Heimerdinger, then Ekko last since he knows best how to use it But they get attacked, and Heimerdinger stays behind in this doomed timeline to send Ekko home "Nothing he could accomplish could compare to the contributions of his students... That was his sacrifice." -Heimerdinger in episode 4 of season 1

[@JustBlaisYT]

I love this, I think this is a VERY good prediction. And what does the Z stand for in Z drive??? I THINK WE BOTH KNOW

[@crisssstopher]

OK IF THIS ISN'T WHAT HAPPENS IM NOT WATCHING ACT 3

[@whichhunter7087]

I think Jayce was affected by future Viktor before coming back, Jayce believes he is saving them from that future but I think Viktor needs Jayce to destroy himself to lead him to that future.

[@daz97]

Makes sense I can actually see 3 main story paths they could take And all 3 makes sense and would be a great direction So I don't know why people think it has yo be this one or the shoes rubbish 😂 Crazy talk

[@duxfot6998]

am i the only one who think there is too many plots to be resolved within 3 eps?

[@equestrianrosie]

It’s going to be longer than the other episode lengths

[@Yjn75]

They should have left out the Black Rose imho

[@seph123]

The ending be like piltover and zaun champions got together and say "what are we? Some kind of league of legends?"

[@darksaint0124]

Did you say Viktor was in void space? The void is nothingness. There wouldn't be stars. The starry sky signifies celestial magic.

[@chrishaven1489]

My theory on how it will end is that Jinx will save the day by, not being a hero, but by being a bigger bad guy than the bad guy and effectively threaten to blow up both Piltover and Zaun, by rigging the hexgates, if everyone doesnt get their sht together. I also believe Ambessa will take over Piltover by force. Ekko and/or Jinx will convince Zaun to rise up and help Piltover against the Noxians. In return, Zaun gets their independence but Jinx has to turn herself in for the crimes she committed. Jinx agrees. Then Vi breaks her out of prison, but they both get caught by the enforcers. And not wanting to be a Jinx and ruin things for Vi, she betrays Vi and holds her hostage and/or knocks her out before jumping off a cliff and is presumed dead. Then when everything calms down. Jinx pops out of nowhere and commits a crime in Piltover, leaving behind a grafitti drawing of a monkey's face

[@fart63]

Jinx doesn’t threaten to do things. She just does them. Being conniving and using bargaining chips is silco’s style. Never her’s. She is extremely blunt with every attack she has ever made.

[@samm-sung5104]

i hardly doubt jayce will allow hexgates to stay operative after whatever he saw in the wild rune

[@TreiberSeptim]

Hey, this video is exactly what I was looking for when I finished it on sunday :‘D I know very little about the lore, so I got a bit of a deepdive, but the void wasn’t really touched on that much. This is super informative!

[@JustBlaisYT]

@@TreiberSeptim thanks for the kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!!

[@ViralSushi3425]

An even longer shot theory about Zilean, the mage that gave Jayce the gemstone on his wrist was actually zilean and not ryze. The gemstone is how zilean plans to save their timeline from the one Jayce saw through some very intricate altering of the timeline

[@vaas1313]

Harold becomes the Emperor of Piltover, Jericho - the ultimate Boss of the Zaun, and then this two gigachads makes peace between both cities. That's the only way...

[@destructself]

World runes are both celestial and elemental magic Hexcores were made using runes so its a formulaic use of celestial and elemental magic. The first time we saw a massive change in the same hexcore is when viktor's blood touched the hexcore. So why is the blood important? Lets look at viktor himself. We know viktor is originally from zaun and likely suffered the effects of shimmer in his blood. We know this additionally because singed experiment mutation that "must live" is a creature that has been eating the petals that we see singed make shimmer with. We also learn singed is responsible for shimmer. So I think we can comfortably say zaunites and things in zaun are contaminated with some amount of shimmer. What is important here is that creature singed has been raising and keeping alive is a creature that can interact with the void. Tldr the arcane is the unholy fusion of formulaic celestial elemental magic combined with alchemical formulaic void and is not a pure form of either.

[@EmberAwoken]

I’ve said this on other videos but my original thought and what I’m pretty convinced of, is that the acolytes of Viktor dying and the energy leaving them was so it could return to Viktor. Singed spoke of the finite power he had and now he needs it back.

[@TheFamousYakTamer]

Zilean showing up makes a lot of sense to me. However, I don't know if he's truly going to be a 'character' per se. Kinda like how they had the fight in the temple of Janna and there was this huge gust of wind, which I saw as Janna doing her wind stuff behind the scenes. In the same way, maybe we'll see some kind of representation or iconography of Zilean while time travel stuff happens. The reason that I don't think we'll actually see Jayce meeting him, for example, is because that's a LOT of lore to drop onto the non-LoL watchers that's gonna have to happen in a flashback BEFORE we need to wrap up the whole rest of the conflicts that are currently ongoing. So I expect that a passing mention, or a vague silhouette of a bearded man in the background, or something like that is more likely. My personal headcanon theory is about how I think that Mel will play a crucial role in the ending. The general consensus seems to be that they're setting her up for another show but I don't know about that. There's themes of sacrifice in the show, especially regarding the Medardas. Ambessa literally spelled it out for us this season, and Mel's strong suit is that she is very good at finding compromises(which require sacrifice). What the show needs for a 'happy' ending is exactly that - compromise. All these warring factions will eradicate eachother and themselves if they cannot find SOME way to unite. The Black Rose are hunting Mel and I feel like they won't stop doing that. This means that Mel is, in a way, a danger to everyone around her. But we've also seen that she seems to have powers - probably celestial in nature, I might add. And these powers are capable of protecting others(example: Jayce in the council room explosion). My guess is that the writers will be hesitant to kill of League champions. But if they want an impactful death, Mel is the most 'main' main character that is currently not a champ. Ambessa seems to symbolize the Wolf. Maybe Mel is the sacrificial Lamb. ...Can't wait to be proven totally wrong this weekend 😅

[@JustBlaisYT]

@@TheFamousYakTamer I really like all this, especially the Mel theorizing! I also agree that I think she’s going to show up for the ending and have a role, I’m just not confident we’ll learn what Black Rose has actually been after (I left out a Mel specific section in this because I didn’t want to make the video too long hahaha) If Zilean shows up as a carving we are COUNTING IT AS A CORRECT CALL! Hahahaha

[@bestblerd5042]

I think heimerdinger always knew that hextech was the void but in the past the only way to access it was with blood magic. So he was cautiously willing to let it continue as long as jayce was able to access void power through technology. Unfortunately, viktor accidentilly connected to the void when he coughed up blood. Even more unfortunately, he was alone when that happened so even a rime traveller doesnt know how to stop the connection.

[@ryana9712]

Final shot of the series, Jinx will fly away on the airship with her new haircut and shark hoody from the trailer Isha will either get saved by Ekko time skip device or Singe will turn her into Teemo

[@robertstorm5048]

cope! isha is staying dead 100% mate

[@christopherstewart661]

This is good shit! Stands out. You were not wrong about how hard it is to get started in all of this lore. It’s great stuff, but you can tell it had a loose beginning.

[@JustBlaisYT]

It can be so hard to dive into! And to find a starting point! I’m glad Arcane can be that for some people though.

[@Izzy-rh7br]

Ambessa can't die... Her book takes place after the show.

[@cinderspirit4229]

The book seems to be about a younger Ambessa becoming the head of the Medarda clan, so it is set before the series.

[@mar_ko5930]

I think Viktor will resurrect Orianna. The wild rune will become Orianna's ball .

[@geoffreygetzin3972]

Jinx will self sacrifice to save her big sister while also saving Piltover and Zaun and defeating Viktor in his fully evolved form. I would be surprised by any other major deaths outside of hers, Viktors and Ambessa. I think others predictions for this show are relying too heavily on lore and forgetting this is a story first and foremost about two sisters, Vi and Jinx, and the resolution to THEIR conflict.

[@cannabishornliu6119]

I definitely can see that Jinx will sacrifice herself. It could be a bittersweet farewell from her, a full circle moment that instead of Powder helping her family and nearly killing everyone of them Jinx will help her family and die in the process that also pays homage to Isha's sacrifice.

[@gustavocunha8014]

Nice to know that you can watch Arcane from Morrowind. (Soundtrack) Everytime I looked away from the screen I could see you in a tavern in Vivec

[@JustBlaisYT]

Music is actually from TFT! But as someone who has been dumping a ton of hours into ESO and also just watched a friend play through all of morrowind: I appreciate this hahaha

[@peppermint7130]

I truly believe Heimerdinger was right. That's why he was forced to retire from the Council to begin with. He lived for 200 or 300yrs and he knows what the Hextech is capable of! Season 2 - Act 3, both Heimerdinger and Ekko will def have more screen time.

[@TheKluxx]

Yo dude, you voice is so much better than 99% of youtubers. Also great content!

[@JustBlaisYT]

haha! What kind words! That cancels out the AI voice burn!!

[@thomazeblen]

i think zilian makes alot of sence, specially with ekko in the mix, he might be the last thing to allow him to create the z drive

[@senpapi4511]

Ekko rewinds time in the intro wdym kek

[@mattmark367]

Heimerdonger is definitely not gonna make it through the last 3 eps. Having so many threads to wrap up means that there is likely a lot that will be left unresolved at the end of the show. I think this tracks with Arcane being a jumping off point for other stories to be told, and nothing hammers home uncertainty like taking away the show's day 1 moral compass.

[@JustBlaisYT]

he's gonna get such a good statute though... we love that

[@inory5460]

i am absoluteley new to the lore and stuff and I have read about Warwick and yes, aside from the blood rage and stuff, he hunts down bad guys, so does it make him some kind of antihero? or even a good guy? I wonder if there even is a little bit of Vander left.

[@hamostar12]

Love the video and all the theories in comments , and I'm just going to get this off my chest now. Is anyone expecting a "Ryze" apperance somehow or is it just me ?

[@JustBlaisYT]

Ryze would be awesome!

[@FlutterSwag]

cannot say I expected the Zilean drop, i thought you were talking about Kassadin!

[@JustBlaisYT]

Kassadin would also be sick. Maybe the next series!!!

[@FlutterSwag]

@@JustBlaisYT im just imagining that kassadin saves them and the has a training montage with jayce before he gets sent back and he mentions he had a daughter once too

[@Yee-Haw_Bird]

Given what happens in episode 6, I think there's going to be a tense peace between Piltover and Zaun as they combat Ambessa's army (for lack of a better term) since I think she's going to try and turn the city into her own base of operations at least temporarily. So they're going to have a united front trying to take back their city from the hands of a Noxian. And Mel (as many others have brought up) is going to be the linchpin in bringing the conflicts to a close. No idea how though. I honestly wasn't expecting the void angle to come into play, But yeah the hex core looked void like in S1, and same with the cult of glorious evolution, I totally buy it now. That being said It seems weird to bring the void into the show since until now afaik, there are 0 characters in Piltover/Zaun that have anything to do with the void. It's mostly Shurima/Ixtal and Lissandra that are the drivers/participants in that conflict. I absolutely love what the show has done and completely isolated its phenomenal. But I'm not sure how much I'm going to like the impact it has on the characters and world as a whole going forward.Since there's like what 4 different world ending forces all being held off in their respective regions with stories to tell? (Mordekaiser, The Darkin, Void, Viego (Asol?)) With Piltover-Zaun largely being uninvolved in all of them last I checked. Which if they are using Arcane as a way to bring Piltover-Zaun into one of said conflicts I can respect that, but there's still some concern as to how the dust will settle. (My papaya's are absolutely boiled that Camille is basically just gone from the region despite how large of a player she's supposed to be in Piltover, especially given the old Hex Crystals lore, unless they just pull her out of absolutely nowhere given the only mention of house Ferros was Mel's introduction in episode 2)

[@Updogdowncat]

What was the specific comment about swain from two years ago? Cant find it

[@JustBlaisYT]

@@Updogdowncat it wasn’t about swain but it was about Black Rose appearing in Arcane, it’s somewhere buried in the Black Rose comments. I actually complete forgot about it until after Act 1 when I got notifications for a bunch of people replying to it. If I can find it in a bit I’ll reply again

[@curtis3558]

[@antraxbeta23]

I hope it ends with jimx dropping a nuke, if isha is really gone.

[@senpapi4511]

When Ambessa fights with Cait she tells her about Vision Guile and Might so I'm assuming Swain is already in charge

[@Rev1n05]

Apologize for what im about to say but the fact cait had a similar arc to j4 is infuriating and prove my believe that demacia needs a massive lore reboot.

[@walterhenry9574]

Why is that infuriating? Similar secs aren’t inherently a bad thing?

[@hirocostorio]

Can you elaborate pls?

[@crisssstopher]

2 characters having a similar arc is far from being a bad thing, caitlyn and j4 both have different context, personalities and stories, very different stories, just because there's some similarities here and there doesn't mean riot needs to rewrite the whole lore of a character, viktor and orianna have similarities too, ren and annie have similarities too, etc. the world of runeterra is big

[@Rev1n05]

Realistically, its not just j4; its every single champion in demacia thats been done dirty by its lore, everyone hates them for the allegories, the aesthetic, personality, etc. Thats why demacia needs a lore reboot to finally fix its characters@@crisssstopher

[@crisssstopher]

@@Rev1n05 idk who tf thinks that tbh, demacia is pretty cool imo, it's whole history, the aesthetic, the characters, i have never met a single person who did not like demacia until now lol

[@jasmine9538]

Ambessa can't die. My reasoning - she's simply too stylish.

[@JustBlaisYT]

Best reasoning I’ve heard so far!

[@williamlaney7208]

Nah no league characters trully die. If they die then they are getting a remake and will come back like GP

[@davsqualetto]

Ambessa is not going to die, a Novel setted after arcane was announced

[@cinderspirit4229]

As far as I know the novel is about her rise to power and becoming the head of the Medarda clan, so it is set before Arcane.

[@Yjn75]

8:30 As someone who doesn't have a clue about the lore, this has gone too far. I'm still trying to understand the concept of wild runes and the Black Rose! I could not appreciate the show if they introduced more concepts and characters. And they only have 3 episodes left!

[@robertstorm5048]

I think the Heimer/Ambessa death predictions are wrong. Don't think they die... I think when defeated, Ambessa will have to retreat by mounting on her ship with Singed and going to Noxus with him.

[@bappojujubes981]

With Warframe 1999 coming soon, can you cover Warframe lore?

[@JustBlaisYT]

I always feel like I’m too far gone on the Warframe train, but I am EAGERLY awaiting Soulframe to get in on the ground floor!

[@bappojujubes981]

@JustBlaisYT I honestly feel the same, but after playing for a while I can wholeheartedly tell you it is NEVER too late to get in on Warframe! Not on its lore or the game itself.

[@Xpertman213]

If they plan on making Arcane canon it is debatable whether they will kill of characters. As far as I know no playable character is dead. I could be wrong but they seem to only keep living characters as playable.

[@GenusMusic]

Yup. Every single theorizer is missing this. Riot is not going to kill any of their champions. Especially the newest one.

[@Arander92]

If that’s true, then it’s a shame. This show shouldn’t be bogged down by having to adhere to the game. It should be allowed to come to whatever conclusion is best for the story

[@Xpertman213]

@@Arander92 Agreed. They may make it canon as an alternate timeline and be given more free reign, I hope that's the route they go.

[@geralddeloyola3173]

Vi will die, you heard it here first. Other characters death wont be impactful enough. Its either cait, jinx or vi. But im going with vi. Thats my theory for act 3.
