IN LOVE AND HURT😭 Arcane Season 2 Episode 9 FINALE REACTION | The Dirt Under Your Nails |

[@Etheriousflow]

That scene with Jayce and Viktor had me sobbing, the animation and music just made it even better

[@alessandrorecchia9517]

this is absolute masterpiece. jayce-viktor timeloop paradox is truly god-narration from writers like big legendary shows, i mean interstellar, Dark, Attack on titan... unbelivable construction and foreshadowing climax

[@youthisreadwrong2274]

Their arc was unexpectedly absolute cinema

[@Alexszander]

25:19 Jinx finally saved Vi, just like she wanted to so badly back in season 1, episode 3.

[@Alexszander]

1:20 Jinx cutting her hair represents her severing all ties with the past, Silco's chair, Vander's bar, everything. 2:15 Ekko came in clutch and reversed time about 5 times before he could convince Jinx to listen. 4:25 we're getting thrown straight into the middle of the war here and the sacrifices are obvious - the senseless death of some of the supporting characters hits really deep, shows us just how pointless the war is and all its consequences. 7:44 Maddie messed with the trigger, like the good little noxian enjoyer she is. 8:10 Ambessa rolling up the stairs on that track was wild, chills all over. 10:00 Jinx made such a cool entrance, using the hot air balloon thingy she had her base on deep in the fissures. 10:59 it's a little detail but the care with which Loris' body was taken down by that random artist guy turned soldier - touching moment. 13:10 Ambessa is too blinded by ambition to realize just how utterly powerless she would be against Viktor. 13:40 the fight between Ambessa and Cait + Mel was the most brutal one in this episode by far. 16:06 like a true Medarda, Mel used her mother to get rid of both her witchy Black Rose sister and her blinded by ambition mother. 18:43 Ekko woke up and got to work instantly, he carried the whole final fight so hard it's not even funny. 20:25 it was so cool to see how Ekko constantly used his newfound power to reverse time and finally figure it out, hitting Viktor with the device, allowing Jayce to get through to his friend. 22:20 it was indeed Viktor all along, from the very start to the very end. He realized if he wins in the end, there will be no "victory", just endless solitude, him alone, surrounded by the husks of everyone he used to know and care about. 25:55 Jinx escapes, freeing her sister and Cait in the process. With her not around anymore, the risk of Vi and Cait dying is nullified. 26:30 the memorial they held for the fallen was so beautiful and seeing Ekko light a piece of paper for Jinx, all alone, was heartbreaking. 27:08 Singed got his happy ending. 27:59 Jinx sailed away on that ship, just like she said she wanted to back in season 1, episode 1. Thank you for the incredibly beautiful and emotional reaction, commentary and discussion, you did a fantastic job ❤

[@CYNMYKXN]

In the end, Cait looking at the data on the hexportal tower, evacuation tunnels, while handling a piece of the monkey granade, it show that they didn't find the body, just the explosive, making it lowkey say Jinx survived and escaped.

[@devondablevins]

I agree, I think Jinx died and survived here. who Jinx was, because obviously this person has had two identities, Powder and Jinx, Powder died so Jinx could be created and Now theatrically Jinx died, who she becomes where she goes will be a new person all together.

[@everydaynormalgamers]

@@CYNMYKXN you also see right before the explosion a purple shimmer light going up right - so basically jinx used her shimmer speed right before the explosion to escape - at least thats what everyone thinks indicates that :) and yes also cait smiling.

The slip of paper Ekko lit adrift had 'powder' written on it. You have to pause just right, zoom in, then flip it 45% and you see 'der' through the paper at the fold.

[@Alex_Lottus]

One of the best animation projects that my eyes have seen! Each episode is an incredible heat and a flurry of emotions! How epic, crazy, painful and beautiful it all is at the same time! The season was worth its expectations, thanks to everyone who had a hand in this masterpiece! I experienced a range of emotions while watching this season. THIS SCENE WITH THE AIRSHIP AT THE END is probably the same reference to s1ep1, where Powder says "One day, I'm gonna ride one of those things" The phrase “I am the dirt under your nails, cupcake. Nothing's gonna clean me out” 💔 I think this phrase broke many hearts twice, three times, or even a dozen times..... The best solution is to insert the final soundtrack from the first season in the instrumental version in the ending, “What could have been".... The moment where Caitlyn is studying the drawings of the Hexgate, and holding this monkey in her hands. She enlarges the part of the draft where the ventilation pipes are drawn (ventilation compartment.). She saw that there were some branches there. It is obvious that Caitlin she studied a drawings and the places of Jinx's alleged death. According to one of my theories, this may indicate that Jinx could have escaped through one of the vents and escaped the explosion. Therefore, there is a possibility that in the final scene of this episode, it is Jinx pilots the airship. This is also indicated by the fact that at the end of the episode, a screensaver with the phrase "The End" in the Jinx corporate style appears for a split second. This may hint that she was able to fulfill her dream and fly to a new place. There is no unequivocal confirmation that Jinx is sitting in the pilot's seat, but there are no other obvious candidates, and according to the previous story it is known that she is a capable pilotess. In the finale, what appears on screen is almost identical to what the character saw in the first season. Jayce's last speech to Victor about how to find beauty in imperfection and how our flaws make us human was wonderful, but Victor's illness is completely unsuitable as an example. Victor was chronically ill after all because he grew up in the toxic atmosphere of Zaun. It was a preventable disease imposed by the corrupt Piltover system, "I can feel myself rotting." In addition, their summation is very beautiful and poetic. I also loved how actor Harry Lloyd voiced Victor, inspired by the Czech accent. This gives the image of Victor liveliness and soft charm. In my opinion, Harry Lloyd's quiet speech is well suited to convey how Victor speaks with humor and mischief, despite his poise and calmness. Thus, Harry Lloyd's voice acting creates an image of Victor that combines different features: he is calm, optimistic, kind, and with caustic humor.💫 I was also sure that Ekko would somehow be able to turn back time to the moment when everyone was alive. Or maybe Victor and Jayce will do something similar at the moment of climax. For me, this whole story began with love, and it ended with it. I hoped and believed until the last in an absolute happy end for at least two sisters, but alas.. One of them was and remains an "incorrigible hero." And maybe it's a kind of redemption for Jinx, it's still a wound for Violet and me as a spectator. But I'm glad they made up in the end. It was great. Thank you for your wonderful reaction + discussion! ❤💛🦊💛❤

[@Vetal2G2]

As for who voiced Victor, I completely agree. The actor previously played a Czech in the film "Anthropoid" and believes that of all the near-Slavic accents, Czech is the best for him. The only thing I don't understand most of all is why they made Maddie an badgirl villainess????? It's a really weird twist) And no one can explain this moment to me.

[@Alex_Lottus]

​@@Vetal2G2 Maddie was a very strong idealist, and people who idealize everything to an extreme degree are very strong (and scary) in their disappointment. I think she idealized Caitlyn very much and when she saw human traits and qualities in her, she was very disappointed and/or got jealous of VI, so she took the other side, and it was more like a personal vendetta (so that Cait felt betrayed and rejected). Ambessa had warned Caitlin about "work connections," so to speak. Maybe Maddie was originally a spy, because Ambessa didn't trust Caitlyn.

[@Nick_Flame_]

at the moment, I agree with you, but progress does not stand still, the Arcane is a direct proof of that. Will someone be able to surpass him, let's see, because before his release there were many beautiful, deep projects that were worth attention and loved by the audience)

[@calvin_bryant_]

A very eventful season has come out and such a powerful denouement, I'm glad for Cait and Vi, it's so interesting to watch how the characters have grown and matured through the entire series, many have evolved very much. Victor and Jayce' strong male friendship saved everyone) I want to joke and admire at the same time, a cool series! I couldn't get rid of the Game of Thrones vibes at the end with these three-eyed crows, it looks like a hint of a sequel, although it doesn't seem to be planned yet

[@Alex_Lottus]

​@@calvin_bryant_ I would venture to suggest that the next animation project will be based around Noxus, its capital, built around the Immortal Bastion and all the local characters. Moreover, the Black Rose has already been partially shown, the Noxians have been shown, well, a hint of Swain's invisible presence behind the scenery of events developing in Arcane through his raven at the end.

[@Vika_Valis]

After the end of the episode, I feel like Jinx in the first frames of the series - the desire to cut off my hair and burn everything down.☠ It seemed logical to end Jinx's story, but at the same time I would not want her to die. It's just one of my favorite characters.💓 Yes, she is destructive, yes she is wild and unpredictable, but she is "alive" and she's coolest.💓 It was very hard after Isha's death (which, by the way, was in vain, because Vander was revived and he again began to go against our beloved characters), and then there was the death of our beloved Jinx, who, apart from suffering in life, did not receive anything special. Got a family for a moment - lost it again, got the approval of my sister and my childhood friend - I died.😣 As a result, we lost her. In my heart, I really hope that she survived and just disappeared through her death in this way, but this is the end of the series, we will not know further.😔😔😔

[@Alexszander]

Jinx isn't dead, you can see a pink streak of lightning at 25:55, she clearly escaped, then you see Cait holding a piece of Jinx's bomb (which means they inspected the explosion site) while looking at the Hexgate design, specifically the ventilation shaft and smiling. Finally, last scene in the episode is a dirigible flying away into the sunset, exactly what Jinx said she would ride one day, back in season 1, episode 1. 3 more series have been confirmed, in 3 different regions. They will most likely use some of the characters from Arcane to introduce those regions, make cameos etc.

[@RoseRoseReed]

[@Vika_Valis]

Thank you.🙏🏻 It seems that all the good things have already been said above. I would like to add that for all the time watching both seasons, I was sincerely sorry for all those who died, but the series was about three conflicts where a common trouble and an enemy finally helped solve everything: - Zauna and Piltover - Victor and Jayce - Vi and Jinx😔🤍🕊

One of my favourite details about this finale is Jinx's outfit in the final fight. She's covered in all these different coloured little paint markings and colour streaks all over her body, like Ekko's jacket normally has on it. I like to think that he loved/loves her so much that, somewhere between the scene where he begs for her life and their entrance to the battle, he spent some serious time making her look like that, on top of assembling the airship that they arrive on Also her new minigun towards the end is made from one of his hoverboards, you can see the fan in centre of it

[@DennisMangual]

Arcane is one of the greatest pieces of cinema storytelling and art i have ever experienced... appreciate your reaction!

[@diegoverasornstein5575]

Reading between the cinematic lines, the last line of the series is "our ancient story is not over" and we see a ship leaving for the horizon, something like "come with us because we are going to other stories in this world". Arcane will be left behind, graphically, and probably historically, but the message I understood is that there is still a lot to tell about Runeterra. other artistic choices of graphics, other stories, other characters.

[@XOISHTAR]

Very much the same… without the suspicion until episode 8… before that I stupidly had a wish she could end up with Sevika. Because of the contrast between them being potentially adorable. Now? I kinda commend her for being so good. Playing the “I’m the one person on your side against Ambessa’s pushing, plus I kinda am in love with you” gambit? That was cunning. And the coldness of her appreciation for Cait’s warmth… that was startling. Love how she ended up after the mask came off. Also I think if Vi and Cait hadn’t broken up, she might have tried to get between them by flirting with both.

[@alvinsmith3894]

Caitlyn looked thoughtful in that last scene of them of Vi. She's probably wondering if she should tell her that sister might be alive. The last shot is an airship. Jinx always wanted to drive one of those. She's definitely headed somewhere.

[@Maratonkata]

Jinx survived and chose to leave the source of her cycle of trauma. There's too much evidence, the streak of her shimmer flash just before Warwick (Vander) is blown up. During Caitlyn's inspection of the Hexgates ventilation she smirks and in the midst of narration 'Our story is not over' the remnants of the monkey grenade is highlighted. In front of the fire she's conflicted when asking Vi if she's still in the fight, since she doesn't know whether or not it's best to inform her of what she knows. And there's influential scenes with Jinx where she listens even after stating they're too late. To Silco, while in the cell: 'I think the cycle only ends when one finds the will to walk away.' The known and unknown conversations between her and Ekko. 'No matter what happened in the past it's never too late to build something new.... Sometimes to make a leap forward you have to leave a few things behind.' Solidified with the final shot, being of a blimp Jinx imagined one day flying away on from the very beginning. My man Ekko gave up the universe of his dreams so he could save everyone. He's the goat to me. Also what kills me is that If you think about it, you literally can't think of a timeline where Jayce and Viktor live happily. Viktor always dies of illness without meeting Jayce and inventing hextech, and Jayce always commits s*icide without meeting Viktor and inventing hextech (hence why they aint in the alternate universe without hextech)... In a way we saw their "happiest" timeline, which is a tragedy in itself, coz if they dont meet they die, if they meet they cause death.

[@scotthenderson3519]

Yeah, No Body, No death. I feel when Jynx said "Vi, You can't save him" it was a hint as well -> She is going to try with her knowledge to try and make up for everything that happened and let VI live with Cait.

[@topgamer101]

Something to bare in mind about the ending... People say there's a small shimmer trail just before Jinx's grenade explodes, Caitlyn notices ducts in the tunnel the two of them were falling down, and that last scene of the ship sailing away was a ship young Powder mentioned she wanted to fly one day followed by Jinx's usual mental difficulty colored lines. Jinx is alive. She somehow got that ship and sailed off like she always wanted.

[@NAKOYAH]

I do want to let y'all know that there is not ONLY pain!! The show hinted at the end that jinx DID actually survive. If you pause during the explosion, you can see a quick pink line dash to an air duct, which is jinx's shimmer, and later on you see that caitlyn did figure out what happened as well, as she was holding jinx's monkey and looking at the layout of the airducts. The show then ends with a clip of an airship going away (which powder says one day she's gonna ride in one in s1 ep1) then a quick flash of jinx's handwriting saying "THE END," also why would ekko only light up one piece of paper, when he lost both heimerdinger and jinx?? The common theory for the fans is that Jinx (and possibly ekko too) flew away on the airship afterwards to break the cycle of killing and leave like silco told her to, and in her mind, let cait and vi be happy together without having vi worry about her anymore. Tragic asf tho... And League of Legends fans also theorize based off of LOL lore that jinx (+maybe ekko) that jinx is heading to demacia, where she will meet lux, another LOL character that the game constantly pairs with each other and are canonically very close

[@jimvlacho636]

Well, the good case scenario is that Jinx is alive and left to live alone wherever she goes. She lost everyone and everything and has a big ass trauma left inside her... She will never see Vi or Ekko again, according to LOL lore. The pain for us is the same as she was dead... So, no relief in believing that she is alive...

[@puneetsingh404]

If you play it frame by frame you can see Jinx's shimmer like powers escaping before the bomb goes off and further at the end we see Caitlin examining the plans for Hexgates. They zoomed on the air vents at the bottom of the tunnel, the same tunnel towards which that glowing shimmer went right before the bomb went off. So I'm pretty sure Jinx is alive. Also at the end they show a balloon ship leaving Piltover, as Powder mentioned one day she'll be riding one of those. I think she made a deception of her death for everyone to escape her life in Piltover. Hence breaking the cycle and making a new beginning.

[@ErengmsTatakae...]

" That which inspires us to our greatest good, is also the cause of our greatest evil " Viktor 👉Swain carries a three eyed crow. Next Runeterra Animated Series... She lived..Silko said the only way to break the cycle is for her to walk away. She chose to make everyone think she was dead so that she could break the cycle. If Vi knew she survived she would have done everything to find Jinx, continuing the cycle. You can see a purple line before the explosion due to Jinx's shimmer zoom out of the blast, Cait looking at the hex gate blueprints focusing on the vents, and the airship at the end, referring to Powder's dream of riding one of them in the first episode.

Ekko: "Jinx, why are you posing like that?" Jinx: AURA

[@Wolfsmoke92]

Such a masterful ending 🎉 its fun and suprising to watch both your reactions because they feel like pure no thoughts emotional reactions and then you guys come in with really articulated and insightful analysis after ❤

[@uyda110]

JINX is..... alive!🥰😜 1. When the explosion slows down, you will see a purple stripe running away. 2. Caitlin suspects, looking at the drawings, but immediately understands everything when Vi starts singing. 3. Vai is not particularly killed, but hums melodies. 5. Silko hinted to her in prison, get out into the fog. 6. And the finale, we were shown the ship from episode 1 of season 1, on which Powder wanted to fly, and according to the drawings there are exits to their parking lots. 7. It is logical that after the business trip, Ecсo told Jinx a lot, and maybe even showed 🍌🥰And they both went on that very ship, to romatic in Bali......... 8. You forgot that Jinx is not a fool at all, and many even said goodbye to her at the end of season 1.

[@Crosswound]

At the end right before the explosion, you can see the pink flash of jinx using her speed powers, she got away. But she chose to free Vi from her bond to her so she could live her life.

[@jitty1551]

Il Tradimento era già stato suggerito negli episodi precedenti ragazzi. La ragazzina coi capelli arancioni era sempre a fianco a Caitlin era una spia di ambessa. English Betrayal was already hinted at in previous episodes guys. The orange haired girl was always by Caitlin's side was a spy for Ambessa.

[@ArcaneMelodies82]

I am surprised how many people thought Jinx actually died given all the foreshadowing she was leaving Piltover & Zaun so Vi can move on and be happy with Cait. ACT II & III were full of quotes telling us Jinx should leave,Walk away,Fill her own cup,too smart to stay in a bar all her life,leave a few things behind to take that leap and move forward. Always with Vi even why she is worlds apart. Then the last two scenes only served to hint Jinx could have survived and sure enough when the creators were asked if Jinx died, they could not keep a straight face,Ella in particular. They are leaving i open. AKA Jinx is Alive and got to ride on an airship like she always wanted to.

[@MrMakko75]

At the 25:55 mark in your video... right before the explosion... There's a pink trail, very fast, flying away. It's Jinx. She's alive (with Warwick, I assume).

[@MrRaam20]

exactly what i said

[@ryuseiken9762]

No Warwick is dead , he survived Isha shot thanks to Victor , Victor not here he's dead except if he escape like Jynx

[@ereh6707]

Warwick should be dead. It would make sense if he survives but makes Jinx's presumed "sacrifice" less impactful. The symbolism was that she was putting Vander to rest by setting off the bomb similar to how he would put them to rest by blowing the candle out before they fell asleep. I feel like him surviving would just be lame after all that 😂

[@Alexszander]

@@ryuseiken9762 Warwick didn't survive Isha's shot thanks to Viktor, Singed injected him with that thing he created, which made Warwick go berserk again right before his blood was drawn away into the tube feeding Viktor's pod, which helped Viktor evolve.

[@TerrellJones-l3m]

She’s still alive but arcane ended

[@gazlator]

For the writers to simply kill off Jinx now, or leave Vi & Caitlyn's adventure unresolved - given the massive outpouring of admiration built up by an audience who have come to to love these stories, so richly & thoroughly deserved - that would be to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

[@cristiancesargomes8864]

It's exciting to realize that Jinx tried to kill herself with the explosion, thinking that Ekko was one of the hallucinations, but when she realized it was really him, she tried to jump so as not to hurt him

[@driftk1ng055]

In the netflix arcane aftershow with the cast there was a question 'is jinx dead?' and the actress of jin replied we dont know and everybody was trying to hide their laugh combined with the evidence of the final episode i think jinx is 100000% alive

[@kuramaz-x3v]

If what people are saying is true, Jinx survived and managed to escape before the explosion. That’s why Caitlyn is seen examining that blueprint. Additionally, in Episode 1 of Season 1, Powder mentioned that one day she would fly an airship. At the end, we see an airship fleeing, and it's rumored that she is on board. It's also said that this airship is heading to Demacia, the homeland of Lux and Garen. Furthermore, in League of Legends game lore, there is video content on KZbin showing LoL-Jinx and Lux together in Demacia. In an interview, it was stated: "Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia are getting series, and they are the next steps in this cinematic universe." If the timeline aligns where Lux and Jinx meet, and the theory about Jinx surviving and the airship heading to Demacia is accurate, we might see her again.

[@hevzengames]

In the League of Legends universe, which is made up of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra, there are no infinity stones. But different types of magic and Rune = Runeterra. At the very beginning there was only the Void and the Watchers, but then the light appeared and a reality emerged that awakened the Watchers and since then they have been trying to destroy it. In reality, the death of Gray man/Pale man, which later becomes Kindred, two aspects of death, Lamb peaceful death and Wolf brutal death, appeared/originated. In the universe = Celestial Realm, the dragon of Twilight as Aurelion Sol created the stars around which the planets were formed. And later on, celestial beings and gods also began to engage in reality manipulation. The celestial gods created constellations that serve as predictions and guidance for people, and with the help of world runes they created the planet Runeterra in one of the regions, they pulled the mountain Targon out of the earth, which serves as the Gateway to the Celestial realm Targon Prime = "Universe". One of the Celestial Gods, for some unknown reason, later hid the world runes across the Runeters, which over time caused magical radiation, thanks to which Spirit Gods such as Anivia, Ornn, Volibear,... which reshaped the surface of the planet by ghosts, demons, and later created magical beings; Sky giants; Yordles = Heimerdinger from Bandle city which is in spirit realm; Vastayashai'rei (Shapeshifting Spirit race) + Humans = Vastaya Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoids races. Later, the Targionians people together with the help of the celestials created a crown for Aurelion Sol, whom they enslaved and thus became forced to listen to orders from the Celestial aspects to seal/destroy the void rifts with their Celestial fire. Over time, it is clear that various types of magic appeared or arose on Runeterra: Celestial, Spiritual, Shadow, Runic, Elemental, Temporal, Necronatic, Blood,... Runeterra is supposed to serve as a place where super powerful beings of Ascended aspects = Celestial demi-gods are to be created by, for example, a person climbs to the top of the mountain Targon and one of the Celestials chooses him as a suitable guest. Or, with the help of the Sun disk, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors where some failed and The Baccai = Ramus were created and others were Ascended sunborn Nasus, Renekton,... And later the fragments of them were created after the Void battle Darkins. All of this is to serve as a defense shield against the Void and its watchers, who are trying to destroy reality by creating Void rifts through which void born creators and monsters can pass and which devour and destroy. Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.

I think Jinx isn't dead, you can see a pink ray go out a little after the explosion. In game, she goes really fast when she gets a kill... So she "killed" warwick (the wolf), got her passive (ability in game) and go out through a vent Caitlyn later saw, and she said something at the beginning of wanting to fly a flying thingy, and at the end we see one going out... it could be her, or a reach. And I haven't checked, but the arcane rock that suck viktor and jayce in presents a symbol before disappearing and the effect it does at the end sounds like Ekkos techonology, it can be a time rune and they're in a different time, that I dont know for sure.

Just heard something: Ekko might have saved Jinx when the explosion might have killed her. The theory is that Ekko kept reversing time as he saw her falling...4 times, as noted in the electric bolts flashing 4 times after the pink streak, meaning the 4th attempt she escaped just before the explosion happened! Thoughts?

[@DeathLess-fx9wz]

Hmm, never heard this theory untill now. But if that happened, why was Ekko burning the paper right at the end? Was it for powder from the other universe?

[@kerraii2008]

@@DeathLess-fx9wz Unsure. I think it could possibly be he does not know if Jinx actually lives because he doesn't see her or Warwick's remains? I am thinking it is for Vi in the other dimension. Or the paper is for some other reason, not for the lost lives?
