It's Ekko's Time to Shine! - Arcane Season 1 Eps 7 Reaction

[@shamsham1229]

That bridge scene is one of the best scenes ever put to TV.

[@davetheblade]

Without a doubt!

A common misconception, and I know you guys get this but for folks watching, at 12:50ish - this isn't Ekko controlling time, though it does represent his fascination with the concept. This is showing that this showdown is a callback to a game they used to play when they were kids, and they're both imagining how it would go then versus how it would go now. And then the watch dings, and we're back to the here and now and it's no longer a game, but it's two people who have known each other nearly their whole lives trying to full on kill each other. It's visually stunning and super cool, but it's fundamentally heartbreaking.

I cry almost as much at this one as I do at the end of ep 3. The life they SHOULD have lead... my heart.

I know this reaction is old, so I'm sure everyone's figured it out at this point, but a lot of reactors are confused why Jinx thinks Vi is a liar just because she went back for Caitlyn. Silco told her earlier that Vi was there only for the crystal, and then Vi said to Jinx she didn't know what the crystal was and that she was there only for her. When Jinx saw that Vi cared about Caitlyn (someone trying to take the crystal) and went back for her when she was in trouble (something Jinx thinks Vi never did for her), then she assumed Vi was lying saying she was only there for her and that Vi's ulterior motive was to manipulate her and get the crystal for Caitlyn.

Dude I love Ekko so much so to see his little moment with jinx was awesome

[@Atrop1ne]

As you said, that fight was an homage to his kit. Also when he yells “go!”, Ekko’s theme song is playing in the background.

[@Shax22132]

One of the most tragic aspects of Jinx is that she *knows* that she's mentally unwell, and does her best to fight against it. We see it when she's watching the bridge; she tells the voice in her head that Caitlyn and Vi hugging is just a good-bye hug, and that Vi won't betray her again. She's giving her sister the benefit of the doubt. Yet Jinx has the constant bad luck (no pun intended) of being in just the wrong place at the wrong time to see/hear something out of context that makes her think/assume the worst, and this time is no different. So once again, her mental state deteriorates in a hurry, and things go wrong yet again.

This episode goes so hard! Super glad you two are putting these on KZbin!

[@tyrbrelk8444]

don't know how i never noticed before but Silco's Left eye doesn't even blink when he does, truly alien.

[@shsnwksybdeb]

no controlling time...yet

[@tannerwilliams4500]

My favorite episode, because man that Echo x Jinx scene, wow!

[@bradenmacchia3737]

Adam, love ya man, but the only time you've said Caitlyn's name correctly is in the old videos (and now this intro) lol

[@kaenopi]

Just to be clear, I believe he does control time in the game, but he didn't do that here. He was only recollecting memories of him playing with Powder, and used that to dodge all of her actual deadly bullets.

[@tatitorodriguez376]

I’ve been waiting for this.

[@aliencatmeow]

good i saw that i was like you spelt his name wrong so yay you corrected it

[@berketepe136]

Been refreshing for the Agatha finale reaction!!

[@scarce_viking9074]

Didn't you see the community post? That reaction is delayed until next week.

[@austinparker6613]

My man on the the left has watched head. He has that same look my wife has when she watched with out me.

[@dempstick7]

His name is Ekko. Not Echo.
