[@Cherryberryfruitt]

the parallels in this show are unmatched, marcus holding back Vi from powder, Vi holding Jinx back from Isha. Jinx finally realising why Vi didnt want powder to come with them to save Vander. Vander was changed when he took the children in, Silco was changed by Jinx, and now Jinx is changed by Isha. Some other cute details i noticed: -Isha looks terrified but when she sees Jinx she looks calm and if you focus on Isha's eyes in that scene, her pupils get bigger when she sees Jinx 😭 -Jinx's hair is a cross between her mothers and young Silcos (Silco probably did that on purpose) -Isha's pink face paint is the same as powders Also Sevika to me is 100% the Varys of arcane, she is loyal to the realm (zaun). When she realised Vander was putting the kids before what the people thought was best for Zaun she switched to Silco who's number 1 goal was Zaun, and now Silco's gone everyones relying on Jinx and Sevika's doing whatever she can to help Jinx

go look at the opening of S2E1 and Jayce/Mel. If that is not enough light spoilers about things to look for getting more spoilery as it goes along. Also the Ambessa music video has hints if you want to watch it before S2E7. look at the shape/direction of Mel's power in S2E4 Jayce S2-E1 "How did I survive with nothing that happened while Victor.." S2-E1 The floor around Jayce/Mel Her power goes out in all directions There is a circle on the floor around Mel/Jayce and she is winded S2E1 She put a bubble around her and Jayce, which is why they didn't even have dust on them. There are lots of hints where the power comes from, but that is from outside arcane at the moment. With the Ambessa video There is a circle on the ground around her and her belly is a little round.

[@grimm_satisfaction1292]

They're bio-magitech cyborgs... I sincerely doubt that breathing is even necessary...

[@baelorn519]

Whether Viktor is aware of it or not he was helping the Rune replicate. The marks he left on people are present in the Rune and the commune itself is modeled after the Rune(why would Viktor do that?). Also, he said that the Rune was self-replicating and self-annihilating at the same time. That's exactly what he was doing. He got weaker with each "replicant" he created. Singed told him his ability was finite. I think he was dying regardless of anything Jayce did.

[@centripetal6157]

I wonder if Victor survived the sharknado bazooka from Jinx... Because he seemingly was already dead from the blast - with only hextech being activated.

[@spocins415]

one of the monster things jayce imagined as he saw them had no brain...

[@KikiMk06]

I think the biggest clue to answer this question is that the community Viktor "healed" can't live if Viktor isn't alive, just like the doctor told him, if he persih the community is soon to follow , and we see the effect of Viktor's touch after Jayce shoots him. Was it a good thing what Viktor did? To me it looked shady af, being a hive mind and all, but of course I wanted to see Vander get better, I think that is what makes us angry or dissapointed at Jayce.

[@aranthur]

It's subtle, but I think episode 5 is a real turning point for Caitlyn. She puts on her detective pants again and discovers that not only has Ambessa been making deals with scientists behind her back... But also this doctor, who is responsible for the creation of Shimmer and Warwick and who knows how many other poisons and abominations that have ravaged the people of the undercity, isn't actually a Zaunite like she assumed He's a once respected Piltovan motivated solely by love for a lost family member, just like her, and Caitlyn realizes that if she continues down the path Ambessa has her on, she could easily end up becoming him

[@lilunette9319]

[@Crystalitar]

[@The_Wild_Healer]

Very observant about Mel's armor glowing. There's also a massive circle around where she was in the wresckage thats completely untouched and Jayce was holding onto her so he was somehow protected by her it's lookin like

[@breereeves7819]

Holy shit, incredible observation. In the first episode, it looks like maybe Jayce jumped on Mel to protect her from the blast, but it may have been the other way around...

[@carmenmintrose]

Ahh the scene where Vi, Jinx, & Vander hugged... I was sobbing the first time. Even the scene of young Vander and Silco, they had such hope and were so close. And Isha's sacrifice at the end aksdf :( I agree that those people healed by Viktor look like they're a part of a cult, like they don't seem like individuals anymore. I thought Viktor was doing good upon the first watch, but now I'm wondering if all these people that were cured by Viktor are dying because Viktor is essentially taking back his power to save himself, since as the Doc said, his powers are finite. And that could explain why he was saying that he gets it now, that no one can escape humanity, perhaps as in the will to live since in this crucial moment he chose to save himself. And as for Jayce, I feel like he saw the actual truth about Arcane or something, he seems hell bent on destroying everything no matter what. Like I really feel like he has a good reason to act this way, which I guess we'll find out later. Also another interesting thought - I read someone's observation online that the runes in Viktor look corrupted, whereas Jayce's runes look pristine. Could mean that Jayce is actually the pure one. And when Jayce sees these healed people, he can see the corruption within, that's why there are flashes of creepy purple creature things on screen. Anyway, thank you for another enjoyable reaction! I just stumbled across your channel for the first time through these Arcane videos, and am loving how many little details you guys catch with every episode. Can't wait to see the rest!

[@lilunette9319]

Oh, I love your take! I right away hated what Viktor because cul5s always do the same. They pretend to heal, but really, they absorb people and take their autonomy and individuality away. Become a hive mind where only the top matters. And you're right, Viktor is the corrupted one. He fused with the help of shimmer and changed the arcane. Hence why when they die, their eyes fill with purple.

[@sickkittenz]

Well guys we got 10 seconds of happiness! Very kind of the writers ❤

[@phongphan7917]

All the humans Viktor saved were no longer breathing. They were just Arcane machines. In the underground refrigeration chamber when Jayce met Salo, only the living like Jayce, Heim, Ekko breathed cold air but Salo did not. Jayce is the hero here

[@nikoguarro]

43:03 I think the thing between Jayce and Viktor is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Jayce saw the future and is trying to stop it, but in doing so, he is actually fulfilling that future

[@centipedet1-772]

I’ve been thinking the exact same thing, everyone keeps saying that Jayce did the right thing and it’s kind of frustrating that nobody is looking at all of the clues. After Jayce kills Salo Victor comments about how he could hear an ancient voice come from the core and how that didn’t seem to be entirely Jayces doing. Like you said he might be seeing a self fulfilling future. Whatever that voice is doing it always triggers Jayce whenever he gets a moment of lucidity, egging him back on the path that will lead to him killing Victor. Than with Victors ending monologue about human emotions now he’s going to end up turning people into those monsters that Jayce has been seeing

[@LegitLord2000]

Would be so poetic, just like Powder, all he wants to do is help but what if he was tricked and destroys a future where life could have been a paradise

[@CrazeeAdam]

I think one thing.. Until we see exactly what Jayce and the others went through in the sphere... We really can't judge. What we do know is Jayce still saw Viktor as a brother. All the way up to when they parted. So he had to have had a really good reason for killing what was left of his best friend

[@kiryukaimemorial]

A Final Glorious Evolution. All according to Keikaku. ... Jayce and Jinx basically switched roles in this Act (Jayce became the chaotic jinx hearing voices). Powder was recreated through Isha (with the stones and good-willed intervention). Caitlyn was Marcus (until Vi intervened) and Medarda was Silco (wanting to use a Shimmer-fueled monster to further her agenda).

[@cryox5850]

Also it seems like warwick (vander) was not going crazy because of viktor. If, why would he spit molten lava? You see 1 frame of singed there. So I believe while they left him alone he did his shit, he wanted to do from the beginning with Ambessa. The whole crazy molten lava/blood thing is also very singed like. "the mutation MUST survive"

[@crazy_annihilator6961]

i think it actually is because everyone viktor tried to heal or healed has metal on or probably also in them and after he died they are now rejecting it and dying but because of warwick's healing abilities the metal is melting in him but he can't die.

[@jamaalgaylord5029]

​@@crazy_annihilator6961they specifically showed singed standing and Warwick started rampaging way after everyone else was already screaming. If Viktor dieing was the cause he would have started reacting at the same time as everyone else not so long after everyone else. Singed just injected him and that was the cause.

[@mtheroes3296]

​@crazy_annihilator6961 The thing is that it makes no sense in a way. Before Victor even started "healing," Vander was already in an ok state due to Vi and Jinx. Why would suddenly dying turn him to be worse than he already was.

[@livdolllover22445]

@@mtheroes3296Because Vander’s healing factor is insane so Viktor dying and killing him wouldn’t have truly killed him but that combined with whatever Singed injected him with is what caused that nuclear reaction so to speak is my theory

[@jenna127]

Yeah I saw that theory and I agree it's compelling. Also just the fact that "killing" Viktor effectively kills all of them imo is kinda proof that something was very wrong with the whole thing... very hivemind-y. Like are you REALLY healing people and creating utopia if their "life force" is connected to you? Edit: To clarify, not that I'm blaming Viktor, but I just think something deeply creepy was going on here and we're gonna learn more of the truth about it in the next act.

[@_Chaosnight_]

I mean perfect evolution would require you to not breath, eat, sleep or anything really, you could just live without any burden But tbh i severely doubt what Jayce did was the right or good thing to do, he seems to be manipulated and really mentally unwell, i believe whatever future he saw that he's trying to prevent will actually happen because of his radical actions, a self forfilling prophecy, because he attempted to prevent that future is the very catalyst that will cause it to happen Jayce always tries to do good but fails and makes things worse because he acts to hastily, he's naive and sometimes really bad in his decision making when he isn't being advised on what should be the right course of action

[@stinky9703]

​@@_Chaosnight_I think jayce witnessed total destruction of zaun and piltover. Or worse. If that's the case, then what he's doing is the right thing to do. The future he'll bring is going to be way better for zaun and piltover as a whole. I don't think they'll mess with the game lore so drastically. the world building for their future shows need to have a base that won't conflict with the events of arcane.

It's so beautiful that Vi finally putting her gauntlets down, a lesson Vander had been trying to teach her for so long, is what allowed him to notice her. F*ck this show.

[@EM-fl5od]

1:04:40 I think the implication is more that Viktor had the “bad” magic since his was man-made and altered. Whereas Jayce was being influenced by the pure Arcane from that crystal, it was probably the one telling him he needed to destroy what he created before it turned into what he saw.

[@deimus_]

Something that I noticed from other videos and made me realize is how Vander and Silco were like brothers and after the war they ended up fighting as well as Vi and Jinx but the other thing is how Vander for protecting Vi became a monster and how Silco for Jinx became a human and it seems that the same thing happened with Jinx, first he was a monster and with Isha she became a normal human again.

[@deimus_]

and now that I think about it, silco did his mother's hairstyle to jinx and when he saw her almost dead on the bridge, it is very likely that he remembered his friend who died in the war.

While losing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time. Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it. So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness. The other thing I am wondering now is if Ambessa....despite her "advice" on "professional entanglements", didn't actually put Maddie up to going after Cait. Because I honestly can't see Cait making ANY moves on Maddie otherwise. So Ambessa seems to have used Maddie to "fill the vaccum" she told Vi that she used to control Cait.

She is Jinx, man. She just meant the "idea" of what people have come to know as "Jinx" wasn't in her itinerary anymore. The gun-toting, underworld, chembaron-heavy that she was when Isha first met her isn't what she was trying to rep now. But that isn't even what Isha was talking about when she handed her that gun and started air-boxing . Isha was trying to get Jinx to live up to the same ideals that Sevika was talking about. Literally for the same reason. The people of the undercity needed a advocate against the oppression of Piltover. They all saw Jinx as Che Guevara or Nelson Mandela or Malcolm X; one of them, who not only stood up to Piltover, but also someone who had the stones to hit them where it hurt, not once, but twice. A real revolutionary. That's where Isha was coming from. Also, probably try not to attribute madness to Jinx that isn't there. You both saw her literally lay Silco's body to rest in the River Pilt in episode 2. She has trauma related psychosis. She's deadly, but she is not macabre.

Viktor's hextech is weird. People that Viktor healed don't breathe. You can see it when Jayce returns and meets Salo. Vapor is coming out of Jayce's mouth because the room is cold. But Salo doesn't have any vapor when he talks. In other words he doesn't breathe or his body is ice cold.

Yeah definitely. People are very naive those times, just because of how it looks they think it's all good. Yes, Viktor himself is good and has a kind heart, that's why he's easily manipulated by whatever this thing is

It's not just physical (breath), Salo desn't have any resemblance of his former personality either. He seems at piece, but at what cost I wonder. Viktor probably thinks he's doing good, but we all know it's not that simple. Jayce came to do the right thing, I think, but his timing was wrong🥲

This show is amazing. Only 2 seasons but it's up there with the best.

[@CelineStilinski]

I have a theory about what happened at the end. I honestly believe that if Warwick/Vander's was only Jayce fault, he would just be like the others, like "disconnected" (kind of?) but there's this short frame where we see Singed in the room where they were when they heard the explosion. And I think Singed actually got time to administer his thing/concoction when Vander was down like the others and couldn't defend himself and that would erase all of Viktor's work and that's why it's so much worse and that he's oosing lava.

[@nikoguarro]

Yeah, I think he had the syringe in his hand. So, if that ia true Vander probably was gone since the serum was meant to prevent Vander's recovering.

[@killerbas40]

For anyone that didn't miss that shot of singed, i feel like that was the obvious answer, don't doubt yourself too much you're right on the money. Only way this wasn't what happend is if they purposefully try to pull a twist. But in this setting that wouldn't make any sense, why would he be crying lava suddenly instead of just be enraged like he was before. It is possible that jayce did add onto warwicks rage, but its likely just the serum hurting him. Alot of people commenting or people reacting to it just seem to miss the frame of singed or didn't make the connection, but why was he there and wasn't he unconscious and why did fortiche place that shot there. Ambessa foreshadowed this in her training with cait; lava in your veins, shadows in your heart

[@AshtonWizard]

I’m so early!! I have no idea how they’re going to wrap this up in 3 episodes but I need them to stop strangling my heart. Can’t we have 2 minutes of happiness 😭

[@BattleAngelFan99]

If they had released this at theaters, I'd have gone to a theater to see this season. Can you imagine? It's 100% worthy of it. This series is better crafted than any movie you see these days. 14:51 "What's wrong with my pants???" :D God I love this moment. Jinx has experienced crazy shiz, but nobody's ever insulted her pants before. :D 17:09 And this one 18:20 And this one 29:04 Important rule: Do not bite Vi. :D 35:02 I guess Mel is going Captain Marvel. :D That's going to be interesting. 36:55 Mega-beast vs Mega-beast. That ending... It really helps to be in love with the lore they've released via their cinematics, because there you get to know the characters for the pure idea of what they are. You don't get too emotional when you see these characters clashing because it's all about the spectacle and how beautiful it all looks. That's how I met Jinx, through the cinematics. I didn't know the details of how she got to where she is, even though I knew it must be pretty dark and tragic. Then Arcane comes along. I've known all along, it's giving us the backstory of these characters. And it's not going to end with everyone in a completely happy place. This helps me cope when we get what we seem to have gotten in the act 2 finale. But wow, how can they end this series in only 3 more episodes? I don't know, but I trust them. This story will end as it was meant to, and will be something to build on as this universe expands.

"eHehehe", why'd you stop chuckling? don't stop laughing.

[@IAMBADATSTUFFZ]

A little fact in the scene where Sevika is running from the prison with Isha, you can actually hear Isha yell mama as she reaches for Jinx 😭😭

[@joshbourne9679]

When Jayce talks with the councillor Jayce breath shows in the cold while the others doesn’t. They’re not alive they have no free will viktor has a parasite and he’s feeding it hosts maybe not on purpose but he’s definitely not a “healer” he’s made zombies that he can’t control

[@joshbourne9679]

Jase made a promise "I will not fail" something happen to Haimadinger?in the arcane.

[@WeaselSpanzor]

Jayce and Heimerdinger

[@evamonique2898]

Thank you for making these videos, they make me feel a little less lonely, it's like I'm watching with friends💚💙💚💙💚💙

[@pazz]

52:48 Brave? Or has he lost all impulse of self-preservation?

[@mangafurie7698]

If you look at the final shot of Singed in the first season, it was him ssiting in a chair with Vander's body hanging (it was almost blended in the background, hard to see), but it did tease that he was doing something to his body, and here it is.

[@DL2133]

LOVE the imagery in the Warwick vs Vi fight. The glowing red and electric blue all surrounded in darkness. Also the mirroring from Season 1 when Vi told Cait she couldn't protect Powder from the real monster (Silco)...and she's protecting Jinx and Isha from a real monster in Warwick.

[@cc__tv8283]

i’ve waited 3 years for this and it’s literally fucking GLORIOUS and warwick *chefs fucking kiss*

[@jerrylamb2385]

What I love about this show is, there is so much thought and respect from the creators towards the characters. When you think that a character did something just because it was convenient to the story, you realize that, a normal person would do the same. Jinx using a lighter to see what happened and not just clap was, at least in my understanding, fear to see the worst, either Vander or Vi dead, that's why she approach slowly and hope the best.

[@godsson231]

When she talked about being a mom I cried for Bridget because I know she knows the feeling

[@destro6971]

To Valhalla 🤘🏼💙🤘🏼

[@alexwang3282]

33:52 you forgot Singed and Heimer was colleague before. Singed's daughter is already dead and his action trying to undo death was the reason he separated his way from Heimer.

[@nyomyu]

can i just say, i dont think Jayce had the "bad" kind of magic, i think its viktor😫 like..... have u seen how all those people died with him? he was creating his own 'monsters' or puppets, they're def not the same people they were before. the whole place was... uncanny...

[@lilunette9319]

Yes. I screamed cult the first time Viktor healed Huck.

[@chance757]

@@lilunette9319 jinx called it a cult too…

[@Pepper_Jvck]

By the way: Misha, the guitarist of Periphery, did Warwick’s theme.

[@masonbrown533]

Y’all should consider maybe vikor has the bad “stuff”. We don’t know what Jayce has gone through, and he’s seeing those people as faceless husks of a person. He obv knows something we do not

[@devoutgirl]

omg ive been waiting for your guys reaction!!!

[@pazz]

Salo was not breathing.

[@Crystalitar]

This is gonna be the longest week for you two. The stakes are so high i can't

[@castorness]

ohmygod the dial-up internet comment had me in stitches 😭

[@CrazeeAdam]

If you go back to the last episode of Season 1, while Jinx fires the missle at Piltover, it flashes different characters and what they're doing. One such character is the mad doctor (Singe) and he has a large clawed beast hanging up already. Through the show we've only seen one.. Person that looks like that, Vander after he took the Shimmer. The build up to his return through the first three episodes of this season makes a lot of sense if you realize it's him early. Not just some random beast

[@a.a677]

Caitlyn actually did like when Vi spat on her LMAO she wiped it over her lips without even blinking 🤣🤣🤣

[@H880]

This show should be titled "Arcane: You're gonna cry"

[@mcfearsun]

I would’ve taken one punch and been like “vandERS STATUE! VANDERS STATUE!!!”

[@0l._.l0895]

The one thing that I think is always interesting is that Jinx and Viktor have been ready to die for a while and people keep bringing them back and they just keep going through more. Viktor had accepted death a long time ago and Jayce revived him even after he basically said destroy it and Jinx has tried to kill herself multiple times and somehow she is stopped or saved by someone else. Now that they both think that they are doing good, (even though viktor is clearly being manipulated by the Arcane) of course all of it had to end. The crashout that Jinx is about to have is going to be insane and I don't think the Viktor is dead so whatever he turns into will also crash out and in my opinion they both deserve to go as crazy as they want after all of this bullshit.

[@Athenaloves-cake]

YESSSS KICKING MY FEET. YAYAYAYA!! Genuinely screamed “BRIDGECO POSTED!!”😆💕💕

[@RedEveTillDawn]

I watched a reaction yesterday and someone commented when Vi spit on Cait, "Cait said: imma save that for later" 🤣

[@tomfish6900]

You saw how the screen stopped in the end? Like, the literal time stopped by itself? Ekko's nickname is "The Boy who Shattered Time", there is still hope!

[@egerdrawings9468]

They even showed Vander being almost completely healed. When i puched Rictus out of this dome you can see blood on the Glass splinters, but Vander didn't turn into his bloodthirsty rage modus. Sadest part about this was, at lost for me , it was just a tragedy waiting to happen.

[@mingemunch3r]

9:37 “it was a big night” had me dead

[@06TRSTN]

i think singed was the reason vander or Warwick became heated up, they left him alone with him when vi and jinx checked out what was happening outside

[@kay_lie223]

When Isha is being taken away by Sevika you can hear her scream out “mama”
