[@ri3121]

Just a theory, but I feel like the arcane is more void type energy than that from the world runes. Which would explain all the warping that's happening as that is what the void does. And what do we know about the void? That it wants to spread. It found Victor as a host who would be glad to spread the "Arcane" to help people. The void doesn't care whether it helps people or not, so the fact that they somewhat stayed who they were, and lived a peacefull life is of no consequence. But Jayce somehow finds out and knows that the spread needs to stop, so he tries to kill victor. Victor will come back, or at least a version of him so warped by the void he is unrecognizable, and he will stop at nothing to spread the "arcane".

Caitlyn realizes what she was doing wrong was when they talk to Singed. Caitlyn hates Singed and calls him a "monster" because he created Shimmer and does inhuman experiments. When Singed tells her what he did was for the love of his daughter, Caitlyn realizes that because of her love for her mom, she might be doing something evil as well. That makes her understand that not everything can be justified for love but also that she would still be willing to help people that she loves (Vi) for good. This is exactly the message they were trying to convey through this episode, that there are 2 sides of a coin. Love makes us do both good and bad things. Caitlyn's love for her mother made her do bad things but her love for Vi makes her do good. That is exactly what they were trying to tell us.

After Viktor dies Vander is still not affected but you can see singed for a second after they leave the tent standing over him, the liquid in his thingy is orange so you can tell he did inject him with the stuff while everybody else was distracted. The runes on the staff the guy uses to absorb Jinxs attacks are an item from the game they have one of the highest magic resist stats in game so it's really cool how they translated that into the show.

He absolutely is affected either way. Viktor's fingerpints are shining, just like they did with everyone else

[@BuddyChy]

@@Frandahabyes, but the injection Singed used on him is the primary reason for him going berserk. Don’t forget that Vander was already at least decently docile. Viktor was just slowly bringing back his humanity. Singed unleashed the beast and likely caused permanent damage and now he has suffered a direct hextech explosion so who knows what state he’s in or what level of recovery is even possible for him now.

[@o-wolf]

​@@BuddyChywanna know something even sadder? Vander was still in there, he wasn't losing it or going back to beast mode, his blood was turned into molten lava, watch it again, he goes PAST jinx vi and Isha and grabs Rictus to rip him apart, after that he still doesn't attack them he just starts crying and screaming in pain, even when he hits jinx it's because he gets stabbed in the back by a Noxian and in the confusion and agony lashes out and hits her by accident... Finally when Isha slides under him to end his suffering, he looks down on her in molten red tears and recognises her and probably understands what she's trying to do and doesn't stop her, he knows she's only trying to help her new friend This is all so good damn tragic and sad, but so real aghhh

my thought was Viktors healing is what was needed in Warwick for Singed to get what he wanted out of Warwicks canister... like Viktors healing was needed to make Singed's cure work. so when he took that Warwick's healing was basically done for.

[@michaelcarlson1208]

Isha's song, the last words the Chinese singer says translates to this: "I'm just fine this way" meaning that she didn't want to die but she accepts it has to be that way. Isha's name also multiple meanings, two of the most important are "Healer & The One Who Protects". That brush moments are intentional; we saw ourselves as a kid in brighter memories. Memories where all was bright, colorful, and joyful. We never wanted to change that, but we did. Also, two symbolism, Isha’s paint color is blue symbolism for Powder as she is catching up to Jinx purple to heal her soul. Also notice how Jinx’s eyes flutter blue at least twice as they are jumping. Now Isha's soul says those last words to Jinx, unheared by death, echoed on us. This show is the epitome of show, don’t tell. So many times, I wish more dialogue was written, or I wrote it my own. But they left it up to the audience to interpret the situation based on their own perceptions. And this truly epitomized by the character of Isha, a character that is mute, doesn’t say a single line of dialogue, which also represents the voices going away in Jinx’s head. People don't realize it yet, but the writers made their point of this act very clear from the beginning. The second we see Maddie with Caitlyn, we feel betrayed and hurt, some even hate Maddie herself. We feel bad for Vi and we feel cheated on as an audience, but time and people move forward, even if it's temporarily or attempt to "fill a hole,” but Maddie also played a secondary role; to help keep Cait's humanity. Warwick and Isha's roles were to heal Jinx, bring back her humanity, heal sisters and a family. And just like the intro of the act, it's the outro, we have it all torn away and are betrayed.

One thing that I did not notice immediately but really appreciate was the symbolism of Isha being mute. She can't talk and Jinx hears are voices in her head. If you look back to when Isha becomes part of Jinx's life, she stops hearing voices from that point on and Isha starts to gains confidence. Which is an amazingly subtle way of showing how love can heal trauma, even if one person is mute and unheard, and the other could not stop hearing the voices in her head. Sometimes all we need is someone.

[@TheDrosul]

Couple things to notice: -Salo doesn't breathe when he meets Jayce. And when Jayce first sees him, there's a quick flash of him being something... Not human...with an empty head (it's almost cup shaped) . The theories are that Viktor basically encountered some kind of malevolent void being that hijacks people's brains, and functions as a hive mind. If that's the case, Skye might actually not be Skye, but rather just the void thing's method of manipulating Viktor. -in the Jinx/Isha flashbacks during her epic moment, you see Jinx's pink eyes flickering back to blue a few times, showing the impact that Isha was having on Jinx, almost letting her start to turn back into powder. -Warwick/ Vander is triggered by blood, so after Isha gets accidentally smacked by Vi, it's that blood that triggered him to hunt her down. When Vi first punches him, you also see he's not even acknowledging Vi yet, he's reaching out to try and grab/hurt Isha while in his bloodlust state, and constantly distracted by her mid fight.

Some Act 2 Call Backs - Jayce, Ekko, and Heim definitely saw some evil twisted world. We are so sad and focused on the "Arcane" (getting vander back, all the happiness) that we didn’t focus on the little sinister details behind the scenes. One Salo isn’t breathing when they are in the hexgate mesh, they also did very quick camera flutter, but they show a very sinister image of non-human existing instead of salo as a human. Also, I don’t think a lot of people noticed, but Vander didn’t just disappear because of Viktor’s death. Singed most likely woke up and injected the Serum into Warwick after Caitlyn, Vi, and Jinx walked out. Season 1 - Vi "Oil & Water" | Season 2 - Caitlyn "You look like an angry oil slick" Also some people don't realize when Vi is telling us the plan, she is actually talking to Jinx because she says "You're not going to like it." Meaning Vi told Jinx the plan because she's going to have to trust Caitlyn. Ironically she didn't tell Caitlyn that Jinx knew the plan.

Girl. Jayce just save everyone so far. Viktor's cult seems pretty, but appearances are not always what they seem. Not a spoiler just some lore but in the videogame Jayce is "The Protector Of Tomorrow"

[@pazz]

I get why people think Jayce messed up here... but Viktor was making people who COULD NOT SURVIVE without him, people whose personalities fundamentally changed after he "healed" them, people who lost all impulse of self-preservation (Huck greeting Ambessa's army), and people who DO NOT BREATHE (Salo was not breathing at the base of the hex gate, Jayce's breath was visible, Salo's was not). It's obviously tragic, given Vander and Isha's fate. Ambessa's invasion may have had less of a chance if he hadn't done what he did. But Jayce didn't know any of that, he simply fulfilled the promise he made TO VIKTOR by finally destroying the hex core. For the record, I believe that Viktor believed he was doing good, but he was being used by the hex core (wearing Sky's face to manipulate him).

[@Invader_Rin13]

Remember back when Viktor wanted to destroy the hexcore? And now he doesn't, almost like now that he's fused with it it's slowly start to make him think he was doing good thing healing people through it's powers. I'm not convinced that it was, Viktor's motives might have been, but the hexcore seems to have been controlling him via Sky. Jayce might have seen something, being sent to the future where he saw exactly what happens if Viktor is left unchecked and had a mission to stop it at any cost. I also don't think Jayce is responsible for Vander. He wasn't 100% fixed by Viktor yet, so I don't think he was "linked" to Viktor yet. If you looked closely after the fight breaks out, there a shot of Singed (mad scientist guy) standing there. I assume he injected Vander with the serum that made him go full feral after Jinx and Vi left him alone with him to check out what had happen outside.

[@scrrin]

I just realized that we also don't know why Salo was in the Hexgate tower and why he's taking something (hexcores ?) from there. Can Victor recharge his power with hex crystals ? Will Isha's sacrifice give Victor a power up ?

[@mptkwakernaak3183]

Just the moment Jinx looked Isha run passed by with that "WTF" look in her face, and then the horror setting in, that for me personally was the best animated emotion i have ever seen, it cut me to pieces.

[@TheSchultzZ]

At the end, Isha became.... powder.

[@BorgZombie]

HEY. STOP THAT.

[@andresv.8880]

DAMN IT

[@jinx5349]

Literally

[@KingApeiron]

Me at the end of Act 1: What's up? Why am I not emotionally destroyed? Act 2: hold my hextech gemstone...

[@BrorFraNord]

18:34 Actually laughed out loud 😂

[@wartyrant8627]

So much for “no more crying” 💀

[@bmnbl]

I think we're about to see how Jace was right. The Arcane was corrupting life and Viktor, he just didnt know it and you could see that when he died all of those people he helped just died with them, they were bound to him controlled by the Arcane. We should see a flashback in the coming episodes hopefully. That's just my take :P

[@TheFlyingBookworm]

Yeah, as soon as viktor spoke through Salo I was uncomfortable. It was more like a hive mind. I don't think those people weren't truly alive anymore.

[@joe.banana]

Jayce 100% came from skynet future and tried to stop it. Except this most likely started it since at the end of the episode Viktor decided humanity needs to be erased.

[@jason.s.music.]

its also extremely evident in how much their personalities changes. Salo for the entire show has only ever cared about himself and having as much power as possible, but after supposedly only having his legs changed, he completely 180s and is kind and takes after Viktor's ideals. It's like the person who gets healed dies and is replaced by something else

[@morpheuslp4738]

@@jason.s.music. Definitely, if you look closely you will also see that in the tower Salo actually doesnt breathe... so yeah Jayce is fine and breathes, but he sees a "thing" "inside" Salo, who is not breathing at all...

[@Lexyvil]

This episode hit every note... No matter how many times I re-watch, I keep getting teary eyed.

[@leonardohenrique5172]

Has she ever cried this hard in a reaction? Poor Natalie 🥲

[@silver9wolf6]

Not for awhile! Probably last of us and Game of Thrones. I know, poor Nat :(

[@Okini_Hasa]

Nat!! You getting the reference of Ambessa "stoking the fire", aaaaaah!! I love that you caught that! ❤

[@zavs350]

I know this is the format Natalie uses, but I really wished she reacted one episode per video. There's so much nuance and symbolism in every scene that I wish I saw her reaction to lol

[@AlexanderForsman]

Isha did become powder in the end

[@BertJohnAFrias]

jail for this

[@MrDum80]

When you laugh and cry a lot at the same time...

[@jmilla321]

20:14 yes you could almost say they are like two sides of the same coin. you could almost even say that the source of their good and evil come from the same place... or something like that

[@AniMageNeBy]

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Eternal singularities off the shoulder of the Arcane. I watched blue beams glitter in the dark near the Hex Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die." - Victor

[@Thebeezzkneezz.]

"Am i supposed to know who viloet is" BRUH i laughed to hard, cuaght me so off guard Youre the best nat ❤

[@BirdsFlyinHigh]

the reunion hug and then next episode isha. I actually just couldnt process it. I'm glad they gave me a week between episodes because I was cooked. Its rare shows can make me cry that hard.

[@MrAndyboo]

Awww I’ve never seen you cry like that when Vander (Warwick from the game) was hugging them. I agree I bawledddd

[@frankjose4057]

This season has been an emotional roller coaster. Such a good show

[@Lyte-Iris]

I knew Nat would cry

[@junhakim5435]

We need the final part reaction😭

[@InfamousHei]

Act 2 broke me so damn hard, I honestly dont know if I will recover

[@ginobrc1]

i clicked the video just for the miniature.. and yeah, that photo of you absolutely sobbing sums up that ending perfectly

[@she1585]

It made me sob even harder when I realized Isha's last song was in a different language because she was selectively mute. She cries out "Mama!" to Jinx when Sevika is carrying her out of the prison which is the only time we hear her speak. Otherwise we see her sign to Jinx. The writers and artists paid attention to every single detail and it's so important to me 😭💕

[@jason.s.music.]

she doesn't cry out mama she just yells out, but the rest is all true. They're supposed to depict a healthy sibling relationship with Jinx being an older sister

[@Jungkith]

Already rewatched you 3 times sobbing to Isha😌

[@wolfsajin]

26:20 the cog wheel that viktor kept. Is was the first thing he and Jayce had that touched arcane. 😢

[@RAZORlukic]

I need a full hour to stop crying after episode 6... I'm still not over it, why always the poor little baby

[@illegalsheep1804]

I was eagerly waiting for your reaction. Love how much emotion I can relate to having while watching this show.

[@naanless]

Heimer can put the ashes back together, in heimer we trust

[@JayVicky007]

You're amazing and I'm looking forward to watching many more of your reactions.

[@cozee6275]

After watching episode 6 and bawling like a baby, I get a weird sick twisted joy out of watching other people react to this episode the same way and this was one of my favorites I’m so sorry.

[@rogermendoza9290]

nice reaction at the end with Ashisha, greetings from Venezuela

[@ロロノアゾロ-h4m]

I'm going to tell my therapist about Act 2, goddamn it.

[@stancinatti8198]

I always think when she says he shouldn’t have died she meant he shouldn’t have went for the gun like he kinda asked for it

[@BudhagRizzo]

Arcane deserves all the awards!

[@giannacharest9001]

literally so excited to see ur finale reaction!! it’s a blast 🎉😅🙃
