Necrit Reacts to "Still Here" Cinematic

[@Necrit]

This is just a quick cut of the 3 hour react stream. With every watch we discovered something new. The full lore breakdown should be up tomorrow!

[@lixydead3665]

Well it is close to be yassuo from the scar on face and covered hand also his movement and his sword attacks but at the same time who knows we put 70% yassuo

[@dioxide39]

For those curious on the timeline of the cinematic, from an article on dotesports, the Creative Director said the scenes are basically divided into 3 different eras of Runeterra. One during old Demacia era approx. 1000 years ago, The other when Ashe joined Tryndamere after becoming Oathsworn, and the final one into a potential future of Ionia.

[@JacobProRecords]

So its not Yasuos master but old Yasuo himself? THATS DOPE AF!!!

why "potential" future? that implies it could or could not happen

[@BaS12241]

can You share the article please?

[@tilltronje1623]

I love Lamb's subtle movements here! When Tryn refuses death and fights her, she tilts her head slightly. As if she is curious about this random man's determination. Then later, just before Ashe's arrows come flying she slightly lowers her bow and does not take the shot on Tryn, because shefeels Ashe comming and senses Tryn is no longer in mortal danger as he is about to be saved. Brilliant. I also love the implication that Tryn is actually still fighting his enemies but keeps seeing them as Kindred when he is close to death. Or maybe that whole fight was just in his head and passed within a second in the real world.

[@miantava]

Trynda came out of his fight against Kindred with bite or scratch marks on his shoulder pad. So it wasn't just in his head.

[@TheRagingAura]

​@@miantavacould be Kindred represents the danger he was in in the fight, with all his attacks actually hitting real enemies he sees as the Wolf.

[@miantava]

@@TheRagingAura The soldiers didn't leave the claw/bite marks on his pauldron. Their weapons wouldn't do that. He was definitely fighting the soldiers in the physical realm.. but somehow at the same time Kindred of whom "embodied" them in a different "realm" or whatever altogether. Idk. Doesn't make much sense how Wolf's damage would remain after they disappeared, but what's a God without a bit of mystery

[@Quang1999]

@@miantava they also just released a bunch of new in game interactions when Tryn and Kindred fight. "Again, these spirits stalk me... how many times must i tell them, not today" Literally one of the rawest lines i've ever heard. It suggests that Tryn does fully see Kindred everytime they fight.

[@kitnal4143]

@@Quang1999 I kinda prefer the idea that they are tangible to those that fight them off, as we know from LOR there are multiple spirits of death, Lamb and Wolf just being the most prolific.

[@vulterion9162]

I like the idea that Trynda isnt immortal he just beats up Kindred every time they come for his soul.

[@MiltonGustavoMachado]

Yeah like he isn't inkillable/immune to dying, he just has so much rage towards death itself (themselves, regarding runeterra) that he simply survives beating up kindred everytime

[@baronfuath5872]

Kindred keeps ganking top lane and feeding. report pls.

[@moopey1837]

Well yeah. He doesn't have magic. It could never be the case that he is actually immortal. His ult is just a representation of what we saw here. That anytime he's about to die, he gets a strength boost because of his rage and/or adrenaline, and he manages to kill whatever it is that's killing him. Even in game he isn't actually immortal. You can kill him, but you just have to wait until he calms down and runs out of rage and strength.

[@goobagombi9893]

trynda was about to get killed but the lamb did not take the shot

[@lovelysunday5091]

​@@goobagombi9893yes because ashe is there and she saved him so The lamb must thought it is not his time yet

[@jason_a_rodriguez]

I absolutely love how kindred looks in this. Wolf is a terrifying, relentless beast ready to take your soul. Lamb looks so uncanny, but strangely calm and peaceful almost.

[@shieldgenerator7]

her expressions are hauntingly cold and uncaring. despite trying to take your life, theyre not passionate about it, and dont care either way. like a force of nature

[@cylnder]

​@@shieldgenerator7 i mean, they literally ARE a force of nature so it checks out

[@ArukiTsukaru]

[@xuananhcao8744]

​@@shieldgenerator7canonically lamb is unable to feel emotions tho she understands them while wolf feels emotions but cant understand them so makes sense why lamb isnt passionate abt it, wolf probably is but we dont hear the characters speak so we just assume they dont care

[@TheChiog]

The symbolism is also great. No matter how much Tryndamere fights, there isn't really anything he can do. He breaks the lamb's bow, but it just reappears, he fends off the wolf, but can't really harm him. Then Ashe appears and they simply leave, because his death is now prevented

[@AthinaiosFr]

In Yasuos' part,this cinematic might be teasing the way Yasuo is going to die in the future and that is the reason we can also see the wolfs eyes in the background with the arrows ready to hit Yasuo.

[@joshtompkins1538]

Even more obvious, look at the last few seconds before it transitions to Tryndamer. That is clearly Lambs arrow.

[@HazeyInsanity]

Yeah, he is pretty old and fighting in a war, would make sense this is how he goes down

[@AthinaiosFr]

@@joshtompkins1538 Exactly, every detail of this part is literally pointing into this direction.

[@fansoty5771]

I don't think it was Kindred's arrow. When it comes to their arrows, the lamb uses like a white line of energy, they don't have any feathers at the end. In my opinion it was just Ashe's arrow, that blended with the rain of arrows and transitioned into a snowflake that drops on Tryndamere's sword.

[@Jaybird9x]

My first thoughts were: maybe he gave up some of his memories to Ahri, since they both bonded during the Ruined King game, and she consumed some of his essence like she did with her former lover. That could explain the white hair and older face. Plus he has a LOT of memories I'm sure he would gladly give up to sate Ahri's never-ending hunger.

[@Smainchoker]

The idea that Tryndamere is fighting Kindred while in his undying rage and not his enemys is phenomenal

[@hinderburger3804]

he could still be actually fighting enemy and halucinating/mesmerized by kindred magic into seeing kindred

[@Michael-jj4ol]

​@@hinderburger3804still you can see the wolf claw mark in trynds shoulderpad when ashe arrives tho

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

yasuo accepted his death, tryn was going to fight death until his final breath

[@CrisHermetica]

@@hinderburger3804 Not really, is not an hallucination, since it's on the lore that every man sees Kindred in their final moments, and Undying Rage allow Trynda to fight even with 1 hp, so he's always close to die while using that ultimate, so it's not the first time he fight with Kindred. Also the marks on his shoulder pad are a sign that he was actually fighting Wolf there. I'm pretty sure Trynda know who Kindred really is, and prof of that is the dialog in game when he says that he already told him not today.

[@floringliga]

The cinematic is about the Past, Future and Present The Past, is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet The Future is of Yasuo, finghting one last time before accepting the arrow of the Lamb The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic"

[@thefinisher9025]

Also explains why Aatrox has two arms in armor instead of 1 because he hasn’t fought pantheon yet

[@TheSibiq]

​@@thefinisher9025 Nope, he has only 1 arm in armor in this cinematic.

[@NatalisEthune]

In my opinion the Morgana and Kayle fighting Aatrox is the moment when Morgana gave part of her powers as an aspect of justice, symbolized by her passing the sword th Kayle right before the fight is resolved

[@davidsamudio3899]

I don't think she was disgusted by it, it was more like "if I don't take the shot we all going to die" since it was also the heat of the battle

[@davidsamudio3899]

Morgana usually doesn't struggle to Hold creatures with her shackles but she was quickly overpowered by Aatrox, and I also believe that, while she can share her pain through her shackles, it goes both ways and Feeling Aatrox's pain is nothing short of suicide if she wasn't an aspect

[@lubue5795]

I think it was just plain disgust at the magic Morgana used. Kayle always disliked how Morgana bound herself to walk on the filthy earth.

[@Yaeza31]

It felt like she was disappointed in herself for being knocked down and having to be protected by Morgana

[@freshlymemed5680]

I don't think it was disappointment, it looked like she was conflicted about Morgana's actions because Morgana chooses to bind herself to the earth while Kayle fully embraces her divinity, the last shot really shows the juxtaposition there, Morgana is on the ground using her powers but in pain because of it, while Kayle is divine, flying, and does it all with ease. Oh, and I don't think Kayle likes the fact Morgana stabbed their mothers holy weapon into the ground, she basically threw it away and thus rejected her divinity.

[@lasserasmussen3125]

In the Yasuo part, in the end. You can see two orbs light up, having a wolf silhouette and a white arrow flies in front, being the main focus. Just like Tryndamere, he was facing death (Kindred) but unlike Tryndamere, all we see with Yasuo is the white arrow come flying towards him before it cuts to Trynda.. Leaving a cliffhanger of if he got hit or not, but its heavily implicated that he was.

[@anadaere6861]

Watching Necrit react like this is like watching a kid on Christmas, this cinematic was super cool.

[@freshlymemed5680]

The Tryndamere fight was perfect. Them presenting him fighting the soldiers as him fighting Kindred, how he's being attacked by both Wolf and Lamb showing that he's teetering between defying death and trying to escape (the souls Wolf takes) and accepting his own death (the souls Lamb takes). Yasuo fully accepting his death as shown by the white arrow and Wolf in the distance simply watching.

[@itsYAKU]

For confusion about old man Yasuo, look at the cinematic's description: "Past, present, and possible future" (paraphrasing right now). The past is Kayle and Morgana v Aatrox, the present is Tryndamere v Kindred, and the future is Yasuo, or at least one of his possible futures.

I believe that Kindred is a physical entity in the world of Runeterra now and no longer a legend/myth. Wolf bites Tryndamere's sholderpad and it leave a fat mark that stays when Ashe saves him. Also Kindreds fur is affected by the windforce form Ashe's arrows.

[@freshlymemed5680]

Iirc they themselves just represent how a person dies, Wolf might kill someone but in reality they probably got murdered by a soldier or a bandit and if Kindred shoots someone that's just them accepting death. Maybe Trynd does see them as he's on the brink of death but at the same time it could just be a cool way to present him fighting as him fighting death itself and how he's teetering between accepting his death and defying it.

[@Buckie77]

[@oggrim2824]

The injuries come from the warriors Tryn is fighting. The fight against Kindred is symbolic, not literal. Tryn was fighting the warriors the whole time, but he isn't aware of his surroundings, acting on pure rage and instinct. His body was fighting the warriors, but in his mind, in his soul, he was fighting Kindred. Ashe's arrows kill the two warriors that were about to kill Tryn, saving his life. That's why Kindred disappears. The sight of Ashe wakes Tryn up out his trance, brings his mind back from the brink and gives him a moment of reprieve. And together, they can survive the fight and hold out until help arrives. Kindred is a real, physical entity but Kindred is still Death. You don't actually fight Kindred physically, but in the spirit, in the mind. That's why Kindred looks at Tryn funny, with the head tilt. "Wait, can this man actually see me?" tl;dr - whenever Kindred attacks, it's one of the warriors attacking Tryndamere. All those attacks that didn't kill Wolf, was probably a warrior Tryndamere killed.

[@jordy5097]

The way I interpret it, since everyone only sees Kindred and the Wolf and the moment they are to die, Yasuo sees the eyes of the Wolf light up and he understands that death has come for him, so he closes his eyes and accepts the Lamb's arrow and embraces his death.

I think what Tryndamere fighting with Kindred means is that EVERY time he uses undying rage he has to simultaneously fight in the "real" world as well as against Kindred trying to claim his soul.

[@zenixvampirchik652]

Really good at showing how his ulti works too. Kindred almost claimed him (Lamb's final shot that she stopped) if not for Ashe - Trynd's rage wouldn't be enough to deny death any longer

[@jozokrstanovic9040]

I think it's more like spiritually he fights Kindred, but since Kindred is basically death, it flows with the moves of his enemies trying to kill him, so Trynda's moves in that spiritual world translate to him killing his enemies in the real one. We can also se how he "Deforms" the wolf multiple times probably resulting in him killing some of his attackers in the real world each time And that one swing that Lamb barely dodges, but his enemy probably didn't.

Based on Dotesports news said that the cinematic film is divided into three scenes, each set in different eras of Runeterra, The first scene features Aatrox, Morgana, and her sister Kayle battling in Demacia’s past, approximately 1,000 years before the present. The second scene unfolds in the Freljord, showcasing Kindred, Tryndamere, and, in the last few seconds, Ashe, who joins the Barbarian King “shortly after they became Oathsworn.” The final scene propels us into a potential future in Ionia, where Yasuo is forced to confront his destiny through a vision sent to him by Kindred, who represents the twin essences of death.

I loved all the small kindred hints throughout the cinematic. I think you can see her shadow in the flames after the Aatrox scene and then her arrow and wolf there as old Yasuo cuts down the last guy and he accepts his death.

[@BLODSWIPER]

8:35 - He is not going to be Old; he is going to be dead. He let Kindreds arrow hit him at the end of his scene.

[@peapod5629]

he was old in the scene, bro literally had white hair and beard

[@xXEGPXx]

@@peapod5629 I think they are referring to the fact that Necrit said he would be old in the MMO, but judging by this cinematic he will not be old, he will be dead

[@BLODSWIPER]

@@peapod5629 Context: Necrit hyphotized that Yasou will be old in the "future" of runeterra, aka in their "MMO" game that Necrit says they might be teasing. I believe that Yasou will be dead by that time, and not included in the MMO directly due to the white arrow coming at him at the end and him closing his eyes; as if accepting that his time alive is over.

[@nogamenolife9182]

@@BLODSWIPER I think you're right. Kindred takes the ones that accept death and the wolf chases the ones that run away from it. That last scene is definitely Yasuo accepting his death.

[@nailinthefashion]

He actually doesn't die, I shield him just in time. Daddy will never die

[@DakotaEarthHorn]

What if every time tryndamere is about to die, he sees kindred and goes into his undying rage and the rage is him vs kindred itself, only to snap out of it and back to reality once his enemies are defeated and the threat of dying is gone... 🤯

[@BunnyTheOverlord]

I think the theme was Past, Present and Future from the looks of it with Kindred looming through all of it.

[@TheSniperpal]

He couldn’t even tell that was future Yasuo lol

I really hope you mention in your breakdown tomorrow how the whole cinematic is about kindred, with her appearing during the aatrox part (in Kayle's fire), in Yasuo's part (the shining arrow and the woods) and trynda

[@perfectdoll4112]

@@Pongo-g7c its not. Its Yasuo, he has the scar on his nose from fighting Yone. Also a skin spotlight video came out about it. Somewhere in a bio it talks about a possible future where yasuo is consumed by guilt and it leads to this.

Now i want to hear a kindred quote everytime tryndamere uses Undying rage.

[@lilpointless7438]

I can't get over that yasuo bit where the boss orders the arrows and as soon as he saw the windwall the boss started running. like he recognized the style and just decided to bail.

[@maciejmierzejewski6607]

I think the best part is that both Lamb and Wolf were fighting Tryndamere. That shows the duality of his character, the honorable warrior who is prepared to die in battle( Lambs arrows ) and the darkin-induced rage filled side furiously clinging to life( target for Wolfs bite ).

[@serenoarts]

I could hear the two musical notes in my head playing right after the last thing you said before the video ends.

[@ivanlogoosdimitrijevic7666]

I think the theme of this cinematic is the fact that Kindred (death) comes for them all, in Morgana+Kayle part we see Kindreds shadow in flames, with Old Yasuo we see her Arrow taking him after what looks to be him accepting his death by closing his eyes and ofc Trynda fighting death with his ult, fighting wolf as he doesn't accept death and Kindred stops attacking when fate for him changes when Ashe saves him as Kindred lowers her bow even before Ashe's arrows come into the frame. That's at least one thing I've noticed.

[@KayonLeague]

im so used to seeing long ass explanations from necrit its really cool seeing a live reaction to the new material

[@zawardo5909]

Ok so first: this was an amazing animatic and song, so i am not hating on it, buuuutt what was poppy doing during aatrox's attack. Like she is pretty much the only other demacian champion that existed at that point ( with the exception of maybe gallio ) and she is supposed to be not just one of demacias founding fathers (beeing orlons second in command) but also THE HERO of demacia (not just a hero, but the hero) with hammer that can supposedly level mountains......we never got a story update after her rework (since 2016) and the only cool thing we ever saw her do is blitz through the enemies with her shield in that one ruinantion cinematic. I feel like riot wrote Poppy to be this really important character to the overhaul story of demacia, but then just droped her either because her skins dont sell or because they dont know what to do with her. To end on a positive note, kindred looked sick in this. Wolf actually looked big and threatening here unlike in-game.

[@leetri]

Poppy can't fly, so I doubt she could do much when Aatrox and the sisters were fighting in the air for the majority of the fight.

[@zawardo5909]

@@leetri its more of general "we never get to see her even in places we would ecpect to" kinda complaint

[@bannasella]

The trynd looks at ashe 🥺🥺 can't get over it!! 😩😩🫶🏻

[@Zandt-Productions]

The attention to detail is amazing in this one..! The cinematic starts with Kindred’s voiceline and you will see het appear in every fight as she is death herself. - 1:39 you can see her in the flames when Aatrox dies - 2:53 she shoots the final arrow killing yasuo while wolf watches from a distance - 3:08 Tryndamere has to fight death herself to stay alive. Thats why ashe never saw Kindred as you can only see her when you face death. Truly a masterpiece!

[@cudz2074]

Such a chilling and amazing moment seeing Kindred of anyone have a moment of true curiosity, at how Tryndamere was completely resisting death and refusing to go down. Easily one of my favorite League cinematics of all time

First time watching your video, i love how deep your knowledge of Runeterra is

[@Puralechat]

Oh my god I noticed Kindred is in all 3 segments, Lamb is in the Fire when Aatrox is burning from Kayle's flames, Wolf is in the trees when Yasuo is about to get hit by arrows, and then of course they both are here when Tryndamere is fighting death... Epic !

[@Crazieyboy15]

People keep saying Kindred is there for Aatrox, but Im not seeing it. Where is she exactly? 🤨

[@Puralechat]

@@Crazieyboy15 Pause at the transition between Aatrox and Yasuo segment, there is lamb outline in the flames

[@MrCoffeejingler]

From a lore pov its actually amazing if Tryn in undying rage every enemy he fights he sees as Kindred

[@arnauzer]

My problem with the Yasuo part is that it means his story is locked, and the story of Ionia too. It means Yasuo will not fail until that moment and that Ionia will be in flames at that moment in the lore. Which could mean no villain will ever achieve anything until then. Or it could mean Runeterra as a whole is on the brink of destruction and there's conflict/pillages etc.. everywhere.

[@loblocks222]

We don't know when this is - I personally like the theory that for whatever reason, this is in the near future and he had his life drained some by Ahri

[@fireemblemaddict128]

Some speculate it's Yasuo in the future.

[@SalimehRabih]

One thing to mention here, trynda was not just fighting kindred, the fight with wolf and lamb was actually the fight with the enemy soldier as when ashe come you can see all of them are dead

[@Em0ti0naljpg]

I cant wait for the explained video because I need the kindred part explained. Didnt the spirit blossom lore explain lamb shows to those who have accepted death and wolf to those who fight it? So why did she attack him? Im so confused.

[@Aranzen001]

I think is because lamb shot first, trynda refuse to accept death, so the wolf attack, lamb just stay away until trynda attack her, or maybe they be doing this for so many times that lamb know that wolf can get it alone

[@muhammadilyas8107]

No, i think when someone died, the lamb and the wolf will show up but the lamb will shot their peace arrow first, if the person refuse to get shot then wolf will going to hunting the person that's why at the start, the wolf doesn't intended to attack him. This might be wrong, but i think what happened to trynd could maybe just a reminder for him that kindred will always there or maybe even a hallucinations everytime he using undying rage, i mean why would kindred show up if they know that the person will not die anytime soon?
