I will be surprised if it is LeBlanc. Actually, I wonder if it might be post-explosion Mel. She hasn't been hinted at in any trailer yet, unlike Jayce and Viktor. So this may be Fortiche doing it now before the show drops. People who have seen leaks, if I'm wrong keep it to yourself. I don't want to know till the actual show.

[@zacharyvangrack5424]

I honestly don't think LeBlanc had anything to do with season 1. From a writing standpoint, it would make Silco much less interesting because he would have much less agency (and Silco is a fan favorite for his complexity). I'm almost positive that this is LeBlanc taking on the appearance of Silco to manipulate Jinx and her trauma. Noxus wants weapons. Ambessa wants to get it from Piltover but we see that at some point she ends up against them. Noxus will definitely turn to Zaun to get the weapons they want, and LeBlanc stepping in to get to Jinx feels like a good fit.

[@astrea4020]

I don’t believe it’s meant to be Silco. If you look at the hair, it’s very similar to Mel’s attendant Elora. The background is also seemingly the throne room from Mel’s childhood when Ambessa took her along for an invasion. More than likely, the black rose will come in in relation to Ambessa, and as a result go after Mel too.

[@malles285]

@@astrea4020 I'm also torn as to if the shadowy image is meant to be Silco, simply because his key defining trait is missing: the malformed eye. If someone wanted to take the appearance of Silco to manipulate someone (probably Jinx), then I would think copying the red eye would be a requirement. But that silhouette REALLY looks like him. Another possibility is that we are seeing the transformation in reverse...that is, someone is midway in dropping the Silco illusion (and thus the red eye disappears).

[@The-Qwertyuiop123]

Yes plus jinx can't have killed Mel, we see her giving a speech but getting knocked out by someone, probably sevika, in the storyboards from btr. It could also be caitlyn but i remember it looking like mel

[@Aaniel_al.Meara.]

Ye people that are obsessed with LB need to chill out, because including her in Arcane could ruin all. It's first riots show and they plan to do more, with including LB so early everything in new shows will come to "was Leblanc there","Maybe she was that character?" "Maybe she's behind all of that?" Character like Leblanc is very good and interesting, but not in show's like that, it works fine in lore but it wont work in tv show.

[@yauma1098]

I am pretty sure they are somewhat retconing Viktor, at least visually. So that him improving humanity is not just by upgrading with pure metal contraptions but with the voidy orb similar to him in arcane 1. Its still mostly metal but more organic and thats what we might be seen on the part of the cult kinda ascending into gold light. I think is Riot keeping the same story but turning down the steampunk aesthetic and dialing up the organic metal one. Who knows maybe this is an early stage ov Viktor and after a horrible failure he decided to go back to just pure metal, as he used to and thats what we see in league.

[@emmanuel8582]

Agreed. I think heimerdinger understands mortality plenty after seeing the war and all that. Just cuz he is immortal doesn't mean he doesn't understand it. I think his actions in s1 are more like he doesn't understand why people feel a thirst for change and new things. It could be his immortality/war but he is averse/wary of change.

[@Crabgar]

What i am kind of bummed about is all the Piltover & Zaun characters missing. I get that the story is focused on Jinx and Vi with the other champs as secondary stories and that they can only fit so many, but there are SO many champs missing. A lot of them haven't been "created" yet like Blitzcrank or Mundo or just aren't important like Twitch, but Renata, Camille, Zeri and all the others that currently exist in the world likely won't get their stories explored and we probably won't get back to Piltover & Zaun for them. I hope they are at least referenced in some way, like Zeri being seen using her lightning to fight the Enforcers in the background somewhere or Glasc Industries logo on buildings.

[@nickgrayer4592]

@@Crabgar I doubt Renata will ever be shown beyond an easter egg, since she's the League world canonical replacement to getting the leader of SilCo (the couldn't put him in League, so they made Renata). Since Arcane is now the main-base of cannon, Renata is among the least cannon characters now. While Kled gets to be a legend, she'll likely be nothing.

31:53 we see same start of Arcane season 1. We have girl who looks like Jinx, and caitlyn as a enforcer, also in trailer there is text "every ending is a new beginning" that possibly means how everything happens again, just this time between Jinx who leads Zaun, and Vi who leads Piltover. This is also confirmed in Arcane seasone 1 where Caitlyn said "The cycle of violence will never stop". This is confirmed also by the fact that Vendor and Silco were like brothers, same as Jinx and Vi, and now they are fighting each other. Vi is like Vendor who wants peace, and Jinx is like Silco who is fighting to get his nation of Zaun.

[@frankie.m08x51]

I got a feeling that the "gold void" thingy is related to viktor and the shows version of the "glorious evolution". I could just be going crazy, but the patterns in those people's feet is similar to the design and patterns that viktor got on his body, arm and leg when experimented with the hexcore, and I have seen people say that in the first teaser they see viktor (as the caped/cloaked) character surrounded by people and then magic goes off. Maybe viktor and the hexcore evolved? and somehow its affecting people around them making them look like that oh... you mentioned it in the video lmao, but adding to what you said about "making a completely different character" remember that riot is making a new ingame character redesign after arcane 2 launches/finishes and they are not saying for who it is. Meaning that maybe it could be for viktor, giving him an arcane-like design. I remember when they said they wanted to make everything canon, maybe their first step is making the show canon by changing viktor from the machine herald to the.... uhh... void tech herald??? i dont know lmao

[@EpicFroggz]

I think so too, I don’t think anyone else in the Arcane cast deserves an in-game redesign more than Viktor. This whole void hexgate thing has gotta be his cult, and Jayce stands against it like he does in the game lore. I’m excited!!!

[@michaelwoller6450]

I’m pretty sure it was confirmed the VGU is for Viktor. So I think that means they are definitely retconning him to be closer to whatever he is in Arcane, at least in some way. He’ll probably still get his laser because that tech was showed off in season 1

[@gabrielphilippe2026]

Victor is the rift herald confirmed

[@Pommedeterre1]

I have a thought that I would like to share: when Ambessa Medarda first showed up in the series, she told Mel that her brother had died. Apparently Mel’s brother had pissed off somebody off, and that that man not only believed that the score wasn’t settled but also had resources that exceeded the Medarda clan’s. That was the reason why Ambessa was even in Piltover, to gain access to the hextech weaponry and help them fight this man. Now at the time, I had absolutely no clue who this man is, but after seeing this trailer I think there is a possibility that the man Mel’s brother pissed off is Jarvan. That is why he is teased and he is pretty much the only male character shown that has the power to face off against a group as powerful as the Medarda clan. Of course the enemy might also be leblanc using deception or Ryze, both of which have the power to beat Medarda, but I think it is more likely to be Jarvan. Just my two cents :) Edit: I have been reading over some of the comments on this comment, and I think it is very plausible for Swain to be an option, because when Mel had her first lesson with her mother, Ambessa said (this is a direct quote) “Your brother fancies himself a fox among the wolves.” (Arcane Episode 8) and tbh the Demacians don’t strike me as wolves.That honor goes to the Noxians. It is possible Mel’s brother tried to play the fox in front of Swain and pissed him off. But again, this and my original comment are just theories, we will have to see what the writers cooked up.

[@jeffkoenig7402]

I like this. I mean, during season 1 everyone just assumed it was Swain coming after the Medardas, but J4 would be a much more interesting option.

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

I actually like this theory more than Necrit's. Typically I love his theories, as they are often accurate (or close enough to accurate), but this one just makes so much more sense to me. Demacia has a pretty strong army, and it wouldn't make sense for Ambessa to be scared of anyone else. My bets are on Demacia. Thank you for your input!

I don't think that's Viktor in Jayce's clothes. I think that may just be Jayce holding Viktor's cane. I highly doubt they would kill off Jayce, knowing that this is supposed to be canon. If Jayce dies in Arcane, that sets a whole new precedent for League of Legends (unlike TFT, which had Silco, but TFT is not canon lore). It seems much more plausible that the gem fused to Jayce's wrist, and for whatever reason he is either injured (thus requiring a cane), or he is holding Viktor's cane (considering Viktor is disabled and dying anyway).

[@fenrirsilver6441]

I actually like the idea that Le Blanc could be involved, especially if Jinx somehow covers up what happened around that table between her, Silco, Vi, and Caitlyn. Because, if they are the only ones aware of Silco dying, and she wants to get Piltover/Zaun for herself, Le Blanc posing as Silco would be something devestating. This could also be why it seems like there is a frame where Piltover and Zaun are fighting together against Noxus(because we have Noxus soliders squaring up against Piltover Enforcers, and it seems Ekko and Vi are swooping in with Jinx's colors), it would also explain Jarvin's involvement if that ends up being a thing. Having both Noxus and Demacia using Piltover and Zaun as a sort of Proxy War could be quite fitting too. Edit: This would actually be very themeatic too now that I think of it, with Vander as Warwick being a twisted version of what he once was, and Le Blanc using Silco's likeness for her own means. Both from the old legacy being unearthed from their graves in incomplete forms, one through science and the other through magic. The parallels between them increasing further, and it would make even more sense as Jinx is not being shown to be taking Silco's mantle but Vander's, it would make sense if the populous thinks Silco is still alive, and Jinx is against Leblanc's Silco. Edit2: I am seeing more and more potential with this idea of a Noxus vs Demacia Proxy War for season 2, as this would open up so many more stories, especially since based on the trailer this is will a "new beginning" likely to introduce the next story. I want to stop thinking about this, because it actually seems too plausible, but I guess if I guessed right then I can be satisfied.

It would be funny if Chuck was Leblanc all along. That's why Jinx teased him with name other than Thieram. I mean Chuck was the primary reason how Jinx able to know the come back of Vi. After the tea party with her sister and after her mental breakdown, she then proceed to nuke the council to kill Mel. All part of Leblanc's plan.

Viktor is the Arcane. He will be the Arcane user of his time, and those people are those accepting to join the glorious evolution. I'm sure Arcane will write new lore that will be updated with Viktor's visual rework. Jayce could be either death and the catalyst for Viktor embracing completely his new power and purpose as he was his only human connection aside from the girl from season 1 that is gone *and Singed, but he doesn't have much of a relationship with him or Jayce survives and we will get to see how they end up walking different paths.

[@michaelwoller6450]

I have a feeling they’re retconning in game Viktor decently hard. It would make more sense to make a new version of Viktor to fit arcane rather than force arcane Viktor into the old character imo

@@michaelwoller6450 and it will if you watch Necrit you will see that if they choose to do the glorious evolution de este the trailer is, it is not the same as the game. In game, Viktor is now mechanical, in Arcane, it seems his body parts are a mix of void and arcane magic.

[@calebsaenger3344]

It's a long shot, but based off of Necrit's speculation of LeBlanc being involved, the 'Paint the Town Blue' song mentions going rogue like "thorns on a rose". Could be nothing, or it could be Jinx going rogue against the Black Rose's machinations, or hinting at the influence of the Black Rose in all of Arcane.

[@cheaptrick_8]

I think that the fishbone exploding is related to the arcane going wild because the explosion is like a nacred rainbow. My guess would be that the hexcore reaches the hexgate tower and a chain reaction occurs

[@crazy_apepperoni5222]

The gold people have a similar look to viktor's infected/enhanced arm and legs. They're just gold instead of a dark purple. Maybe that's the GLORIOUS EVOLUTION he's always rambling about in game. Although it'd be cool if it was maybe a Secret void being we don't know about yet

[@Caitkiraa]

Only thing, in my opinion the vi- timeline will be different. I think she will be in caitlyns enforcer squad act1, vi vs jinx fight doesnt go well, then its her emo arc in act 2, where she gets the cut over the tattoo, symbolising her loosing of identitiy. Then i think the last outfit we see her in will be act 3 because the black hair dye is fading and and the outfit feels like her version of an enforcer outfit compared to the first.

[@BunnyTheOverlord]

For the Red Warwick thing he does that in his first cinematic when he smells blood. Also in some parts where you said it was before rebel Vi if you look closer her hair has the faded black dye so it'd be after.

[@KingCraze22]

​@@fightme4136It's more likely to be Swain I'd say

[@synarchy8377]

One thing I think you should of mentioned when talking about the followers of jinx is how in the new song they references them directly so I feel we will definitely see them, also for WW and all the red not just his eyes, is most likely for what his W is in game, the blood trail he is following that eventually leads to VI

[@blindsaint07]

This orange-red coat looks like Hoskel or Salo's. Probably they just survived the blast, and Ambessa is telling fellow councillors whats what.

[@moldwood]

sorry if someone commented this one already, but 28:33 "i am pretty sure this is around the time vi is gonna go rebel mode" - if i'm following your train of thought throughout this, this would have to be after, since it looks like there is black washing out of her hair already. i loved seeing everything else though! never would have noticed the fortiche in the fence at the jinx mural

tbf, Skyen's analysis is 2 hours because he pauses on the first frame of EVERY new scene to spend 10 minutes speculating on what we're about to see instead of just letting it play and analyzing it afterwards TBS (except saying this in MUCH more depth for several minutes): "Here we have Sevika who is probably teamed up with Jinx because she knows the people will rally around her " *finally hits play* Sevika in the trailer, immediately: "the people will rally around you"

[@derakel5076]

Necrit, love the video but I wanted to point out something that you didn't cover. When the Hex-Gate 'glitching' was happening in the trailer, it flashes in the colors of each of Viktor's Hex Core Upgrades before he got reworked. Edit: You need to check that scene frame by frame.

[@wendellaraujo7203]

[@elorzabeth]

8:36 If this is true, I'm also pretty sure the whole "Sevika is Renata Glasc" theory I saw may also be confirmed in the upcoming season. Renata and Sevika also have arm prosthetics which matches up well.. I'm not sure how they would do it though given her new hairstyle and all 😅 But I am really excited!!

[@jackhilton4285]

Wow

[@michaelwoller6450]

It’s sevika’s left arm that’s robo and Renata’s right arm tho. But that probably doesn’t mean much. It would be weird that this big buff women would be related to a helpless support character, but maybe something happens. Edit: actually some art has Renata’s left arm be the robot arm tho the “official art” has it in her right, so it’s inconsistent at least

[@69quato]

Chapeau once again good Sir! I really like that interpretation since it points to an absolutely awesome follow up story to Arcane (Noxus/LeBlanc)

[@JeyDiMacato]

Im straight up theorizing that the globe in 25:28 is ori’s ball, its kind of far off the story and design(?) but seeing the animation of it, it kind of looks like ori’s ult. Just my take tho

[@edwinfuller2304]

My guess; The odd image in question is, LeBlanc escaping from the Council Chamber during explosion of Jinx's, Fishbone rocket. Transforming afterward to hide within Zaun as Silco. LeBlanc had been impersonating a member and secretly meeting with and aiding Senge. Meanwhile, watching other developments in Piltover, such as Hextech development. All of which is reported back to her people in Noxus. This is how Imbesa found out about it and made her way there. LeBlanc is who Imbesa is talking to when mentioning marshal law in Piltover/Zaun. Vi, arena fighting era is happening in Noxus. She's undercover, finding info about Noxus' plans for Piltover and all the tech coming out of the region. My guess, she was working with Katelynn in this capacity. The beast being assumed as Warrich, is not. It is a Noxian pre-version; thus red instead of green.

[@QuangMinh-kd1bn]

[@cloudyskies1720]

37:43 - 37:53 it’s the same scene, jinx is thrown in the same way, & vi is holding her arm above her to block, you can even see fishbones breaking, which leads to a teaser of jinx running away with some kinda of weapon which looks like a destroyed fishbones or it could be zappy.

[@aranthur]

Idk I think the moment with Caitlyn at 4:12 is kind of the opposite of what you said. I think this is a reference to that first scene, with this being the red aftermath of another attack by the undercity on topside, but this time it's on Piltover's grounds, not Zaun's. It's Piltover's civilians who are suffering and dying. The Enforcers in this moment are saving lives, not taking them. And seeing this scene from her childhood but flipped around backwards may be the moment Vi chooses to join Cait and try to take down Jinx, in order to stop the violence from escalating even further into an all out war

[@mattwoodard2535]

I think you hit the nail on the head. sm

[@aranthur]

@@mattwoodard2535 The only topsiders Vi has met so far have been enforcers and council members. I think this could be a moment where the average person in Piltover becomes suddenly humanized for Vi and eventually lead to a parallel of the council scene from episode 8. Only this time it'll be Vi trying to prevent attacks on topside and saying "there are good people up there," just like Cait did about the undercity

[@我让它发生]

I just want to point out how smart Arcane's designs are , you can tell the Noxian building apart from the rest in a glance . It's such efficient storytelling .

[@我让它发生]

Also speaking of design . There is a lot of confusion around the gold corruption. It could still be void stuff , but because purple is already associated with shimmer , they could be leaning more into the gold ?

Chances are Jinx and Vi are gonna be in the best terms they've been since they were kids by the time the show ends, and that gives me hope. Do you guys remember that adorable scene in LoR when Jinx brings Vi her plush bear, and then Vi calls her Powder she doesn't freak out? I hope they land somewhere close to that by the end.

[@maeriri_]

....based on the game thats highly unlikely lmao

[@euanlockie337]

Ryze holding the world and then the void core could represent the hexgate being corrupted, as the hexgate literally has a globe of runeterra on it and then turns into a voidy thing, or maybe its even more and the hexgate being corrupted is another metaphor for how the world will be

[@cloudeddx2504]

my theory about "you were right cait, my sister is dead" is that theyre acc two different scenes. i think that "you were right cait" goes to when vi decides to join the enforcers, and "my sister is dead" is when jinx shots fishbones once again in the janna temple and it goes wrong during their fight. thats when i think jinx loses a finger too. lets just say vi thinks jinx died in that explosion. what do yall think? and quick update cuz i just thought of it. what if vi goes in those pits to fight because shes got no reason to stay as an inforcer anymore, since her sister is "dead", perhaps thats her own way of coping with the loss

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

I swear people are so quick to forget what happened in Arcane already. Caitlyn said to Vi at the end of Arcane, "Your sister is gone!" in reference to Powder no longer existing; she was already Jinx by this point. I'm almost 100% certain Vi saw the aftermath of what happened to the counselors, had her emo arc, and then came back to Caitlyn seeking justice for what Jinx did.

[@mattwoodard2535]

I suspect that the reason Jinx has the mechanical finger is the explosion. sm

[@ExcelJustExcel]

I had a Theory the first moment I saw Silco in Act 1. I don't really care if I'm wrong, but if this is Shaco, all the evidence I have will go full circle: 1. Voice Actor voiced a version of Joker before. 2. Silco's silhouette outlines a human Shaco. 3. Shaco has no canon origin, at least not yet. 4. In some versions of his lore, he is said to be a demon. 5. Shaco's design seems to be linked to Leblanc's demon. And what do you know, both use Deception and Illusions. 6. What is Shaco's Passive again? Backstab? What did Silco do to Vander on the bridge? It was definitely a Critical hit too! 7. Jinx was designed to be a character like Harley Quinn but unfortunately, Shaco, who was designed to be a character like the Joker, did not originate in Piltover or Zaun... While Jinx's storyline and lore has been recreated and changed so many times, Shaco's was kept untouched (This could be the reason why). 8. We already have references to Robin (Ekko Boy W--- I mean Savior, but that is a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaach), Mr. Freeze being filled in by Singed where instead of trying to revive his wife, he is trying to find a way to save his daughter. Bane hinted at by the Dr. Mundo-like mutations we saw in Arcane 1, And Vander becoming Warwick referencing the start of his transformation as he fell from a bridge into an area filled with chemicals mutating him into something else (Which is the origin of Joker, this time reversed), a Wolf-man instead of a Bat-man instilling fear as the Hound of the Underworld instead of the Gotham Knight (Also sending his enemies to the coffin instead of the ER). We have Marcus as Jim Gordon with the upstart Caitlyn as his Protege, a stand-in for Renee Montoya paired with Vi, a stand-in for Barbara Gordon/Batgirl... Or should I say Wolf-girl (Taking up Vander's Mantle like Barbara, in a way, idolizing her mentor). We have Viktor as a stand-in for Two-face (REACH), Heimerdinger as a stand-in for Toy-man (REAAAAAAAAAAAACH), and then we have Jayce, the wannabe Nightwing who never got to be trained by Batman (HELLUVA REAAAAAAAAAAACH). I agree a lot of these are too reaching but having so many of these makes it sound less crazy, doesn't it? 9. I tried to post this theory on a Facebook group which had Rioters in it days after Act 1 of Arcane got released and my post was not approved. (Source: Unfortunately, you just gotta trust me bro :D).

[@nicho.7400]

13:20 my theory is that she's gonna burn down the place where it all happened. Silco's death and caitlyn's kidnapping and Vi's decision. or otherwise burn the building of Silco's office. Start anew and whatnot, forget the sorrows of yesterday

What if that's how the fight between her and Vi ended? She tried to fire fishbone at Vi but it exploded and she lost a finger.

20:37 weird idea but what if the scene in the cave isnt in a cave but in a extra space that was created from the power of the void. That pulled the Hexgate and everything closely surounding it (this would explain the crashed airship) into an extra zone that was like a bridge between the void and the real world.

[@TheVirumXD]

What if Silco becomes Shaco?

[@NS_10]

Something that I haven't seen anyone analyzing the trailer mention is the figure that looks like Jayce in the rotating "organic" orb scene at roughly 1:30-1:34 of the trailer. I slowed it to x0.25 speed to find it. He's a bit hidden but I could see him in a fighting stance and his councilor suit gold shoulder pads
