Yup. You can clearly see pain and fear in his eyes. He dont want that to happen. Maybe he even desperate to try to take control over the beast.

2:15 Isha’s expression when she pulls the trigger is so badass. She knows she’s about to die, but the joy of knowing that her friends will survive is far more potent than her fear of dying.

[@bubblegum8959]

I disagree I think her expression is to mask her fear. Isha's entire story is her trying to become jinx follow her be as strong as her and I think in this moment she's made a decision that she believes jinx would make blow herself and everyone else up, that expression before the smile is Isha and her fear of not wanting to die, while the smile and the the "gun" was her becoming Jinx. take the inspiration of Jinx, Harley quinn who was given the insanity because of Joker. I like to think her insanity is Jinx, and it's contagious. but I dont know that's how I see it

[@vroenn]

​@@bubblegum8959I think it could be a combination of both! I 100% see this scene as being a general manifestation of what Isha believes in - she always saw the best in Jinx even when she was "retired." She saw her as a revolutionary and a hero, and I think this is both her saving Jinx and her frienda as much as it is channeling what she learned from her... "you never know when it could all go....POW. Best feeling in the world, kid."

[@orputoto2176]

I haven't watched the show nor did I have a single idea about the lore. Still I stumbled across this scene and besides making me look into the characters and backstory/context of it, I keep on rewatching it. It's wonderfully made. Pure art. I didn't know who this Isha child was but she had me crying in 2 minutes. Her face looks lovely, beautiful character design. How she runs is painful- a bit funny, as a child that she is, but each step firmer than the one before. The fierceness of a child among chaos, where no child belongs, that deemed most valuable the life of someone else's than her own. The heartbreaking, terrifying realization in the eyes of the girl at 1:31, followed by the image she was seeing; the small frame of this babygirl, with a head that seems too big for her little body, running among the soldiers to save her life. The way she falls to the ground and grabs that gun, and when she stands up at 1:38 the fierceness in her eyes and that expression on her face suddendly isn't one of a child. From a moment to another, she goes from kid to adult. And from one moment to another, she is a child again, staring up to this scary monster; but finding comfort when meeting the eyes of her loved one. The expression of the monster at 2:11, as well, as if it was crying, terrified of hurting a child. Her eyes full of tears but goes with a smile and a heart full of love. I now know about Isha and Jinx, but the knowledge didn't add much to this scene. It communicated everything perfectly. I don't know what are the opinions of people who did watch this, but from the outside, this scene for me is memorable to say the least.

[@froggiepie]

STOPPPPP YOUR MAKING MY CRY

[@keerya4179]

Ambessa was wrong tho. It's not sacrifice, it's love. Love is what pushes you beyond your limits and allow you to make the biggest sacrifices. Vi was ready to sacrifice her freedom because of her love for her family. Vander sacrificed his humanity because of his love for Vi. Silco sacrificed the work of his life because of his love for Jinx. Singed sacrificed all ethics because of his love for his daughter. Ambessa, sacrificed a relationship with her children because of her love for Mel. Jayce sacrificed his ideals because of his love for Viktor. Isha sacrificed her life because of her love for Jinx. It's love that pushes one to face their fear and be stronger, sacrifice is just the consequence of going past your limits. And you can't make those necessary sacrifices to surpass your limits if you don't have someone worth the sacrifice, because love bypass the instinct of self preservation. Ambessa make sacrifices because ironically she romanticize it. But sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice only bring loss.

[@Nightflash28]

Yes, how? Because honestly I have no why people are so invested in Isha. She literally is dropped into the story out of nowhere, and we don't learn anything about her. Her relationship with Jinx is barely established to us viewers. When Isha rushes to save Jinx, she's like "get off me you annoying little thing". Next episode suddenly they're as close as sisters? And that"s about all that happens in terms of interaction with her (that and painting her hair blue). Seems like people are just all over her because she's small and cute? I mean, I see the hundreds / thousands of upvotes on people's post being emotional over this scene. Isha didn't do anything to me. Vander on the other hand, man. Vander, we knew. We knew hwo protective he was of the kids. We knew he only had their best interests in mind because he proved it over and over again. By words, by action, by sacrifice. And we witnessed it all. We spend enough time with Vander, Vi and Powder that we knew them well anough to care about them. And after all this: Vander's mind being imprisoned in this beast body, not being able to help himself from his bloodlust, now THAT is tragic. Random kid we barely knew blows herself up? Ok, I guess.

@@Nightflash28 geez, I guess you're not a fan of show not tell? We don't need more episodes of Isha establishing her importance in the show. Did you forget there was an implied time skip that happened months or even a year after Caitlyn became commander? That means Isha and Jinx have been together longer and the series shows us this through Jinx's dialogue and interaction. Is the fact that her death could mean another spiral for Jinx not tragic enough? How tragedy keeps following Jinx and yet Isha is a parallel to Powder, showing how upbringing could change fates? It's not even /just her death. Her face, her eyes, how the animators are so good at showing her little feeble mannerisms and emotions. The fear in her eyes but the strength in her steps. If you're not as empathetic as other people, you could just say so.

[@Nightflash28]

​@@ren8854 Oh geez, yeah, I guess I am just not such a big fan of the show, having watched the first season like 20 times, having waited anxiously for three years for this season to drop and having played LoL for years. And look, what you just wrote is pretty much what I stated above: Most of their relationship happens off-screen in a time gap, which we as an audience do not get to see an experience. We should care for Isha mostly because of how she looks (small, cute, innocent). And the tragedy is not really about Isha dying, it's about what it most likely will do to Jinx. But that was my point. Isha feels less like a fleshed out character that we got to understand and deeply care for than a plot device for Jinx to spiral. After 3 episodes, how much did we know about Powder and Vi compared to Isha and Jinx? And if you say, well that's not a fair comparison because there is so much more going on in season 2 and so many more threads to follow, well, than you caught up to the issue. We just did not have enough time with Isha to truly be invested in her. I still love the show, and I still think the story they're telling is amazing, but the writing is not as strong as it was in season 1 because it is spread too thin. I know they want to wrap it up, but with the speed they're moving, they could have given us more episodes or maybe even split it into three seasons.

[@rue483]

god. the parallels to powder's monkeybomb is INSANE. Isha's terror of watching her big sister in peril turns into "I can help them." at 1:45, and we get the heartwrenching montage of the two of them together, and her tears because SHE KNOWS she's going to die. she's walking towards her death with her eyes open and a smile on her face, with three of the hextech crystals (it's ALWAYS three!) and all for jinx. and jinx can only watch. GOD.

[@DNeoTH]

Godddd your right, that make it so much painful

[@MrJedcpf]

Yeah it a parallel and a inversion of powder trope, as @dlweiss commented in another video: Rather than impulsively deploying power she doesn’t understand, Isha knows exactly how the gun works, and she knows precisely what will happen when she overloads it and fires. And while Powder’s desire to help her family was tinged with a need to prove herself, Isha’s desire to help her new family just seems to be tinged with a desire to repay Jinx for all the kindness and good experiences she’s given (without ever asking for anything in return). That’s why Isha appears to be crying with joy while she does it: because she’s finally getting to say “thank you” to Jinx in a massive, meaningful way.

[@evilpenguin99999]

@@JickAudio Sorry guys she is for sure dead. Ekko going back in time will be probably be used to save some main character in the last arc. Sadly she has to die for the jinx plot and is a secondary character that served her purpose of making us feel like shit and cry appart of bringing back powder to completely destroy her mentally.

[@gryphonkingbros847]

​@@yardmsever3757The entire point of the scene is that we desperately want Isha not to die. If they just magically plot hole her back to life, then her sacrifice means nothing. This show is too good at meticulously pulling at our heart strings to not understand this. For the scene to remain powerful and meaningful, Isha has to stay dead.

[@DiegoHernanReyesPineyro]

i have never cried over animated series or movies but this scene man, its just not fair. :(

[@thatkeyboardgirlsha3442]

same man, not even Mufasa's death made me bawl like this

[@WhisperingPeace]

I wept like a baby for quite a while when I first watched this scene last week. I love Isha, and absolutely adore the special bond that Jinx and she shared. The sheer emotive power of this scene truly touched my soul. I am so heartbroken that Isha is gone, but she sacrificed herself out of love and noble intentions.

[@RealKinetics]

Isha is literally the GOAT character, really sad to see her go since she's the reason why Jinx is still alive.

Thank you for describing the scene without explicitly spoiling the elephant in the room, unlike so many other video uploaders. I was pissed I got spoiled about her death before finishing Act 2 because KZbin recommended me a video with that as the headline.

Man that sucks 😢

I was browsing youtube this morning and saw a couple of thumbnails before I was like, "ok, nope. I can't be on youtube anymore until I watch part 2. Not going to work."

[@thirdcoinedge]

I fully watched this moment blind. First time I ever physically yelled "NO!" at the TV from the sheer dread of realizing what was going to happen. First with Jayce, and then with Isha. It got me good.

[@FrizFroz]

@ Glad you got the unadulterated experience! I wish I could say the same.

[@shieldgenerator7]

1:17 i just noticed that jinx is making a pink line, and isha is making a blue line. i think this represents how jinx is now the older sister and isha is the younger sister, just like vi and jinx previously

[@stellamariefanboy.6768]

Oh true

[@lukelehmann4783]

aaauhh and she includes it in her hair style later to remeber isha

Jinx about to go full “My life’s a comedy, so might as well laugh” in Act 3. Oh boy.

[@MilesConner-to2qh]

1:19 in this scene Jinx is has a pink spray can and Isha has a blue spray can-think Jinx’s can indicates Jinx and blue powder obviously but it could mean that Isha’s blue spray can (powder) could be trying to catch up with the pink spray can (Jinx) and trying to surpass Jinx and become Powder again.

[@hielyr]

Jinx's eyes in the flashbacks sometimes turns to blue... also the song has this sentence "Blow away the dark clouds with that blue in my heart." 🥹

[@horizonpenblade1288]

Or it could be Jinx taking on the big sister role that vi (pink) had

@@horizonpenblade1288 Yes, it also came to my mind, Jinx is being the big sister that she never ''had'' on her childhood, the ironic thing is that a Powder 2 got pulled off.

The way Vi is struggling to even walk on her own until she sees Jinx is about to run into danger. Then suddenly she's got the strength to hold her back AND body-block her from the blast. GodDAMN I love this show.

[@Ji9st4Rr__r]

The look on jinxs face when isha loaded the second hexgem into the gun is so sad because jinx knows what’ll happen. Isha loaded three hexgems into the gun like how powder loaded three into her monkey bomb, this CANNOT be a coincidence

[@nameless.artist1513]

Oh my God I totally forgot that this was a flashback to season 1. That’s actually so sad because Jinx saw Powder in Isha and now she has to watch her make the same mistake she did, except this time she’s saving them. She can’t outrun her past :( oml
