So based on dotesports news said that The 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.

The best part is kindred appearing everywhere, in every segment you can either see wolf or lamb ready to do their job, imposing upon those close to death For once kindred is depicted correctly, not some physical threat like aatrox, kindred is a collector of the dead, come to take you, not to physically take you, but what you will see as you die (except for tryn cause of his dumbass undying)

I like how this cinematic implies time does in fact pass, which is ludicrous to make it a thing of praise, but so many live service games, and specially those that have a story, seem to freeze in a single year of their universe, all the stories told being the background and past that leads to this moment in time, but never go forward from there, this cinematic not only shows that, yeah, Yasuo will age, but also, yeah, Yasuo will die.

The past Kayle and Morgana fighting Aatrox The present Trynda fighting too many wintersclaw and is on the brink of death while he's ulting, that's why he sees kindred. He's dancing with death. Ashe arrives and helps trynda securing his fate to survive, That's why kindred disappeared as Ashe arrows hit the last two enemies The future Yasuo coming back to Ionia and defending his land

[@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 ).

[@ApexGale]

People should take note that Tryndamere isn't actually "fighting" Wolf. It's meant to be a manifestation of two potential outcomes for him in that fight - to give up, accept his death and be overrun by the Winter's Claw (Kindred takes him with an arrow) or to fight against his death until his dying breath (Wolf mauls him to death). When Kindred notes that Ashe is coming, she lowers her bow because it's not his time to die just yet.

[@thanasisathan9090]

i think trynda fighting kindred is the manifestation of him fighting the other guys but he sees it as kindred coming to take deliver death. Ashe coming litteraly saves him from dying and as kindred doesnt kill just collects, they no longer have any buisness there and lowers their bow. In reality from a third perspective i think trynda would just be fighting the guys ashe shot.

[@mcwiwi5915]

​@@thanasisathan9090But there was no archer where kindred was standing, when she disappeared there wasn't any enemies in her spot. Also Tryndamere broke her bow, if it was an actual enemy archer, did he summon a new bow just like kindred did?

[@Helldragon789]

​@mcwiwi5915 when he broke her bow he could've just been killing a dude. They're not meant to be a 1 for 1 representation of enemies especially when Kindred is meant to represent accepting death not fighting against it

[@prageon6035]

[@sammywong2074]

Also, something I noticed. Kindred is present everytime someone dies or is about to die. Like when aatrox gets hit by kayle, you can see lamb's silhouette in the fire at the end, when yasuo is about to get hit by possibly lamb's arrow, you can see wolf's eyes in the forest and obviously trynda fighting kindred off till ashe arrives.

That is definitely Yasuo. His future growing old and only fighting when necessary. He definitely accepted his time in that moment. The future is his. He lived his life, and now it ends. From his reckless fighting in the war, his struggle to find purpose in the present, and defending the innocent in the future.

@@worminaround He was heroic in saving that village tho. See it like this. Live by the blade, die by the blade. Not exactly accurate, but if you lived your life in battle, a battle is an appropriate end for a warrior. And seeing as he was struck by Lamb's arrow, Yasuo found his peace with death.

[@rayseodium]

My head canon for Trndamere vs. Kindred For an outsider it just looks like Tryndamere is slaughtering the winters claw. But for Tryndamere himself he sees Kindred as he is supposed to die in this moment, but just does not because of his undying rage. Like when Wolf jumps him it is just a bandit raider jumping him and when he blocks one of Lambs arrows he is actually blocking a raiders arrow. Like, he was supposed to die and that is why Kindred appears. Lamb also does not understand why he does not die. He buys time with Undying Rage until his moment at death's door passes, when Ashe arrives.

[@worminaround]

I absolutely LOVE the new Ashe design and I’m praying they use that for her eventual ASU. It reminds me of Applecork redesigning her on TB Skyen’s video. I like his design a lot!

The moment before you see the two arrows from Ashe, you see Lamb lower her bow, and then the switch from Kindred back to reality of him just fighting the two men along with his face softening up makes the music blow up even harder and made me tear up a bit.

I know it was memed as hell on stream but can we take a second to just appreciate how Tryndamere instantly calms down and his features soften once he recognizes Ashe has come to his aid?

Trynda also does the same pose of the icon of his passive (i believe?) when he deflects kindred's arrow pretty neat

[@bapob]

[@bijaru0019]

Could it be that Kindred lowered her arrow because she knew he was about to be saved? Because he was seemingly about to get killed by the two people behind him. Maybe the moment before Death stretches out, depending on if you fight Death or not? And he just fought long enough for Ashe to save him. Either that or she was intrigued by his will to live.

[@boxtupos7718]

Former likely, his fate changed when Ashe saved. He was suppose to die from that 1vX he was fighting; But he held off long enough for Ashe to jump in and save him.

Okay, this is just a random theory,.. but what if Yasuo got back with Ahri and Ahri sucked part of his soul aging him up a lot. Or he just old and we know he'll live quite long. He survives his Noxus arc and returns to Ionia. There over the years he gets more in touch with the spirit of the continent (the vines and generally more simple rooted design). I also like how from the looks of it he doesn't kill anyone. His blade is always surrounded by wind, but everyone just falls. Maybe it's so it's safe for YT, maybe he doesn't kill anymore.

Okay I just saw something I don't think anyone else did yet. At 0012 in this video not the actual one, the ground looks so much different than in 0300. In fact, 0300 looks A LOT like Kindred's ulti with the group kind of glowing. It's the same glow as on lamb's bow when she recreates it and the same glow in her arrows. Tryn was in Lamb's Respite.

btw i noticed that in the end of yasuos scene when it shows a forest smth i dont remember im pretty sure we can see yones eyes and kinda the mask or im just delusional

[@amandaelmer5533]

I need a full hour long video essay about that /one/ look Kayle gave Morg. Y'all know which one

[@mikhaeldruzian4497]

I love how on Yasuo's last seconds we can see the silhouette of Wolf from the forest, as well as Lamb's white arrow

[@Stealthclaw]

I swear you can see the silhouette of kindred after Kayle ascends/blasts that fire wall!! Maybe its my brain doing things tho lol

[@kampfh7150]

A very minor detail, so small but significant for Tryndamere's character imo, is that after the scuffle with Kindred, Wolf leaves marks on his shoulderpad, which, i believe, is represented in game

[@darg5332]

i like the factk that Wolf and lamp atack trynda, like if even if he's fighting he kinda acepts that he's dying

[@dravince]

That Trynd vs Kindred fight is what Trynd see whenever he ults

[@oendj]

I love how curious Kindred is of Tryn when he is using his ult

[@A4Foot1Giant]

Wow. I'm early. Was looking forward to this

[@Sheepy-pw9jn]

I came watching the cinematic man the kindred apparition is so cool

[@bigpj7359]

Its Yasuo, his Flute theme plays when his face showed up

10:14 "See Wife, Calm Down, No Die" Funny af

[@reyh_riz9654]

I remembered riot reacting to someone tweets "can we have a champion thats already dead" The response was "be carefull what u wish for" So my theory is : 1. either the master soma will be a new champion (Cause 4 horsewomen of toplane getting old and riot came out with idea "how about making a three musketeers of midlane (yasuo, yone, and soma)" Or yasuo accepting his fate and died (because lamb does the finishing blow to him and wolf just watched, the complete opposite of tryn)

[@reyh_riz9654]

The reason why he could probably master soma is because yasuo do not have bandages on his left hand, plus the bandages is clearly the most important thing about the character. Wind literally came out of his left hand when he use his power

[@reyh_riz9654]

Or just maybe, using wind power over a long time consumes yasuo bit by bit, making his hand permanently wounded

[@pek145]

I really like how Yasuo accepts his death. He was willing to fight for Ionia wen he wasn't ready, and later in the future when he is more than ready he will be willing to die for it as well.

[@nlgarmdevil4411]

Tryndamere backhanding Lamb's arrow away and LITTERALLY SCREAMING in the face of death is the most gigachad man mode moment ever. It immediately made me want to go to the gym xD lol The Call moment of Pantheon rocking up to the Solari gate, putting his spear down and saying to the guards "it smells like bitch in here" is still my favorite cinematic LoL moment though lol

[@rwg6357]

when Tryn sees Ashe... all i can think of is the quote " Its So easy to find something worth dying for my friend... Do you have anything... anyone worth living for?"

[@spudkin564]

You know it's a great piece of art when it has people hyped for Tryndamere of all people

[@rinco1532]

Man, I'm so used to blue eyed samurai that i thought yasuo was going to be slashing arms and heads out

[@zachnightingale8156]

Tryndamere's pose when he deflects Kindreds arrow is the same as his level 2 art from LOR
