Heimerdinger Sacrafices Himself to Send Ekko Jayce Back in Time Arcane S2 Episode 7 Ending

That's the silverlining in this episode, at least we know in one timeline, things go right for Piltover and Zaun. Wonder what happened to Singe tho, that guy is too unhinge to stop what he's doing for his daughter, he may even straight up immegrated to Noxus in this timeline.

[@maximumoverdrive2676]

Go back and rewatch the Stanwick scene. Heimer talks about how his old friend Stanwick realized his own contributions couldn’t compare to those of his students and sacrificed everything for them and the future. Heimer then ends up doing the same here

[@wafflingmean4477]

And for real this time. At the beginning of the show he thought he was making a difference just by overseeing the academy which technically was working to improve the world (but ultimately not being much use until Hex-Tech). Then he realises he went wrong with Jayce and Victor, so refuses to have the same hands off approach with Ekko and finally actually living up the ideal he had been trying to uphold for centuries.

If it makes you feel any better, Yordles can't actually die. They are magical 'spirits' that take a physical form in Runeterra. When their physical bodies are destroyed they return to their home dimension.

I feel like for him the amount of time from being reborn to this point is 'a wink'. But it's not really for Ekko. He will never see him again.

[@indigoaway6]

Depends if that happens in the main timeline or the alternate one though, since he never properly traveled through the anomaly he's technically still the alternate heimerdinger.

I don’t think he’s dead. There’s a chance Heimerdinger could show up in another spin-off show.

[@Aceroragua]

The yordles are immortal, surely respawned in bandle city.

[@Super-Skrull]

@@Aceroragua I'm fairly certain at this point that Arcane is set in an alternate universe. Yordles are immortal, yes, but they are also viewed with fear in places like Piltover & Zaun in the current lore of Runeterra, requiring glamour magics to operate there unperturbed, unlike the show, where we see several in their normal Yordle forms, all operating with impunity. Also, many other inconsistencies with the mainline universe, such as Warwick looking and acting differently (his fate is also sealed in the show, whereas he's still very much alive in current lore, as shown by the Ekko game that came out a short while back), Caitlyn being a pirate, and Ambessa being dead. Unless the mainline game makes some major, MAJOR changes to its lore, there is simply too much changed by Arcane to maintain the core of the characters and the status quo of the narrative.

@@Super-Skrull sadly this isn't an AU, riot confirmed Arcane to be the main canon of league in an old devblog

[@ThompsonAbi]

2:05 I realised thats the same track that was used when Jinx blew herself up on the bridge, that exact violin part can be heard when you see her lying there after the explosion The track is called "Old Friend" by Arcane and Kelci Hahn

So glad sownone agrees with me on this

[@truthseeker7815]

It felt like a whole different show

[@veritaspk]

When I watched Arcane I didn't register it... but the whole scene with Jayce is super epic... it gives me chills

[@Sirpecker0426]

The implication from Ekko. Is that heimerdinger also was in the body of the original from the alternate reality. Which means that heimer died the moment the future heimer embodied him. Since future heimer died before ever going back. So Heimer died twice... sad.

[@TheTwistedTreant526]

Heimerdinger is a Yordle. He died but respawned almost immediately in Bandle City

[@maxximusprime2970]

I'd say that AU Heimer or AU Ekko aren't "dead", just unconscious. So like, two souls are in the same body but the MU has full control while the AU soul is inactive. It's like how you can use either gas or electricity to power a hybrid car but never both at the same time.

[@peepspizza37]

It’s a shame Heimerdinger never gets brought up after this. There could’ve been a great scene between Ekko and Jayce talking about what happened in both the timelines and Heimerdinger’s sacrifice. 😭

[@jimmy3261]

Yeah. Heimerdinger was criminally glossed over after this.

[@username.exenotfound2943]

final ep just neeeded an extra 15-20 mins

[@Director_Oompaloompa]

Cause it was rushed

[@abhirm664]

In the final scene after the battle where people write (maybe) a name of the dead on a piece of paper then burn it, Ekko seems to write one separately as well. I assume it was Heimerdinger because Ekko is the only one who knows about Heimerdinger's 'death'.

[@Wildcat12]

Because he got sent back to Bandle City in the Spirit Realm and has to return through a portal, then make his way back to Piltover. That's not going to be a quick process, but with Hexgates and all being around now he'll probably manage it in a few weeks. Unfortunately that's a bit far after the end of the show.

[@IsaiahWayne2104]

OG Ekko saw AU Powder and wished he had that version of Powder. 😅

[@lilnewport4370]

It’s an AU where almost everything went right, can’t blame him

[@coatsman5471]

If anything, AU Powder just made him realise he loves Powder for who she is which is why he goes to talk to Jinx straight afterwards.

[@the_best_username]

I think he loves Powder and not Jinx. Powder is sweet, loving, and always tries to help others to the best of her ability. Jinx is violent & selfish. I think he saved Jinx to save the small peice of Powder buried deep within her.

[@Zoidberryable]

@@the_best_username My read on it is that Ekko realizes that Jinx is Powder, no matter how Jinx tries to deny that part of herself. There were instances during this season where she does help others while putting herself at risk (mostly w/ Isha but she does save Caitlyn against Rictus). She has the capacity to be that better person and that's how he gets through to her in the finale imo.

[@herticate8579]

@@the_best_username Jinx is just powder trying to become what she was told she was, a jinx. someone who ruins instead of helping, her need to help was struck by misfortune and caused the deaths of her friends and the abandonment of her sister. Jinx is just powder denying herself and accept the image others have made of her. its tragic yet artistic.

"Dang, so I got the lame one" - Jinx

[@gogetathestrongestfusion]

She's the reason the ekko became that way tho the ekko with powder was goated.

[@JohnSmith-bn5mi]

Since Ekko's body is there after the wild rune shows up, there are two things that could happen. A) Heimerdinger got sent spinning through the multiverse. B) He merged with that universe's Heimerdinger. C) [Unlikely] His existence got fully wiped by being split across multiple dimensions and he's now just... gone.

[@YawnWoofDog]

Hes a yordle, he respawned in bandle city :)

[@plebeiangaming5625]

This reminds me of that Avengers Endgame scene where Fat Thor returns to the past and Freya recognizes him saying how bad the future must have been to him. Maybe Powder also felt the same about Prime Ekko who appeared to have lived a tough life and fate.

Dying in physical form but his spirit will return to bandle tree and reincarnated again in Bandle city. Home of all Yordle kind. There are three way to kill Yordle for real. Drain them of their spiritual energies. (Demon usually known for draining other being energy) Completely destroyed their spirit (Void monsters have ability to destroy spirit completely) Destroy Bandle city and Bandle tree. (Mordekaiser and some Darkin attempt to do this once)

[@lordxkronoz]

Yall don’t get it. Heimer in the alternate reality is not the Heimer from the reality ekko comes from. Heimer is just a pure genius because when Ekko searched for people who are from his world he meets Heimer and Heimer just acting that he‘s been moved with him into this alternate reality ekko stucked in. Heimer just believed in Ekkos words and wanted to help him out to See if Ekko is right with all he said about his real world. You can see the proof in this scene were Heimer Said „Since I‘ve met you lad I‘ve truly lived..“ and the reaction from ekko.. he is concerned and realizing that Heimer is staying in his own World and his friend Heimer Never left his own reality.

Thats not why Heimerdinger sacrificed himself, he did it to split Ekko so that he'd get to live in the perfect world and return to the OG timeline, you see him notice the various items getting zapped out of existence, the time loop diagram with the 2 humans, that very obvious goodbye speech. Heimerdinger had worked out what Powder and Ekko had missed that to return that timelines Ekko needed a equivalent mass to be left behind so thats what he did and everyones missed it
