It’d be god damn wild if she meant “I won’t promise that” because it means the scenario was basically “Promise me you won’t change” Caitlyn leans in, delicately caressing her face and softly whispering, “I’m not gonna promise that you dumb bitch” And then they made out

[@dimithri1403]

100% agree with the fact that Vi stopped Caitlyn from shooting because she wanted to protect her sister, sure the child getting in between definitely helped too, but it was more about Vi protecting Jinx than Vi protecting the child and i think Caitlyn knew that too, cause like it was said in the video, if Vi was actually committed to killing Jinx, then she could have moved the child, i mean she could have at least tried to do something. Vi knew Cait had the shot, i mean Cait literally shot the gun out of the kids hand. So both of them sort of betrayed each others feelings. Vi told Caitlyn to "take the shot". Even if Vi hadn't realized it herself, i think Vi was never ready to kill her sister when the time actually came, same way how Jinx couldn't shoot Vi either and it makes sense i mean, they are sisters at the end of the day, its not going to be easy to go through with it. But Caitlyn's actions are understandable too. Her mother just died and her hatred and anger is still so fresh and she now has all these responsibilities that it must be overwhelming, and the person she loves gave her the trust and confidence to kill her mother's killer but didn't do it at the end and Caitlyn understands that Vi and her cannot ever have the same goal, as in how Cait wants to avenger her mother and how Vi wants to protect everyone she loves(including Jinx). This point is what makes Cait so frustrated at the end. This is what i love about the story telling in Arcane, no one is really wrong or right. It's a messed up situation for everyone and everyone's feelings are valid at the end of the day.

[@Hel-o7u]

yeah I think so tooo....everybody says its because of the child that Jinx tried to protect her...saying "get off of my" she did it cause she didnt want a little girl get hurt and Vi saw Powder again in Jinxs eyes probably the minute she said " Im glad its you, had to be you" ...thats totally understandable...doesnt matter how crazy your sister is...she is still the ONLY family Vi has left and I believe that parts of Powder will show up again in Jinx ...at least it seems to be going that way

[@ausiidnd]

@@Hel-o7u It doesn't have anything to do with Vi "not being ready to kill her sister" or whatever, she was absolutely ready to kill her no matter how sad Jinx looked. If you rewatch that moment, she was winding up a punch to kill Jinx before Isha got in the way. The real reason that Isha made Vi hesitate is simply that Isha reminded her of herself. A tough, scared kid willing to fight and die to protect her. It snaps Vi out of the situation and back into her old feelings towards Powder, and that's enough to make her reclaim her agency and try to stop Caitlyn.

We know Viktor is the secret VGU so he’s going to be the most important one for sure.

It just reinforces that vi was frozen in time and she didn't get to "grow up" and change like the other characters

[@melodycomett1796]

Something I was particularly interested in was how cait would handle the whole Jinx situation and honestly it just seems like she could have finished the job if she shot jinx first. At one point Vi already had Jinx under control and Cait had a chance to shoot Jinx but instead lowered her gun, she only raised it again once the little girl was in the picture. I might be overthinking that but this shows to me how Cait’s great empathy is not there because she doesn’t think about how hard it is to Vi. I really don’t dare to say that she wants Vi to proof herself or something like that because that’s just another level of insane and honestly I really want her to go back to her kind self again, there’s still hope for me

[@Rumx1412]

I don’t think it’s that deep. You need to understand that both Cait and Vi were in combat mindset in that moment. Or at least Cait was. She checks on Vi and sees that she has the situation under control so she lowers her gun. It’s something that police officers would do in real life too. You hold the target at gun point until you know your partner got this. When Isha got between them and aimed a gun at Vi. Caitlyn’s natural reflex was to go instantly into offense again

[@mateoalmandos2131]

​@@Rumx1412Agreed. And when Vi goes away from Jinx she goes again to have Jinx at gun point since she might escape (like I said other times, Cait is without a doubt a great shot so there wouldn't trully be a risk of hurting Isha imo)

@@Rumx1412 you are right it’s probably not that deep It’s just that when that sequence began I knew Vi would not be capable of killing Jinx just like Echo and I was hoping that it would happen differently, like a situation in which Cait is the one going against Jinx.

[@SoySauce9]

@@melodycomett1796 Vi still has feelings for Jinx no matter how much she tries to hide it from Cait.

[@mariaantonia-op8qc]

I think something people are overlooking as well is that Cait didn't go down to necessarily KILL Jinx, at least that's why I think she said to Vi "if I go after your sister ALONE, one of us comes back in a box", because she knew her want to kill Jinx as vengeance for her mother would be too strong to control, one of them would end up dead no matter what, but if Vi was with her and managed to find an way to bring Jinx to justice without killing then Cait wouldn't get in the way of that, as long as they didn't let Jinx escape she was fine with it. I think Vi's plea for her not to change did indeed affect Cait, when the fight is about to start Vi told her to take the shot cause they couldn't risk Jinx escaping, but after that failed first shot we actually see Cait deliberately choosing options that wouldn't kill Jinx... If she found the perfect shot on her middle finger she could have shot her head, after that shot Jinx stays still for quite a bit, but Cait doesn't shoot a second time and after Jinx was unarmed and pinned down she actually lowered the weapon. She saw Vi had the situation under control and trusted her... And then because of that Jinx escaped again. I'm glad she did, but from Cait's perspective both times she hesitated because of Vi it fucked everything up.

[@J1ntu]

2:30 yes she did hit those shots but in this case, she also had the multiple hiccups with the hextech, thanks to Jayce and we know she wasn't close to 100% since she was barely able to walk a straight line

[@destaenys]

I think she missed 2 shots in sequence. The first that took Jinx's finger could have been a headshot and the second that hit Vi she readjusted the aim at Jinx.

[@simjustsim]

i think cait hitting vi was also because caitlyn didnt want vi to forgive her. she wanted to do something that was unforgivable because she knew she could let her guard down at some point. and if that point came she didnt want vi to forgive her and take her back. i dont know if i explained it correctly but hope you get my point

[@Unworshipediety]

The trouble with the shot wasn't that it might have missed. It was that the shot would have hit its target and not have stopped, going out of one head into another head mostly likely due to the power of the hex rifle. There's no question that Caitlyn would have hit the target but that bullet being hex-powered just could have likely have drilled right into that kids head as well. But hey, good video!

[@chickensalad3535]

I really don’t think that Caitlyn is dehumanizing the entirety of the under-city. She referred to the people who attacked the memorial as animals, not all Zaunites as a whole. Obviously Caitlyn is largely in the wrong here but I think that characterizing her as entirely hateful and prejudiced is doing the nuances of her character a disservice and unnecessarily demonizes her.

Thank you for putting some of the thousands of mixed thoughts and feelings I have about it all into this video. I wanna END myself bcuz I loved them, I literally have them ON MY BED WALL(a drawing of the bed scene). And what hurts the most is because the break up makes COMPLETE sense, they betrayed each other, Caitlyn changed too much, and being with VI who wasn't able to go through with her word and move on from the idea she had of her sister, was impossible to Cait. Cait changed, she was already changed when VI asked her not to, and I'm sure VI already knew that, but refused to believe, and with that request she was trying to prevent Cait from changing even more, trying to somehow rewind, make her go back to how she was bcuz of the request. But Cait was already too far gone, she's broken, and she chose to believe that VI was able to go through with this with her, even tho I think she probably also knew VI wouldn't be able to do it, I think they both expected their kind of betrayals but didn't want to accept it. I understand both of their sides and their motives and that's what hurts the most, I can't hate anyone, I can just cry and jump out of the window because they r too well written- And now after Vi, jinx and vander reunite I just feel bad, bcuz I don't want it to be broken, but also, they got their family back but Jinx destroyed Cait's entire life, and now VI is kinda on Jinx's side so it's even worse I just......

[@Luc42]

There are several parallels between Caitlyn and Jinx. They're both gun users, but Jinx is more instinctual while Caitlyn is methodical. Both were highly compassionate before a change and now live with an "us or them" mentality. For Caitlyn it seems more "Piltover vs Zaun" and for Jinx (at least at the moment) it's "me vs everyone else." I also don't think the parallel between Vi leaving Powder and Caitlyn leaving Vi is coincidental either. And I know, people are pointing out that Vi never really meant to leave Powder and was just taking a time out when Marcus (damn you Marcus) arrested her but Powder didn't know that. I'm hoping that this will help Vi empathize with Jinx. Because the deaths of Vander, Mylo, and Claggor definitely accelerated Powder's deteriorating mental state. But Vi also leaving was kind of the last straw. It's very clear that they still hold some deep level of affection for each other, as they both have an opportunity to kill each other and just don't. The nine-year-old Powder that Vi has idealized all these years is most definitely gone, but some part of her sister still lives in Jinx. "I thought you could love me like you used to, even though I'm.... different." -Jinx to Vi

She's a damn third-rate character, she poses a direct threat and she goes out 1 on 1 to fight and nothing. there's no reason not to do it.

[@peaceandloveusa6656]

I will point out that, yes, Vi did hesitate once she had Jinx down, but just before the child jumps on top of Jinx, Vi *did* recover and pull back for the swing. Jinx would have been dead if not for the child intervening, and it would have been Vi that done it. At that point, Vi's hesitation was more not wanting to traumatize another kid by killing someone the child seems to love in front of the kid (repeating the trauma she and Powder experienced too many times already), and not wanting Caitlyn to become the enforcer that killed Vi's parents in front of her to the child. On top of that, if Vi removed the child so Caitlyn could take the shot, Vi would *also* be the enforcer that killed her parents in front of her by extension. So, yeah, I don't think it was really about protecting her sister. It was about protecting everyone else.

[@salusreipublicae]

One more thing. For Cait it is not just personal. She probably already found out (and told Vi) that the council was about to vote for peace the moment Jinxed jinxed it. So all the shit that happened after, the warmongering Ambessa etc., even from zaunite perspective, is entirely Jinx fault. Still, expecting Vi to do the right thing was unspeakably cruel. The entire arc was brilliant.

Ngl i agree 100% I was the biggest caitvi shipper before season 2. But yeah i don't seem them recovering from this, and i honesty don't want them too. The way vi dropped her gauntlets when cait kissed her showing just how much she trusted and felt safe around her. The way she openly approached her despite her threatening aura to calm her down. Only to be struck by her in the same place as that she had helped her heal, when they were first learning to trust each other. Caityn was her first gentle touch after years of being abused in prison only to become the same as the rest of them(lowkey a tad bit worse since she'sa whole fascists dictator now). That's why i find it quite ironic that Cait says things to Vi like: "I thought you were on our side." &"I keep telling myself you're different but you're just like her, you have her blood in your veins." She says this because she believes it'll cut the deepest, which it does, but i believe it does for more than 1 reason. Not only because her savior is literally dehumanizing her in ways she doesn't even fully get, but because it reflects exactly what Vi thinks of Cait. Vi was willing to betray her very own people because she trusted that what cait was doing was for the better good of all of them including Zaun. She believed Jinx needed to be taken to prevent things from escalating to a full blown war. But Cait no longer had any intentions of helping Zaun. She saw them as feilthy animals, that stoop so low as to attack a memorial. For that needed to eradicated. So Vi in real time was learning that her beloved was not on her side. Instead that she is no different from her mother. Using her position of power to further oppress her people. So yeah imma need Vi to never where that damn uniform again. I know she's a cop in LoL but idc.

Exactly. All of that!

They’ve gotten back together it seems and I’m ecstatic. Your characterization of Caitlyn is not accurate.

[@riverbanzachamploo9725]

@@chickensalad3535 I wasn't really trying to characterize caitlyn at all tbh. I was just trying to focus on Vi's pov and why this was such a devastating blow for her. I wasn't tryna make caityn out to be the big bad wolf, just how scary she looked to vi in the moment of heartbreak. I'm glad their back together too. Even tho I couldn't foresee it.

[@hosh._1i]

Trigger warning!! I am forever a Vi supporter and defender, and I know that Cait has been through a lot loosing her mother by her "gf's" sister she was able to kill to pervert the loss but it wouldn't be right. I can't hate Caitlyn, but start feeling less and less sympathetic for her- honestly. Just if you compare Vi and caitlyn's situation, Vi lost her family, her parents, her adoptive father and brothers (+ and sister, at least atp), not having any memory of them, not a picture, maybe claggor's googles- it. Also, Vander, the kids and her biological parent's were just laying somewhere, not even have any memorial grave or anything, all while Caitlyn's mother left caitlyn the key, gets a coffin that costs more than Vi ever had in her life and honored by the entire city. Vi is eaten up with guilt and becomes something that was the reason her real parents died, she's been trough so much more and since caitlyn was the only person she had and loosing her by just simply protecting a child (caitlyn missed her shot like 2 times wtf) is actually painful.

[@chickensalad3535]

Caitlyn was the victim of multiple terrorist attacks, kidnapped by the firelights, kidnapped AGAIN while naked, had a gun held to her head and was knocked out, had her mother killed, survived another terrorist attack at her mother’s memorial, and inherited the role of leading her nation in the midst of civil war. I am also an eternal Vi supporter but I think that it is ridiculous to undermine Caitlyn’s suffering. Also, both Vi and Jinx have acted made mistakes because of their trauma.

[@astridtrisorio4894]

As a queer person it bothers that a potential amazing relationship has been cut down without even exploring all the nuances. Quite sad to see them break up, i don´t believe they´ll be together, in fact i sense that it´ll be even worse.

As another queer person I don't mind the fact that they break up. We don't have enough complex relationships that break off for other reasons than homophobia

Good vid and liked your points. Except cait and the strike team only attacked the chembarons(3 objectives) and their hideouts not all of zaun and they didn’t hurt or attack innocent civilians. Also when she says animals I don’t think she is referring to all zaunites she’s meant the chembarons.

[@yessicabhutani2750]

she did hurt people due to the poison in the air. if you think about it they did not know if the place they flooded with poison had innocents in it or not.

Agreed

[@TheSilentLamb7]

Saying Caitlyn considers everyone in Zaun as animals is an wild exageration.

[@mateoalmandos2131]

Adding the fact that she trully went against her own mother for the condition the people of Zaun were in once she knew the truth. Sure she might going to hate more of them in the future but I don't think she would trully go and exterminate every single citizen even if she could

But at the end Cait changed again. She no longer carries that anger and hate within herself. (SPOILER) We even see her smile, when she realizes that Jinx survived. I think she just needed time to process what happened to her mother. She probably made jinx out to be some sort of monster in her mind, but when she saw that jinx has changed and is remorseful, her hatred subsided.

[@Desertfox201]

I mean that's her sister that she once loved and protected, there's always a chance she won't be able to do it yet Caitlyn insisted that Vi join her. It makes for a good story but doesn't make much sense.

[@norr7283]

they were cute together but Vi can do so much better :(

[@StarDreamsStudios]

Firstly Caitlyn could have 100% missed the shot. Even if Vi took the child off of jinx during the struggle to pull the child off Cait probably would have kept shooting, which is proven by the fact she kept trying to shoot jinx even when Vi was standing right infront of her, and might have killed the child. If Vi had managed to get the child off that child could have 100% escaped out of her grasp and leap at Jinx and got shot or Jinx probably would have just moved out of the way cause something tells me Cait isn’t the one she wanted killing her. Jinx isn’t just going to lie there and die unless she wants to or she physically can’t fight back. Either way Caitlyn would have more then likely missed and the fact Jinx’s finger got shot off proves that.

(Plus personal bias Caitlyn does not deserve Vi AT ALL)

[@Cholomander-eq6cr]

Can anyone agree with me that, that one scene where we see Kaitlyn and Maggie is just stupid bc I feel like it was just there because of some diversity not saying that I don’t like the lesbian stuff I don’t care if it’s in there the stuff with Kaitlyn and vi is great story. The scene with Maggie and Kaitlyn just didn’t have any meaning besides diversity but that was just my opinion on the episode the rest of the show is good

[@evalyne1105]

it does have meaning. its a parallel to both vi and caitlyn coping from losing someone they love vi goes to the pits, gain money, spend it all on alcohol caitlyn goes with maddie to cope with her loneliness

[@JavelinAngel1295]

I could care less about their stupid break up and Vi's croc tears. I cared way more with Jinx sobbing when she was running in that alleyway after what she saw in the arcade she was repairing. Vi is nothing more than the Mordecai from Regular Show in this show. More than willing to be complicit in gassing her own people and killing her own sister just to get laid.

Vi has a huge problem expecting other people to stay the same. she spent 7 years in a cell and she can't get used to the fact, that. everything changed. in prison you have a routine: wake up, breakfast, working, lunch, working, dinner, sleep. almost every day was the same for her and she can't get rid of jail habits and style of life. and we'll see her recreating a jail life when she is in her pitfight era, bc she does not have a clue how to live a normal life without self destroying 🥲
