[@Naugur]

How I waited for three years? Obsessively watching arcane reactions on youtube xD

[@Reactsandgames]

Haha nice! I can’t imagine waiting 3YEARS!! 4 months is long enough!! lol

[@Quabbe2]

Wait it came out a while ago, but three years already? Heaven please have mercy

[@yoanastancheva4920]

Thank you for your reaction, you lovely people c: you are one of the special ones who knew Silco would have never given up Jinx, I love the fact you noticed how much he loves her and how out of character it would have been if he did. I am very excited to see your reaction to s2 teaser trailer and eventually s2 itself! All the best

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate you so much for watching! Thank you!

[@ChristinaWintherLolk]

If you were wondering where the shield came from when Vi activated it, it was designed by Jayce and Viktor for the mining colony in the fissures, if a mine would collapse, the workers could shield themselves and avoid dying.

[@Lorrin81]

This is pure speculation with no basis in the show. Vi didn't intentionally activate the shield--you can see how surprised she is when it goes off. And what good will a 3-second shield do for those stuck in a collapsing mine shaft? I think the shield is a feature of the arcane, not a feature of the Atlas Gautlets. (If the shield were designed, Jayce and Viktor would have shown it to a safety-focused Heimerdinger in Ep. 4--they didn't.) Such an arcane shield is how, I think, Jayce will survive Jinx's rocket attack on the counsel--he'll be protected by an arcane shield sourced from the gem he wears on his cuff.

[@ChristinaWintherLolk]

​@@Lorrin81​Doesn't matter if it's speculation, Jayce said in episode 4 it was for the mining colony in the fissures and the way Vi lifts the gauntlet above her head, which indicates the gauntlet to activate the shield mechanic, it gets disabled once she removes her arm above her head, it's not 3 seconds, it is shown that it turns off when her arm is down. Thus the only logical explanation to this feature existing would be a fail safe mechanic if an incident would occur in a mine shaft. There are many things happening in the show that doesn't get explained, who's to say the shield mechanic was implemented from the beginning in the lab and not later on down the line.

[@itsgonnabeokay9341]

I know you guys probably heard it a lot of times, but you definitely should watch Bridging the rift. The process behind the making of Arcane is fascinating and very inspiring. A lot of people have even cried watching it. It really showcases what passion and determination can achieve.

[@Reactsandgames]

Can’t wait! Will definitely be checking it out!

[@Newborn_God]

Totally agree, the documentary is so well done and it gives you a whole new level of appreciation of the series Arcane.

[@BurnDem101]

You should also show us your reaction to the season 2 teaser!

[@Reactsandgames]

@@BurnDem101 it’s on the channel😃

[@BlackScisir]

Yeah I can confirm. I cried watching that.

[@johnquinn7794]

To squeeze the most out of Arcane before season 2 you must do Bridging the Rift. A docuseries almost as good as the show.

[@Reactsandgames]

Definitely will be watching!!❤️

[@ChristinaWintherLolk]

Mrs. Medarda was the only one who realized love was a weakness, that's why she secluded and exiled her daughter to not stand in her way or worse yet, die like her brother Kino. We found out at the end when Silco pours one out for Vander under the fountain statue, that's the moment he realized Vander was right, he knew why Vander became a pacifist and stopped fighting and pursuing his dream of the nation of Zaun, Silco saw himself in Vander, at the end he said "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter" Jinx undid what Silco became, just like Powder and Vi undid who Vander was on the bridge in episode 1. Silco couldn't give up what he loved the most, Jinx meant more to him at the end, he wouldn't give her up in return for peace and independance.

[@itsgonnabeokay9341]

And yet I feel like Ambessa will do the opposite in s2, and choose Mel at the end.

[@ChristinaWintherLolk]

@@itsgonnabeokay9341 We don't know, Mel might have died with the rest of the council.

[@chadbailey7038]

When you can get your audience teary eyed about a villains death, that’s when you know you’ve mastered storytelling. So glad you guys enjoyed it as much as we did. Imagine us having to wait for 2 years after this! 😅

[@Reactsandgames]

Honestly couldn’t imagine waiting that long! lol. 4 months is even too long! Although we have a lot of time to flesh out the League of Legends world!😃

[@aaronhedlund8136]

One of the reasons this show is so incredible is the fact that it respects the audience. It drops the hints, makes the references, and lets you find and interpret them instead of spelling everything out and saying “see? See what we did? Look at how we made this parallel or this reference!” It just does a beautiful, complex, and deep story and says - “enjoy this.” And from all the reactions I’ve seen (a LOT), people get most of them. And on a rewatch, they get more and more. More shows should take note and just focus on doing amazing work and simply letting it stand on its own. That being said - watch it again. Now that you’ve seen where it’s going, there are SOOOO many interesting things it does that you can find.

[@Reactsandgames]

100% planning a rewatch! I have skimmed a few scenes back (because they are awesome) and I agree, you do pick up a few more things on a 2nd watch!

[@luth7514]

The very last sentence "What could have been?" sums up the whole series so well.

[@Reactsandgames]

Absolutely!!

[@cassierogers9546]

Jinx said to make Cait go away, not die. So this either ment she didn't mean for Vi to kill her OR she doesnt see death as a bad thing, but more of a release(which i think is more possible considering the whole Jinx Ekko moment on the bridge) And a small sad detail: the weapon that was basically a bazooka was a actually a gift designed for Silco. When we first meet him hes in his weird hide out with odd sea creatures and talks about how he loves them. The weapon is a damn shark. I think that just goes to show how much Jinx truly did love him like a father😭

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s sad😢 and I totally forgot about the season creatures!! lol

[@DarthRayj]

Also, in-game she has names for both her rocket launcher and her minigun. The rocket launcher, which is what she created at the end with the shark face, she calls Fishbones in-game. Her minigun is called Pow-Pow, which if you remember, Vi calls her a couple of times as a nickname for Powder.

[@fullmetalb5241]

I love Silco being out in the same position that Vander was in and finally realizing why Vander was able to walk away or feel that the cost of who might be lost wasnt worth it.

[@ericsanford536]

I always find it funny how surprised people are by the shield in the bar fight. Jayce had one just like it that he used intentionally on the bridge in the last episode. If he designed his hammer to be both offensive and defensive it only stands to reason he would have similar features in other devices.

[@timhaldane7588]

Oh my god it's here. It's here. It's here.

[@Reactsandgames]

❤️

[@revendax2584]

I remember when I finished watching this series the first time, I was in tears and utterly stunned for about an hour. I was just processing everything that happened and the implications of it. I was just overwhelmed and speechless. Even though I have watched this series an ungodly number of times (like 25 times) I am always in tears watching this episode and I really appreciate watching first time reactors watch this and seeing their thoughts and conclusions. I know I don't have to say it but this show is just next level storytelling and as a long time league player it makes me just so happy how well the creators of the show did justice to the lore and the characters. Thanks for your reaction! I look forward to watching more of your reactions in general!

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate you watching with us. The show is so well written and we’re so lucky to have found this show 4 MONTHS before season 2 comes out!😃 I’m looking forward to a rewatch before the 2nd season!

[@Astro-Nithin]

"Powder shot Silco to protect Vi, and Jinx killed Powder to avenge Silco."

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s crazy!😢

[@ChristinaWintherLolk]

The hex core have become sentient and has a concious, it punished Viktor for trying to attack him, it took away his powers and made him sick and cripple again, that's why he uses the cane again now.

[@Reactsandgames]

Ahhhh!!! Thank you!😃😃

[@Hollowgleam]

Wonderful show, and something I never expected. I got into it thinking "eh, why not?" but it is one of the finest shows I have ever seen crafted. It's also such a breath of fresh air, soo many properties have been around soo long they are getting rebooted to death and back. Season 2 is only mere months away. See you all there.

[@Reactsandgames]

Can’t wait! We will be there! Thank you for checking us out❤️

[@MrDzoni955]

Imo the undercity deserved independence. Silco was generally right about fighting them and his deal with Jayce was good. But he did suck at running the place. He was a good leader for the revolution, but he was awful at being in charge of a the place and he ruined it even more. There was somebody that was good at that, but he killed him.

[@KerrRobinson]

I love when reactors like yourselves give yourselves over to the story. Just goes to show the power of great storytelling. I will be looking forward to the reactions to season 2.

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate you! Thanks for watching, means a lot to us! Can’t wait for S2!!

[@TheDrosul]

A couple things that stand out: 1. When they do the dinner plate reveal thing about making "Catelyn a snack"..... For a single frame it actually cuts to a picture of Catelyn as Jynx pulls the lid off (full picture of her in uniform) just to mess with you, subliminally. 2. Same scene, worth mentioning that Vi always calls Catelyn "Cupcake" and jinx actually makes a cupcake for her snack. Not sure that actually means anything, nor did Vi actually call Catelyn cupcake in Jynx's presence, but notable. 3. Saw this on another vid, can't remember if it's true or just a joke, but Vi is surprised by the shield effect, because that is supposedly the first time she actually blocks (Echo makes the joke that she still blocks with her face)

[@DarthRayj]

I feel like the cupcake detail can't be a coincidence, and it probably means that Jinx was following them around at some point and overheard them. It would make more sense for it to be before the bridge fight/explosion, maybe she picked up their trail when Cait, Vi, and Ekko were heading toward the bridge at some point. On the other hand, maybe after she got all shimmered, she followed them into Piltover proper and was just waiting til Vi left to go after Cait.

[@C.80]

You guys should react to the season 2 teaser! Loved going on this journey with you 💜

[@Reactsandgames]

It’s on the channel😉 thanks for watching with us!!

[@AIGRyknight5]

Watching both of your reactions to this show has been an absolute joy. You both seem like wonderful people and you interact with and bounce off of each other so well. It's lovely to see people come to love this show as much as I do. Thanks for posting your reactions. As others have said, watching the Bridging the Rift will help fill the space until season 2 comes out. It's an incredible documentary, and watching your reactions to that would be fantastic as well. Cheers.

[@Reactsandgames]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words! We will definitely be checking out the doc series!😃

[@GwenisImmune]

get hyped for season 2!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@Reactsandgames]

Consider us hyped!!

[@kjws95]

I highly suggest watching season cinematic’s from league of legends, absolutely incredible animation work! There’s one called ‘warriors’ which features a couple of characters you will recognise.

[@CapDuman]

Arcane is a masterpiece for sure. Whole universe of League of Legends is a masterpiece. Regions and stories in Arcane are so little compared to rest of the world. You should start to watching cinematics immediately

[@Reactsandgames]

Planning too😉👍🏻

[@Reactsandgames]

[@aranthur]

Silco: I still believe in loyalty Silco, five minutes later: EVERYONE BETRAYS US

[@Reactsandgames]

😂 oh yeah! Lol

[@overgroll]

amazing reaction, ill add one last note because it really showed how amazing this writing is... the shield, that ended the fight between Vi and Sevika seemed totally random to me (yeah, its something from the game, so it was randomly put in), so i thought... then someone explained it to me. The gauntlets were created for mining. biggest danger when mining are stones falling down on the worker. so far so good, here comes the writing: vi is bad at blocking, she always focus on attacking (ekko: you block with your face, vander: your guard needs work,...). then vander gives his speech to vi, right before the fight continues. tells her to guard. Sevika jumps at Vi FROM ABOVE like falling stones and vi goes into a guard stance. thats how the shield activated. blew my mind then, still does now. also: Vander became a monster to protect Vi, Silco became a human to protect Jinx.

[@Reactsandgames]

❤️

[@ClarkiCarey]

Another really great reaction! S1 was Jinx origin story. We’ll see more of Vi’s trauma in S2. Please do a reaction to the S2 teaser trailer! You’re so lucky you only have to wait 4 months till S2. Look forward to that reaction!

[@Reactsandgames]

Looking forward to it! Trailer is on the channel😃

[@mindslaver8658]

I suggest you to react to the making of Arcane " Bridging the Rift " its fantastic and probably the season 2 trailer.

Thanks you both!🥰 I'm quite happy you finally reached the end of the season of this awesome show, but I'm also pretty sad because it's the last episode (for now).

You guys should watch (and for me, selfishly, react) the first teaser released shortly after season one, the teaser after that which was a few months ago, and the latest trader, a few weeks ago. Also would love your reactions to their yearly cinematics 😊

[@swiftrespite]

When Jinx shoots the rocket, you can see her tears are shimmer, because her blood is partly shimmer now. So she's crying tears of blood for all the things the topside did to her and her parents.

[@Reactsandgames]

😢

[@pausesmana5531]

12:01 --> Vi's Shield with her gauntlet --> It's a worker gauntlet... when a part of a building colaps and fall on a worker, the worker will have this reflex... and the gauntlet knows he has to put a shield. (And it's also a passif ability in the game for Vi) Now you can watch some cinematic like : League of Legends Warriors 💕 League of Legends Awaken League of Legends Still Here League of Legends Kin of the Stained Blade | Spirit Blossom 💕 --> My 4 best cinematics. After that there is many other if you want ^^

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s amazing! And a very handy tool to have! I will have to check those out! Do we need to do a bit of background before watching? Literally know nothing apart from watching Arcane😂!

[@ECGxX12]

8:50 well, I think Jayce at that point hasn't seen Jinx, so I couldn't make a connection between her and Vi; but if he had seen her I doubt that he would still have thought that she was her sister, Vi has red hair and Jinx Blue xDD

[@jefferymojo3761]

Take comfort in only having to wait until November for season 2 while the rest of us have been waiting 2yrs. The first season took 6yrs to make after it was announced.

[@Reactsandgames]

That’s insane! 6 years!!? Wow. I am glad it’s only a small wait for us lol

[@kervala]

Amazing reactions for the whole series

[@Reactsandgames]

Thank you so much! It’s on the channel😉

[@chrishw44]

Peace never would have happened because Silco would not have given up Jinx :(

[@kervala]

Yep :) And Jinx didn't even know they were voting for peace :D

[@itsgonnabeokay9341]

Even then, Piltover would have tried a peaceful approach anyway. Now, it's not only impossible, but it also achieved the completely opposite of what was supposed to happen.

[@bjornareriksen]

Ironically, my reason for thinking Mel isn't dead is Ambessa's line "You're council is dead". I'm surprised by how many decided to take this line litterally. The way I see it, the council recieved such a devastating blow by Jinx that for all practical purposes, it is now dead. Meaning, it's remaining members are either too few to form a "legitimate council", or they're currently too severly wounded to cary out their duties. In any case, the way Ambessa phrases her line is one of the reasons I think Mel is still alive. She doesn't state, "My daughter is dead", but instead she focuses on the council and its collapse as the governing entity in Piltover. And who is she talking to when refering to "Your council"? To me, this sounds like something she would say to either Mel, or Jayce, or both. The other reason I think Mell is alive, is her tone of voice. It is not that of a warrior and a mother having experienced a devastating and personal loss. Remember the vulnerability she exposed in the last episode of season 1 when she told Mel "You weakened me!" Mel's death would impact her severly, no matter how hardened she is as a warrior. Instead it sounds much more like she's finally found a justification to further her goal towards securing hextech weaponry, which she states as her main intent in season 1. Hence the line "Wrath must be met with wrath", meaning she can now invade Piltover/Zaun to claim hextech on the moral grounds that she's doing what's necessary to protect the city. That's why I belive Mel's still alive :)

[@Reactsandgames]

I agree! I don’t think she’s dead! No way. I wonder how she survived!?!

[@bjornareriksen]

​@@Reactsandgames Me too!! There's been some speculation regarding her gold "armor", and the way it seems to brighten the moment before Jinx's rocket hits. It also seems like Mel is somehow able to sense the approaching danger in the way she turns her head towards it. Hopefully this means she has some kind of protection we're not yet aware of🤞😊 I'm so curious to find out!

[@DXDragon38]

The ending scene is absolutely a work of art! What could have been, indeed!

[@Reactsandgames]

100%. The show is FULL of beautiful set pieces!

@Reactsandgames their's a therapist that reacts to each which is very interesting... and remix by raven... everyone had same reaction to the abrupt ending... four months til next season, not bad..

[@cmcgccjsl]

Powder/Jinx is a monster of her own making. Ekko told it like it was two episodes ago. She's unstable, and that affects her perception. But her violence is because she's angry and wants to hurt people like she's been hurt. She's just a killer like any of the others that worked for Silco. As a brilliant man once said about the killers he prosecuted, "They're all broken in some way.", as in they all have a sad story to tell.

[@Reactsandgames]

I can see your point. I don’t know about her own making though. Personally I do think she was moulded into this from being so young when she lost Vi and Vander and was taking on by Silco. That environment would have been totally toxic and I’ve seen great kids in real life completely turned into absolute MONSTERS because of the environment they are surrounded by. Young minds are easily shaped.

[@cmcgccjsl]

@@Reactsandgames I mean she got there with every choice she made. Ekko with similar trauma made different choices. She built herself into Jinx with each choice including staying with Silco over going with Ekko "the boy savior". She has trauma for sure, and it causes certain instinctive responses. But she chooses the action consistently that allows her to spread her pain around, until she's made herself the type of person that could start a war, because she's angry at the world. That rocket was about hurting as many people as she could. That's why she hears Silco's voice saying "We'll show them.", just before pulling the trigger. Great character, and we see how she gets there. But she's basically a more unhinged version of Silco at this point. If she survives, we'll see if Mal does something similar and turns to her mother. If so she and Caitlyn might unite in burning the under city to the ground.

[@raverdeath100]

having discovered Arcane for myself only six weeks ago, it's been a pleasure watching a contemporary reaction series, if only to see whether Arcane is still giving other people an emotional kicking like it did me. you didn't disappoint. all i can say is that at least we don't have to wait 3 years for more. as a side note - i haven't really seen anyone pick up on a whisper during the tea party. just before Jinx pulls her gun on Caitlyn during the stand off, she hears a voice in her head saying "it's time to leave them", coupled with the fact that Jinx *didn't* open fire leads me to think that red eye Jinx had already made up her mind to go her own way. she just wanted to know whether Vi or Silco would accept her for what she is now (Caitlyn was a prop essentially). i really don't think she was going to harm any of them. as it turned out it all went pear shaped anyway when Vi inadvertently screwed her mind up and red eye Jinx shot the source of the firing pin sound. what a series huh? thanks again for sharing the ride.

[@Reactsandgames]

Appreciate you watching! So lucky we don’t have to wait so long to see the next season! This season was an emotional rollercoaster!

[@Dreamm_17]

It's so sad to think that they could have been happy if Silco hadn't kidnapped Vander... Jinx and Vi, you have my heart.

[@Reactsandgames]

I know😢

[@Fangtorn]

For me, Jayce negotiating with Silco was one of the most shocking things in this show. It just didn't occur to me as a possibility. Every time a character suggested a peaceful solution I was like "yeah, just kill Silco and find a peaceful solution, obviously." Then when they revealed peace might mean giving Silco what he wants I was shook. What if the price of peace is letting Silco get away with everything he's done? The thing is, his demands aren't even that unreasonable, it's just his methods are so extreme. But if he gets what he wants, doesn't that justify his methods? Also, Sevika is low key one of my favourite characters. I think she exemplifies the quality of the writing of this show. She's a secondary character, the number two of the villain and that's all she needed to be, but they gave even her depth and dimensions. Sevika is a true believer in the cause of Zaun. She betrayed Vander because she didn't believe he could lead the Undercity, and she stayed loyal to Silco because she believed he was the better leader, especially over a "worm" like Finn who only saw the Undercity as an "enterprise." Also, I think Mel's mum is the "bigger fish" that Finn mentioned. She knows a lot about what's going on in the Undercity, and it makes sense that if she wants the war to unfold she would remove Silco and essentially replace him with someone like Finn, who's more interested in money than revolution.

[@Reactsandgames]

Nice theory about Mel’s mum. We couldn’t believe the meeting scene at first glance. In the full clip we thought they had been working together at first😂😂
