Imo, Jinx survived and chose to leave the source of her cycle of trauma. There's too much evidence, the streak of her shimmer flash just before Warwick(Vander) is blown up. During Caitlin's inspection of the Hexgates ventilation she smirks and in the midst of narration 'Our story is not over' the remnants of the monkey grenade is highlighted. In front of the fire she's conflicted when asking Vi if she's still in the fight, since she doesn't know whether or not it's best to inform her of what she knows. And there's influential scenes with Jinx where she listens even after stating they're too late. To Silco, while in the cell: 'I think the cycle only ends when one finds the will to walk away.' The known and unknown conversations between her and Ekko. 'No matter what happened in the past it's never too late to build something new.... Sometimes to make a leap forward you have to leave a few things behind.' Solidified with the final shot, being of a blimp Jinx imagined one day flying away on from the very beginning.

i think something really important about the viktor multiverse thing is that each crystal he gave jayve had a different rune, and therefore a different function. and in episode 7, ekko said something about using a reversal of the rune jayce had to make his time travel machine, which when i watched i took as the one in his bracelet, so its like... as you said, if this timeline is the only one where viktor fails in the end, its because he gave jayce the time rune and ekko used it to create something entirely unprecedented. thats how i took that anyways

Most likely. Right before the explosion, you can see a pink streak, like when Jinx moves at Shimmer Speed. Cait is examining the Hexgate blueprints and sees air ducts from where Jinx was "killed" and the ship that sails away at the end is the same one that Powder said she'd ride on in the first episode of Season 1.

they gave us enough hints Jinx is alive based on Cait's looking at the exit tunnels draft and smiling as well as the airship in the end. I also personally believe Viktor and Jayce are together in some magic realm. Idk about Heimerdinger - his race is supposed to be almost immortal but they still can be killed so not sure. so we lost a few important characters which is good since the stakes were high but they didn't delve too hard into tragedy. I expected Black rose/Mel's plotline to not be finished since I think we're going to see more in the show about Noxus/Demacia. every new show will have new main characters from that region but we may see some cameo of old characters. my personal favorite plotline was Viktor and Jayce's one. the cosmic kind of bond in all the universes which became so essential on such a scale. their last scenes were just pure art.

Ekko using every second to save everyone and jinx finally feeling like she saved someone she cared about instead of being the cause of their demise and finally breaking the cycle of her killing everyone around her made me bawl. Thank you Arcane for this masterpiece and thank you Studiogek for sharing your journey with us. edit: I love the Jinx theory and I really hope their next project is Ionia the scenery will go hard or maybe Demacia to show the cruelty and dehumanisation mages go through and honestly the whole scene between Jayce and Viktor about perfection and imperfection can be used for how you viewed the end of Arcane as rushed, nothings perfect if it was it wouldn't make us feel the way it does.

[@luisfernandosilvaquintero]

I aggree that overall this last act was phenomenal and still think that arcane is downright a masterful show but i would be lying if i didn't admit that the last episode and arcane's whole conclusion left me a bit unsatisfied with how kind of rushed everything seems after the climax like half of the main casts' fates are completely left in the air (maybe except for jinx) as well as the political status of PnZ (it seems they are gonna try to reconcile since savika was made part of the council to represent Zaun), besides there's also the currently unknown status on the hextech which i consider a big deal since it is a very important element in the lore, I think my only serious gripe with how they decided to end things is that it they left it too open for my personal liking considering that this is supposed to be the end of the story for Piltover and Zaun and therefore it feels more like a prelude or preview to whatever next LoL show Riot might be planning in the future, hopefully those future projects will answer some of the questions arcane left. But all in all arcane has officially cemented itself as one of my favorite shows ever and it was definetely a great experience to watch from start to finish.

[@skylofter6840]

@nutzor9594 so therefore Ishas alive? Same with Victor Jayce Heim ambessas technically never actually saw her fully go all the side characters we never saw die yup their alive too. Nah man they clearly don't show corpses in this show especially since she literally blew up what Corpse would there to show lmao. That rule only exists for copium heads who don't realize it changes the rating dramatically to show a corpse and really league relies on that clean rating so arcane can't go ahead and show bodies especially ones that just got blown up. The only real peice of evidence yall have aid a single pink streak since Cait smiling is confirmed to be because of vi humming in the background, the ship is confirmed to be Cait/vis as they continue the fight in noxus, so yeah with those two loose piece of evidence gone all your left with is a single piece of shimmer going off in a shimmer filled bomb. Tldr. They did not leave it ambiguous at all y'all are just reading way too far into a single pink streak in an all around pink explosion. And sure they'll probably bring her back cause shitty writers love their fake out deaths (tis why I'm done with this show I'll watch S3 up until she returns then I'm just done I'm so flipping done with fake out deaths) I'm just saying currently with the evidence yall give I just don't buy her somehow being alive.The tunnels Cait are looking at are also the ones she uses in that new ship heading to noxus or it also very much just could've been air looking at the designs jinx used to build her ship either way she's smiling because vi is humming in the next room that is confirmed. Then Cait says to vi "are you reading to continue the fight" and it pans out to a ship heading the same way as noxus. That's not a random af ship that's the two scenes making you out two and two together that Cait and vi are heading to noxus together to "continue the fight" whatever that means. And the end card being jinxs can easily be explained by the fact it's incredibly common practice to put the deceased end card at the end of a show especially if they just died in the last episode or arc of the movie. So yeah y'all's only evidence is the single streak of pink before the bomb and while sure they'll probably end up saying that's jinx cause this dumb af show loves it's fake out deaths but as of right now it makes no sense that she someone got out of a freefall where they've shown us she can't use her shimmer to create a fractional force lmao she can't use her speed while freefallung that's why she needed her guns during the scene with Viktor and the only time she uses it is to quickly only move her head away from the voidy tentacles. So she can't use her speed to escape a massive hungry beast who is hell bent on eating her as he has no humanity left since singed wiped it all away has two hands wrapped around her there's no world she managed to get out of his grasp while point blank explosion falling into the hex core pulling them all in. The only plausible way I will accept jinx living is if somehow they both fell into the hex core and that's how they survived cause nah her somehow getting away from all that just makes no sense. And ik I put the tldr in the middle lmao mb just yall keep sprouting the same nonsense points and I'm tired of people not understanding how much it just doesn't make sense how she got away at least by y'all's points

[@ramseybolton1258]

For those asking about the three-eyed raven, it's Swain the general and leader of Noxus.

[@Ejay669]

Well it'd be six-eyed as it has 3 each side. In game of thrones it's called the three eyed raven because it has one in the middle plus the regular two. We also don't know what time period they're going for so Swain might be on his way up in the ranks before the war with Ionia - if they do a tv show with him it'd be good to see him dealing with the Black Rose.

[@aref3777]

I think the reason the top 3 was so hard was due to how good the writing was, everyone had a big importance in the finale and if one of them were to be absent the whole finale would fall apart. Jayce: talked sense into victor and never gave up on him speaking to his humanity while uniting Piltover & Zaun Vi: saw the good in Jinx and never gave up the only family she had left and was pivotal in stalling the raid and protecting those she loved by doing what she does best, punching Ekko: Used all the time he had to make the most of every second like his beloved quote "its not how much time you have, its how you use it" to turn the tides of battle and persuaded Jinx to live and fight on for those they lost on the way. Jinx: rallied Zaun alongside Ekko and did Aeisha proud by doing what she wanted from jinx from ep 4 and protecting her sister, also i feel like she wanted to die and would rather sacrifice herself to guarantee vis safety like she said in ep 3 i believe "everyone around me dies" which still held true to Vander in that scene and vi would never let go which would mean they would all die, she realised then and there what to do. Caitlyn: Even though the fight was near impossible she managed to strategize a plan that led to success, forgave Jinx but her differences aside and decided to create a Piltover where there would be no children to suffer the fate Aeisha faced and with the help of Mel took down Ambessa which is a feat on its own! Viktor: Wanted to create a world of perfection because he wanted to end the suffering he was subjected to and to create a world he thought would be best till Jayce showed him why imperfection was the best way for a brighter future. Heimer: found something worth dying for, his pupils. He let down Jayce he wasn't going to stand by and have Ekko meet the same fate also like cannon said he was right lol. Doubt anyone read this but if you did you're probably going through arcane withdrawal which honestly same and this is just a quick analysis from watching arcane like a min ago so let me know what you guys thought!

Compared to the previous series' finale, it may seem a bit imperfect, but as Jess said to Victor, imperfection itself has its own beauty. In summary, the two seasons of 'Twin Cities' bring audiences a wonderful and unforgettable animation experience. Its creativity and production are groundbreaking and different from traditional animation works in the past. At the same time, I am also looking forward to the animations of different city states in the League of Legends that Fist will bring us in the future. Perhaps in these animations, we can still see the figure of the Battle of Two Cities

[@CyberPunkMoronCorner]

Even IF. That's true. I personally, highly dislike that because it would kill her redemption arc. And all that's been built towards that character. Sometimes it's ok you know, for a main character to just die. That death has a lot of meaning, symbolism behind it. Her just.. trailing away, just seems like a very childish writing choice. And up to this point, Arcane didn't write things this way. So I can't ignore those signs obviously, but I refuse to believe that's actually the real case. Since it would ruin a lot of impactful symbolism, and an actual end of a redemption arc.

I have mixed feelings on the ending. I kinda felt like how Carter did. Overall, I love the show, it's one of my favorite shows to come out in recent years and I'm sad it's over. That being said, I think season 1 was executed much better writing and pacing wise than season 2. I still thought season 2 was pretty great, it was visually stunning and had some amazing moments, as well as episodes. All of Act 2, plus episode 7, might be some of my favorite episodes in the entire series, with Act 2 easily being the best part of this season, imo. The final episode though, didn't quite stick the landing for me. It's interesting, because I still felt emotional and I still thought the ending mostly worked, but I have issues with some things and one of them is it felt like it needed more time. I'll probably watch any spinoff series they do after this though, because I'd say the good definitely outweighs the bad.

[@tb4076]

Yeah, that's how I felt too. If season 1 was an 11/10, this season had 12/10 visuals and 8/10 storytelling imo. All the complaints I have are VERY minor, almost nitpicks, but there are so many of them that they really add up. Mostly pacing issues and how so many storylines could have had time to breathe and develop.

[@REChronic54]

Despite my gripes about s2, the time travel episode and the Jayce and Viktor storyline were definitely my favorites in the entire show.

[@jude3464]

I actually feel the same way Carter feels. Phenomenal season/show but that last Act just left me feeling unsatisfied, maybe even just 10 more mins at the end of the aftermath could have helped, but also issues with pacing left it feeling disjointed at times. Everything in the story made sense, but it really is just a matter of pacing and not having more key moments to lead up to the big moments. All in all top 2 show. ❤

[@MRST0R]

Yeah, I felt the same as well.

[@seakiwii]

100% same. I felt so conflicted when it ended because there is a LOT of things to praise about the show, but the pacing was just too chaotic. It needed an act 4 for sure to draw a lot of things out more. A few of the things that stood out the most to me that seemed WAY too fast paced were: 1. Viktor leaving the second he wakes up after Jayce saves him with the hexcore 2. Mel getting kidnapped by the black rose and just has a very sudden and cheap feeling op power up with little to no explanation. 3. Cait siding with ambessa then suddenly betraying her within the blink of an eye, makes her character feel really wishy washy.

[@NovaaTheGreat]

If each act had one extra episode, it would've been perfect. One episode in Act 1 to show caitlyn's strike team attacking zaun, instead of the montage we got. One episode in act 2 to show how cait and vi's breakup affected vi, ( again instead of the montage ), and give a bit more time for vi to react instead of immediately joining jinx, which felt off. And finally 1 more episdoe in act 4 to show the aftermath of the war.

[@WraithLK]

@@seakiwii​​⁠​⁠those can all be explained though? 1. Viktor would rather die than have himself be revived and have the hexcore still alive.

@@skylofter6840 i mean, even if you think it doesnt really make sense (and i sort of agree that the logistics arent 100%adding up), its clearly what the writers intended.

What is the point of showing that if not to imply she escaped into there? Why animate that characteristic shimmerflash in the explosion, show the exact Airship from Season 1 to which Powder said she was "one day gonna ride one of those things", her Silco hallucination talking to her about the true freedom being finding the will to walk away from the cycle of violence (and this concept being hinted at for Jinx as early as S1Ep.9), the "The End" flash being in Jinxes Halo/Painting style, etc. etc. All this compounds to Jinx being alive and walking away being very clearly what the Writers wanted to imply and it makes thematic sense here.

@@skylofter6840 if you look carefully at when the explosion detonates, there's a single purple streak that flies off before the explosion that's very reminiscent of the purple streaks that appear when jinx moves really fast as a result of her shimmer. There's also the aforementioned scene of Caitlyn looking at the blueprints for the hexgates, specifically focusing on a ventilation shaft while holding a piece of the monkey bomb, so I really don't know what else that moment could be specifically highlighting. The final shot with the airship also closely mirrors the opening scene of s1 ep1 with both airships being viewed at a very similar angle and it moving in the same direction, and of course Powders first line being that she wants to ride one of them. It very well could be wrong, but I really don't see how all of these points lining up being a reach. I'm also not really sure where you're getting the idea of it being a shimmer infused bomb from, the explosion is the same as a hextech explosion with the blue lightning, colour and sound, and the pink-ish colour that's also part of the explosion is likely just colouring added by jinx, we know the explosives she makes can come out pink(not sure how that even works lmao), and I can't remember any instances of shimmer being used specifically to makes weapons/aid them, just as a performance enhancing drug and some kind of fuel like with Sevika's arm. It IS flammable as seen in ep3 but that doesn't really make it a useful thing to put in an explosive when regular explosives already exist.

Episode 4 warwick reveal, episode 5 the reunion, episode 6 Isha's last moments, episode 7 Ekko and Powder dancing. Also the art of animation in season 2 is even better than in season 1 (which is crazy because season 1 Arcane is already far above anything else out there).

The animators hinting that Jinx is alive is quite obvious. A few scenes made little sense ot me toward the end, until I read the theory.

Coming from Patreon, Carter I agree with you SO HARD, the animation was great, I loved the music and I loved most of the characters but the narrative really suffered from pacing/lack of time/episodes. It no longer felt as character driven in the end and felt heavily reliant on the arcane plot! I still loved the show and its still top for me but as someone who only watched season 1 in the last few months rather than waited 3 years, it didn’t feel like a match. I was so upset with Jinx’s ending. I wanted this mentally traumatized girl that we’ve seen suffer and fight and grow for 18 episodes to get a better ending, it was a disservice to her character and especially her and Vi’s story together. And the fact that she might actually be alive in the end but far away feels cheap. Still loved the season and the show, but eh. I feel just as confused and mixed as you. It was all these little things building up on top of each other that knocked it down for me.

[@soullesschicken4069]

i felt the rushed pace since act 1 of this season but i accepted it and adapted to it and still massively enjoyed the show and don't feel let down, although i get how it can be jarring for people. the original plan was to have 5 seasons. i think even one more season would have been great, not to pick up from where we left of, but to stretch out and pad what we got more, so it feels more organic and gradual, with fewer gaps we need to fill with our imagination. but i guess it wasn't feasible due to how long it takes to animate, how much it all costs and how many other stories, places and characters there are to explore in future shows. the constraint was necessary but it's understandable that it can leave some heads spinning. it's like if they put all remaining seasons after season 1 of attack on titan into the second season and that was it. but it's still a testament to superb writing that they had to compress that much story and tell it so quickly and it still didn't all fall apart. the character motivations made sense, the actions and choices felt impactful, the relationships felt meaningful, and the dialogue and monologue were really good and poignant, not just empty flowery speech. and it is fascinating how many callbacks and parallels there are, how interwoven it all is, and i think the more you rewatch it all and pick up on those things, the more connected and fluid the journey would feel. also there are some cool sneak peaks of league champions here and there, but especially in the end, subtle enough to not confuse the general audience, but noticeable enough for those who are familiar with the game/lore to pick up on
