Vi VS Sevika - Final Full Fight | Arcane

[@8Exceed]

I love the fact that after Vi takes a drink she just throws the glass at Sevika. Like it wasn't to get some advantage in the fight. It was just pure disrespect like she's saying "F*ck this b*tch. Exclusively."

[@hewhofapslastfapshardest.5926]

I noticed that. It's obvious these two women have a history, and you can tell by their interactions and even the way they fight one another that they still know each other well, even after all those years. I also love the petty glass toss, and the look of annoyance on Sevika's face as she dodges it. They may hate one another, but there's also a nuanced understanding of the other there. Both are fierce fighters loyal to the causes they think are best, and are well matched as opponents in their similarities. The writers did a damn good job.

This also explained why Vi and Jayce can swing those oversized weapons around like it is nothing. Hextech also influence gravity as once one of her gauntlets got disabled it suddently became much heavier to lift.

[@Shaggy87781]

not to mention vi is just stupidly strong and can lift it without that, i think its more of a shift of the weight becoming heavier that caused her to drop. (not to mention in the prior fight vi kicked sevika through a solid cement wall with just her normal feet)

I like how Vander's "Ghost" contrasts Mylo's Jinx "Hears" Mylo as her insecurities, telling her she's weak and basically mocking her every action. Making her insecure and fueling her anger/paranoia. Vi hears Vander as a motivation to keep fighting. Not telling her she's weak, but rather "Okay, now what you do is get up and keep fighting" and remembers her of what she's fighting for. Mylo appears in the shadows, obscured and as a twisted version of himself, with a ghoulish appearance. Vander appears in a bright light as a complete version of himself

[@eurosalamander]

[@pedroian5964]

@@devinfleenor3188 not really hallucinations Jinx directly hears and interacts with the voices in her head. Mylo talks, she tells him to shut up like it produces actual sound in her head. Vi might just be talking to herself and Vander comes to mind when she says it, that's something i do a lot as well, but i wouldn't call a hallucination. She doesn't even directly looks at him or really answers him, so my guess is that it's just herself but imagining Vander saying it.

Vi even does the weird 'teleporting/glitching' thing Jinx does from time to time!

Silco and Vander truly have different parenting style. Silco gives Jinx unconditional loves and trust, while Vander gives honesty and strict reminder of responsibility.

[@conejitorosada2326]

Not to mention that Silco wants Jinx to be the worst version of herself she can be, or "be the monster" that's inside of her, while Vander wants Vi (and everyone of his adopted children) to be the best version of themselves, in terms of having a good heart, tough attitude and wise demeanor.

[@FFXfever]

@@conejitorosada2326 i think that's an incorrect reading of Silco. Silco views power as the only way to survive the world.

[@conejitorosada2326]

@@FFXfever I can agree that it mirrors Powder with Vi, but the thing is if Jinx screws up while Silco DOES express his love and tries to empower her, She STILL thinks that she's a screw up, she NEVER got over her own trauma that Silco SHOULD'VE attended to if he really cared about her, AND Jinx' Hallucinations are worse, having both auditory and visual hallucinations while she doesn't lash out as much as when she was Powder, it doesn't take away how it's gotten worse under his care. Whether or not we like it, Jinx HAS to face her trauma instead of burying it and "forgetting" about it like what Silco tries to do. I doubt Vi could help Jinx because she lacks the understanding to help Jinx, but I do have some belief that She could've helped Jinx get over it (and maybe with the help of Ekko as he DID experience similar/the same traumatic experience of losing their family and loved ones)

How has no one else pointed out how when VI goes to get a drink she starts glitching around the screen like Jinx does. Showing us that even VI can get a little crazy.

[@chriscurlett4548]

Didn’t think about that. Great detail and nice find!

[@sethcrawford5107]

Best part about these Scenes? There’s so much pressure and movement, you can’t tell if it’s three minutes or ten.

[@ace0071000]

Yeah, I'm rewatching the fight svenes and I'm constantly surprised how short they are! They manage to tell show so much in those 2-3 minutes!

[@justascarecrow6988]

You can also follow most motions without needing to interpret teleportation into it. Hollywood meanwhile has a new cam angle TWICE IN THE SAME PUNCH. You lose track so quickly.

[@Iansurgent9659]

I absolutely loved that moment with Vander. He was my favorite character before he "died" and that moment there just signified the goodness and warmth he brought to Vi and Powders life.

[@TWolf-gt6if]

0:33 Holy shit that was alpha af

[@marcelinodarren10]

What so well done through out the whole series is that most of the time hextech magic is used, it almost always responds to the characters emotions.

[@gadrielvanorion9872]

i like how vi is literally like HOLY FUCK and then backs down going into defensive stance hopping around trying to stay quick when sevika pulled out her sword like most shows would not do this this is just such a great moment

[@jeffalong]

YOU JUST GOT VI PASSIVE'D LETS GOOO

[@alexisgadielnoachoque699]

oh u noticed that, nice

[@ConfettiBerg]

I said the same thing when I saw that, "OMG it's her Passive!!!!"

[@fungulusmaximus]

The callback to Sevika doing the toss-and-punch to Vi, then Vi doing it to Sevika after downing a drink is such a cool part of this fight.

[@justins8634]

If Sevika didn't work for Silco, I could see these two being friends

[@halifaxredemption]

I've never re-watched a show or clips from a show as much as I have with Arcane. It's beautiful and hits all the right spots.

[@newolympiangod8134]

I love how they fight one on one no help if you lose game over. They fought with such honor. No cowardly tricks just straight up.

[@darktemplar8140]

The subtle detail on Sevika flinching 0:39 while dodging the glass cup is unreal.

[@Alexey65536]

I like how Vi throws a glass at Sevika just to annoy her :D

[@david4rancibia34]

1:32 just like everybody knows Vi can kick ass, everybody reminds her how she sucks at blocking punches lmao

[@Basteal]

I love how the wonder of the magic bubble moment is immediately broken by Vi forcing Sevika to see the reality of the situation; she's lost, and pain is coming.

[@robertstryker2]

I thought that when she reached for Sevika she'd pull her down Well, she did pull her down. In a way.

[@ANGGELAful]

"Do you think Hextech can learn?" Hextech- creates a shield after its owner acknowledged her guard needed work Does that answer your question, Jayce?

[@giovannimarini3730]

I realized now that vi being good and Sevilla being bad, with them having as colors respectively blue and purple, might be a nod to the original team colors: blue team and purple team

[@WayfinderSol]

I agree. Plus the blade is red so Sevika is representing both the former and current team colors on that side.

[@GriFFonRec4]

By act 3, I stopped seeing particular characters as good or bad. Silco was legitimately just Vander at the end, and Sevika was a loyal retainer to him. If there was a villain in the show, it was Jynx. She was killing innocent people left and right and most of the things she did caused trouble and Mayhem in the narrative (which I absolutely love btw). Silco was just in a position where he had to constantly show his authority but when you are from the Undercity, the only way to do that is with Violence. Jayce also went corrupt just to keep this authority in Piltover. Saying Silco was evil is basically calling all of the Undercity evil, IMO. Particularly if you 'forgive' some of the antics Jayce and them were pulling in Piltover. Although, of course Ekko did a fine job cutting out a virtuous part of the Undercity while staying relatively good in nature. I'm just saying that Silco didn't do evil things because he was evil, but because they were the only things that would help the undercity, and he probably truly believed that, particularly after act 1 seeing how Vander handled things and got pushed around by Enforcers.

[@conorsvfx]

I love the pettiness of vi throwing the glass at sevika

[@sinisterhunter]

Oh damn, Just made the connection. Vi didn't know her gauntlets HAD a shield function simply because that was the first time she genuinely took a 'guard' position like vander just told her to do. Up until then she only ever punches forward

[@Ngchan2000]

i dont why but i love that scream just before she threw the.table up.... hard to do screams like that

[@giannagreen7975]

Dang, the mental strength vi has is amazing. I know Vander came in for a moment and encouraged her. But it's not like he was actually there, so vi is most likely using this image of Vander giving her advice as a way to keep going. Also they get so many fricken hits to the face and those aren't love taps. Such a great way to show how tough they are but also their strength. I love this show.

[@jerseyjackrabbit2829]

the small details win this fight. each cut showed a different angle and it really shows this fight in all is beauty. every little detail from the spit and blood to the god damn items in the room becoming weapons. my favorite part is when she lying on the ground talking to vander. she smiles and smirks at vanders remarks like hes never been gone all these years. even the small detail of her spitting out her tooth and shooting blood out her nose shows just good fighting spirit. this isnt the power of friendship or magic but flat out just raw spirit. if anyone else had those gloves they wouldnt survive so long but its vi that makes the gloves shine so they react accordantly

[@DwarvenWarriorz]

Riot has to bring savika in to the game she is amazing.

[@fcasias7]

Right? That sword arm throwing energy blades screams champion design to me. Combined with the implication that she may be the new head of silco's forces and shimmer production and she could turn into a major player in Zaun's future.

@@Archedgar Right? It took them a while, but they made SENNA! How many years has it been since she was even hinted at btw?

[@Archedgar]

@@hiit-itxr-fitness1962 To be fair, riot was trolled into adding Senna. The amount of *"THRESH 100% WIFE STEAL TROLOLOL"* style jokes in the official riot forums before they were shut down was ...... well it was high even for the internet. The devs unironically hated that so it was partly out of spite that they added her. I see your point though and I agree.

[@kritz9997]

2:34 i love how abruptly Vi grabbed her to pause this dramatic moment, they know its not her style and it just follows up with the final beatdown with no music. She knows shes won, but thats just one of many fights she'd have to win in the future.

[@RetroActive2000]

I love how hard the fights are in Arcane, all the punches feel like they have weight behind them, and when characters get their ass beat, they really really get the work lol

[@yooooo8600]

At 1:30, you can see Vi's eye fully close and her breathing seemingly stops, as if she's just giving up. But when Vander speaks, her eyes instantly open again. We don't deserve this show.

[@vyyisonlinee]

i love how sevika adapted to vi’s fighting style since last time

[@hanthequestee4547]

One of the bests scenes in my opinion. Shit bro, Vi gives me chills. I love her!

[@strawberrycatastrofy257]

The way Vi went from "whoa I have a shield??" to "I take your arm now >:)"

[@elimanic7925]

I'd love to point out how you barely see Vander's face, and only after she gets up, you get a glimpse. I love all the little things like that, shows every shot had a lot of thought and heart.

[@Morrow16]

We NEED a separate Sevika's arc in future seasons. The amount of stories and directions riot can make for her are beyond any comprehension. Definitely one of the best characters in Arcane for me

[@nickyha8600]

The fights are so well put together, all of them. Its not just some flying punches or bullets, its all thought through, Shows fighting style but also the karakter itself and how they go into one.

In many films/stories, women will always look beautiful and flawless even during a fight. No messy hair,sweat and blood is more like decoration.But Arcane really makes them look like they are fighting,I mean look at Vi's face in 0:28. And she spited out a fricking tooth in 1:57!!

[@StoicYT]

I just want to mention that the fight scenes for this are done so well. Every blow seems fluid, impactful, and make me want to make whooshing noises and swing my arms around like a moron

[@stephenlongden9040]

The fight scenes are so good and fresh because they feel like they hurt and each blow takes the fight closer to a conclusion. Total contrast to so many other shows where the fights are like a dance with no damage taken and the winner suddenly inflicts the winning blow for no reason.

[@BBmetalhead04]

What I really appreciate about this rematch is the fight is still close. Vi's gauntlets don't necessarily give her the "edge" over Sevika, but rather "level the playing field". Occasionally when the protagonist gets an upgrade, they body the antagonist they struggled with previously.

[@david4rancibia34]

love the fact that when they both take a break and Vi takes the drink, she just throw the glass at Sevika out of pure pettiness, Sevika easily dodge it, it wasn't meant as a distraction or to inflict damage, it was just like a middle finger to the face "Fuck this Bitch"

[@GoldiekkRS]

The sound design in this scene is seriously next level

[@pogicus89]

I wasn't expecting this show to be good, but after watching the entire thing in a day, I'm very happy to say that this is what western animation should be!

[@ash666pro]

don't you just love that when sevika destroyed one of the gauntlets, it immediately felt heavy, look at how VI is even dragged down and didn't go far when she got pushed back, the gauntlet stopped her right there.

I can't imagine any league fan being disappointed with the Arcane series. Soo much epicness.

[@TheDaxter11]

You know what I love about the shield in this scene? It makes sense. At first you'd think "why would gauntlets made to help people with construction/mining (don't remember what exactly it was) need a shield? We don't make weapons my ass lol" but no, if its made for something like construction or mining accidents happen and things go wrong, cave ins, heavy shit falling on you, that's where the shield on these gauntlets comes in.

[@ATREON31]

2:39 Vi: You really are in a fucked up situation, dont you?

[@aimia100]

small detail I love: at 2:27 when sevika is raising her blade against vi, you notice a drawing on the ceiling, it looks a bit like an eye, the same image that you see during silco’s mental breakdown after vi escapes. one is whole, and the other is broken. I’m not sure exactly what object it depicts, or if it’s abstract, but given the scene with silco, it was meant to represent him standing in the ruins of powder’s childhood. so I believe that here, it being in the last drop’s ceiling and whole, represents hope for powder’s happiness instead, to vi. it’s a lovely small detail to notice for me.

[@0715-v8r]

0:33 LOVE HER FOR THIS

[@PeaceLoveMusic504]

Hailee Steinfeld needs more credit. Her voice acting in these fights is next level. Love her expression of pain when feeling the heat of the blade against the gauntlet.

[@annar.5798]

Poor Vi loses a tooth at 1:57. Damn. This show doesn't differentiate between men and women getting hit - and that's awesome! in many shows, the female fighters are always unrealistically badass without getting hurt at all or even looking like they just fought for their life. I love Arcane for ignoring gender in a progressive way

[@DaelDead]

what i like about arcane fight scenes is just how real the physical strain looks on the characters, how after an intense startup they have to take a breath and when going at it again it looked like (specially vi) their bodies where heavier than before. Vi had to scream for her to be able to release the pain and be able to toss that table.

[@jcfra420]

This entire series was beyond epic. From character design and development, animation, music and story. I can barely wait for the second season. Hopefully Netflix learns something from this, and puts out more. But I doubt it.

[@daughteroftiaran]

I don't even want to see a second season because I can't see how they could possibly make it as good as the first.

[@NormalJinx]

Taking lessons from Sergio Leoni with the close-ups, lessons from Robert Rodriguez with the Mariachi style music, and brawling coming straight out of a Jackie Chan movie on shimmer. Combining that amount of style and substance is no easy feat, yet the show at this point makes it look so goddamn easy.

[@stephenlongden9040]

The show is a masterpiece I've never seen style and substance packed so densely in each and every scene. People are right to praise the fight scenes but also the political and social scenes are just as alive with body language.

[@wut-dah_7212]

This is how you write female characters in fight scenes.
