Why Sevika is The Perfect Voice of Zaun

[@lydiscott]

ALSO Just adding, at 11:54, Sevika's reflection is almost wearing a sort of "crown", in a royal purple type colour. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but to me, that was a hint to her ending. And I love that lol! *also sorry for saying she was a "relatively unimportant" side character i DONT KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING CALLING ZAUN'S DOMMY MOMMY THAT i am ashamed and wrong lol Thanks for watching!

[@neofulcrum5013]

Heavy is the crown. A song about the burden of choice and command. Could really apply to many characters. Including Sevika.

[@ravendelacour1917]

Heavy may be the crown but Sevika has the strength to wear it.

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

My favorite part of arcane is Sevika's arm representing who holds the power over Zaun at the time. -human arm when it's Vander, -chemtech arm when it's Silco -no arm when nobody's in charge. -and then Jinx's arm when she comes back. ALSO when Smeech (the yordle chem baron) is pushing for leadership over Zaun he offers her a new arm, literally showing that whoever's arm Sevika has, is in charge of Zaun

[@jamakaya1332]

Bingo!

[@alexbaker4056]

gotta love the metaphor as she's usually their right hand/arm

[@neofulcrum5013]

That’s some crazy symbolism

[@polo5760]

Honestly she's been through it all. A civil war, "Peaceful" times with Vander, and the chaotic but controlled times of Silco. And finally the times of her dream fading away little by little.

[@lydiscott]

Yeah it’s nice that she was able to come out on the other side and see the dawn of a better age

[@77Night77Shade77]

@@lydiscott Let's not assume things will actually get better just yet.

[@cw1345]

She sold out Vander to Silko and he’d probably still be alive if it wasn’t for her. I don’t care how many different hair styles she comes out with, she gets no passes in my book.

and finally being a member in the Piltover council

[@cuongtranmanh3794]

​@@cw1345rewatch the scene, you should understand Sevika literally prepare to going to war with topsider, risking her own life for Vander's problem. Sevika loyal is with Zaun not anyone. She could be a boss herself but she didn't. But in the end, she still becomes a boss

[@richietozier7091]

One part that really divides Sevika from other characters is while Silco refuses to give up Jinx because she's his daughter, Sevika refuses to give up Jinx because she's a Zaunite. Silco made a decision in spite of his ideals, while Sevika made the same decision _because_ of them

[@cuongtranmanh3794]

I love Sevika because she has principle and she never betrayed that ❤️

[@AspieVeix]

Her becoming a councilor was a no-brainer, mostly because everyone else who could have filled the seat (Namely Vander and Silco) is *dead* but even then, when she sits down, there's that looming feeling that her struggle, much like Zaun's, is far from over. At the end of the show, we see that a new council has been created, with a new councilor from each of the houses; Shoola, the last survivor of the old council and Sevika. On a council of 8, that's 1 councilor for Zaun. If we assume Sevika fought with Vander on the bridge, that's almost 20 years of fighting, and all she has to show for it is a single voice that Piltover's disdain will have no trouble outvoting into irrelevance. It's a very realistic outcome to such an old conflict between the two halves of the city. You can't unmake generations upon generations of prejudice in a single battle. Still, the fact that we can see Sevika steeling herself for the (political) war that is to come shows that she's not done fighting. Which is good, because if the Undercity is going to ever get out from under Topside's thumb, it's going to need someone like Sevika, who won't be bullied or bought by anyone.

[@aranthur]

I love the quiet moment Sevika has alone at Vander's statue, even though it only lasts a couple of seconds. It's so reminiscent of Silco's moment there last season where he learned to better understand Vander and maybe even began to wish he was still around to help or at least to offer advice. Only, instead of the lesson being about the love Vander had for his children, for Sevika the lesson was about just how damn hard it was to be a leader who could unite the undercity without the muscle and the money Silco got through his Shimmer empire All Vander, and now Sevika, had to work with was themselves and their ability to inspire the people with a dream to believe in Also, I do love the implication that Sevika and Caitlyn have made peace in the end and that Caitlyn is directly responsible for her being on the council, as the chair Sevika sits in is the one Cassandra once did, meaning Caitlyn probably gave up her own right to power as head of House Kiramman to make sure Zaun had a seat at the table

[@lydiscott]

Omg that’s such a cool point about Cassandra’s chair!!! Ah!!

[@ladysisyphus4243]

It’s still only one chair 🥲 the piltover council members will make sevika’s role so much more difficult, even with the backing of house kiranman like just look at how real world politics work 🤡 it’s giving crumbs representation tbh

[@aranthur]

@ladysisyphus4243 Yeah, it's not enough. That's the point. One big fight they had to work together for doesn't magically fix decades of inequality and oppression and prejudice. It's a start though, and if enough people like Sevika, Ekko, Vi, Cait, and heck even Shoola are willing to put in the work, maybe we eventually get an outcome similar to episode 7. We know it's possible after seeing that, but it won't be easy That's the "fight" Caitlyn asked Vi about at the end of the finale. The job isn't done yet, and they've got to be in it for the long haul

[@syd.a.m]

@@ladysisyphus4243 Potentially two chairs in Zaun's favor. Shoola, the only remaining member of the old Council, appears to be sympathetic towards Zaun, so Sevika will have at least one ally on the council.

[@succinctsucculent9007]

Oh I really hope this is canon. It would be perfect for Caitlyn and Vi’s relationship too with the amends Caitlyn needs to make from her dictatorship spree.

[@cr1s1savertedfornow]

Sevika is definitely one of my favorite characters, so it's so nice to see other people appreciating her. I also wish we could've seen more of her in act 3 (although I get why her stuff would be cut, since she's a tertiary character and her arc is ultimately still able to be told fairly concisely). I really loved how her final scene joining the council, she has no replacement arm and seems both nervous and confident about it. I was saying to my friend all season, "Damn I wish Sevika had the confidence to be the leader, she obviously is the one who has always cared the most about Zaun," so seeing that final scene was really vindicating.

[@quierrahmarshall3889]

We'll probably see her again next time we pop into the two sister cities. There are still ten champions from both Piltover and Zaun that have yet to be explored.

[@cr1s1savertedfornow]

@quierrahmarshall3889 God i hope so

[@neofulcrum5013]

She’s definitely a good choice for the council and with Shoola, who’s sympathetic to Zaun and remembers that they are their people too, some real changes could happen. It’s not a permanent solution but a gradual reform rollout.

[@MossOwnsYouYT]

Sevika actually never changes her allegiences. Sevika only has one thing she has faith in; Zaun. She never betrayed Vander, rather he gave up the fight for Zaun and she moved to the next best leader: Silco. The arm certainly shows where her allegences in her fight for Zaun is, but she never stops believing in her city and her people, and anyone who doesnt stand beside her is better off tossed aside like Smeech. The way that Jinx manages to work in aspects of Sevika's gambling personality to offset her cemented nature is awesome; if gives Sevika a wild side in combat that is not seen in her other modes of operation. Sevika is a stone, a foundation set into Zaun. She stands so others may build the future on her shoulders.

[@Dionn]

OMG Sevika is DEFINITELY my favorite character. It actually physically kinda hurts that we didn’t get more Sevika in season 2

[@TeHPHoBoS999]

The fact that Sevika's name means servant is absolutely amazing. Also that the end of her arc is as a "public servant" on the council. I don't think anyone, even Vander or Silco, could be a better pick for the council.

[@ravendelacour1917]

In a lot of ways you can see Sevika's various terms of service with leaders as teaching her various modes of leadership. Loyalty and couragr from Vander, intelligence and guile from Silco, and inspiration and innovation from Jinx. Each mode will serve her well in the uphill battle she'll face in the political games of Piltover.

[@nomadzophiel]

I feel bad for Sevika. All of the fighting for Zaun and what's the end result? One vote at a table with six old money families that clearly don't want her there and have no intention of supporting Zaun's interests.

[@WinterBoy1100]

Will a bit of luck,they might at least be smart enough to realise that Zaun's interests are in their interest too

[@Googleusergoogleuser-b4p]

True, we see time and time again that she works best as second in command.

[@syd.a.m]

Five. Shoola, the one remaining member of the old Council, appears to be sympathetic, so Sevika will have at least one ally there.

[@Ali-po9le]

Another cute thing i love about the arm jinx made for sevika is that sevika can put it on by herself. The first time jinx sees sevika in season 2 shes struggling to put her arm on by herself. So she makes her an arm thats completely hers, its different than the one silco gave her, which made her dependent on those around her. While with jinxs arm she can do it on her own now, it feels more like a friendship.

[@Ananastasia95]

Another great analysis, thanks! ❤ Sevika even became one of my favorite arcane characters this season.

[@kevind3974]

It’s funny that in the end the two who make it to the council are Savika taking over the kiraman seat and scar taking over Himerdingers. The left and right hands of Zaun. Not the leadership but their seconds who were both forced to become the leaders do to the sudden absence of one. Gotta love arcane and it’s duality’s

[@kevind3974]

My question now is who took over the third seat. Jericho? Babeti? 3 empty seats = 1 rep for each floor. Only one missing is the lanes (middle). Who is filling in for Mel’s seat.

[@syd.a.m]

Scar (the Firelight's second-in-command) was one of the representatives from Zaun during Jayce's appeal and warning of the coming war, but he doesn't make it to the Council. Or at least, he's not in the end scene showing the new Council members. I assume he's staying in Zaun as a leader of the community there. Sevika seems to be the sole representative of Zaun on the Council. The Council table has 9 seats total, but only 7 are filled by the end of the show. There were 7 to start with at the beginning, then raised to 8 when Jayce was added, then back to 7 when Jayce stepped down. Shoola is the only member of the old Council left. Nine may be the maximum number of seats possible for the Council.

[@Kriostyx]

I respectfully disagree on Sevika being a voice of the people and have grave issues with her morality and loyalty to Zaun as a city or society. I had a longer more detailed comment on acts Sevika does or allows to happen in Season 1 but it was maybe a bit much for the youtube bot. So I'll try to be more broad but convey the hopefully constructive point. All this points to Sevika during season 1. Season 2 is a different story and a very different character. " We don't hand over our own people " always sounded hollow to me coming from Sevika. People glorify it without criticism and it kind of bothers me. She is perfectly willing to sacrifice or end Zaunites, including Vi's gang, if they arbitrarily "look weak" to her or happen to be in the way. Or happen to just be in a fistfight with her and she feels like doing a pointy sharp arm-thing through them (Vi). Just not *give* them to Piltover. The distinction seems dishonest and morally gaslighty even to herself. " We don't hand over our own people we just.... put them to the ground ourselves." Yay? Sounds more like tyranny than anything for any "people". Speaking of the people. The idea of Zaun that Sevika seems to fight for. She is perfectly willing to watch and allow the death and suffering shimmer causes, the poverty, the homelessness, the squalor.... and it doesn't cause her to even bat an eye. Which suggests she is not fighting for an independent Zaun for the people. Instead fighting for an independent lawless Zaun where might makes right and the "weak", the people who don't happen to be born strong or capable or ruthless enough, are meaningless. I hope this doesn't come across as too negative or so on. Conveying tone in text is not my strong point, but I mean all this in a constructive way. An honest thought bubble about Sevika as a character. I like your videos, you make cool stuff, they're fun to listen to and analyzing and interpreting these characters is interesting and fun. I just feel that people are really quick to not really look at or critique what Sevika does and allows to happen in S1. And it puzzles me.

[@captainziggy82]

Sums up my grievances with Sevika perfectly, very well said!

[@captainziggy82]

I would agree if she wasn’t part of the reason shimmer ran rampant in the undercity, Ekko would have been the best representative.

[@crazy13alex]

Technically, that helped Zaun get enforcers off their backs. The problem was Jayce and Viktor invented Hextech the same night Silco seized control. Whatever opportunity that could have opened up after a seizefire was lost.

[@Googleusergoogleuser-b4p]

But also, Shimmer is one of the only forms of health care available to Zaunites. We see it revive Jinx and pump Sevika after losing her arm, so it probably can work as a powerful painkiller and revitalizer.

[@salininguyendona3235]

Sevika is one of those rare characters in Arcane with genuinely pure intentions. She wants the best for Zaun, and will stop at nothing to get it. Despite everything, she held onto her beliefs and stayed firm throughout the entire series, not letting go of her values and staying true to herself.

The fact that at the end she gets a seat at the council is so good to her character arch. She deserves that seat!

[@kevinhuynh4278]

In one of the last scenes of the Episode 9, Councillor Sevika and Shoola (the one with a machine eye who survived Jinx's explosion) shares a shot with only one another. These two characters actually share many similarities, most notable are visual as they're both cyborgs and are women of colour. They've also survived all the events of Arcane since season 1, act 1 and have the scars to show for it. During the Noxian invasion Shoola and Mel were at the front lines commanding the Enforcers and Sevika spearheaded the Zaun fighters. The new council is full of fresh Piltover nobles so these two, even though they were enemies, will probably find more solidarity with each other. Shoola has basically no screentime but after 2 seasons we know that she's very rich, powerful and has been a political leader of Piltover for over a decade. She has survived armed attacks and defended her city in the face of war. Sevika is her Zaun opposite, but with more brawn and, most likely, less brain. I think they'll make a good team.

[@blindsaint07]

Perfect voice for Zaun but not explored at all. Few moments she had in ep2 or 4 were not enough. Also lets not forget she was vying for Zauns independence but that was even at the price of people of Zaun. All these years she was helping Silco drug the whole undercity and its people so her wanting to not 'give up their own people' was hypocritical in s1 perspective. How many of their own they killed while trying to stick it to topside and gaining nothing speaks for itself.

[@ayoCC]

She sacrificed herself to the shimmer as well. I think she saw it as the pain you had to go through, the V shaped recovery, chemotherapy, the desperation to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If they wanted freedom, they didn't just have to touch people's hearts and tell them what they need. They also needed to have the strength to not get squashed into oblivion by those who just want to make it go away.

[@blessedcocoa5729]

I completely understand and agree with her leaving Vander. Now I'm not saying I wouldn't do what Vander did, but he put his kids ahead of Zaun. He lost so many people and their respect for his decision. Remember they follow him because he promised freedom. Him and Silco both. Silco stayed true to that and Vander didn't. Even when Silco had a daughter (Jinx) his goal never shifted. He would've gone to war as they were itching to do when they asked for Jinx. And Sevika would follow. For her it is Zaun against Piltover. They handle their own people, topside doesn't get to.

There is definitely irony in naming Sevika the perfect voice of Zaun when she doesn't get a single speaking line past episode 4 and pretty much doesn't even appear again before the finale. Really fits season 2 dropping the political conflict because it's like 3 seasons crammed into one and we had to move on to killing god.

[@jjunior48]

4:28 Is there a slight implication that sevika knows jinx killed silco? I feel like this action here with the bottle is her resolve on the “we don’t hand over our own people” faltering. The dialogue afterwards to me doesn’t suggest that Sevika even knows if Silco is dead or just gone, as she says “he bails out”. she never really liked jinx as you talked about and taking her out would solve a lot of sevikas problems, so her instinct is to knock her out - but she’s better than that and chooses not to

[@Etticos.]

I have a bit of head canon regarding Sevika and Jinx. When Silco took Powder in, she didn’t just immediately go full grown Jinx mode, there was years of development in between. I like to think while Jinx was still younger, Sevika and Jinx may have had a sisterly bond. In a way, Sevika’s attributes mirror Vi in many ways (loyal, fierce, brawler). In my head canon, Sevika’s only started getting frustrated and distrusting of Jinx shortly (couple months, maybe a year tops) before season 1 episode 4, as Jinx was going on more and more missions in the field and her flying off the handle became expected. Prior to that, I like to think Sevika and Jinx had some sort of bond, which is why it was so natural and easy for them to slide back into that sisterly dynamic in season 2 episode 2 where they share their grief over the loss of Silco.

[@ravendelacour1917]

It is fitting that Sevika's name means servant. A true leader is one who serves their people and their land. Or as one person put it me, "To rule, is to serve."

i really love sevika as the core of the revolutionist movement. her loyalty to zaun's potential really set her apart. that being said, i rally think zaun is worse off with her on the council. because anything she tries to reform can be easily voted down. and at best the changes from the council are merely that... reformist, not revolution. so i saw it as a very sad thing for zaun that the core of the revolution will now be playing politics in a system designed to maintain a status quo that is harmful to the undercity.

[@mkraulis]

Caitlyn gave up the Kiraman council seat so Zaun could have representation. Sevika sits in what was Cassandra's seat. I think there is a nice parallel between how Silco raised Jinx, with very little accountability for her actions, and how casually Jinx acted as a guardian for Isha in terms of her safety - essentially raising Isha to be a soldier for Zaun. Why didn't the writers get Jinx to use her shimmer speed to rescue Isha before she sacrificed herself?

I have a better idea, Jinx could run out of danger before Isha even thought about that sacrifice move. But we are know how dull it turn out

I am so frustrated by the show dropping the political themes to fixate on the magic and setting up spin offs. The amount of nuance and complexity as well as diverse perspectives in the show. The clean up from the war could have been an entire season or at least two thirds. I think Savika would adapt to being a councilor. She played the role of king maker for Vander(removing him) Silko and Jinx. I fully think she can play the game of politics if she wants to. I am farm more disappointed that the resolution isn’t structural change. There probably are some smaller structural changes. Like how the police operate and what not. But we don’t see it. Season one had some focus on how the opressive system kept people who mean well like Jayce and Kaitlyn from making fundamental changes. How all of their efforts at best helped individual people. But their efforts to help people ended up maintaining the status quo. If we see piltover in a spin offs i would love to revisit the changes that need to happen. Maybe we see more Zaunites on committees? The writers seemed to drop the idea of sovereignty. I am not saying go full democracy. Look at the us democracy doesn’t fix oppression by itself. But something to the end less depressing.

To bad that voice is going to be ignored at every turn because she’s only one person on a council of elite that don’t give a damn about Zain.

[@brianperron805]

Idk maybe I’m just being sensitive but Sevika and seeing her more primal and animalistic side of her IE going ahead with killing Vanderbilt and even innocent children, doesn’t give me some noble activist but a brutal warlord that probably didn’t stop those actions with just Vander and his children but anybody that would stand against her and the status quo innocent or not. While I think maybe in her mind she was doing what she had to do for Zaun I think a lot of the brutality at the expense of her own people makes her no different from piltover and at what cost to bring Zaun their freedom to help some tyrant like Silco and when he’s gone help another or become one herself? I feel like somebody like Ekko or even Vi (if she hadn’t used the grey on her own people) would have been a better leader or at least a better track record of actually caring for the well-being of their people. Idk just with her track record idk how I feel about her leading the undercity as a just leader for her people.

[@adamspencer5142]

I like Sevika, I would have left Vander too, he was being a wimp. Only Canada ever won independence by asking nicely.

Her voice actor was actually pretty bad tbh

should have taken Silco’s place but she became Jinx’s babysitter instead, so lame

Guess everyone forgot she's literally one of the worst criminals, the right hand of a dead drug lord...

This season needed at LEAST three more episodes to focus more on Zaun vs Piltover plot

[@xtrafunk]

"the voice of zaun" didn't say one word the whole back half of season 2 😂🤣

[@giulyblaziken268]

For being the "voice of the people" she sure got lots of lines after episode 4. This season was ass

[@southbound1974]

Savika is very similar to Slim Charles from The Wire, I wouldn't be surprised if that character was the inspiration

[@Shadow-cp8qc]

I think Sevika will be of little use in the council. She does not have the necessary knowledge in the field of politics. Her reputation, respect and fear are not too high as Jinx's. And she only holds one seat on the council (Caitlin seems to have given her her seat). The rest of the council seats are occupied by Piltover.

[@StanleyKubick1]

you've made 79 videos about stories in video game culture but haven't mentioned Red dead even once, so I can't take you seriously

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

Are you single

[@L.J.Kommer]

Sevika is.

[@ef174]

Shoo...

[@lydiscott]

I heard a theory that she’s hooking up with “Local Cuisine” guy that Ambessa hires in season 1 (AKA Miguel, guy who also appears in that brothel who Babette sends Vi to talk to ABOUT Sevika) lmao

[@just_phaedras]

@@lydiscott Local Cuisine is not Miguel. Local Cuisine is listed as "Gorgeous Man" in the credits. Miguel is an unseen character and very well may be just the guard or doorman of the brothel. Babette told Vi in exact words, "Silco's number two is a regular. I could have Miguel tell you where to find her." This dialogue doesn't prove Sevika is hooking up with Miguel, just that Miguel knows where Sevika might be.
