xChocoBars Reacts to "Still Here" Cinematic | League of Legends Season 2024

[@hassanmesti1251]

The whole Cinematic is based around Kindred (Lamb and Wolf). In the World of Runeterra, Kindred is essentially the grim reaper. She collects those in death. there are signs of Kindred in all 3 scenes. the Scenes are broken up into Past, Future, and Present. In the Past, Two Demi-Angels, Kayle and Morgana Defended and dealt justice in a Land that would eventually become known as Demacia. The Scene Depicts an area under siege by the Darkin Aatroxx. Darkin were originally ascendant beings but they were driven mad by the void in a war long ago. Kayle and Morgana are sisters, their Mother is an angel, and they both hold 1 half of their mother's sword. They defeat Aatrox. In the lore, Kayle is stoic and brings justice in a very cold and unemotional way, while Morgana is more affected by the plight of humans and reasons that judgement and justice can be tempered. In the scene Morgana drops her mothers weapon and taps into darker powers to fight Aatrox, you can see the disdain Kayle has for Morgana in the quick glance she gives her, even as she takes up both halves of her mothers sword and causes the firestorm. if you look closely, there is an afterimage in the fire that is Kindred. Then you go to the Future, in Ionia, where we are greeted by an Old man version of Yasuo. After he uses his whirlwind, you see many arrows in the sky coming for Yasuo, including a bright one, which appears to hit him, this is the Arrow of Kindred, claiming Yasuo. if you look in the sky, you can also see the apparent shape of a wolfs head. in the last scene, which would be considered the Present, in Frejord, you see Tryndamere, who has the power to avoid death by tapping into his rage via blood magic. He is married to Ashe, a Frostborn Tribal Leader. In the scene, Trendamere is fighting death (literally) by fighting against Kindred (the Lamb and the Wolf). Tryndamere power in game is literally to become un-killable for a short period of time. As the fight goes on, Kindred lets her bow go because Ashe has arrived, and saves Tryndamere. It's not his time to die.

[@TutesMcGutes]

Going a little bit deeper too. You can view the first fight as an immortal who can never die so death will always be there watching but never able to collect. Hence kindred watching from the flames that may cause aatrox to fall back into his sword. In the second fight we see a war torn old yasuo, who has probably seen death "kindred" before and has created it, looks to have put down the sword until he has to pick one up for his final fight. He then chooses to accept Lamb's arrow, instead of fight against wolf and the vast amount of arrows headed his way. Cause we know he could just wind wall all those arrows if he wanted. In the last fight we see an injured Trend being surrounded at first, then kindred come in. This shows the actual fight against death. Wolf shows his fight against the enemies he is being surrounded by, while lamb is showing the fight he is having against his body to stay alive. Thanks to his blood magic he is able to stay alive. I think this was Kindred's first time coming across trend so her head turn was her showing interest in a mortal being able to fight that much against death. And as she draws her bow for the next shot she senses ashe's arrows and knows that death isnt needed there as she fades off.

[@isaac2986]

looks like you and TutesMcGutes covered everything i was about to say lol

[@SupportMainSpartain]

To go EVEN DEEPER Trynd's power of Undying Rage comes from his run in with Aatrox (when Aatrox nearly beat him to death after slaugthering all of his clan) after this Aatrox left him seemingly to die but he awakens unable to die b/c of what seems to be a curse (from Aatrox's darkin blood magic) put onto Trynd by Aatrox (many think this is Aatrox getting his next vessel ready) and the reason kindred left is most likely not b/c it wasn't his time to die but perhaps b/c of the "curse" put onto him making it so he simply cannot die unless Aatrox deems it so...or until they become one and trynd turns into Aatrox (that's my thought about why lamb actually left). And if you think about it a little closer you can see that as trynd is fighting off wolf and lamb (TutesMcGutes was on this path) you can see how as wolf attacks him he sustains damage to his sholderpad which stays AFTER kindred leaves and ashe appears which means he may not have actually been fighting wolf but instead the (most likely winter's claw members) surrounding him so that means the fight against kindred was all in his head (or that the death realm is something someone sees in their mind). IDK tho I can't wait to see what other lore comes out of this!

[@Naturius444]

kindred are not the grim reaper tho

[@lockport10]

"Just like Yasuo" He is HIM.

[@matyy_.]

he him him?

[@Kolokoylokoy]

It's future yasuo

[@jiy0VT]

Sees ice arrow: “It’s Ashe!!” Sees Windwall: “He’s just like Yasuo!” 🙃

[@JASER-AL-DEEN]

Lol, She didn't realize that he IS actually Yasou

[@acousticks526]

I mean tbf, who else has Ice Arrows? Ashe cause she's an iceborn and is probably the only one that has a true ice bow. And at the same time who else has wind walls? Wind technique users and there are probably multiple of them cause otherwise who else would teach Yasuo the wind technique?

[@jiy0VT]

@@acousticks526 yeah but why would they put a random wind technique user that isn’t a league character in the cinematic? Only one champ that has a windwall that’s even been used in previous cinematics, it’s not that complex lol

[@Th3hUnT3R1]

@@jiy0VT Yea but it's not present Yasuo, but old Yasuo which confused even lore nerds like Necrit the first time. Most people thought it's his granddad/master or something first time watching.

[@AtomicPiggly]

@@Th3hUnT3R1 Brother, any actual lore nerds knew it was Yasuo immediately. You know why? The face scar. Only he has that face scar because of yone. It's VERY obvious who it is the moment they show the face even a little bit lmfao.

[@Dren1827]

Why do so many people have a hard time with the time jumps aspects of this trailer?? Lol

[@natanm.v8145]

The time jumps are a little confusing from a first time viewing perspective, now, pair that with the avarage viewr lack of media literacy + lack of lore knowledge and boom, u get people not understanding anything

[@DiogenesXLP]

Dude they are streamers, do you think they can read the description of the video?

[@eardey]

what's more suprising is the fact they don't even recognize yasuo the second time, like the scar on his nose is noticeable and the tied hair like, ain't that yasuo?

[@acousticks526]

​​@@eardey Tbh I didn't even know that was Yasuo until Necrit pointed out the scar on his nose on stream and at that point I've watched the cinematics multiple times on his stream

[@nebojsavelickovic5388]

1. Most people don't know the lore that well if at all 2. This is the first time they do this sort of thing with past, present and future And that's all you really need for them not to know what's happening, it's not that hard to comprehend why

[@utikahk4538]

My favorite quote. " He's just like Yasuo."

[@adriankuban2904]

Canon with Arcane show @Necrit lore video on Channel The whole theme is "StillHere", referencing Kindred who is DeathIncarnate. Whether it's the Past (Morgana &Kayle), Present (Tryndamere), and Future (OldMan Yasuo). Death is "Still Here" no matter whattime it is. You can see Kindred in the Fires of thePast destroying Aatrox, Facing Tryndamere, andShooting a Fatal Arrow at Old Man Yasuo in thehead.

[@SupportMainSpartain]

Kindred doesn't actually destroy Aatrox (this is a common misconception). Aatrox being a darkin CANNOT die so he will never actually meet kindred and the reason that lamb appears is most likely a kind of "I'm always watching you, but I can never claim you". When Kayle hits him with the Divine Flames you can see that Aatrox's body host actually lets go of/drops the sword (who is actually Aatrox, he needs a human host to pick up the sword so he can take control) and that means he get's sealed back into the weapon.

[@HKA-Rendition]

Just some interesting facts, Yasou is NOT killing anyone in his sequence as he stopped using his Wind technique as it only brought pain in the past. Why, just before he picks up the foot soldiers sword, if you look closely, his facial expression is that along the lines of "No.... I dont want to, but I have to", basically he 'sighed' with its instant remorse he feels for having to fight and once again, use this technique. This is why no one dies and even the 'boss', he pushes away with this his stacked Tempest to save him from the barrage of arrows. Lastly, the arrow that comes, this is in fact two things, it's an archers' arrow that is manifested as Lamb's arrow, indicating Yasou is done fighting and accepts his death (why he doesn't Windwall again) and thats why the Wolf eyes remain in the treeline. The other meaning is that Lamb's arrow has no arrowhead etc, whereas this arrow, is clearly Ashe's arrow which leads into the next scene. If you look closely as the arrow comes in, and just before the snowflake comes towards us, you see a circular burst outward, so this is also an indicator on how Ashe found Trynd, thus her arriving at the end to 'save' him by changing his fate and therefore Death disappearing as she enters the shot. Also, if you noticed, Lamb fires two arrows only at him. This is Lamb's way of offering a peaceful end for Trynd who obviously won't accept fate and thus fights the Wolf. Only reason this ended is because he was no longer on deaths door thanks to his wife firing her two arrows into the soldiers behind him, breaking this 'hallucination' he was fighting but in fact, was fighting the foot soldiers (same manifestation as the arrow that killed Yasou). The fact Trynd fights Death every time he is almost dead or about to die from a situation he is in, just adds how badass he is! That fight would go on forever (if he were allowed endless Undying Rage like Kindred is using an endless Resprite - her ultimate, depicted as the dark, blue toned atmosphere overlay that Trynd finds himself fighting in until Ashe breaks this 'illusion') Best cinematic ever! And so many minor details that add so much volume!

[@MindsIris]

Choco: “Oh wow! This legend is literally Yasuo, I can’t wait to see this new legend in the game.”
