I read a comment saying that you can predict when a character is a their peak of development through their eye color. Blue is when they get their arc. Ekko's eyes were grey and at the end their were a moment where they were green, showing that he'll be developed in other seasons. I hope that it's true cuz c'mon he's too cool to not get developed
To me he wasn't a side character, and with season two coming up and him partnering up with heimerdinger, I'm pretty sure he'll become as important if not more than the others with his clepsydra
I agree, most likely not directly, like, VI will mess up and something big will happen, and Ekko will rewind time so she can succeed the second time or something like that.
My man organizes an entire commune in less than a decade, rescues hundreds of people from addiction and oppression, uses secondhand tech to make them into a formidable fighting force, and is what? fifteen? and super ripped, and they make him a side character? He's everything Silco wishes he could be. Edit: I now realize that he is not fifteen. Sorry I don't have that perfectly right. My point is that, from the time he lost everything to becoming a young man (still a teen I think?) he did more than Silco accomplished in decades. The obsessive well actuallys are quite unnecessary, thanks.
Ekko is such a cool character I like the way he carrying himself as a leader and a badass at the same time he’s definitely my favorite character on the show he steals every scene he’s in.
What’s cool is that in my head he was the last of Vanders family and I guess with that came with the respect that people saw in him. I’m also betting that he earned more peoples respect by doing everything in his power to protect said people
Watching this, it really hammers home the fact that despite what Silco said about giving the people of Zaun what they "deserve", he really was just on a path of revenge and power for himself. If he really wanted better for the undercity, he wouldn't be feeding them Shimmer, using child labor to create said Shimmer, thus destroying and abusing the very people he claims to protect. Ekko gave them a home, safety, and the hope to not only survive the abuse and exploitation they go through, but also LIVE after it. He's everything Silco claimed to be. I do hope he gets more screentime in season 2 because he's the best character, in my opinion.
I never watched any shows til the end because I simply don't like them. I didn't even have Netflix account. Until my friends finally made me watch Arcane with them. Guess who bingwatches it for 5 time already?
Damn the only thing that was hyping me for arcane was ekko, pretty sad they made him a side character while his lore is pretty damn good... At least videos like this will make up for it tnx bro nice editing 👌
My bets are he'll be like Captain America in Endgame. Not necessarily the central character, but the one who just does the right thing for everyone and gets rewarded the most.
@@antwonsworld3435 Don't be disappointed. It's like he said, he only needs seconds. He makes every second of his screentime count and he's still just as beloved of a character, if not moreso. Glorious writing at work.
Hes the only character that lives in the present. Silco is fixated on the future, Vi & Jinx are always fighting over the past, but Ekko exists in the now and because of it was he able to help so many people. What a great character, shit, what a great show. Goddamn i love Arcane.
the differences between ekko and jinx are so similar and different at the same time, its something captured so well in this show, and even better by this video. good work like always man keep it up
I came into this show not knowing anything about LoL except the Jinx in the trailers. Ekko came out of this as one of my favorite characters. He felt, to me, like the one character that could claim the title "Hero" from this story. Everyone else bounces back and forth, Vi is no hero, she's doing this for vengeance. Against Silco, against Sevika. She wants the old Powder back at any cost. Jayce and Viktor start out wanting to do good, but Jayce gets wrapped up in political intrigue and Viktor loses himself to his work, both doing things they wouldn't normally. Caitlyn has a lot to prove, to her parents, her peers, Vi. She "needs" to solve this case, then she "needs" to fix the damage Piltover has done to Zaun. Ekko witnessed his father-figure brutally murdered, his childhood crush go insane and violent, and his big sister figure believed to be dead. Yet he became the leader of a resistance. Against the injustice of the Enforcers, the corruption of Silco. He never once takes credit, claiming he couldn't have done any of it alone. When a Firelight is hurt or dies, he feels it. He tries to save everyone. And even after claiming Powder is gone there is only Jinx. After being prepared to sacrifice himself, entrusting Caitlyn with the gemstone (not knowing it wasn't there), telling Vi to take her and go... he faces his childhood crush, the woman responsible for the death of many of his people. He shows his growth in overcoming her when he could not as a child. He beats her, and could easily end her-- but then he sees Powder. Not Jinx. And he hesitates. A hesitation that nearly costs him his life. I feel that he may have had time to reflect now, the next time we see him in Season 2. He may realize that while Powder is fully Jinx, they are one and the same person. She is just a broken girl, betrayed and abandoned. Left in the clutches of a monster. He can't save her because she doesn't need saving. She needs to know she isn't alone. He'll go on to keep saving who he can. He's a hero, he's no murderer.
Ekko was the best character 100%. Goes from a little kid to the most badass character in the show. His philosophy is such an interesting one, and by far shows hes the person who cares the most for the undercity If we do get a season 2, i really hope we get more focus on Ekko
I have a big crush on him ☹️ every character in this show is like filling up my crush roster . This is super good ur rlly talented I love edits like this
I love all the characters but damn if I don’t want to see more of him, especially fighting wise. His fight with Jinx was one of the absolute coolest in the season.
Pretty good video. I like that you used some of the footage from the Enemy music video. In the show itself, we don't have many scenes of young Powder and young Ekko playing together as kids, which is a shame. I feel like they should have added some, it would have made the episode 7 scene even more powerful. The music video does provide a lot of those though.
one of my favorite characters of all time! embodiment of hope, resilience, and ingenuity 🙌🏾 great video i was grinning from ear to ear the entire time bc of how well-made it is!
There's a lot of talk here about Ekko as a character but these visuals were put together spectacularly, I can tell you worked hard on this, it looks amazing
Yoo I'm having a huge crush on ekko, that's why I'm here. (I started watching arcane yesterday 5th of March 2022. I watched till episode 5. Finished 6th of March 2022 at 20:28. That's an information for me...I like it organized. Anyone else can't have it when you can't remember on what day exactly you started watching a show and how long it took you, what your thoughts were and everything?)
Outstanding video. You captured Ekko so well but additionally and flawlessly showed his immense role in the story overall. That’s some amazing editing. I’ve watched this a bunch of times already and expect to watch it some more. Thank you.
I knew that Ekko was the leader of the Fire Lights the second I saw him. When someone apart of his crew is shot down by Jinx you can see him genuinely in pain, its cause Ekko Values. Life.
You like this? Well, you'll LOVE "ARCANE | Falling in Love" ruclips.net/video/UrPTkeFt_IY/видео.html

Do one on Jinx pls!

Bro Ekko was too cool to be a side character-
Update after Season 2: *cries hard*
That's sometimes the point of what an great side character is meant to be
All in good time, friend. There's plenty of room for more of him in the upcoming seasons :D
I read a comment saying that you can predict when a character is a their peak of development through their eye color. Blue is when they get their arc.

YESSIR
I can honestly see Ekko being the person that will save everyone in Season 2
He has such a good heart for a person that has witnessed so much trauma, he‘ll definetly do something big in season 2
Or season 4 but how far will he go to do that by that I mean the past
He's the hero so maybe
I agree, most likely not directly, like, VI will mess up and something big will happen, and Ekko will rewind time so she can succeed the second time or something like that.
He MVPed season 1
ekko's first words: give me a few seconds
oh my god the details....
omfg!
And his last line in his cinematic " all I need is few seconds "
That's just gold right there
AYOOOO
He needs more screentime in the show man. Hopefully next season.
I am HUFFING that hopium that he becomes a main character!!
He's cooking something with heimerdinger
Honestly if they don't Bing him back I will riot
Bro had a vision
Yup
My man organizes an entire commune in less than a decade, rescues hundreds of people from addiction and oppression, uses secondhand tech to make them into a formidable fighting force, and is what? fifteen? and super ripped, and they make him a side character?

That's such a great comment on how good Ekko is, I was relieved when I read it.
bruh the “AND hes super ripped” fuckin got me
@@nox..thecoolone seriously tho if it's been five years since the pilot episode he's not that old so he's definitely been working out
i think he's like 17 or so
@@catalinaahumada3185 ok, i wasn't sure of the exact age but ig that tracks
If anyone deserves to rule the undercity, is Ekko.
I vote for him.
Fun fact:Ekko's Nickname in Brazil is "Chefinho" that means "Little Boss" in english and he nailed the nickname after being the leader of firelights
Ekko is such a cool character I like the way he carrying himself as a leader and a badass at the same time he’s definitely my favorite character on the show he steals every scene he’s in.
Yes

3:10 He could have absolutely made a one liner there, but instead pulled out the pocket watch. BADASS.
MVP Ekko took on Viktor and his entire army, and won.
Boy saviour for a reason. 🤎🤎
How dope is ekko to become a fan favorite with like 5 minutes of screentime total. Shits crazy!
It was a little more than that but the point comes across all the same
The funny thing is Ekko is an inventor who never create weapons to kill people not like Jayce.
Tbf Jayces weapons were actually meant for mining
@@paleoguy2165 sir for mining really 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂. If I had those gloves I'm not using that for mining sir I'm folding someone with those.
@@afabrown4802 yeh lol but if I watch the series he actually makes them for mining
@@afabrown4802 yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh??
@Theunwantedwings lol who tf is Lupesun
Ekko, and the rebellion he created, is easily one of the coolest parts of arcane. Genuinely love his part of the story

EKKO AND JINX STOLE THE SHOW! ALL HAIL THE BOY SAVIOR!!!!
Ekko is basically the main character in my eyes, yes I know all the characters are important but he's the main story I care about.
Friends keep telling me to watch Arcane. After watching this, I think I'll listen to them; appreciate it man.
Ekko doesn't have nearly as much screen time as he should but it's one of the best shows I've seen
I think you just spoiled yourself by watching this
I never watched any shows til the end because I simply don't like them. I didn't even have Netflix account. Until my friends finally made me watch Arcane with them. Guess who bingwatches it for 5 time already?
Arcane is the best show ever. Masterpiece. Must watch. If I loved it, you'll love it too
Damn the only thing that was hyping me for arcane was ekko, pretty sad they made him a side character while his lore is pretty damn good...
At least videos like this will make up for it tnx bro nice editing 👌
eyyyyy neero plays lol i see
He’s definitely gonna be a bigger character in season 2 when he makes his time technology
Sad? sir it's the first season
No he had the best fight seen i don't think he is a side character
Hopefully he gets more in s2!! Im
The edit with season 2 ekko would be epic..He really is the boy saviour
Ekko gave me major main character vibes, I hope we see more of him in season 2. Vi and Jinx had their turn, now it’s Ekko’s turn lol
My bets are he'll be like Captain America in Endgame. Not necessarily the central character, but the one who just does the right thing for everyone and gets rewarded the most.
Exactly so!
He's cooking something with heimerdinger
@@akhydesrois2716 "Ekko, we need to cook."
Hope he gets his z drive
My favorite Ekko quote is "here's the thing about time, If you can't make the most of any given moment. You don't deserve a single extra second"
This is basically a fancam and im here for it
unpopular opinion: he’s the best character.
Unpopular?
If this is unpopular then they are all truly lost
He is and he deserves it
More popular than you think
Him and victor
best character in arcane, change my mind
no.....change our minds :D
@@bonnyas9998 😎
Yes
Ekko is truelly what Powder could have been. Seeing his anto arc to her arc is so heartbreaking. He is the revolution. He carried on Vanders dream
Impressive work, especially considering Arcane probably had like 5 minutes of Ekko spread throughout the season lol
Was super disappointed to see that, hope he’s more fleshed out in season two while working with heimerdinger on the Z-drive
@@antwonsworld3435 Don't be disappointed. It's like he said, he only needs seconds. He makes every second of his screentime count and he's still just as beloved of a character, if not moreso.

Ima be 100% honest he needs to be the leader of all the undercity he's legit the only one who has been able to not mess up everything 😭😂
I love the way they fall at 1:20
Reminded me of dive bombing.
Yeah pretty dope!!
Ekko is a fucking bad ass and sorry he should have been a big player in arcane...i should say a bigger part. I just want more of this guy.
Ekko was the best character 100%. Goes from a little kid to the most badass character in the show. His philosophy is such an interesting one, and by far shows hes the person who cares the most for the undercity
If we do get a season 2, i really hope we get more focus on Ekko
This is legendary the show was amazing but wish he had some more screentime the character has amazing potential loved every second of watching him.
true but at least he owned every second of his screen time
And now he save an entire series
The true hero of Arcane
I have a big crush on him ☹️ every character in this show is like filling up my crush roster . This is super good ur rlly talented I love edits like this

He always loved her.......he always will
Arcane was my intro to LoL and after just finishing season 1 I’d follow Ekko till the bitter end
All hail the boy savior
Holy fucking shit this was so well done I legit thought league made it. It looks professionally made
That scene where Ekko and Vi hug, after she gets out of Prison, gives me goosebumps everytime, and i have to cry a little
the jinx fight is my favorite part so far
ekko is so underappreciated hes one of my favorite characters
Breh we really need an arcane ekko skin
watch, season 2 comes out thats when we get arcane heimerdinger, ekko, singed, and warwick LMAO or viktor idk LOL
Firelight Ekko is coming!
@@cogendinstuff4081 no mask tho
lame
It's so impressive how they made every single character Look cooler in arcane

0:46 never noticed the masks before, nice foreshadowing
I CAME BACK TO THIS VIDEO JUST TO SAY, YEAH HI IS THE BOY SAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a main Ekko I can say this video is dope, I was looking for a really good music video of him, great work, now this is one of my favorites
Yeah I need him as a main character next season. He and Jinx are my favorite characters
I love all the characters but damn if I don’t want to see more of him, especially fighting wise. His fight with Jinx was one of the absolute coolest in the season.
Definitely my fav character, Ekko best boy
2:20
This gave me chills. Ekko looked up to Vi and she likely inspired him to create the Firelights. In his mural, she's right in the center.
I love how you showed the contrast between who Ekko wanted to be and who he became.
Pretty good video.

so little screen time yet so much character packed in this little man. hes my favorite. cant wait to see him ace season 2
Man this edit is underrated
At first I thought this already had a million views but so glad that ekko is getting the attention he deserves!
People forget Ekko is the youngest of the undercity kids - dude was like 17 and was running a full on community in a city of death
You're so freakin talented- you did Ekko good bro
This is really well put together good job
Ekko is the coldest character out of every series I've watched ever
Ekko is the coolest. I'm excited to see more of him in s2

Ekko needs his own story. He's way too cool to just be a side character. He is also very beautiful 😍

I've always loved ekko as a character and to see this gives me chills, nicely done. 👌
