You know, Rictus wasn't just loyal to Ambessa, he was just straight up her best friend. These two had a level of understanding that was both personal and professional. I kinda like that touch.
Makes his death all the more painful for her. I know Ambessa is the antagonist here, but I can’t help feel a little tiny bit sorry for her. She lost her son, her daughter is in the clutches of the same monsters who murdered him, her protege whom she likely viewed as a second daughter betrayed her (for good reason of course), and she just watched her closest friend get brutalized to death. Kinda sucks to be her right now.
I like how he is more than just a loyal bodyguard to Ambessa. She seems to trust him enough to vent all her frustrations to him, which is nice bit of chemistry they added between the two characters.
@@WilliamOkOkOk Theres this scene in Castlvania animated series where the MC lost his weapon and he just straight up punched dracula. Dracula knows what kind of people are crazy enough to do it so he deduced it must be a Belmont, belmont got bodied tho 😂

What the hick do you mean RIP big daddy don't tell me you liked this character you know what he has done in the second season of Arcane and let's not forget his scumbag of a mistress as well if anything he deserved to be slaughter by the claws and fangs of vander/warwick and as for his mistress I hope she will meet the same fate just like her top soldier did in the sixth episode of netflix Arcane league of legends cause that was satisfying to see him get torn apart.
@@anitarecount5081 how and why would you two and other people liked this brut character that enjoys killing and belittling other characters this netflix animated series he doesn't deserve to come back like other villain characters in other animated series and especially redemption arc well only same deserve redemption arc but not all villain characters deserve that as well.
@@pablorodriguez_418_okay so here’s my theory nobody knew nor cared about ambessas guard but his presence was always made clear in the show arcane doesn’t do coincidences so the fact that they focused on him a lot camera wise in the first season and finally gave us his name in the second means that it’s likely he is more important than the writers want us to know.
I like how Rictus' brutality on that one dude with blue hair is presented as... well, brutality, almost unjustified. Yet it also totally works. He identifies the correct person to pick from the line and then torture just works.
I think they should have had Rictus say something to Isha, like a “I commend your spirit little one”. She just jumped on the biggest mofo out there and went all in. That takes some balls
@@lucabarnardo6613 I soldati di Noxus sono molto simili ai soldati cinesi di Fallout 3 nell’Operazione Anchorage. Vengono addestrati alle armi sin da quando vengono svezzati…e non fanno prigionieri
The idea that he had runes tied to his spear that could absorb energy is pretty cool, I hope they do more with it because it’s actually pretty cool being outside of Hextech or Chemtech.
@@minnelcandelario6893 I mean in the midst of a war I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t matter anymore when you’re invading the home of Hextech/Chem-tech, Runeterra.
I dont usually like characters like him. But i liked Riktus. He was loyal, he has some kind of emotional touch (you can see it when talks with Ambessa). True that he is an Arshole hitting weaker people and Isha without remorses xd but he never doubted to reach Ambessa's goals. I felt really bad for his dead, like the prision guards, a giant beast ripping apart your guts is horrifying, i cried with this too. (When i was little i was attacked by a german shepherd and the scene reminded me that same fear of facing a beast)
He definitely had that mauling coming for being a fascist but he was very smexy 😍 And it also served as a blow to Ambessa, who truly only cared about herself and her access to power.
It looks like he's smiling when he tells Catlyn "your death will be a deep cut." It made me think for a moment that he might be a double agent, too. It didn't go anywhere ultimately, but I still wonder about that animation choice.
I wonder if he's originally Freljordian, there's no evidence to support this that i am aware of but he sort of has that look and accent. Noxus has colonies in pretty much every major nation on Runeterra, with the largest ones being on the border to the Freljord and in Shurima so it wouldn't be far fetched.
if i recall correctly, Darius wouldn't have risen to power yet since this takes place before the Noxian occupation of Ionia, which we know because Singed was an integral part of that and he only just got recruited. Well i mean i guess he'd still be a soldier at the moment though.
@@throg4657I thought so too, until I realised the implications of Ambessa’s training session with Caitlyn. During that interaction she mentions the three noxian principles of the trifarix. That means that Swain and Darius are already in power because they are both members of the trifarix and swain was the one who came up with it when he usurped Borim Darkwill. This also implies that the noxian invasion of Ionia is already underway because Swain fought in Ionia before he took over Noxus.
I am really looking forward to watching Singed's spicy air deliver Total Ionian Death. If I have to hear Yasuo shouting WASABI one more time, my wrath will singlehandedly revive the failed "Stop Asian Hate" campaign from 2021.
Noxus is based on german tribes , so it's understandable that he looks like a common german warrior ( j4f) , and demacia is based on france and king arthur' s england
True There wasnt anybody strong enough to put this chad down except warwick and he sneaked him so thats even better but i wish he lived he was Just so damn cool
Ok I have a wild theory, but looking at the shape of his halberd and hairstyle, the spinny move at 5:50 and the fact that he's dead, Are they planning to bring him back as Hecarim?

He was an arrogant "successful conformist" normie. Not a bad person, probably, but tales aren't made about such people.

It’ll be interesting to see more Noxus warriors like him in the future

Small detail, no noxian soldier wear back armor as a true noxian never retreats.

Yea but can't they be flanked or backstabbed?
What if they fall or are surounded by enemies?

Mostly standing in the background, being tall and menacing and strangely alluring.

There's a lot of it on noxus specially that they have rune forgers although only the elite can use them
It's actually an item in the game that gives magic resistance, and the runes are a type of magic that is used in noxus
@ I’m surprised they didn’t use it as much as they should have during Arcane because it sounds epic to have.

Do one of Ambessa plis
Can u do all characters all scenes videos like this

I think he could become Urgot

He kinda looks like Pantheon a bit
Funny how in the latam spanish dub he has the same voice as pantheon
