God I can’t wait til Arcane Ekko makes his version of the Z-Drive. I think it won’t work the exact same way it does in the lore, but still it’s very iconic.
@@rimurutempest4945 I mean it literally shows jinx shooting him, then plays the replay sound effect and moves through the whole fight in normal speed, except him dodging the bullet the second time through. Also it shows him looking at his device thing that he's holding the hextech crystals in right before the fight. My guess is he set a period someodd seconds into the future, where he would flash back to the moment before, and he used the stopwatch to determine when that would be.
@@gabegillespie8172 The sequence is basically a stylistic setup to show that he's the only one worthy of recognizing and manipulating time centric situations like the fight. He doesn't literally use a z drive type device so much as he recognizes and baits jinx into falling for a trap he sets up because he knows what she'll do before she even does it. (Hence the anime like flashback to their childhood fights)
@@gabegillespie8172 In all honesty the way he times it and knows whats going to happen is basically the same as if he were using the z drive to manipulate time. I think it goes to show that ekko doesn't use his ability as a crutch but as an extension of his already gifted abilities and knowledge. I love how the show portrayed him and I hope we get to see the final z drive in action come s2
Ekko in the game universe is so wholesome. He's a time breaking teen who beats ass on the regular but always stops to enjoy the sweet moments of life - like when his parents give him the present.
Ekko in the Arcane lore is badass. Dude not only came the closest to stopping what's about to come, but he also humbled freaking Heimerdinger, an immortal mind who has seen what he thought to be everything
@@OGrupxe I wouldn't really say that he in particular humbled him. I think his entire trip down to Zaun humbled him. Ekko definitely impressed him though. I enjoyed watching the start of their friendship.
"I don't expect you to understand but this is actually the 8th time I've beat your ass. How does a 9th round sound? Ah just kidding, your opinion is invalid"
Seraphine in the music AU of League yeah fine whatever but in the League universe itself her parents are inventors so I would’ve loved to see some design showing both her musical and inventive side. We were robbed! Like I’m sorry but who would manage to have the sparkliest, brightest clothing in Zaun of all places?
@@twentyonetortas5921 especially the "wanna unite the 2 places" and "helping zaun" part when she deadass doesnt do shit, at least zeri did something, zeri went thru some shit and had her neck cracked once or twice to help people and did save some, sera is literally the definition of "doesnt do shit in the group project but still show up in the credits"
For me personally the saddest part of his lore is about the friend he's been desperately trying to save with rewind and who died no matter what. You can see his portrait on the wall in Ekko's champion teaser. I'm not really into this character myself, but this boy somehow hits some strings of mine.
Ekko is a man of the people, he loves Zaun, loves the people, and wants to make it a better place. He's a perfect anti-Jinx, he wants to build she wants to destroy.
Arcane seems to be the perfect “it’s not accurate but it’s still awesome” show. From what I’ve heard it greatly goes off lore. It’s still mostly there but it shows a show doesn’t have to be exact
To be fair they seem to change the lore according to arcane little by little which is a big win for many characters in my book. Just mesh Ekko lores together though.
Yeh Ekko being an orphan in arcane low-key pissed me off at first cause it felt like such a drastic change, but when I saw the direction they were going with his character and his little gang of kids being more pronounced part of his story it all made sense I hope they progress his character more in S2 both physically (like with Jayce) and thematically, I know there's alot to juggle but hopefully he has more screen time than S1, or at the very least joins up with Jinx on her adventures to Ionia/Noxus in the new series
"just as any teenager would" dude if I as a teen had a z drive I would just rewind time and say word for word what the other person is going to say. I would fuck with people as much as possible
I like ekko from the lore more just cause of that one story about his friend falling and he cant figure out how to save him and he keeps rewinding time over and over and over again until he realizes that its a fixed point in time and theres nothing he can do to save them basically discoverying what nexus events are in the most heart wrenching way he litterly had to watch gis friend die over and over and over again until he eventually had to let go
@ got that right, kind of, especially if the deleted scenes between the two of them are accurate. He did convince her ending her life is not the answer, in other words won’t break the cycle. But Walking Away,Jinx may have told him,she was leaving after helping Vi.
Here from Arcane, never played LOL, BUT LOLEkko sounds awesome. I hope they do his lore justice in the show. If they include all this in Arcane with proper buildup, I just might cry.
I hope they'll mesh these two lores for the core universe eventually. Like I would love to him having parents but also be apprentice to the shop guy , let him build firelights and the sanctuary but hide it all from his parents etc.
Ekko spent 50 rewinds figuring out how to beat someone? Damn right he's gonna beat them while flexing on them a few more times. He's just like any gamer. Once you get it down, you go back and enjoy the ease of which you can do it now.
Ekko disliking viktor because he is an adeptus mechanicus fan and it shows how everything is bad/wrong in zaun *proceeds to beat up a person and rewind time to beat that same person for a few "times" *
I don’t know who will see this but I think I found a Arcane Reference. Towards the end of this short, there is Wallart of a girl with goggles, she looks Extremely similar to the same girl in arcane who Heimerdinger made the mini bet blade for her.
Ekko, the lore explains him as losing a friend(s) and being LITERALLY 1 second too late, no matter how many rewinds. Arcane, Mylo and Claggor were kids he was close with, both of which die. What if Ekko was there, just too late. What if arcane Ekko thinks Jinx, Claggor, Mylo, even Vi, are his fault. Granted he was young when *the incident* took place, but to be fair, his parents aren't even present in Arcane so I think it wouldn't be a stretch to think he tries to travel that far back, fucks something up, realizes 4 seconds is the MOST reasonable way to travel, comes to terms with what he's lost and refuses to let zaun lose its spark, working kind of like the Batman of zaun, inventor by day, vigilante, anti-hero by night. Hell they can still work his lore into Arcane by having him find a package with a bunch of money and a note for "when he's finally old enough" and it tell him to use the money they had saved to go up, live a better life than the one he was living, only for him to use it to, instead of head to piltover, buy an artifact from "a mysterious shuriman merchant with really long grey hair" or "finds a book written by an ancient scholar depicting how to see into the future" but Ekko reverse engineers it to crack time travel. Either way, Arcane is sitting on a GOLDMINE with Ekko and Vi, especially with their interactions. Vi, being an enforcer upholds the law, but really just likes Caitlyn and breaking shit, Ekko abhors the law, works as a leader rather than a follower and fixes almost everything.
Another thing to is his character design for the show to me is 100% better than the in game version I mean when I close my eyes and think of him Arcane is what I picture his dreads over one on side some metal bits like some old washer and bolts or other homemade Jewelry in them a worn jacket and a bandanna on his neck with some fingerless gloves It was perfect 👍
God I just GOTTA say, I LOVE Ekko so much more in the game than Arcane. His backstory, but more specifically, his PERSONALITY. So much playfulness and wholesome self-confidence. Just makes Arcane Ekko feel like Ekko in name only
Ekko in arcane is that generic "because of society" while ekko in lore is wholesome , one time when ekko goes home, he ate dinner with his parents and rewinds time on that moment over and over again
@@christiandauz3742 Than zeri and renata going away since zeri saved ekko parents and renata put them to work in her factory. Personally arcane is just another part of the lol multiverse cuz if the void is connected to the hexcore they are gonna champions fast and time travel and dimensions travel. Or maybe arcane provides hints into things that aren't in the game. Like what happened to ezreal parents or if he is half zaunite on one of parents sides.
@@christiandauz3742 As another universe like the mcu is to marvel to much going on for every champion to be in arcane. And eventually someone would have to die cuz they can't have plot armor forever. Plus what happens when arcane end does league stop. And what about the comics and cinematic like heimerdinger in tales of runeterra is pro hextech from the start not in arcane.

As bad as her initial lore is I still believe it can be saved somewhat if they add more stories involving Zaun champs like Ekko.

Fun fact. Sump scavenger card in lor is the friend who died.

Shouldnt be, he is cancer in game
2 years ago
He rewinds not to have fun but because he is a perfectionist, he will repeat them to perfection
ekko is the peter parker of LoL universe
For me is Peter Pan
so this is what eggman meant when he said “i’m going to kill you… and *then* kill you again”
Holy crap I forgot that league made a whole ass cut scene for him when he got released.
Would be cool if Ekko used his Z Drive to save Powder from her trauma

Ekko beating people multiple times for fun is like me whenever I play undertale
‘That look on your face… you really are a freak, huh?’
Here from Arcane, never played LOL, BUT LOLEkko sounds awesome.
I hope they do his lore justice in the show.

I have not watched arcane but i bet ekko is super likeable in it.
Ekko started from the bottom now he’s here
I love that you laughed in here. Thanks for being human vs the usual same voice all video 😁
Heading about him relaying that day actually broke me. Then watching the one who took him in get killed. Poor ekko:((
The weirdest thing is that in Arcane he is taller and more buff, although it is a prequel
Ekko spent 50 rewinds figuring out how to beat someone? Damn right he's gonna beat them while flexing on them a few more times.
He's just like any gamer. Once you get it down, you go back and enjoy the ease of which you can do it now.
Lol, Facts🤣🤣🤣💯💯👍
I love how Ekko uses the Z-Drive. Its petty and hilarious.
Ekko has one of the best stories in league
I appreciate that laugh 😂
As someone who has never played LOL and only watched arcane I still hope they implement this into season two
Ekko as a champion also has the best champ design if you ask me
Literally has the saddest lore now
Ekko disliking viktor because he is an adeptus mechanicus fan and it shows how everything is bad/wrong in zaun *proceeds to beat up a person and rewind time to beat that same person for a few "times" *
Good video bro keep on whit ur vids
Yup my main since first release
riot: erm aktually these 2 characters with entirely different backstories and personalities are the same character now
I really hope we see him more in Arcane I love him!
Can we talk about how badass that cinematic also made Blitzcrank look like such a cooler badass of a champ?
Fingers crossed he gets his Z drive in season two of Arcane
He is a long time favorite.
Dude
That was crazy
correct me if im wrong but one of his biggest enemies is Mundo cause for some reason he isnt affected by his time travel stuff.
Look at the magician card , it's Viktor!
"Won this fight already, doing it again for fun"
Ekko and Victor is very similar but they have only one difference - Victor chose loneliness
Dude hates his enemies with a passion
That’s so Ekko of him to do , beat someone’s ass over and over again bc he don’t like em . need that animated
I don’t know who will see this but I think I found a Arcane Reference.
Towards the end of this short, there is Wallart of a girl with goggles, she looks Extremely similar to the same girl in arcane who Heimerdinger made the mini bet blade for her.
very late respons that cinematic is about 3 times as old as arcane there is no arcane referance , that girl is ajuna his friend who he failed to save
@ damn
Arcane is Lore now!!
Ever since he was brought out in league I thought about how busted his ult would be if it was exactly like the z drive even for a few seconds
Spoiler ⚠️
Arcane season 2
EKKO IS THE GOAT! THE GOAT!!!!!
The historical laugh😂😂😂
I didn't know about him going back in time just to defeat AGAIN an opponent he just beat, just for fun 😂😂😂😂 I loved it 😂
In Arcane Ekko does NOT like Zaun "This is what I've always dreamed the undercity could be like, but I got consumed by all the ways it wasn't"
His laughing like his profile pic
EKKO 🏆
Dass my boy right there
Man can quick save mid fight
Viego: I just want my life back.
Ekko, Soraka, Kindred, Akshan, Senna, Thresh, Zilean, Mordekaiser, etc,.:No lol.
Is it just me or would Keko and that bat-human thing be an awesome relationship?
