I read this comment earlier and rewatched the scene in the trailer like "Mh... that's a leap. You can barely see the hair or anything else" BUT I just reminded myself of Jinx's poster from some time ago. The one where she's upside down, with an enforcer's mask or something? And now that would make total sense
Jinx with Green Makeup with her purple,Ekko has Purple X on his armour & is wearing his hair accessory with a monkey etched on it. Ekko & Jinx make Peace. Jinx has new look no more braids & her hair is purple&blue. Embracing new identity. A combination of Jinx&Powder. Powder always wanted to fly an airship. Ambessa Final Boss?. Ekko,Vi,Jinx vs Noxians?. Bigger threats than Jinx.perhaps some type of exile, Jinx heading to Ambessa’s land. End of Jinx&Vi’s story. Next show will be set in Noxus. That would be an interesting finale. Leaves it open where they could bring back Jinx in the far future. In a future League of Legends show. Her hair is now purple&blue symbolic of her new Self a combination of Jinx&Powder. ❤❤❤
I disagree, if she and Elmo made peace and she has a new identity which shows more Powder, then Vi wouldn’t be agreeing with Cait that she is too far gone and there is only Jinx left in her
@@0liviarose1827 I’m assuming , at some point, something happens between the sisters after the fight. Which would get Vi at least to listen, without Caitlyn present.
@0liviarose1827 we (that's me and my teenage daughters) think Vi is defo lying to Caitlyn in that scene, maybe to convince Cait to include her in the enforcer grouping going after Jinx...
This is a great deep dive. I think it has one blind spot, though... I never hear you mention that all of the sequences we see in the trailer could be wildly out of order - even shot to shot - so it would be a mistake to make assumptions based on the order in which we're shown things. For instance, I'm fairly certain the 'emo Vi' in the fighting pits is something that happens in the early episodes rather than something that happens after she becomes an enforcer. She's probably got to hit rock bottom before she rises up. Stuff like that.
I have seen people say also that it’s after and she is undercover since people recognize her but your theory could hold up too! I can’t wait for season 2
Wow, the LeBlanc theory had my jaw drop. That would be so sick if she had been there all along! What are the chances that LeBlanc came with Ambessa's ship and is actually the tall bearded guard tho, since it seems he's always present when some real talk is going down between the characters, soaking up intel.
Right?! LeBlanc is one of the best Noxus characters. I really think we are going to Noxus after Arcane Season 2 and its been confirmed that there is some Runeterra show after Arcane
@@entgrove Agreed. They are setting up a lot of familiar Noxus faces, likely for Swain to become Grand General and invade Ionia in S2. We know this has not happened yet, as Ambessa mentions Boram Darkwill in Season 1 which means with LeBlanc being Jayce's biggest financial backer for Hextech as Amara (the old pale woman from S1), she obviously wanted to push him into making Hextech weaponry that would give Noxus the brute advantage to invade Ionia.
All i hope for this season is that we get at least one episode focusing on the mystery and terror of warwick. We see him briefly in both this trailer and the teaser and i just hope to get some focus for at least one episode on him cause he's my favorite league champion.
My Warwick video includes Vander. If you like Warwick it’s worth a watch! Who is? WARWICK, The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun ruclips.net/video/LwpVfUrgpGU/видео.html
At 14:41 exactly you can see someone inside the weird round Hexcore and kinda looks like Jayce. Also, I think that Piltover will turn against Noxus (or Ambessa in general), because I think Ambessa wants to conquer them for the power of the Arcane. When Vi is fighting along Ekko she has the same armor than Caitlyn too. Ekko is fighting with Jynx themed clothing, so, it seems like an alliance to me. I am almost sure that Noxus will try to conquer Piltover. At 18:08 I am almost sure she is going out of the depressed Vi phase, from what they said in the Annecy. The color stayed in the roots probably because it was paint, and that was the part hard to take out.
22:24 looks to me like Jinx is trying to fire Fishbones at or in front of Vi, but it explodes into pieces halfway through the sequence, potentially because Caitlyn shoots and destroys it with her new Hextech rifle? Also I like the idea of the Noxians or someone trying to misuse the Hexgate, maybe to launch a huge bomb or a giant warship halfway across the world, and that sequence with Heimerdinger and the crazy flashes is him sabotaging the Hexgate from the inside before they can pull it off
I think Caitlin shoots a jinx sometime during her fight with Vi and that’s how she looses her finger and gains the mechanical one we see when she fired pow pow and is on the airship
Ok... my wild guess on what the story will be. Piltover and Noxus will fight with Zaun to death, while Cait and Vi will go hunt Jinx. That's obvious. Vi, through interactions with Jinx and others in Zaun, and maybe even Jayce through collapsing hexgates magic will find out, they've all been manipulated by Noxus and LeBlanc to weaken themselves so Noxus can take the City. Piltover and Zaun will find a common ground and together are going to go to war with Noxians. With use of hextech/magic the war will end with huge consequences for everyone involved. And I hope it will set a stage for the next chapter of League series, which would be story of Demacia and their conflict with magic and Noxus.
@@entgroveThat kid is part of the group called "the inx" It's a completely new group from Zaun who are loyal followers of Jinx, they have different unique members but shared similar blue/pinkish hair just like Jinx including that kid.
My guess is that something occurs, like Jinx actually wins, someone important dies that Vi either leaves on her own accord or is kicked out of the social good graces, and she spends time fighting out in underground fighting clubs to let out her anger because she has nothing left to live for.
@@entgrove also the people being picked up by the magic sphere seems to look like solari people maybe one of them is Mel's ancestor and will connect to the possible magic item mel has on her back
I feel like you had a great idea with the runestones. I don't know enough LoL lore, but I noticed before the boom hit the council, it showed the gold symbols on Mel glow. While this could have been wonderful reflection, why was there no blue tint on her gold? I feel like maybe the Medardas could be descendants of those people who harnessed Runestones, hence; obsession with power. Also, the far away shot at 10:17, it looks like a person exploding from the hexgate, then refer back to the four people being lifted by the glowing light on the gold inlays, similar to the glowing gold tattoo on Mel. I feel like there could be something more there.
About the Vi's hair -I think that in act I she's gonna have her normal red hair, later will go full emo black, and then she'll have some of that black dye remaining in the hair as if it washed off. Also if you pay close attention, you'll notice that Jinx has cut her braids (in the sharkie hoodie). 😳
I think the big round thing with the two wings on its side might be a new Hexgate. The shape is very similar, except this one is made of iron and glass at the lowest point in Zaun instead of gold at the highest point in Piltover Maybe Viktor builds it to form a gateway to another world? The "realm of heebie-jeebies" as Jinx puts it
My prediction was true, Mel´s mom will go to war with topside for weapons and hexgate. If we look closely who are they fighting, they are fighting each other. One of the scene Eco attacks the trops of Ambessa, the mom of Mel. And other scence when Ambessa attacks enforcers, 3 enforcers to be more exact. So I think it is going to be Ambessa trops vs topside, and maybe Undercity will unite with topside, so they can beat Ambessa with their trops. In lore of LOL, Vi and Powder will reunite because of Vander which Is Warwick, but I do not know what that means in term of the war between Topside and Ambessa trops. I think Undercity will collaborate with Topcity.
I'm pretty sure that's not Silco because it would be a terrible thing to bring him back in this show. I do think it's mel's assistant being possessed (?) by Leblanc!!
The trailer shows 3 distinctive time periods. Period 1: Vi have Clagor's Goggles, no dye in her hair, no facial wounds/bandages, wearing enforcer uniform. - This is clearly when she joins Caitlyn's task force to capture Jinx. It failed for one reason or another but rallied the underground to Jinx that eventually culminated in the bomb attack to piltolver, probably to devastating effect. I would guess this happens in ep.3 Period 2: Vi have Black emo hair, leather jacket - This is the point where Vi is in emotional turmoil. We see her venting her rage in a fighting pit and punching sandbags. Probably the guilt of Period 1 driving her a little mad. I originally thought she dyed her hair as a means to infiltrate a gang who dresses in the same style. But on closer inspection, she was just walking around the undercity wearing those giant Hextec gauntlets, so clearly not incognito. I'm really not a fan of Vi dying her hair for reasons of angst. For some reason I just can't see her doing that. She definitely can get sad and emotional, but dying her hair in a bit to show the world her pain just seams out of character. I'd prefer if she did it for practical reasons but its a minor gripe. Period 3: Vi has washed out most of the black of her hair, got bandages on her face, no longer wearing enforcer outfit. - This is the final arc of the story. That moment she says "I'm ready" is from this time period. She has clearly lifted herself from her depression and regain focus in what she needed to do. And she is likely facing threats beyond just Jinx. Maybe Noxus or Viktor's army of "evolved" humans. She teams up with Ekko here. PS: I don't think that character is Ryze.
@@deadmanslastwish I feel your timelines make sense. I am also a bit displeased about Vi dying or painting her hair black. I do hope they come up with a really good reason for it
@@liztornado fingers crossed. I'm hoping its on the lines of hiding her distinctive hair color to draw less attention from raging Piltovens hellbent on avenging their loved ones from Jinx's atrocities during the city bombing or something to that effect.
I think that vi dyed her hair and changed her clothes to get to the Zaun. Since maybe the people in Zaun, already sees her as a traitor since she joined the inforcers. and in the scene where her hair had a fading black tinge, was most likely maybe the dye wearing off from her hair. Loved this analysis vid!
the "hexcore" the four people went into is actually a corrupted hexgate, the child being taken away is clearly not Powder just look at the nose it's yordle or vastayan, the hooded figure in front of the explosion is Jinx or an ally of her since the 2 tassles make it look like Jinx's braids, the blue explosion that the big shield guy and fish vastaya enforcers got caught in is Jinx's base/hideout that now flies and you can see it in 1 frame at the top right corner at 17:30 if you go at 0.5x speed Necrit has a great in-depth video with more accurate lore knowledge
I actually believe in a lot of your theories but there is more for me. (Excuse my english, its my third language but im still gonna try my best) For I think there will be 3 arcs, with first: After the explosion, Vi joins Caytlin and they both try to catch Jinx. They obviously fail which lead to Jinx becoming a symbol for Zaun. Second: A war begin between Zaun and Piltover as the rebellion of Jinx's party took over the Undercity. Thats also when Vi becomes emo and start to fight in an arena. Noxus's gonna join Piltover to help them in the war (its all an acting). Third: I think that the fight between Vi and Warwick's gonna affect her mentally as she will discover who it is so she will stop her fights. She will then take her life back in hand and join Ekko. In this act, I think that Noxus will betray Piltover and start to fight them instead. I totally believe the theory of LeBlanc being the old lady and helping Noxus spy on Piltover (thats why she was passing most of her time in the screen with Mel). Now there is two options: 1. Zaun's gonna keep fighting Piltover which will lead to a total chaos. 2. Zaun's gonna join Piltover and fight Noxus. Which is the most logical answer because if we think about it, if Noxus take over Piltover they will also take over the Undercity. So they will have to team up against Noxus. It's just like in the clip official titled "Enemy of my Enemy" which could possibly represent Noxus. The season will end in the chaos with everyone dead or with peace as they win against Noxus. But knowing Arcane they will for sure make something really sad... Oh and I believe that Rizle like you said in the video is actually Viktor. I also believe that the person with a "poncho" (in the middle of the color explosion) is actually Jinx. I hope it was clear...
Great analysis!! I think Mel will survive the explosion because of her solari armor (and maybe jayce and viktor since they're champions and have a whole POV in this series). But I do think Mel is going to die in the middle-end of the season and that will make Ambessa rage against Piltover, thinking they did that to her last child. We know that she's really edgy and controlling and wanted the power of hextech for herself and her cause but I think Mel dying would be the perfect trigger to make her go wild and out of her "i'm trying to protect you all" disguise! So Jinx and Vi would have to fight together against this threat. I think the season will end with a big cliffhanger tying things up with Noxus and Leblanc as you noticed will play a huge part on it!! Maybe Leblanc killed Mel's brother? Can't wait!
Yooo I went back to it and you’re right it’s exact! 😦 wish I called that out in the video It definitely could be someone other than Ryze but I really hope it’s him. Would be surprised if we don’t have confirmation of who it is by the end of Season 2
To be honest, of every like analysis I've seen in arcane done before, this is the best one I have seen yet, this guy definitely knows what he talks about. @21:00 he mentioned LeBlanc, this is so true, I saw that immediately and realised it. You mentioned that LeBlanc is taking on Silco, I do not think it is Silco, I think it is Mel, the two drawn lights down her eyes, makes LeBlanc taking over to be Mel. Good analysis this video was
Can someone give a theory, or maybe its plainly obvious and ive just missed it, but Ambessa's Hair - we saw her as most definitely very much grey haired. Then with the Gold halo helmet outfit as she suggests military rule, she is also visibly grey but only her crown, the hair tied up in the helmet halo is distinctly black. Shes also wearing gold in this scene, when Noxus colours are red and silver ?? I think. Then, we have her in the scene swinging chains fighting the enforcers and her entire hair braids AND crown are black...?? It cant be a flashback surely, so my youngest, tying the gold we see Ambessa wearing, together with zero sight of Mel, wonders whether this new gold is actually Mel's, either stolen from a dead Mel or severely injured Mel... then we wondered is the gold regenerative, making Ambessa youthful again, hence the gradual transition from grey to black?? Anyone else noticed this and had any thoughts?
O shoot! This is actually a very cool theory and adds to the Solari theory. I really hope they explain all the Solari symbolism in Arcane Season 2 with the Madarda family
Noxus isnt friendly with Piltover. Marada exploited the partnership to take over so she can have more land and soldiers to get revenge on the guy who beat her son
They do have friendly trade relations, Noxian is basically a lingua france in modern piltover, ftom what i understand Medarda is working independent from Noxus
For four years i had to hear people complain about demacia being a boring nation filled with bigots and racists, its enough to warrant a complete reboot of its lore and all of its character's personality to make them "compelling" or "likable". So when someone brings up the idea of rebooting its lore so as to fix it, everyone goes: "what are you talking about", "no is asking for that", "thats a terrible idea", etc. Its "amazing" how people rather stick with a terrible storyline rather then erasing it and pretend like its not terrible when thats aload of bull. So explain it to me then, why does no one want the lore & characters of Demacia to *FIXED!!!!!*

I honestly don’t think the blue and pink haired girl is jinx or the little blue haired girl is jinx. I don’t have that much evidence for the girl with the blue and pink hair but it just doesn’t sound like jinx’s voice actor or a lot of people since they look up to jinx are you gonna try and look like her maybe act like her do things like her because they’re looking up to her. And for my evidence on why I think the little girl isn’t jinx is because when we see everybody looking up to JINX, and all, those blue haired people tapping her shoulder and everything who knows some of those blue haired girls, or boys could’ve been born with blue hair.
22:27 That smoke explosion looks like the silhouette of Janna and it's in the temple of Janna. Coincidence or not but Fortiche cooking something there.
I did not think this video would be 20 minutes when I started but its one of the most packed trailers I have ever seen!! Almost November!
The "random Piltovan enforcer" Vi's carrying is Jinx in disguise. You can see her teal hair tucked into the helmet.
O dang I actually did not notice that 👀

i think mel’s connection to the solari is as simple as her father being solari, noxus is full of immigrants from other regions so it isn’t farfetched
The only guy i've seen care about the fishman enforcer
9:20 the person kicking the enforcer looks like Vi

the "hexcore" the four people went into is actually a corrupted hexgate, the child being taken away is clearly not Powder just look at the nose it's yordle or vastayan, the hooded figure in front of the explosion is Jinx or an ally of her since the 2 tassles make it look like Jinx's braids, the blue explosion that the big shield guy and fish vastaya enforcers got caught in is Jinx's base/hideout that now flies and you can see it in 1 frame at the top right corner at 17:30 if you go at 0.5x speed
Necrit has a great in-depth video with more accurate lore knowledge
Ya I love Necrit, his understanding of the lore is insane 👌
I actually believe in a lot of your theories but there is more for me. (Excuse my english, its my third language but im still gonna try my best)
For I think there will be 3 arcs, with first: After the explosion, Vi joins Caytlin and they both try to catch Jinx. They obviously fail which lead to Jinx becoming a symbol for Zaun.
Second: A war begin between Zaun and Piltover as the rebellion of Jinx's party took over the Undercity. Thats also when Vi becomes emo and start to fight in an arena. Noxus's gonna join Piltover to help them in the war (its all an acting).
Third: I think that the fight between Vi and Warwick's gonna affect her mentally as she will discover who it is so she will stop her fights. She will then take her life back in hand and join Ekko. In this act, I think that Noxus will betray Piltover and start to fight them instead. I totally believe the theory of LeBlanc being the old lady and helping Noxus spy on Piltover (thats why she was passing most of her time in the screen with Mel). Now there is two options:
1. Zaun's gonna keep fighting Piltover which will lead to a total chaos.
2. Zaun's gonna join Piltover and fight Noxus. Which is the most logical answer because if we think about it, if Noxus take over Piltover they will also take over the Undercity. So they will have to team up against Noxus. It's just like in the clip official titled "Enemy of my Enemy" which could possibly represent Noxus.
The season will end in the chaos with everyone dead or with peace as they win against Noxus. But knowing Arcane they will for sure make something really sad...
Oh and I believe that Rizle like you said in the video is actually Viktor. I also believe that the person with a "poncho" (in the middle of the color explosion) is actually Jinx.
I hope it was clear...
It’s clear! And the Zaun joining piltover to fight Noxus would be hype
3:30 This building appears in the Progress Day episode in the first season
Great analysis!! I think Mel will survive the explosion because of her solari armor (and maybe jayce and viktor since they're champions and have a whole POV in this series). But I do think Mel is going to die in the middle-end of the season and that will make Ambessa rage against Piltover, thinking they did that to her last child. We know that she's really edgy and controlling and wanted the power of hextech for herself and her cause but I think Mel dying would be the perfect trigger to make her go wild and out of her "i'm trying to protect you all" disguise! So Jinx and Vi would have to fight together against this threat. I think the season will end with a big cliffhanger tying things up with Noxus and Leblanc as you noticed will play a huge part on it!! Maybe Leblanc killed Mel's brother? Can't wait!
I'm just praying queen Renata shows up
Same same 🤞
This gave me chillsssss EEEE
Arcane Hype Arcane Hype Arcane Hype
Arcane Hype!
The scene of the mage(Im still not sure its ryze) holding the hexcore is 1:1 the scene where he teleports Jayce
Yooo I went back to it and you’re right it’s exact! 😦 wish I called that out in the video
It definitely could be someone other than Ryze but I really hope it’s him. Would be surprised if we don’t have confirmation of who it is by the end of Season 2
Holy f, the leblanc theory is actually nuts
To be honest, of every like analysis I've seen in arcane done before, this is the best one I have seen yet, this guy definitely knows what he talks about. @21:00 he mentioned LeBlanc, this is so true, I saw that immediately and realised it. You mentioned that LeBlanc is taking on Silco, I do not think it is Silco, I think it is Mel, the two drawn lights down her eyes, makes LeBlanc taking over to be Mel. Good analysis this video was
Thanks Kamala!!
Mel would be another awesome choice for LeBlanc to impersonate. Would be crazy if Mel is dead and she is pretending to be her
9:45 This is the top of the hexgate building!
Can someone give a theory, or maybe its plainly obvious and ive just missed it, but Ambessa's Hair - we saw her as most definitely very much grey haired. Then with the Gold halo helmet outfit as she suggests military rule, she is also visibly grey but only her crown, the hair tied up in the helmet halo is distinctly black. Shes also wearing gold in this scene, when Noxus colours are red and silver ?? I think. Then, we have her in the scene swinging chains fighting the enforcers and her entire hair braids AND crown are black...?? It cant be a flashback surely, so my youngest, tying the gold we see Ambessa wearing, together with zero sight of Mel, wonders whether this new gold is actually Mel's, either stolen from a dead Mel or severely injured Mel... then we wondered is the gold regenerative, making Ambessa youthful again, hence the gradual transition from grey to black??
Anyone else noticed this and had any thoughts?
O shoot! This is actually a very cool theory and adds to the Solari theory.
I really hope they explain all the Solari symbolism in Arcane Season 2 with the Madarda family
Noxus isnt friendly with Piltover. Marada exploited the partnership to take over so she can have more land and soldiers to get revenge on the guy who beat her son
They do have friendly trade relations, Noxian is basically a lingua france in modern piltover, ftom what i understand Medarda is working independent from Noxus
This was my understanding as well. They have a strong trade partnership
I can't wait
Same drago!
For four years i had to hear people complain about demacia being a boring nation filled with bigots and racists, its enough to warrant a complete reboot of its lore and all of its character's personality to make them "compelling" or "likable". So when someone brings up the idea of rebooting its lore so as to fix it, everyone goes: "what are you talking about", "no is asking for that", "thats a terrible idea", etc. Its "amazing" how people rather stick with a terrible storyline rather then erasing it and pretend like its not terrible when thats aload of bull. So explain it to me then, why does no one want the lore & characters of Demacia to *FIXED!!!!!*
I have a video covering why Demacia is magist if you want to check it out!

Thanks but i know you know i saw sorry for being angry about it though. Im just gonna keep waiting@@entgrove
Because they need a nation to hate 😂 just like they need someone to hate in Arcane and that is Marcus and Jayce. Ppl are just like that
@@SoloKatOnlyi guess i just hope Riot changes Garen's personality into a genetically augmented sociopathic omnicider with a sadistic sense of humor like Kha'Zix, the humor i mena
@@Rev1n05 well, at least that way Garen's character isn't just all DEMACIAAAA! Sylas and Lux are the champs that I'm looking forward to in Demacia tho
18:30 That is not childhood Jinx, sorry but Powder is very different from this child. I think it's an entire new character.
I honestly don’t think the blue and pink haired girl is jinx or the little blue haired girl is jinx. I don’t have that much evidence for the girl with the blue and pink hair but it just doesn’t sound like jinx’s voice actor or a lot of people since they look up to jinx are you gonna try and look like her maybe act like her do things like her because they’re looking up to her. And for my evidence on why I think the little girl isn’t jinx is because when we see everybody looking up to JINX, and all, those blue haired people tapping her shoulder and everything who knows some of those blue haired girls, or boys could’ve been born with blue hair.
I've been wondering if anyone had any thoughts on who is the one saying "The arcane is waking up" I feel like it sort of sounds like Mel??
I listened back to it a dozen times and I’m still not sure
how do you figure that shadowy figure is leblanc? thats quite the leap
The lines under the eyes is what pointed me to LeBlanc
@@entgrove ah i see you did mention that, I missed it, that makes sense then
2:48 Vi has Black hair here.
22:27 That smoke explosion looks like the silhouette of Janna and it's in the temple of Janna. Coincidence or not but Fortiche cooking something there.
They have hinted at Janna a lot in the mural behind Vi and Jinx in the fight scene. Hopefully we see more of her in Season 2 like what your saying
18:39 it’s a new character! Not Jinx for sure
Honestly it could be. And maybe that’s related to the child scene which really doesn’t look like jinx
22:22 THATS JANNA?
I talk a lot about it in the season 2 teaser trailer deep dive but I am pretty confident that is her!
Don’t see who else it could be
Minotaurs are also not Vastya
True but I have not seen any Minotaur in Arcane
Why has no one noticed J4?
What’s J4?
@@entgrove At 8:04 you can see his face on the flag
IS NOT JINX
Beautiful video 😍 I did a cinematic trailer for the S2 if you wanna check it ☺
Just watched it, great job!
@@entgrove thank you so much! 😍
