If you look closely Cait smiled after examining those ducts, also in-game Swain somehow knows Jinx through their voice interactions, maybe we might see her in noxus? It’s just my speculation
@@buddy2369 they left the deaths ambiguous to: - Play with our grief; we'd buy arcane skins to honor the 'dead' characters - be able to use these characters again in future Arcane spin-offs or sequels
I just want to give Vi a bear hug, in the span of ruffly 23 years she lost her mom,her dad,her adoptive dad, her adoptive brothers, her adoptive dad again, her adoptive dad again again and her little sister
We all know she escaped. Caitlyn smiled when she figured out Jinx escaped. She was in the air balloon at the end. And remember the first scene of Arcane: Powder always wanted to ride one of them :) Also there was a purple shimmer line at the end of explosion...
I view it like this; Jinx's Death is up for interpretation s of right now. One might believe she really did die, and that she finally broke the cycle of killing. Narratively this makes the most sense. Another, which I choose to believe, is that she Lived. A lot more evidence points to this one. There was no reason for them to show Caitlyn looking at a piece of Jinx's bomb, and then suspiciously show the Air Ducts we know can travel to pretty much anywhere in Piltover or Zaun. It's entirely possible that the explosion blew her into one of them and she recovered with her Shimer enhanced body, and flew away on the Airship. This would also explain why "THE END" was quickly placed with Jinx's Handwriting/Style, to imply it's the end of her Chapter in Zaun, and onto the next Horizon.
That pretty much nails it. They would not have shown us a scene where Caitly is looking at air shafts, what would be the point? Other than giving us a hint. And they even gave us three to five "hints"
1:44 check it out, there is a pink streak of light right before the explosion. That's Jinx's shimmer power activating and her escaping through the vent. It is pretty much clear she survived.
She IS ALIVE. You can rewatch a scene at the very end where Cait looks at the cooling vents system in the Hexgate map and holds her signature: monkey's head toy. Remember in season one, Jinx said she wanted to ride one of the big airships? That was the last scene from the episode 9. She just decided to fake her death, left Piltover, and started a new life elsewhere.
What does that change?At most, she is wandering in the parallel universe.Also, if VI is dead in the alternate universe, I think it makes more sense for Jinx to be dead here as well. I think you're being too optimistic. But Riot may have wanted to leave a question mark so that they would please everyone. But I think she's dead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a jinxist.
Ekko is an iodiot for going back in the first place. It was so stupid and a bunch of useless sidequests that contributed nothing to the core of the story.
@ wdym and idiot for going back are you forgetting the fact he had a bunch of people that needed his care and the fact the this isn’t his timeline it probably didn’t sit with him I think you need to rewatch the the episodes obviously you don’t understand his motives
I like how the shiny detail on Vander's eye glistens like a tear, and I appreciate that it wasn't just added as a cosmetic feature. The asymmetry, with the other eye lacking the same pattern, makes it feel more intentional, resembling a tear rather than a simple decoration.
perhaps when Viktor and Vander were getting his life-force I think, Vander must've been crying which was the last bit of what was left of Vander's humanity - long gone.
1:44 *SHE DIDN'T DIE !* Not only she teleported away, but she also drove one of the air balloon she said she wanted to drive in s1. The last shot of the show is literally her leaving Piltover !!!! + Caintly smiled at Jinx gadgets
give me a reason why she needs to be alive? None, because this was a perfect moment for her to die along with her Father that she love, also she needs to die to atone for the sins she committed, also look at her, she was ready to die, why would she try to escape then huh?.
@@theunknown114 im mad that y'all want her to live, she literally have gone through enough, from all those mental issues, the death of Silco, Vander's body being used as an experiment, and lastly Isha's death, let the poor girl rest peacefully.
Jinx is alive. The shimmer dash before the exposion, caitlyn holding the granade head and looking at the ventilation schematics of the tower, and a balloon flying away. She's leaving to start somewhere else.
SHE DIDN'T DIE ! Not only she teleported away, but she also drove one of the air balloon she said she wanted to drive in season 1. The last shot of the show is literally her leaving Piltover!!! + Caintly smiled at Jinx gadgets.
I also think Jinx didn't die, rather ran away. But at the moment, Jinx's death makes more sense than her survival after the explosion. If she did survive, then I hope she has changed a lot and will appear in the next series
1:44 if you pay very close attention you see a pink/purple ray like the ones we see when jinx moves at shimer speed. Also the air balloon at the end is the one she said she wanted to ride, and Caitlyn looking at the monkey face while looking at the hextower schematics like she is trying to figure out if she escaped. By leaving piltover/zaun she is breaking the cycle. Maybe I’m coping but I’ll believe it.
Clearly a detective, that Caitlyn. I really liked that scene in act 2 where she is going through a crime scene and can literally see what happened, Sherlock-like
Jinx would rather sacrifice herself than witness yet another death that would haunt her-first her friends, then Vander, Silco, another devastating loss of Vander, and finally Isha. She’s exhausted from the torment. At least this way, she can die by her father’s side.
@@BuzzinBeatz No, the part where Caitlyn is looking at the schematics of the hextech portal.. just pay attention when she scrolls down on the blueprint
I think she’s alive. In the final scene with Cait, she’s holding the remains of Jinx’s grenade and looking at the design of the Hexgate. There’s a shot where Cait looks at the air tunnel. Cait must’ve checked the site and found no remains, so she checked if there’s any way to escape from there. Coming from Cait who’s so good at connecting the dots at the crime scene, I see that as a hint that Jinx somehow escaped
@@BazKisi she was in the blimp at the end for sure and the jinx graphic effects for the end screen is just a teaser for her to be alive. like powder said in the very first episode she wants to fly with one of the blimps
@@BazKisi why would they even show the scene of caitlyn looking at the vents in the blueprint while holding jinx's grenade if they were not trying to tease her escape?
@@suave-alpaca8412 I’ve been thinking, and I’m glad it turned out this way; it had a very pleasant atmosphere and managed to convey what it wanted to. At first, I was angry with Vi, but looking at it objectively, I understood every character-they’re all great. After all, it’s just a show. Since I don’t have any other friends to share my thoughts with, I’m expressing them here in detail. I hope writing in such detail doesn’t seem weird to you. Still, Jinx stands one step ahead for me. I really like her character. Thinking about it, maybe, as you said, she escaped and left on the zeppelin because there’s a similar line in LoL’s game. Either way, Jinx loses in the end, as she’s no longer in Piltover or Zaun. But the emotions she evoked in us, as well as those of the other characters, will stay with us.
Jinx’s ending felt tragically fitting. After losing Isha, the one anchor she had in her storm of chaos, it was clear she lost her will to live. She carried so much guilt, so much pain, until the idea of living became unbearable to her. Even if the war ended and she survived, I can’t imagine her finding peace in a world that only reminded her of everything she’d lost. The haunting background music in that moment said it all, it was her soul crying out. “Death is a mercy”. Her way of finding peace.
@@twisted_ps2743 If we consider Cait inspecting the structure of the buildings where Jinx fell, and the final scene showing an airship, something Jinx had mentioned wanting to fly in, these could serve as potential hints that she's still alive. Plus, Riot mentioned that they’re open to killing off champions in Arcane, if their storylines ultimately align with their in-game lore.
@@shrixsv i don't think she;s dead , vi seemed too happy at the end .. if you look at the grenade blast you can see a purple trail going into the air duct that cait was looking at in the blueprint..
I'm pretty sure she knew this is the perfect opportunity to fake her death in order to let Vi have a life while she will chose her new path is leaving home and find a new place what she called home
Also another theory that jinx might be alive is when they showed ekko burning a single piece of paper. I'm assuming that 1 paper means 1 death. Since its only 1 it has to be for heimerdinger, the one he actually witnessed died, meaning that jinx might not be dead.
@@sillyness734 You genius!! I totally forgot that when sky got vaporized her clothes and dust was left behind but Heimerdinger just vanished nothing was left behind he totally is alive👏🏾

@@toiubin nah dead. If she's alive then that's a plothole. She doesn't have regenartive abilities. The bomb exploded pointblank. Warwicks got a grasp on her. She may have a bit of superhuman strength but against a Viktor evolved Warwick. She ain't getting away from that blast. The blast triggered for other mechanisms below to blow as well. I believe she's dead. It's the last season of arcane. It's like leaving fans hanging if she's alive and a plothole as big as that. Riot ain't that stupid to create a plothole for their ending. Warwicks alive and is not heavily implied. She survives the blast with Isha. Regenartive abilities. Durability. Warwick is the one that's alive. Jinx ain't got abilities like that. Surviving a blast pointblank with Warwick holding you, not just ordinary Warwick. Evolved Warwick with no humanity left. Then that's just bad writing, fan service and a plothole combined into one.
Guys jinx is alive we have so many details that said she is alive 1the shimmer effect at end at top right 2the blimp that we saw powder said i want to go out of this city in ep1 3the glitch scene at the end 4the last scene with catylin
Bruh y'all keep wanting Jinx to be alive, she's dead, also if she were alive then the writers sucks, this was literally a perfect moment for her to die, with her Father, also she needs to die to atone for her sins.
Around 1:43/1:44 upper right, it's a straight line of light, so it could be her zipping out. She may have been able to survive and just felt Vi would be happier without her, and she could also be free and leave the city like she always wanted. My guess is they put just enough there to give people hope, but didn't confirm anything so that it could also just be seen as her having died.
You forgot to include the scene with Ekko saying to Jinx, "No matter what happened in the past, its never too late to build something new". Got me thinking Jinx faked her death, rode an airship, and started a new life.
I know there's evidence suggesting Jinx survived, but let's just consider this from Vi's perspective. She spent the better part of eight years trying to get back to her sister, fighting as hard as she could to save her- and in the end, she still couldn't.
A lot of theories about her making out alive of that. Objectively speaking, Jinx has no reason to escape her death, she tried to kill herself in the previous episode. She lived just for Vi, to do the right thing and save her sister one last time. As for Caitlin's obsession with her mothers killer, its natural she is haunted by the thought she didnt end the things herself perhaps. Or she needed a confirmation and due to the body missing she still persists. That doesnt mean Jinx is still alive
@@ergohash2517 oh yeah, there was also the humming and the smile. Just thought it was a flashback or Vi humming and the smile was to end it. Thanks for that. Time to rewatch the whole of arcane tomorrow as a final tribute. Gonna miss this
At least now she is togheter whit Silco and Isha She can be happy now Nevermind she is still alive she escaped the explosion whit her shimmer ability. She can do that right? Afterall herself said "No matter what i do, i can't seem to die"
she is alive first when the explosion happens before that u can see a purple line for a single frame ( same as jinx super speed ) second cat see the blueprint there will be lot of ventilation in that chamber where the bomb explode ( jinx escaped through that vent ) plus ekko said before these ventilation spread throughout underground city third the last scene u can see a blimp ( powder said in first episode oneday she want to travel in that blimp ) and we can see jinx scribbles at the end of that scene means she is leaving piltover and zaun fourth i believe jinx is going to noxus ( is a region the next arcane story will be focused i think so) because we saw swain's crow (sixeye) travel along with the noxus ship ( maybe to cure warwick/vander i dont know)
she's not dead she left on the blimp ... she escaped through the ducts.. go back to episode 1 season 1.. she says ' one day she's gonna ride one of those things' also look at the end where caitlyn is looking at the blueprints
1:44 Yep she escaped. there's the pink streak of Shimmer activated powers. She escaped through the duct. She knew Vi would always try to stay close to her, and everyone close to her dies, she thinks. So she made it look like she died, and moved somewhere far away with the blimp.
Guy regardless if she lived from this or not, we’ll more than likely never know for sure and it will be up to are imagination at this point like what happened to Spike at the end of Cowboy Bebop.
In my opinion, this is the most fitting ending for her and I do not believe in her miraculous survival. The plot twist of her survival would simply be unnecessary. I cannot imagine Jinx living a normal life after everything that happened and everything she did. The point of no return was already passed. She paid for the lives taken with her own life, and she died next to Vander who could also never be brought back. It's sad but perfect ending
what's even worst is that she is in fact alive , she realizes she can't be the version of herself that vi wants her to be,.. she feels as though she is standing in the way of vi's happiness with caitlyn knowing that she will never forgive her for killing her mother.. after escaping the air ducts , she leaves piltover on the air ship you see.. in season one she says she one day she will leave the city in on just like that.. she fled because she feels well, she's a jinx ..everything she touches goes up in flames.. .. that's worst that death..
@@twisted_ps2743 well, it is certainly not the worst for Jinx if she decided to live. I understand they don'r want to lose her character because it makes money but the plot with survival is pretty bad imo. She just... oh well it's time to move to another city and live happily? That is really proves that nothing matters for her if she can move on so easily from everything she did. She had to die.
The first time I saw Jinx in league of legends 2016, this timeline Arcane about how she become Jinx and Season 2 is just......... Timeline is so..... Beautiful...... To Beautiful.
i am so pissed off rn, i was what a few hours late to seeing the final act and boom i open youtube the first thing on my feed is this AND THE SPOILER WARNING DOESNT EVEN HELP BCS MY EYES GLAZED OVER THE DAMN SPOILER ANYWAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN THANKS A LOT.
Spoiler alert: Jinx's most likely still alive. 1:44 shows a pink flash moving towards the side of the building, a moment before the explosion, which as we all know, Jinx is fast as hell. This is also supported by the scene of which Cait is looking through the structure of the building at the end, which specifically zooming in on an airduct there, which is a place that Jinx may went through to cover herself from the explosion.
"Never open RUclips if your running late on your show, or better yet, don't open it for the day until you've watched it". Take this lesson to heart because you just missed out on the full experience of the finale.
Guys she’s not dead if you watch the explosion in slow motion you can see a line of pink which is her and when the episode is over and Caitlyn is looking at the buildings floor plan we can see a vent right where the pink line went and the air ship we see at the end has jinx in it (also she’s in the game and 2xko there cannon so of course she’s not dead lol)
Okay. Jinx definitely escaped. There's a flash of purple strike before the explosion and it's only one strike, so it couldn't have been the explosion effect, and when Jinx's speed is enhanced with shimmer, there's purple strike. So, she definitely escaped
Ok ok but I saw someone else point out - we see a small pink streak of shimmer dash away from the explosion just as it goes off at 1:43 - then at the end of the episode we focus on a lone blimp sailing into the distance before we get Jinx's glitches/scribbles come up on the screen, I think they're showing that Jinx faked her death here. I mean I'm not happy about that theory, as that means she lets her sister & Ekko think she's dead just after re-establishing a connection with both of them, but I'm pretty certain this is correct. Edit 1: The comment from madxD144 is golden on this, as through her hallucination of Silco she establishes that she wants to leave the conflict behind; "To get out of the killing cycle is to be brave enough to leave" Edit 2: bobisuncanny2760 also makes another amazing connection to the very first episode of Arcane where Powder says she'll drive one of the blimp's one day Ok I'll stop quoting everyone else now, just some amazing points that I didn't want people to miss if they see this!
Jinx survived. Otherwise that scene where Cait looks through Hexgates design with Jinx's grenade in her hand and then literally ZOOMS IN on air vents would serve no purpose. And Vi seems to be too calm and jolly while such a subject so heavy for her personally is being examined in the next room.
At the end we see Caitlyn looking through the plans of the hex portals and we see the airship flying away towards the horizon which ends with the credits looking like jinx's madness so there is a chance she survived
theres a few bits of evidence that jinx survived; 1. right before the explosion, you can see a pink streak (jinxes shimmer ability) going away from the blast. if it was jinx she wouldve been far enough to survive. 2. Vi didnt watch her die, she turned away and started grieving before she set off the bomb. The writers mightve done this so that even if jinx survived or died, vi wouldnt know that, so her arc will still come full circle and she would have to let go of powder (and now jinx). 3. Near the end caitlyn was looking at the hexgate blueprint/layout while holding one of jinxes bomb trap parts, and then she smiled when she noticed there were tunnels built right where she "died" so she thought there was a chance that she survived. 4. Powder said that she would ride a blymp one day, and the last scene was a blymp flying away. Could be that jinx took that blymp out of piltover and she left everything behind Just a note that these are little breadcrumbs that the writers purposely added to let people interperate the ending, theres no confirmed end to jinxes story on purpose, to leave some ambiguity. I heard some people say arcane wouldnt make sense if jinx didnt die, but thats not really true, because if jinx left everything behind to start over and everyone thought she was dead then its basically just the same as her dying.
This was the ONE death I could not get behind in this absolute cemetery of an episode. Losing absolutely everything and everyone, so much suffering, dying to save her sister. I get it, but I'm tired of characters redeeming themselves just to self-sacrifice in the end.
Don’t worry. She didn’t die. Right as the explosion in the air shaft goes off, you can see a streak of purple going into an airshaft, that’s her using her shimmer powers. Later, when Caitlyn is examining the hexgate, she zooms in on an air shaft, she was also playing with the monkey bomb head, and yes you can say she was smiling from Vi humming but her realizing that Jinx is alive could be a possibility. Also, the airship at the end is a reference to Powder’s line in episode 1 „One day, I’m going to fly in one of those things.” Also, after the airship, if you slow it down, you can see „The End” barely as if Jinx wrote it. Purple streak: 1:45
People will cope with "but the foreshadowing with Caitlyn", but for now... she's dead until the writers summon her back like Vander. Better to keep an open ending like this. Wouldn't want to open the news with "Fortiche building burned down by Arcane fans".
@ yep. And yk, somehow I knew that Jinx is gonna have a little girl (child) Idk how… I just did😂👌🏻 but I was actually a lil disappointed with how they killed Jinx
Theory on why she’s not dead: at 1:44 if you slow it down you can see a very bright pink line go directly into one of the air ducts. And then it later shows Cait looking at the air ducts holding a part of jinx’s bomb (they wouldn’t have shown her doing that for no reason) and then the ending shot of the blimp flying away as jinx said she wanted to ride one. But at any case, if she really is dead it’s beautifully symbolic as she sees death as a mercy.
I'm still convinced she's not dead. I'm probably being dilutional, but at the beginning of the series, baby powder says "One day I'm gonna ride in one of those." she points to a blimp. At the end Caitlyn is looking at blue prints of the area where jinx fell, showing air tunnels she could have gotten out in. THEN it shows the air blimp from the beginning of the series flying away. I think she's on that ship. PLEASE
Alot of you think jinx is dead isn't no she's not yet dead at the part Caitlyn was researching she saw a vent that can possibly jinx Goes thru and we didn't see them burry or even any death ceremony right, and when bi and Caitlyn last scene we can tell Caitlyn knows something, just look at her eyes, eyes can't lie and if you see the last ep were in the last there was a ship flying right? If you don't remember in ssn 1 that ship was the first ever jinx battle scene and if you don't know ekko won't let jinx die, and before jinx fell jinx says " im always with you sis"
The scene at 1:36 where the lyrics say, "This land is a wasteland that nothing could grow," perfectly complements the visual of Jinx looking tearful and hopeless at Vander. It symbolizes her realization that there’s no way to restore Vander’s humanity. The "wasteland" represents not just the physical desolation but also the emotional void in Jinx's heart. Her tearful gaze at Vander reflects her despair, as she knows that despite her efforts, some things are beyond saving-just like the barren land described in the song.
There's no debate, she is dead. Everything was written to this moment. There is no need to convince ourselves that somehow she survived and run a way from her sister and everyone else afterwards.
yep she is alive, I thought she died at first and I watch the last scene again and it makes sense. in the game lore she didn't die, If a character dies Riot will remove her from LOL
@@Elobama6969 im not sure about ambessa but her character just added to the game unless Riot will change the rules of keeping the characters in the game but died in arcane, we will never know. What if there is a twist that in the new story, ambessa or other characters will appear.
I read that many people would like things to stay this way, because that was "the perfect moment" for Jinx to die, but i really think she survived (I can tell from Catelyn's scene and the air baloon too). Personally I would have accepted his death without any problems, but I also like the idea that she is alive. She was "the jinx" that ruined the lives of people she cared most. Jinx knows that until she is around, Vi and the others can't get the "happy ending" that they deserves. She's caused too much trouble in Piltover/Zaun, and she's done with that, so she decide to leaves pretending to be dead. I mean, whether she is dead or alive, she "broke the cycle". But if she survived, i like the idea that she can finally use her talent to built instead of destory, like Victor said. PS: Also c'mon, we already had the "heart breaking death" with Isha.
Too many things hinting she's alive, a single pink streak just at the start of the explosion, Caitlyn looking at the air ducts with the monkey bomb, the airship leaving (same type that powder said she'd ride one day) and the screen glitch at the end.

If you seen the whole season 2, You know that jinx has ekko now. When she first tried to die she was feeling so suicidal but ekko kept her from killing herself and jinx came back online to save vi.
as soon as i saw Jinx, Vi, and Vander in this scene... i instantly started tearing up and when i saw Jinx push Vander but then also hang on to the ledge.... i started crying so much because she was my most favorite character that i LOVED so so much... i don't know how long i cried but i know it was a long time and i was just repeating 'why would they do this to me', 'why would y'all do that', and 'why would y'all kill her' all while crying... it broke me so hard... this is the best show of all time because it was the first show to ever make me care and cry so much for a character that i loved for the first time in a long time...
People are saying that jinx escaped in 1:44 and i do get why (the purple line-ish thing showing that jinx escaped , according to some) But if jinx really was still alive , why did she shed tears before pulling the pin of the bomb ? That's 1 hint which makes me feel that jinx was gone the moment the explosion happened . This is just my opinion or from my point of view. Some people are saying in the comments that the bomb wouldn't be enough to kill vander (in his idk what form) , this is just a theory of mine which can most likely be not true and accurate , but have you guys not seen how Viktor's army of corrupted hextech 'robots' (lets just call the bald white figures this) shutdown or di3 down the moment the scenario between viktor and jayce ended? I am just assuming that the same will happen to vander once he receives the slightest of damage. Im trying to state my explanation as clear as i can , but i do feel that my theory of vander dying is -- shaky and very unlikely to be true.
Yeah I think Jinx was really ready to die. She mentioned it many times in S2 and she was going to do it in the beginning of the same episode so, why did she change her mind? Faking her death is maybe a way for her to "kill Jinx" the same way as she was saying that "Powder is dead" but why?
am i the only one who thought E9 was rushed ?! like everything was going down then i took a look at the timer left and thought oh boy ... and oh boy indeed , this whole Episode could have been at least 1 or max 2 more Episodes but they had to end it right ?.... The whole "oh you like this character? DEAD. how about this one? DEAD, oh you thought he/she will survive? DEAD, the whole Vander FLashbacks in this Episode was just so ...meh , predictable , boring, repeated, and just bad...... E7 & E8 was perfect hands down 10/10 but E9 .... idk
This was supposed to be the most amazing animated show i ever saw and it was until season 2 arc 3 it was rushed and half the time you don't understand nothing they could of done it a lot better fo fuck sake just for fuck sake the end also was meaningless Jinx death was not necessary at all its like they just give up till the end or that it was just impossible for them to make a satisfied end for this amazing show i got excited for introduce this show to everyone i know but after this it will be painful. Kill me
u lot are sufferening for a disease : "More, more, moooore" disease even if they added 2 others episode u wouldn't still be satisfied it's like a last dose of cocaine
It shows Caitlyn looking at the Blueprints of Building and it zooms in a vent. And when Jinx hugs Vender, it shows a big vent next to them. Also, the ship at the end is Jinx's. Yup, Jinx is alive.
LITERALLY NOBODY IS DEAD EXCEPT AMBESSA. Viktor, Jayce, Ekko, and Heimer all got transported to another dimension just like what happened with ekko and heimer in the parallel world- It looks exactly the same. Warwick/Vander isn't dead because he's warwick, and we know that he's basically unkillable. Jinx isn't dead because we see.... 1. right as the explosion goes off, a purple streak dashes towards the upper right of the screen. 2. Caitlyn is looking at the vents right after that scene happens. 3. We see an airship leaving piltover after that(and we know powder said she's going to ride one of those one day in season 1). Additionally, we know Jinx and Vander/Warwick aren't dead because, when ti comes to the directing of the show, their death scene wasn't drawn out enough. If they actually died we would've gotten a longer death scene where the last bits of vander come out of warwick and say to jinx "I forgive you" or something like that. Everyone is obviously still alive.
JINX didnt die at 1:45 before the explosion you can see jinx shimmer dashing away from the explosion, which probably explains caitlyn smilling looking at the air ducts she must have escaped from also the air ship last scene which powder said at s1 that one day she will ride one and the last scene of arcane is a flying air ship. (You can lower the speed at 1:45 to see the shimmer dashing away from the explosion.)
She’s alive. You can see a streak of shimmer shoot out before the explosion. Also Cait was looking at blueprints examining the shaft and tunnels later.
Jinx survived but she had to fake her death in the end so Vi can move on with her life without that constant chase to find her sister. When Vander blows the candle we see that purple shimmer flash to the top right then explosion. Jinx flys that airballon far away from this place.
Yep, I'll rot in my room and cry forever
Or Riot, if you prefer
jinx isn't dead , she fled on the airship at the end , you can see caityln going over the blueprints for the tower , there was an air duct..
All I wish is Ekko & Powder/Jinx could be together. In another timeline, I guess they could be truly together.😥
If you look closely Cait smiled after examining those ducts, also in-game Swain somehow knows Jinx through their voice interactions, maybe we might see her in noxus? It’s just my speculation
Can i join

Well, she's dead now
True, she escaped the explosion with her shimmer ability
@SaguntoYT no, she isn't watch the video at 0.25x when the explosion happened. You can see her shimmer effect going to the top right corner, and when
@@R0ONALDOOOO7 And indeed
No, she been shimmer. The mutation will survive. Singed always win.
We all know she escaped. Caitlyn smiled when she figured out Jinx escaped. She was in the air balloon at the end. And remember the first scene of Arcane: Powder always wanted to ride one of them :) Also there was a purple shimmer line at the end of explosion...
Its not jinx balloon
Its new caracter from new Series

Jinx not dead. opening ending
I’m pretty sure, powder and vander died but there counterparts are still alive and causing havoc 😅
Same bro , jinx was my favorite from all the series 😍
I view it like this; Jinx's Death is up for interpretation s of right now.
One might believe she really did die, and that she finally broke the cycle of killing. Narratively this makes the most sense.
Another, which I choose to believe, is that she Lived. A lot more evidence points to this one. There was no reason for them to show Caitlyn looking at a piece of Jinx's bomb, and then suspiciously show the Air Ducts we know can travel to pretty much anywhere in Piltover or Zaun. It's entirely possible that the explosion blew her into one of them and she recovered with her Shimer enhanced body, and flew away on the Airship. This would also explain why "THE END" was quickly placed with Jinx's Handwriting/Style, to imply it's the end of her Chapter in Zaun, and onto the next Horizon.
That pretty much nails it.
They would not have shown us a scene where Caitly is looking at air shafts, what would be the point?
Other than giving us a hint.
And they even gave us three to five "hints"
1:44 check it out, there is a pink streak of light right before the explosion. That's Jinx's shimmer power activating and her escaping through the vent. It is pretty much clear she survived.
its not open to interpretation, if you watch the explosion you can actually see her shimmer trail before the explosion goes off. 1:43 in this video.
Not mention Ekko's talk with Jinx!
She IS ALIVE. You can rewatch a scene at the very end where Cait looks at the cooling vents system in the Hexgate map and holds her signature: monkey's head toy. Remember in season one, Jinx said she wanted to ride one of the big airships? That was the last scene from the episode 9. She just decided to fake her death, left Piltover, and started a new life elsewhere.
I hope so... I cry all the time when I see this screen.
What does that change?At most, she is wandering in the parallel universe.Also, if VI is dead in the alternate universe, I think it makes more sense for Jinx to be dead here as well. I think you're being too optimistic. But Riot may have wanted to leave a question mark so that they would please everyone. But I think she's dead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a jinxist.
That’s such a cope 😂
@@BazKisi shes not dead, don't be dumb, she is the poster child of the game and lots of people really want her to meet lux
She was transported to summoners rift
In conclusion: Vi has NEVER caught a break. Not once in her life for longer than like, a damn day.
Vi did not try to take away her own life like how Jinx did, many times with Ekkos reset, Jinx was the one with most suffering.
Bro she was having lesbian sex while jinx was trying to take her own life
I couldn’t stop pleading/begging for Ekko to save her…
Bro same in the slow mo I was sitting there praying to all gods that some fast green stuff will flash and ekko would catch her
Ekko is an iodiot for going back in the first place. It was so stupid and a bunch of useless sidequests that contributed nothing to the core of the story.
@ wdym and idiot for going back are you forgetting the fact he had a bunch of people that needed his care and the fact the this isn’t his timeline it probably didn’t sit with him I think you need to rewatch the the episodes obviously you don’t understand his motives
@@SaguntoYTbro if he didn’t go back the paradox would continue
Omg same.
Using my X-ray vision, I’ve concluded that Jinx, Ekko, and Isha are on that ship going to Disneyland.
I like how the shiny detail on Vander's eye glistens like a tear, and I appreciate that it wasn't just added as a cosmetic feature. The asymmetry, with the other eye lacking the same pattern, makes it feel more intentional, resembling a tear rather than a simple decoration.
perhaps when Viktor and Vander were getting his life-force I think, Vander must've been crying which was the last bit of what was left of Vander's humanity - long gone.
1:44 *SHE DIDN'T DIE !* Not only she teleported away, but she also drove one of the air balloon she said she wanted to drive in s1. The last shot of the show is literally her leaving Piltover !!!! + Caintly smiled at Jinx gadgets
give me a reason why she needs to be alive? None, because this was a perfect moment for her to die along with her Father that she love, also she needs to die to atone for the sins she committed, also look at her, she was ready to die, why would she try to escape then huh?.
@@CheshireFcan’t tell if your mad or not
@@CheshireF It's not like i absolutely want her to die. I'm just stating the obvious
@@theunknown114 im mad that y'all want her to live, she literally have gone through enough, from all those mental issues, the death of Silco, Vander's body being used as an experiment, and lastly Isha's death, let the poor girl rest peacefully.
Jinx is alive. The shimmer dash before the exposion, caitlyn holding the granade head and looking at the ventilation schematics of the tower, and a balloon flying away. She's leaving to start somewhere else.
SHE DIDN'T DIE ! Not only she teleported away, but she also drove one of the air balloon she said she wanted to drive in season 1. The last shot of the show is literally her leaving Piltover!!! + Caintly smiled at Jinx gadgets.
at this point we find any way to cope but I THINK SO TOO, SHE CANT JUST DIE LIKE THAT
If you look at the scene where they are looking at the blueprints of the building, there is pipes leading off cooling system and ventilation.
I also think Jinx didn't die, rather ran away. But at the moment, Jinx's death makes more sense than her survival after the explosion. If she did survive, then I hope she has changed a lot and will appear in the next series
@@skvissonyoutube1364we’re not getting another season. This is the end, she’s dead.
@@zoerose6194 ??? riot is going to do more shows
1:44 if you pay very close attention you see a pink/purple ray like the ones we see when jinx moves at shimer speed. Also the air balloon at the end is the one she said she wanted to ride, and Caitlyn looking at the monkey face while looking at the hextower schematics like she is trying to figure out if she escaped. By leaving piltover/zaun she is breaking the cycle.
Maybe I’m coping but I’ll believe it.
Clearly a detective, that Caitlyn. I really liked that scene in act 2 where she is going through a crime scene and can literally see what happened, Sherlock-like
whatever u said is prob right cause in the lore jinx meets with lux in demacia
Good catch
@vibxsz6306 Where can I read/watch that? I have been searching, and all I can find is either wildrift cinematic or starguardian
@@julianavenger9748 type in google league of legends lore and go to the official site which have every champs and every regions lore
Jinx would rather sacrifice herself than witness yet another death that would haunt her-first her friends, then Vander, Silco, another devastating loss of Vander, and finally Isha. She’s exhausted from the torment. At least this way, she can die by her father’s side.
That pretty much sums it up. I wanted her to live but MAN I can't deny that her ending was written well.
She didn't die tho
Also she's pretty much suicidal since the begin of ss2 (tried to drown herself when saying goodbye to Silko)
Except she didn’t. Try watching every single minute of the episode.
@@cameronmcewen9666 I haven't watched it yet

@@BuzzinBeatzThank you! By far the worst act of all series
Maybe she put the grenade on warwicks mouth so he will let go of her
I think she’s alive. In the final scene with Cait, she’s holding the remains of Jinx’s grenade and looking at the design of the Hexgate. There’s a shot where Cait looks at the air tunnel. Cait must’ve checked the site and found no remains, so she checked if there’s any way to escape from there. Coming from Cait who’s so good at connecting the dots at the crime scene, I see that as a hint that Jinx somehow escaped
@@BazKisi she was in the blimp at the end for sure and the jinx graphic effects for the end screen is just a teaser for her to be alive. like powder said in the very first episode she wants to fly with one of the blimps

@@suave-alpaca8412
I’ve been thinking, and I’m glad it turned out this way; it had a very pleasant atmosphere and managed to convey what it wanted to. At first, I was angry with Vi, but looking at it objectively, I understood every character-they’re all great. After all, it’s just a show. Since I don’t have any other friends to share my thoughts with, I’m expressing them here in detail. I hope writing in such detail doesn’t seem weird to you. Still, Jinx stands one step ahead for me. I really like her character. Thinking about it, maybe, as you said, she escaped and left on the zeppelin because there’s a similar line in LoL’s game. Either way, Jinx loses in the end, as she’s no longer in Piltover or Zaun. But the emotions she evoked in us, as well as those of the other characters, will stay with us.
But in the end im really happy they got close again as sisters.
Jinx’s ending felt tragically fitting. After losing Isha, the one anchor she had in her storm of chaos, it was clear she lost her will to live. She carried so much guilt, so much pain, until the idea of living became unbearable to her. Even if the war ended and she survived, I can’t imagine her finding peace in a world that only reminded her of everything she’d lost. The haunting background music in that moment said it all, it was her soul crying out. “Death is a mercy”. Her way of finding peace.
yea but she's not dead .. she fled on the blimp at the end
@@twisted_ps2743 If we consider Cait inspecting the structure of the buildings where Jinx fell, and the final scene showing an airship, something Jinx had mentioned wanting to fly in, these could serve as potential hints that she's still alive. Plus, Riot mentioned that they’re open to killing off champions in Arcane, if their storylines ultimately align with their in-game lore.
@@shrixsv i don't think she;s dead , vi seemed too happy at the end .. if you look at the grenade blast you can see a purple trail going into the air duct that cait was looking at in the blueprint..

I'm pretty sure she knew this is the perfect opportunity to fake her death in order to let Vi have a life while she will chose her new path is leaving home and find a new place what she called home
Also another theory that jinx might be alive is when they showed ekko burning a single piece of paper. I'm assuming that 1 paper means 1 death. Since its only 1 it has to be for heimerdinger, the one he actually witnessed died, meaning that jinx might not be dead.
Heimerdinger isn’t dead he most likely got transported to another timeline

I believe she's dead. It's the last season of arcane. It's like leaving fans hanging if she's alive and a plothole as big as that. Riot ain't that stupid to create a plothole for their ending.
Warwicks alive and is not heavily implied. She survives the blast with Isha. Regenartive abilities. Durability. Warwick is the one that's alive. Jinx ain't got abilities like that. Surviving a blast pointblank with Warwick holding you, not just ordinary Warwick. Evolved Warwick with no humanity left. Then that's just bad writing, fan service and a plothole combined into one.

where is the shimmer
@@gladge2665replay it back until you see the pink glowing thingy
Around 1:43/1:44 upper right, it's a straight line of light, so it could be her zipping out. She may have been able to survive and just felt Vi would be happier without her, and she could also be free and leave the city like she always wanted. My guess is they put just enough there to give people hope, but didn't confirm anything so that it could also just be seen as her having died.
You forgot to include the scene with Ekko saying to Jinx, "No matter what happened in the past, its never too late to build something new". Got me thinking Jinx faked her death, rode an airship, and started a new life.
I know there's evidence suggesting Jinx survived, but let's just consider this from Vi's perspective.
She spent the better part of eight years trying to get back to her sister, fighting as hard as she could to save her- and in the end, she still couldn't.
I'm gonna take a shower and cry thanks Arcane

@@kngdreezy337 You can satisfy everyone. Just let him slide bro =)))
Ekko just literally saved jinx from self die. Catch him a break holy crap bruh
A lot of theories about her making out alive of that.
Objectively speaking, Jinx has no reason to escape her death, she tried to kill herself in the previous episode. She lived just for Vi, to do the right thing and save her sister one last time.
As for Caitlin's obsession with her mothers killer, its natural she is haunted by the thought she didnt end the things herself perhaps. Or she needed a confirmation and due to the body missing she still persists. That doesnt mean Jinx is still alive
Fr that's what im thinking! This guys cant accept that her death is prominent.
Cait got over her mother's death. When she visits Jinx in prison, she says "By hating you, I hated myself", meaning she did manage to let go.
So, it was Cait and Vi on the airship? I'm still confused on the end scene
powder said in S1E1 that one day she was gonna fly one of those things, seems kinda foreshadowed , that last shot of the airship cant be random
@@ergohash2517 oh yeah, there was also the humming and the smile. Just thought it was a flashback or Vi humming and the smile was to end it. Thanks for that. Time to rewatch the whole of arcane tomorrow as a final tribute. Gonna miss this
I very rarely cry watching media, but this did it for me.
Arcane is one of the best shows I've ever watched
At least now she is togheter whit Silco and Isha
She can be happy now
Nevermind she is still alive she escaped the explosion whit her shimmer ability. She can do that right?
Afterall herself said
"No matter what i do, i can't seem to die"
she is alive first when the explosion happens before that u can see a purple line for a single frame ( same as jinx super speed )
second cat see the blueprint there will be lot of ventilation in that chamber where the bomb explode ( jinx escaped through that vent ) plus ekko said before these ventilation spread throughout underground city
third the last scene u can see a blimp ( powder said in first episode oneday she want to travel in that blimp ) and we can see jinx scribbles at the end of that scene means she is leaving piltover and zaun
fourth i believe jinx is going to noxus ( is a region the next arcane story will be focused i think so) because we saw swain's crow (sixeye) travel along with the noxus ship ( maybe to cure warwick/vander i dont know)
She went out like she lived: *in a powerful explosion* 😢
she's not dead she left on the blimp ... she escaped through the ducts.. go back to episode 1 season 1.. she says ' one day she's gonna ride one of those things' also look at the end where caitlyn is looking at the blueprints
Jinx was sacrificed to save Vi and the others before she got exploded from the Hextech Core
1:44 Yep she escaped. there's the pink streak of Shimmer activated powers. She escaped through the duct. She knew Vi would always try to stay close to her, and everyone close to her dies, she thinks. So she made it look like she died, and moved somewhere far away with the blimp.
Guy regardless if she lived from this or not, we’ll more than likely never know for sure and it will be up to are imagination at this point like what happened to Spike at the end of Cowboy Bebop.
In my opinion, this is the most fitting ending for her and I do not believe in her miraculous survival. The plot twist of her survival would simply be unnecessary. I cannot imagine Jinx living a normal life after everything that happened and everything she did. The point of no return was already passed. She paid for the lives taken with her own life, and she died next to Vander who could also never be brought back. It's sad but perfect ending
1:44
what's even worst is that she is in fact alive , she realizes she can't be the version of herself that vi wants her to be,.. she feels as though she is standing in the way of vi's happiness with caitlyn knowing that she will never forgive her for killing her mother.. after escaping the air ducts , she leaves piltover on the air ship you see.. in season one she says she one day she will leave the city in on just like that.. she fled because she feels well, she's a jinx ..everything she touches goes up in flames.. .. that's worst that death..
@@twisted_ps2743 well, it is certainly not the worst for Jinx if she decided to live. I understand they don'r want to lose her character because it makes money but the plot with survival is pretty bad imo. She just... oh well it's time to move to another city and live happily? That is really proves that nothing matters for her if she can move on so easily from everything she did. She had to die.
One biggest debate gonna be whether Jinx die or not.
so many more clues point towards her alive
I made a list of theories on her survival, it’s pretty long actually. I have hope she’s alive
there is no debate lol shes alive

Jinx: Hey, Violet? Maybe you are better off without me.
i am so pissed off rn, i was what a few hours late to seeing the final act and boom i open youtube the first thing on my feed is this AND THE SPOILER WARNING DOESNT EVEN HELP BCS MY EYES GLAZED OVER THE DAMN SPOILER ANYWAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN THANKS A LOT.
Spoiler alert:
Jinx's most likely still alive. 1:44 shows a pink flash moving towards the side of the building, a moment before the explosion, which as we all know, Jinx is fast as hell. This is also supported by the scene of which Cait is looking through the structure of the building at the end, which specifically zooming in on an airduct there, which is a place that Jinx may went through to cover herself from the explosion.
Joke's on you bruh....looks like you are new in the "avoiding spoilers" genre
"Never open RUclips if your running late on your show, or better yet, don't open it for the day until you've watched it". Take this lesson to heart because you just missed out on the full experience of the finale.
@@aljoxandremalayo😭
If you want to watch a final episode of a popular show don't open RUclips watch it first then open RUclips 🤦🏾♀️
Guys she’s not dead if you watch the explosion in slow motion you can see a line of pink which is her and when the episode is over and Caitlyn is looking at the buildings floor plan we can see a vent right where the pink line went and the air ship we see at the end has jinx in it (also she’s in the game and 2xko there cannon so of course she’s not dead lol)
2:09 please tell me that isn’t Vi screaming
It is
Sadly, I think it is! 😭😭
it is and by the looks of it she was there all alone for hours mourning her sisters death cuz you can see the sun go down
Okay. Jinx definitely escaped. There's a flash of purple strike before the explosion and it's only one strike, so it couldn't have been the explosion effect, and when Jinx's speed is enhanced with shimmer, there's purple strike. So, she definitely escaped
Ok ok but I saw someone else point out - we see a small pink streak of shimmer dash away from the explosion just as it goes off at 1:43 - then at the end of the episode we focus on a lone blimp sailing into the distance before we get Jinx's glitches/scribbles come up on the screen, I think they're showing that Jinx faked her death here.
I mean I'm not happy about that theory, as that means she lets her sister & Ekko think she's dead just after re-establishing a connection with both of them, but I'm pretty certain this is correct.
Edit 1: The comment from madxD144 is golden on this, as through her hallucination of Silco she establishes that she wants to leave the conflict behind; "To get out of the killing cycle is to be brave enough to leave"
Edit 2: bobisuncanny2760 also makes another amazing connection to the very first episode of Arcane where Powder says she'll drive one of the blimp's one day
Ok I'll stop quoting everyone else now, just some amazing points that I didn't want people to miss if they see this!
I've still got mascara down my face. I AM NOT OKAY WHATT 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
This show and everyone behind this man. Just....😢
Jinx survived. Otherwise that scene where Cait looks through Hexgates design with Jinx's grenade in her hand and then literally ZOOMS IN on air vents would serve no purpose.
And Vi seems to be too calm and jolly while such a subject so heavy for her personally is being examined in the next room.
At the end we see Caitlyn looking through the plans of the hex portals and we see the airship flying away towards the horizon which ends with the credits looking like jinx's madness so there is a chance she survived
Guys she’s not dead, u can literally see the shimmer trail from her eyes shooting away as the explosion goes off.
No Sacrifice No Victory
- Optimus Prime (Transformers Bayverse)
theres a few bits of evidence that jinx survived;
1. right before the explosion, you can see a pink streak (jinxes shimmer ability) going away from the blast. if it was jinx she wouldve been far enough to survive.
2. Vi didnt watch her die, she turned away and started grieving before she set off the bomb. The writers mightve done this so that even if jinx survived or died, vi wouldnt know that, so her arc will still come full circle and she would have to let go of powder (and now jinx).
3. Near the end caitlyn was looking at the hexgate blueprint/layout while holding one of jinxes bomb trap parts, and then she smiled when she noticed there were tunnels built right where she "died" so she thought there was a chance that she survived.
4. Powder said that she would ride a blymp one day, and the last scene was a blymp flying away. Could be that jinx took that blymp out of piltover and she left everything behind
Just a note that these are little breadcrumbs that the writers purposely added to let people interperate the ending, theres no confirmed end to jinxes story on purpose, to leave some ambiguity.
I heard some people say arcane wouldnt make sense if jinx didnt die, but thats not really true, because if jinx left everything behind to start over and everyone thought she was dead then its basically just the same as her dying.
This was the ONE death I could not get behind in this absolute cemetery of an episode. Losing absolutely everything and everyone, so much suffering, dying to save her sister. I get it, but I'm tired of characters redeeming themselves just to self-sacrifice in the end.
Don’t worry. She didn’t die. Right as the explosion in the air shaft goes off, you can see a streak of purple going into an airshaft, that’s her using her shimmer powers. Later, when Caitlyn is examining the hexgate, she zooms in on an air shaft, she was also playing with the monkey bomb head, and yes you can say she was smiling from Vi humming but her realizing that Jinx is alive could be a possibility. Also, the airship at the end is a reference to Powder’s line in episode 1 „One day, I’m going to fly in one of those things.” Also, after the airship, if you slow it down, you can see „The End” barely as if Jinx wrote it.
Purple streak: 1:45
People will cope with "but the foreshadowing with Caitlyn", but for now... she's dead until the writers summon her back like Vander. Better to keep an open ending like this. Wouldn't want to open the news with "Fortiche building burned down by Arcane fans".
go back and see the purple straight line that appears right before the explosion, we all know jinx can move fast with the purple shimmer
It’s heavily hinted she survived. You can even see a straight shimmer line heading for the airducts before the explosion.
I ALWAYS KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE!!!! IDK HOW THE HELL I KNEW THAT, BUT I WAS READY😂😂😂
I was ready too. It's the easiest way to handle such characters. But I had hoped arcane would subvert my expectation, not fall right into it
@ yep. And yk, somehow I knew that Jinx is gonna have a little girl (child) Idk how… I just did😂👌🏻 but I was actually a lil disappointed with how they killed Jinx
@ I thought there was going to be more PASSION and DRAMA yk. I mean, they didn’t even bury her:)
Well she tried to kill herself 400 times soooo
Theory on why she’s not dead: at 1:44 if you slow it down you can see a very bright pink line go directly into one of the air ducts. And then it later shows Cait looking at the air ducts holding a part of jinx’s bomb (they wouldn’t have shown her doing that for no reason) and then the ending shot of the blimp flying away as jinx said she wanted to ride one. But at any case, if she really is dead it’s beautifully symbolic as she sees death as a mercy.
No no no no! Not my Jinx! Not like this! I hate you, Riot!
I'm still convinced she's not dead. I'm probably being dilutional, but at the beginning of the series, baby powder says "One day I'm gonna ride in one of those." she points to a blimp. At the end Caitlyn is looking at blue prints of the area where jinx fell, showing air tunnels she could have gotten out in. THEN it shows the air blimp from the beginning of the series flying away. I think she's on that ship.
PLEASE
If she actually died ,the worst decision taker in this whole series is Riot itself.
The saddest part of this is that only happy ending for one for Sister is when the other dies
Alot of you think jinx is dead isn't no she's not yet dead at the part Caitlyn was researching she saw a vent that can possibly jinx Goes thru and we didn't see them burry or even any death ceremony right, and when bi and Caitlyn last scene we can tell Caitlyn knows something, just look at her eyes, eyes can't lie and if you see the last ep were in the last there was a ship flying right? If you don't remember in ssn 1 that ship was the first ever jinx battle scene and if you don't know ekko won't let jinx die, and before jinx fell jinx says " im always with you sis"
The scene at 1:36 where the lyrics say, "This land is a wasteland that nothing could grow," perfectly complements the visual of Jinx looking tearful and hopeless at Vander. It symbolizes her realization that there’s no way to restore Vander’s humanity. The "wasteland" represents not just the physical desolation but also the emotional void in Jinx's heart. Her tearful gaze at Vander reflects her despair, as she knows that despite her efforts, some things are beyond saving-just like the barren land described in the song.
There's no debate, she is dead. Everything was written to this moment. There is no need to convince ourselves that somehow she survived and run a way from her sister and everyone else afterwards.
yep she is alive, I thought she died at first and I watch the last scene again and it makes sense. in the game lore she didn't die, If a character dies Riot will remove her from LOL
You can literally see her running, or can pay attention to Cait holding her monkey while looking to the vent systems
@@TheInnocentChild What about Ambessa?
@@Elobama6969 im not sure about ambessa but her character just added to the game unless Riot will change the rules of keeping the characters in the game but died in arcane, we will never know. What if there is a twist that in the new story, ambessa or other characters will appear.
I read that many people would like things to stay this way, because that was "the perfect moment" for Jinx to die, but i really think she survived (I can tell from Catelyn's scene and the air baloon too).
Personally I would have accepted his death without any problems, but I also like the idea that she is alive.
She was "the jinx" that ruined the lives of people she cared most.
Jinx knows that until she is around, Vi and the others can't get the "happy ending" that they deserves.
She's caused too much trouble in Piltover/Zaun, and she's done with that, so she decide to leaves pretending to be dead.
I mean, whether she is dead or alive, she "broke the cycle". But if she survived, i like the idea that she can finally use her talent to built instead of destory, like Victor said.
PS: Also c'mon, we already had the "heart breaking death" with Isha.
Pls tell me jinx comes back omg k am sobbing
Too many things hinting she's alive, a single pink streak just at the start of the explosion, Caitlyn looking at the air ducts with the monkey bomb, the airship leaving (same type that powder said she'd ride one day) and the screen glitch at the end.
@@JackTheDiceyGamer cld be I mean she had shimmer power a d was fast maybe she made out alive till then copium
@@JackTheDiceyGamer give me a reason why she needs to be alive? None, because this was a perfect moment for her to die along with her Father that she love, also she needs to die to atone for the sins she committed, also look at her, she was ready to die, why would she try to escape then huh?.

If you seen the whole season 2, You know that jinx has ekko now. When she first tried to die she was feeling so suicidal but ekko kept her from killing herself and jinx came back online to save vi.
as soon as i saw Jinx, Vi, and Vander in this scene... i instantly started tearing up and when i saw Jinx push Vander but then also hang on to the ledge.... i started crying so much because she was my most favorite character that i LOVED so so much... i don't know how long i cried but i know it was a long time and i was just repeating 'why would they do this to me', 'why would y'all do that', and 'why would y'all kill her' all while crying... it broke me so hard... this is the best show of all time because it was the first show to ever make me care and cry so much for a character that i loved for the first time in a long time...
People are saying that jinx escaped in 1:44 and i do get why (the purple line-ish thing showing that jinx escaped , according to some)
But if jinx really was still alive , why did she shed tears before pulling the pin of the bomb ? That's 1 hint which makes me feel that jinx was gone the moment the explosion happened .
This is just my opinion or from my point of view.
Some people are saying in the comments that the bomb wouldn't be enough to kill vander (in his idk what form) , this is just a theory of mine which can most likely be not true and accurate , but have you guys not seen how Viktor's army of corrupted hextech 'robots' (lets just call the bald white figures this) shutdown or di3 down the moment the scenario between viktor and jayce ended? I am just assuming that the same will happen to vander once he receives the slightest of damage. Im trying to state my explanation as clear as i can , but i do feel that my theory of vander dying is -- shaky and very unlikely to be true.
Yeah I think Jinx was really ready to die. She mentioned it many times in S2 and she was going to do it in the beginning of the same episode so, why did she change her mind? Faking her death is maybe a way for her to "kill Jinx" the same way as she was saying that "Powder is dead" but why?
I have one word only for Arcane - GENIUS!
am i the only one who thought E9 was rushed ?! like everything was going down then i took a look at the timer left and thought oh boy ... and oh boy indeed , this whole Episode could have been at least 1 or max 2 more Episodes but they had to end it right ?....
The whole "oh you like this character? DEAD. how about this one? DEAD, oh you thought he/she will survive? DEAD, the whole Vander FLashbacks in this Episode was just so ...meh , predictable , boring, repeated, and just bad...... E7 & E8 was perfect hands down 10/10 but E9 .... idk
Yeaa, same opinion
It was not bad
But we could have much more than putting it all in 1 episode
This was supposed to be the most amazing animated show i ever saw and it was until season 2 arc 3 it was rushed and half the time you don't understand nothing they could of done it a lot better fo fuck sake just for fuck sake the end also was meaningless Jinx death was not necessary at all its like they just give up till the end or that it was just impossible for them to make a satisfied end for this amazing show i got excited for introduce this show to everyone i know but after this it will be painful.
Kill me
@@bremruatfelabs0057it was bad... Compared to every other episode
u lot are sufferening for a disease : "More, more, moooore" disease even if they added 2 others episode u wouldn't still be satisfied it's like a last dose of cocaine
I thought the same, i think it needs to be more flesh out but here we gooo
An old couple interested in Arcane
"Honey have you seen Arcane?"
"Our cane? I have a wheelchair."
Nope not dead didn't see a body. Plus Caitlyn looking looking at blueprint at the end and seeing other exists....So how's my coping doing lol
It shows Caitlyn looking at the Blueprints of Building and it zooms in a vent. And when Jinx hugs Vender, it shows a big vent next to them. Also, the ship at the end is Jinx's. Yup, Jinx is alive.
1:44 SHE ALIVEE, STOP CRYING
I KEEP SEEING PEOPLE SAYING THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT I NEED RIOT TO CONFIRM 😭🤧
LITERALLY NOBODY IS DEAD EXCEPT AMBESSA.
Viktor, Jayce, Ekko, and Heimer all got transported to another dimension just like what happened with ekko and heimer in the parallel world- It looks exactly the same.
Warwick/Vander isn't dead because he's warwick, and we know that he's basically unkillable.
Jinx isn't dead because we see.... 1. right as the explosion goes off, a purple streak dashes towards the upper right of the screen. 2. Caitlyn is looking at the vents right after that scene happens. 3. We see an airship leaving piltover after that(and we know powder said she's going to ride one of those one day in season 1).
Additionally, we know Jinx and Vander/Warwick aren't dead because, when ti comes to the directing of the show, their death scene wasn't drawn out enough. If they actually died we would've gotten a longer death scene where the last bits of vander come out of warwick and say to jinx "I forgive you" or something like that.
Everyone is obviously still alive.
The amount of people coping about how Jinx survived that is crazy
fr bro
let her died I feel bad for her
Jinx had always harbored a death wish, and ultimately, she sacrificed her life to save her beloved sister.
WHAT 😭😭
This show...every time I think that it can't be more heartbreaking it just GOD DAMN IT DOES!!! I wasn't wipping this much ever
Jinx sacrificed herself for Vi the same way Isha sacrificed herself for Jinx
Its amazing how they leave some of the things to us and make theories to figure it out by our selves.
I won’t never watch this sh3t again if Jinx is confirmed dead
Is there any other reason for her to be alive? No, she did what she could and did the best.
@@CheshireF you can see her teleport out in the vid
@@acousticks526hmm... I wonder why it cut to a scene where Vander blew the candle... Hmm....
JINX didnt die at 1:45 before the explosion you can see jinx shimmer dashing away from the explosion, which probably explains caitlyn smilling looking at the air ducts she must have escaped from also the air ship last scene which powder said at s1 that one day she will ride one and the last scene of arcane is a flying air ship.
(You can lower the speed at 1:45 to see the shimmer dashing away from the explosion.)
I really don't enjoy the fact her fate is left unclear, considering she's one of the main characters. The open ending leaves me feeling nothing.
She’s alive. You can see a streak of shimmer shoot out before the explosion. Also Cait was looking at blueprints examining the shaft and tunnels later.
The title: SPOILER
The next line: Jinx death
Did anyone realized that jinx cut her hair to lose her weakpoint [eps. 6] and prepare for the last battle!
Not only to resemble powder
This act was so rushed I couldn't enjoy it. Something felt off in all scenes.
its sad but SHE DIDNT DIE!! she "walked" away like slico said so and there are sercet tunles which catlin was seen looking at. SHES ALIVEEEE
😦.....no
Jinx survived but she had to fake her death in the end so Vi can move on with her life without that constant chase to find her sister. When Vander blows the candle we see that purple shimmer flash to the top right then explosion. Jinx flys that airballon far away from this place.
