I find it weird that thematically riot seems to want to paint sylas as a villain, like they make him look antagonistic in alot of the art and scenes he's in but he's objectively on the moral high ground when it comes to the treatment of mages in demacia.
Sylas is meant to be the wrong answer to the right problem. Hes right that Demacia cant keep treating mages like that, but hes a hypocrite, cruel, and vengeful. Sylas is not fighting for freedom or change, Sylas is fighting to destroy Demacia completely, the good and the bad, because they hurt him. Things wouldnt get better for anyone if he wins.
@@treyhova1183 Meh, he answers systematical oppression with violence, which is the most effective way of doing it, in almost all successful fights for human rights fighting has been the answer. He’s a true hero, just a realistic one.
I mean… idk about any of you, but I’d be pretty vengeful and even sadistic to my enemies if they imprisoned me at the age of 10. Not only is Demacia anti mage they’re hypocrites about it. They used him as a weapon. You know who else is objectively a hero but is treated and shown as a villain? Zed ,like go and do a bit of research.
@@jaimeruiz7837 Well, I wouldn't necessarily say objectively for Zed. Admittedly it's been a bit since I've read his lore but iirc, the conflict between Shen and Zed is at least a little ambiguous, Sylas is just, like, straight up right. Definitely weird how often Zed gets painted as the villain in cinematics though given that in the actual lore he more runs the gamut between anti-hero and anti-villain.
I want them to do arcane for each region so bad! And since Arcane is kinda like a prequel to what know I want that for them all too! Garen Jarvan IV Lux Sylas and Xin zhao for demacia? The first three is about them growing up and Sylas’s imprisonments and Xin zhao being the kinds right hand? For Noxus it obviously has to show the rise of the Trifarix with Darius and Draven growing up in Noxus while the last noxian king ruled into the brother splitting into different paths and Darius being a leader and then Swains fall and then his rise back to power alongside Darius. Oh and also has to show leblanc in the shadows trying to prepare Rell for Mordekaisers return. Sheri a has to to with the Ascended during Azirs reign and then Xeraths betrayel for like the first 2 or 3 episodes? And at the end of those it shows Renekton and Nasus locking up Xerath. Then the rest of the series gotta be right before the present where Sigurd finds her weapon, Kassadim goes to the void, Renekton and Xerath break free. Bilge water is probably when Miss Fortune Twisted Fate and Graves were growing up during GangPlanks rule as the Pirate King. Then Miss Fortune eventually kills Gangplank just for him to come back alive later on. Oh and Pykes story. So they keep showing random assassinations with a paper a knife sticking it down? Nautilus popping up when someone doesn’t pay the Tithe. Idk these are just my random ideas they were fun. I hope they do more shows about Runeterra Arcane was a blast
The context of his login screen is very cool: the previous login was for Worlds, or some such event, and it cycled champions doing badass poses, starting with Blitzcrank. Sylas' login starts in the same way, but instead of Blitzcrank doing his move, he shuts down and the screen jumps to Sylas. It was really great seeing that for the first time.
Finally Sylas, my boy! He is so tragic and yet so powerful and inspiring man; his story is so interesting and definitely important for the lore (can't wait for him in the series). His music theme is really on point here, it's so damn good and epic (number one for me). Big like to you !!! And looking forward for Warwick. You will definitely find some very interesting lines over there..

31:50 nah Sylas definetly should be killing people any retaliation against genocide is a just retaliation. The people who kill his kind and innocent people for no reasons except their unfounded hate towards mage deserves the same ammount of payback.
Interesting fact about Sylas, to make you understand how powerful he truly is. He was once able to hold the powers of Morgana, a power which was said to bring to madness and break the minds of any mortal, but Sylas was not only able to hold it and use it, but he was able to withstand it's maddening effects. Very powerful character
That is true, however that’s still to be figured out how he did it since Morgan’s was somewhere within the city and not near him and he managed to absorb it. However I think his limits proven by the fact that he probably wouldn’t be able to hold Kayles power which he’d likely want to use.
@@xxabsolitexxx7747 It’s because the city of Demacia is made of a material that absorbs magic, so the city itself contained some of her powers, which is how he absorbed it.

I would LOVE to see you react to Yorick and explore the injustice done to him by Riot in recent years. He's my favorite champion next to Kindred and right above Sylas on my list.
I was really expecting the next focus of Arcane would be Demacia since it also has the aspects of duality; Piltover and Zaun, Shimmer and Hextech, Royalty and Peasants, Mages and Anti-Mages. However it seems like they'll probably stay in the current conflict.
Interesting fact about the music, its based on Demacia's leitmotif, and uses parts of "Demacia Rising" which was the music tied to Garen and lux in an old album from Riot.
Sylas' chains are made from petricite, a material made by combining petricite wood and stone (or steel). The material was originally thought to suppress magic until it was revealed that it actually absorbs and stores it. Sylas managed to kind of... overload the chains with magic, allowing him to 'free' the magic within and use it. With the petricite freed, he can use the petricite chains that once absorbed his magic to latch onto other mages or other sources of magic and absorb their magic, storing it in the petricite and using it as needed.
Just something you mentioned when sylas said "those who are waiting to be Freed do not deserved it, spread my word". You bring a good point in it be hypocrisy, coming from him but.... I think he is willing to save everyone, I think the line more make him feel like a preacher, or cult leader etc. The line feel more of someone trying to get people riled up convince them to fight for their freedom, also to an extreme. I always read Sylas as this fanatical leader, which honestly anyone who can start a revolution is a Charismatic leader. Most of his line reflect this, and honestly that make him really cool in the demacia story.
the mage situation in demacia is not very subtle on the g3n0cide metaphor, so, just the same way we don’t point fingers at the black people that were enslaved that killed captors or jews that were later judging n4z1s and sentencing them to d34th, we shouldn’t brush of and put Sylas on the same level as Jarvan, they are clear cut: oppressor/oppressed. No mather how many people the mages took down, they would never equate the terror of systemic persecution, forced labor, dehumanization, tortur3, kill1ng, lack of rights that mages have suffered since the genesis of Demacia by the hands of a powerful elite that keeps the status quo in order to not be challenged.
47:18 yea that is Sylas' thing, he steals ultimate skills and uses them. Viego is sort of similar in that he uses other champions abilities except the ult when he kills them he can posses them basically. Between those two you pretty much have to know all the skills to be best at them. Also to be fair they Sylas changes how skills scale too, he himself is an AP based champion, so if he gets an AD skill, it gains some AP scaling so it isn't totally useless on him. In general he gains anything needed to make the skill useful, but there are a few skills that are still duds honestly, just best to steal from someone else.
Viego's ability is similar to Sylas but Viego can't use enemy's ultimates. When Viego killed an enemy or assist to kill an enemy he can use it's body to control that character and use it's abilities
@@jeremiemarion3966 even so, Urgot seems to respect the will to topple the hierarchy by the means of power and rebellion, which is exactly the aim of Sylas. Also, Sylas is either ripped and magically talented to be seen as "strong" in eyes of Urgot, so the seeds of respect are sown.
I love your comparison to Rouge, because it's so accurate, Sylas is definitely a what if Rouge joined Magneto type of character. Also can you do Kled next?
51:23 i belive the reason he uses the chains is because he uses the petricite in the chains to steal magic from his target, Sylas have the ability to use the magic within the them.
I believe it just so happens that petricite works the same way as him. Absorbs magic. At the start of the video it was shown that sylas already can absorb magic of other people
@@HostilePlayer yep its like if a mage is able to use their powers with just their bare hands but if they hold a staff they can use their powers better
@@HostilePlayer I think it is just a big ass coincidence. Petricite already works like that, he just learned to use it or maybe it is his own power that allows him to
It says that Sylas' shackles are too big for him and were designed for something else, we know Demacia was built after the Rune Wars by refugees who were shell-shocked by how horrible magic could be when weaponized and many powerful demons like Evelynn and Nocturne were essentially born of the suffering in the Rune Wars, Demacia is a hot-bed for demonic activity even before the increasingly hostile climate for human mages, Lux and Garen defeated Nocturne in one of their early stories, Evelynn killed Vayne's parents and has a cult of worshippers in Demacia and ofc their is Fiddlesticks who currently roams Demacia. The schematics for Galio also have a sketch of Raum, Swain's demon. It's most likely those shackles were built to hold powerful demons in Demacia's heyday by Durand as was Galio to a degree, but Demacia has turned to using them as weapons against mages and Noxus during their past wars.
Time to write a bit(? Sylas couldn't use the power of the Aspects of Targon nor the Primal Force of the Freljord, it simply would end up break any mortal being if it's not by choice of the Aspects (or etc) itself, he did use part of Morgana power but is likely that she allowed him to do so Also, the mage seeker order is not a loved group, almost every demacian dislike it, but since the leader is married with Tianna Crownguard it started to grow in power and everyone just ended up... Bowing the head to it(? Even Jarvan III said that Sylas and the mages are what Demacia created, and Jarvan IV also shared that idea until he found his father dead (and out of anger and mourn made that zero tolerance against magic) And even tho Sylas is a understandable character, he is still (and was) way far of being good, he even absorbed to death one of his Allie's magic just to cast the magic himself for example
Also, as you said, he is kinda hypocrite on everything, like for example he said to Zed that Shadows are for cowards but he did say to him that Shadows are no strange to him, or saying that Every light cast a shadow and so on
If you want to react to pyke he just got second legendary. So you will have a trailer, voicelines of base skin, 2 legendary, legends of runeterra and his theme not to mention his story in the ruined king game.
Lux is the perfect tool for Sylas as an ally or as a foe. Sylas is an Anarchist, Lux is the proof that nobles are privileged, and monarchy is corrupted and noble are free while people suffer.
Great video! Just a heads up tho League Voices is a secondary channel for Skin Spotlights and sometimes he uploads the English version there instead of the Skin Spotlights channel, Sylas voice for example you can find it there (you can find any voice over between those 2 channels, he always uploads every single voice)
I love this league of legends videos! im playing the game since Closed Beta times and the lore/universe is amazing. Everytime i get a notification for your videos they make my day. You are an amazing contentcreator! Keep up the great work!
with the new foot into demacia here im REALLY hoping you'll take a look at galio, he has one of the best short stories on universe imo, and it's with Lux plus his theme and voicelines are bangers, he's really what the ideal demacian should be (minus the giant colossus part)
heh... the fact that there are lines for ults that are not that good and characters that are tryhard means the peopple who made Sylas know that their game is balanced like that, haha
The mage war in demacia must end in compromise. A thing like mages partialy free under the mageseeker guard. Compromise is good for it leave unhappy factions for story taling & unrest. Pro mages will want true freedom but traditionnalist will thinks we give mages too much. + the compromise is easy to obtain make sylas win the war. Jarvan exile to Ionia where is Sona & her mother lady Buvelle here Jarvan can meet Karma who had the same struggle between tradition and revolution. Jarvan just have to come back take his throne. Compromise is the only way he can have Shyvana as his queen. Plus demacian politic makes sense in runeterra... Demacia was build on fear of magic, and the ideal that the rune wars will be the last great magic war.
it is a very double edged sword. yes, imprisoning magic users is wrong, but magic was what once killed wide parts of the world (see heimerdinger in arcane talking about it), so if every magic user roamed freely like sylas, you know itll happen again
Yeah but Demacia is doing it wrong. They can't expect petricite to work all the time. And thats what happened with Sylas. He was just too powerful for the petricite and broke out. Now Demacia has someone like Sylas against them. Nobody except Kayle and Morgana who I THINK hangs around Demacia are able to stand against him.
i mean the irony of sylas is INSANE, dude hates all of demacia for having fear of mages that once wiped their kingdom before they were demacia, to the point where hes become just like them if not worse
I feel like hypocrisy is meant to be a theme with Demacian champs, though it's hard to side with a country pulling a Hitler and committing mass genocide while your leaders and higher ups are part of that same group you claim is a problem.
really should react to Kayn lore stuff. In the MMO I'm going to be Noxus and side with Sylas. Don't get use to the voices because if it gets an arcane thing theyll fucking change all the voices. Ekko had a great VA but they gave him some other guy.
Fun fact: Sylas’s greatest trauma/ biggest fear is lux herself. This is evidence by fiddlesticks voice line “Little light” as fiddlesticks only says a persons greatest fear or biggest trauma. This also goes in hands with the line “Brother don’t hurt her” which shows again that he cares for lux more than is normally seen. There’s an entire comic about this which goes further into that line.
The fiddlesticks interaction "little light" was against lux, it was lux's deepest trauma rembering that she was the one who released sylas. Fiddle's interaction against him is "vannis, don't hurt her" which is referencing when sylas was hunting the little girl in his story with the mage seekers
@@MrMeddyman and yeah she probably feels bad for that considering what he’s become however I can see his point of why he’s confused lux is on their side. Considering they’re trying to murder all mages and this now includes lux despite her literally being the only one that knows wtf she’s doing against mages and will stand a single chance
If you recall the quote of Fiddlesticks "Little light", it is what Sylas was calling Lux.
The voicelines from that channel and the interactions from skin spotlights is a good balance, keep up the amazing videos!
38:22 You're taking the line at face value. He meant the on lookers, those who would also benefit from a cause but refuse to fight for it.

Just a heads up tho League Voices is a secondary channel for Skin Spotlights and sometimes he uploads the English version there instead of the Skin Spotlights channel, Sylas voice for example you can find it there (you can find any voice over between those 2 channels, he always uploads every single voice)
big fan try Zed next pls🔥
Morgana and Kayle next!
you should do a video on warwick, he has a few interesting quotes with certain arcane characters.
Please react to Sion he is the most badass character
Can we get Kayle and Morgana together. I really want you to react to them,
Finally! I've been waiting for this since Aatrox voicelines
I love this league of legends videos! im playing the game since Closed Beta times and the lore/universe is amazing. Everytime i get a notification for your videos they make my day. You are an amazing contentcreator! Keep up the great work!
pyke when?
If you haven't already seen it, the other league of legends band/group is True Damage and the song is pretty awesome
APHELIOS PLEASE
Hey can u pls reat to Yones voice lines would be awesome. :D
WE'RE BACK let's go
with the new foot into demacia here im REALLY hoping you'll take a look at galio, he has one of the best short stories on universe imo, and it's with Lux
plus his theme and voicelines are bangers, he's really what the ideal demacian should be (minus the giant colossus part)
MAN GAREN ALSO HAS ONE OF MY FAVES ;-; too many good on universe stories
Check Samira)
heh...
the fact that there are lines for ults that are not that good and characters that are tryhard means the peopple who made Sylas know that their game is balanced like that, haha
39:52
You gotta do Braum next his story and voice lines are just so worth it
Fun fact: his shackles were originally meant to imprison demons.
I would love to see lucian
Today it is Sylas, Okayn!
We love a communist king
Sylas voice actor is one of the best in my opinion
Como es que no viste el cómic
react to viego
The mage war in demacia must end in compromise. A thing like mages partialy free under the mageseeker guard.
Compromise is good for it leave unhappy factions for story taling & unrest.
Pro mages will want true freedom but traditionnalist will thinks we give mages too much.
+ the compromise is easy to obtain make sylas win the war. Jarvan exile to Ionia where is Sona & her mother lady Buvelle here Jarvan can meet Karma who had the same struggle between tradition and revolution. Jarvan just have to come back take his throne.
Compromise is the only way he can have Shyvana as his queen. Plus demacian politic makes sense in runeterra... Demacia was build on fear of magic, and the ideal that the rune wars will be the last great magic war.
React to the comic hehe
Do Veigar next
ah yes, the communist in Runeterra LUL. But honestly an interesting character and champion
Still waiting for the raction to dr.mundo! He will surely give you a good luck!
sylas is communist xd
I stand on the side of magic so I stand with Sylas
2nd before it went viral🔥
Tbh Sylas x Lux is more tragic than Garen x Katarina
it is a very double edged sword. yes, imprisoning magic users is wrong, but magic was what once killed wide parts of the world (see heimerdinger in arcane talking about it), so if every magic user roamed freely like sylas, you know itll happen again
Yeah but Demacia is doing it wrong. They can't expect petricite to work all the time. And thats what happened with Sylas. He was just too powerful for the petricite and broke out. Now Demacia has someone like Sylas against them. Nobody except Kayle and Morgana who I THINK hangs around Demacia are able to stand against him.
@@negate4828 exactly, demacia agigates these mages and that's a good way to invite the very disaster you were trying to prevent.
Yeah that's my daaaad
I'm 32 minutes late. :(
i mean the irony of sylas is INSANE, dude hates all of demacia for having fear of mages that once wiped their kingdom before they were demacia, to the point where hes become just like them if not worse
He's not the one committing quasi-genocide on the daily.
I feel like hypocrisy is meant to be a theme with Demacian champs, though it's hard to side with a country pulling a Hitler and committing mass genocide while your leaders and higher ups are part of that same group you claim is a problem.
really should react to Kayn lore stuff. In the MMO I'm going to be Noxus and side with Sylas. Don't get use to the voices because if it gets an arcane thing theyll fucking change all the voices. Ekko had a great VA but they gave him some other guy.
What the point in putting Arcane fan in the title? Nobody gonna care if you are one or not
Fun fact:
Sylas’s greatest trauma/ biggest fear is lux herself. This is evidence by fiddlesticks voice line “Little light” as fiddlesticks only says a persons greatest fear or biggest trauma. This also goes in hands with the line “Brother don’t hurt her” which shows again that he cares for lux more than is normally seen. There’s an entire comic about this which goes further into that line.
The fiddlesticks interaction "little light" was against lux, it was lux's deepest trauma rembering that she was the one who released sylas.
Fiddle's interaction against him is "vannis, don't hurt her" which is referencing when sylas was hunting the little girl in his story with the mage seekers
Wrong way, that's the line for Lux who is now scared of Sylas and probably feels responsible for starting the rebellion (as she rightfully should lol)
@@liddumananayo1070 your correctgot that one the wrong way round thx both of u guys
@@MrMeddyman and yeah she probably feels bad for that considering what he’s become however I can see his point of why he’s confused lux is on their side. Considering they’re trying to murder all mages and this now includes lux despite her literally being the only one that knows wtf she’s doing against mages and will stand a single chance
