@@serenitysubs933 yes but different entity that's why he didn't have that ekko memories and didn't know VI died. You can clearly see the end when powder sees the two versions
@@melchiade84How is he stealing the other Ekko's future? He was only there for maybe a few weeks, 3 months at the longest, the other Ekko literally came back at the end(which you know 'Cause you said that already). What is Ekko stealing?😂
The ekko he took over in that world was already with powder that’s why she was touchy with him and that’s why he asks her to kiss him like it’s the first time.
You are right. When Powder was helping Ekko , you can see that she was looking at the paper 19:53 and was smart enough to understand that This Ekko is different. And on the next where we see her looking at Ekko wasn't like she is getting some feelings for him. It was more like you are not my Ekko. And she gets that confirmation only when she sees our Ekko in the time machine.
Messed up thing is... Because Vi died in this timeline, Jayce stops willingly or is taken into custody for experimentation over the Arcane and its consequences. Either way he is expelled from the academy and Viktor isn't around to continue that line of research... And without him Jayce offs himself whether it was for guilt over that dead kid or being denied his life's work. Again, the duo with golden retriever energy made the world a better place if they just aren't mixed in anything.
Well, it is more than just Vi's death. Another key difference in this timeline that was unaffected by Ekko and Heimerdinger was Silco finding the letter and forgiving Vander. Shimmer doesn't have open resources to subjects, Zaun is spared from a dependency epidemic, Zaun has unified and balanced leadership, and the icing on the cake is having a future-knowing Heimerdinger on the Piltover Council who now is properly equipped to help Zaun prosper alongside Piltover. What Vi's death does is keep Powder from experimenting with Hextech and forces her to be the pillar of support that Milo and Clagor need
@@relic5752so Vander and silco can also be explained by Vi's death and the lack of Hextech. So Vi's death could have served to bring vander/silco together. That would lead to them balancing eachother out and probably a united zaun. Piltover stays mostly the same as it was before Jace and hextech Bridging the game between the two significantly.
*Timebomb* (the ship name of Ekko x Jinx/Powder) was something I didn't expect to get, but very much appreciate. Best episode of the season for me. Sets the tone of the bittersweet atmosphere of how Jinx could have been in another life.
So many excellent memes based on that contrast. Poor Jayce 😂 Ekko deserved some peace. That boy lost everything and has been warring and leading protecting everyone around since then.
14:21 we actually know from the concert hall in season 1 that Heimerdinger loves music. And he mentions to Jayce how thankful he is that the HexGates have spurred a new era of innovation for the arts as well. Heimer had simply forgotten his own creative spirit, until he met Ekko.

@@HaydrogenBomb Solely because of episode 7 i can't write off act 3, it was one of the best episodes of the show. Personally im not a fan of the ending either, but it wasn't bad, just not amazing like the rest of the show, but it had its great moments also during epi 8 - 9
@killerbas40 Yeah, I think the main plot beats are fine, but needed more time to cook. Not enough time for it to have the consistency of quality that S1 had. Needed more time for pacing and character writing connective tissue in between many of the plot beats.
Jayce: going through hell, mind broken, body in shambles everyone watching: "man, get that off my screen, switch back to the party" LOLOL (I'm guilty of it too)
The writers did an interview, confirmed the next 3 towns we are going to on top of answering some lore questions/post finale implications, but i say this cuz in that they included that the 250m thing isn't true it wasn't that much. That was just a rumor lol.
@@BlinksTehShit Honestly, 250 million is believable. Into the Spider-Verse cost 90 million and that's 2 hours. Arcane is 12 hours of movie quality animation and original music.
23:25 I'm pretty sure that this is the timeline where Silco found the note Vander left for him in their old hideaway and they continued to run Zaun together. I think Silco and Vander made up before Vi's death in this version of the universe.
Small cool detail: Powder is wearing the same necklace that smol Vi was wearing in the bridge in the very first scene of the show, and you can see Vander using that same necklace as a bracelet in the flashback of S2 E5.
I read that very last scene with Jinx a little differently, we see she has a drawer with Vi's name on it, inside are the hextech gemstones, something that reminds her of her sister as it's the thing they got from the job that killed her, and then we see her put the necklace Ekko gave her inside the drawer, I think this is showing us she finally figured out what was going on and that that version of Ekko was dead so she placed a memento of his inside the drawer as well.
I think that they showed it because Powder realized that Vi alive in different world. So she bring that stones and Ekko's formulas to Victor and Jayce, they created Hextek to do the same as Ekko did, but Victor finished his glorious evolution and destroy that world. And then our Jayce wake up in the same world as Ekko but in the future, where only Victor left. Himerdinger wake up in the past, he represent the past, Ekko represent the present, and Jayce represent the future. So, Ekko destroy that world to save his own. That's the prise of traveling into multiverse in Arcane, it's not like in Marvel.
Crazy how, without hextech, piltover seems to make amends with Zaun since they don’t become unfathomably rich to the point they think they can just ignore the undercity.
Partially. Vander also remains in leadership and keeps the undercity from falling down the path Silco took it with shimmer. Heimerdinger also, still a councilman in this universe, decided to do what he failed to do before and actually made a direct effort to bring resources and youth innovator programs to the undercity over the past 3 years.
@@oberon9015 They still call him professor. He himself said he was able to make great things happen in that world. Likely he is responsible for most of the positive.
Pretty sure this episode wasn’t just to show where the trio went; but in fact to show that time travel and alternate universe exist I League of Legends. That way they can reuse their characters in various forms and settings as well as do what they want to them.
Pretty sure the animation studio that made Arcane is French so they like to show love to French artists. Woodkid (the singer for a lot of Arcane’s songs) is French too.
I think Jayce did showed up in the same alternate-universe as Ekko but years latter like heimerdinger showed up years earlier. Powder invented Hextech with her new knowledge after working with Og-Ekko and her gem stones and it's all gone to sh*t.
I'm shocked it took you guys a minute to figure out it was the homies Mylo and Claggor. I was so happy when I first saw them again🥹🥲. But I never noticed the pink streak in her hair😯 good eye 👀
@@YaBoyRockLee be more confident 😄i remember you saying you weren't vocal about it but I don't remember any facial expression reaction 🤔 or it could be I was more biased since I know Yuri Lowenthal played Mylo and he also played Suzaku from Code Grass 😅
Wait doesn't that mean Himerdinger already died as a sacrifice to make the arcane be able to go back that far? So he didn't go to another universe or anything he just figured out that he was "the indicator" and what makes it go beyond 4 seconds is just his death. Did I get that wrong?
Wonder if Powder will keep comparing Ekko with the Arcane!Ekko in her head going forwards. "He was so much more interesting than you!" "He's you, but better!" :D
I doubt so cause its VERY unlikely we'll ever go back to this universe. And I hope it stays that way cause otherwise they would ruin this beautiful episode. By the happy music of the credits segment, I think they showed the crystals purely to show that all this time she had them, but chose to help Ekko making it work with just a few shards cause she prefered to spend the time with him.
😢 This episode confirmed to me what I always thought, that the real villain in season one was Haimerdinger! Because when he arrived in this alternative reality he was still head of the counsel and only took him three years to resolve all the problems between the two cities.
Actually true, honestly i always hated Heimerdinger, he is too passive that it is literally killing the city he helped create and people somehow hate Jayce for kicking him off of the council.
@@deepblackjc do you think heimer is some type of god emperor of the City? Everything he says goes? Heimerdingers flaw is being kinda aloof and not interrested in governing/politics to the point where hes not really a counceler, just a figurehead. Not caring about governing, just having fun doing science, meanwhile the other councelers (Mel, Caits mom are mostly running everything, widening the gap between topside and bottom, probably not on purpose).

For real, he didn't hesitate or consider for a moment that he wouldn't jump back into the fight.
I'll take that as a Lost reference
The ekko he took over in that world was already with powder that’s why she was touchy with him and that’s why he asks her to kiss him like it’s the first time.
