*Writers:* okay so we need to convey that these two were like super close as kids and had this fun game they played with paintballs *Animators:* give us a couple minutes
@@somecallmejeremy I would have liked a little more tell in the first 3 episodes before the timeskip, but I think they still made it work regardless. It'd make sense to put a couple flashbacks in season 2 but I don't know if they'd have the time.
Ekko had a crush on her when they we kids to and she probably had one on him which is why she tried to take them both out so they could be in the afterlife together
She isn’t important at all tho. Silco is important, Vander was important, Renata Glasc is important, hell even jayce is more important than her regarding the undercity
the quotes from this series are amazing. "nature has made us intolerant to change, but fortunately we have the capacity to change our nature" This is such an amazing quote.
I noticed how some of the best quotes come from the scientists tho; Viktor talking about failing to do good is probably my favorite from the whole show.
You cant change your nature because it would me meaning about changing your concept and biological fact of a human itself. If you change nature, that in this case is human, then you will be no longer that, you will be something else, superficial.
I’m so afraid to say that powder is now jinx cause she was just this adorable little girl and now she turned into a killing psychopath but after episode 9 I don’t even wanna know what she’s gonna do next I’m too scared
@@vishawnjarvismaximoff3355 I've played the game since 2012 and mained ekko when I mained mid. I am fully aware. Talking to the gun and all that. But this comment isn't an original one. It's ripped off.
Some of the reactors that forgot Ekko went to rooting for him in a span of a single episode. THAT is some great writing! Fuck, I love this show so much, I wish I could wipe my memories of it to experience it again.
@@mirroredhour I think she just thought Vi had betrayed and abandoned her and here was one of the only possible good remaining memories of childhood and they were enemies and just f it I'm out
in the end she felt everyone she loved once is just gone her family for the most part dead her sister ´´replaced ´´ her one of her best friends gave up on her and was willing to kill her with nothing left some people decide to just let go and give up i think her thoughts here are pretty damn clear...
That last moment between Ekko and Jinx was very similar to Vi and Powder’s last moments as kids, right down to the same nosebleed. She likely felt the same abandonment, like no one that she previously cared for so deeply was on her side anymore.
@@cryptidofthemarshes1680one of the script writers, Amanda Overton, let us know every side character was named by the studio’s team. Sometimes animators, character designers, texture artists, etc. post their work from Arcane online and include character names too! Like Ekko’s right hand with the big ears is named Scar, the brothel yordel is Babette, I believe even the little girl Heimerdinger does his magic trick for has been named ^^
Nice little blink-and-you’ll miss it moment; when Jinx is letting loose with Pow Pow at the girls, Caitlyn grabs Vi and spins her round so Caitlyn is between her and the bullets, while Vi pushes Caitlyn out of the way to protect her from the bullets.
The reason Jinx smiled and decided to end wasn't an act of petty, it wasn't to win or lose, it wasn't an attempt to kill herself. She saw that Ekko saw her as Powder at that point ... for the first time in years, someone saw her as Powder. Someone who knew her as powder, someone she knew as powder. She wanted to die then and there ... as powder. at least, that's what I believe
thats an actually amazing analysis, and could be true too. they both got reminded of older better times, and then at the end Jinx realises for just that moment that at least Ekko sees her as powder
What supports this theory more is the fact that in that moment when Ekko is looking at her, you can see that her eyes are grey. In the first act, Powder always had grey eyes. Then once she joins Silco they become purple. Every seen with her and Silco, her eyes are purple. But scenes when she's on her own and being Jinx, her eyes are blue. Throughout their fight, her eyes are blue up until that final moment where Ekko hesitates, then her eyes are grey like when she was younger.
It's a nice theory. It may have been the first time in years for Ekko specifically to see her as Powder, but VI saw her as Powder that same day, and had obviously continued to think of her only as Powder all this time.
the scene with the gas and Silco being the only one who can stand it is a nice way of showing he didn't forget his roots, his past as a miner with Vander.
Man, so glad to find someone who thinks this, they both are broken by their trauma. Silco projected his past on jinx and wanted to 'spare' her the 'pain' he believed that she would experience if she went back to being 'powder'.
I think Silco genuinely believes what he's saying about Vi only being after the crystal. He only knows from Jinx that she was betrayed. He's drawing parallels between Jinx's betrayal and his own betrayal from Vander. When he sees Vi, she's with an enforcer. Dont forget that enforcers are supposed to be the common enemy of ALL Zaunites (think of the hunger games and the relationship between the peacemakers and the districts, there's basically a district person running around with a peacemaker in this case). Silco probably believes what he's telling Jinx. He also withheld the I formation because he knows her best. He knows that even the mention of her sister would bring Jinx pain/PTSD. I think he was trying to protect her. Albeit it backfired.
Not to mention after Vander betrayed Silco, he made a deal with enforcers. So it's only even furthering that belief that it's the same. It's not just a great cinematic parallel, but a very traumatic parallel to both of the characters. Face to face betrayal followed by betrayal via making friends with The Enemy, just proving (in their mind) that there's no going back.
@@henry.-.2183i agree...but this is episode 7, not the last episode. There's been little/no Silco x Vi interactions by this point. WE know that Vi cares for Jinx, but Jinx and Silco don't necessarily know or see that by this point in the story. We know that Vi (who HATES Piltover) is seen with an enforcer. A lot of assumptions are/can be made based on that information alone (from the characters POV).
Fun fact: the fight scene between Ekko and Jinx didn't have them as kids to tie their current fight to their past in the original script. The animators at Fortiche had the idea to forge that connection while animating the scene, and when they showed it to the writers/producers, they thought "why didn't we think of this?!". Source: Bridging the Rift, part 3 on the League of Legends RUclips channel
Its so monstrously clever too, as it doubly serves the purpose of cheating Ekko's 'abilities' to him before he even has them. His whole shtick in previous lore is he goes back in time and re-does things learning from how they played out to make slight changes that allow him to find the outcome he wants. He doens't have any powers yet in Arcane, but they can still use a flashback to the same 'game' as kids to show how he can look back in time, see what didn't work, and then make a slight adjustmnet in the end to get the outcome he wants. Absolutely inspired stuff.
That fight at the end literally made me stand up out of my chair the first watch. I had the chills and goosebumps but also my heart was racing. It is one of the best things I have ever seen. I still watch it, constantly. Just absolutely jaw dropping.
The tragedy that many people seem to miss with Marcus is that he made one (admittedly huge) mistake, and that left him trapped in a situation he could not escape. At no point was a path open to him where he could both do the right thing and continue to protect/provide for his daughter.
Yep Marcus is a character that stands between good and bad. Many people hate Marcus but seriously look at his situation All Arcane’s dads would do anything for their daughters
@@buinugget6912 and not to mention he just wanted to catch people responsible for the crimes committed in the upper city, not like greed or something else was his motivation. He wanted to do a right thing, he just choose his allies poorly, should have trusted his boss, and wasnt brave enough to break free from Silco's influence
Marcus was a weak-minded, immature wanna-be before the deal. Silco chose his fool well. After the deal Marcus was a weak-minded, immature, over-his-head henchman - who happened to be a loving dad.
He controlled the entire Piltover police. He controlled the Enforcers. In episode 1, we saw what Enforcers did to the undercity when fighting in earnest. He has the ear of at least Jace on the council. He could have set up a trap for Silco a thousand times. He could have systematically dismantled Silco's company with targeted failures and tipoffs. We even see how the crackdown affected his cash flow. I'm saying he had options. He could've moved his family to witness protection. He didn't have to be a lackey this whole time.
I have never considered it before, but when Ekko says "Easy for you to say, your people aren't dying all aorund you." he's technically wrong. Jinx killed 6 enforcers - they might not be Cait's friends but they were still 'her people' by virtue of the same role/uniform.
the undertones. When ekko hesitates with the " powder, we couldve been" and jink looks with the " yea, i know, sorry" boom arcane still derseves what ever rewards there are
Something so easily missed in this episode is when Silco is trying to Inject his eye, he is struggling In episode 1 he did it himself with no issues He has become reliant on jinx to inject his eye, that's how much he trusts and loves her You won't let just anyone inject your eye, even family!

If anyone wonders why Ekko hesitated to kill Jinx, this is one of his lines in the future: "I used to like you, before you started talking to guns."
15:28 reminding Jinx of the mistakes her sister Vi made just for Jinx to stay away her sister and stay for him is TOXIC. Because of this, it still makes Jinx miserable.
I come back every now and then and have to watch 26:15 to 31:40. I've shilled a lot but the way all the clips were put together here just makes the scene so good.
Thank you! 🙌 Numbers don’t really mean too much to me. This isn’t my first rodeo I’ve been creating content for over 10 years, the channel has been steadily growing tho so I’m happy
Their fight is actually amazingly done. It showcases so many things. Their past, relation, the fact that Ekko was able to move from the past and Jinx is still trapped inside of it and that Jinx is not just an empty shell. I would like to see their fight without incorporating their childhood game tho.
It was no trick that was powder yes she was ready to give up Ekko hit the bomb and the explosion knocked him off the bridge she wasn't trying to kill Ekko but end her own life bc she could have placed the bomb on Ekko like she does other people but she doesn't
I find it so funny how even the people who know and play the game are afraid that this characters might die x) I mean, they are all alive at the actual time of the story, so I was never afraid that one of them could die. They can be hurt badly, but no die, because of scenarium XD
@@KarolosOroseira I get your point, but Arcane is taking place in the past. And we know for a fact that all of them are still alive know in Runeterra. So they can't die in the series, because Riot specified it'll be entirely canon.
My interpretation of the Ekko/Jinx fight scene was that he basically hypnotized her or triggered something in her memory from a previous time when they had fought as children and it subconsciously caused her to fire in the same pattern that had worked for her then, only this time Ekko had memorized the pattern and was able to avoid the shots. Either that or, more true to the game, they played it out one time on the bridge and he saw everything that she would do, saw where she got him and then reversed time for those few moments to react properly the second time around. The visuals with them as children was just a stand-in, reminding us of who they had once been to one another as that sequence played out.
I love the moment with Viktor defusing the grenade. He hesitates for a moment because he knows that if he lets it explode, the only two people (that he knows of) who could create hextech weaponry would die, and his life's work wouldn't become corrupted. But he has already decided to do everything he can to try and survive, even turning to Shimmer and the hexcore, so he defuses the grenade. "There is *always* a choice."
My favorite little bit during their fight scene is one you only realize if you've played the game. That animation scene isn't just showing it played out as kids. Ekko's stopwatch...reverses time back to the point it was started. In the altered animation, he gets shot then throws down the watch which backtracks him. That's how he dodges all the bullets and why the Firelights always got away. He carries a second chance with him at all times. That's why the paint on his face is an hourglass.
This was before he got the Z drive so it might just be a flashback. If Ekko did already have his ability by this point then the firelight girl wouldn't have died under his watch.
Arcane is already amazing as is, but if you've played the game and even have a small understanding of the lore, scenes like these are so epic. The ways all the champion's abilities and personalities are showcased in the show were incredibly well done.
YO THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID. You BY FAR have the best edit style for this compilation stuff from all I've seen so far. I subbed immediately. Keep this up!!
I had a blast watching these reactions in a mix. Nice edit tho, I'm looking forward for the next episodes. This reaction mashup is probably one of the best style I've ever watch.
Thank you so much for this!!!! You cannot BELIEVE how excited I was to see this video 😂😂😂😂 I love love love this episode, so many amazing moments dude, it’s my 2nd favorite, FOR SURE.
Those of us who know what's coming: Mwhahahahaha The Reactors Reacting: Yes! No! Wait! Yes! Holy shit what the fuck just happened?! Yes! NO! Nonononono! Riot you bastards! Us Again: Ah, sweet sweet chaos.
For the people that think ''Ekko saw Powder and didn't keep punching'', in League Of Legends(LoL), we learn through voicelines and interactions between characters that Ekko had a HUGE crush on Powder. That's why he hesitated there. At least thats what i and a lot of people think.
You can still hate a well written and complex character tbh. He's literally written to be a character we despise. There's alot of conflict within the character and that makes him Hella interesting but while his actions are somewhat justified from his perspective, in the context of the show as a whole he's defo a snakey little villain lol. One that lacks the integrity of Silco, the trauma of Jinx or the hidden sincerity of Mel.
@@himum3429 marcus is the only character that feels very very real, yes he starts out as a douche but then can't stand what hes done to his superior, they were probably good friends and he just genuinely didnt want anyone to get hurt just brought to justice and put in jail. Hell he literally thinks about taking silco and himself out of play but has to reconsider cause he has his lil girl to take care of as a single father
So true! I appreciate the hell out of Marcus’s character,I think most people for some reason refuse to think deeper about his character,he is an ass at the beginning,classist perhaps,makes a huge mistake and gets himself in a terrible position,yes he takes bribes but he also has a daughter to look after,he’s a tragic character really,perhaps not a good man,still very human.
I wouldn't call Marcus COMPLEX. He's simple. But that's okay cause everyone around him IS complex. Marcus represents passive evil vs active evil like Silco. Plus he's a corrupt cop. They're easy to hate
I feel like Marcus is deeply underappreciated as people rarely mention him, and is recieving more hate than he actually deserved. Not to mention how this will affect her daughter. Would be cool to see her grow up as another Vi but from the opposite side of the struggle.
He deserves all of the hate as a person, the corruption he helps foster costs a lot of people their lives in horrible ways without even getting to the number of livelihoods ruined. As a character though he's amazing.
I found this channel a few days ago and binged the videos. I was sad to see it had been 3 weeks since the last video and figured I would have to wait a while. Now this pops up today. Today, is a good day.

If anyone wonders why Ekko hesitated to kill Jinx, this is one of his lines in the future: "I used to like you, before you started talking to guns."
The exact phrase is "I had a crush" tho)
what when is that said?
@@blackjack8984 in the game, one of the voice lines i believe
15:28 reminding Jinx of the mistakes her sister Vi made just for Jinx to stay away her sister and stay for him is TOXIC. Because of this, it still makes Jinx miserable.
“Look at my son.”
That is such a mood. 💜💜💜💜
Nah
Worst part between ekko jinx fight is that HE WAS IN LOVE WITH HER 😭
Yeah...
that look of jinx "i have nothing to live for anyways"
that fight scene is the best scene in the whole series followed by the vi and savika fights 2 and then 1. THE ANIMATION IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!
vi and savika fight 2 is kinda goated ngl, better than this. But this bridge fight is still phenomenal, a close second
I come back every now and then and have to watch 26:15 to 31:40. I've shilled a lot but the way all the clips were put together here just makes the scene so good.
ayy glad you're back! with this much editing effort, you really deserve more subscribers
Thank you! 🙌 Numbers don’t really mean too much to me. This isn’t my first rodeo I’ve been creating content for over 10 years, the channel has been steadily growing tho so I’m happy
Glad to have you back and I can’t wait for the next one!
okay but I literally JUST realised Jinx nails are hers and Vi's hair color..... my 13th reason right there
Your editing skills are supreme.
Their fight is actually amazingly done. It showcases so many things. Their past, relation, the fact that Ekko was able to move from the past and Jinx is still trapped inside of it and that Jinx is not just an empty shell.
I would like to see their fight without incorporating their childhood game tho.
Raven is Back, FINALLY!!! Took sweet time off and is back at it.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This episode was fire
Raven reaction remixes are the best thing on youtube
As always another banger editing ... so well done .
"Brilliant little psycho" is the perfect description of Jinx haha. Ngl I lowkey love her
It was no trick that was powder yes she was ready to give up Ekko hit the bomb and the explosion knocked him off the bridge she wasn't trying to kill Ekko but end her own life bc she could have placed the bomb on Ekko like she does other people but she doesn't
I love the contrast between the people being trope savvy and the others being sentimental.
Another great reaction mashup by Raven!!
Can't wait for episode 8,9 keep up the good work raven, I can't express how much I'm thank because of you so really great for your effort.
perfect timing! i just wanted to check if this episode is live, and it is now ! glad you are back:)
I find it so funny how even the people who know and play the game are afraid that this characters might die x)
I mean, they are all alive at the actual time of the story, so I was never afraid that one of them could die. They can be hurt badly, but no die, because of scenarium XD
They can die, whenever they reach their full fighting capabilities from the game in the series... like Jinx, Vi, and Jayce... they can die.
@@KarolosOroseira I get your point, but Arcane is taking place in the past. And we know for a fact that all of them are still alive know in Runeterra. So they can't die in the series, because Riot specified it'll be entirely canon.
My interpretation of the Ekko/Jinx fight scene was that he basically hypnotized her or triggered something in her memory from a previous time when they had fought as children and it subconsciously caused her to fire in the same pattern that had worked for her then, only this time Ekko had memorized the pattern and was able to avoid the shots.
Either that or, more true to the game, they played it out one time on the bridge and he saw everything that she would do, saw where she got him and then reversed time for those few moments to react properly the second time around. The visuals with them as children was just a stand-in, reminding us of who they had once been to one another as that sequence played out.
Good observation!
i am proud to say that i am in love with arcane's ekko.
I love the moment with Viktor defusing the grenade. He hesitates for a moment because he knows that if he lets it explode, the only two people (that he knows of) who could create hextech weaponry would die, and his life's work wouldn't become corrupted. But he has already decided to do everything he can to try and survive, even turning to Shimmer and the hexcore, so he defuses the grenade. "There is *always* a choice."
love to watch Mix Fans Reactions, keep going !
you know thats wye i love arcane its not about heroes and villains or good or bad its just about people who believe to do the right thing...
Raven my friend you are fucking awesome, your content really transform all those reactions into something more. Congrats!
11:57 “What’s your plan to fix your face” yoo that was raw 💀😂
You really put in the work in your vids.
We all really appreciate ❤️❤️
My favorite little bit during their fight scene is one you only realize if you've played the game. That animation scene isn't just showing it played out as kids. Ekko's stopwatch...reverses time back to the point it was started. In the altered animation, he gets shot then throws down the watch which backtracks him. That's how he dodges all the bullets and why the Firelights always got away. He carries a second chance with him at all times. That's why the paint on his face is an hourglass.
Damn that’s cool af, I didn’t peep that the first time
This was before he got the Z drive so it might just be a flashback. If Ekko did already have his ability by this point then the firelight girl wouldn't have died under his watch.
Arcane is already amazing as is, but if you've played the game and even have a small understanding of the lore, scenes like these are so epic. The ways all the champion's abilities and personalities are showcased in the show were incredibly well done.
What a wonderful thing to wake up to
11:37 Damn, that whole sequence was brilliant. Like, don't try to challenge me, boy, you're not half a man I am. Love it
Take care always and thank you for this amazing reaction videos!!!!
ayee i’m glad you’re back!!
Can't wait to see what you'd do with Moon Knight when this is done.
Thanks for all the work though.
YO THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID. You BY FAR have the best edit style for this compilation stuff from all I've seen so far. I subbed immediately. Keep this up!!
I’m so impressed by your work, my dude. That intro had me rolling! Remixed by Raven - you’re a truly talented editor. GG!!!
3:46 ''This show needs to chill, before my Heart fall out of my Ass'' hahahahaha
I had a blast watching these reactions in a mix. Nice edit tho, I'm looking forward for the next episodes. This reaction mashup is probably one of the best style I've ever watch.
I dunno the origin of all these clips of Hailee, but I kind of like their use in these.
Hailee Stenfield is the voice actor for Vi
This is amazing and emotional 🥺 glad you're back ❤️
Thank you so much for this!!!! You cannot BELIEVE how excited I was to see this video 😂😂😂😂 I love love love this episode, so many amazing moments dude, it’s my 2nd favorite, FOR SURE.
I love your mashups and the youtubers you chose to mix
I love everybody's reaction. I can’t wait for season 2 it's going to be amazing
Yey, you're back! I hope your ankle is healing well
Those of us who know what's coming: Mwhahahahaha
The Reactors Reacting: Yes! No! Wait! Yes! Holy shit what the fuck just happened?! Yes! NO! Nonononono! Riot you bastards!
Us Again: Ah, sweet sweet chaos.
Ekko will be the leading character in the season 2 yep Vi and Jinx are the players of the story but Ekko he's the third player in the story
Are you serious?
" SHUGLY "
Man I cant..
This was actually a really good supercut. Well done!
Finally, can't wait for the last act
6:11 sounds like what Einstein said in Oppenheimer
0:30 start of my favorite song
For the people that think ''Ekko saw Powder and didn't keep punching'', in League Of Legends(LoL), we learn through voicelines and interactions between characters that Ekko had a HUGE crush on Powder. That's why he hesitated there.
At least thats what i and a lot of people think.
Thank you for this gem 💎
The intro is perfect w my boy Osborn 💯💯
I just noticed, when Silco enters the meeting the plants in the back are alive then they're dead when he leaves.
Please make more videos, your mixes are the best!
The iconic bridge fight is always the best!
I will never understand why everyone hates Marcus, he is such a well written and complex character
You can still hate a well written and complex character tbh. He's literally written to be a character we despise. There's alot of conflict within the character and that makes him Hella interesting but while his actions are somewhat justified from his perspective, in the context of the show as a whole he's defo a snakey little villain lol. One that lacks the integrity of Silco, the trauma of Jinx or the hidden sincerity of Mel.
@@himum3429 marcus is the only character that feels very very real, yes he starts out as a douche but then can't stand what hes done to his superior, they were probably good friends and he just genuinely didnt want anyone to get hurt just brought to justice and put in jail. Hell he literally thinks about taking silco and himself out of play but has to reconsider cause he has his lil girl to take care of as a single father
So true! I appreciate the hell out of Marcus’s character,I think most people for some reason refuse to think deeper about his character,he is an ass at the beginning,classist perhaps,makes a huge mistake and gets himself in a terrible position,yes he takes bribes but he also has a daughter to look after,he’s a tragic character really,perhaps not a good man,still very human.
I wouldn't call Marcus COMPLEX. He's simple. But that's okay cause everyone around him IS complex. Marcus represents passive evil vs active evil like Silco. Plus he's a corrupt cop. They're easy to hate
@TheRibottoStudios no a simple characters would be black and white. His characters is more gray
30:55 Am I the only one that heard it? Like a tool hit a metal or something?
I think Ekko hit the granade to save them both from the explosion.
So glad your back I love your videos
29:00 my thoughts exactly lmao
I love these guys so much it's the best reaction channel in terms of long well thought-out discussions imo
32:17
28:27 "that was so sick" and it hadn't even started!!!!!
Another video, another banger !
I feel like Marcus is deeply underappreciated as people rarely mention him, and is recieving more hate than he actually deserved.
Not to mention how this will affect her daughter. Would be cool to see her grow up as another Vi but from the opposite side of the struggle.
He deserves all of the hate as a person, the corruption he helps foster costs a lot of people their lives in horrible ways without even getting to the number of livelihoods ruined.
As a character though he's amazing.
I found this channel a few days ago and binged the videos. I was sad to see it had been 3 weeks since the last video and figured I would have to wait a while. Now this pops up today. Today, is a good day.
Merci 15 jours que j'attendais votre création qui est sublime !!! Merci merci merci ! From France.
Salut la France👋
awesome as usual. can't wait for the mashup reaction of V and Jayce fighting together
We want the next one please. ❤️
Finally, I've been waiting for this
