Yes, Jinx didn't die. If you go back to the moment when Jinx explodes the bomb, Jinx comes out of the bomb using shimmer (a pink trail appears coming out of the bomb). Also, at the end, Caitlyn saw what the portals were like, showing several ducts there. And to finish, a kind of blimp flies out of the city, the same blimp that Powder said she wanted to pilot someday when she was a child. (Note: in the "Fractured Jinx" skin in League of Legends, which is this version of this "war" against Viktor and Ambessa, she has a line about traveling the world, something like that). Jinx left and then left everyone behind to "break the cycle."
@@Tea-SpinIt isn't because when the cast members were asked about if Jinx was dead or not on a video clip, they didn't confirm it and say it. They were being coy about it because if it was a foregone conclusion, they would just say so to end the discussion. lol
@@raec5426 why would they want to end discussions, it's rather the opposite they want people talking about it as much as possible. the only reason to assume she isn't gone is bc it makes little sense to put hints there if she was but at the same time her living in that situation still makes nearly no sense so it's a cope solution regardless
REST IN PISS MADDIE also i’m definitely in the camp that jinx is alive! the pink streak during the explosion and caitlyn looking at the side vents in the blueprint make it look like she escaped. plus powder’s first line in the show is about wanting to fly in one of the blimps and the last shot is of a blimp!
25:50 Ekko not even MVP for risking himself going back 4 seconds… he was also the last one alive and made that last play! AND he did leave that perfect timeline to save this one. The boy who saved time!! And yeah I hear studio fortiche is open to more stories in this universe but this story at least is over and it’ll be a good few years before the next one.
some things are left for viewers to notice 1. cait was reading the building plans where jinx "died". apparently there was a air duct right where the explosion was so who knows 2. yea thats singed daughter he got his happy ending i guess 3. arcane wont end here, there will be more stories in this universe but the show will probably be called something else (confirmed by the writers) the universe is huge so the MCU for league of legends is incoming so excited!!!
in specific, cait was toying with the grenade head jinx used, which means a team was sent to survey the damage aftermath and they didn't find jinx's body. cait was looking thru the hexgate blueprint to see if there was any chance jinx escaped. jinx was seen escaping from the explosion -- you see a pink streak moving away from the blast. ekko only burned one piece of paper for the commemoration for the dead. if jinx was dead, he would've burned two, one for jinx, one for the yordel. the same blimp powder declared she'd ride one day was seen moving away from piltover, which hints jinx was on it. jinx knows vi would be happier if she wasn't in her life, because everyone jinx is close to ends up dying.
In the first episode Powder says something like "one day im going to ride one of those" referring to the blimp, at the end of the episode we see one of those same blimps leaving the city. It is heavily implied that Jinx is alive, and there is also more details that support this.
It was confirmed that ekko and jinx talked about the other world ekko went to and boned over it about a hour jinx and ekko bonding…something intimate was supposed to happen between them as well along with them painting eachother but they said it was too long and cut it all out
It's exciting to realize that Jinx tried to kill herself with the explosion, thinking that Ekko was one of the hallucinations, but when she realized it was really him, she tried to jump so as not to hurt him
Jinx is simply alive. There is wayyyyyyyy too many clues and hints to that being the case, and also its Jinx so why not. The purple streak, caits smile and the piece of bomb, the tunnels on the blueprint, the airship at the end (which Powder said she'd ride one day), the The End card, I feel like its so undeniable that it was clearly left ambiguous with all the hints for a reason. Also, like another commenter said, they unfortunately had to cut some of the episode because Netflix didn't like that it was over an hour long, but Jinx and Ekko definitely talked and had a meaningful (imo likely romantic, intimate) moment together, hence the exchanged clothes, paint all over them and all that.
Medarda and the Black Rose is something they want to explore. That why that plot point doesn't fully resolve. And in align with that the next show will be about Noxus, Demacia and Ionia. I think they can explore them all at once. In season 1, there's 3 arc with each arc cover one region. And in Season 2 they finally converge.
you can see a single pink ray escaping from the explosion of jinx and vander at the end people think that jinx is on the ship left if piltove/zaun to break the cycle as silco said
While there are clues that Jinx is still alive, I would have been fine whether she died or not. If she HAD died, she'd been looking to do so following Silco's words about walking away and ending the cycle, so her sacrifice in saving Vi wouldn't have JUST been a sacrifice, but also an opportunity to "walk away" while doing something good. Now if she FAKED her death, then she's still leaving Vi and Piltover behind, but wants to build something new following Ekko's words. You could also argue that, narratively speaking, whether she died or not, her departure is part of her comeuppance (as Cait said, Jinx's crimes can't be easily undone). Regardless, it'd be nice to catch a glimpse of her in later projects, just cause she's such a cool character.
I mostly agree but I think her choice made the most sense BECAUSE of what each of them said. She followed Silco's word's from her hallucination and tried to kill herself. Ekko did encourage her to try and build something new. But I think more importantly he helped her understand that "Walking away" didn't necessarily mean kill herself. So I think in he decision at the end, she actually was following both of their words.
While I understand the show is called "Arcane" and not "Jinx & Vi", I feel like the showrunners got a bit lost in the sauce in season 2. We left season 1 with a (mostly) grounded and beautifully crafted story about mental health, found family and the disparity between classes. Then season 2 kind of devolved into a bunch of magic lights and gibberish and like 3 different villains they had to wrap up in like- one and a half episodes because they wrote themselves into a corner with this 3 Acts gimmick. I feel like all storylines got little to no closure and some storybeats led literally nowhere. For example what even happened with Ambessa, Mel and Black Rose at the end? Why waste time building up Jinx, Sevika and Isha as a post-Silco "found family" trio if that gets COMPLETELY abandoned in the last act? Isha is genuinely NEVER mentioned again and Sevika and Jinx don't even interact after episode 6. I also wish Vander & Silco's ideologies had a part to play this season, since all their fantastic dialogue doesn't amount to much in these 9 episodes. I enjoyed the season for what it was and I don't regret waiting 2-3 years for it. They delivered on spactacle and scope, but fell short on bringing back the essence of what made the first season stand out. The animation, voice acting and score were exceptional. I simply wish they didn't overextend narratively as much as they did and stuck to what made season 1 such a timeless piece of media. Feel free to express your own opinions and/or disagree with me! I hope everyone enjoyed this journey!
Great reaction as usual! Enjoyed watching these from when you did s1. I had similar feelings about this episode but I’m excited for the next series they do. Looks like they’ve got three different ones in development in the LoL universe atm so now we wait haha
Yes, this is the last season, BUT they are working on spins off in different locations, and since Jinx's death was left open-ended, I'm hoping she'll be coming back in future shows.
incase you didnt know they are already working on a another series, just not with the arcane theme and not in piltover/zhaun, most likely going to be noxus themed with the teasers of swain and le blanc, so dont be too sad about it it may be the end for the arcane series but not the end of series theyll produce, i myself am left with a hole in my heart after it ended too but atleast a lil restauration knowing they continue to make series
There’s still a decent chance of seeing them again because there’s 3 more story’s confirmed showing off different regions so we could see cameos of them as less important characters
I think for sure they will do more league of legends shows, no way they dont with how succesfull this one was. As a league player theres tons of more characters and story lines to explore this isnt even 10% of the whole lore. So while the did technically state they wont be more seasons of arcane after 2 seasons but they never said anything about another league show jsut not called arcane!
Jinx shouldn't have died she got into a vent and survived and that are ship you saw leaving she had to be on it when she was a kid she said she was going to ride one one day now if it happens like it should she should leave piltover and go to the kingdom of damasio where she will meet her best friend according to her old lore at least she should go to demacia and meet Lux a girl who is jinx's best friend and that would open up a new arcane spin-off series
The ending was shit. It was so cliché how jinx "went out". Boring and obvious. I'm also not a fan that they imply that she survived. Unnecessary, but overall it was still an entertaining show
She's alive thats what singed wanted, does it matter if she is in a mechanical body or a meat suit. I guess to some the meat suit is important to me its being alive, her soul and conscience is in the mechanical body so she can adventure, explore maybe live for years who knows its not like she a bookshelf stuck unable to live. She could go on adventures, make connections with others, she does look somethings but nothing that truly matters. *she can't have her own children* we watched as Vander and Silko adopted their kids and loved them just as much . *Can't find a partner to love her like that* why not they live in a world of magic and mystical beings why cant their be a someone that sees past her physical body and see her soul. Now I know how modern media is written where if they come back in a future season/series she maybe complain about what she lost, and it will be written where she is right singed is wrong but that's stupid

Watching the last explosion frame by frame makes it pretty clear what happens to Jinx.

Heimer & Ekko MVP's
without them we would've gotten the bad ending with Jayce kneeling on top of the dome
