It's more just what the entire show has been. Multiple people with different, often conflicting motivations all trying to solve their own individual problems and they each inevitably end up having consequences for everyone else. Vi, Jinx, Vander and Isha find a plateau of stability for a moment amidst the chaos, but the world is bigger than just them and moves forward whether its wanted or not.

It's a great way to highlight just how much of a tactician and strategist Caitlyn really is, copying a move that was done to her once with perfect accuracy. It's those small details that give the characters that much more depth!!!!!
"I will not sacrifice his humanity for your cause. You may leave." Wow!! That was a calm way of Viktor telling Singed to get lost. He knows what Singed is capable of and he doesn't want to kill anyone for Singed's or Ambessa's own personal gain, including Vander.
And Cait wiped the spit to her mouth! She could've wiped it any other way but chose to put it towards her mouth!! Cait a little...does she need to say something to Vi? 🤣
Isha's sacrifice broke me in more ways than I thought possible. The saddest part is since she never spoke, Jinx won't even be able to hold onto her as a voice in her head.

@@LivingFire_BurningFlameReally? Because I've seen you do the same thing, just with different accounts. Such as the one right below you. So get off your high horse.
I wonder if Vi’s three rules she learned from Vander about trust have to do with two things. One, her “shut up” lesson to Mylo. And two, her lesson to Caitlyn about “letting people think you have what they want.” “See this look on my face? This will always mean it’s time to shut up.” So, Vi saw something in Caitlyn’s face to know she could trust her sincerity? Vi also seemed to see something in Jinx’s tearful eyes to know she was telling the truth about Vander being alive. And looking back, Vi does tend to let her opponents talk and talk while she listens and plans her next move. Like with Silco outside her old house, or when Ekko kidnapped and interrogated her, or when Caitlyn implores Ekko to give back the gemstone.
Fortiche writers' room: "So how do we help Vi and Jinx reconcile?"- "How about we bring in a cute little kid to be Jinx's little sister friend?"-"Yes, I love that!" (the monkey's paw curls)
(Spoiler free) I just finished the last 3 episodes (7,8 and 9) and let me tell you, never have I experienced such emotion come from within me throughout anything I have ever done in my entire life. Im not even that emotional of a person, but this completely broke me. I have no idea how the people that worked on this show were able to create something so... pure and emotional, yet also something so beautiful and touching. When this show only had season 1 out, I had it tied with a few other shows as one of the best shows ever made, but after finishing season 2, I can unequivocally say that Arcane is THE BEST piece of fictional media to have ever been made, and thats comparing it to any other tv show or movie or even video games. Nothing has ever changed me such as this show has, and I am grateful to have been able to experience such a masterpiece, and I cant wait to see Elijah witness act 3 and completely fall apart the same way I did.
Even when Vander lost control, he tried not to hurt Jinx and Vi. And he was crying, he knew exactly what was going on. So horrifying and heartbreaking. Rule one of Arcane: If there's even a hint of happiness, it's only so they can take it away later.
"Those who inspire our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil." Victor last line hits so hard. If Isha is really gone Jinx will never be Powder again.
Vi getting interrogated by Ambessa is so good! Vi would be perfect for Noxus but Vi is too rebellious in spirit. But Vi knows, unlike Ambessa, that Caitlyn is also rebellious in spirit too. And the fact Ambessa chooses to tell Vi that she did steal Caitlyn’s heart as though this would hurt Vi before she’d kill her, is practically laughable in Vi’s POV. “Don’t worry, she’s not distracted.” ;)
I initially thought that Jinx saw Isha as a little sister and that Jinx would understand how it feels to be a big sis like Vi. While that's true, Act 2 revealed a deeper bond between Jinx and Isha. It’s more like how Silco sees Jinx as a daughter Jinx sees Isha as more than a sibling, almost like a daughter to her.
Honestly, Arcane has been an incredibly, encompassing story about life. The truth is life doesn’t work like a story with “and they lived happily ever after”. As the trailer said, “Every ending… has a new beginning.” And Viktor says, “Evolution has a destination. Not to combat nature, but to supersede it.” All the characters in this story constantly evolve, constantly affect each others lives, and can never escape our capacity to perform our greatest good and our greatest evil… because life keeps happening. Life isn’t a short and sweet story with a neat beginning, middle, and ending. New things will constantly happen to us our whole lives. Every time we think a trauma or an event is going to destroy us, the story continues. Over and over, we are going to face new trauma, or pain, or feel incredible loss. But we’re still here, even if we’re questioning, “why?” If we looked at the world as a whole, we would undoubtedly believe humanity isn’t worth saving. But if we look just through our individual eyes at the people who loved us, who touched our lives, we believe that is worth saving.
"Ever since you dropped into my life, it's like I put on glasses. Except I can't tell whether everything's blurry or clear." Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That was such a sweet thing for Jinx to say to Isha. I think that when Jinx met her, she stopped hearing all the voices in her head because Isha is mute, where she represents those voices going away and Jinx making peace with herself. Isha survived the Undercity by herself, became best friends with Jinx, helped the Undercity rally together, and eased the conflict between Vi and Jinx. She's such an amazing character and really helped out Jinx a lot.
seeing Warwick and Vander fight for control was heartbreaking but also heartwarming at the same time but when Warwick went berserk after Viktor's death was absolutely devastating on all levels
This one...this one made me cry to read... -Season 2 Episode 6 Isha's Song Lyrics Translation (Vocals by Eason Chen): Child, don't be afraid of the thorns With your barefoot You can find the essence of the world You see, the sky is turning grey How stunning the firework was No need for too much sorrow It's human nature, blossom and withered Yet, even stubborn rocks and barriers Bloom with flowers Push aside the mountains Let her sees me Tell those stars To shine onto me Blow away the dark clouds With that blue in my heart Even if the world is full of desolation We can lift our heads up and see the moon When we are still in the guise of children As one among millions, still must blossom into a solitary and splendid flower Don't wander in troubles anymore Don't forget Even if tears flow, keep running forward Run until even time cannot be found Be a carefree flying bird Push aside the mountains Let her sees me Tell those stars To shine onto me Blow away the dark clouds With that blue in my heart Even if the world is full of desolation We can lift our heads up and see the moon When we are still in the guise of children As one among millions, still must blossom into a solitary and splendid flower Don't wander in troubles anymore Don't forget Even if tears flow, keep running forward Run until even time cannot be found Be a carefree flying bird Stop searching Give me a hug Just quietly forget I'm fine the way I am -It's either those Lyrics or these: Children, don't be afraid of thorns and bare feet You can find precious things Look at this sky How beautiful are the black fireworks No need for too much sadness People are flourishing and withering But the stubborn rocks and barriers are also blooming Clear the mountains Let her look at me Tell the stars Light me up quickly Blow away the dark clouds Use a touch of blue Then the world is full We are desolate You can see the moon when you raise your head When we are still children Be a lonely fragrance that will bloom even though there are thousands of people Don’t be sad anymore Annoyance Don’t forget Even if you shed tears, you have to keep running You can’t even find the time when you run Be a bird in the sky Clear the mountains Let her see me Tell the stars Light me up quickly Blow away the dark clouds Use a touch of blue Forget it The world is full of desolation. We When we raise our heads, we can see the moon When we were still children To be a lonely fragrance that blooms even though there are thousands of people Don’t No matter how sad or troubled you are Don’t forget Even if you shed tears, you have to keep running You can’t even find the time when you run Be a bird in the sky 💜 😢
The way Jinx asks, “We?” to Vi twice in different contexts, and Vi smiles for the first time in forever! I sort of wish Vi and Jinx got a chance to hold hands or side hug each other at the “grave” where their house was, on their own, without Vander, to show their relationship is healing. Maybe in act three?
Isha is a good representation of Powder and young Vi. Her eyes are neither pink or blue, but yellow. Isha stole Vi’s gemstones from her gauntlets along with Jinx’s gem from her pistol. If you include Viktor’s question about fate, then Isha sacrificing herself is symbolic that Powder was always fated to die. The events of that night with the monkey bomb were always going to happen. But this time, Isha/Powder is somehow okay with it. She reminded Jinx what was good about the life of Powder. She even holds up Jinx’s pistol like the blue flare. Vander returning wasn’t just another chance for the sisters at a life with him, it was another chance at life after he is gone for good.
I knew this would happen. This show never had mercy with kids, so I knew something like this would happen, but didn't expected to hurt so. *DAMN. MUCH!* RIP Isha, you deserved the world.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What hurts me the most about that death scene was that I know that feeling where you finally find someone who you’re comfortable with as a friend where you can just be yourself and then you lose them later on… it’s not fun it’s really hard
I didn't realize how much I had missed Vander until this act....He was the light for Zaun because he couldn't bring them to the light himself. If half the men were as good as Vander the world would be so much better.
God, you spotting that frame of Isha in the opening had me cry-laughing from "Oh god, they TOLD US WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO!" Oh, and it is Ambessa - the black and red is Noxus' colors, and my interpretation of the opening (prior to seeing the final Act) is that Mel is worried she'll follow the same path as her mother, and that the Black Rose organization will be the one to lead her down it. And a few people have pointed out that most people will wipe the spit *away* from the mouth, but Caitlyn actually wiped it *towards* her mouth - you may commence the squeals of lesbian delight at that realization.
4:44 This is rune magic Runeterra's magic comes from three sources: Celestial Magic, Spirit Magic, and Elemental Magic. Rune Magic is a form of elemental magic, Elemental Magic deals with the manipulation of the physical world and the physical laws and rules of reality (Physics), as Jayce explained they use the runes as an inherent language of the physical realm for various effects Celestial Magic deals with creation and pure ideals, thus can also include maintenance, change and destruction. (celestial realm) Spirit Magic deals with mental and emotional concepts, life as well as reality and the perception of it. (spirit realm)
I can't read the comments. Someone started writing about episode 8, which I haven't seen yet. So, I don't know if this has been said, but seriously, Elijah, I don't know how you spot the little one-frame glimpses of these things. First you did it in the "Enemy" music video, spotting the quick flash from Powder to Jinx when she pointed her finger-gun at the passing enforcers. And this season you spotted the changes in the intro... at least well-enough to go through each intro frame by frame to be sure to catch them all. I don't know how you do it. I can't see them even when I'm looking for them unless I go frame by frame too. No one else I've watched reactions from has ever pointed them out. You're the only one. And it's amazing.
This was my initial response to episode 6: If you'll excuse me I'm just gonna...I'm just gonna...*walks over to the far dark corner of the room and gets in a fetal position, bawling eyes out.*
👏 Great reaction video! You are always so insightful about this series! You mentioning that perhaps Ambessa may not be herself and it may have to do something with the black rose had me scratching my head. (Not sure what the whole deal with the rose is though). I have to say, this episode wasn’t a cliffhanger, but it sure went out with a bang! Seems like Isha just wanted to protect Jinx, the one she looked up to, no matter what. Whew… 😮💨 This season has definitely been a rollercoaster. Looking forward to your next reaction video for this series 😊
Okay so this took me a little to figure out but, Mel isn't the half siblings that was born when Ambessa fell in love. The child of Ambessa and the other dude IS THE BLACK ROSE!! When the black rose said " sister" to Mel that was the black rose AKA Mel and her brother's half sibling!!
While losing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time. Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it. So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness. Of all the reaction videos for this episode that were done....yours was the one I waited for the most!
I think she missed the Glorious Evolution. That moment was a nice treat for us, lorereaders. And how when Warwick exits the tent, the music is the same one as when Vander leaves his holding cell in 1x3. Hits just right..
“That which inspires us to our greatest good, is also the source of our greatest evil” ~ Riot and Fortiche’s attitude toward telling the best story they can while hitting me in the feels harder than I’ve been hit in years.
In the flash backs while isha is running at the end, the shot with them both using spray cans to paint lines on the wall basically tells their story together. From where it touches, (first meeting) to the lines going apart ( don’t know each other) to the lines coming closer together as the bond forms between them. Then Jinx continues off screen abut the scene cuts before Isha can as her story gets cut short, and jinx has to keep going alone. Absolutely breaks my heart
So the thing Rictus has that repels magic is an item from the game called Kaenic Rucern. It is created by the Black Rose, Ambessa seems to have stolen it and use it against them
Just imagine what Cait must think of Vi's family after finding out her sister is a psycho terrorist, and her dad is a blood-thirsty murderous beast. Also RIP Isha. She will be missed.
Caitlyn: "You look like an angry oil slick." Vi: "Don't sugarcoat it, cupcake." Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I also had the same reaction as Caitlyn and Elijah!!! I'm so happy to see that Vi called her Cupcake again!!!!!
It bothers me so much that there's ppl out there who think Isha has no character like 😭😭😭😭 SHE'S A LITTLE HERO!!!! SHE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT JINX COULD BE A HERO TOO!!! Isha truly saw good things in jinx and that absolutely shook her to her core 😭 even isha's final act is one of heroism
I was also screaming 'LET THEM HAVE MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS' when I was watching the episode, your reaction is so valid! Even watching this again now makes me cry. Losing both Viktor and Isha in the same episode absolutely broke me. I wasn't a huge Jayce/Viktor shipper, but I did low-key ship them and wished for them. Just watching Jayce do that without no explanation, it's heartbreaking. Viktor's one of my favorites. And little Isha reminded me so much of Powder trying to help. Poor Jinx, this isn't going to help her in any way. She was finally doing so much better!
seeing this episode/their childhood flashbacks after the finale is extra upsetting, all the trauma they went through... i wish they could've been happy together
This Act 2 of Arcane just broke my mind. It's great to see Theory about Mel from Ambesa Cinematic Blood sweat and tears that she is Chosen of the Wolf is comfirned. #Gold glowing magic which even saved her and Jayce forn Jinx's rocket. And Necrit on his channel too didn't understand how good this was write by a human being.
I can't watch this without crying, no matter how many times I've seen it. My shirt's all wet, my chin was quivering; Isha's sacrifice just breaks me. She runs to her death with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. The first time we see Jinx do the finger gun 'pew,' it's to thank Isha for the assist (throwing the smoke bomb as a distraction in episode two). The last thing Isha does before pulling the trigger is to give Jinx a finger gun 'pew,' thanking her for everything. Jinx gave her joy, safety, and a family. Also, given Isha is non verbal, she may not have been able to tell Jinx her name. I wonder if Jinx was the one to start calling her Isha, perhaps naming her after her mother Felicia [Fel-Isha]. I can't imagine the pain Jinx must have felt from losing Isha. The latest person to get close to her, only to wind up dead.
I like to think that when Vander was losing himself and he killed Rictus, it wasn't the beast killing him but it was Vander trying to defend his children one final time.

Ep. 7 made my heart grow three sizes. ABSOLUTE CINEMA. ALL OF IT!!!
@@scallywag-rascal I loved that episode so much!
I can feel every single word.
Arcane changed a piece of me forever
Episode 7 is my favorite. So lovely and sad at the same time.
Oh no i haven’t watched it yet im scared-
Even when Vander lost control, he tried not to hurt Jinx and Vi. And he was crying, he knew exactly what was going on. So horrifying and heartbreaking. Rule one of Arcane: If there's even a hint of happiness, it's only so they can take it away later.
Because he's a true father. It's so painful to watch him suffer.
As if Asha's death wasn't painful enough.😭
Amanda follows that rule to the letter.
I was sobbing so hard.😭
They sure do a good job following that rule.
I finished the finale of season 2, can say Elijah you will be emotionally destroyed!
I'm just waiting for her episode 8 reaction😂

@@AlphariusCLHsame here. She’s going to lose it.
"Those who inspire our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil." Victor last line hits so hard. If Isha is really gone Jinx will never be Powder again.
Vi getting interrogated by Ambessa is so good! Vi would be perfect for Noxus but Vi is too rebellious in spirit.
But Vi knows, unlike Ambessa, that Caitlyn is also rebellious in spirit too.
And the fact Ambessa chooses to tell Vi that she did steal Caitlyn’s heart as though this would hurt Vi before she’d kill her, is practically laughable in Vi’s POV.
“Don’t worry, she’s not distracted.” ;)
I initially thought that Jinx saw Isha as a little sister and that Jinx would understand how it feels to be a big sis like Vi. While that's true, Act 2 revealed a deeper bond between Jinx and Isha. It’s more like how Silco sees Jinx as a daughter Jinx sees Isha as more than a sibling, almost like a daughter to her.
"is there anything more undoing than a daughter" Isha was definitely Jinx's daughter
I just finished Act 3, and may I say you aint ready. Good luck soldier
Honestly, Arcane has been an incredibly, encompassing story about life. The truth is life doesn’t work like a story with “and they lived happily ever after”. As the trailer said, “Every ending… has a new beginning.” And Viktor says, “Evolution has a destination. Not to combat nature, but to supersede it.” All the characters in this story constantly evolve, constantly affect each others lives, and can never escape our capacity to perform our greatest good and our greatest evil… because life keeps happening. Life isn’t a short and sweet story with a neat beginning, middle, and ending. New things will constantly happen to us our whole lives. Every time we think a trauma or an event is going to destroy us, the story continues. Over and over, we are going to face new trauma, or pain, or feel incredible loss. But we’re still here, even if we’re questioning, “why?” If we looked at the world as a whole, we would undoubtedly believe humanity isn’t worth saving. But if we look just through our individual eyes at the people who loved us, who touched our lives, we believe that is worth saving.
"Ever since you dropped into my life, it's like I put on glasses. Except I can't tell whether everything's blurry or clear."
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That was such a sweet thing for Jinx to say to Isha. I think that when Jinx met her, she stopped hearing all the voices in her head because Isha is mute, where she represents those voices going away and Jinx making peace with herself. Isha survived the Undercity by herself, became best friends with Jinx, helped the Undercity rally together, and eased the conflict between Vi and Jinx. She's such an amazing character and really helped out Jinx a lot.
seeing Warwick and Vander fight for control was heartbreaking but also heartwarming at the same time but when Warwick went berserk after Viktor's death was absolutely devastating on all levels
I just watched final
I WAS NOT READY
When Vi touches foreheads with Warwick, she says, “We’re gonna get you out,” to Vander, just like in episode three!
This one...this one made me cry to read...
-Season 2 Episode 6 Isha's Song Lyrics Translation (Vocals by Eason Chen):
Child, don't be afraid of the thorns
With your barefoot
You can find the essence of the world
You see, the sky is turning grey
How stunning the firework was
No need for too much sorrow
It's human nature, blossom and withered
Yet, even stubborn rocks and barriers
Bloom with flowers
Push aside the mountains
Let her sees me
Tell those stars
To shine onto me
Blow away the dark clouds
With that blue in my heart
Even if the world is full of desolation
We can lift our heads up and see the moon
When we are still in the guise of children
As one among millions, still must blossom into a solitary and splendid flower
Don't wander in troubles anymore
Don't forget
Even if tears flow, keep running forward
Run until even time cannot be found
Be a carefree flying bird
Push aside the mountains
Let her sees me
Tell those stars
To shine onto me
Blow away the dark clouds
With that blue in my heart
Even if the world is full of desolation
We can lift our heads up and see the moon
When we are still in the guise of children
As one among millions, still must blossom into a solitary and splendid flower
Don't wander in troubles anymore
Don't forget
Even if tears flow, keep running forward
Run until even time cannot be found
Be a carefree flying bird
Stop searching
Give me a hug
Just quietly forget
I'm fine the way I am
-It's either those Lyrics or these:
Children, don't be afraid of thorns and bare feet
You can find precious things
Look at this sky How beautiful are the black fireworks
No need for too much sadness
People are flourishing and withering
But the stubborn rocks and barriers are also blooming
Clear the mountains
Let her look at me
Tell the stars
Light me up quickly
Blow away the dark clouds
Use a touch of blue
Then the world is full We are desolate
You can see the moon when you raise your head
When we are still children
Be a lonely fragrance that will bloom even though there are thousands of people
Don’t be sad anymore Annoyance
Don’t forget
Even if you shed tears, you have to keep running
You can’t even find the time when you run
Be a bird in the sky
Clear the mountains
Let her see me
Tell the stars
Light me up quickly
Blow away the dark clouds
Use a touch of blue
Forget it The world is full of desolation. We
When we raise our heads, we can see the moon
When we were still children
To be a lonely fragrance that blooms even though there are thousands of people
Don’t No matter how sad or troubled you are
Don’t forget
Even if you shed tears, you have to keep running
You can’t even find the time when you run
Be a bird in the sky
💜 😢
I looked up the translation for the song too and cried even more than I did the first time watching the scene....
The way Jinx asks, “We?” to Vi twice in different contexts, and Vi smiles for the first time in forever!
I sort of wish Vi and Jinx got a chance to hold hands or side hug each other at the “grave” where their house was, on their own, without Vander, to show their relationship is healing. Maybe in act three?
Isha is a good representation of Powder and young Vi. Her eyes are neither pink or blue, but yellow. Isha stole Vi’s gemstones from her gauntlets along with Jinx’s gem from her pistol. If you include Viktor’s question about fate, then Isha sacrificing herself is symbolic that Powder was always fated to die. The events of that night with the monkey bomb were always going to happen. But this time, Isha/Powder is somehow okay with it. She reminded Jinx what was good about the life of Powder. She even holds up Jinx’s pistol like the blue flare. Vander returning wasn’t just another chance for the sisters at a life with him, it was another chance at life after he is gone for good.
I knew this would happen. This show never had mercy with kids, so I knew something like this would happen, but didn't expected to hurt so. *DAMN. MUCH!* RIP Isha, you deserved the world.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What hurts me the most about that death scene was that I know that feeling where you finally find someone who you’re comfortable with as a friend where you can just be yourself and then you lose them later on… it’s not fun it’s really hard
Placing an order for a billion boxes of tissues
Love this series despite the heartbreak and your reaction to it Elijah! 😊
I didn't realize how much I had missed Vander until this act....He was the light for Zaun because he couldn't bring them to the light himself.
If half the men were as good as Vander the world would be so much better.
God, you spotting that frame of Isha in the opening had me cry-laughing from "Oh god, they TOLD US WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO!"
Oh, and it is Ambessa - the black and red is Noxus' colors, and my interpretation of the opening (prior to seeing the final Act) is that Mel is worried she'll follow the same path as her mother, and that the Black Rose organization will be the one to lead her down it.
And a few people have pointed out that most people will wipe the spit *away* from the mouth, but Caitlyn actually wiped it *towards* her mouth - you may commence the squeals of lesbian delight at that realization.
4:44 This is rune magic
Runeterra's magic comes from three sources: Celestial Magic, Spirit Magic, and Elemental Magic.
Rune Magic is a form of elemental magic, Elemental Magic deals with the manipulation of the physical world and the physical laws and rules of reality (Physics), as Jayce explained they use the runes as an inherent language of the physical realm for various effects
Celestial Magic deals with creation and pure ideals, thus can also include maintenance, change and destruction. (celestial realm)
Spirit Magic deals with mental and emotional concepts, life as well as reality and the perception of it. (spirit realm)
The one thing that struck me as soon as I saw the artstyle change when showing Vander's memories: watercolors are fragile.
Memories are fragile.
(Minor SPOILER)
17:29 “why is this so hot”
Me who watched the most recent three episodes this morning: “that’s a low simmer at best sweetie”
I can't read the comments. Someone started writing about episode 8, which I haven't seen yet. So, I don't know if this has been said, but seriously, Elijah, I don't know how you spot the little one-frame glimpses of these things. First you did it in the "Enemy" music video, spotting the quick flash from Powder to Jinx when she pointed her finger-gun at the passing enforcers. And this season you spotted the changes in the intro... at least well-enough to go through each intro frame by frame to be sure to catch them all. I don't know how you do it. I can't see them even when I'm looking for them unless I go frame by frame too.
No one else I've watched reactions from has ever pointed them out. You're the only one. And it's amazing.
That was such a heart wrenching episode. I just finished watching Act 3 now... can't wait to see your reactions to those last 3 episodes.
Vander’s memories of the girls as so cute! And how they blend into Vi’s memories are so sweet!
This was my initial response to episode 6:
If you'll excuse me I'm just gonna...I'm just gonna...*walks over to the far dark corner of the room and gets in a fetal position, bawling eyes out.*
You and Caitlin having the EXACT same reaction to "cupcake" at 14:59 is flawless. 😊
👏 Great reaction video! You are always so insightful about this series! You mentioning that perhaps Ambessa may not be herself and it may have to do something with the black rose had me scratching my head. (Not sure what the whole deal with the rose is though). I have to say, this episode wasn’t a cliffhanger, but it sure went out with a bang! Seems like Isha just wanted to protect Jinx, the one she looked up to, no matter what. Whew… 😮💨 This season has definitely been a rollercoaster. Looking forward to your next reaction video for this series 😊
6:57 She just spoiled it for herself💀
Plus, Vi punching Caitlyn’s net at Ambessa to show they are working together again! Wow!
Okay so this took me a little to figure out but, Mel isn't the half siblings that was born when Ambessa fell in love. The child of Ambessa and the other dude IS THE BLACK ROSE!! When the black rose said " sister" to Mel that was the black rose AKA Mel and her brother's half sibling!!
My interpretation was that “sister” wasn’t literal but like sister witches
While losing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time.
Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it. So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness.
Of all the reaction videos for this episode that were done....yours was the one I waited for the most!
Just Vander saying' "Dont.Touch.My Daughter. " hits so hard in the feels and as a dad myself I would say that there. Thanks for the shout out!
I don’t think I’m going to be able to emotionally recover from this episode
The real villains of this show are the writers. It should be illegal for anyone to be this cruel to our emotional well-being.
I think she missed the Glorious Evolution. That moment was a nice treat for us, lorereaders.
And how when Warwick exits the tent, the music is the same one as when Vander leaves his holding cell in 1x3. Hits just right..
WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO EPISODE 7👏👏👏
Elijah you better have tissues 👀😭
“That which inspires us to our greatest good, is also the source of our greatest evil” ~ Riot and Fortiche’s attitude toward telling the best story they can while hitting me in the feels harder than I’ve been hit in years.
In the flash backs while isha is running at the end, the shot with them both using spray cans to paint lines on the wall basically tells their story together. From where it touches, (first meeting) to the lines going apart ( don’t know each other) to the lines coming closer together as the bond forms between them. Then Jinx continues off screen abut the scene cuts before Isha can as her story gets cut short, and jinx has to keep going alone.
Absolutely breaks my heart
I NEED MORE REACTIONS! COME ON ELIJAH!
My genuine reaction to seeing this get posted:
“Oh no, oh no NSAF is not ready!”
RIP Isha, A lovely mute girl who touched our hearts, You won't be forgotten 😔❤️
When she sees episode 9 I'm not going to say anything about it but I literally cried
Oh Elijah...you ain't ready for the finale...
True true. She gon love ep 8 though
Now that we saw the finale.
Is it just me or we can never tell who becomes the actual villain in Arcane.
Ambessa??
So the thing Rictus has that repels magic is an item from the game called Kaenic Rucern. It is created by the Black Rose, Ambessa seems to have stolen it and use it against them
3:11 Gurl just wait till the end…😭
Just imagine what Cait must think of Vi's family after finding out her sister is a psycho terrorist, and her dad is a blood-thirsty murderous beast.
Also RIP Isha. She will be missed.
Cait: Loses her dang mind and hurts Vi, leaving her broken on the ground to go be a dictator.
Vi: “Cupcake”
Cait: 😍
Loved how Caitlyn´s and Elijah´s reaction to "cupcake" matched lol hahaha
"Can they be happy for more than 5 seconds!"
This is Arcane, they're lucky they got 5 seconds.
O geez...just finished ep 8. Elijah gonna need a defibrillator
I certainly did. 😆
ISHA DESERVES BETTER 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can't wait to see the reaction to THAT scene in episode 8. My speakers might blow out when it happens
3:58 The og gay panic🤣
Caitlyn and Vi reconcile with each other, but even this does not alleviate Isha's death 😢. My heart is still 💔
18:11 when Jinx puts on 'glasses' and the show highlights her left eye like Silco to indicate how she sees what Silco sees finally
I waited impatiently to see your reaction to this episode - the highs and the lows. So heartfelt with the laughter and the tears. We feel you.
Caitlyn: "You look like an angry oil slick."
Vi: "Don't sugarcoat it, cupcake."
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I also had the same reaction as Caitlyn and Elijah!!! I'm so happy to see that Vi called her Cupcake again!!!!!
It bothers me so much that there's ppl out there who think Isha has no character like 😭😭😭😭 SHE'S A LITTLE HERO!!!! SHE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT JINX COULD BE A HERO TOO!!! Isha truly saw good things in jinx and that absolutely shook her to her core 😭 even isha's final act is one of heroism
Told you... You weren't ready for it... But to be fair... Neither were we...
As someone else said, everyone expected her to die, yet, no one was ready :')
Riot when they see happiness in Arcane for 5 secs, the writer "Ight that enough!"
elijah will sob at act 3
I was also screaming 'LET THEM HAVE MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS' when I was watching the episode, your reaction is so valid! Even watching this again now makes me cry. Losing both Viktor and Isha in the same episode absolutely broke me. I wasn't a huge Jayce/Viktor shipper, but I did low-key ship them and wished for them. Just watching Jayce do that without no explanation, it's heartbreaking. Viktor's one of my favorites. And little Isha reminded me so much of Powder trying to help. Poor Jinx, this isn't going to help her in any way. She was finally doing so much better!
"One who captured Caitlyn's heart."
Ohhh. Ambessa also knew that Caitlyn was in love with Vi!!!
seeing this episode/their childhood flashbacks after the finale is extra upsetting, all the trauma they went through... i wish they could've been happy together
This Act 2 of Arcane just broke my mind.
It's great to see Theory about Mel from Ambesa Cinematic Blood sweat and tears that she is Chosen of the Wolf is comfirned. #Gold glowing magic which even saved her and Jayce forn Jinx's rocket.
And Necrit on his channel too didn't understand how good this was write by a human being.
The fact the dogs barked during the "Glorious evolution" line is heartbreaking.
Can't wait for ep 8, lol
I can't watch this without crying, no matter how many times I've seen it. My shirt's all wet, my chin was quivering; Isha's sacrifice just breaks me. She runs to her death with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. The first time we see Jinx do the finger gun 'pew,' it's to thank Isha for the assist (throwing the smoke bomb as a distraction in episode two). The last thing Isha does before pulling the trigger is to give Jinx a finger gun 'pew,' thanking her for everything. Jinx gave her joy, safety, and a family.
Also, given Isha is non verbal, she may not have been able to tell Jinx her name. I wonder if Jinx was the one to start calling her Isha, perhaps naming her after her mother Felicia [Fel-Isha]. I can't imagine the pain Jinx must have felt from losing Isha. The latest person to get close to her, only to wind up dead.
Guys, wait till Elijah sees THAT scene in episode 8😉
Vander’s monster music plays as he loses himself to Warwick. No!
You are NOT ready for episode 7
I like to think that when Vander was losing himself and he killed Rictus, it wasn't the beast killing him but it was Vander trying to defend his children one final time.
