Omg that part when Vi enters the scene accompanied by the rock version is pure chills and so tragic, and the way the background music builds up to this moment is just goosebumps
Yeah, when we see Vi, the Piltover Enforcer, it's like the makers of Arcane were screaming *"THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR since Season 1!" at us.* That was so hype. 😋

@@arthurchen6464 pretty sure they’ve said they write the music in parallel with the script, I know this was played at worlds but it would not surprise me if this was a later decision
I both sobbed and had my jaw dropped watching this scene. Caitlyn’s character push will be immense this season, I’m beyond excited to see where she goes from here.
@EverGreatest-zm1ez yeah that's kinda what happens when people who are comfortable expressing emotions are viewing an emotionally charged piece of media they're invested in It's completely normal that's what the media is DESIGNED to invoke
I also love how the lyrics “this is what you asked for” apply first at the beginning to Caitlyn, as it’s like an answer to Jinx, she’s the primary reason what made Caitlyn do that. And then at the end they also apply to Vi as she joins the squad because Caitlyn asked her to do so in the first place. Oh man…
It's incredible what you can achieve when you put together people who actually know what they're doing. I can't believe we have so many crappy tv shows and only one Arcane.
@@bradipulp Other shows also have competent people working on them. The difference is just Arcane having huge budget and higher ups and investors not meddling in the production
I mean Heavy is the crown is pretty much like OG Linkin Park , it is very similar to Meteora/Hybrid Theory , I don't know how could someone like rock music and not like og LP @@konyvmaraton5150
I'm a huge critic of shows and animation but this show is 100% THAT show that comes around once a decade. It's phenomenal and the first 3 episodes of Season 2 are fantastic. I went in with high expectations and I was still surprised.
When Vi shows up in the enforcer uniform... one of the BEST scenes of the whole show for me, can't get it out of my head. The music fits more than perfectly. Love it!
after watching and finishing the third episode of the second season, the meaning of this song and this moment becomes, oh so clear... well, the crown is heavy...
I love the second season so far Also my favourite scene is daily reminder that the worst day in life of Piltover officer is chill tuesday morning for Noxian soilder
I had goosebumps when LP performed this song live in Hamburg for the first time. Then i had goosebumps by watching Worlds MV, then again i had many goosebumps during Worlds opening ceremony, and now they found another way to give me another portion of goosebumps. This song is already legendary - just within 2 months.
I didn’t even listen to the opening song of the season until the end... but this... this is completely different. I really feel what she’s singing about.
That Probably why Mike Shinoda...choose Emily such a New Vocalist on Linkin Park! Emily have wide Vocal Range and Voices! And Emily have hidden Gem on Part their Voices.
Arcane IS PEAK! After this season 2, there is no more doubt, and anyone say that this show is lesser than ANY show out there, NOT Marvel, NOT DC, NOT any Anime can be this PEAK!
Damn, the gathering of Enforcers at the end.... and then Vi appearing from the shadows with Emily shouting "Heavy is The Crown" gave me total chills man....
This is one of the reasons why I believed in Emily stepping in for Chester, this version of the song in particular is SO BADASS I cried from overjoy just watching this scene!
watched when act 1 came out but literally i have to say emily armstrong’s vocals over caitlyn kiramman they literally did this for me this is my calling em armstrong and cait kiramman is literally my brand
To everyone saying Emily can't sing: shut up pls and listen to this, she is absolutly AMAZING!!!!! she can scream, she can sing quietly, she can sing in a deeper voice like she can sing soooo much variations! F*ck the haters!!!!
This song is actually amazing and fits Caitlyns anger so well omg 😭 okay but did anyone else realise that the frills on her neck kinda look like the casing of a cupcake? :)
Putting THIS song in the 1st episode of SEASON 2 of Arcane is such a good idea. Beacuse THIS IS WHAT WE ASKED FOR, for Caitlyn to rise and to Vi to become the enforcer Vi we know from the game, from Jayce to put it all once again in Hextech and for this show to be amazing! WHAT A WAY TO START SEASON 2! You killed it!
I'm addicted to this version of the song! The vibe is soooo incredible, soft and then the voice raises... Arhhh I neeeeeed a complete version of it ❤❤❤
I saw the title of this episode, and I thought "oh hey Linkin Park came out with a song called that recently, what a funny coincidence" and then I heard *this.* Genuine chills, holy shit.
I didn't watch the first season of Arcane. I watched the premiere episode on twitch due to coincidence and this version of the song alongside Cait taking charge made it unforgettable. When I have time I need to watch the first season.

"I know you doubt the merit of your birthright, Caitlyn. There's wisdom in that.
But remember: You're a Kiramman".

I listened to the song through Linkin park and when the show started playing it i was like, "why does this sound familiar" lol

absolute masterpiece, the song and the show, pure perfection.
nice nod to Worlds "Heavy is the crown", mike still starts off the song with the light humming, passing the torch to emily.

Reminds me of wake
This is an absolute masterpiece. Arcane’s an absolute one in a million show. Loving every second.
GOD DAMN THIS HITS SO HARD!!!!
how in the f riot managed to make a song with linkin park that suits both faker at worlds and caitlyn in arcane
and emily herself
this version is goated i hope we get a full version like this cause the darker tone is so good
Great version of this song! Perfect version of this song for this show.
Caitlin scene finding about The Gray with this song... feels like heaven
I love how it has this dark somewhat distorted like cyberpunk vibe
