@@shinkamuiexactly. Jinx is so lethargic from depression she barely has the energy to move her eyes in Ekko’s direction, let alone consider cause and effect of the blast. Only when he brings it to her attention that he doesn’t want to die, does she choose to fall for his sake.
I just realized, Ekko mistakenly called Jinx Powder because he became used to calling her Powder on that alternate universe where they were in love 😭😭😭 KILL MEEE
@@gustavogabriel991 no, when vi talks with ekko in season 1 he says that powder is dead and its onky jinx now, thats why in the au he tells powder that he gave up on her
@matumcwrap yes he said that, but he still say pownder instead of jinx a lot of times, I think this is a way to him lie to himself, like he can accept who she is now but I don't think he thinks they are that different, in the end he came back because he knows the person he meet when they are kids are still there
A kinda sad detail is that usually Jinx's grenades, like normal grenades, explode with a delay of few seconds. This means that she built this grenade with no delay only for blowing up herself.
Ekko still cares about someone who was once his friend, despite their differences. It takes a lot of empathy to do what he did for Jinx, and this was heartbreaking.
@@Angel.sunflower_ No, you're the confused one. I''m saying, in response to your "it takes a lot of empathy...", that he doesn't need empathy to know that Jinx would be an asset and that it'd be a waste to lose her like that.
that kinda disappointed me when there was more meaningless scene that got more screentime then this scene where ekko really convinced her to join him....
i really appreciate how they nail the complete apathy and emptiness of someone on the brink of suicide. she barely has the will to move her eyes, but ekko gives her the slightest energy to listen
It's important that Ekko is the one to save Jinx here because, unlike Vi, he watched Powder transform into Jinx. Even when she still went by Powder, she was broken in ways Vi never acknowledged. Vi also never saw everything Jinx was capable of or all of the terrible things she did in the 7 years she was away. Jinx never murdered anyone close to Vi. (Yes, she killed Mylo, Claggor, and Vander, but that was accidental.) Jinx is responsible for the deaths of several of Ekko's friends. He watched her help Silco corrupt the Lanes. He's seen her darkest of darkness and still chooses to forgive her.
Idk man everyone over states how nice jinx is. Like I understand she's not totally evil but she was a legit terrorist that blew up dozens of people. (She also blew him up on the bridge in season 1 when echo hesitated)
@DubGamin420 I do understand that she is constantly hammered and heavily drained mentally from her various mental illness that lead to a borderline full psychosis condition.I have a pretty bad case of ocd for a decade now and could relate to some of her struggles but hurting others because you are tired of your own suffering and "don't care anymore" is never the right choice.
Thing is ekko is barely present during act 1 and absent from act 2 last time he saw jinx was the bridge fight and last thing he heard was that she blew up the council . So he has no knowledge of the isha/vander/hero of zaun situation yet he still decided to forgive her
The "someone worth building it for" line confused me at first but it was an answer to the silent question jinx would have had "who helped you build that" when she saw the monkeys in the Z-Drive damn
Because its the most character driven part of the show this season. Thats was the real power of arcane. Everything else was cool but started to go God Mode like late show Naruto. God mode without character reason is boring.
"no matter what happened in the past, it's never too late to build something new. Someone worth building it for." and jinx's tears writing VI backwards the same way she wrote jinx backwards on her other cheek.
I think when Ekko said, "someone worth building it for," Jinx thought of Vi. She wanted to create a better place, one she couldn’t give to Isha and one Vi couldn’t give to Powder, despite trying so hard. So, Jinx came back to save the city for Vi and died saving her. Because after losing everyone, she only had Vi, who was worth building it for. However, she left again because she believed she had gone too far to ever give Vi her sister, Powder back, and Jinx is someone Vi doesn't deserve. Also, she went away to break the cycle and I guess to again find herself, maybe not Powder but a better version of Jinx. I believe after Isha's death, she finally understands why Vi left her home during that rescue mission and how she would have done the same and she did it with Isha during the fight with Vander. And she would've done that again if the Act 2 fight wasn't so sudden. Anyway, I am really happy that Jinx is alive. Vi spent her whole life blaming herself for the deaths of her siblings and Vander, and abandoning Powder, therefore, creating Jinx. I can’t bear to imagine her blaming herself again if Jinx were to die. I hope she finds out about Jinx soon because, as much as I admire Vi as an individual, I love the sisters together the most.
I like that Jinx's tears and mascara looks like the name tattoo VI has on her cheek but in reverse. Especially considering Jinx is trying to sacrifice herself so that VI can lead a happy life with Cait and the previous scene which was all about this conflict between the two sisters. VI always fights to protect others but now Jinx is trying to end herself instead to protect others as well. The same concept but in reverse.
Also the Roman Numeral for 6 is VI which looks exactly like VI's name and Jinx's tears/her reversed version is IV which in roman numeral is the number 4. Which is a very significant number for both Ekko and Jinx as we know from episode 7.
Ekko realized he still wanted to give her another chance or rather help powder give herself another chance after seeing what she could have been if things didnt turned out so grim in their time line
0:43 I think Jinx knows what Ekko was doing by not look away from him while pulling the pin, and that's why she said "You're too late, Ekko." Is such a neat detail.
They left it that way for a reason. It allows for the ending to be ambiguous. Because he could have explained to her who she was in an alternate timeline and I think that could explain her renewed will to live and the potential survival in the end.
I just listened to the full version of this song and it actually ends with words "don't let me go". I thought it would have been rad if they played this part at the end of their dialogue
I just listened to the song. Holy fuck, it goes from, I know it’s my fault I’m here all alone please let me go, to, if it were t for you I’d be here alone don’t let me go. I’m crying right now, this might be a new leave from the vine 😭😭😭
Even though ekko rewinds time by 4 seconds, he still retains some of the damage he took in those 4 seconds. It’s like this in the game. That’s why each time he saved jinx he was more burned and bleeding on top of his makeup fading. Oh yeah, he also remembers the sensation of each blast after every rewind.
This scene is exactly why I hate the cait and vi s$x scene they really didn’t have to do it you know they only did it to appease the hardcover shipper fans which I would have no problem with if that screen time couldn’t have had a better use. This is one of the best scenes in the show and should have had a lot more considering ekko and jinx’s backstory’s but after this jinx is just ok again which not only takes away from the ekko and jinx conflict which was built up since season 1 it also takes away from ishas death with this quick sad montage
Jinx tried to blow herself up each time the same way the Hextech jewel blew up. 1st: when she stole it from Jayce 2nd: when it swallowed the doctor, 3: when she used it to save vander 4: when she used it vs piltover 5: when Isha used it 6: she drops with it as she does at the end. Accounting for each time Hextech was used to intervene to change the time-line it seems. (Maybe accounting for the loss of deaths that should have happened if not for intervention, Kindred must have their souls.
did jinx know that ekko went to an alternate universe? She briefly glances down at his z drive and sees the little monkeys so maybe she knows whats going on?
yeah thats why he said "someone worth building it for" he said that after she looks at it.. it was like a silent question from jinx "who helped you build that"
Why is no one talking about that one convo where Ekko called her powder instead of Jinx but changed it half way through. And you can clearly sense Jinx’s disappointment. She actually wished Ekko called her Powder.
Does anyone else notice that Jinx has VI spelled backwards below her eye? A tiny detail I noticed, but haven’t seen people talk about. What could it mean?
Ok this scene for me is not enough i think something more happen. I mean to convince Jinx it would take a lot more just saying building it for someone else.....Wish there is a directors cut or an extended version of arcane

It’s nice to see how when Ekko mentions not wanting to be blown up, Jinx tries to die in a way that won’t kill him; one last act of kindness
exactly, you saw that, in her mind, the she didn't want to harm a single other person but herself
Wdym, she didn't care the other times she tried to blow them both up@@prodbyelli

Okay but ngl this was lowkey funny he was like "GOSH GIRL LISTEN"
“WOMAN STOP PULLING THE DAMN PIN!”
“It’s too late-
“GOD DAMMI-

women ☕
More like “god damn girl listen!!”
"Always a dance with you..."
*mentally* "Will you STOP DOING THAT?! I just wanna talk!"
A kinda sad detail is that usually Jinx's grenades, like normal grenades, explode with a delay of few seconds. This means that she built this grenade with no delay only for blowing up herself.
makes sense, a grenade without cook time is only good for blowing yourself up
She also doesn’t pull the pin immediately when she dives off to not blow up Ekko too
Ekko still cares about someone who was once his friend, despite their differences. It takes a lot of empathy to do what he did for Jinx, and this was heartbreaking.
I mean... not really. He needed Jinx to rally the undersiders.
@@Adam-326

Ekko rewinds a third time: Will you PLEASE, just stop blowing me up
Jinx: K *Jumps down to blow up just herself*
I would never let Jinx stop blowing me ☠️☠️
I also realize jinx saw the monkeys in his time device.
It kind of makes me sad that Ekko had to literally go to an alternate dimension to realize that he should give Jinx another chance.
She killed some of the Firelights, I understand it, but it's still sad

Each time Ekko rewinds an explosion, you can see his hourglass symbol on his face fades away more and more
That's because of the explosion he gets hurt everytime
@ that is correct, blast wipes it off
When Ekko rewinds the time, his body still keeps the damage that was taken before
@ I Know, I main Ekko, I know his lore :”)

yeah because that confused me aswell lol i had to sit here and put 2n2 together
Certified "i can fix her" moment
Jinx: *About to commit die*
Vi: 🧁
Hey Cait we need to prepare for War
And Cait is eating Vi 😂
eating tf out of that cupcake too 💀
Jinx, I've come to bargain
I love how the music in the background keeps repeating as well. And that the tear on her face looks like VI
Because music literally plays on her player.
It seems to funny to me that she doesn't even say anything the second time
She may be insane, but she's also a genius. I think she noticed something was off.
Beautiful scene. I dont know why, but its my favorite
One thing to notice is that Ekko not once but multiple time took burns from the bomb (As the machine doesn't affect him)
Because its the most character driven part of the show this season. Thats was the real power of arcane. Everything else was cool but started to go God Mode like late show Naruto.
God mode without character reason is boring.
Its pretty fucked up if you think about it

Omg... I just realized... Jinx called Ekko the boy savior. This is what Ekko really is here : he saved her. Many times.
Powder in the parralel world did not give up on ekko so he cannot give up on jinx either
Ekko realized he still wanted to give her another chance or rather help powder give herself another chance after seeing what she could have been if things didnt turned out so grim in their time line
Life is strange power. While he didnt catch a grenade, he did get caught in the blast radius 3 times
The scene shows why you only need is just a few seconds in every way
Just realized now that the song is playing faintly in the background this entire scene.
