@kitty5ever yeah you might be right, I also thought about it for a moment. But still, Jinx might be dead or alive in my opinion, it is hard to tell i think
For the past 10 years, I've been really curious what jinx would look like with her hair down, (besides the fanarts) now my curiosity is answered and she looks absolutely gorgeous 😢
She is stunning! I don't think she can ever not look good. Even at her worst, she's still breathtaking. Her, Cait, and Vi truly are the epitome of female hotness in this show.
0:37 the fact she said that line is the moment she had realized she cares deeply about Vi and does not want to bring her sister down with her (meaning she wants Vu to be happy and not to die like all the others who were close to jinx)
Yeah. Before she was like insanely jealous of Caitlyn for so much as talking to Vi, now she is telling Vi 'be happy with her, you can't be with me'. She loves Vi so much, but is so suicidal and broken by Isha's death, that she tells her sister to just let her die.
This has always been the story of Powder and Violet. "I thought... maybe you could love me like you used to. Even though I'm different." And here Jinx gets what she wanted. Vi does love her, even though she's broken. That hug, that desperate hug, is what Vi wanted to give Powder the day that Claggor and Mylo died. To be able to chase this little girl's monsters away. This is not Vi hugging Jinx. This is Vi hugging Powder.
Jinx knows that she changed but also knows that Vi changed. She hoped that Vi might love her like she used to but she realized that Vi wants Powder. Since Powder is gone she knows that Vi will never get what she want but in the same time she will never stop and never let her go. At the same time she still loves Vi so she decided to do the only thing she could do to make Vi happy - remove herself from her life. Without her Vi will stop trying to get Powder back and can finally start living her own happy life with Caitlyn.
This kind of makes me sad, because it made me feel like these two sisters in every univerese would never get a happy ending as long as they were together
Since Star Guardian and Odyssey Jinx are pretty much the happiest versions of her. Yeah, there's no mention of any siblings... unless they adapt that into a series and change it
People are confused about Vi dying in the other timeline. It doesn't mean they have to be apart to be happy, it was about topside seeing a tragedy they could not brush off. If by a miracle that Vi was just at death's door and later recovered, she would have been part of the Happy Timeline too, no problem. In the main timeline the enforcers saw thieves running away with dangerous tech. In the alternate timeline they saw a child crying over her sister's body. There was no manhunt, nothing pushed Vander into a corner. It probably also helped Silco see that he was failing his promise to their mother and put aside his anger for Vander (and they made up, you see no resentment between them)
Because Jinx has this sister issue. If Vi is not there it is peace because god forbid Vi is alive and get gf or a life out of her 🙂🙂all problems because she insists on coming with her and because Vi is dumb and still believes in her. Sometimes you need to set boundaries
@@user-sw6th8od5vsuch a dumb way to put it... would you abandon your sister ? It's not easy, we're humans, of course we won't leave our loved ones alone. Simple
@@Aashishkebab Notoriously, voice actors make very little money. About $900 for 8 hours of dialog Jennifer Hale, the voice of Shepard, revealed. And working the extensive hours hurts their throats due to the fact MORE has to be put into the voice than with physical acting. Which is also NOT covered under workplace insurance. Seriously, Jennifer Hale did a whole VA strike piece years back which show just how poorly VA's are treated VS physical acting.
@@Blackdragon99omfg that's for Mass Effect, not exactly an Arcane. VAs don't get paid super well but I'm sure Ella Purnell and Hailey Steinfeld got paid well.
@lil_tari cause she wanted to die, why would she change her mind and just leave her sister, making her think that she is dead? I think this ending fits her. She can finally rest in peace after everything she went through. It's bittersweet, just like we were promised
I've felt what she's feeling, acknowledging how fucked up she is and telling Vi to not worry about her because she's going to take care of herself. I know it, Jinxie, and my heart aches for you. You deserved so much better.
this season really needed a 4th act. to fit all of these story lines. the last 2 episode felt so rushed im not saying the ending was bad but the pacing was all over the place
Ngl the pacing was a head scratcher for me I'm like "this is moving too fast" and also "this is just right" not sure where I stand but it feels almost complete. Like ok what happens to Viktor and jayce why does Cait have her eye in the game Jinx is alive but how? Warwick is also alive. So many questions
Jinx was encouraging Vi to go on with her life and enjoy it with Caitlyn. Vi was not sure she and Caitlyn were going to survive the upcoming battle against Viktor and Ambessa. In light of this, Vi's actions in the cell after this scene make sense. She was actually following her sister's advice.
this REALLY helped me accept how this whole part of the episode played out. When I first watched it unfold, even as a Caitvi shipper, I was kind of shocked and disgusted. I saw it as "... after that whole conversation, you chose NOW to prioritize getting back together with your girlfriend? Instead of trying to find your sucidal sister??" But given how uncertain it was that *anyone* was making it out of the next so-many-hours alive, and the purpose behind what Jinx was just saying.... yeah. I get it.
@@pugisherpug4366 if it helps, we (in a calm, detached viewpoint) see it more clearly, but to them it's not so easy. They are all very hurt people right before the biggest confrontation of their life. They don't think about the details, the need relief *now*. They will absolutely look back at it later like "wtf was wrong with us!?" But in that moment it does make sense.
nah, that making zero sense if she actually love her sister. You can see Jinx is desperate and might kill herself soon. Instead of trying to save her, she choses sex. You can justify and defend this fanservice scene as you want, but it was disgusting
@@PaladineAvenger1fanservice?Lol its called love scene and development listen i know degenerate like you with lack of media literacy only see sex as fanservice but hey cool for you bro
How many times can Vi lose her?…. But the whole season has been getting at the fact that they weren’t meant to be together again but that she and Cait were meant for each other. As Viktor told Jayce back in episode 2, “our paths diverged long ago, it was affection that held us together”. To be whole, they have to be apart. Jinx knew that for her, but it took Ekko to tell her it was worth it for her to keep going.
Never have I wanted to hug her and tell her that’s not true more than that moment. I’ve been there, maybe not so dramatically but I have felt that way so much it hurts. When you just want to cut yourself out to stop hurting yourself and the people you care about. Moments like these that make my life feel seen… and it breaks my heart.
Don’t let others dominate you .if you know what I mean . Learn to have control on your brain on your emotions dont give this control to other people no matter how close they are But have a good heart , forgive them and always wish good for them .
Can we talk about how absurdly good Powder/Jinx’s voice actor is? The pain and despair and yet also loving sincerity throughout 0:47 to the end is just so perfect. The way her voice shakes and she sounds like she’s about to cry…this poor girl oh my god she deserves so much better
Poor Vi and Jinx.........Why can't they have just one good ending for once in their life, where they both live together in happily. 231 Likes?! Thank you!!!!
maybe they do. Jinx is alive, leaving it all behind somewhere and Vi has Caitlyn and they both can grief together. Also Cait had that little smirk when she noticed that Jinx might be alive.
Because they can't just live together like they used to. They are no longer the same sisters they were in season 1. They both changed too much to just go back.
@@vvgr409jinx and vi showed how much they cared for eachother…. also if they aren‘t the same anymore their will to be happy together has never gone. So i‘ll hope that in one spin off, we could see them happy together, or working together as sisters just like in the first 2 episodes
I think its because Jinx said to Vi herself that Powder is gone and Vi choose the "Jinx" seat in season 1 in front of Vi. Vi also saw Jinx freak out when Viktor called her "Powder". So being Jinx isnt necessarely a bad thing its not who she is now its just a name she goes by. At least thats how I think Vi see it.
"Her name is Jinx! She's lying. You'll be with her a day before she realizes you aren't that girl anymore and turns her back on you." Glad to say, Silco was wrong
The most beautiful thing about this scene is, I think, that since Vi knew what it was like to be locked in a cell, and especially in what Jinx's state was like, it was moving to see her run and hug her tightly. 🥺🥺🥺 my poor baby blue 😢😢💙
0:37 I think my favorite theme overall in Arcane is the family theme, and when Jinx said this line after everything that has happened so far (specially thinking back to season 1) it hit me hard
I think she deserves to ride off into the proverbial sunset in one of those airships she said she wanted to ride one day. Go off, do something else. There’s not much left in Piltover and Zaun but painful memories. And just being there would cause problems for Vi. The people at large aren’t just going to forgive and forget what she’s done, even if Vi and Ekko do. She wants them to get living without her holding them back, and move on herself. Find somewhere else to go, something else to do. Because… I think that’s the closest to fair they’re going to get.
"There's no good version of me." Ekko literally meets the best version of her in another reality. It's why he was the only one who could stop her from ending it all.
Jinx’s character arc really hit me bad after seeing this. I always blame myself for all the bad things happening to me. My best friend died two months ago from an OD followed by another friend a month later. All my friends dispersed after these incidents. No one called to check up on me or see if I’m alright. I now get high everyday by myself and keep thinking to myself when it’s my turn. I always wish I had a Vi in my life.
This may sound cheesy, but you can do what Jinx says to do in this scene, break the cycle. I never thought I’d be able to quit smoking. I loved the high. But some way I did. You can do the same. You don’t have to follow in their paths. You can live for THEM. But I also learned the choice has to be made by yourself, no matter what I say or what anyone else says. I hope you’re alright. The choice is YOURS.
@@randomyoutuber463thanks for the replies. I almost forgot I posted this because I was so upset and high. I’ll just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.
@@moonmoon2479 Okay, but it depends on the prospective. The Zaunites hate Enforcers because they have only experienced enforcers who view them as less than them, Zaun lived in famine whilst Piltover lived in wealth and abundance. Silco forcing forward their independence, with Jinx as a pawn; after Silco was gone Jinx legit just removed the grey from Zaun and was regarded as a hero.
@@SpyroTheGothstill no. Jinx is responsible for the deaths of Zaunites as well. She’s also helping Silco, who was hurting Zaun as much as Piltover. The writers have already said that Jinx never really cared about PvZ, and that’s already shown from this season. She didn’t want to be an idol or hero to Zaun, but only enjoys it because of the positive attention. Do you want me to go further than Arcane? Do you want to know about the chaos she causes past Piltover and Zaun? Because past this she’s even more of an unhinged psychopath.
@@moonmoon2479 Please do go into more detail. No disrespect, but almsot every Zaunite has Zaunite blood on their hands, Zaun is a place of famine and crime. There are so few people who could be regarded as legitimate hero's, Jinx is obliviously not one, she is an Anti-Hero by the second season. In the first she was doing more of what her father figure told her to and the behaviour he promoted; such as blowing stuff and people up, since he had her "Exploding his enemies" -Jinx Under Silco she did villaness and terrible things, after he was gone she only caused explosions that were in self defence [Except of course the council explosion; which was directed by Silco as he was getting her to create a weapon that could blow it up, which is why she made the rocket launcher in the first place] Sorry for the rant, Merry Christmas
That line where she says Vi deserve to be happy with Caitlyn hits so hard. She knows that Vi will never stop until she will get Powder back but Powder is gone. She also wanted to have Vi back but at the end of season one she realized that Vi also changed and they just can't go back to be little loving sisters like before because they both changed too much. Despite that they are still sisters so she still cares about her and knows the only way for Vi to let her go and have a live happy life with Caitlyn she needs to disappear from her life. And she decided to do just that and leave the cycle. What a nice character development.
I aint gonna lie, they kinda fumbled the bag on act 3 pacing all over the damm placed and definitely rushed as hell theirs definitely gonna be another season too cause of the ending which leaves another question on why would they even say this would be the final season then like wtf
I feel like her hair is sort of symbolism. When we see her as powder in the other dimension (and when she was younger) she has short hair, like she’s free. And when she’s Jinx, her hair is super long almost like she’s carrying a lot of baggage. Near the end, she cuts it off, perhaps showing her redemption and return to powder.
or her recognition that "Jinx" and "Powder" are part of the same picture again. Remember, she cut the hair right before she tried to blow herself up (FIVE TIMES, Go Ekko!). Her attitude in the battle, later, expression and postures? she's finally reintegrated-more than Jinx, more than the Powder anyone but maybe Ekko could have imagined.
Jinx looks a lot like rapunzel with her hair down. After reconnecting and bonding as sister last act, I expected Vi to call her Powder instead of Jinx, just once. I kinda bummed that she didn't. 😢
Jinx wants Vi to call her Jinx, Vi calling her powder would just piss her off, that was the whole point of season 1, she wants to be accepted for who she is now not who she was when she was a child
I think that's because VI kinda felt that her sister(powder) is gone since the end of season 1; she lost hope in her She think of her as jinx now Only jinx left We didnt even see vi calling her sister with the name powder in whole sez 2 She always called her Jinx She lost hope in getting back her sister
Just noticed this.. when jinx says "there is no good version of me" It kinda makes me think that she meant Jinx, not powder. Atleast i think the writers were intentional with that line.
All of Piltover was about to get absolutely destroyed by the Noxians and Viktor, surely y'all can understand that she couldn´t just leave Cait and everyone else to chase after Jinx again.
I think what the writers wanted to show was Vi could finally stop chasing after Jinx. There was a bit of a timeskip between Jinx leaving and Caitlyn finding Vi. During that time, Vi finally accepted she can’t get her sister back. As for the sex, there could be a combination of reasons. Vi could be using sex as a coping mechanism, since she knows she’s not going to get her sister back so she fully embraces Caitlyn. Because of the war happening, Vi doesn’t know if she’ll really end up happy with Cait, since either one of them could die, and she doesn’t want to put off their relationship any longer. Anyway just my opinion
@@Nickys_Corneralso the only person who didn't make her feel like she fucked everything up and trusted is like right there she also knows she can't stop jinx.
Leave it to schnee to give us an answer sooner or later. Remember, this is Arcane writers we're talking about. They are no run-in-the-mill average joes. I'm sure there is some meaning behind the sex scene, but I dont have the time to analyze everything right now.
@@jcwong4995 We saw Powder and Ekko in the other universe working together to create the anomaly thing but they didn’t even show Jinx and Ekko working together to build the balloon ship! Or even how they designed their outfits! Like wtf!
both sisters emo 🖤 parallels are shown in act 2-3 they’re both lost the lights alcoholism/suicidal tendencies and then returned back in the most devastating ending ever 💔 (but ik jinx is still alive her shimmer lights we’re seen)
The reason why Vi choosing herself doesnt hit as hard is because Jinx fucking tells her to do so. I dont know why the writers have made Vi into a puppet that cant make her own individual decisions about something. Im totally for Vi choosing Caitlyn and choosing happiness, but I cannot stress how necessary it was to buld a fucking ARC FOR HER! There is no CHARACTER ARC and its Killing meeeee!!!! Vi could have reached some enlightenment when she lost literally everything and went down to the pitfighter arena when all she was surrounded by was violence. She could have learnt about herself outside of battling prison and her feelings of guilt and shame thats been weighing her down. Her mental illness is so overlooked and just the simple fact Jinx thinks its OK to lock her up in a cage again SPEAKS ALL. The writers dropped the ball on Vi and I cant handle it because she is my favourite. Through alll the magic arcane shit they lost the grip on the humanity, the personal touch of the sisters and their feelings. Its devastating. It is why Season 1 was as good as it was, because the character studies and details were there. But Vi… her character arc could have been so interesting and compelling but they just DIDNT SHOW IT. And DISMISSED THINGS that could have clearly set her off. Like what about VANDER? Vander who was her father and had such a big impression on her as a kid. Just one scene between them trying to communicate wouldve been so great. But its all lost. So whilst I totally agree with Vi choosing herself because I know thats whats best for her, simple viewers can easily look at this and think she is a bad sister because its not plain in front of your face. I dont want to look for evidential scraps when it comes to such important decisions like this.
I actually argued the same thing. In my opinion, the only growth Vi had was accepting and loving Jinx as her sister, and that people can change. But there was no complete character ark for her growth with Jinx making her choice for herself, by eliminating herself from the equation. Jinx took away Vi's agency by making her choice. And then Jinx faking her death, was also forcing VI to move on, which again brings the conclusion that Vi didn't grow much at all. If anything Vi went from loosing her identify, to just going right back to where she was to begin with. The only way to make her a character ark complete is by giving her true agency, it would have been more interesting if she knew Jinx was still alive but choice to let Jinx go and find another life. That to me would show Vi has grown, also I think they missed the ball the VI and Jinx's sisterhood, even if it would still have a bittersweet ending, i think they could have done more with VI and JInx as sisters, but they just didn't have much time :(
Okay man if you are into having se*x in your su*icidal hyper truamatised little sister's prison cell where she malnourished and harmed herself while she left to commit su*ic*ide, we are just uneducated simple viewers to hate that, she sure is the a good older sister. And before you say noo she didn't know, it is physically impossible for her not to know that Jinx is su*icidal and she is going to harm herself, "You don't have to worry about me anymore" is the biggest su*icide line you can possibly say, not to mention Jinx's mental state, appearance, past and so on. But you are right overall that they dropped the ball on the sisterhood
@@Blaidd1298vi is also hypertraumatised, much worse than jinx, and the main reason behind of her trauma, besides piltover, is powder. She survived in stillwater, searched for her sister, to their doom she was gone already. She tried to fix it, jinx f.ed everything up again. She was angry at her, then forgave her, tried to save her but jinx left. At that point she couldn't know anymore yes, because jinx is a stray mine! Vi had noone left at that point, besides caitlyn but she was afraid of her reaction, because she chose jinx again. I have major problems with s scene being in a cell and vi's writing in second season (writer christopher tweeted they were interested in other characters, mind you) but haters use this just to bash on her, as always. No sympathy, no trying to understand, just belittling Vi's trauma. So yeah, op is right. I wouldn't say uneducated tho, you hate her and don't want to read between the lines like you do for other characters.
I hear you really... but in defense ig the writers just wanted to show vi had a great heart and her kindness came at a price. She can't pick both cait and powder. She had to pick one. Thus she made her choice to pick cait because jinx left her with pain and left her alone everytime she looked for her. Honestly some people don't understand humans
it's so sad they could never truly have a happy ending together, only apart which is why jinx at the end doesn't show back up despite surviving and instead flies away on a blimp
Didn't Caitlyn say she told all those guards to defend the Hexgate? Caitlyn IS LETTING Vi free Jinx. That's why Vi was so....GRATEFUL. And what Jinx said was pretty ambiguous tbh, and given her history of theatrics, I think I can understand why Vi misunderstood her intention. Like, what does she mean by breaking the cycle? Blowing up Ambessa's camp could potentially break the cycle (of war). I'm not sure how much Jinx knows at this point about the upcoming war, but just LEAVING Piltover could also break the cycle (of them sisters hating each other, while also cannot abandon each other).
Vi in season 1 Act 1: *Gets stabbed in the side* Vi in season two act 1: *gets jabbed in the side with the butt of a rifle* Vi in season 2 act 3: *gets punched in the side* Why is everyone going for VI’s ribs?
Ok so jinx basically told vi she was gonna kill herself and vi’s reaction to that was getting upset saying she thought jinx would be on there side(how tf with how jinx was talking did vi come to that conclusion)and then proceeds to bang cait………ok
Listen through this whole damn season Vi has just been running after Caits skirts it’s ridiculous. That scene in Jinx’s cell was for fans cause wtf! There’s a time and place and that wasn’t it
i haven't watched this show so you tell me but could it be that they were just trying to give people an emotional break? and maybe they just didn't execute it all that well or maybe they wanted the scene in the show but weren't able to put it anywhere else
All of Piltover was about to get absolutely destroyed by the Noxians and Viktor, surely y'all can understand that she couldn´t just leave Cait and everyone else to chase after Jinx again.
This just makes me desperately want a Shurima version where we see the fall of the Darkin. imagine going from godlike saviors to broken down demons hell bent on destruction. These writers would make it amazing
Rubbed me wrong that cait and vi fuck right after she just told her she’s gonna kill herself. She’s clearly in emotional despair after isha died… but fine Ekko was always more of a hero then Vi.
You guys are hopeless. First of all can you mind read? Vi didn't know she would do that and secondly, vi was stuck in the prison again and she's going through ptsd from her time back in prison. And thirdly the sex scene isn't symbolism to anything. It means vi is letting everything go. She's done with being the selfless sister... she lets go of everything and this was not fanservice
@okasart I didn't flip out... and I appologize if I seemed like that. I'm not a caitvi shipper either. I just look at things in a more human understanding, as an older sister.. for vi... after analysing the show a little
All of the people assuming that Vi has the same omnicient perspective the audience does and understands the existential nuance of what Jinx is saying are extremely frustrating. Breaking the cycle could mean making a huge weapon and destroying both cities. It could mean skipping town forever. It could mean any number of things. Of course WE know what she might have meant because of the Silco sequence right before (and the top of ep9) but Vi, critically, does not see into her mind or know the future like we, the audience, do. Just...god. Have some charitability for the writing people. Edit: Plus, by the end of the series Jinx acts on the more positive interpretation of the Silco vision, e.g. leaving town, "walking away." *Flying* away, rather. Brilliant.
You put my thoughts into words exactly. Hell, even with the context of the prior scene with Silco, I still thought Jinx was only talking about running away when she mentioned “breaking the cycle” here. I see no in universe reason Vi should have immediately known Jinx intended on killing herself.
Right. Vi had no way to know what she was suggesting here. And she's been trying so goddamn hard for so long to reach Jinx... people are being way too hard on her.
It was confirmed in Afterglow that she did sacrifice herself. Ella asked "Why they write that in there". I do believe Jinx survived and they'll talk about it in the new series. We may follow Jinx perspective some until they can introduce another linkable character to take over the reigns.
People in the comments really are showing they aren't the brightest. Vi didn't know Jinx was suicidal, you as the audience do because you literally saw/heard her thoughts with Silco. Vi thinks Jinx tricked her to escape and right after says to Cait she always trusts Jinx and is always proven wrong so she feels stupid and betrayed by Jinx. Feels like many of you also didn't listen to the scene after Jinx left because it's pretty obvious Vi didn't know Jinx was suicidal if you did.
My only gripe with this episode is Vi does not immediately try to go after her sister who tells her shes going to end her own life after her cell is unlocked.
1. She didn't Say She wanted to go suicide, she said She wanted to break the cycle, which Is a reference to her dialogue with dead silco but Vi couldn't know the meaning of It. 2. She specifically told Vi to "not feel guilty for being Happy" and "to stay with her GF" before going away. If Vi doesn't feel guilt After that are you gonna shove It down on her anyway?
Cause Vi only cared about Cait's coochie. Why else do you think she willingly ignored Powder? That's how lesbian characters are always written. Throwing aside family for a stranger.
@@mirai1-p8gbro that literally just means im going to end it you deserve to be happy. she swiped keys off the guards only to get jinx out of there and tried to convince her (jinx) to come with her (vi), if about a few hours later that changes then its judt stupid. vi clearly wanted to save her still, the sex scene cannot be explained, it was just fan service
Vi just casually having sex after this while jinx is over here literally killing herself is CRAZY and so fuckin sad!! I am so confused and upset at why she find that more important than saving Jinx? If not for my boy Ekko, jinx would have died!💀 My girl Jinx deserved SO much better which is why I am so glad Act 3 ep7 exists!! At least she can be happy with ekko and everyone❤😭
Plus they did that in the same cell where she harmed and malnourished herself because of suicidal depression, it's kinda fucked up. They need to have some respect for her.
@@LongNguyen-xt1hx I don't know if more poeple are aware how disturbing it actually is, what frustrates me more Jinx is gaslit into thinking Vi is the better sister and she is the one in the wrong
Did anyone else find it weird after she ran away and Caitlin opened the door to the cell that vi decided despite being worried for her sister that sleeping with Caitlin was more important? It felt forced or hurried.
@rift_right3259 so because Caitlin did that, the fact that jinx seemed suicidal or not in the right mind set should be put on the back burner? I'm sorry but if my significant other did that for me, while I'm grateful towards them, my sibling i literally busted out of jail that I'm worried about would take top priority not hanky panky with my significant other.
I don’t understand why the authors had vi go down on some carpet without a care in the world while her sister was mentally unstable and about to commit suicide. Both scenes taint one another when paired together and leaves the viewer extremely confused and awkward.
She sure did give up on her. The moment she got freed, instead of trying to find Jinx, she clearly had other priorities. What was the point of her story again?

For the past 10 years, I've been really curious what jinx would look like with her hair down, (besides the fanarts) now my curiosity is answered and she looks absolutely gorgeous 😢
I was thinking the same thing
She really is.
if only it was under better circumstances😭this was so depressing
She is stunning! I don't think she can ever not look good. Even at her worst, she's still breathtaking. Her, Cait, and Vi truly are the epitome of female hotness in this show.
Ayanami 2nd reference in the new Evangelion series.
0:37 the fact she said that line is the moment she had realized she cares deeply about Vi and does not want to bring her sister down with her (meaning she wants Vu to be happy and not to die like all the others who were close to jinx)
Yeah. Before she was like insanely jealous of Caitlyn for so much as talking to Vi, now she is telling Vi 'be happy with her, you can't be with me'. She loves Vi so much, but is so suicidal and broken by Isha's death, that she tells her sister to just let her die.
@@Casper8855 Need some Wincest than normal Sexbian Lex.
The scene is sad however I'm really glad Jinx is wishing her sister happiness
‘….there’s no good version of me’
YES THERE IS!!!!!
Ekko just showed us 😔😔😔
I literally screamed this at the screen as soon as she said that line! 😭
And Isha as well
Who needs good, when we've got perfect? (Silco's words, and I concur)
Ekko most likely brought it up to her behind the scenes
There isn't. In episode 7 it wasn't Jinx, it was Powder. In current reality Powder is gone, only Jinx is left.
This has always been the story of Powder and Violet.
"I thought... maybe you could love me like you used to. Even though I'm different."
And here Jinx gets what she wanted. Vi does love her, even though she's broken. That hug, that desperate hug, is what Vi wanted to give Powder the day that Claggor and Mylo died. To be able to chase this little girl's monsters away. This is not Vi hugging Jinx. This is Vi hugging Powder.
Если бы не тот миротворец Ви обняла бы Паундер
I mean, it’s the story of Jayce and Viktor as well.
Jinx knows that she changed but also knows that Vi changed. She hoped that Vi might love her like she used to but she realized that Vi wants Powder. Since Powder is gone she knows that Vi will never get what she want but in the same time she will never stop and never let her go. At the same time she still loves Vi so she decided to do the only thing she could do to make Vi happy - remove herself from her life. Without her Vi will stop trying to get Powder back and can finally start living her own happy life with Caitlyn.
Omg I can't DO THIS U MAKING IT WORSE- TwT
No. This is Vi hugging both.
This kind of makes me sad, because it made me feel like these two sisters in every univerese would never get a happy ending as long as they were together
Since Star Guardian and Odyssey Jinx are pretty much the happiest versions of her. Yeah, there's no mention of any siblings... unless they adapt that into a series and change it
People are confused about Vi dying in the other timeline. It doesn't mean they have to be apart to be happy, it was about topside seeing a tragedy they could not brush off.
If by a miracle that Vi was just at death's door and later recovered, she would have been part of the Happy Timeline too, no problem.
In the main timeline the enforcers saw thieves running away with dangerous tech. In the alternate timeline they saw a child crying over her sister's body. There was no manhunt, nothing pushed Vander into a corner. It probably also helped Silco see that he was failing his promise to their mother and put aside his anger for Vander (and they made up, you see no resentment between them)
Because Jinx has this sister issue. If Vi is not there it is peace because god forbid Vi is alive and get gf or a life out of her 🙂🙂all problems because she insists on coming with her and because Vi is dumb and still believes in her. Sometimes you need to set boundaries
@@user-sw6th8od5vsuch a dumb way to put it... would you abandon your sister ? It's not easy, we're humans, of course we won't leave our loved ones alone. Simple
Man,these actors deserve a standing ovation and way more than that. You could just hear the desperation in VI's voice, the despair in Jinx's voice.
I mean they got paid a lot of money if that helps.
@@Aashishkebabprobably not that much, VAs don't get payed a lot and thats a known fact
Vi's VA does Dickenson. Jinx's VA does Fallout. You can get so many of haley and elle's performances that are just BADASS.
@@Aashishkebab Notoriously, voice actors make very little money. About $900 for 8 hours of dialog Jennifer Hale, the voice of Shepard, revealed. And working the extensive hours hurts their throats due to the fact MORE has to be put into the voice than with physical acting. Which is also NOT covered under workplace insurance.
Seriously, Jennifer Hale did a whole VA strike piece years back which show just how poorly VA's are treated VS physical acting.
@@Blackdragon99omfg that's for Mass Effect, not exactly an Arcane.
VAs don't get paid super well but I'm sure Ella Purnell and Hailey Steinfeld got paid well.
You can see her escaping with shimmer in one of the explosion frames
OHHHHH THAT WAS HER? bro i thought that was just an explosion effect. W jinx
Why would she want to escape? She already tried to kill herself, so why now escape for nothing?
IT WASN'T HER
I@@ΘΘΝΘ-β5ξ it was her. Argue why it can't be her
@lil_tari cause she wanted to die, why would she change her mind and just leave her sister, making her think that she is dead? I think this ending fits her. She can finally rest in peace after everything she went through. It's bittersweet, just like we were promised
I've felt what she's feeling, acknowledging how fucked up she is and telling Vi to not worry about her because she's going to take care of herself. I know it, Jinxie, and my heart aches for you. You deserved so much better.
not take care of herself, take herself out.
“There’s no good version of me.”
I shouted at my TV “NO!” after what we saw😭
Jinx: theres no good version of me
Me: (sneezing) oh sorry I'm allergic to bullshit there is jinx there is so letbher out to say hi
this season really needed a 4th act. to fit all of these story lines. the last 2 episode felt so rushed im not saying the ending was bad but the pacing was all over the place
Sadly true.
Still a 9/10 at least
Honestly I don’t see it, speaking personally the pacing felt fine too me.
@@flame_zzl9/10 is pretty accurate
Ngl the pacing was a head scratcher for me I'm like "this is moving too fast" and also "this is just right" not sure where I stand but it feels almost complete.
Like ok what happens to Viktor and jayce why does Cait have her eye in the game
Jinx is alive but how?
Warwick is also alive.
So many questions
vi's reaction to an ominously suicidal interaction with her sister: sex
why not
HAHAHAHAH
Garbage writing fr
there's always time
To be fair, if not now, then when? Shits been fucked, is fucked... we could die like today, soooo... prison sex?
I've never wanted to hug a non-existent, animated character so much.
Правда
*Jinx walks into darkness*
Jinx; Can you still see me?
Vi: No but I can hear you.
Jinx: Good good… okay bye..
Family Guy
Oh my GOD!!!😂😂😂
LMAO
truly an american classic
Jinx was encouraging Vi to go on with her life and enjoy it with Caitlyn. Vi was not sure she and Caitlyn were going to survive the upcoming battle against Viktor and Ambessa. In light of this, Vi's actions in the cell after this scene make sense. She was actually following her sister's advice.
this REALLY helped me accept how this whole part of the episode played out. When I first watched it unfold, even as a Caitvi shipper, I was kind of shocked and disgusted. I saw it as "... after that whole conversation, you chose NOW to prioritize getting back together with your girlfriend? Instead of trying to find your sucidal sister??" But given how uncertain it was that *anyone* was making it out of the next so-many-hours alive, and the purpose behind what Jinx was just saying.... yeah. I get it.
I would have preferred if it wasn’t in her sister’s cell that she was hurting herself in and such.
@@pugisherpug4366 if it helps, we (in a calm, detached viewpoint) see it more clearly, but to them it's not so easy. They are all very hurt people right before the biggest confrontation of their life.
They don't think about the details, the need relief *now*.
They will absolutely look back at it later like "wtf was wrong with us!?" But in that moment it does make sense.
nah, that making zero sense if she actually love her sister. You can see Jinx is desperate and might kill herself soon. Instead of trying to save her, she choses sex. You can justify and defend this fanservice scene as you want, but it was disgusting
@@PaladineAvenger1fanservice?Lol its called love scene and development listen i know degenerate like you with lack of media literacy only see sex as fanservice but hey cool for you bro
1:13 vi definitely got prison flashbacks
When I saw this I started crying, “Shes back in a cage!” 😢
This is literally what I said when this happened
Not really considering what comes after this
Do you guys know what epsiode this is from season 2? 😭
@@jc37262 episode 8
How many times can Vi lose her?…. But the whole season has been getting at the fact that they weren’t meant to be together again but that she and Cait were meant for each other.
As Viktor told Jayce back in episode 2, “our paths diverged long ago, it was affection that held us together”.
To be whole, they have to be apart. Jinx knew that for her, but it took Ekko to tell her it was worth it for her to keep going.
All that Jinx wants was for Vi to be happy
Never have I wanted to hug her and tell her that’s not true more than that moment.
I’ve been there, maybe not so dramatically but I have felt that way so much it hurts. When you just want to cut yourself out to stop hurting yourself and the people you care about.
Moments like these that make my life feel seen… and it breaks my heart.
Don’t let others dominate you .if you know what I mean . Learn to have control on your brain on your emotions dont give this control to other people no matter how close they are But have a good heart , forgive them and always wish good for them .
Can we talk about how absurdly good Powder/Jinx’s voice actor is? The pain and despair and yet also loving sincerity throughout 0:47 to the end is just so perfect. The way her voice shakes and she sounds like she’s about to cry…this poor girl oh my god she deserves so much better
Poor Vi and Jinx.........Why can't they have just one good ending for once in their life, where they both live together in happily.
231 Likes?! Thank you!!!!
maybe they do. Jinx is alive, leaving it all behind somewhere and Vi has Caitlyn and they both can grief together. Also Cait had that little smirk when she noticed that Jinx might be alive.
Because Netflix, or this generation hates happiness and wants mankind to die. Because we condone sadism and self-destruction for the fxck of it.
Because they can't just live together like they used to. They are no longer the same sisters they were in season 1. They both changed too much to just go back.
Porque así es la vida uno no puede tener todo lo que quiere
@@vvgr409jinx and vi showed how much they cared for eachother…. also if they aren‘t the same anymore their will to be happy together has never gone. So i‘ll hope that in one spin off, we could see them happy together, or working together as sisters just like in the first 2 episodes
Jinx with free hair😍.
I didn't know that I need to see this until I saw it
Like a Blue Gothic Rapunzel
I swear I’ve never wanted to just hug someone and never let them go more than jinx in this scene.
One of the most heart-breaking moments in the series, I know exactly how she felt. God bless you Jinx!
I'm kinda surprised she did not call her powder here
I think its because Jinx said to Vi herself that Powder is gone and Vi choose the "Jinx" seat in season 1 in front of Vi. Vi also saw Jinx freak out when Viktor called her "Powder". So being Jinx isnt necessarely a bad thing its not who she is now its just a name she goes by. At least thats how I think Vi see it.
@@K_Petarlolol lotta words for “you’d be deadnaming her” /lhj
Or after the explosion of isha's sacrifice she literally called Cait's name first and then jinx ! She didn't even say Powder , EVEN EKKO SAID POW
"Her name is Jinx! She's lying. You'll be with her a day before she realizes you aren't that girl anymore and turns her back on you."
Glad to say, Silco was wrong
Bruh sisco was right. Her sister litrtally Told her that shes gonna kill herself and vi just decided to sleep with caitlyn lol
Jinx with Vi's haircut in ep9 mixed with blue and violet. She was Isha's Powder. The hero of Zaun
The most beautiful thing about this scene is, I think, that since Vi knew what it was like to be locked in a cell, and especially in what Jinx's state was like, it was moving to see her run and hug her tightly. 🥺🥺🥺 my poor baby blue 😢😢💙
0:37 I think my favorite theme overall in Arcane is the family theme, and when Jinx said this line after everything that has happened so far (specially thinking back to season 1) it hit me hard
I see it as an absolute necessity to make Jinx the cutest, most precious, and the most "must be protected at all cost" character in the show.
She killed a lot of people you know?
@@KamilSzczesny-yj8qi😂 let us protect jinx man come on.... but I wanna protect vi
1:06
I'm surprised as Jinx slowly backed into the shadows, I was hoping for her to saying "I love you, Violet...", adding more to her pain...
It’s the fact vi learned to love her as jinx
I'm glad they gave her the ending the gave her. Not perfect, but at least saved the day and the whole world.
Yeah. At least she used her explosive skills for the greater good and this time it didn’t backfire
@veronicapiccinini7956 i see people talking about Jinx faking her death. Hopefully she lives a new life far from everything.
I think she deserves to ride off into the proverbial sunset in one of those airships she said she wanted to ride one day.
Go off, do something else.
There’s not much left in Piltover and Zaun but painful memories.
And just being there would cause problems for Vi. The people at large aren’t just going to forgive and forget what she’s done, even if Vi and Ekko do.
She wants them to get living without her holding them back, and move on herself. Find somewhere else to go, something else to do.
Because… I think that’s the closest to fair they’re going to get.
Well, what would've been perfect?
yeah, it was a nice ending for her.
"There's no good version of me."
Ekko literally meets the best version of her in another reality. It's why he was the only one who could stop her from ending it all.
Jinx’s character arc really hit me bad after seeing this. I always blame myself for all the bad things happening to me. My best friend died two months ago from an OD followed by another friend a month later. All my friends dispersed after these incidents. No one called to check up on me or see if I’m alright. I now get high everyday by myself and keep thinking to myself when it’s my turn. I always wish I had a Vi in my life.
Bless you. I can only wish you the best in life and have the strength to heal. I may be a stranger, but you have my support👍. Don't give up
Damn that sucks , I know I am stranger but I hope you doing okay if you ever need someone to talk to I'm always available
This may sound cheesy, but you can do what Jinx says to do in this scene, break the cycle.
I never thought I’d be able to quit smoking. I loved the high. But some way I did. You can do the same. You don’t have to follow in their paths. You can live for THEM.
But I also learned the choice has to be made by yourself, no matter what I say or what anyone else says. I hope you’re alright. The choice is YOURS.
@@randomyoutuber463thanks for the replies. I almost forgot I posted this because I was so upset and high. I’ll just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.
@@ewjiml I wish you well
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". In Jinx's case it's the other way around.
"Big fat hero"
She isn’t a hero, and never will be. Too much blood on her hands.
@@moonmoon2479 Okay, but it depends on the prospective. The Zaunites hate Enforcers because they have only experienced enforcers who view them as less than them, Zaun lived in famine whilst Piltover lived in wealth and abundance. Silco forcing forward their independence, with Jinx as a pawn; after Silco was gone Jinx legit just removed the grey from Zaun and was regarded as a hero.
@@SpyroTheGothstill no. Jinx is responsible for the deaths of Zaunites as well. She’s also helping Silco, who was hurting Zaun as much as Piltover.
The writers have already said that Jinx never really cared about PvZ, and that’s already shown from this season. She didn’t want to be an idol or hero to Zaun, but only enjoys it because of the positive attention.
Do you want me to go further than Arcane? Do you want to know about the chaos she causes past Piltover and Zaun? Because past this she’s even more of an unhinged psychopath.
@@moonmoon2479 Please do go into more detail. No disrespect, but almsot every Zaunite has Zaunite blood on their hands, Zaun is a place of famine and crime. There are so few people who could be regarded as legitimate hero's, Jinx is obliviously not one, she is an Anti-Hero by the second season. In the first she was doing more of what her father figure told her to and the behaviour he promoted; such as blowing stuff and people up, since he had her "Exploding his enemies" -Jinx
Under Silco she did villaness and terrible things, after he was gone she only caused explosions that were in self defence [Except of course the council explosion; which was directed by Silco as he was getting her to create a weapon that could blow it up, which is why she made the rocket launcher in the first place]
Sorry for the rant, Merry Christmas
Seriously, unbraided hair Jinx is the best thing in the series. Look how gorgeous she is! Also, you got the perfect thumbnail.
Vi trusting Jinx time and time again despite Jinx continuing to betray her shows how much Vi loves her sister despite everything T.T
my poor girls...
the way vi as soon as she opened the door she hugged her tight😢😢
Okay but there's no way Jinx ran at Mach 5 without tripping on her 3 meter long hair.
I want to hug them both so much.
Giving Blessing to Vi , did isha bring powder back
Long hair Jinx is more precious than my first edition Obelisk the Tormentorrrrrr
The autographed one or the one from the movie
That line where she says Vi deserve to be happy with Caitlyn hits so hard. She knows that Vi will never stop until she will get Powder back but Powder is gone. She also wanted to have Vi back but at the end of season one she realized that Vi also changed and they just can't go back to be little loving sisters like before because they both changed too much. Despite that they are still sisters so she still cares about her and knows the only way for Vi to let her go and have a live happy life with Caitlyn she needs to disappear from her life. And she decided to do just that and leave the cycle. What a nice character development.
Honestly yh jinx has changed and she realised vi loves her too much to let her go. She learned from vi to let your loved ones go 😢❤
Other than how emotional this scene was, I didn’t know Jinx with untied hair is Blue haired Rapunzel.
I aint gonna lie, they kinda fumbled the bag on act 3 pacing all over the damm placed and definitely rushed as hell theirs definitely gonna be another season too cause of the ending which leaves another question on why would they even say this would be the final season then like wtf
But this _is_ the final season - of Arcane, anyway. Whatever comes after this will take place somewhere else, with new characters.
It's so sad that we are not getting a third season. I would love to what Jinx would do after escaping death in the final episode.
I feel like her hair is sort of symbolism.
When we see her as powder in the other dimension (and when she was younger) she has short hair, like she’s free. And when she’s Jinx, her hair is super long almost like she’s carrying a lot of baggage. Near the end, she cuts it off, perhaps showing her redemption and return to powder.
or her recognition that "Jinx" and "Powder" are part of the same picture again. Remember, she cut the hair right before she tried to blow herself up (FIVE TIMES, Go Ekko!). Her attitude in the battle, later, expression and postures? she's finally reintegrated-more than Jinx, more than the Powder anyone but maybe Ekko could have imagined.
Jinx looks a lot like rapunzel with her hair down.
After reconnecting and bonding as sister last act, I expected Vi to call her Powder instead of Jinx, just once. I kinda bummed that she didn't. 😢
Jinx wants Vi to call her Jinx, Vi calling her powder would just piss her off, that was the whole point of season 1, she wants to be accepted for who she is now not who she was when she was a child
Hey, she changed her name so we should respect her choice even if we don’t agree
Jinx just isn’t Powder anymore.
Fundamentally in her self-perception she just isn’t that person anymore.
Ayyy not cool to deadname. Glad vi accepted that
I think that's because VI kinda felt that her sister(powder) is gone since the end of season 1; she lost hope in her
She think of her as jinx now
Only jinx left
We didnt even see vi calling her sister with the name powder in whole sez 2
She always called her
Jinx
She lost hope in getting back her sister
When Vi calls her sister “Jinx”, its Vi finally accepting her sister for who she is
Just noticed this.. when jinx says "there is no good version of me"
It kinda makes me think that she meant Jinx, not powder. Atleast i think the writers were intentional with that line.
...And then Vi had sex with Cait while her sister is very clearly going to kill herself. Way to go, writers
I didn't understand either, it made it seem like Vi really didn't care
All of Piltover was about to get absolutely destroyed by the Noxians and Viktor, surely y'all can understand that she couldn´t just leave Cait and everyone else to chase after Jinx again.
I think what the writers wanted to show was Vi could finally stop chasing after Jinx. There was a bit of a timeskip between Jinx leaving and Caitlyn finding Vi. During that time, Vi finally accepted she can’t get her sister back. As for the sex, there could be a combination of reasons. Vi could be using sex as a coping mechanism, since she knows she’s not going to get her sister back so she fully embraces Caitlyn. Because of the war happening, Vi doesn’t know if she’ll really end up happy with Cait, since either one of them could die, and she doesn’t want to put off their relationship any longer. Anyway just my opinion
@@Nickys_Corneralso the only person who didn't make her feel like she fucked everything up and trusted is like right there she also knows she can't stop jinx.
Leave it to schnee to give us an answer sooner or later.
Remember, this is Arcane writers we're talking about. They are no run-in-the-mill average joes. I'm sure there is some meaning behind the sex scene, but I dont have the time to analyze everything right now.
I will never recover from this scene
Jinx tired 😭, losing Isha was the last straw
So after the explosion, Jinx runs to Demacia and live with Lux happily after, I mean after they beat Sylas together.
And I hope ekko goes there to find her 😢
@@jcwong4995Jinx will return to Ekko idc idc they are soulmates! Meant to be together!

both sisters emo 🖤 parallels are shown in act 2-3 they’re both lost the lights alcoholism/suicidal tendencies and then returned back in the most devastating ending ever 💔 (but ik jinx is still alive her shimmer lights we’re seen)
"EXPLOSIVE potential"
Oohhh...
Poor choice of words vi
Hair down Jinx is almostmythical she looks like some fey being.
Jinx wrapped all her pain in her braids. She let it loose. And eventually she let it go
I swear jinx can't catch a break! I want to be there for her
jinx is the number 1 enemy of happiness
They both deserved better ☹️
The reason why Vi choosing herself doesnt hit as hard is because Jinx fucking tells her to do so. I dont know why the writers have made Vi into a puppet that cant make her own individual decisions about something. Im totally for Vi choosing Caitlyn and choosing happiness, but I cannot stress how necessary it was to buld a fucking ARC FOR HER! There is no CHARACTER ARC and its Killing meeeee!!!! Vi could have reached some enlightenment when she lost literally everything and went down to the pitfighter arena when all she was surrounded by was violence. She could have learnt about herself outside of battling prison and her feelings of guilt and shame thats been weighing her down. Her mental illness is so overlooked and just the simple fact Jinx thinks its OK to lock her up in a cage again SPEAKS ALL. The writers dropped the ball on Vi and I cant handle it because she is my favourite. Through alll the magic arcane shit they lost the grip on the humanity, the personal touch of the sisters and their feelings. Its devastating. It is why Season 1 was as good as it was, because the character studies and details were there. But Vi… her character arc could have been so interesting and compelling but they just DIDNT SHOW IT. And DISMISSED THINGS that could have clearly set her off. Like what about VANDER? Vander who was her father and had such a big impression on her as a kid. Just one scene between them trying to communicate wouldve been so great. But its all lost. So whilst I totally agree with Vi choosing herself because I know thats whats best for her, simple viewers can easily look at this and think she is a bad sister because its not plain in front of your face. I dont want to look for evidential scraps when it comes to such important decisions like this.
I actually argued the same thing. In my opinion, the only growth Vi had was accepting and loving Jinx as her sister, and that people can change. But there was no complete character ark for her growth with Jinx making her choice for herself, by eliminating herself from the equation. Jinx took away Vi's agency by making her choice. And then Jinx faking her death, was also forcing VI to move on, which again brings the conclusion that Vi didn't grow much at all. If anything Vi went from loosing her identify, to just going right back to where she was to begin with. The only way to make her a character ark complete is by giving her true agency, it would have been more interesting if she knew Jinx was still alive but choice to let Jinx go and find another life. That to me would show Vi has grown, also I think they missed the ball the VI and Jinx's sisterhood, even if it would still have a bittersweet ending, i think they could have done more with VI and JInx as sisters, but they just didn't have much time :(
Okay man if you are into having se*x in your su*icidal hyper truamatised little sister's prison cell where she malnourished and harmed herself while she left to commit su*ic*ide, we are just uneducated simple viewers to hate that, she sure is the a good older sister.
And before you say noo she didn't know, it is physically impossible for her not to know that Jinx is su*icidal and she is going to harm herself, "You don't have to worry about me anymore" is the biggest su*icide line you can possibly say, not to mention Jinx's mental state, appearance, past and so on.
But you are right overall that they dropped the ball on the sisterhood
@@Blaidd1298vi is also hypertraumatised, much worse than jinx, and the main reason behind of her trauma, besides piltover, is powder. She survived in stillwater, searched for her sister, to their doom she was gone already. She tried to fix it, jinx f.ed everything up again. She was angry at her, then forgave her, tried to save her but jinx left. At that point she couldn't know anymore yes, because jinx is a stray mine! Vi had noone left at that point, besides caitlyn but she was afraid of her reaction, because she chose jinx again. I have major problems with s scene being in a cell and vi's writing in second season (writer christopher tweeted they were interested in other characters, mind you) but haters use this just to bash on her, as always. No sympathy, no trying to understand, just belittling Vi's trauma. So yeah, op is right. I wouldn't say uneducated tho, you hate her and don't want to read between the lines like you do for other characters.
I hear you really... but in defense ig the writers just wanted to show vi had a great heart and her kindness came at a price. She can't pick both cait and powder. She had to pick one. Thus she made her choice to pick cait because jinx left her with pain and left her alone everytime she looked for her. Honestly some people don't understand humans
I don't want to fix her she is perfect
She is miserable and about to end herself.
She literally wants to kill herself. I think she needs a little bit of fixing.
it's so sad they could never truly have a happy ending together, only apart which is why jinx at the end doesn't show back up despite surviving and instead flies away on a blimp
Didn't Caitlyn say she told all those guards to defend the Hexgate? Caitlyn IS LETTING Vi free Jinx. That's why Vi was so....GRATEFUL. And what Jinx said was pretty ambiguous tbh, and given her history of theatrics, I think I can understand why Vi misunderstood her intention. Like, what does she mean by breaking the cycle? Blowing up Ambessa's camp could potentially break the cycle (of war). I'm not sure how much Jinx knows at this point about the upcoming war, but just LEAVING Piltover could also break the cycle (of them sisters hating each other, while also cannot abandon each other).
Vi in season 1 Act 1: *Gets stabbed in the side*
Vi in season two act 1: *gets jabbed in the side with the butt of a rifle*
Vi in season 2 act 3: *gets punched in the side*
Why is everyone going for VI’s ribs?
😢 she won't have any bones left there sir
Ok so jinx basically told vi she was gonna kill herself and vi’s reaction to that was getting upset saying she thought jinx would be on there side(how tf with how jinx was talking did vi come to that conclusion)and then proceeds to bang cait………ok
Jinx said be happy, so just following instructions.....
Listen through this whole damn season Vi has just been running after Caits skirts it’s ridiculous. That scene in Jinx’s cell was for fans cause wtf! There’s a time and place and that wasn’t it
I think because they are on deadline? I think the final act is kinda rush no? @@empressx834
i haven't watched this show so you tell me but could it be that they were just trying to give people an emotional break? and maybe they just didn't execute it all that well or maybe they wanted the scene in the show but weren't able to put it anywhere else
All of Piltover was about to get absolutely destroyed by the Noxians and Viktor, surely y'all can understand that she couldn´t just leave Cait and everyone else to chase after Jinx again.
The animation performance is so good, props to the animator❤❤❤
It's heartbreaking 💔
This just makes me desperately want a Shurima version where we see the fall of the Darkin. imagine going from godlike saviors to broken down demons hell bent on destruction. These writers would make it amazing
Rubbed me wrong that cait and vi fuck right after she just told her she’s gonna kill herself. She’s clearly in emotional despair after isha died… but fine Ekko was always more of a hero then Vi.
yeah everyone wanted a sex scene but that was like the last place they shouldve put it lmfao
You guys are hopeless. First of all can you mind read? Vi didn't know she would do that and secondly, vi was stuck in the prison again and she's going through ptsd from her time back in prison. And thirdly the sex scene isn't symbolism to anything. It means vi is letting everything go. She's done with being the selfless sister... she lets go of everything and this was not fanservice
@@angel-san5161 Just cause someone interpreted the show differently then you doesn’t mean you have to flip out. Jeez Vi Caitlyn shippers are hopeless
@@angel-san5161Lol, lmao.even
@okasart I didn't flip out... and I appologize if I seemed like that. I'm not a caitvi shipper either. I just look at things in a more human understanding, as an older sister.. for vi... after analysing the show a little
0:37 🥺🥺🥺 never in the life ... she is your sister ♥️♥️
It always Jinx that make me cry on Every Episode.
I know this is an extremely emotional scene but man... Stillwater has a big safety issue :'D
All of the people assuming that Vi has the same omnicient perspective the audience does and understands the existential nuance of what Jinx is saying are extremely frustrating. Breaking the cycle could mean making a huge weapon and destroying both cities. It could mean skipping town forever. It could mean any number of things. Of course WE know what she might have meant because of the Silco sequence right before (and the top of ep9) but Vi, critically, does not see into her mind or know the future like we, the audience, do. Just...god. Have some charitability for the writing people.
Edit: Plus, by the end of the series Jinx acts on the more positive interpretation of the Silco vision, e.g. leaving town, "walking away." *Flying* away, rather. Brilliant.
You put my thoughts into words exactly. Hell, even with the context of the prior scene with Silco, I still thought Jinx was only talking about running away when she mentioned “breaking the cycle” here. I see no in universe reason Vi should have immediately known Jinx intended on killing herself.
Exactly. People assume Vi knew Jinx was going to kill herself, except... there's no way to know that's what she meant... at all.
Right. Vi had no way to know what she was suggesting here. And she's been trying so goddamn hard for so long to reach Jinx... people are being way too hard on her.
Finally a comment that made sense. Let's also remember that vi is also traumatised
Vi just wanted her sister back, she didn’t care anymore about anything else, she just wanted to do anything to bring her back.
Fact that 3rd act of Arcane doesn't meantion the death of Isha and Jinx mourning because of her is disappointning
It was confirmed in Afterglow that she did sacrifice herself. Ella asked "Why they write that in there". I do believe Jinx survived and they'll talk about it in the new series. We may follow Jinx perspective some until they can introduce another linkable character to take over the reigns.
bruh was it not clear enough with jinx trying to k herself?
@@ΚρανίΩ Watch Afterglow, they confirmed Jinx is neither alive nor dead, but certainly not dead.
The way vi opened the cell so quickly
Oh Vi. That's her baby 🥺
People in the comments really are showing they aren't the brightest. Vi didn't know Jinx was suicidal, you as the audience do because you literally saw/heard her thoughts with Silco. Vi thinks Jinx tricked her to escape and right after says to Cait she always trusts Jinx and is always proven wrong so she feels stupid and betrayed by Jinx. Feels like many of you also didn't listen to the scene after Jinx left because it's pretty obvious Vi didn't know Jinx was suicidal if you did.
Why did Vi react the way she did when Jinx said "break the cycle" then?...
I’ve never wanted to hug a fictional character more in my life
My only gripe with this episode is Vi does not immediately try to go after her sister who tells her shes going to end her own life after her cell is unlocked.
That part was a 1/10 overall, the rest is awesome
1. She didn't Say She wanted to go suicide, she said She wanted to break the cycle, which Is a reference to her dialogue with dead silco but Vi couldn't know the meaning of It.
2. She specifically told Vi to "not feel guilty for being Happy" and "to stay with her GF" before going away. If Vi doesn't feel guilt After that are you gonna shove It down on her anyway?
Cause Vi only cared about Cait's coochie. Why else do you think she willingly ignored Powder? That's how lesbian characters are always written. Throwing aside family for a stranger.
@@mirai1-p8gbro that literally just means im going to end it you deserve to be happy. she swiped keys off the guards only to get jinx out of there and tried to convince her (jinx) to come with her (vi), if about a few hours later that changes then its judt stupid. vi clearly wanted to save her still, the sex scene cannot be explained, it was just fan service
@@mirai1-p8g it's just a badly written fanservice scene. The only logical sense here is Vi rushing after Jinx trying to save her (with Ekko's help)
0:36 her sad eyes made me sadder 🥺
And jinx finally broke the cycle, letting vi think shes dead is the inly way and its so sad
Vi just casually having sex after this while jinx is over here literally killing herself is CRAZY and so fuckin sad!! I am so confused and upset at why she find that more important than saving Jinx? If not for my boy Ekko, jinx would have died!💀
My girl Jinx deserved SO much better which is why I am so glad Act 3 ep7 exists!! At least she can be happy with ekko and everyone❤😭
That sex scene really messed with me first time around like fr
Plus they did that in the same cell where she harmed and malnourished herself because of suicidal depression, it's kinda fucked up. They need to have some respect for her.
@@jeb123 Fr!
@@jeb123 Creepy creepy Vi
@@LongNguyen-xt1hx I don't know if more poeple are aware how disturbing it actually is, what frustrates me more Jinx is gaslit into thinking Vi is the better sister and she is the one in the wrong
I really was conflicted between being sad and simping for her cause she look HOT omg
I CAME FOR THE LONG HAIR OMG
Vi stopped calling her powder even though they became friends again.
Did anyone else find it weird after she ran away and Caitlin opened the door to the cell that vi decided despite being worried for her sister that sleeping with Caitlin was more important? It felt forced or hurried.
Vi probably did THAT with Caitlyn bc she let Vi help Jinx escape.
@rift_right3259 yeah but wouldn't you wait if your sister appeared suicidal?
@@rift_right3259It’s definitely for that reason. Cait knew what Vi was up to and ordered all the other guards in different places away from the prison
Netflix logic
@rift_right3259 so because Caitlin did that, the fact that jinx seemed suicidal or not in the right mind set should be put on the back burner? I'm sorry but if my significant other did that for me, while I'm grateful towards them, my sibling i literally busted out of jail that I'm worried about would take top priority not hanky panky with my significant other.
Well Vi became very happy very soon after that
Hurts to hear Vi call her Jinx instead of Powder
Hurts to hear you say that since jinx wanted vi to call her jinx
I don’t understand why the authors had vi go down on some carpet without a care in the world while her sister was mentally unstable and about to commit suicide. Both scenes taint one another when paired together and leaves the viewer extremely confused and awkward.
The writers wanted to portray lesbians accurately, it seems.
@@SpideyfanXwtf is you problem bigot
In my head episode 7 is the real ending 😭
Then Vi ate a cupcake
What episode did jinx actively try to kill herself but ekko keeps on rewinding?
Season 2 Ep 9 and it was hilarious
She sure did give up on her. The moment she got freed, instead of trying to find Jinx, she clearly had other priorities.
What was the point of her story again?
Vi gave up on Jinx quite a lot, Jinx is just projecting
Apparently to show that lesbians don't actually care about their family and will abandon them if needed. Accurate representation, at least.
@@SpideyfanX lol homophobic idiot, you watch arcane from reels, from S1 Vi always trying to reach her
People in this comment section are a despair to humanity wow...
