Arcane S2(Act 3) : Pretend Like It's the First Time - Killing Is a Cycle - The Dirt Under Your Nails

That goes to the great animation of this show that people are able to interpret body language differently. Regardless of what the creator says, some of their subtle facial expressions and actions when interacting with each other cannot be explained as a “brotherly relationship” IMO

Alas, Jayce and Viktor were just friends. The co-creator Christian Linke said it was never even implied on their end but fans are free to dream. They are two beautiful men after all. Harry Lloyd did some of the best VO of the entire show for Viktor. He has a beautiful but tragic character arc. I love that they were there for each other in the end. By S2E6 I came to terms with the fact that our Viktor really did die in Jinx's attack. Even before the fusion with the hexcore, he was corrupted by it's influence. He begged Jayce to destroy in at the end of S1 because it has so much sway over him that he can't do it himself; it punished him when he tried after it consumed Skye. After Jayce 'saves' him by fusing them, the personality and humanity of Viktor is just a passenger really. The vestiges of his benevolent intent is what it uses to guide it's desire for 'glorious evolution'. It corrupts his intellect and good intention of helping his people. When Vik slid into Sallo's body so easily in S2E5, and then his conversation with Singed in the commune greenhouse in S2E6, we had too many hints that even if what he was doing for the afflicted and addicted of Zaun seemed good, the annihilation of free will is pretty much unequivocally evil. At some point, as Viktor expended more and more power helping people, eventually the hexcore would have driven him to take even the unwilling, but making the last vestiges of Viktor in that body think he was doing a good an righteous thing. Had Singed not been there to use some the regenerative capabilities of Warwick/Vander's blood to bolster what was left of Viktor, I think he would have died. Jayce did basically blast the hexcore out of him so I don't think it would have been able to reform or anything. Anyway, like I said I love Viktor's arc and I can't wait to see where Riot/Fortiche go in the next show. I haven't obsessed about a show like this since The Expanse.

In Ep.7 - The assumption I made about that timeline is that their Jayce either died in the explosion when Vi did, or he survived but was kicked out of the Academy and maybe Exiled as was going to be his punishment in S1 for his rogue research into Hextech. That way he and Viktor never collaborate and to create it. Powder keeps those hex crystals and hides them away ensuring no one else can continue the research. I don't think Powder knew exactly what was going with Ekko until she sees our version in the anomaly. Even with that info, she seems was wiser and more tempered so she is unlikely to let anyone dabble in Hextech. That being said, i would watch a whole series set in that alternate timeline, with the exception of Vi's death, it was nice to see Piltover and Zaun coexisting. Heimerdinger didn't poof into a pile of Ash so he probably just got tossed into another reality. I feel bad for that timelines Heimerdinger though, because he's just gone I guess. Edit: The music for the whole show has been phenomenal. Riot and Fortiche (the animation studio) started their collaborations doing music videos for the League events like season openers and other announcements. The music and score are done in house by a really good team. Alex Seaver wrote most of the music or in some cases he collaborated with handpicked artists like Woodkid, 21 Pilots, Sting, JID, Denzel Curry etc. I highly recommend you find Alex Seaver's YT channel; he upload breakdowns of 3 of the songs from season 1 and it is rad to see how they make the made the music or this show. Most shows just take a needle drop of an already existing song but Riot is really ambitious in that they invest in the whole package and make their own music. I have seen the sentiment from some viewers that they feel the music and the little montage sequences throughout the show are too intrusive or pandering, but I don't think the show would be the same without it. They even managed to make me enjoy an Imagine Dragons song, a band I always felt farily forgettable. Now, whenever I hear Enemy I get hyped because all my little neurons associate it with this show. We lost Viktor, Jayce, and Ambessa for sure. Warwick can survives almost anything I doubt he's dead but Vander's consciousness was obliterated in S2E8 when Viktor let go on his last shreads of humanity. Heimerdinger wasn't a pile of Ash so I bet he just got transported away when he was ensuring that Ekko get back to his timeline. The glimpse we got of Singed's daughter wasn't her human body if you go back and look. Singed was able to get what he needed from Viktor to bring her back but in a new body that looks like his own iteration of the automata that Viktor transformed his followers into. For League players and lore geeks it is how they are introducing the new origin for an established champion. I imagine we'll see her in the next as there are enough lore hooks that could make it feasible for Singed and her to end up in another place like Noxus or some region where they have sway since Singed aligned himself with them. As you guys caught it, and pretty much confirmed by the creators of the show; Jinx didn't die. Besides the Cait scene and the Jinx-ified 'The End' card, people have freeze framed and connected the dots to a reference to the ship we see at the end to S1E1 when Jinx said she would fly one day to mean that is alive. Ekko's pep talk kept her from doing herself in but she ghost-Silco was still not entirely wrong; for someone as damaged as Jinx, who has caused so much collateral damage, she needs to step away from that life to try and "rewrite her story" as Vi said believed she could. It could all end up being a ruse but it fits really well, so until Riot says we're all huffing the copium I will believe Jinx survived. I want to see her go to Bilgewater, become a pirate, hang out with Miss Fortune, and stick a bomb in Gang Plants mouth. The next show isn't going to be in Piltover/Zaun but some of the threads from this show will lead us into new parts of the world. Personally I think we're going to end up following Mel back to Noxus to reclaim her family's holdings/position and try to hunt down the Black Rose. There are a bunch of easter eggs that relate to Noxus in the outro. Also, the next LoL season is Noxus themed, a whole book about Ambessa and the Medarda lineage is coming out next year, there is a rumor that Mel is coming to the game as a new support champion. It would almost be weird if the next show doesn't somehow include more Noxus.

Great finale act wow, I’m so excited to see if we get more seasons or spin offs in this universe. I loved Powder/Jynx and echos relationship I didn’t see it either but I don’t hate it. I’d just like to say I fucking love viktor something about his character is just so beautiful and fascinating to me. I never saw him as a bad person to be honest. I don’t know if I’m the only one but I pick up some kind of romantic feelings between Jayce and Viktor I’ve felt it since season 1.

James

Everytime Trin calls him Hymendinger LOL

Kale

I checked on ChatGPT 4o which is up to date as it is paid for. They are not doing a season 3 sadly. They are planning a spin off show which expands on the universe of Arcane.

Anthony Ancona

just watching final episode of daredevil. i have also not seen jessica jones so i'm excited for that! Punisher is my favorite series out of the defenders so i am even more excited for that! cant wait

Country Mike n The Boys

Hi guys, there is no season 3, that's the finale, and Jinx is alive, the blimp at the end, she always said that one day she would ride one of those things.... and well.... but more shows from this universe will come, for now, there is one in production for over a year now!

Marcus - MugenMundo

I couldn't wait to see Trin react to the jinx and echo dance scene because she would actually know what the song is about beautiful but sad.

Shabaqo

Also heimerbro is alive his race don't actually due they just respawn in their village now wether he's back in his original universe or still stuck is not known

jac jacob israel

The Vi and Cait jail scene was originally much more in depth and longer but they had to cut it 😭😭 they was wilding

Alex the baller88

According to one of the co creator Vi and Cait will be back obviously But the most important one to me He also confirmed that ekko told jinx about Powder he went on to say that he thinks that ekko and jinx's story is worth continuing basically confirmed what everyone has been suspecting she's alive
