Emotional damage with this one. 😭

I feel like you both broke at the exact point I did - with Ekko's sad little look when he asks if they can pretend like it's the first time. Baby boy :(

OK THIS IS MY FAVOURITE EPISODE OF THE SHOW WTFFF

It really saddens me to think if Vi could choose this reality, where she's dead but everyone else is ok, she'd do so in a heartbeat. Best episode of the season, maybe even the series? So wrapped up in seeing everyone happy and healthy I kept forgetting Jayce was in hell lol

Master Gravy

"That" dance scene was recorded at roughly 4 Frames Per Second ;)

I think Jayce not coming to the same world as Ekko and Heimer (aside from the mysterious mage stuff) could be because he died. Either by the initial explosion, or two, because of Vi's death Viktor never came to stop him from jumping.

AAAAAAAAH...

This episode was so amazing. I love that they saved a whole episode for what could have been. Would love to see a whole series just in that world

AdmiralZhou

Can't wait for the edited version!

I saw someone said that Jayce saw what cannot be and Ekko (and Heimer) what could have been (just here to quote others comments haha)

There are billions of lovely ladies like Powder but only 1 Jinx. Hope this helps you get over the pain.

This is probably my favourite episode of the season. I suspected there was going to be some time travel/parallel dimension stuff at some point but I didn't expect it to be this beautiful and wholesome, excepting the Jayce stuff. Of course it's Arcane so it's all predicated on Vi's tragic death, and presumably Jayce being sent to Stillwater or banished from Piltover. Seems Jayce can't catch a break in any dimension. If there's one minor thing I didn't like about the episode it's Silco being there. In the same way I didn't like Marvel's What If making Thanos a peaceful bar tender either, it just makes this dimension a little too perfect. But I think Haylo is right this is the universe where Silco found Vander's letter, so I can swallow it. I'm pretty Ekko was just suppressing alternative Ekko's mind and possessing his body, but then that means Heimerdinger was doing the same and sacrificed himself and alternative Heimerdinger, and was fine with stealing his body for three years. Little unethical if you ask me. Also I hated Mylo's mustache.

Same here, but Episode 7 was easily my favorite! I’m so glad I got to see this romance between Ekko and PowderπŸ’šπŸ’™. I’ve rewatched this episode so many times after finishing Episode 9, it was so freaking cute and beautiful😭

What could have been T_T If only Silco had the strength to forgive

That episode was easily the most beautiful episode of the whole show. It was beautiful inside (story, character development) and out (animation, music)...πŸ˜πŸ’– Even the post-apocalyptic void Jayce walks through is beautiful in its dark, distorted way. 😱 ALTERED OPENING CREDITS: - The flashing images in the opening credits are always placed with the characters the episode centers around, in this case Ekko and Jayce. - Between Caitlyn and Jayce you can see the kneeling figure that Jayce get's his hammer from. - When Vis face is shown you can see the two V-shaped beams across her face change into an X, hinting at her being dead in this episode. - And when Ekko jumps the green light beam, you can see Heimerdingers face with his goggles on. Imagine how Ekko must feel after he spent half of his live watching his beloved Powder turn into Jinx more and more, no wonder he threw something at her the first moment he saw her. Seeing a healthy Powder smile happily is such a wonderful picture, it heals our hearts as viewer so much to see her this way. πŸ’– This show is all about forgiveness and love and that everything you do has consequences, so Vi "had" to die for this storyline, as sad as it is. It couldn't be any of the others, their death wouldn't have such an impact. Her death - the death of a beloved big sister, a leader and protector amongst the teenagers of Zaun - triggers all the changes for the better. A teenager dying in an explosion at a failed break-in was the wake-up call both cities needed. Jayce is out of the picture (dead/arrested/banned) at a time where he didn't figure hextech out yet and Powder never figured out that the blue gem stone caused the explosion, so hextech got never invented. Having her remaining family still intact, Powder was able to make peace with the loss of her sister and the circumstances and could grow into this wonderful person we saw right now. Marcus felt for the kids and never got this angry and corrupted. Ekko never lost Benzo. Vander and Grayson never died and were able to bring the cities closer together. Silco found Vanders letter and they reconciled and were both able to let their vision of Zaun become reality. Unfortunately, Vi and Caitlyn never met. Man, I love this show so much... About the dreams, Ekko has: "Our" Ekko says he dreamed that Zaun could be like this. I think his dreams were flashes of this universe. Powders tells us that "her" Ekko sometimes zones out and has dreams that gave him ideas what to invent. I think that is him getting flashes of our Ekkos ideas. These universes (that are so similar to each other) seem to influence each other... This show is so great and so unparalleled can't wait to see your next reaction to it...🀩

It's a Thaumatrope, two sides spun together to make 1 image. The image is made from Blue Peonies and Ekko/Powder's faces intertwined. Blue Peonies specifically represent an unattainable/unforgotten love, as Ekko isn't her Ekko. It also represents the 2 sides of Powder, the blue being Powder and the blank slate she's yet to write.

Ekko and Jinx will be my head cannon, Just me a grown ass man tearing up on my couch watching this damn show. I haven't felt this attached to character in a long time, Even with recent anime and TV Shows I just feel like the story is so genuine. Great reaction, The emptiness of the shows ending no doubt plaguing so many of us.

Daaylen Watson

Love that they used episode 7 in both seasons to tell Jinx/Powder + Ekko's stories! And the way they used similar stop motion animation for both their bridge fight and their dance scene, it makes their scenes together so unique and I love all the callbacks this show does! Does anyone know what does the necklace that Powder puts in the drawer symbolize??

Casey

This episode ripped me into so many pieces I don't think I can watch it again. ugh

HauntedSandwich

Also wait I love that y’all (appropriately) bursting into tears at β€œcan we pretend it’s the first time” upset your dog πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

Ekko and Powder dancing really hurt even more when you understand the lyrics of that french song, here is a translation : [Intro] I love you, I'm waiting for you, I love you, I'm waiting for you I love you, I'm waiting for you, I love you, I'm waiting for you [Verse 1: Stromae] You're the best thing to ever happen to me But also the worst thing to ever happen to me The day I met you, maybe I would have preferred That it never happened The worst of blessings The most beautiful of curses I should walk away from you But as the saying goes Better poorly accompanied than alone [Pre-Chorus: Stromae, Stromae & Pomme, Pomme] You know what they say Stay close to your dearest friends, but also, keep your enemies even closer [Chorus: Stromae, Pomme] But my greatest enemy is you Run from me, the worst is you and I But if you are still searching for my voice Forget me, the worst is you and I [Verse 2: Pomme] Why does your name hurts me When it hides just there in the void ? What emotion is this ? is it hatred Or tenderness when I hear your name? [Pre-Chorus: Pomme] I told you to not look back The past following you is waging war [Chorus: Stromae & Pomme] But my greatest enemy is you Run from me, the worst is you and I But my greatest enemy is you Run from me, the worst is you and I [Outro] I love you, I'm leaving you, I love you, I'm leaving you I love you, I'm leaving you, I love you, I'm leaving you

Radouan

Can we talk about Heimerdinger just deciding to chill and learn to play banjo/harmonica really well for 3 years, wondering when/if Ekko would even show up? A genuine inspiration πŸ˜‚

Daniel Lee

let's gooooo, haven't seen it yet so am super hyped + nervous for this hahaha

_kags

been waiting all day for this!! I’m so grateful that Ekko and Jinx get a universe where they get to be happy together, but my heart hurts for every single character we grew to love over the course of this amazing series. Still processing a lot of emotions, but this episode was absolutely lovely.

Daniel Lee

Still trying to cope with the fact that it's over. This here episode might be our all-time favorite of the series, even though it's so hard to choose! Eps 8 & 9 will be uploaded soon as well!
