V STAN

This is my favorite episode of S2

Ashley

Been waiting for this

CuteAdorableDog

This is the episode that got to me I just want a whole show with Ekko and Powder in that world. Definitely gave me Gwen and Miles vibes from spiderverse but we actually get to see more

Gladeez

LETS GAUR

Thev2g

Lupa noticing the change in the intro. The goat!

Saveon

Please drop all three

Ghost

Heartbreakingly Beautiful. Those are the words to describe not only this specific episode but Arcane as a whole. Ekko giving Jinx the flower thats white and blue and when u spin it fast it mixes both of them💔 Amazing finale Act, cant wait for the reactions.

JohnnySmoke

what if ekko got some cheeks

Favourite episode

EnragedFliqpy

Yo I know it’s a community joke that sheera has foresight but it’s getting ridiculous now bro. “Is vi dead?” You need to be patched immediately

Ron H

yeah, you (or maybe just me) forget that these are kids who’ve had their entire childhoods stolen from them. This lil peak into what coulda/shoulda been is so bittersweet. Absurd amounts of pain.

Tejiri Ubiedi

ekko lost his boo thang..... 😓

PJ Winnie

TRIPLE DROP ? ? ? ?

Imari

I just thought about it but they probably sent Jayce to prison after that happened lmfao

Elijah Smith

Go ahead and drop last episode big dog - also sorry for your loss

Gilthwixt

Paralleling the intro song "Enemy" where the music video is the two of them being kids together is just...ugh. My heart.

zkdglo

16:30 Tom and Jerry ass yell 😭

PJ Rivera

Ekko seeing it all

Aniki Pft

I KNOW YOU WANT TO DROP THE LAST EPISODE TOO ROSHI, DO IT.

Tremaine

The plug that always come through

alex amyot

For all of you scouring the internet for any information on what comes next for LOL future shows and such. this video is all about it. its made with the youtuber necrit great source of LOL lore and Christian Linke co-writer of arcane and lead for everything animated/show done with the league of legend IP. its long but we got way more answer that what i expected. heres the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpTX7VDvlaA&t=494s

Imari

Fun little fact the dance scene was actually animated in 4 frames per second the exact amount of seconds he can go back in time

Ghost

Also when ekko is crossing that bridge he flashes back to Jinx laying down because he went back to go see her. Remember she blew them up when he stopped punching her in season 1, but the boy spun back💔

_Kiing

In the game ekko had a quote about jinx saying”I had a crush until you started talking to the gun” then seeing that happen actually was perfect and sad😭

MrGuy3000

Ekko: into the arcane verse vs Jayce in: Silent hill

Touin90

Lupa acting like he got hit with the hammer 😂

NicksKicks

Best episode of S2. Boy Savior remains the mvp. Beautiful and sad episode.

Hori Zon

Jayce picking his hammer for himself goes crazy hard

Tremaine

The homie dinger was right all along gotta pour one out for the genius 🫗

Solemnity

I have a depressing theory that Jayce went to the future of the same world they went to. Powder has everything she would need to at least start the process of bringing it about. Or maybe he went so far back to whatever event Heimerdinger mentioned in S1.

Isaac

Man, I loved this episode a lot. A lot of things to think about with what happened to certain people in this timeline. Jayce: Is most likely in jail ( or killed himself ). He was conducting illegal research with illegally obtained hex crystals and a child died in his apartment. The counsel having been very anti-magic wouldn't give him a chance at all, not even Mel would and even if she did see an investment, I doubt she could sway them because a child died from this so hextech was nipped at the bud with his research confiscated and probably destroyed. Viktor: With how the situation happened, Jayce and him never linked up. Even if he came across Jayce's work, there's nothing he could do with it on his own so he most likely just continued with his frail life and passed away ( hopefully he and Sky still manage to have a relationship before his passing). Ambessa: Because Hextech was never made, she never caught wind of it, there'd be no reason to come to Piltover, Mel would continue to be safe ( for now ) and she's most likely been assassinated by the Black Rose at some time or attempted to find weapons in a different region but I'm banking on her being assassinated because the Black Rose got eyes and ears and assassins everywhere. Silco: I'm assuming because of Vi's death, Vander must've been so distraught that it caught Silco's attention and like Sheera said, he might have came across the letter too. Silco still was working with Singed on Shimmer, but at some point, Vander and him must've worked out their differences and Silco just decided to not distribute Shimmer and went back on track to the original plan to get his nation of Zaun without turning their people in to addicts. And because the Undercity didn't turn to drug pushing the The Chem Barons aren't a thing either and they're either contributing to Zaun, being normal, or dead or in jail having still been trash people. Caitlyn: Lost her friend, Jayce, and never met Vi, she's just living her rich girl life. Probably still joined the Enforcers to follow Grayson ( the cool woman who worked with Vander to keep Enforcers away from the Undercity ). That's probably it. Marcus: Living his best life with his daughter. I swear people hate Marcus too much, there was still good in the guy and I'm pretty sure seeing Vi's death spooked the hell out of him and maybe he was the one who put that to Silco's attention that kicked off the chain of events that lead to Silco and Vander forgiving eachother.

Carlos

For having comparatively little screen time to other central characters, Ekko always has peak episodes and moments.

Gilthwixt

I've been a Jinx stan for like 11 years and when I say this episode hurt so fucking bad to watch, I mean it. Happy Powder & Ekko are going to haunt me for weeks, it's been three days and I'm still not over it.

CuteAdorableDog

sheera nailed it when it comes to the "pretend like it's the first time" line

Dazzo

Some fun facts about this episode: When Ekko and Jinx are dancing it is shown in 4 FPS due to Ekko's time rewind limit being 4 seconds. If you pause it when Jinx spins the pendant at the right time, you can see it's the outline of Ekko's face aswell as Jinx's face. Vander actually has the "Vi" tattoo on his hand in remembrance of her. Potential spoiler in regards to Heimerdinger if you're not up to date with League lore below _ Heimerdinger being a Yordle means he didn't die. The rewinding of time was just the limit of what his physical body could do. Yordles are magical creatures that go back to their home land (Bandle City) if their physical body gets destroyed, since they can only actually die due to old age.

Tellyg47

Didn’t even notice all the hints that Powder and Ekko was dating in this universe “trouble in paradise” Powder constantly touching Ekko, the necklace Powder was wearing. I love the show not tell Arcane does so well

Nermin Selimovic

She kept the Stones and Hextech never became reality.

Momo

My favorite ep this season 😭 I love Ekko and Powder

bleach

Ekko the 🐐

Guns

Sheera: "Did Jayce have his hammer in the chamber when he got there?" Salo: "Yes"

Planksir

Lupa and that tom and jerry scream lmao

Guns

Hear me out: Young Vi < All of Zaun. Would see her die 10 times over on the job

badln

jayce really needed this reality check so bad.. just taking responsibility and recognizing all the mistakes he made along the way.. plus now he knows exactly what it is to live in the undercity.. this made me like him and i've never liked him

User100

Best ep this season!

Tellyg47

Also notice that flashback that we saw of Ekko looking over Jinx body after their fight. It shows he went back to check on her, probably made sure she was still alive, imagine if he took her that day…

Gilthwixt

Also the reason why Jayce couldn't lift the hammer as easily is because the Hextech was deactivated in that one. Remember how they floated around in zero g the first time they figured it out, and the tools floating in this episode as Ekko powered his anomaly? Anti-grav is part of the tech, it's also how Vi's gloves aren't too heavy to lift. My theory about everyone's lives being better because Vi is dead is that Silco went to visit Vander after she died out of respect for Felicia and that eventually lead to them patching things up. Everything else falls into place from there - nobody else dies, shimmer doesn't flood the streets, Piltover doesn't have hextech to oppress Zaun or gap them economically. What we don't see is how life is probably worse for the people Ekko didn't talk to; Jayce is either in jail or dead because Vi died (remember how he was suicidal in S1 until Viktor stopped him?) while Viktor probably dies of his illness without hextech. Caitlyn never rises to sheriff because Grayson and Marcus are still alive, and she also never meets Vi.

Modiveram

Yordles never die.. They are just waiting to respawn

Guav

on that wheel ekko walked past on the bridge, it has all the logos for the lol esports teams

If Its

16:31 Tom screaming again

Oliverson

Ok so they don't mention this in act 3 at all but according to league lore heimer is still alive. The Yordle race are immortal, they don't die by natural causes and if they are killed they respawn in bandle city

Bria A.

There are context clues that Powder and Ekko are already in a relationship even before Arcane!Ekko bodyhops. There are little doodled love notes in Powder’s lab and their research notebooks, and Roshi pointed out her belt buckle too. I just think it’s really cute. 🤍 Also — the pendant, on top of being a flower, is also a collage of Ekko and Powder’s side profiles.

Chippsfinity

16:30 that tom and jerry scream

Rin Okumura

Even in Jinx happiest moment It's still too painful to watch. Rito really hates that girl for no reason.

Godrick

"GET THIS MAN A SWORD"

cyrus gudino

My respect for both Ekko and Jayce skyrocketed this episode. One had the strength to survive pretty much hell itself, while the other had the strength to leave heaven.

Godrick

Ekko saw the good playthrough, and Jayce saw the bad ending

Invader Rin

Actually, the reason Jayce was carrying his hammer in the future was because the core powered down. Without it, it's just a slab of metal. The core seems to lighten the weight.

Boogie's Games

My guy Ekko gets all the respect in the world 🫡

Whitney Williams

I definitely feel like Heimerdinger could have made this device but he was content. From the beginning of the show bro was so sweet and innocent. He didn't even realize there was political corruption going on around him. The horrors of how ignorant he was about the Undercity definitely took a tole on him and it makes me wonder what things he changed/fixed while he was in the alternate universe for 3 years. I refuse to believe this episode was the end for him

Persto

As all the edits are coming out, my favourite from this episode is "Jayce went through Hell, and Ekko had to renounce Heaven"

Guns

I think if the magician was Viktor and didn't save him, Jayce would die as a child and Viktor himself would die from his decease. So hextech would be like a creation creating itself. wouldnt make sense

YeCris

I think the main hint with powder still having the extra hextech crystals at the end is that it puts the idea that now that Ekko and Heimerdinger created hextech, now powder can re-create it...possibly going to a timeline where her sister isn't dead...

Caleb Gaming9099

This episode showed that, Jayce went to the future, ekko went to the present of a different timeline and hermendieger went to the past. I think it’s based off their personality, Jayce is always looking to the future and is the man of innovation, whilst ekko is focused on thriving in the present, and hermendieger is a little stuck in the past, or just fears it. Ekko has always like jinx by the way, i mean atleast he did when they were kids

Guav

also ekkos outfit looks similar to academy ekko skin but better

zILovePelmeni _

dont worry heimerdinger isnt dead. his race is immortal they just respawn in their hometown again. I guess heimer has to recreate the anomaly again with powders gemstones to go back

Hamshank

16:31 Someone tell Xema to put in the Tom and Jerry scream

Lash

Hiemer is in Yordle heaven

wren

heimerdinger’s song makes me cry, the lyrics are just so powerful. i was sobbing the whole episode lol

Danny C

Every time Sheera describes something with “geepers creepers” kills me 😂 Adding it to my list

Ariginal

Ekko rlly gettin that spiderman treatment where they both just get done dirty aka no happy funtime and def no smoochys from girl

zer0clue

Yeah I didn't even catch that on the first watch. He is really perceptive but he just doesn't connect the dots sometimes. That's why they're the best trio though, they complement each other well.

Black_Star

It just hit me ekko could only go back 4 seconds because he was using shards but if powder gave him the orbs he'd go back a lot farther

Jathen M Nakamura

Ekko and Powder's dance was in 4 frames per second, the same amount of time he can travel.

MilkyWay

Fuck that other Ekko I would have stayed sorry but not sorry.

Isaac

Fun Factoid on them translating Ekko's game mechanic here: Ingame, Ekko's ult causes him to rewind himself back intime, where he ends up causes a big explosion that does big damage. They translated that here to that 4 second test, wherever Ekko is when he rewinds time like that beyond the 4 second mark, he's technically doing his ult which is why Heimerdinger straight up exploded out of nowhere like that. lmfao

JotaroDrake

Okay yeah ima need a slice of life series with them two

Gevere

Quick comment, just to say that Lupa was right when he pointed out that Jayce struggled to move his hammer at the beginning. There's a quick shot a bit earlier where we see the blue light of the crystal fade. The hammer does feel lighter for its user when activated, similar to Vi's gloves I guess.

WorldWideLove2000

Us: DAMNIT WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE LET SILCO FIND THE LETTER IN OUR TIMELINE!!!! Arcane Creators: We must all suffer...for the sake of plot.

Loadedfrenchfry

Anyone wondering what that song is at 23:00 it's "Arcane - Collaboration"

ItsLargeDad

Easily. Can we just go back and act like everything ended there… it was so much happier.

Parlay miles

Jayce traveling the land betweens to become elden lord at this point

ItsLargeDad

On the flip side I’ve been an Ekko fan since I started playing the game like 5 years ago. This shit hurt, my boy just wants and deserves a little happiness in his life. Ultimately he left it all behind so he could go save his universe. At what cost…

Eduardo

16:31 lupa's tom & jerry scream killed me bro 😭

gr2ves

The transitions of ekko being in the sims while Jayce is in the pits of hell was hilarious

Mist

Hextech has antigravity properties which is why Jayce is able to carry that hammer when it works

Bria A.

Realistically speaking, he can only go back four seconds because that’s the duration of his ability in the game lol

Luiz Neckel

The miles joke is even funnier here in Brazil because Ekko and Miles have the same voice actor in the Dub

Owen Halloran

the lizards Jayce was eating look like the big one Singed made shimmer from.

CleoKujo

Know more than ever do I want Ekko and Powder/Jinx to be together

Isaac

Her keeping the stones isn't why hextech wasn't made.

alex amyot

its never got address in the show but heimer his species is called Yordle they are magical spirit from wnat seems to be an other dimension "bangle city" when one dies they repawns over there with some years time-lapse. Now this could always get retcon but Heimer is arcane co-creator favorite champions...

Isaac

Nah a child died from his illegally obtained hex gems. He's in jail and he might very also killed himself since he was pretty suicidal when they took his dream away.

zoltar

its the cut from ekko living life to jason in bagdad for me

Godrick

So if Vi dies, Silco and Vander make up. If Jayce dies, then Piltover and Zaun reunite and thrive together. Im ngl, idk if we could be cool knowing your existence made the world worse

Asher Ealey

12:52 If you notice this is after the fight. Which means Ekko came back to check if Jinx survived. He really loves that girl. Even if he knows it won’t be reciprocated

Ty Be

why did jayce invision mel turn into viktor in the fire?

Asher Ealey

Heimerndinger is really like freiren. 3 years is probably like days to him😂

Isaac

Yeah, that's why in season 1 he was casually talking about a decade of research and working out kinks in the hextech like it's no problem while Jayce and Viktor were flabbergasted.

Isaac

Because Mel and Viktor are the two most important people in his life and he's going crazy from isolation and loneliness.

Makeni

Good job Jayce, you are now in Chernobyl

angelic

i was giggling fr. like i felt so bad for jayce (obviously) but lmao !

meeran haq

By far my favorite episode of the series. Let them be happy ;_;

Asher Ealey

Ekko got shot out into Mario party while Jayce got sent into freaking Elden Ring

TheMilkMan

Jayce is going through what Viktor went through back in season 1, he was banging Mel while Viktor suffered to his disease. Now Jayce is in this hell while Ekko and Heimerdinger are just living the life of a party. 😂

long ass username

Jayce: literally sees the end of Piltover, the undercity & the death of EVERYONE he knew & loved Lupa: he drove himself crazy

Weiss Schnee

The spiderman jokes are definitely appropriate this ep

Thallon

Nah that’s groot holding the hammer 😂😂

Domehead

My Favorite episode of the series

Isaac

Well he could still be alive here. He attempted suicide after he was kicked out of the academy. Here he was most likely arrested and sent to prison right away because a child died in his apartment. I won't deny the possibility he'd still commit suicide while in prison though.

Jamaal Ellison

Goddamn everybody's doing Multiverse shit.

Engel

Props to Lupa for picking up that Ekko has always had feelings for Powder/Jinx. It's why he said that he gave up on her. Remember, he's the only one out the group who saw her descent into Jinx. It's why he was adamant to Vi that she was gone.

Jamaal Ellison

The showrunner said it takes a week to animate 4 seconds of animation and it's hand drawn. I'm guessing that's why it looks amazing and took so long. Mind you each episode is over a half hour.

TheMilkMan

Fun fact: Ekko and Powder's dance is shot in 4 frames per second, to reference Ekko's 4 second rewind.

Tay

The timing didn’t suck. Vander would’ve been a pawn to Viktor and Ambessa’s army was coming so….

Delinda Arts

Heimerdinger said I’m sick of this life shit bro. merch in the link below!PEACE!✌🏾

mongoh

He said that when he was trapped in a hole for who knows how long 💀

RinCaimo

Jayce's back was also SHREDDED by a chainsaw...of course his hammer is heavy

HeyImV

Lupa @ 16:32 sounds like Tom when Jerry fcks him up HAHA

Gmac paddiewac

So Jinx saw that it killed a loved one and hid it from the world. A very very different perspective

Reckless Company

Ekko better than me cuz I would’ve stayed 😂like shit I’m happy I’m staying

ShaquanVirse

My favorite episode of this entire series

ShaquanVirse

Correction - Some people are trash at doing multiverse shit and then you have Award Winning Stuff Like This

Jamaal Ellison

I'm not sure if that matters if everyone's doing it at once. It all kinda blends together after a while.

Godrick

not exactly. just wait till the last episode, its not just multiverse shit.

Godrick

its not about power, its about the effect. He CAN go back farther then 4 seconds, but the effects might just turn the people around him into goop

Godrick

caster vs caster= whoever ults first wins and Heimy got melted

Johnathon

Like Heimerdinger said, it reacted different with Jayce. Ekko and Heimerdinger went to an alternate universe, the magician sent Jayce to the future (probably had to do with the stone he was given). I don't think Jayce being alive or not in that universe would have changed where he ultimately ended up. Though I do agree that hextech doesn't exist there because the project was shutdown after it had ended someone's life.

Frazão

In league's lore yordles (Heimerdinger species) don't really die, when they die they respawn in Bandle city, yordle's hometown. So Heimer should be alive

Casually PS

Nah made me so sad powder and ekko being so happy together what could’ve been i would been made depressed going back to that shit whole

MGC

this ep and the last hurt me in ways i didnt think i could hurt bro

Kenny Scott

Her having the crystals at the end of this episode plays into a theory in episode 9 where everyone is putting bits of paper into the baskets after the war and you can see someone with the exact same hair (pink bits included) putting a piece of paper in too, some people think she built her own machine and switched timelines, idk tho

Casually PS

That ekko and powder dance was so nice but sad like they just enjoying themselves but ekko knows this is not his world

Casually PS

Rip heimerdinger he was a G for that sacrifice 😔

Rishad GB

after this ep all shiit was rushed for some reason and we will never know why

Engel

Ekko's and Powder's face can be seen in the gift he gives her. It symbolizes unattainable love. Which makes this episode more depressing and especially when we see Ekko alone mourning Jinx's "death" in the series finale.

stevmaster11

RIOT actully confimred that they will rework viktor in the game and also change his Lore since Arcane lore became Canon. If they make other shows I wonder if we see Heimer back or not

NecDW4

Heimerdylan was actually kinda fantastic.

meeran haq

It kind of is tbf. I absolutely love the show still but 8-9 needed to be spaced out to 8-12 to reach the same quality writing and depth the rest of the show had. I think even the cut content would have helped some.

AmTpGaMt

Dare yall to search the lyrics for Stromae's song then rewatch the Powder Ekko dance 😞

Eosliostro

The Reason why Jayce couldn't carry his hammer properly was because the hextech gem inside malfunctioned. Runesmith magic allows the user to lift heavier objects. It's the same reason why Vi abandons her gloves when they're damaged. I don't remember the weight but I believe her gloves weighs 1-4 tons each.

Neburcs

My theory with the crystals is that she develops hextech in this alternate timeline which leads to what Jayce sees in this episode. Heimerdinger tells us that he arrived before Echo did and spent so many days (1000 days?) in this alternative timeline. So what if Jayce went to the same alternative timeline but he arrived further into the future than Echo did. He arrived after hextech had been invented by Powder and destroyed everything.

ShaquanVirse

Timeline shinanigans - I believe Silko found the letter in that timeline, that's the only thing that makes sense for why he's good now (Me watching season 2 over last night & I finally got that)

Keyon Tinnon

Luppa yelling like a tom and jerry character at Jayces leg smash.. was everything

A. P.

bro said I can't leave, I just got my spotify popping

A. P.

Need a shorty to dance in 12fps with 💘

LilBread

Just so yall know heimerdinger isn’t dead he’s a yordel and when they “die” they end up in bandle city

godUsoland

Wonder if Powder will keep comparing Ekko with the Arcane!Ekko in her head going forwards. "He was so much more interesting than you!" "He's you, but better!" :D

Comfehhh

Powder and ekko having fun dancing vs Jayce in the doo doo mines

ZOOM

PEAK

JadonTheEternal

It's really heavily implied that AltEkko and AltPowder were together already, and that our Ekko told AltPowder about everything, that's why she seems so understanding when he say's he'll always remember and to pretend it's the first time.

WillGlacier

Crazy how we still don't know who the mage is. A lot of people thought it was Ryze (because runes and teleportation IS his specialty and they were in freljord) but his skin isn't blue so it can't be. Shit maybe it IS Viktor? This is mad weird
