At least make it a fun apocalypse! I wouldn't mind going out in a blaze of glory to annihilate a bunch of infected 😂

Regarind Ekko and his time powers: He doesn't have them yet. The scene on the bridge is a nod/foreshadow to those powers, but he is just remembering a game him and Powder played when they were kids. That is why he could predict what Jinx would do because of how she played it when they were kids. It is also to show that the were very close as children. Also when Jinx pulled the trigger on the bomb at the end, in my interpretation she was done with life. That is why she didn't try to pin the bomb on Ekko, it was more to end herself. In her mind her sister just abandoned her again, she just fought against one of her best childhood friends (Enemy music video highlights this a bit more) and she doesn't trust her new father figure Silco 100% any more. Plus we saw signs that she doesn't have a high value for her own life (e.g. Ep. 4 her first lair scene where she kicks the bombs of the ledge in the last second)

It's my favorite episode. OG Silco + Jynx whispering the song from episode 1 on the bridge + the lighting of the spotlights in the smoky night... And above all, Ekko is my favorite character. Not only his design and the rapping and street-art associated with him are cool AF, but I have so much sympathy for the way he chose to take. This world of inequality, privilege, crime and corruption really needs him. Unfortunately, every season has an end. I'll be there for "The Last of Us" but if you haven't started watching "Bridging the Rift", please react to it. Don't watch it without us! I love your analyzes and Arcane so much. There's a way to extend our Love for Arcane beyond the end of Season 1.

Thank you so much for pointing this out! You are right he doesn't have the Z-drive yet! However I do believe his introduction and his powers will play a major part in the future of Arcane. Time travelling is a great tool for scriptwriting when its done right and seeing how the team at Riot handles things I know we will be in for a treat! And yeah...that attempt at giving up on life was devastating! This show broke us man. But we are absolutely in love with Arcane now.

This episode was one of our favorites too! So much to unpack. So much character development as we explore their motives and desires. Gosh I wish this didn't come to an end. These characters started meaning more to me than I ever thought they would and the show's commentary is one we deeply appreciate. Just like the game League of Legends which looks pretty straight forward until you start playing it. Arcane could've been a simple animated show for the fans of the game. But it's a way more complex show filled with intricacies, character development and exploration, amazing commentary about classism and what we do to achieve our deepest desires. This show is a 10/10 for us and we could not be more grateful for the experience.

Also yeah! Bridging the Rift and more league related reactions to come!

It always fascinates me when people are somehow more trusting of Silco than of Mel. This story is so incredibly well constructed, isn't it? It's shamelessly pointing out people's biases left and right. Another fascinating thing I see from reactors all the time is understanding where Marcus is coming from, but when he shoots Ekko, their "empathy goes straight to zero". Like all of a sudden, you're supposed to sacrifice your daughter in the name of "doing the right thing", and if you fail to do that, you're just a piece of shit well beyond redemption. Just because you tried to hurt someone we like. What interesting creatures we are. Honestly, we all deserve to die in a horrible nuclear apocalypse.
