2025-04-28 19:40:02 +0000 UTCSecond long comment incoming. The link has already been shared but just to be sure that we talk about the same thing, I'll repost it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I76wvt0aEE4 This is a yearly trailer at the start of the season for the game. It was made by Fortiche. They switched a bit the map and the gameplay of LoL to corresponds to a Noxus theme. Riot didn't wanted to confirm that it was about the future show. But all the elements are going this way. The next show should occur in Noxus. The rest of the comment is for after you watched the video so you may have explanations or maybe even more questions : ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ You start the video with a mage sort of drawing lines or shapes. -At 0:22 in the video, the shape corresponds to Mel, a wolf, and the Medardas emblem on its forehead. The same emblem that you can find on Mel's ring that ties to her family. - Then at 0:24, you have the arrival of Mel on the coast of Noxus. That's the same beach/coast where Ambessa was in the clip "Blood Sweat & Tears" that you already saw that's about Ambessa. At 3:59, you see the same cliff with Ambessa being pregnant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhTZTy1rZhw And interesting frame in that other clip, at 3:37 there is a small golden glow over the baby...which relates to Mel having powers. - The mages draws another shape at 0:40, it is the symbol of Darius, you can see it on the banners held by his army. He is the Hand of Noxus, a commander, a general and represents Might. He looks like a bit younger than the Darius we have in game. So, the stories that we have in Arcane and future shows may lead to the lore that players know, for those interested in the lore. He is fighting Trundle, king of the trolls. They come from Freljord, the northest region of Runeterra, a land where it's more likely to be snowy. There are warriors a bit like vikings and a culture of raids. He is a small troll but one of the smartest. He's supposed to be around 3m (9,84ft) and Darius is around 2m (6,5ft). - Arriving in a Black Rose Ball, you will meet Katarina. She is of a respected family in Noxus being the daughter of the greatest assassin in Noxus. She has a prey, no clue about who he is or why she is targeting him. - At 1:28, new shape being drawn. A fighter with two blades (being Katarina) being trapped by a giant Spider, marking the entrance of Elise. She was once human. She got bit by a Spider-god and turned into a magically altered human. She can swap between forms, humanoid or a gigantic spider. She has ties with the Black Rose. - We get back to the main event. At 1:44, you can see the frozen club of Trundle eventually freezing the two-handed axe of Darius. It's because the club is made of True Ice. It is a sort of magical pure ice, that can't really be held by any ordinary people. The fact that Darius tries to hold his axe at 2:22 may leave him some marks that can't be healed or treated because of the True Ice that freezes his blood and all. It highlights his strength, swinging with only a single hand and through pain. Trundle is surely just knocked-out. At 3:40, you may see trolls kneeling. They aknowledge Darius' victory. A duel between leaders instead of throwing the whole armies to fight. - At 4:17, you see the face of the mage who's been watching from afar. She is Leblanc. Leader of the Black Rose. Interesting thing is that you don't see her fingers like there is a black veil. In Arcane, she interacted with Mel, and was covered in a black veil and you get to see the tip of the fingers. It's reversed like she was just a manifestation, a magical hologram type. She was there without being there. She is joined by the other leader of the Black Rose, Vladimir. He is not a vampire per say. He is a mage who specializes in Hemomancy, arts of Blood magic. Earlier when Mel is fighting, in what looks like a mental projection, she fights blood mages who surely are servants of the Black Rose. - The final shape drawn at 4:57, the Calamity, it's still unclear. Lots of theories. ------- That part is really about wild guess At 4:22, you may see on the wall, on the left, Mel represented as the wolf, a raven on the left of Vladimir who should represents Swain an important character in Noxus, and maybe on the right side Darius. If that's correct, it may relates to the three core principles of Noxus. Ambessa talked about it when she was training/sparring with Caytlin. Might = Darius Vision = Swain Guile = Mel ? Since she is was fox as well...sly as a fox. She may end up one of the future rulers. Noxus, in the lore, is or will be (that's a question of timeline that we are in now) ran by three people. It is known as the Trifarix. Dividing the roles of governing and spliting the roles over different aspects. The thing is that I may have forgotten things here and there that I wanted to talk about. But here comes the end of my unending comment. ;)

2025-04-27 19:11:46 +0000 UTCHey there ! Long comment incoming once again. 1) Jinx is alive. You can see a purple/pink light going out through the pipes just right before her grenade explodes. Remember that she is still powered by shimmer. That's why you can see Caytlin checking the archives after that and exploring the blueprints of the hextech gate. She has the head part of the grenade in her hand. If you watch again right before the explosion, you'll definitely see it. At the end of the show, you have an airship going away. In the episode 1 of season 1, Jinx said early on "One day, I'm gonna ride on one of those things". It's one way to end the cycle as Silco said in episode 8. "I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away." At first that will was more suicidal than anything (more like a lack of will) but Ekko our boy savior kept her alive. That intro of episode 9 is really heavy. By going away, she allows Vi to be with Caytlin fully. Vi won't be split between the two of them, she won't have to protect Jinx anymore (like a big sister would) or be responsible for her. Vi, now, has only Caytlin to be with. "It is never late to build something new." She may go elsewhere and start like she never created chaos. 2) I left a comment after season 1, that you should see openings of season 2. Well, most of the openings had a small detail that was hard to catch...was it spoilery...hard to say since I think it would have been hard to understand it beforehand if you caught that detail. You had the vinyl in episode 7 with Ekko and Jinx. Sure. But there were more than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xojWThqD4YE In the link above you have all the 9 openings in comparison with a slow mo at when there is a change. And there are important frames. Like at 0:16 seconds, you have in the 3rd opening the fight Vi against Jinx. At 0:21, you had, in the 6th opening, Isha mimicking the shot with her hand as a clue that she was going out in this episode. At 0:35, you have different frames representing the state in which Vander is in depending of the episode. At 1:02, instead of having of V shape in pink neon lights, you have a X on Vi's face in the 7th opening as a foreshadow that she is dead in that world. At 1:18, you have a blue X on the left eye of Caytlin, the eye that she loses in her fight with Ambessa. Well, there's a lot of them, I'm gonna let you go through it. Arcane is all about details ! 3) The aftermath has to be bitter to Ekko. He kinda lost Heimer, Jinx, some firelights. It's pretty sad seeing him, at the exact spot where he kissed Jinx in the alternate timeline, burning a name. That spot where it looked amazing, lively and all, now just looks like a place of solitude. What's left for Piltover and Zaun ? They may bond together quite like in episode 7...a world without magic trying to fix issues after a tragedy but this time without some brilliant minds like Jinx, Claggor and Mylo or even Heimer. A time to mourn and after that a time to re-build. 4) Some small details in this episode : -Mel actually created a shield over Maddy instead of Caytlin. So, the bullet Maddy shot could only bounce back to her. -Maddy was the once carrying the bomb in her bag, so she is the one who set the nail to block the device from exploding. -Ambessa blocked few shots fired by Caytlin. It was due to her "bracelet" type runes that can act like a magical shield. Caytlin was using her hextech sniper, so a weapon that uses magic. -Jinx's balloon, when she arrives in battle, is her room where she lived. If you remember the propellers and all. -The raven with 3 eyes to the side at the end...is actually a reference to another character that surely will be in the next show. Swain, the Grand General of Noxus. (or future Grand General) -Orianna, the daughter of Singed, ended like her mechanic ballerina. Don't know the details of how Singed operates. But he surely took some of the regenerative powers of Warwick when they went through the process of saving Viktor and transforming him into "his glorious evolution". I wonder what was the conversation between Jinx and Ekko after she saw his device at the start of the episode. Since there are monkeys, she may understand that she has something to do with it. They are still some mysteries like The Black Rose but you have to see Arcane as part of a bigger universe, a bit like watching Captain America being part of Marvel and then you will get connexions here and there with other parts of Marvel universe and it will interconnect when needed. They are already producing shows for Noxus, Demacia and Ionia. So, other regions of Runeterra.
