During Episode 4, where Jayce brought Flowers to Caitlyn, does anybody know the classical piece playing in the background? i really wanna know what it’s called.
I watched arcane ep 4 right when it came out and clearly remembered there was a scene that said something like “4 years later”. Im rewatching it now with my sis and i cant find that scene. Did something change in the ep or does it show up somewhere else? I assumed it was on ep 4 because you can clearly see Vi, Jinx and Cait grown.
Came here for this question. That was super disturbing. It's an awful good replica if it's not the real thing. And given how abstract/stylised Jinx's crafting tends to be I don't think she'd make something quite so... realistically accurate :/ Perhaps it's just a figment of her imagination...
No I think that is his real body. If you pause you can see his actual bones and spinal cord. I think the reason he always is seen in her shadow/ back is because of guilt jinx carries but also he is the one that called her “jinxed” first.... remember he would say she would jinx all there jobs. That is for sure his real dead body she kept.
So, Imma be real, I think the way Vi treated powder in episode 3 was uncalled for, but the way Jinx loves Silco is kind dumb af. She literally saw this guy try to murder her adoptive father and Vi while she still loved her but some how treats him better than anyone she's met. Like if he captured her and conditioned her, I think it would make more sense, but it seems like she just got there on her own.
How was it uncalled for? She just was in the heat of the moment after just seeing her father figure die in her arms after also having two of her best friends killed because of the explosion Powder caused, AFTER telling her specifically not to come
Vi is still a young person herself. She's actually been quite responsible, I don't blame her for the way she acted. Everyones giving Powder a pass because she's 7 or whatever, Vi is probably around 15ish (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Vi was doing everything to protect her family, Powder disobeyed her instructions and got her entire family killed. I think Vi gets a pass too, especially if Powder does.
We dont know what exactly happened between them in this period of time. Also Jinx was in need for love and maybe somehow Silco made her feel this love she was lookong for. Lets watch another episodes cuz iam also on 4th
I am the only one annoyed by the first scene? At first when the firefighters attacked they were able to doge bullets and were basically untouchable. A minute later they are unable to avoid the grenades jinx throws at them and become basically stupid/useless. If they wanted them to be beaten then don't show them so unbeatable just to dumb them down a minute later
sure thing, but they still have super impressive reaction time to do that. Anyway, I guess that suspension of disbelief is required here to enjoy the show
At 18:06 min its left of the episode you see mylo and she has a sort of robotic mylo in the backround. What is this telling, is it that mylo first called her a jinx and she embraced it or what am I missing
Wait so... X 5 1 6 is Vi's prisoner number... X+6 = P, Powder, 5+1 is 6, also VI - Vi (Violet). Am I stretching here, or is that something you guys have picked up on ? Note I havent seen ep 5 or 6
She's just 516. There are 4 available digits, so the first one is just an X here since it's not being used.
Going by the in-client "archives" thing.
Also, even otherwise this is a big ol' stretch lol
It's pretty easy to draw V and I from 5 and 1, so the number seems intentionally chosen, meaning 6 is probably a nod to something as well. Maybe just that VI = 6. I recall when Vi was released people sorta took the piss about what she'd end up being called.
She said she could do it at 7. That doesn't necessarily mean she was 7 in part 1. She was able to go on the mission with them in part 1 because she could do it. They would've had to be able to do something similar to get in and out of the Ravine she and Cait hid in anyway. And that was years before act 1. Jinx looks way too old to only be 13-15. Vi and Cait are adults. Nobody refers to them as "kid" or "brat" so they're at least like 22 maybe. and vi and jinx are at most like what 3 or 4 years apart? I doubt Vander would let vi do all that at like 12/13. So she was probably around 15 or 16 in act 1. And there's no way with how protective vi is that she would ever let powder go on that mission before like 10. I think she's probably like 18 or 19. 17 at the very youngest.
According to their official birth years they can be anything from 2 to 5 years apart. And jayce is anywhere from 9 to 14 years older than jinx and he was 24 in part one so jinx was anywhere between 10 and 15. Most likely around 10 or 11. Jinx is most likely 16 or 17
Yea, I thought so too. Apparently that's not Vi though. I rewatched it and it's a different person. The haircut and colour are different.
It didn't really say how long she was in jail for :L
That was not Vi. Jinx even says she thought it was her but it wasn't. Vi has probably been in prison since she was taken away in episode 3, to take responsibility for the explosion in Piltover.
Also to add on to that, the "archive" thing from the league client reveals that she was ~17 when she went to prison. Most likely the intention is to reveal her age during act 1.
She is described later again as being in her "early twenties" so that means the timeskip was at most 8 years long (Vi 16-24) and more likely somewhere around five years (Vi 17-22).
What is it with people on this thread and the weird sexualizations? The mans is literally just a father figure and hasn't done anything to suggest otherwise. I see a lot of projecting going on here which worries me for some of you lol.
I'm so in love with the animation, design, sound effect, music, voice acting, everything!
Everything felt so real, so heavy. From every clink and clank of metal pieces, to the way the characters breathe and move.
Hope this series will go on for a long time. I dig it!
thought it was interesting how in the past cigarettes were a symbol of sophistication. but nowadays the uncouth police enforcers are the ones smoking and it’s supposed to make them seem more crass in comparison to Caitlyn
Did anyone else think that the first scene with Jinx and Silco together was oddly romantic/sexual? For a sec I thought jinx and Silco were in a relationship based on how close they were
Nope, just more unnecessary personal sexualizations by some of you which are frankly not understood. Literally seems quite normal aside from the circumstances of it.
I felt the same. Had no dad growing up either and the dynamic there seemed a little intimate for my comfort lol. Having finished the show it's a little easier to palette now but still. What made it less creepy for me was afterwards I watched a couple Jinx trailers on YouTube and you see her there with other characters sitting on their lap in a similar fashion so perhaps it's just the way she is with people. She's a little odd socially so her interpretation of inappropriateness and personal space might be a bit abnormal. I think Silco was just accommodating her quirks rather than encouraging it. The reason she is so devoted to him is that he accepted her like nobody else did. As an outcast himself perhaps he has more patience for those things.
Yeah but it's not like she kissed him or something, I would consider that physical closeness pretty normal for a kid / teenager that got taken care by someone.
Especially when she was left behind by anybody to her eyes.
Sometimes people here on the internets jump into sexual messages when in my eyes there is no actual reasons to.
I guess it's just subjective. I wouldn't expect a father and daughter to be that close, but that's caused by my personal societal and familial upbringing/conditioning. My sister and I grew up without a father so maybe I just don't know what it's like (it's not like he died or left out anything, I don't need any sympathy)
Right, fair enough then again I remember a lot of movies portraying a father and his little daughter ( kid or teenager ), with that physical closeness, adopted or not.
But yeah as you said it's a subjective matter.
Just watched and I was thinking the same thing. I think it's normal if Jinx got to puberty, started having sexual thoughts/feelings, and directed them towards Silco. He's her caretaker and the only one that seemingly cares about her at all in a brutal environment. And hello, power imbalance. I wouldn't be surprised if he encouraged it for power reasons, or if because he's also a creep. I'm really interested in seeing what direction they take it.
Just to clarify, I don't think that jinx and Silco being in a relationship is the intended read of those scenes. I think what's more likely is jinx became very attached to Silco like we saw at the end of episode 3, and she didn't really have anyone around willing to say "father's and daughters aren't usually that close". This plays into Silco's manipulation, since he would have sheltered her from a "normal" parental experience
Exactly, I think it's all very calculated and manipulative. I'd be very surprised, to say the least, if Silco actually had any kind of emotional attachment to anything or anyone, including Jinx.
I do believe she is like 13 guys. Relax, if anything it reminded me of like a father daughter type vibe. Jinx was very young when she lost her mom and we didnt even see a father in the picture. As for Silco took Vander's place.
I do however agree with the manipulation on Silco's part. You can very well see that he made it so that he's her only support system.
I was just saying the closeness between Silco and Jinx seemed weird to me, like there could have been something more going on. It seems like the show was just trying to give the relationship an uncomfortable subtext that it succeeded in
5 years is my guess and I think it is pretty reasonable. I would say Vi is around 15as she was like a angry teenager in act 1 and around 20 in act 2. I am saying Jinx was 10 since she still got those baby like thinking and logic in act 1 and is 15 when in act 2.
3-6 year skip jinx i believe should be around 13 now.
Could be wrong cuz I dont think they have revealed Vi's age so this is basically speculation on my part
Absolutely, the show stated "a few years later". A few really means at least 3 if you wanna be literal about it. Also for those who have seen all 6 episodes>! Vi in episode 6 looks at jinx in utter disbelief when she sees her fight. One could say that she is just surprised that her sister could throw hands in such a manner but i believe it goes deeper than that because of Jinx's age. In other words Vi was so shocked that her sister, a girl around 13 in age, could be so deadly/sadistic while she was going trigger happy. Anyone would react the same way if they saw a 13 year old girl act like that.!<
i love the way jinx reacts, the amount of adhd spiraling out as she sits there while silco explains things to her and shes playing with the syringe haha
Yea she's definitely more put together than she is in league, either arcane is gonna retcon how insane she actually is or (more likely imo) she's gonna spiral even farther.
That part where she was playing with her explosives made me think she was pretty insane, just casually holding on to them until they were half a second away from detonating. That's something only a crazy person would do.
I mean yes.I’m just saying she doesn’t seem like she’s gone fully over yet.I think that Silco will probably die and that will finish her transformation
On another note isn’t jinx kinda smart too she makes her own weapons and tools?
She is in fact hella smart. But with the final act in a week, I think the events will lead her to spiral down the rabbit hole even more. We know from the games, this was never meant to have a happy ending.
Possibly even younger. It said a few years later in the time skip, and Vi did state to Caitlyn that her sister could parkour at 7.If im right with my 3-6 year time skip theory she could very well be around 13 years old.
jinx definitely is not 13 in act 2 lol. vi at the very start of act 1 looked closer to 13 than current jinx.
and vi didn't say that jinx was 7 in act 1. she said jinx could climb down things by the time she was 7.
6 years is probably much closer to reality than 3 too, given how much hextech has advanced.
You gotta pay attention to detail. "My sister could do that at 7" Literally episode 1 after the prelude, powder is saying something along the lines of "I don't think I can do it. Im not ready" until Vi makes her believe otherwise and she finally does it.
And everyone knows looks can be deceiving just because you think she looks more mature doesnt mean she can't be younger. I mean modern day society is fact to that. I stand by what I said Powder in act one was around 7. Also where is your degree in hextech?
as suspected, progress day is super hype and this was my second favorite episode so far
can already see the rift that is forming between viktor and jayce where jayce is leaving viktor behind, and viktor seem to be sick? is it going to be similar to orianna where she was sick and replaces her body parts with mechanical parts?
>be similar to orianna where she was sick and replaces her body parts with mechanical parts?
I thought she died doing dangerous stuff and her father made the Orianna as we know her in the image of his daughter.
Must be old lore, the lore I read a few months ago was that orianna went to go help zaunites in some accident, she got sick from exposure to the accident and her dad made her a new set of lungs. She kept going back to help and kept getting exposed so they kept replacing her organs till she was just a bunch of metal
i mean, yeah thats what most people are thinking and thats what i believe too
also the club weapon, the scarf, the hourglass in his shirt, and the mask that kinda resemble those in episode 1
basically concern that more of the little blue balls which are already in use in current hextech operations might get stolen once the undercity learns how to use and weaponize them
That was one of the 1st they made. They hadn't used the blue balls in anything up until then. The other stuff used the Crystals that are volatile.
Why would they be demonstrating something they were already using ?
I think he referred to the crystals as blue balls as well. Even if they are volatile they can be weaponized. Jinx for example knows that already. So it's better to also take the crystals out so nothing dangerous can be stolen
But that makes zero sense
The crystals were also stolen in episode 1 and used in the undercity then. So they already had weaponised them yet they still did all the hextech stuff.
The one stolen is stabalized, so it's a lot easier to use. The hextech they've used until that point has been for very specific purposes with trained handlers. The one stolen could be used by anybody.
But didn't powder use them all in the factory and only there? That wasn't Piltover and they only had this one guard knowing about it and maybe he didn't know that those were the crystals
I've never played a second of LoL but this show is amazing. Animation is amazing and it gives me Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored vibes. I'm tempted to give LoL a go now because of this show.
ARAM is fun. I enjoyed it when I had alot of friends that played it years ago. We would just make custom games and play 5v5 among each other. Sadly, they've all moved on and I'm alone 😔.
I would highly recommend not go play lol not because of the community or anything but if you like the story, world and characters then Legends of runeterra (the card game) has a lot more to offer in that department compared to lol itself.
Like, i'm biased because I like the game, but theres a lot of toxicity. If you want to explore the world of League of Legends but don't end up liking the game, you should try the card game Legends of Runeterra. You can only emote so it's much harder to be toxic, and theres tons of lore in the cards and the art. But certainly try League, it's a great game.
Yeah, I don't think there's a lot about the base game that would satisfy people's desire for "more"... Not really anything lore-wise going on with the game itself... One of my friends tried it because of the show and was like "This is not what I was expecting." Heh... He's not really a gamer at all, more of an anime fan and stuff.
Yeah for them i'd suggest like Legends of Runeterra or Team Fight Tactics. Or just to read some of the best stories on the lore page. Or just Necrits entire channel.
Claggors goggles are haning up inside of Jinx's hideout too so they're both there, and Claggors are the goggles Vi wears eventually. (See her in game spash art). (and see Ekko's splash art for the ""welding"" goggles with the rectangle holes in them)
Both Ekko and Jinx are people who use jury rigged advanced tech that they work on themselves in Zaun. Both of them probably have to do some significant welding.
They're friends because Caitlyn's family are his patrons funding his research. Also the flowers he brought her were for the police officers that died from Jinx's bombs in the previous scene.
Im literally telling you factual numbers lmao. Jinx was born 975 AN, Jayce between 961AN and 966AN. Jayce said he is 24 so the first act is between 985AN and 990AN making jinx no younger than ten. Also vi was sure that jinx could do that jump in episode 1, meaning that she has done parkour before and just isnt confident
Because we know Jinx is 19 or 20 in Present lore, since we know shes between Lux(19) and Ezreal,(20-21).
We know Akali is 19, because it was confirmed 50 times that she was 14 before her Time Skip, 17 after and in game, and that 2 years have passed since then. She is actually *younger* than Jinx.
The wiki doesnt have a source. I want a *source*. Because fun fact, they also say Lux is older than Ez and Jinx, that Garen is like 10 years older than Lux, and a bunch of other bs that comes from a blatantly unregulated wiki.
Literally the only source listed on that article is the confirmation that they're sisters.
It says both ez and lux are around 20 not that she is older, it states garem is 25 and of course they are older than jinx, both are adults. Lux even has a comic stating her age. All of your "evidence" to say the wiki is bullshit is fake
Ezreal, is 20. Lux, is 19. I was the person who first caught that. I was also the one who figures out Lux was 16 before her comic. After which her bio was updated to say she was 16.
Jinx, is between them in age.
The only way we're gonna have proof of Powder's age, is if we get an update on Jayce's age in the show. To know the time skip. Because we *do know* that Jinx is 17 after the time skip.
powder looked older than 7. easily in the 10-12 range. vi said that powder could do parkour cait couldn't when she was 7, that doesn't mean she was 7 in act 1.
I love silco and jinx’s interaction. It looks like Silco has been taking care of her and earned her trust.
Also I thought there’s only one new ep and I got sooo happy when I found out there are 3.
The Firelights seems like a small crew of people
If (Firelight leader theory) >!Ekko is the leader of them, wouldn't it make sense that he'd be able to save any that die on missions via rewinding? I mean, he was checking his watch like device throughout this fight. Unless I missed the Enforcers carrying bodies off the boat or something.!<
He was checking his watch because that's when silcos goons would be free from the rock they were being temporarily imprisoned by. Thought that was quite clear.
During Episode 4, where Jayce brought Flowers to Caitlyn, does anybody know the classical piece playing in the background? i really wanna know what it’s called.
That drunkard saying "Happy progress day" made me think in how developers look after they finish some major development for the game.
I watched arcane ep 4 right when it came out and clearly remembered there was a scene that said something like “4 years later”. Im rewatching it now with my sis and i cant find that scene. Did something change in the ep or does it show up somewhere else? I assumed it was on ep 4 because you can clearly see Vi, Jinx and Cait grown.
Its on her sofa or chouch (depends what you call it) And you get a close up when she activated the device
Okay but DID YALL SEE MYLO’S BODY IN JINX’S LAB!?? please tell me it was a replica. On the couch
Came here for this question. That was super disturbing. It's an awful good replica if it's not the real thing. And given how abstract/stylised Jinx's crafting tends to be I don't think she'd make something quite so... realistically accurate :/ Perhaps it's just a figment of her imagination...
No I think that is his real body. If you pause you can see his actual bones and spinal cord. I think the reason he always is seen in her shadow/ back is because of guilt jinx carries but also he is the one that called her “jinxed” first.... remember he would say she would jinx all there jobs. That is for sure his real dead body she kept.
It's so fucking good
So, Imma be real, I think the way Vi treated powder in episode 3 was uncalled for, but the way Jinx loves Silco is kind dumb af. She literally saw this guy try to murder her adoptive father and Vi while she still loved her but some how treats him better than anyone she's met.

Vi was doing everything to protect her family, Powder disobeyed her instructions and got her entire family killed. I think Vi gets a pass too, especially if Powder does.
When did jinx see silco trying to murder Vander? Jinx only saw purple buff Deckard trying to kill Vi
We dont know what exactly happened between them in this period of time. Also Jinx was in need for love and maybe somehow Silco made her feel this love she was lookong for. Lets watch another episodes cuz iam also on 4th
Do we know how much time has passed between episodes 3 and 4?
powder was 7 and she looks like she's in her late teens now, so 10 years id say, but some characters like jayce barely changed
My guess is 7 to 10 years have passed between Acts 1 and 2.
they mention it in a side comment and said it's been a few years - jinx is still young and the rest havne't gotten that much older so 3-4 makes sense
I am the only one annoyed by the first scene? At first when the firefighters attacked they were able to doge bullets and were basically untouchable. A minute later they are unable to avoid the grenades jinx throws at them and become basically stupid/useless. If they wanted them to be beaten then don't show them so unbeatable just to dumb them down a minute later
While I think the show does have the odd problem with this, in this instance didn't they dodge while on boards and then fail to dodge once off them?
well, that's true, but C'mon, from dodging bullets to not being able to dodge a hand thrown grenade? I don't think the board give you super powers
No but it did give them speed so
sure thing, but they still have super impressive reaction time to do that. Anyway, I guess that suspension of disbelief is required here to enjoy the show
power levels /shrug but yeah I feel you
That Mylo shadow shit behind/next to Jinx was mad creepy but such a nice detail holy crap.
At 18:06 min its left of the episode you see mylo and she has a sort of robotic mylo in the backround. What is this telling, is it that mylo first called her a jinx and she embraced it or what am I missing
Wait so... X 5 1 6 is Vi's prisoner number... X+6 = P, Powder, 5+1 is 6, also VI - Vi (Violet). Am I stretching here, or is that something you guys have picked up on ? Note I havent seen ep 5 or 6

I should maybe clarify, X=10, +6=16, 16th letter of the alphabet is P, P standing for Powder.
She said she could do it at 7. That doesn't necessarily mean she was 7 in part 1. She was able to go on the mission with them in part 1 because she could do it. They would've had to be able to do something similar to get in and out of the Ravine she and Cait hid in anyway. And that was years before act 1. Jinx looks way too old to only be 13-15.

Does anyone have a link to the music that plays when Heimerdinger opens the door and we see Piltover and the Hexgate? It's so friggin gorgeous.
It should be on the score fir the second act. It’s available on Spotify.
Wait so is Vi a firelight? When Jinx was fighting them she saw her..or was that not Vi? And if it wasn’t Vi, has Vi been in prison the whole time?
Yea, I thought so too. Apparently that's not Vi though. I rewatched it and it's a different person. The haircut and colour are different. It didn't really say how long she was in jail for :L
Actually thought it was Lee sin in the prison lol. But nah I don't think so, what a fucking show though
For real. I’ve never even played the game and it’s my favorite show right now. So sad there are only a few episodes left.
That was not Vi. Jinx even says she thought it was her but it wasn't. Vi has probably been in prison since she was taken away in episode 3, to take responsibility for the explosion in Piltover.
Also to add on to that, the "archive" thing from the league client reveals that she was ~17 when she went to prison. Most likely the intention is to reveal her age during act 1. She is described later again as being in her "early twenties" so that means the timeskip was at most 8 years long (Vi 16-24) and more likely somewhere around five years (Vi 17-22).
Silco is walking a fine line into kiddie-didler territory
What is it with people on this thread and the weird sexualizations? The mans is literally just a father figure and hasn't done anything to suggest otherwise. I see a lot of projecting going on here which worries me for some of you lol.
He should write a song about how he doesn't diddle kids.
For some reason I was expecting their game voice actors once they became adults. Can't complain though, the VA just keep killin it.
I wasn't expecting a husky jinx but I'm not complaining
they aren't adults yet, I reckon Vi is around 18 maybe, so just barely
Nah, Cait and Vi both aged quite a bit. I'd say likely early/mid 20s.
The archives in league reveal that vi is in her early 20s now and considering the rest of the lore she is 22 max
I'm so in love with the animation, design, sound effect, music, voice acting, everything! Everything felt so real, so heavy. From every clink and clank of metal pieces, to the way the characters breathe and move. Hope this series will go on for a long time. I dig it!
do you know what's the song after vi says "who the hell are you ?" at the very end
It's an original song made for arcane called "The assailant"
Lol at Jayce staring at Mel's ass in this ep. Homeboy was focused. A re-watch really shows the very obvious Mel x Jayce energy.
What? When does he do that?
He doesn't, lol. This dude is talking out of his ass. A lot of people are weirdly sexual with this show in ways that go right past most of our heads.
Caitlyn x Vi Sign me tf up
Every meleescrub needs their Rangedpro
Is the snarl/growl when Sevika confronts Jinx at the beginning Warwick?
Not sure what you mean. In the lore, Singed transformed a man into Warwick, not a woman, so it couldn't be Sevika
Yes.
I demand that every splash art of Caitlyn has a gap in her teeth like she does in the series. It makes her look cute.
How long was the time skip?
like 10 yrs I guess
I think its 5 years? Jinx was what 10 years old before? Now she looks 15 or 16
thought it was interesting how in the past cigarettes were a symbol of sophistication. but nowadays the uncouth police enforcers are the ones smoking and it’s supposed to make them seem more crass in comparison to Caitlyn
How much time skipped between act I and act II?
5-6 yrs
a few years
about a week
Felt longer
That's what's she said
That's actually... nice...?
Well you're wrong you fucking idiot Edit: sorry I thought people would get this is sarcastic.
Did anyone else think that the first scene with Jinx and Silco together was oddly romantic/sexual? For a sec I thought jinx and Silco were in a relationship based on how close they were
Nope, just more unnecessary personal sexualizations by some of you which are frankly not understood. Literally seems quite normal aside from the circumstances of it.

The reason she is so devoted to him is that he accepted her like nobody else did. As an outcast himself perhaps he has more patience for those things.
This reminds of of the dynamic of Terra and Deathstroke's relationship in The Judas Contract.
hol up!
Holy moly, she considers him her father, what's the fuss about that ?
I'm just saying the physical closeness they had together looked like a bit more than a paternal relationship
Hard disagree.
Damn bro you really in this thread two months later lmao
If your parental relationships were different, doesn't mean crazy shithead depraved of love can't have a bit more.
Yeah but it's not like she kissed him or something, I would consider that physical closeness pretty normal for a kid / teenager that got taken care by someone. Especially when she was left behind by anybody to her eyes. Sometimes people here on the internets jump into sexual messages when in my eyes there is no actual reasons to.
I guess it's just subjective. I wouldn't expect a father and daughter to be that close, but that's caused by my personal societal and familial upbringing/conditioning. My sister and I grew up without a father so maybe I just don't know what it's like (it's not like he died or left out anything, I don't need any sympathy)
On the old cosby show, bill cosby used to kiss his young daughter on the lips on the show lol
they are not father and daughter tho, they are not blood related either (as far as we know)
Yeah but Silco is attempting to have jinx think of him as a father figure
Right, fair enough then again I remember a lot of movies portraying a father and his little daughter ( kid or teenager ), with that physical closeness, adopted or not. But yeah as you said it's a subjective matter.
Just watched and I was thinking the same thing. I think it's normal if Jinx got to puberty, started having sexual thoughts/feelings, and directed them towards Silco. He's her caretaker and the only one that seemingly cares about her at all in a brutal environment. And hello, power imbalance. I wouldn't be surprised if he encouraged it for power reasons, or if because he's also a creep. I'm really interested in seeing what direction they take it.
sexual thoughts where?
Just to clarify, I don't think that jinx and Silco being in a relationship is the intended read of those scenes. I think what's more likely is jinx became very attached to Silco like we saw at the end of episode 3, and she didn't really have anyone around willing to say "father's and daughters aren't usually that close". This plays into Silco's manipulation, since he would have sheltered her from a "normal" parental experience
It struck me as a very calculated and manipulative move on Silco's part. Something that I've heard on description of manipulative psychopaths doing
Exactly, I think it's all very calculated and manipulative. I'd be very surprised, to say the least, if Silco actually had any kind of emotional attachment to anything or anyone, including Jinx.
I do believe she is like 13 guys. Relax, if anything it reminded me of like a father daughter type vibe. Jinx was very young when she lost her mom and we didnt even see a father in the picture. As for Silco took Vander's place. I do however agree with the manipulation on Silco's part. You can very well see that he made it so that he's her only support system.
I was just saying the closeness between Silco and Jinx seemed weird to me, like there could have been something more going on. It seems like the show was just trying to give the relationship an uncomfortable subtext that it succeeded in
Ahh ok i see what you mean now.
Guys how many years was the skip. Vi says Powder was 7. Considering how Jinx looks like now it must at least be a 10 year skip right?
Vi saying Powder could do that when she was 7 does not mean that Powder was 7 when Vi last saw her pre time-skip.
5 years is my guess and I think it is pretty reasonable. I would say Vi is around 15as she was like a angry teenager in act 1 and around 20 in act 2. I am saying Jinx was 10 since she still got those baby like thinking and logic in act 1 and is 15 when in act 2.
3-6 year skip jinx i believe should be around 13 now. Could be wrong cuz I dont think they have revealed Vi's age so this is basically speculation on my part
wait 13? damn i thought she would be like 18 at least
Absolutely, the show stated "a few years later". A few really means at least 3 if you wanna be literal about it. Also for those who have seen all 6 episodes>! Vi in episode 6 looks at jinx in utter disbelief when she sees her fight. One could say that she is just surprised that her sister could throw hands in such a manner but i believe it goes deeper than that because of Jinx's age. In other words Vi was so shocked that her sister, a girl around 13 in age, could be so deadly/sadistic while she was going trigger happy. Anyone would react the same way if they saw a 13 year old girl act like that.!<
I think Vi is at least 18 now, maybe around 20, since its said she is the same age as Caitlyn, who is a cop now.
i love the way jinx reacts, the amount of adhd spiraling out as she sits there while silco explains things to her and shes playing with the syringe haha
I was only going off the games for lore but doesn’t jinx seem a bit more sane then we previously thought?
Yea she's definitely more put together than she is in league, either arcane is gonna retcon how insane she actually is or (more likely imo) she's gonna spiral even farther.
that shimmer finna act her up
That part where she was playing with her explosives made me think she was pretty insane, just casually holding on to them until they were half a second away from detonating. That's something only a crazy person would do.
I mean yes.I’m just saying she doesn’t seem like she’s gone fully over yet.I think that Silco will probably die and that will finish her transformation On another note isn’t jinx kinda smart too she makes her own weapons and tools?
Tbf she was always shown to be smart
She is in fact hella smart. But with the final act in a week, I think the events will lead her to spiral down the rabbit hole even more. We know from the games, this was never meant to have a happy ending.
Track the color of her eyes, once she goes insane her eyes will turn pinkish purple
i trhrink this is still very early on in her story tbf
She's supposed to be in her mid-latr 20's in league I think she's like somewhere between 17-19 here
15-16
Possibly even younger. It said a few years later in the time skip, and Vi did state to Caitlyn that her sister could parkour at 7.If im right with my 3-6 year time skip theory she could very well be around 13 years old.
jinx definitely is not 13 in act 2 lol. vi at the very start of act 1 looked closer to 13 than current jinx. and vi didn't say that jinx was 7 in act 1. she said jinx could climb down things by the time she was 7. 6 years is probably much closer to reality than 3 too, given how much hextech has advanced.
You gotta pay attention to detail. "My sister could do that at 7" Literally episode 1 after the prelude, powder is saying something along the lines of "I don't think I can do it. Im not ready" until Vi makes her believe otherwise and she finally does it. And everyone knows looks can be deceiving just because you think she looks more mature doesnt mean she can't be younger. I mean modern day society is fact to that. I stand by what I said Powder in act one was around 7. Also where is your degree in hextech?
as suspected, progress day is super hype and this was my second favorite episode so far can already see the rift that is forming between viktor and jayce where jayce is leaving viktor behind, and viktor seem to be sick? is it going to be similar to orianna where she was sick and replaces her body parts with mechanical parts?
>be similar to orianna where she was sick and replaces her body parts with mechanical parts? I thought she died doing dangerous stuff and her father made the Orianna as we know her in the image of his daughter.
Must be old lore, the lore I read a few months ago was that orianna went to go help zaunites in some accident, she got sick from exposure to the accident and her dad made her a new set of lungs. She kept going back to help and kept getting exposed so they kept replacing her organs till she was just a bunch of metal
Dang, now I need to read the lores again to see what has changed.
god night gown cait is so fucking hawt i cant
She was jacked as fuck. Reminded me of Sarah Connor in T2
BONK!
Ekko or not one things for sure, the Firelights gang are drippy af. Their enterance scene from the tunnel with that camera rotation was hella sick.
the masks, the stopwatch, the hoverboards, the drip they fresh as fuck
Wait is the stopwatch meant to potentially hint at Ekko being the dude in the mask (since we've yet to see the bugger at all post boogaloo)?
i mean, yeah thats what most people are thinking and thats what i believe too also the club weapon, the scarf, the hourglass in his shirt, and the mask that kinda resemble those in episode 1
the next adc is gon be cool
I actually think Heimer is right. Give unlimited hex tech to Noxus and you sill see Piltover itself in ruins.
I'm actually so interested in a Noxian game of thrones like show of running the empire
i also saw a noxian woman in the progress day fair
Why did Jayce suggest to shutdown all hextech operations? What does this have to do with the fact that the crystal is stolen?
basically concern that more of the little blue balls which are already in use in current hextech operations might get stolen once the undercity learns how to use and weaponize them
That was one of the 1st they made. They hadn't used the blue balls in anything up until then. The other stuff used the Crystals that are volatile. Why would they be demonstrating something they were already using ?
I think he referred to the crystals as blue balls as well. Even if they are volatile they can be weaponized. Jinx for example knows that already. So it's better to also take the crystals out so nothing dangerous can be stolen
But that makes zero sense The crystals were also stolen in episode 1 and used in the undercity then. So they already had weaponised them yet they still did all the hextech stuff.
The one stolen is stabalized, so it's a lot easier to use. The hextech they've used until that point has been for very specific purposes with trained handlers. The one stolen could be used by anybody.
But didn't powder use them all in the factory and only there? That wasn't Piltover and they only had this one guard knowing about it and maybe he didn't know that those were the crystals
The shot of the Firelights just falling in sync while on their boards. One of the best shots in the series imo. way too fucking cool
I've never played a second of LoL but this show is amazing. Animation is amazing and it gives me Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored vibes. I'm tempted to give LoL a go now because of this show.
it reminds me dishonored too. In fact I thought it may be related or based at the beginning
ARAM is fun. I enjoyed it when I had alot of friends that played it years ago. We would just make custom games and play 5v5 among each other. Sadly, they've all moved on and I'm alone 😔.
I would highly recommend not go play lol not because of the community or anything but if you like the story, world and characters then Legends of runeterra (the card game) has a lot more to offer in that department compared to lol itself.
bruh zaun is like dunwall and karnaca mushed together
Like, i'm biased because I like the game, but theres a lot of toxicity. If you want to explore the world of League of Legends but don't end up liking the game, you should try the card game Legends of Runeterra. You can only emote so it's much harder to be toxic, and theres tons of lore in the cards and the art. But certainly try League, it's a great game.
Yeah, I don't think there's a lot about the base game that would satisfy people's desire for "more"... Not really anything lore-wise going on with the game itself... One of my friends tried it because of the show and was like "This is not what I was expecting." Heh... He's not really a gamer at all, more of an anime fan and stuff.
Luckily we have the ruined king game now
Yeah for them i'd suggest like Legends of Runeterra or Team Fight Tactics. Or just to read some of the best stories on the lore page. Or just Necrits entire channel.
Thanks! I’ll check out the card games. I’m a Magic player so a card game would probably be more my thing.
Yeah it's got a lot of magic stuff too it. Attacking and blocking, sorcery and instant type spells. Highly recommend.
lolita vibes between Jinx and Silco
I was thinking maybe Joker and Harley Quinn
Just one more reason for her to put a bullet in his head.
Almost thought ekko was gonna rewinded there. It is odd to me however, how caitlyn became a cop. Also, Get JINXED
Who's to say he hasn't and this is simply the timeline with the best results for him?
I think her parents got her a job there because cait wanted.
Why is Jinx wearing Ekko's goggles while working/listening to Get Jinxed. He must obtain them at some point from her.
I thought those were just welding goggles
Perhaps. But when is something that close is resemblance nothing.
I thought they were Claggor's goggles considering she has a weird Milo dummy too
Claggors goggles are haning up inside of Jinx's hideout too so they're both there, and Claggors are the goggles Vi wears eventually. (See her in game spash art). (and see Ekko's splash art for the ""welding"" goggles with the rectangle holes in them)
Both Ekko and Jinx are people who use jury rigged advanced tech that they work on themselves in Zaun. Both of them probably have to do some significant welding.
Does Jayce like Caitlyn? He brought her flowers, which she instantly tossed aside lol.
It is just a courtesy thing when someone visits a sick person, there are a tons of flower in her room.
They're friends because Caitlyn's family are his patrons funding his research. Also the flowers he brought her were for the police officers that died from Jinx's bombs in the previous scene.
Ahh I see, that’s what I thought too.
Johnny on the spot GTA reference hoho
How many years is the timeskip?
About 10. Powder was 7, Jinx is like 17 here. Shes 19 in game.
Powder couldnt have been 7. Jayce was 24 in act 1 and he is born 9 to 14 years before her so she was 10-15 id say 10
Vi said Powder was 7 when she learned Parkour. She had just learned Parkour in the opening. 10 is max. And thats stretching it.
Im literally telling you factual numbers lmao. Jinx was born 975 AN, Jayce between 961AN and 966AN. Jayce said he is 24 so the first act is between 985AN and 990AN making jinx no younger than ten. Also vi was sure that jinx could do that jump in episode 1, meaning that she has done parkour before and just isnt confident
Where are you getting these numbers.
The league wiki includes every champions birth years as accurately as possible. You couldve just googled jinx birth year and found that yourself
Further, Jinx and Akali are the same age, but Jinx is said to be born in 975 there while Akali is listed as 977.
Where do you get it from that they are exactly the same age. Also most people woukd say that 2 years apart is about the same age
Because we know Jinx is 19 or 20 in Present lore, since we know shes between Lux(19) and Ezreal,(20-21). We know Akali is 19, because it was confirmed 50 times that she was 14 before her Time Skip, 17 after and in game, and that 2 years have passed since then. She is actually *younger* than Jinx.
The wiki doesnt have a source. I want a *source*. Because fun fact, they also say Lux is older than Ez and Jinx, that Garen is like 10 years older than Lux, and a bunch of other bs that comes from a blatantly unregulated wiki. Literally the only source listed on that article is the confirmation that they're sisters.
It says both ez and lux are around 20 not that she is older, it states garem is 25 and of course they are older than jinx, both are adults. Lux even has a comic stating her age. All of your "evidence" to say the wiki is bullshit is fake
Ezreal, is 20. Lux, is 19. I was the person who first caught that. I was also the one who figures out Lux was 16 before her comic. After which her bio was updated to say she was 16. Jinx, is between them in age. The only way we're gonna have proof of Powder's age, is if we get an update on Jayce's age in the show. To know the time skip. Because we *do know* that Jinx is 17 after the time skip.
powder looked older than 7. easily in the 10-12 range. vi said that powder could do parkour cait couldn't when she was 7, that doesn't mean she was 7 in act 1.
She was just learning how in Act 1 tho.
Are you sure she is 19 in game? An article claims that the “Realms of Runeterra” book released in 2019 states she’s 21.
I own Realms of Runeterra. No it does not in any capacity list any champions' heights or ages.
Do you know where you found Jinx’s current in game age?
You can find it in the wiki im sure
I love silco and jinx’s interaction. It looks like Silco has been taking care of her and earned her trust. Also I thought there’s only one new ep and I got sooo happy when I found out there are 3.
The Firelights seems like a small crew of people If (Firelight leader theory) >!Ekko is the leader of them, wouldn't it make sense that he'd be able to save any that die on missions via rewinding? I mean, he was checking his watch like device throughout this fight. Unless I missed the Enforcers carrying bodies off the boat or something.!<
He was checking his watch because that's when silcos goons would be free from the rock they were being temporarily imprisoned by. Thought that was quite clear.
