@@veetree850I've been wondering if that last smile she does is for Vander. As she knows she's freeing him as well. Especially with that cut of him being obviously in pain. We've seen she's also protective of him when he's calm, but it's maybe a bit of a stretch I'm doing
League of Legends: Oh sorry let me fix thst. Don't worry play the games she's always happy! You just have an angry scarecrow and werewolf to remind her of her horrible past Arcane Fans: What? League of Legends: What?
I didn’t buy her wanting to sacrifice herself/protect Jynx in act 1. Definitely bought it in act 2. What a musical montage and giving a relationship time to breathe and develop can do.
Some Fans during act 1: Who is this girl? why doesn't she have character development??? Those Fans now in act 2: Why did you make me love her character?????
yea such a fantastic writing with a jobdesc of : "please abuse and torture powder/jinx until all her sanity forever gone" or " just bully powder/jinx and rob her of everything"
VANDER WAS CRYING, he had no control over himself but was aware. That is horrifying to imagine. I dont want to know what he was thinking while seeing Isha was basically sacrificing herself, especially when they had sweet moments over the little time they knew each other.
Yup. You can clearly see pain and fear in his eyes. He dont want that to happen. Maybe he even desperate to try to take control over the beast. Isha is 99% death for sure, but if you rewatch the very end, after the first explosion there was a second one and the time looks like freezed. I dunno. There is a 1% of chances that was because of Ekko.
god. the parallel's to powder's monkeybomb is INSANE. Isha's terror of watching her big sister in peril turns into "I can help them." at 1:45, and we get the heartwrenching montage of the two of them together, and her tears because SHE KNOWS she's going to die. she's walking towards her death with her eyes open and a smile on her face, with three of the hextech orbs (it's ALWAYS three!) and all for jinx. and jinx can only watch. GOD.
Yeah it a parallel and a inversion of powder trope, as @dlweiss commented in another video: Rather than impulsively deploying power she doesn’t understand, Isha knows exactly how the gun works, and she knows precisely what will happen when she overloads it and fires. And while Powder’s desire to help her family was tinged with a need to prove herself, Isha’s desire to help her new family just seems to be tinged with a desire to repay Jinx for all the kindness and good experiences she’s given (without ever asking for anything in return). That’s why Isha appears to be crying with joy while she does it: because she’s finally getting to say “thank you” to Jinx in a massive, meaningful way.
I also noticed when Jinx was with Isha, the pink of her eyes was very dim pink. But when Seviika tells Jinx about Isha being taken by enforcers, her eyes glow bright pink.
Was absolutely loving how they just piled on the coloured background "look at all the time we spent together" scenes like they really just wanted to make 100% sure we knew this child was about to get absolutely deleted from this plane of reality.
The fact that powder in the beginning killed everyone with hextech makes this scene even better showing Isha SAVING everyone with hextech this time around 🥺
Remember how Ambessa talked about strength to Cait? She mentioned sacrifice was the fourth component for it. Issha was definitely one of the strongest 😢
Ambessa was wrong tho. It's not sacrifice, it's love. Love is what pushes you beyond your limits and allow you to make the biggest sacrifices. Vi was ready to sacrifice her freedom because of her love for her family. Vander sacrificed his humanity because of his love for Vi. Silco sacrificed the work of his life because of his love for Jinx. Singed sacrificed all ethics because of his love for his daughter. Ambessa, sacrificed a relationship with her children because of her love for Mel. Jayce sacrificed his ideals because of his love for Viktor. Isha sacrificed her life because of her love for Jinx. It's love that pushes one to face their fear and be stronger, sacrifice is just the consequence of going past your limits. And you can't make those necessary sacrifices to surpass your limits if you don't have someone worth the sacrifice, because love bypass the instinct of self preservation. Ambessa make sacrifices because ironically she romanticize it. But sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice only bring loss.
It was ironic when she wept the tears of someones child in ACT 1 right? Disgusting warmongerers always leads to nothing but suffering, but without suffering they would not appreciate peace and the good within themselves. One does not exist without the other, both should exist and same as the Karmic Cycle. Consequences, cause and effect, karma is a bitch.
The way Isha's eyes fill with water just before the "poow" and smile. It's like all the good memories with Jinx crystalised right after seeing jinx scream for her "not to do it". But in her eyes she's saying "you're the exact person worth doing this for". Like her own, "always with you Sis". Absolutely bawling here even on rewatch. 😭 Beautiful work Riot. 😢
@@sparks2lit and that was months ago in the show. the point was things changed and they still love each other. vi was never going to kill jinx herself.
Jayce fr has a bodycount of: 2 Children 1 Guy literally trying to cure everyone Maybe the Hexcore You could say he has a 250 gold shutdown at this point.
@@toxicthereporter515 tbf Viktor prolly evolved into an Ultron-like villain in the future given his in-game portrayal where he expresses how much he wants to turn everyone into machines, so Jayce might have been trying to prevent it somehow
I thought of that too when she did it. Almost like back then Jinx was saying you could die at any moment so live life to the fullest and it seems Isha took it to heart and actually seized her fate in her own hands. I think maybe when she closes her eyes before the blast she gets that “buzzing sensation” and then pulls the trigger.
In this episode when vi leaves her gauntlets she forgets the hextec orb and in the next scene you can see the girl saving something in her pocket. In that moment i thought "Oh no, no way they are doing that again". Wasnt wrong and still this scene destroyed me with the music and 2d animation of her jumping with jinx and turning her hair blue.
@@IamDoomii When i saw her interaction with jinx playing and chaning her hair color i was quite sure some drama was around the corner. I didnt want to believe they would kill the girl, but kinda expected it.
FUCK PATCH 14:22 MAN STUPIDEST PATCH DROP EVER. RIGHT? CLEARLY I'M TRYING TO HUMOR MYSELF AND NOT THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still believe Isha is a representation of Ziggs in some way, the same goggles and the metalic hat.. Ziggs is chaotic but is very naive too. It Is possible that in the future his characteristics will remind Jinx of Isha, i think that's why she adores him in lore.
that look on Jinx's face when she sees Isha running past her.... its like history repeating itself, she knows it, just like Powder back then eager to prove herself and save everyone, if only she could save her 😢
Jinx will go scorched earth now that she lost vander again and isha. They're the ones keeping Powder afloat but now she will dive down to that insanity again
@@Kizom820 the thing is Caitlyn and Ambessa followed Vander and was about to rile things up even without Jayce killing Viktor; Vi having ties with Caitlyn a Piltover and murder her mother will be a climax of the ending of the Ambessa Noxus Arc. Losing Isha really struck all the legs of Powder her one whole spark of joy ever since the tragedy Jinx explosion. And she started to like a Joker. Jinx will be a menace to all of Piltover for having Ambessa which initiated Isha's death
@@jiro9888 It makes no sense, he would have no reason to attack Piltover. He will surely train with Piltover together with Vi to win the war against Noxus
@@patheticyoungboyspodcast7386 so jinx when you look at it shes the hero of zaun for most people there and too isha shes always the hero since jinx only ever saved her since there meeting so to isha jinx is the hero because she only ever protected her since there meeting
The fact that Vi is still alive, immediately proves her little theory wrong. But she's so hard on herself so Isha's death will be rough to say the least. 😢
@@jeaniebeanie6 Vi is basically dead to Jinx though. Remember when Powder killed everyone trying to save Vander (except for Violet), then Violet screamed at Powder calling her a jinx - in that moment the sister she knew died, "She is not my sister anymore". Vi may not be physically dead, but in Jinx's mind her sister is gone and they can never go back.
@@jeaniebeanie6she said ‘gets close’ not ‘is close from the moment I can remember’. Eshi(?) came into her life after she tried to nuke the entire government. Little differen, is it not?
The fact that Vi holds her back and protects her from seeing the actual end gets me. She knows this death will mess her up and I have small tiny hope that this brings them together again…but knowing Arcane, probably not.
I have hopes for that too. Like, they gave us a whole family again...the two remaining ones can't just separate again...right? Cuz the last time they tried to deal with it alone, nothing was ever the same so it's like a do-over, ...r-right?
@@laurenalexander1293 Vi was protecting her from what she thought was an impending explosion. I don't think she was particularly concerned about Jinx actually seeing Isha die.
@@andwhatifI... if they're still following the game's lore albeit having a different lore. The game lore is the present of Arcane. There Vi and Jinx are like Batman and Joker. They hate and care each other at the same time.
Whatever the reason, Vi went back to protect her sister even when Caitlyn was helping her retreat because of her wound, whether to shield her from the blast or from watching Isha die. Both are equally valid, but the important thing is that Vi went back for Jinx.
The art style, the music, the setup to the blast, the pew reference Isha does back at Jinx. I was wondering if Season 2 would have a moment that got me. So far this was it so far. Just kinda sat there after the ep finished thinking: "wow". Arcane really is the best animated series. We're lucky to still have competent writers still in the world. Perfect cinema this show really is.
Dude, if we take away the deaths of her biological parents. Almost all the deaths of her family and friends was due hextech. I think only silco didn’t die due hextech. Hextech truly was the leading cause of the tragedies that unfolded.
Isha was by far the best addition to Arcane season 2. A character who, despite being completely mute and having limited screen time, not only captured our hearts, but Jinx’s as well. Heart broken she’s gone, but damn did she go out like a badass.
@@mcrain1283Vander was gettint closer to Jinx and she knew Jinx wasn't able to kill him. And that he also is an unstoppable beast that would end killing Jinx.
I already knew this character was gonna die, written all over her face.

Am I the only one who noticed how brilliant the animators' work was? The final frame, when everything goes dark, and only the lights burned into the retina remain! A genius solution, I've never seen such an effect in a film before!
"Ever since you came into my life kid, it's like I put on glasses. Only I can't tell if it's clear or blurry" To Isha her life was clear at that moment 😢😢
1:09 she jumps with her. She jumps with Isha because as a kid, she had to follow after her older siblings. As a kid, she was always too little and just bit behind. Even if Vi had faith that she could make the jump, that wasn't what it was about for Jinx. Isha couldn't make the jump before. She jumps with her because the distance isn't what was important. It was who she was landing with that mattered. She jumps with Isha then, so Isha can jump in alone for herself now.
It's great how at 1:53 a barely walking Vi notices Jinx running to Isha and Vander, understands what is going on, instantly heals and in like two seconds blocks Jinx and even shields her from the explosion. That's a great big sister right there.
@seezar100 It's believed by some, myself included, that Chross' men may have been trying to forcibly recruit the children of Zaun for his own intelligence network or just working for the factories he owns, hence the montage of children being attacked by Chross' men in the "Sucker" music video. So it's possible they were trying to capture her to be forced labor. But it is entirely plausible those men were just chasing her to kill her for one reason or another.
Her in the bathtub covering her eyes to not see in such an childish innocent way got me. First her crying running confirming what was about to happen for the first punch and then that.
Yes, how? Because honestly I have no why people are so invested in Isha. She literally is dropped into the story out of nowhere, and we don't learn anything about her. Her relationship with Jinx is barely established to us viewers. When Isha rushes to save Jinx, she's like "get off me you annoying little thing". Next episode suddenly they're as close as sisters? And that"s about all that happens in terms of interaction with her (that and painting her hair blue). Seems like people are just all over her because she's small and cute? I mean, I see the hundreds / thousands of upvotes on people's post being emotional over this scene. Isha didn't do anything to me. Vander on the other hand, man. Vander, we knew. We knew hwo protective he was of the kids. We knew he only had their best interests in mind because he proved it over and over again. By words, by action, by sacrifice. And we witnessed it all. We spend enough time with Vander, Vi and Powder that we knew them well anough to care about them. And after all this: Vander's mind being imprisoned in this beast body, not being able to help himself from his bloodlust, now THAT is tragic. Random kid we barely knew blows herself up? Ok, I guess.
@@Nightflash28 that's bc jinx was completely alone, she lost all of her family many times in tragic ways, no one wanted to be near her because she always ruins it all, all except that little girl she saved and she reminded her of her innocent childhood that's why she was so important to her
@@Nightflash28 geez, I guess you're not a fan of show not tell? We don't need more episodes of Isha establishing her importance in the show. Did you forget there was an implied time skip that happened months or even a year after Caitlyn became commander? That means Isha and Jinx have been together longer and the series shows us this through Jinx's dialogue and interaction. Is the fact that her death could mean another spiral for Jinx not tragic enough? How tragedy keeps following Jinx and yet Isha is a parallel to Powder, showing how upbringing could change fates? It's not even /just her death. Her face, her eyes, how the animators are so good at showing her little feeble mannerisms and emotions. The fear in her eyes but the strength in her steps. If you're not as empathetic as other people, you could just say so.
@@ren8854 Oh geez, yeah, I guess I am just not such a big fan of the show, having watched the first season like 20 times, having waited anxiously for three years for this season to drop and having played LoL for years. And look, what you just wrote is pretty much what I stated above: Most of their relationship happens off-screen in a time gap, which we as an audience do not get to see an experience. We should care for Isha mostly because of how she looks (small, cute, innocent). And the tragedy is not really about Isha dying, it's about what it most likely will do to Jinx. But that was my point. Isha feels less like a fleshed out character that we got to understand and deeply care for than a plot device for Jinx to spiral. After 3 episodes, how much did we know about Powder and Vi compared to Isha and Jinx? And if you say, well that's not a fair comparison because there is so much more going on in season 2 and so many more threads to follow, well, than you caught up to the issue. We just did not have enough time with Isha to truly be invested in her. I still love the show, and I still think the story they're telling is amazing, but the writing is not as strong as it was in season 1 because it is spread too thin. I know they want to wrap it up, but with the speed they're moving, they could have given us more episodes or maybe even split it into three seasons.
One of the most beautifully tragic scenes of all time. Absolutely flawless - from the camera work and editing to the perfectly calibrated emotional performances. Shameless cried my eyes out 😭
*Song [这样很好] translation:* _Child, do not be afraid of the thorns_ _With your barefoot, you can find the essence of the world._ _You see, the sky is turning grey_ _How stunning the fireworks were_ _We are all slaves of nature, blossomed and withered,_ _yet, even stubborn rocks and boulders bloom with flowers._ _Push aside the mountains, let her see me_ _Tell those stars to shine on me faster_ _Blow away the dark clouds with that blue in my heart_ _Even if the world is full of desolation_ _we can lift our heads up and gaze at the moon._ _When we are still in the guise of children_ _As one among millions, still must we blossom into solitary and splendid flowers_ _Do not wander troubled any longer._ _Do not forget,_ _even as tears flow, keep running forward_ _Run until even time cannot be found_ _Be a bird, flying carefree._ _Push aside the mountains, let her see me_ _Tell those stars to shine on me faster_ _Blow away the dark clouds with that blue in my heart_ _Even if the world is full of desolation_ _we can lift our heads up and gaze at the moon._ _When we are still in the guise of children_ _As one among millions, still must we blossom into solitary and splendid flowers_ _Do not wander troubled any longer._ _Do not forget,_ _even if the tears flow, keep running forward_ _Run until even time cannot be found_ _Be a bird, flying carefree_ _Stop searching_ _Give me an embrace_ _Just quietly forget_ _I'm fine the way I am._
I audibly GASPED when I realized what Isha was ready to do. Seeing how they depict her, it was clear that her whole life had been in pain. Jynx freed her, giving her a dose of joy and true childhood, even if for a little while. Isha cared about jynx and wanted to help her save her father, but seeing Vander in so much pain, she knew she needed to do something to end it all and save Jynx. That little smile she gave before pulling the trigger was incredibly heartwrenching.
it was also because Isha spent all her time copying Jinx cause that's what you do when you hero worship someone right, so in EP4 Isha saw Jinx fearlessly fighting warwick so Sevica could save Isha n run. Now Isha's doing the same thing back for Jinx.
Im a professional tv editor and I was totally blown away about how good this scene is with the visuals, the sfx and the incredible beautiful music. So many things going on in that scene. The short flashback scenes are amazing too and it all fits so beautifully well together. Goosebumps! I’ve seen this scene 10x in a row now and i don’t get tired of it at all. Well done to the crew behind this, - you guys are incredible talented and I look forward to more from you❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼
Y’all spewing all this blame on Jayce. As if he knew what would happen if he blasted viktor. Additionally, we don’t know what Jayce saw or had to go through during his time in the hexvoid. Maybe he had a purpose, we won’t know until act 3. Why is no one putting the blame on Singed for creating this Warwick or for Viktor leaving Jayce’s side to chase after his glorious evolution dream which was clearly against the laws of Arcane.
You’re goddamn right. Killing the Jinx (symbolically) and Victor it should be the end of season 2. We could get the story of the Caitlyn mission and zone pacification plot. But the producers decided to cut the story. So sad :/
I literally confused myself while watching this part of the show. “did i change my dub to chinese?” I event checked multiple times and even restarted netflix only to realise it was indeed in chinese. Then after ending episode 6, I realised this song suited this scene the best. Isha was the only character who couldn’t speak and this song being in a different language hit the nail in the coffin. big thanks to this channel, I can now torture myself multiple times a day rewatching this deadly scene and cry to myself alone
@@drghdfbf Speaking of China, I learned recently that Arcane S2 in China was censored to edit out the Vi x Caitlyn kiss (???) Am yet to find out what they did for Caitlyn in bed with Maddie
As a Chinese person, this scene by itself is already emotional enough, but having a devastating song I can understand in my mother tongue? That shit got to me.
@@yardmsever3757stop spreading false hope😭😭😭 Ekko wont save them. Grow up. Its Arcane, not the Star wars sequels. If someone dies, there are consequences. Vander died, he got a body transplant. Silco dies, he stays dead. Isha will stay dead too sadly😭
@@yardmsever3757 i want to believe in that, bcs i have cried alot seeing her sacrifice, but i dont want to believe her and vander died, that paused frame need to be ekko returning from the arcane, to save everyone, please riot, tell me this is not the end for our little child, lets pray for that 😓😓
@@yardmsever3757 Honestly, i feel likey they'll go partway with this. Ekko saves the cast and drags them away from the hexblast / Warwick, but he cannot save Isha. That then Leads to Jinx going all the way, either off the rails, or into heroism.
Best Scene in Arcane?? I mean from victors monologue, to the flashbacks of isha and jinx bonding to the epic music. The emotion poured into this scene is so overwhelming that you cant help but be on the verge of tears.
Before this act I wasn’t sure anything could beat the ends of episode 3 and 9 of season 1, but this scene is absolutely up there with those, it’s incredible
@@JickAudio Sorry guys she is for sure dead. Ekko going back in time will be probably be used to save some main character in the last arc. Sadly she has to die for the jinx plot and is a secondary character that served her purpose of making us feel like shit and cry appart of bringing back powder to completely destroy her mentally.
@@yardmsever3757The entire point of the scene is that we desperately want Isha not to die. If they just magically plot hole her back to life, then her sacrifice means nothing. This show is too good at meticulously pulling at our heart strings to not understand this. For the scene to remain powerful and meaningful, Isha has to stay dead.
@@roseblossom166 Do not get me wrong. Season 1 was absolut perfect. This Season is waaaay more of a business than a show. Retconing Singed to be the father of Orianna (just for a fan service) Making Mel someone's sister in the Black Rose (I REALLY hope it is not LeBlanc because that would be just straight up shitshow and Bullshit) Using Isha as a last stand of Jinx's mentality but literally for no other reason The 250$ Jinx Gacha skin - Ofc you do that, Jinx is the most popular character of the show The upcoming Novel of Ambessa and making her a champion The Arcane themed skins, TFT and ARAM Jinx fixes everything While the story is more than good, half of the Season 2 feels like it is purely made for hooking old and new players while making whales pay. I loved Arcane S1 more than most of the people and I'm so sad that it feels like we are getting this.
And the fact that Singed is insistent about extending life past it’s limits and is working with Ambessa means that Vander will because a killing machine for Noxus. Rebranding him as “Warwick”
Until she's in the video games Literally i think jinx in this TV show has been more upset then god knows how many years League of Legends has existed Like what since the 90s? So Jinx has been more upset in this show then 20 to 30 plus years of League of Legends
@eryvac0074 sorry I know LoL has been in comic con conventions for as long as I went to them and idk I want to say thsfs around fifteen sixteen years ago somewhere in thst time frame Point is I know LoL has been around for a very long time since I went to comic con conventions
The way Vi is struggling to even walk on her own until she sees Jinx is about to run into danger. Then suddenly she's got the strength to hold her back AND body-block her from the blast. GodDAMN I love this show.
The look on jinxs face when isha loaded the second hexgem into the gun is so sad because jinx knows what’ll happen. Isha loaded three hexgems into the gun like how powder loaded three into her monkey bomb, this CANNOT be a coincidence
Oh my God I totally forgot that this was a flashback to season 1. That’s actually so sad because Jinx saw Powder in Isha and now she has to watch her make the same mistake she did, except this time she’s saving them. She can’t outrun her past :( oml
She's not even a jinx when she was with isha, she became someone else, thats why she's hiding herself in her secret basecamp for 1 year because she doesn't want isha to get in trouble because of her
1:19 in this scene Jinx is has a pink spray can and Isha has a blue spray can-think Jinx’s can indicates Jinx and blue powder obviously but it could mean that Isha’s blue spray can (powder) could be trying to catch up with the pink spray can (Jinx) and trying to surpass Jinx and become Powder again.
@@horizonpenblade1288 Yes, it also came to my mind, Jinx is being the big sister that she never ''had'' on her childhood, the ironic thing is that a Powder 2 got pulled off.

god. the parallel's to powder's monkeybomb is INSANE. Isha's terror of watching her big sister in peril turns into "I can help them." at 1:45, and we get the heartwrenching montage of the two of them together, and her tears because SHE KNOWS she's going to die. she's walking towards her death with her eyes open and a smile on her face, with three of the hextech orbs (it's ALWAYS three!) and all for jinx. and jinx can only watch. GOD.
Godddd your right, that make it so much painful
Yeah it a parallel and a inversion of powder trope, as @dlweiss commented in another video:
Rather than impulsively deploying power she doesn’t understand, Isha knows exactly how the gun works, and she knows precisely what will happen when she overloads it and fires. And while Powder’s desire to help her family was tinged with a need to prove herself, Isha’s desire to help her new family just seems to be tinged with a desire to repay Jinx for all the kindness and good experiences she’s given (without ever asking for anything in return). That’s why Isha appears to be crying with joy while she does it: because she’s finally getting to say “thank you” to Jinx in a massive, meaningful way.

Remember how Ambessa talked about strength to Cait? She mentioned sacrifice was the fourth component for it. Issha was definitely one of the strongest 😢
STOPPPPP YOUR MAKING MY CRY
Ambessa was wrong tho. It's not sacrifice, it's love. Love is what pushes you beyond your limits and allow you to make the biggest sacrifices.
Vi was ready to sacrifice her freedom because of her love for her family.
Vander sacrificed his humanity because of his love for Vi.
Silco sacrificed the work of his life because of his love for Jinx.
Singed sacrificed all ethics because of his love for his daughter.
Ambessa, sacrificed a relationship with her children because of her love for Mel.
Jayce sacrificed his ideals because of his love for Viktor.
Isha sacrificed her life because of her love for Jinx.
It's love that pushes one to face their fear and be stronger, sacrifice is just the consequence of going past your limits. And you can't make those necessary sacrifices to surpass your limits if you don't have someone worth the sacrifice, because love bypass the instinct of self preservation.
Ambessa make sacrifices because ironically she romanticize it. But sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice only bring loss.
@@keerya4179 you Just made me cry with this😭, really good speculation

Jinx became a hero because she tried to save vander correct?
No, she always thought of jinx as a hero, albeit a broken one. She saved her, which is what made her wanna be like her.
What? Isha never wanted to be a villian. She always saw Jinx as a hero. Her first interaction with a Jinx was of Jinx protecting her.

"Everyone who get close to me dies"

The fact that Vi is still alive, immediately proves her little theory wrong. But she's so hard on herself so Isha's death will be rough to say the least. 😢

@@jeaniebeanie6 Vi is basically dead to Jinx though. Remember when Powder killed everyone trying to save Vander (except for Violet), then Violet screamed at Powder calling her a jinx - in that moment the sister she knew died, "She is not my sister anymore".
Vi may not be physically dead, but in Jinx's mind her sister is gone and they can never go back.

Just give them every award. Every single award.
Best Animated Show? No... this belongs in the Best Drama category. And it should win. It puts live action shows to shame.
The fact that Vi holds her back and protects her from seeing the actual end gets me. She knows this death will mess her up and I have small tiny hope that this brings them together again…but knowing Arcane, probably not.
I have hopes for that too. Like, they gave us a whole family again...the two remaining ones can't just separate again...right? Cuz the last time they tried to deal with it alone, nothing was ever the same so it's like a do-over, ...r-right?
@@laurenalexander1293
Vi was protecting her from what she thought was an impending explosion. I don't think she was particularly concerned about Jinx actually seeing Isha die.
@@andwhatifI... if they're still following the game's lore albeit having a different lore.
The game lore is the present of Arcane. There Vi and Jinx are like Batman and Joker. They hate and care each other at the same time.
I think Vi was trying to shield Jinx from the blast, not protect her from seeing Isha getting blown up. That sounds more logical
Whatever the reason, Vi went back to protect her sister even when Caitlyn was helping her retreat because of her wound, whether to shield her from the blast or from watching Isha die. Both are equally valid, but the important thing is that Vi went back for Jinx.
The art style, the music, the setup to the blast, the pew reference Isha does back at Jinx. I was wondering if Season 2 would have a moment that got me. So far this was it so far. Just kinda sat there after the ep finished thinking: "wow". Arcane really is the best animated series. We're lucky to still have competent writers still in the world. Perfect cinema this show really is.
And again, Jinx loses a father and a sister in a single hextech explosion.
Dude, if we take away the deaths of her biological parents. Almost all the deaths of her family and friends was due hextech. I think only silco didn’t die due hextech. Hextech truly was the leading cause of the tragedies that unfolded.
1:04 for a fleeting moment, you can see Isha crying. She fully understands what she's doing. A big fat hero.
Isha was by far the best addition to Arcane season 2. A character who, despite being completely mute and having limited screen time, not only captured our hearts, but Jinx’s as well. Heart broken she’s gone, but damn did she go out like a badass.

Even if Vi had faith that she could make the jump, that wasn't what it was about for Jinx. Isha couldn't make the jump before. She jumps with her because the distance isn't what was important. It was who she was landing with that mattered. She jumps with Isha then, so Isha can jump in alone for herself now.

? she killed herself and Jinx's foster father. Yeah Jinx will be very happy for that, what a nice payback by her. Isha is fucking annoying
I'm not sure if she could have lived if she never came across Jinx, she was being chased by goons and was about to get caught by them.
@seezar100 It's believed by some, myself included, that Chross' men may have been trying to forcibly recruit the children of Zaun for his own intelligence network or just working for the factories he owns, hence the montage of children being attacked by Chross' men in the "Sucker" music video. So it's possible they were trying to capture her to be forced labor.
But it is entirely plausible those men were just chasing her to kill her for one reason or another.
The flashback scenes is what gets me.
They were so much more colorful through her eyes 😢
Same here 😢
Her in the bathtub covering her eyes to not see in such an childish innocent way got me. First her crying running confirming what was about to happen for the first punch and then that.

@@darktemplar8140 Only Tassadar can save us at this point
how the fuck can they create a character from a week ago and made me cry for her the next week
Yes, how? Because honestly I have no why people are so invested in Isha. She literally is dropped into the story out of nowhere, and we don't learn anything about her. Her relationship with Jinx is barely established to us viewers. When Isha rushes to save Jinx, she's like "get off me you annoying little thing". Next episode suddenly they're as close as sisters? And that"s about all that happens in terms of interaction with her (that and painting her hair blue). Seems like people are just all over her because she's small and cute?
I mean, I see the hundreds / thousands of upvotes on people's post being emotional over this scene. Isha didn't do anything to me.
Vander on the other hand, man. Vander, we knew. We knew hwo protective he was of the kids. We knew he only had their best interests in mind because he proved it over and over again. By words, by action, by sacrifice. And we witnessed it all. We spend enough time with Vander, Vi and Powder that we knew them well anough to care about them. And after all this: Vander's mind being imprisoned in this beast body, not being able to help himself from his bloodlust, now THAT is tragic.
Random kid we barely knew blows herself up? Ok, I guess.
@@Nightflash28 that's bc jinx was completely alone, she lost all of her family many times in tragic ways, no one wanted to be near her because she always ruins it all, all except that little girl she saved and she reminded her of her innocent childhood that's why she was so important to her
@@Nightflash28 i completely agree
@@Nightflash28 geez, I guess you're not a fan of show not tell? We don't need more episodes of Isha establishing her importance in the show. Did you forget there was an implied time skip that happened months or even a year after Caitlyn became commander? That means Isha and Jinx have been together longer and the series shows us this through Jinx's dialogue and interaction. Is the fact that her death could mean another spiral for Jinx not tragic enough? How tragedy keeps following Jinx and yet Isha is a parallel to Powder, showing how upbringing could change fates? It's not even /just her death. Her face, her eyes, how the animators are so good at showing her little feeble mannerisms and emotions. The fear in her eyes but the strength in her steps. If you're not as empathetic as other people, you could just say so.
@@ren8854 Oh geez, yeah, I guess I am just not such a big fan of the show, having watched the first season like 20 times, having waited anxiously for three years for this season to drop and having played LoL for years. And look, what you just wrote is pretty much what I stated above: Most of their relationship happens off-screen in a time gap, which we as an audience do not get to see an experience. We should care for Isha mostly because of how she looks (small, cute, innocent). And the tragedy is not really about Isha dying, it's about what it most likely will do to Jinx. But that was my point. Isha feels less like a fleshed out character that we got to understand and deeply care for than a plot device for Jinx to spiral. After 3 episodes, how much did we know about Powder and Vi compared to Isha and Jinx? And if you say, well that's not a fair comparison because there is so much more going on in season 2 and so many more threads to follow, well, than you caught up to the issue. We just did not have enough time with Isha to truly be invested in her.
I still love the show, and I still think the story they're telling is amazing, but the writing is not as strong as it was in season 1 because it is spread too thin. I know they want to wrap it up, but with the speed they're moving, they could have given us more episodes or maybe even split it into three seasons.
One of the most beautifully tragic scenes of all time. Absolutely flawless - from the camera work and editing to the perfectly calibrated emotional performances. Shameless cried my eyes out 😭

I audibly GASPED when I realized what Isha was ready to do.
Seeing how they depict her, it was clear that her whole life had been in pain. Jynx freed her, giving her a dose of joy and true childhood, even if for a little while.
Isha cared about jynx and wanted to help her save her father, but seeing Vander in so much pain, she knew she needed to do something to end it all and save Jynx.
That little smile she gave before pulling the trigger was incredibly heartwrenching.
it was also because Isha spent all her time copying Jinx cause that's what you do when you hero worship someone right, so in EP4 Isha saw Jinx fearlessly fighting warwick so Sevica could save Isha n run. Now Isha's doing the same thing back for Jinx.

You’re goddamn right. Killing the Jinx (symbolically) and Victor it should be the end of season 2.
We could get the story of the Caitlyn mission and zone pacification plot. But the producers decided to cut the story. So sad :/
I literally confused myself while watching this part of the show. “did i change my dub to chinese?” I event checked multiple times and even restarted netflix only to realise it was indeed in chinese. Then after ending episode 6, I realised this song suited this scene the best. Isha was the only character who couldn’t speak and this song being in a different language hit the nail in the coffin. big thanks to this channel, I can now torture myself multiple times a day rewatching this deadly scene and cry to myself alone
i really don't understand why americans can't fathom foreigner music in tv shows
@@CamillaBotIm malaysian bro 🤣 just stating my observation from the entire series
Good take!
I was confused too until I realized LOL 100% belongs to China (I never play it)
@@drghdfbf Speaking of China, I learned recently that Arcane S2 in China was censored to edit out the Vi x Caitlyn kiss (???)
Am yet to find out what they did for Caitlyn in bed with Maddie
i just weeped like a little boy as 35 year old,i didn't cried for so long.
It’s okay boy…. We know how the feeling is
Why? The girl was annoying
@@tristanward9937 how
@@tristanward9937obvious rage bait
Last time was Silco death i guess 😅
I swear, if some theories i heard are gonna be true and Ekko actually stops time and saves Isha and Vander, he's gonna be my next Favorite Character
Unfortunately, judging by the Act III trailer, Jinx is pretty much dead inside :( which means they probably couldn't save Isha
@@CattyLoveKittenLoveSo I guess I have to get back to hating Jayce
Ekko's device can only go back a couple seconds and his main theme is that you cannot change some things so I doubt that.
This show knows how to create drama and that would completely ruin this scene, she is done.
Eso no va a pasar Víctor y Warwick son rescatados por singed están vivos y istar si muere
“Viewer, did I just catch you having fun?!” -Arcane writers
I'm 49, I've never cried as hard or been so emotionally immersed into an animation than this before... Mind blowing production!!
Splendid animation which could touch all ages of people!😊

As a Chinese person, this scene by itself is already emotional enough, but having a devastating song I can understand in my mother tongue? That shit got to me.
i wish i was chinese
whats the song name?

Goodbye, little one.
Explosion in the end paused.Ekko probably saved them.
@@yardmsever3757stop spreading false hope😭😭😭
Ekko wont save them. Grow up. Its Arcane, not the Star wars sequels. If someone dies, there are consequences. Vander died, he got a body transplant. Silco dies, he stays dead. Isha will stay dead too sadly😭
@@yardmsever3757 i want to believe in that, bcs i have cried alot seeing her sacrifice, but i dont want to believe her and vander died, that paused frame need to be ekko returning from the arcane, to save everyone, please riot, tell me this is not the end for our little child, lets pray for that 😓😓
@@IAmTheSenate218 You have been conditioned to think that by the writers, now is the perfect time to subvert that.
@@yardmsever3757 Honestly, i feel likey they'll go partway with this.
Ekko saves the cast and drags them away from the hexblast / Warwick, but he cannot save Isha.
That then Leads to Jinx going all the way, either off the rails, or into heroism.
This moment mentally and emotionally broke me. Best episode in Arcane.
Best Scene in Arcane?? I mean from victors monologue, to the flashbacks of isha and jinx bonding to the epic music. The emotion poured into this scene is so overwhelming that you cant help but be on the verge of tears.
Before this act I wasn’t sure anything could beat the ends of episode 3 and 9 of season 1, but this scene is absolutely up there with those, it’s incredible
This is the true death of Powder.
The explosion in the end paused.Ekko probably saved them.
AHHHHHUUUUU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM CRYIG
@@yardmsever3757 his scene in the opening…he’s the ONLY one avoiding the line of fate
@@JickAudio Sorry guys she is for sure dead. Ekko going back in time will be probably be used to save some main character in the last arc.
Sadly she has to die for the jinx plot and is a secondary character that served her purpose of making us feel like shit and cry appart of bringing back powder to completely destroy her mentally.
@@yardmsever3757The entire point of the scene is that we desperately want Isha not to die. If they just magically plot hole her back to life, then her sacrifice means nothing. This show is too good at meticulously pulling at our heart strings to not understand this. For the scene to remain powerful and meaningful, Isha has to stay dead.
This show has been peak writing, something extremely rare these days.
It’s sad but really good writing
Which part? The fanservice, the useless plot-device Isha or the LoL Lore retcon?
@@mischievous6705LoL was bad anyway. Arcane is literally bringing life back into Riot. Keep hating.
@@roseblossom166 Do not get me wrong. Season 1 was absolut perfect. This Season is waaaay more of a business than a show.
Retconing Singed to be the father of Orianna (just for a fan service)
Making Mel someone's sister in the Black Rose (I REALLY hope it is not LeBlanc because that would be just straight up shitshow and Bullshit)
Using Isha as a last stand of Jinx's mentality but literally for no other reason
The 250$ Jinx Gacha skin - Ofc you do that, Jinx is the most popular character of the show
The upcoming Novel of Ambessa and making her a champion
The Arcane themed skins, TFT and ARAM
Jinx fixes everything
While the story is more than good, half of the Season 2 feels like it is purely made for hooking old and new players while making whales pay.
I loved Arcane S1 more than most of the people and I'm so sad that it feels like we are getting this.
i think u got the message more than the plot
This was definitely the highlight of Arcane Season 2.
Guess this is one way to have Warwick's face blown off so he can come back with his wolf like appearance
Кстати у Синджеда голова Волка лежит в Лаборатории 😢
And the fact that Singed is insistent about extending life past it’s limits and is working with Ambessa means that Vander will because a killing machine for Noxus.
Rebranding him as “Warwick”
@@veeya9188Warwick can't be controlled, that's sort of the whole thing with him. Hence the "Uncaged Wrath of Zaun."
@ApexGale
True but I still think she's going to try because she has that god complex controlling everything
@@ApexGale Exactly! It’ll likely be temporary before Warwick fights against his artificial instincts to protect Zaun.
Nah, this broke me😢😢 …EKKO (who knows where tf he is) comes back just in time, rewinds, and saves the day. Right? Right?! 😭😭
Good idea. but its gonna happen right? Right? Right? 😭
The freezeframe/stasis at the end gives me hope, but man they know how to mess with our emotions 🥺
Delusion is always the solution.
i think ekko is in the place where he will get his ult
He sure as heck can be useful if he can come out of whatever weird acid trip he's on WE'VE GOT PEOPLE TO BRING BACK
From the beginning I knew that Isha's name meant something, I looked it up and it was "The One Who Protects." It hurt me, her death hurt with my soul.
Song: 10/10
Heartbreaking: 10.1/10
Jinx is Spider-man. Girl just isn't allowed to be happy
literally
Until she's in the video games
Literally i think jinx in this TV show has been more upset then god knows how many years League of Legends has existed
Like what since the 90s?
So Jinx has been more upset in this show then 20 to 30 plus years of League of Legends
@roluevasreisa5730 League was made on 2009, definitely not the 90s
@@roluevasreisa5730dude. even warcraft isn't that old
@eryvac0074 sorry I know LoL has been in comic con conventions for as long as I went to them and idk I want to say thsfs around fifteen sixteen years ago somewhere in thst time frame
Point is I know LoL has been around for a very long time since I went to comic con conventions
The way Vi is struggling to even walk on her own until she sees Jinx is about to run into danger. Then suddenly she's got the strength to hold her back AND body-block her from the blast.
GodDAMN I love this show.
The look on jinxs face when isha loaded the second hexgem into the gun is so sad because jinx knows what’ll happen. Isha loaded three hexgems into the gun like how powder loaded three into her monkey bomb, this CANNOT be a coincidence
Oh my God I totally forgot that this was a flashback to season 1. That’s actually so sad because Jinx saw Powder in Isha and now she has to watch her make the same mistake she did, except this time she’s saving them. She can’t outrun her past :( oml
@@nameless.artist1513 Isha didn't make a mistake, that last look at Jinx means she knew exactly what would happen.
She went out like a big fat hero.
The coolest child to ever fucking live
Isha is literally the GOAT character, really sad to see her go since she's the reason why Jinx is still alive.
her. thats a girl
@@soilderzero2982 lmao, thanks for this, I got so confused with her gender at first I thought she was a boy. ☠
The explosion in the end paused.Ekko probably saved them.
and with no dialogue too
She's not even a jinx when she was with isha, she became someone else, thats why she's hiding herself in her secret basecamp for 1 year because she doesn't want isha to get in trouble because of her
its been an hour.. since i seen that part.... i have no words.. i need a hug rn.
Her First Friend....
@@Jyonasan420the explosion in the end paused.Ekko probably saved them.
Every time I watch this scene my heart rips out of my chest. Have a virtual hug 🫂
@@yardmsever3757 Don’t do that…don’t give me hope
I really thought I wouldn't cry since I didn't in s1... The song started playing and I immediately broke down 💔
1:19 in this scene Jinx is has a pink spray can and Isha has a blue spray can-think Jinx’s can indicates Jinx and blue powder obviously but it could mean that Isha’s blue spray can (powder) could be trying to catch up with the pink spray can (Jinx) and trying to surpass Jinx and become Powder again.
Jinx's eyes in the flashbacks sometimes turns to blue... also the song has this sentence "Blow away the dark clouds with that blue in my heart." 🥹
@ I also noticed that too
Or it could be Jinx taking on the big sister role that vi (pink) had
@@horizonpenblade1288 Yes, it also came to my mind, Jinx is being the big sister that she never ''had'' on her childhood, the ironic thing is that a Powder 2 got pulled off.
I just thought it was a tv girl reference 😞
I just cannot get over this scene, the music, the slow-mo shots, the animation switches, all leading up to that final "pew" with gorgeous lighting and animation. Even in isolation, if you knew nothing about these characters outside of this clip, this scene is great.
i have never cried over animated series or movies but this scene man, its just not fair. :(
same man, not even Mufasa's death made me bawl like this
that little gunshot emote she does at jinx always gets me, this was a DIABOLICAL hit to the feels 😭
Jinxes scream literally broke my heart. It gave me that insane back tingle
Best scene of the series...❤
The kid knew their father couldn't be saved & that he is beyond help, & for that what she did is the bravest thing I've ever seen a child do 😔💔💔
Yeah,to me it looked like he knew what he was doing but was too powerless to stop it
@@HDWrestlingUploader I don't think Vander was there anymore, hence why Isha did this to save Jinx before it was too late.... A "big fat hero" 😭
@@eduardoarmenta9232 Vander is still in there even in league, he even has a line about remembering how he killed a girl
@@AmonTheWitch just to remind you, Arcane and LoL are not the exact same, some of the characters have different personalities, twisted stories, etc. But what you say could be true.
@@baristaz8834 the showrunner Confirmes that arcane and League are set in the same continuity. When the show first came out they said it was separate because they didn't want to feel Constrained, But recently in a Dev update for the game they Explained which Material was connected and arcane and League were now a single universe
The last frame is giving me hope that Ekko reverses time and saves everyone. PLS EKKO, CLUTCH IT UP PLSS ‼️‼️
I haven't played LoL but I found out that ekko's time power only reverses a few seconds. Idk if arcane will change that but it seems likely that ekko can't undo it, sadly.
ekko deosnt have that power, his gadgets do.
Let me ruin it: all of that happened because Jayce killed Viktor and they need Victor to be killed by Jayce for his character development
@@abnrmlgmr64I mean the scene cuts immediately after she pulls the trigger. There may be time for him to do something in a span of 7 seconds. Which is the correct time in the game lore I think
@@abnrmlgmr64more. But probably just 20 or 30 second is max limit.
Jinx's screams of anguish and desperation as she tried to reach Isha completely destroyed me inside and I had to remind myself that it was all a series of a game which made me feel even worse.
Why am I watching this??? I already knew I'm gonna cry again.
So I guess we will all be in denial for a week now.
Yes, yes we will
It’s literally the only way we can cope as of now 😭
2:07 So....Isha pulled the trigger on Vander/Warwick's head to fully transform him into the Warwick we know in-game because of his regen speed?
No this warwick is using dark harvest and not conqueror
Free trial of happiness has expired for Jinx
This friggin show makes me cry buckets
