How Arcane Crafted the PERFECT Fight Scene

Before Arcane Season 2 releases, I want to revisit my favorite moment in the entire show, and quite possibly my favorite moment in animation. Ekko vs Jinx was one of, if not, the best fight in animation history. Let's talk about why...

I love that the opening to this ep was supposed to be a flashback to Ekko trying to save Powder but she rejectsnhim and punches him like Vi did to her, but they decided to cut it because they believe that the fight scene would be able to tell that story on its own, and they absolutely nailed it. You can feel the history between these two in the few short moments we got in this fight.

Not me wanting ekko and jinx to go off into space together and have awsome time traveling shinagans happily ever after

I saw either in another video or a comment the idea that it was powder who not only pulled the pin on the grenade that blew the bridge, but who did it in a way that would alert Ekko, so that he would get out of the blast radius.

Crow also means adaptability and change.

This sorrow toned voice trying to find the deepness in a song with the lyric "I might just kick your butt."
Jokes aside, good insight on this scene. I personally still think this is the best scene in Arcane. S2 should try to prove me wrong but of what was in season 1, I don't think anything holds a candle to the bridge fight.
