Arcane - Vi created Jinx | scene

Arcane - episode 9

[lightfractals]

Jinx's voice is so raspy. seems like she destroyed her chords from screaming during her "operation"

[juno]

I watch this scene over and over, the emotion in Jinx’s voice always gets me

[nomisunrider]

When the story began, couldn’t see how Vi became the Piltover Enforcer. How she could abandon Zaun for the people that had hurt her so deeply. Then this scene happened, Jinx cutting off everyone but Caitlyn, ruining Vi’s last chance at redemption, and traumatizing her deeper than Piltover ever could, and I understood.
Vi created Jinx. And in this scene, Jinx created the Enforcer. They are each other’s origin story.

"You never left..."

Gives me Chills every time i hear it

[Rose-gquv]

Possibly the best scene for me. I could really feel their affection for one another. It's the fact that they were each other's reason to keep going.

You can actually go back to episode 3, 'The Base Violence Necessary for Change', and see the moment that Jinx was created. In that last scene, when Silco is hugging Powder, and all you can see of Powder is her eye, which is purple. Powder's eyes were grey, Silco's Jinx's eyes were blue, but our Jinx's eyes are purple.

Having watched Arcane in multiple different languages, you really start to appreciate the english voice actor for Jinx a LOT in this scene. No other voice actor in the different languages nails the "You never left, I always heard you..." and so on lines. This broken, almost about to cry sounding voice really gets me every single time I've watched it. The swedish voice actor probably comes closest to how good the english is.

Jinx: Are we still sisters?

Vi: Nothing is ever going to change that.

Jinx: We’ll see….

[forcecaptainoverlordsuprem]

She didn't know, she was technically also a kid and had just lost everyone

[jackify]

Its truly sad that Powder never had a chance to be anything else but jinx

[verified_tinker]

At the start, that's a Valdiani—the same thing Powder found and swiped from Jayce's home in Episode 1.

[colpul]

"But he didn't make Jinx, you did". Everyone sees that as condemnation of Vi leaving Powder to regain her composure, that may be part of it but Vi was no more a 'good sister' than Silco was a 'good father'. Vi's the one who taught Powder that strength is violence, problems are solved with violence. Vi instilled in her a violent hatred for the social order. Vi encouraged her to become a bomber. What does Vi tell a ten year old Powder when she complains her Monkey Bombs don't work? "They will." Jinx was always there, as a pre-teen she's putting nails in bombs.

I still cant get over how this is ella purnell talking. Shes so talented.

[Blobessence]

The emotion on Vi's face when she sees the purple glow in Jinx's eyes, kniw that her sister was now transformed into the monsters she had seen before was chefs kiss

[nicolasdiez]

Bro for me this is the best part in all Arcane

[killerdiva]

I think the key part of this scene at least in the way i interpret it is that jinx isnt telling vi that she created her out of blame. She wants vi to love jinx and not powder. Vi thinks jinx is blaming her because she views jinx as a problem, but jinx was explaining to her that vi is the one that made jinx, and it should be jinx she loves and not powder. Jinx is pointing out the irony that silco would accept her for who she is but vi, the person that made her, wont. The last thing she wants to hear from vi is “im sorry”. “Im sorry” means vi still wont accept jinx. When silco’s entire plans go to shit because of jinx, when he gets killed by jinx, he says “your perfect”. Its at this moment when jinx for the first time in her life realizes what true love is. Its at this moment when she realizes that she can never get this from vi. Silco, like vander in the end would throw his dreams and ideals away for the person he loved most. Vi couldn’t do that. None of this to say that vi is in any way guilty, her inability to blindly accept jinx’s path of death and destruction is undeniably heroic. The beauty and tragedy of arcane is that each character has a reason for being who they are. Each character is the villain in someone else’s story, yet since each character has a reason to be who they are, there are no true heroes and villains. Just a bunch of broken people struggling to survive in a society that has abandoned them.

[Pheniox]

The scene where they meet for the first time as adults when her voice cracks when she says "you're playing me" the emotion just develops to this point and I love it

As much as a sympathize with Jinx, i also always felt incredibly bad for Vi. It's not entirely her fault Jinx is this way, Jinx is broken and so is Vi. I mean Vi is literally the parent figure in their sibling relationship, she was shouldering a huge responsibility when she was at her early teenage years, there's no way she's going to be prefect at it. Not to mention the trauma she was also having and her not being the most intelligent and wise person.

"Spiderman why did you create that guy?"
