Ekko Saves Jinx - Arcane

Arcane 2024

I like how when ekko said blowing us up she stops trying to kill herself with a grenade because she didn't want to kill ekko along with her

[thinking]

There is something so messed up about the fact that she created a special grenade that instantly blows up as soon as you pull the pin entirely for herself

[lilbeanladdy]

a fucked up detail I just noticed is she makes a monkey themed bomb to take her own life, the same kind of bomb she killed mylo and claggor with in s1. Perhaps it was her trying to atone and make sure she went out the same way they did

"Jinx! I've come to bargain!"

[junelee]

Ekko saving jinx with the equipment Powder helped him to create is one hell of a trope

[ConnorJ]

shame they cut this scene short wish we got more of it

[bankaihan]

probably one of the most emotional scene

[Drakengard]

this scene should have been a whole episode, seriously

[Jell]

I love how Ekko’s white hourglass mark gets progressively more and more smudged over the course of this scene (you can see it in 0:21, 0:29, 0:41, and 0:48). He’s tried living in the past, and it didn’t work - he’s ready to start experiencing the present and preparing for the future. Jinx may not be Powder anymore, but she’s still here, she’s still alive, and Ekko can still help her. The moment the hourglass fully disappears is around 0:49: the moment when Ekko decides he would rather be here with Jinx in her darkest hour than mourning Powder by himself.

This scene from Ekko’s perspective: “Life is Strange”

This scene from Jinx’s perspective: “This War of mine”

I love her short hair but not necessarily because of the hair itself. Her cutting her hair meant letting go of everything she intended to do that because she was planning to off herself but because of Ekko it became letting go of everything that happened and building something new.

I honestly think they should have made 3 seasons. 2nd one about the war between piltover and zaun and subtle hints to viktors development to a villain. In the end we finally see jayce witness dead corpses and bodies around him in flashes and as a whole to see the outcome of hextech. Like a 'oh god what have we done' situation and the 3rd season could be about jayce rallying people against viktor and his drones. The rebels actually take time to trust the piltovers and its made more believable and not a rushed job. We would have gotten more scenes of ekko and real jinx and hear more interesting conversations.

[CrowFeatherQuill]

That last part is the perfect form of storytelling. Nothing more needed to be said. It's all in her look.
Many of us understand it so well.

The inner quiet battle between:
"one more day, you can surely do one more day" and "please let me go".

[jazmanejont]

0:50 I think this look she gives him is her realizing that he isn’t an illusion and actually really there

[Noir-mhes]

ekko: wait, wait let me tell you something!

[Beerbottles]

After all this time Jinx gotten it into her head that her inventions is always geared toward destruction. By show her the device the alternate Powder made with Ekko powered by the same Hexcore fragment that killed his brothers, it's proof that it's not true. That is how Ekko convinced Jinx not to blow up.

[ZyruhVI]

Ekko: I just want to talk to you Pow- I mean Jinx
Jinx: 😐🧨💥💣💥

[henkeful]

The mascara smudges on Jinxs cheek spells out IV which is 4 in roman numbers, and VI backwards. The animators went to the moon and back for details...

[DMonty]

I just noticed something no-one has mentioned yet. Jinx's tears look similar to her sister's tattoo, but inverted: IV. And, IV is the Roman numeral... for 4. Coincidence? Maybe. In Arcane? Absolutely not.

[Toothpaste_VR]

Fun fact:she thought she was hallucinating ekko the first 3 times because she was already hallucinating other people so once she realized she jumped so she didn’t kill ekko
