After an interminable wait of three years, the small screen adaptation of the League of Legends universe is finally back with nine new episodes. And given the rave reception reserved for the first season of Arcane, we obviously expect a lot from it.
Jinx's Super Death Rocket
The least we can say is that season 1 ofArcane ended on a huge cliffhanger. As the Piltover Council voted in favor of peace and independence for Zaun, Jinx left behind the Powder she was to officially go crazy and send a massive Hextech-powered rocket towards the Council Chamber, where include Jayce (the inventor of Hextech with Viktor), his friend Mel, and Cassandra, Caitlyn's mother.
Their fate is obviously unknown at the moment but we wonder how they could survive such a projectile. The war should therefore rage between the two cities in this season 2, where Jinx should become an icon of resistance to Zaun, while according to the trailer, Vi no longer wants to hear about her sister and joins Caitlyn from alongside the Piltover police, who will impose martial law in Zaun.
Long awaited answers
The one we won't see anymore is Silco. During the final banquet of the first season, Jinx's adoptive father ended up riddled with bullets fired by the latter, before letting out one last heartbreaking confession: he did not want to abandon her in Piltover in his deal for peace. After the death of Silco, we can bet that his right-hand woman Sevika will take his place and manage the Shimmer business in Zaun, even if she suffered a big defeat from Vi at the end of season 1 .
As for Caitlyn, she also suffered seriously because of Jinx in this finale, and if her mother also dies because of her, their relations are not likely to improve. Everyone is also holding their breath to know if Viktor will survive the illness that is gnawing at him, but we can bet that he will transform and take on the augmented appearance of his character in League of Legends.
New champions approaching?
And since we're talking about the MOBA from Riot Games which inspired Arcanethis season 2 should also mark the arrival of new champions, starting with Warwick, who would be none other than a transformation of the late Vander by Singed. Another credible hypothesis mentioned by fans: the appearance of LeBlanc and his organization, the Black Rose. If this were confirmed, there is no doubt that the Internet would explode.
In any case, this season 2 should break new records for Netflix. Acclaimed by critics and the public, the series triumphed at the Emmy Awards in 2022. But due to its pharaonic cost (250 million dollars for 18 episodes, an absolute record for animation) it will end with this season 2. All the more reason to take full advantage of this final tragic confrontation between Vi and Jinx.
Arcane season 2, from November 9 on Netflix, available with CANAL+.
