00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most thrilling, moving,
00:09and impactful moments in Arcane League of Legends' second and final season.
00:13If you haven't watched Season 2 yet, what are you waiting for?
00:17Because this is your spoiler alert.
00:1910.
00:32Memorial Attack
00:43Arcane is full of epic fight sequences, but for the Season 2 premiere, the showrunners
00:47really upped the scale.
00:49At a memorial in Piltover for the fallen council members, Chem Baroness Reni and her minions
00:53attack.
00:54As Reni fires up her chainsword and chem tanks drop from the sky, the memorial devolves into
01:00mayhem.
01:01Jayce, Vi, and Caitlyn all get their moments to shine.
01:16The animation is fast and furious, dragging us into the chaos.
01:20In the end, as an absolute behemoth of a chem tank bears down on the heroes, everything
01:25seems to hinge on the next shots from Caitlyn's rifle and Jayce's mercury cannon.
01:30Until Ambessa arrives to save the day.
01:469.
01:49Savika vs. Smeech
02:03Some Arcane fights are bloody, desperate, emotional, and or epic.
02:08This one was just a whole lot of fun.
02:10When Chem Baron Smeech and his goons corner Jinx, an unexpected ally rushes to the rescue.
02:16And Jinx has a present for her, a new arm.
02:25Savika's flat stare at Jinx at the prosthetics flamboyance still has us chuckling.
02:35Because it's not just any old mechanical arm.
02:37It's tricked out in true Jinx style, complete with a slot machine handle that activates
02:42an array of abilities.
02:49The fight showcases Animation Studio Fortiche's slick combination of 2D and 3D elements, as
02:55Savika cycles through the arm's functions.
02:58Soon enough, Smeech is smush.
03:018.
03:02Big Fat Hero
03:03Jinx may see herself as, well, a Jinx, but Aisha just sees a hero.
03:13After all, it was Jinx who rescued her from thugs on the streets, and eventually took
03:17her in.
03:18While many Zaunites feel the same about Jinx, Jinx is reluctant to embrace the role.
03:23She's roused to action when enforcers imprison Aisha and other undercity denizens in Stillwater
03:28hold.
03:35As Jinx breaks them out, she's being sarcastic when she calls herself a hero.
03:39But in a moving moment, the Zaunites each place grateful hands on her shoulders.
03:44Of course, being a hero is dangerous work, and she's soon wrestling with a crazed Warwick
03:48so that Aisha and Savika can flee.
03:51The chaotic fight that follows ends with a shocking realization.
03:557.
03:57Caitlyn and Mel vs. Ambessa
04:07In the war for Piltover, Ambessa's soldiers besiege the Hexgates, and Caitlyn is betrayed
04:12into Ambessa's hands.
04:14However, Mel, now with magic to back up her words, has a few things to say about that.
04:27It's two-on-one, but Ambessa has protected herself against Hextech and the Black Rose
04:31with the rune-inscribed shards of Rictus' Glaive.
04:34All seems lost as Ambessa thrusts her blade through Mel's shield, right into Caitlyn's
04:38eye.
04:40But Caitlyn has a surprise in store.
04:42She's used the knife stuck in her own side to cut away Ambessa's runes, leaving her vulnerable
04:46to the Black Rose's attack.
04:48Ambessa thought her daughter was still a fox, lacking the merciless qualities of a wolf.
04:53But in her final moments, she's actually proud of her daughter.
04:596.
05:01Family Reunion
05:02It seemed like nothing could bring the estranged sisters back together, until the reveal that
05:30Vander was alive.
05:31Infused with shimmer and subjected to grisly experiments, Vander had been transformed into
05:36the werewolf-like Warwick.
05:38When the sisters find him again, he lunges at Isha in a blood frenzy, and Vi comes out
05:43swinging.
05:55Amid flashes of light and clouds of red haze, the two brawl, with breathtaking slow-mo sequences
06:01capturing the carnage.
06:02At the last instant, Vi recognizes Vander within the beast, bringing him back to himself.
06:14The family is reunited, with Isha joining the hug.
06:185.
06:19Your Best Enemy
06:42In retrospect, we were naive for thinking that the Act 3 opener would give us a break
06:46from emotional turmoil.
06:47But we were still recovering from the explosive Act 2 finale.
06:51In this poignant episode, Echo and Heimerdinger are transported to a parallel world, where
06:56Vi died looting Jace's lab, Powder remained Powder, Hextech was never invented, and Zahn
07:02is thriving.
07:05Echo discovers a very different relationship between himself and Powder, but he knows that
07:09he has to leave to save his own world.
07:12Their kiss is bittersweet.
07:31In the next episode, Jinx tells Vi that there's no good version of her.
07:36But Echo now knows firsthand that isn't true, and brings her back from the brink at the
07:40last moment.
07:424.
07:43We Finished This Together
07:56The conflict between Zahn and Piltover is embodied in several relationships, including
08:01Jace and Victor's.
08:02In Season 1, the scientists believed in each other when no one else did.
08:07So we were all shocked in Season 2 when Jace blasted Victor, leaving him almost dead.
08:12But Victor's quest to rid the world of weakness and imperfection had transformed him into
08:16the Machine Herald, and it turned out that Jace had seen the fields of dreamless solitude
08:21that would result.
08:22So too had another version of Victor.
08:25Once Victor understands that, he urges Jace to leave.
08:51But this time, Jace stands by his partner, and the two vanish.
08:56Into death or into another world, we're left in suspense.
09:003.
09:01Vi vs. Jinx
09:09Arcane is a tale of two cities and two sisters, and Act 1 all led up to this showdown.
09:15Now convinced that Powder is gone, Vi tracks down Jinx.
09:18What follows is a charged, emotional throwdown where both sisters go all out.
09:23Vi with her Atlas Gauntlets, and Jinx with her full arsenal.
09:26Pow Pow, Fish Bones, Zapper, Flame Chompers, and even her bare fists.
09:35Meanwhile, Caitlyn battles Savika, and elsewhere, Jace, Echo, and Heimerdinger have an arcane
09:43encounter that plays havoc with Hextech, making the battle all the more intense.
09:48Ultimately, Jinx loses a finger and Vi gets the upper hand, which may have been what Jinx
09:53wanted all along.
10:06It's only Isha's intervention that saves her, with Savika enabling their escape.
10:112.
10:12Isha's Sacrifice
10:13Oh boy, this one's gonna hurt.
10:23Isha was all alone in the world when Jinx stepped in to save her, and Isha became devoted
10:28to her new sister figure.
10:29So with Jinx in peril after Vander loses control of the beast within and Ambessa charges in,
10:34Isha decides to return the favor.
10:36As she runs through the battlefield, memories of their time together flood through her mind.
10:53History repeats as Isha skids in and loads Hextech gemstones into Jinx's gun.
10:58A distraught Jinx is helpless to stop her.
11:01Isha's finger gun salute is the same gesture that Jinx once made to her.
11:10Looking up at Vander, Isha pulls the trigger.
11:12In a series full of tragic moments, this one had all of us wiping our eyes.
11:18Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
11:22Vi and Caitlyn get back together.
11:24The chemistry crackles as they finally get the moment they deserve.
11:41Vander's flashback to Felicia and Silco
11:43The flashback gives us insight into the formative relationships that preceded events.
11:48You two are going to figure this Zahn thing out.
11:51I don't care if you have to carve it out of the bedrock covered in blisters.
11:55You're not allowed to fail anymore.
11:57For her.
11:59For me.
12:02What's the point if we can't raise an ankle bud or two?
12:05Riots All Around You
12:07Ashnikko's alt-pop anthem captures the spirit of rebellion in the face of Caitlyn's dystopian
12:12crackdown.
12:27Cassandra Kerriman's funeral
12:29The careful use of color illustrates the bleakness of grief and its bright points of pain.
12:42Vander remembers
12:44Warm memories return the man from within the beast.

13:18Even When We're Worlds Apart
13:26The horrific accident that tore Jinx and Vi apart, and the conflict between Zahn and Piltover,
13:31locked the sisters into a cycle of violence. But as the memory of Silco tells Jinx, there is a way
13:37out. In the finale, Jinx seems to have abandoned the city, but makes a glorious 11th hour return.
13:50It all comes full circle when she's again faced with a choice.
14:07To save Vi, Jinx lets herself and Vander fall, and triggers another monkey bomb. Curiously,
14:18there's a streak of shimmer right before the explosion, and we later see Caitlyn examining
14:23blueprints of air ducts in the hex gates. The series ends with an airship sailing away,
14:28and we'll leave how to read that up to you. What arcane moment is keeping you up at night?
14:34Tell us in the comments.
14:37Those synapses start firing around like drunk slugs.
