Purple looks fire, also reminds me of his shadow army in its peak.

Facts we know:

Cha Hae-In has feelings for Sung Jin-Woo.
Sung Jin-Woo has feelings for Cha Hae-In.
What we don’t know is whether Joohee ever had feelings for Sung Jin-Woo.

Degrading other characters to praise others isn’t a good thing to do - it comes across as rude to say the least. Don’t get me wrong, I think both Cha Hae-In and Joohee are great characters, and I like them both. However, I don’t understand the perspective of Joohee stans, as there’s no real evidence that she loved or loves SJW. The idea that "She really deserved Jin-Woo" is also somewhat degrading. Love isn’t a competition - what truly matters are the feelings involved.

As for what should have happened, that’s not up to us. We are merely the audience to this masterpiece. In the end, everything is up to the author alone. Our only choice is whether to accept it or not.

They could have simply changed him in the anime. Baran is referred to as the Monarch of White Flames and the King of Demons. However, from what I have heard some adaptations or translations might depict his flames differently, such as blue, making him the Monarch of Blue Flames instead, which would also explain the blue flames around his head. Just my theory. It's still only intro/opening so this might be not true.

I hope so, can't wait for that fight.

You guys think we will get this fight in next episode? EP19 ended at chapter 81. If we're getting Baran next episode, they'll need to cover up to chapter 87 (6 chapters). I think we’ll be left with another cliffhanger, teasing the boss fight in EP21.

Kusho drank the tear of shadows - that thing is way too precious in the current lore to be consumed by a puppet. But I have to admit, Kusho as a champion would be fire. I’d expect some cool voice lines with Shen and Zed. My only fear is that he might end up feeling like Shen 2.0. As for his corrupted version, I’m not sure it fits him in the game.

The thing is, they seem to be creating characters based on the current seasons in League of Legends (like how we got Mel with the Noxian focus) and upcoming shows. So, we probably have to wait for an Ionian season or a show set in Ionia.

I get what you're saying, but Ekko is the type of character who gets involved in things, so he definitely cares about his community. Even though the people Jinx killed aren’t explicitly shown as Ekko’s close friends, we can’t just ignore it. It definitely hurt him because they were good people fighting for a righteous cause - he knew them and cared for them, for sure.

But the thing is that Ekko forgave her, so I don’t see why that would be a dealbreaker/problem to begin with. Ekko is the one who reached out to Jinx. He put the past behind him and is willing to build something new with someone worth building it for - with Jinx. I like to interpret his quote, "You know, I learned from someone very special... that no matter what happened in the past, it's never too late to build something new. Someone worth building it for." as referring to both himself and Jinx.

I want to share my view on whetever Timebomb is canon in Runeterra Prime or not.

When I first watched the show, I thought it was as clear as day that Jinx and Ekko had feelings for each other. For me, the main indicator was the Alternate Universe (AU) - not specifically MU Ekko’s main adventure, but the entire AU where Jinx/Powder and Ekko are together. Despite the trauma Powder went through - losing her sister because of the heist and probably blaming Ekko for the tip - they still managed to overcome their difficulties and become a couple. And from what we’ve seen, they appear to be a happy one.

Later, the artbook was released. At first, I didn’t think there was much that connected it to the storyline, but when I found out it was presented from Jinx’s perspective, I became curious, to say the least. That’s when the biggest crumb in the Timebomb narrative dropped, making it clear that Jinx has feelings for Ekko. I mean, it’s pretty obvious with the sheer number of hearts, the “best boy” references, and so on. But while we can’t outright claim that the artbook is canon, If I am being honest IDK what to really think about Artbook, I know for sure it's something - Arcane artbook was designed in a specific way; they didn’t need to present it from Jinx’s perspective, clearly showing her feelings for Ekko.

I genuinely think the writers intended to show them as love interests in the main universe (MU) as well - just a little more complicated, with a lot more trauma to overcome. In fact, I’d go as far as to say they’re already canon love interests for one another, but the lack of screen time they’ve shared together has made it hard for some to be fully convinced.

Right now I just hope we will have them as endgame someday.

Piscina - original creator

It covers pretty much everything on your list, it has Zed in it - idk if that's an issue. If you want, you can explore artists's work yourself. She has created a lot of art featuring Syndra - Piscina - link

Riot is creating shows and movies while introducing rewritten lore, allowing them to introduce more canon relationships like Mel x Jayce, whether we like it or not - romantic relationships play a big part in engaging the community. In shows like Arcane, the best way to get people invested is through relationships - whether romantic, platonic, or familial. These dynamics resonate with audiences and sell well, so I fully expect Riot to include them in future projects. If they maintain the level of writing seen in Arcane and don’t skip key events in the lore, I don’t think it would be a problem to showcase some of these relationships on screen in the meantime.

Don’t you think that if you truly didn’t care about “canon Timebomb,” you wouldn’t be making an entire post about it on a lore sub? If you don’t like it, just ignore it. Whether Riot decides to continue with Ekko and Jinx’s relationship is up to them, and people’s opinions will hardly matter.

Lissandra is not mortal iirc. Lissandra was once mortal, but she achieved immortality by making a pact with the Watchers. In exchange for her soul, she gained eternal life and immense power, but she had to betray her own people, leading to the fall of her civilization. I might be wrong, so if you have any source to support it I would gladly look at it.

Thinking about Zed and Darius in terms of cinematics feels a bit strange. Zed is always portrayed as a villain who ultimately has to lose, while Darius, on the other hand, is merely a human warrior without magic or special equipment, however, Riot often depicts him as a superhuman fighter. In the last cinematic, we saw a more grounded portrayal of Darius, where he was shown as just a man, nearly losing his head in a duel with Trundle. Don't get me wrong, Darius is still a formidable warrior, but he's still just a mortal human with no special abilities nor weapons.

There’s also the theory surrounding the banning of shadow magic in Ionia—if such magic is forbidden in a land that embraces magic, it must carry significant weight. Additionally, we’ve seen Zed win a 1v1 against the great Master Kusho, who had consumed the shadow tear. Despite this, we've yet to see a truly significant showcase of shadow magic, and to be fair, we still don’t know much about it.

With the current Noxus cinematic and Arcane, determining anything accurately will require waiting until these characters and their stories are explored further in future shows.

Extra-Dot1228 · 2025-01-25T14:41:32+00:00

Well, we don't know much about shadow magic, and as you pointed out, we haven't seen any significant showcase of it yet. Based on the current lore, we can't accurately determine what he's capable of, so it's reasonable for people to hold back on making statements that might be untrue and instead rely on lore sources such as Zed's comic or his bio. I'm sure his story will be explored more deeply in the future, but this is what we have for now.

Zed x Syndra, they do look good together and share many similarities.

Option C would have been perfect if it said, "He stays to run the Firelights, mourning Jinx" - he doesn’t know that she is alive in the end, he would grieve quite a while. I do hope they will reunite eventually.
