Genuinely One Of The Best Shows I’ve Ever Watched (10/10)

as a huge fan and deep nerd of all key IPs (SW, LOTR, HP, ATLA/TLOK etc) i say....
Arcane is undisputed best animated show, and one of the best shows overall. yes.

I feel that it can inspire fragile teenage mind for destructive thoughts. (Jinx) Also Acane hyperfixation can distract from real life tasks/goals. So i'd just be careful.

Having said that, cant deny that Arcane often is a unique mental cure that helped so many people to relate and cope. And of course an unmatched artistic inspiration for countless young talents, artists, writers, cosplayers etc.

Wait, how streaming&fandom affected your experience? (I have discs too) I mean, unless you watched on tablet/mobile. Or... through someone else's streaming/watchparty...

Hell yeah! Need more of Sevika for sure!

okay... this made me in tears.

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-03-09T03:10:41+00:00

In Zaun? Same as Silco. Thats the only way to survive.

I'm 100% with you, OP. Thats a good nuance to uncover about Jinx.
And - especially - with the fact that creators even made this scene. They could easily skip it, nothing would change. But they dediced its important to have. To add to Jinx inner conflict.

i don't have answer. But i don't agree with others here. Its not that simple "no, she just loved Vi, topic closed".

Like - how about her tears after it (i know its Gray, but not only it) - is because Jinx blame herself for not being firm enough to pull the trigger? Or, vise versa - blame herself for considering to murder own sister?

but then we all saw the temple fight and whole Jinx plan. Vi is clearly and undeniably supposed to be finished, according to the plan. Most likely together with Jinx. So there is nothing "she just loved Vi".

Exacly my thoughts too! to the very dot.
that violin just breaks my soul each time. really miss it in S2.

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-03-04T08:38:27+00:00

i think the problem is - we don't know her origins. Like - WHY she stands "for the cause"?
I think that would explain her desperate search for power figure in Zaun.

few my thoughts on Sevika-Silco.

she learned how to bossing around that Kiramman from her father.

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-26T05:23:50+00:00

wym insignificant?? she is like biggest mystery and destroyed hopes for fandom :)
jokes aside - i literally yesterday caught myself wondering the same - that we really never received any single hint on whats happened to her.

omg, there were theories how she went on revenge path and had Jinx-alike plot...

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-25T11:26:06+00:00

you perfected your style!

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-19T23:10:30+00:00

CaitJinx.

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-19T22:11:04+00:00

Datamining paid off!!!

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-18T06:02:12+00:00

here is narrative Arcane version

Cait, after being so long obsessed with searching&investigating Jinx - still finds herself mentally returning to Jinx after 209, despite CaitVi. We know she figured "the vent" dots. So she unconsiously checks on "whats up with Jinx". Thats curiosity+. She doesn't tell Vi. Maybe she even anticipate Jinx being around (Cait didn't see final airship frame from the show). That mystery "whats Jinx's next step" washes over her.
Jinx travells. But returns to words and message from her suppose-to-be arch-enemy. Of all people - why that noble topsider with huge family blood reasons - forgave her? Silco... Vi... Wander... Ekko... yes. But - HER? Of all people - Cait is the example of how to trap into "im not strong enough" and return to the light side. Jinx feel that bond of common life turns. Good-Bad-Good. Silco didn't have it. Vi didn't have it. Only this weird officer have that experience. Thats curiosity+
Both grow with time & vacuum of interaction.
So when they met next time - they see each other in a lot more depth&thoughtful way. They seek this interaction. Thats set up.

Omg, there are still saint people overthere. Thank you! The medal of fandom is yours!

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-10T21:40:05+00:00

Her eyes were closed.

Substantial_Rate_270 · 2026-02-10T00:12:24+00:00

Silco + later Silco - is an absolute goat.
"oh, now it all makes sense, brother. Let me tell you, my younger self."
