In the second season of Arcane, characters from League of Legends also hide in the form of cameo appearances.
The second season of Arcane has launched on Netflix. Although only the first 3 episodes have been released so far, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive and it already seems clear that we are witnessing a worthy conclusion of the series. However, just like in the first season, some new references to League of Legends and various characters have been hidden in the series this time as well.
Spoiler warning: If you haven’t seen the first 3 episodes of season 2 yet, there are now some light spoilers. Consider yourselves warned.
2 Characters from League of Legends make a brief appearance
Which two characters were smuggled into the series? Observant viewers who are also familiar with League of Legends have been able to spot two “new” characters in the second season of Arcane. On one hand, we have the Yordle Teemo, and on the other hand, the cool sorceress Janna.
Here you discover Teemo: Teemo makes indirect appearances in several places and with various references. The most notable might be the character Isha – an orphan girl who clings to Jinx. Fans of the MOBA will immediately recognize the helmet she wears – as it is exactly the same design that Teemo uses in League of Legends.
Teemo also appears a bit more directly in the first season of Arcane – as an illustration in a children’s book being read by Silco’s subordinate when he wants to intimidate one of the Enforcers.
Here you discover Janna: The wind sorceress Janna is mentioned much more actively, as she is part of the plot of episode 3. The corresponding passage begins at minute 19:20 of the episode.
In the underground depths of Zhaun, Jinx has begun to reconnect the various ventilation systems – as part of a new, nasty plan. She is confronted by Vi and Caitlyn. The central hub of these ventilation systems displays a large image of a sorceress, who apparently has great significance for many older miners.
Jinx explains:
“Do you remember the bedtime stories about the spirit Janna that Vander told us? About the poor miners who could barely breathe underground. Then suddenly, a brave wind-lady hurried to their rescue. Hahaha. It’s really crazy what kind of nonsense people come up with when you cut off their air.”
As magic takes on an increasingly important role in the second season of Arcane, it is only logical that some sorcerers are slowly getting more concrete mentions here. Especially the powers of Noxus are also coming into play – in the form of the black rose.
