The end of Season 1 of the LoL series Arcane was fantastic – but there is much to discuss. What exactly was there to see?
The end of the first season of Arcane is, in the eyes of most viewers, nothing short of a masterpiece. The final episode has delighted fans of League of Legends, and most who may not have had anything to do with the game universe, with a fantastic rating of 9.8 / 10 points on IMDb.
And yet, the end of Arcane is controversial. For some, it is a gigantic cliffhanger that leaves far too many questions unanswered. For others, it is a spectacular finale that provides enough answers and represents the perfect provisional closure.
Spoiler warning: This article discusses the story of Arcane up to and including Episode 9. Anyone who hasn’t seen the episodes should catch up now. It’s a must.
In the first season’s last episode, the creators of the series celebrated quite a feast. Almost all storylines were brought together to reach a climax with an explosive finale – in the literal sense.
Jinx “collects” the protagonists and antagonists and brings them to a common table. Both Silco, Vi, and Caitlyn are seen in this long final sequence, which revolves around the mind and identity of Jinx and Powder.
That Jinx is directly responsible for Silco being shot and dying from the wounds at the end is a tragic repetition of the tragedy from Episode 3. Jinx wanted to find a solution, a way to bring together and save the people she loves – both as Jinx and as Powder.
Ultimately, it is this gathering of characters that contributes to the escalation and leads to Jinx shooting Silco. Even though Silco calls her “perfect” at the end, Powder has once again killed her father figure through her own actions. Once more, it has been confirmed that she is a “Jinx” and brings only misfortune and destruction to all those around her.
