Arcane	comment	Arcane is a 2021 animated action-adventure series from Riot Games, and the first animated series set in the League of Legends universe. The show attempts to both be welcoming to newcomers who have no prior knowledge about the League of Legends universe, while also satisfying longtime fans.Set in the technologically-advanced, aristocratic city of Piltover, Arcane follows orphaned sisters Vi and Powder as they grow up in the Undercity, Piltover's impoverished and polluted lower levels. While the people of the Undercity struggle to survive and resist Piltover's violent law enforcement, Silco, a ruthless crime lord with ambitions to raise the Undercity up into its own self-sufficient nation, begins to make himself known. Meanwhile, Jayce and Viktor, two gifted inventors, seek to revolutionize the city and the world itself by harnessing magic as a powerful new energy source. As tensions in Piltover and the Undercity escalate and war seems like an inevitability, Vi and Powder each find themselves at the center of the conflict as the city hurtles towards a breaking point.The series was released on November 6, 2021 on Netflix, divided into three weekly acts of three episodes for nine in total. On November 20th, the same day as the third act release, a second season was confirmed to be in production. It is set to be released in November 2024.Previews: 2019 Announcement, "A Score To Settle", Official Trailer, Final Trailer, "Enemy" music videoNot to be confused with the similarly titled video game Arcane: The Armor Collector, or a late-1990s online game serial, Arcane â€“ Online Mystery Serial.

Arcane / int_11a74598	type	Became Their Own Antithesis
Arcane / int_11a74598	comment	Became Their Own Antithesis: In the intervening years between Acts I and II, several of the characters have found themselves becoming the very people they struggled against. After Silco has replaced Vander as the head of Zaun's underground, he's forced to keep the peace between Zaun and Piltover, if through shadier methods than Vander used. He rages at Jinx over the indiscriminate killing of Enforcers and the mess it will bring, a stark contrast to his brutal murder of Grayson and her squad in Act I, though he at least had a man on the inside for that. Jayce is becoming the very sort of politicking, backroom-dealing councilor that nearly got him banished for his experiments in the first place. Marcus, whose overzealous approach to cleaning up the Undercity ultimately helped get Grayson killed, has become the new Grayson: a chief of police who looks the other way, keeps his troops in check when it comes to the underworld, and has an understanding with Zaunite leadership. The only difference is that his is not an arrangement of choice. Vi was a leader figure to her little gang and the adoptive daughter of the man who basically ran the Lanes, making her as close to an insider in Zaun's slums as one can get. And of course, she despised and wanted to fight the Enforcers. She returns to Zaun helping an Enforcer and is hunted by the new Don of Zaun.

Arcane / int_11cac491	type	Tragedy
Arcane / int_11cac491	comment	Tragedy: The whole show could just as well be titled "The Tragedy of Jinx". To wit: By the final scene in the final episode, Jinx has burned all her bridges, more or less permanently prevented peace between Piltover and Zaun, and made clear that she will never return to the innocent child she once was. It's a similar tragedy to that of Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader, where a major character does not die physically but undergoes a spiritual death instead. The tragedy isn't confined to Jinx, either. Just about every character in season 1 is doing what they think is their best in a bad situation, but their best simply isn't enough as Piltover and Zaun edge ever closer to war. As the final scene roles, the viewer can only watch as the last, best chance for peace is a split second from literally going up in flames.

Arcane / int_147996f2	comment	Love Ruins the Realm: This is Silco's darkly cynical take. He scorned Vander for betraying their shared revolutionary ideals and putting peace first. Yet when offered everything he wanted, independence for the oppressed people of Zaun, in return for giving up Jinx, someone who he himself admits causes nothing but problems for him, Silco can't take the deal because he loves her as his daughter, the exact same motivations (for one of the same girls even) that drove Vander's actions. Silco's wry expression as he commiserates to Vander's statue shows that despite being frustrated with himself, thinking the rational decision for a man who believes in doing anything for power would be to prioritize the greater good, he's accepted that he could never take it.

Arcane / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Arcane / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: League of Legends is a T-rated game with its fair share of darkness and maturity, but Arcane takes itself even more seriously — not only does it extensively explore the troubled backstories of many major characters with the gravity they would probably possess in real life, Fortiche and Riot aren't pulling any punches with the broader themes and the visuals. The video game version of Jinx is generally portrayed pretty comically, with her generally just being interested in blowing stuff up but not really being much of a killer (with a comic she appears in showing her to actually feel guilty when she initially thinks she blew up a building full of peoplenote There are hints through other champions' dialogue that she was involved in something dark, though, and Rioters have suggested that Fishbones is the voice of her repressed conscience). However, her portrayal in Arcane has her killing multiple people during her first appearance as a teenager and she is heavily implied to be schizophrenic which is most definitely not played for comedy. Right off the bat in episode 1, we get a brutal, realistic street fight involving kids. You have blood, swearing, children being traumatized, the explicit depiction of prostitution. And then it progressively gets turned up to eleven as the first act progresses. Episode 2 features Jayce about to commit suicide, complete with a note. Episode 3 gives us actual child (well, teenage) death. In brutal, graphic detail. In Episode 8, the raid on the Shimmer factory features a stylized battle involving Vi and Jayce using their new Hextech weapons against mooks. It takes a sudden and dark turn when the stylized action gives way to very real consequences — Jayce accidentally shoots and kills a child worker in the chaos.

Arcane / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
Arcane / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers present Vander's "don't threaten the guy who pours the drinks" line as being said to the Enforcers, along with the follow-up Death Glare from the bar patrons. He actually says it to a pair of shady traders who are trying to stiff another patron out of what they owe him; the same Death Glare is directed at those two, as well. The way the trailer presents the line makes Vander seem more at odds with the Enforcers than he actually is. One of the trailers makes the story out to be about the bond of two sisters who will always be there for each other no matter what. A passing knowledge of their characters lets you know the story is about how they became bitter enemies. The "Enemy" music video implies that Vi's crew is larger than it really is. In the brief shots of her shadowboxing, Deckard and one of his gang members are watching her along with Powder, Mylo and Claggor, and doing nothing antagonistic. Three unknown people are watching as well (two women and a man), and at least two of them are actually part of the group Sevika leads to join Silco. Ekko is also there; while he's friendly with Vi's group, he's not technically a part of it. The Sneak Peek for Act II misrepresents how Jinx and Vi meet again. It implies it occurs during a fight where Vi is disguised and Jinx doesn't know who it is beforehand, but in the actual scene "Vi" is actually a similar-looking Firelighter whom Jinx hallucinates is her sister. The actual meeting is the result of Jinx summoning Vi, not a happenstance encounter, and isn't initially violent. Trailers tended to overlay Mel's line about it being time for "more radical measures" with images of the blockade, implying that Mel would suggest harder police crackdowns on the undercity which would increase tensions. In fact, Mel's line refers to elevating Jayce to the position of counselor, with him eventually putting the blockade in place without prompting from Mel at all.

Arcane / int_20989d05	comment	Parents as People: In line with parenthood as one of the show's central themes, each of the parental figures in the show is presented as ultimately well-meaning towards their children, but flawed & fallible in their approaches. Vander has given up on the idea of life getting better for the people of the underground, his adopted children included, & focuses on trying to stop things from getting any worse. Jayce's mother nearly sabotages his dream & reputation to prevent his banishment. Caitlyn's parents initially forbid her friendship with Jayce after his disgrace, & later try and stifle her career as an enforcer out of concern for her safety & status. Hiemerdinger, as father of the city, urges focus on caution and high ideals but is blind to the corruption under his nose & offers no real solutions for the city's problems due to his long view approach. Mel's mother exiled her from Noxus to spare herself the guilt of having to make the hard decisions to protect the family in the cut-throat, war-like empire. And Silco encourages Jinx's worst instincts & behaviors, but does so due to his own twisted morals viewing them as good qualities that make her strong.

Arcane / int_23a1e2a9	type	Adaptation Deviation
Arcane / int_23a1e2a9	comment	Adaptation Deviation: While Arcane implicitly frames itself as a canon prequel to the League of Legends universe, it significantly deviates from — if not outright contradicts — previously established backstories in favor of telling its own insular story that roughly sets itself up to the "present" shown in League. Christian Linke and Alex Yee have stated in an interview that while Arcane is "internally consistent and canon", it should not "be considered a source truth over the game", but later Word of God is that Arcane is fully canon and will be the basis of canon from 2024 forward. Yordles are fully acknowledged and accepted throughout Piltover and Zaun, which collides significantly with how they're usually depicted in League of Legends. Following the game's 2013-14 Continuity Reboot, it was established that while yordles do interact with human civilization, usually it was incognito using magical glamour to conceal their naturenote Factions like Ionia and Shurima were exceptions to this as societies there are more accepting of magic, but Piltover and Zaun are not among them. The comic "Paint the Town" (chronologically taking place way after Arcane) shows Heimerdinger himself operating under glamour, specifically because "Yordles are often feared, hunted, and eliminated across Runeterra", which contradicts his status in this series where he's a publicly-known councilman of Piltover, whose yordle nature does cause some problems, but not to a degree that he'd need to disguise himself. While several character backstories shown here stay true to League canon in the Broad Strokes, a few are almost completely overhauled. Vi was originally depicted as having amnesia from her past before a foggy Time Skip where she reappeared paired up with Caitlyn, but neither this nor the original story of where she got her Power Fists are represented. Ekko is also implied to be an orphan based on how his parents are never seen, which contrasts to how they're written as still being alive by the present day in League. In League, while hextech is still described as a "modern" technology, it's been implied to have existed in Piltover for centuries, developed by countless engineers and craftsmen across generations, and it was even described that Zaun's very existence and modern over-industrialized look was a direct result of having to cover the manufacturing for synthesizing hextech crystals. Jayce and Viktor were seen as big names in the field, but their broader rivalries had to do with the handling of the "purest" hextech crystals rather than the slightly less potent synthetic crystals most of Piltover already ran on. This is all completely revamped in Arcane, which depicts hextech as being an invention of Jayce and Viktor in the present day. Notably, there are champions in LoL who this simply cannot be reconciled with, most notably Camille, a cyborg with a hextech heart who's significantly older than most of the cast of Arcane.

While Jinx has all the rest of her equipment, she finally completes her rocket launcher Fishbones and her ult in the last episode. Singed is burned badly in the explosion in Episode 3, giving him his scars. Victor uses the Hextech core to begin his bodily upgrades and see his first steps on his artificial leg.

Fittingly, Art Deco grew out of Art Nouveau, and this in part emphasizes how Piltover has left its undercity further and further behind.

Arcane / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: At one point, Jinx is shown listening to her own Image Song, "Get Jinxed!" and answers someone right after the song ends with "That's me!" Shimmer shares a name with a drug from very early, 2009-2010-ish lore about Zaun, well before the Continuity Reboot that led to the current form of the League IP. While Vi and Caitlyn are visiting the Brothel, Caitlyn notices two patrons wearing Lamb and Wolf's masks. The show as a backstory delights in juxtaposing characters' origins with their eventual state as Champions in League of Legends. Vi who is introduced despising Piltover Enforcers for killing her parents literally has the title of the Piltover Enforcer as a Champion. Powder is a comparatively timid child, who has an emotional need to tag along and can't get her grenades to work when Jinx is infamous as the Loose Canon, utterly wild and free with a habit of blowing up entire buildings. Caitlyn is shown to be a young rookie whose an outsider amongst the Enforcers when as a Champion she's the Sheriff of Piltover. Ekko is introduced asking for a few more seconds to fix a clock when as a Champion he's the Boy who Shattered Time. Jayce is introduced as a humble researcher who happily works with Viktor when as a Champion he's known as an arrogant hero with a rivalry against Viktor.

Arcane / int_30c40e9a	type	Deconstructor Fleet
Arcane / int_30c40e9a	comment	Deconstructor Fleet: Arcane seems to delight in taking many elements that are core aspects of the characters, lore, and even gameplay of League of Legends and show them with gritty realism: A key point in Jinx's popularity is her Mad Bomber personality. She's a funny and exciting character who merely annoys everyone around her. Except here, her violence is more realistic, and it suddenly becomes horrifying. She's dangerous, unpredictable, can't be trusted by her own associates, and her enemies are absolutely terrified of her. And her funny madness? Not so funny when we see it from her perspective. Vi's "punch first and ask questions while punching" attitude is a key aspect of her character, but the show isn't kind to her methods. While not totally ineffective, her impulsive and reckless personality is depicted as a Fatal Flaw that constantly creates problems for her and leads to many things she could have avoided if she had just kept her cool. Combining these two aspects is the relationship between both sisters. Before Arcane straight up said it, it was only vaguely implied that Vi and Jinx were sisters, but then...Where does that leave their relationship? Jinx causing trouble and Vi punching her into submission is the basis of said relationship. It was fine in the beginning because they were rivals and didn't really know each other, but since the show works with the idea that they are sisters, it paints their interactions in a far more tragic light. Indeed it is this very aspect of how they interact rearing its ugly head in the worst possible moment that tears the sisters apart and creates Jinx. Piltover and Zaun's relationship has always been at the center of the lore for characters in both cities, but Arcane is allowed to show the horrible way Piltover treats the soon-to-be Zaun in far more graphic detail, showing exactly the kind of Grey-and-Gray Morality that lies at the center of their conflict. This also means that noble characters from Piltover (such as Jayce or Caitlyn) are left reeling when they see the atrocious conditions that the Undercity has to live with and dealing with such inequality becomes one of the main focuses of their stories. Sadly this also leads to one of the more realistic, and heartbreaking, cases of Status Quo Is God. Just because some of the protagonists suddenly want to deal with a centuries-old problem doesn't mean that they can do much. At the end of the series the city council decides to vote for peace with the Undercity and Silco is dead... but it's too little too late, thanks in large part to Jinx, and in part to the fact that their abuse has made Zaun eager for war. Finally, there's the violence itself. Violence is at the core of League of Legends; it is, after all, a game about killing your competition, but the fights there are both comical and awesome. Not so in Arcane. Nearly every fight here is played relatively realistically, and people get seriously hurt. Whenever the series starts getting too into the fights, something will inevitably make it stop to show the bloody consequences of their actions. Just ask Jayce, Ekko, Jinx, and Vi.

It's used metaphorically with Jayce condemning Heimerdinger as a negligent "Father of the City". Hell, Singed of all people reveals he was once a father and mourns his daughter. Even Silco, the man set up as the Big Bad of the show, spends most of Act 3 running around trying to find his daughter Jinx or dealing with the consequences of her actions. When forced to choose between sacrificing his daughter and dream of an independent Zaun he'd spent his life sacrificing everything for, he'd rather let the world burn than give her up. Everyone wants to do right by their kids no matter who they are but the consequences of their actions, intentional or not, haunt the next generation.

Caitlyn's reasons to working together are professional (even if she's a bit of a Cowboy Cop), analyzes evidence methodically, shows appropriate caution entering the Undercity, and fights from a distance with a rifle. Vi's reasons for working together are strongly fueled by emotions reuniting with Powder, uses personal connections to get information, recklessly attacks her enemies the moment she sees them, and brawls up close.

Powder embraces her identity as Jinx and cuts ties with her sister for good. Caitlyn neither retrieves the lost hextech core nor brings Silco to justice. And despite Jayce, Mel, and Viktor managing to agree to a peaceful solution, Jinx fires a missile powered by the stolen hextech core on the Council's chambers, shattering any potential for peace there may have been. Singed is also shown briefly experimenting in his lab with a hanged muscular man who somehow resembles Vander. The only characters with a positive ending are Heimerdinger and Ekko, the former taking Jayce's words to heart about how ineffectual he'd been, visiting the lower streets to see the conditions for himself, and finding a kindred spirit in the jaded but still idealistic Ekko, with their meeting being framed in a master-student relationship as Ekko shows Heimerdinger the firelights' hideout and Heimerdinger finds hope after his previous relationship with his students soured. Of course the ending above overshadows that, but it's still the best outcome shown.

This gets subverted when Jayce, the newest councilor, builds his iconic hextech hammer, which makes him way stronger than the Enforcers.

Arcane / int_5313c266	comment	Book Ends: Act 1 ends with Powder setting off an explosion that accidentally kills off most of her adopted family sans Vi. In Act 3 after being responsible for the death of yet another adoptive father, she sets off a very much deliberate explosion targeted at the entire Piltover council. Also, both times the situation is on the cusp of turning out alright (her family is about to escape in episode 3, and the council votes for peace in episode 9), and then she quite literally blows that chance. In their first episode, Jayce almost kills himself by throwing himself off the ledge of his destroyed apartment after being kicked out of the Piltover academy (essentially ending any hope of being a scientist for him) but is stopped by Viktor. In the final episode, Viktor is about to kill himself by throwing himself off a high ledge out of guilt for having caused the death of his assistant Sky during his attempt to further augment his body using the hextech core despite not having any shimmer to power it the effect. This time Jayce stops him (though perhaps unwittingly, as Jayce doesn't know what Viktor had done). They both even start with the same line, "Am I interrupting something?" The very first scene of the season involves Vander choosing love over revolution, abandoning his cause to become the father of Vi and Powder. The final scene of the season sees a dying Silco affirm his love for Jinx, admitting that he could never choose independence over his daughter. Episode 1 has Ekko brag about how the Piltover guy "didn't even haggle!" for the equipment he'd bought, while episode 9 has Silco lament to Vander's statue that "The boy didn't even haggle!" over his demands for the Nation of Zaun.

The series shows that Love Hurts, because for everything that's happened between characters who used to be friends or are now estranged family members, the love between the characters never truly goes away in spite of corruption, betrayals, backstabs, and heartaches. "Corruption". The main cast all face it, whether in society or in themselves. The show hammers down the truth that nothing is ever pure, and that can often be for the best. However, for those willing and able to take a good look at themselves and admit their mistakes, redemption is within reach. "Parenthood". The difficulties, personal sacrifices and imperfect decisions that come along with being a parent casts a long shadow over the show. The very first scene shows Vander choosing the path of peace and fatherhood over his own dreams of revolution. Caitlyn, Jayce and Mel's mothers choose to prioritize their own children's safety even if it costs their children's affection. It's used metaphorically with Jayce condemning Heimerdinger as a negligent "Father of the City". Hell, Singed of all people reveals he was once a father and mourns his daughter.

Everyone wants to do right by their kids no matter who they are but the consequences of their actions, intentional or not, haunt the next generation. "Duality": How opposite forces (whether it's "Good Vs Bad", "Rich Vs Poor", "Science Vs Magic", etc.) interact and clash with each other and how it influences the events. "Transformation": How people can change. Powder/Jinx, the most infamous example, was a sweet and innocent girl who became a psychopath. Vander was a violent rebel leader who became a loving father and a peacekeeper. Jayce was a humble researcher who became a popular and arrogant innovator, then a stressed politician.

If anything, he ultimately can't take the deal that would free the people of Zaun of Piltover's boot on their backs because he's not extreme enough to throw away his most normal, sympathetic trait: love for his daughter. Of course it's also not so clear cut, since as Vander warned he sacrificed Zaun's soul by flooding the streets with Shimmer as a recreational drug meaning Zaun would be independent but ruled by a ruthless drug kingpin whose raising of the Chembarons to power also undermined the ethos of loyalty Silco himself harped on.

An utterly ruthless drug dealer crime lord with revolutionary goals to have the oppressed people of Zaun achieve independence arrayed against the highly corrupt Council of Piltover interested in innovation only when it profits them. Silco would murder a child for the cause without flinching while the members of the Council would be horrified at the idea, but they condemn countless children every day to starvation, poverty and violence with their current status quo. Yet Silco and some members of the council are also shown sympathetically caring for their loved ones. It can be hard to see A Lighter Shade of Grey between the leaders.

But, as the older of the two, she's also more mature and not quite as reckless. When they reunite after Powder has metamorphosed into Jinx, Vi is comparatively much more stable than Jinx who undergoes mood swings and violent tempers. As an adult, Vi is also the Red yet another blue-haired character, Caitlyn who recruits her for a criminal investigation. Caitlyn's reasons to working together are professional (even if she's a bit of a Cowboy Cop), analyzes evidence methodically, shows appropriate caution entering the Undercity, and fights from a distance with a rifle. Vi's reasons for working together are strongly fueled by emotions reuniting with Powder, uses personal connections to get information, recklessly attacks her enemies the moment she sees them, and brawls up close.

Since many of the Piltovan heroes in the game have hextech weapons, we know this will inevitably fail. By season's end, Jayce has created the Mercury Cannon/Hammer, and Jinx has created Fishbones, a hextech-powered rocket launcher. While Jayce vows to destroy the hammer after he accidentally kills a child with it, we know he ultimately keeps it, and Jinx's attack on the Council with a hextech weapon has destroyed their last chance for peace. Powder is doomed to become the mentally unstable Jinx no matter how happy she seems in the moment.

The city council, the Enforcers, Vi and Silco's groups... all contain a mix of male and female members, often with women in high positions. Some details of the setting further imply this, such as that Stillwater Hold seems to be gender-integrated or that Vi's boxing skill goes unremarked on as unusual, suggesting organized boxing is common among women as well as men. Additionally, the creators have said they went out of their way to imagine a society where gender and sexuality are just non-issues. A relationship between Caitlin and Vi, for example —an implication they also confirmed was deliberate— would have many issues, but their both being women wouldn't be one of them.

Arcane / int_c2afffe	comment	Take Me Instead: A serious example where first Vi and then Vander offer themselves as scapegoats so Piltover will withdraw its Enforcers from Zaun to prevent violence from breaking out by the increasingly frustrated people of Zaun. A comedic example where Caitlyn begs Ekko to let Vi go and punish her instead. Vi is actually fine and listening in pure amusement. A more subtle but serious example is when Jayce reads Silco's terms and agrees to them, on one condition; Jinx needs to be handed over. Without hesitation, Silco tries to put the blame for her actions on himself, lying that she was doing it under his orders. Jayce knows better than to take away the man he's making the deal with, and stands firm on his counter-request.

Arcane / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Arcane / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: One of the Firelights' masks is very similar to that of Corvo Attano from Dishonored. The top half of Mel's cleavage in her flashback is reminiscent of the Orzhov Syndicate sigil. Violet is at one point threatened by some hoodlums in the slums. She compliments one of them on how nice his coat is before beating him up and taking it as her own, and she proceeds to wear this coat for the entire rest of the story. Vander in the opening scene looks identical to Jim Raynor. Further cemented after the first Time Skip as he's revealed to be a disillusioned Rebel Leader seen mostly in a retro-styled bar (though as The Bartender rather than The Alcoholic). For extra hilarity, his nemesis and one-time friend and partner in rebellion has clothing tastes very similar to those of Arcturus Mengsk (and is responsible for turning an innocent young woman into a psychotic monster who later kills him). This may have something to do with Charles Lee, the artist who designed Vander, previously working at Blizzard on StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void cinematics. At the end of the third episode, Silco is embracing and comforting Powder, who has just been slapped and abandoned by her older sister. The final shot◊ frames Powder's right eye between Silco's arms — she's wearing the same expression as Alexandre Cabanel's Lucifer and the surrounding fire makes her eye color appear purplish pink (the same she will later get as Jinx). The context of this situation is that Powder has just accidentally killed all of her adoptive family and that the overwhelming guilt is going to drive her into insanity. Furthermore, this frame parallels one of the promotional posters◊, where Powder is being protectively hugged by her older sister and has a more innocent expression. In a sense, this represents how Powder went from a difficult childhood with a loving family to being adopted by a well-intentioned but toxic man who uses her as an assassin.

Mel convinces Jayce that corruption and schmoozing with the elites is a necessary part of keeping his seat on the council, which he comes to accept as the price to pay so he can ensure the safety and future technological advancement of Piltover. Vander lectures Vi early on about how being a leader means that you can't afford to be selfish, and he also has a secret working relationship with the Enforcers who brutally put down the revolution he personally led because it keeps the peace. Even Silco, while more exploitative in his relationship with Marcus and planning to revolt, still has to maintain a level of peace, so his anger at Jinx killing Enforcers sounds eerily similar to Vander's anger at Vi after she and her gang inadvertently blew up Jayce's apartment in Piltover.

Arcane / int_cd52fd56	comment	The Aesthetics of Technology: Shimmer and Hextech, the two technologies explicitly held as each city's new technological edge, also follow the aesthetics and act as metaphors for the respective cities. Shimmer is a neon purple Fantastic Drug that can be slurped down, breathed or injected. The effects on the user can be hideous, with bulging purple veins and grotesque muscle growth. It's addictive, with some addicts suffering permanent deformities. Its effects are entirely physical and individual, granting enormous strength and speed temporarily. Its creation was built on unethical testing by Singed. The technology is ugly, powerful in a crude way, and purposefully built on human suffering, making it a lot like Zaun. However, several characters use it to heal themselves from severe injuries and conditions and this benefit is never brought up by other characters, showing that Piltover only sees the negative sides of Shimmer, just like how it only sees the negative sides of Zaun. Hextech is built around tapping into the power of blue crystals. It's treated as an energy source and without any known side effects on users. There is no waste product or runoff to deal with, making it neat and tidy. It's flexible, capable of providing power to either transportation or weapons. Jayce and Viktor created it with earnest intentions. Though only implied in the show (by Sky's disintegration), the Hextech crystals canonically contain the souls of the Brackern and were stolen from their people and the technology is eventually used to create weapons to suppress the Undercity. The technology is clean, inherently innovative, but only possible from the suffering of innocents that the creators don't know or care about, much like Piltover as a whole.

Arcane / int_ce147566	comment	Weak Boss, Strong Underlings: Diabolical Mastermind Silco can hold his own with a dagger but lets the fighting to his minions more often than not because, other than his hideous facial scarring, he's not physically imposing at all. In fact, he has to inject a dangerous drug into his left eye to keep his chemical pollution-induced illness to spread out. Silco's power comes from the criminal empire he's slowly built. As such, his minions include the two most dangerous women in the Undercity — Mad Bomber Jinx and The Brute Sevika — as well as other muscly grunts. Later, he starts enhancing his enforcers with Shimmer, an addicting substance that leads to mutation and gives the user a great boost in strength, reflexes, and speed. Piltover's Council is generally made of people who have no combat training and, in most cases, would have a hard time defending themselves. There are the mandatory Fat Bastard as well as a couple of elderly councilors. They have the Piltover Enforcers at their disposal, who are essentially the city's police force and are often used to violently oppress the Undercity with fire guns and bombs. This gets subverted when Jayce, the newest councilor, builds his iconic hextech hammer, which makes him way stronger than the Enforcers.

The social conflict wedged by the life quality (the idyllic, wealthy Piltover versus the impoverished, polluted Zaun) and technology gap (clean steampunk vs. dangerous chemicals) predates the invention of Hextech, however, the latter's apparition is used to explore the former. For one, the Hexgates turn Piltover into a trading hub of a hitherto inconceivable scale, which showers the city with money and goodies that they don't even think to share with Zaun. Then, when Jayce and Viktor build Hextech-based tools that can frighteningly easily become weapons, the militaristic potential of Piltover suddenly rockets therefore making oppressing Zaun all the easier. All of that despite the two inventors wanting to use their technology to benefit as much people as possible. Eventually, this bites everyone in the ass, as the suffering provoked by Piltover and only festered by Zaun's more ruthless individuals ends up triggering the civil war nearly everyone spends the first season trying to prevent.

Caitlyn and Vi's early dynamic is very Slap-Slap-Kiss, especially during the scene where they head to the brothel in Episode 5. At one point Vi even tells Caitlyn "You're hot, Cupcake" before doing a Wall Pin of Love on her and asking if she's interested in men or women; Caitlyn is clearly flustered, but she doesn't look for an exit and her eyes are fixed right on Vi's face. Later, as Vi is leaving the brothel, she notices Caitlyn flirting with a female patron and smiles to herself as though she's happy to know that Caitlyn is interested in women. After Caitlyn saves Vi from Sevika we get more intimate scenes such as Vi saying she calls Caitlyn "Cupcake" because she's so sweet. Later when it becomes obvious that Vi's injuries are life-threatening Caitlyn goes to find a doctor, when the "doctor" demands a trade for her cure Caitlyn doesn't hesitate to trade her rifle (her only weapon) for the cure. Once back with Vi Caitlyn helps her calm down after the cure hits her system, with the two staring into each other's eyes their lips not even an inch apart. When the two are captured by the firelights and despite being angry with each other, Caitlyn demands they let Vi go and that she is the one they want. When Vi reveals she's fine, Caitlyn is flustered and says she was worried about her. Later in the episode when Vi decides to return to the Undercity, she and Caitlyn share a hug, and as they part Vi strokes Caitlyn's cheek. When things go bad and a shot rings out, Vi immediately turns around yelling for Caitlyn (even though her Childhood Friend Ekko was also there). When they have a very intimate talk on Caitlyn's bed with a soul-splitting Held Gaze and tender face caress (seriously, the sexual tension is insane). When they part ways in the rain after failing to get the help they need from the council, both of them are obviously feeling anguish, especially after Caitlyn asks if their relationship is really impossible, followed by Caitlyn feeling tormented about it in the shower. In the final episode of Season 1, for the first time in the entire season we see Vi absolutely terrified, all by the idea that Caitlyn might have become one of Jinx's victims, and just before The Reveal Vi's mind flashes to that intimate moment they had on Cait's bed.

However, elements of Art Nouveau still pop up in Piltover; for example, Jayce sits down in front of an Alphonse Mucha-inspired artwork at one point.

Arcane / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Mel Medarda is introduced shopping for a kids' toy (a steampunky version of a Rubik's Cube from the looks of it), which she then presents to one of her fellow councilors for his birthday, claiming it is only "for the sharpest of minds". Every single scene he has in this episode and the next ones shows him trying to solve it, and he's still at it even after the multi-year Time Skip between episodes 3 and 4.

Arcane / int_fc4f3b4f	comment	Vi herself is in a Friend Versus Lover conflict between her sister and her new friend (and possible crush) Caitlyn. Jinx hands Vi a gun and tells her to "make [Caitlyn] go away" as a condition for getting Powder back. This Sadistic Choice is part of what makes Vi realize that Powder is gone for good.

Arcane / int_fd1f1a63	comment	Ridiculously Cute Critter: Heimerdinger's pet poro. Imagine a furry sphere slightly smaller than a basketball with tiny eyes, ram's horns, stubby legs, and a fur mustache. It appears to be blind in its left eye, and also makes high-pitched squeaks and barks like a lap dog.

Arcane / int_fe614133	type	Beauty Is Never Tarnished
Arcane / int_fe614133	comment	Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Zig-zagged. Vi and Sevika are the two female characters who end up in hand-to-hand combat most often, and their fights commonly lead to them being bruised and bloody by the end. However, such bruises seem to be consistently limited to their cheekbones and don't swell, as opposed to a few male characters who exhibit actual black eyes and swelling. Caitlyn doesn't look too bad after getting engulfed in an explosion in episode 4. Vi gets generally banged up during her second fight with Sevika, but takes no specific damage from a square punch to the face from the spiked knuckledusters on Sevika's mechanical arm.
