Ekko is RAW! Arcane Ep 8 Reaction when?

"I use to had a crush, until you started talking to the gun" Ekko interaction with Jinx

"If you can't make the most out of any given moment you don't deserve a single extra second" -Ekko

He was ready to kill jinx He was not ready to kill powder

Can't believe how one episode turned Ekko in to my favorite character in this show.

Jayce: "I have got a lot on my plate." Viktor who is literally dying: "..."

I fucking love Ekko. He didn't hold back when he needed to and had the self control to stop and realize Powder is still in there.

When Viktor accidentally activated the grenade timer he hesitated for a moment before cutting the wire. I think he was contemplating blowing him and Jayce up to prevent Hextech being used as weapons but ultimately decided not to. He even followed it up with saying "There is always a choice." He almost made the choice to end the misuse of Hextech right then and there.

17:37 (I think) You're misunderstanding that scene, they showed Ekko and Jinx as kids because it was literally the game they played as kids, Powder winning those games cuz of her obvious skillful gunplay, then Ekko winning in real time cuz he grew up and got better.

"Powder's kill count?" "Oh no... it's just a mural" Nah bro... that was pretty much Powder's kill count. You were right the first time. :D

If you go back and watch the earlier episodes, Jinx was working on those firelight bombs through the whole show.

The Ekko vs Jinx fight was top tier, it felt like battling her like he did in their childhood was his own way of trying to reach out to her. Also idk if you guys noticed but the doctor who Viktor visited that made Shimmer was also the same doctor who made the serum for Silco back in the early episodes. That's why his face is burnt after that entire factor blew up because of Powder.

Ekko always had a Rap theme, hell, he has a skin where he's a rapper.

"She'll Come to You, When she's Ready" - 6:17 This was probably the nicest thing and the closest way Savika can ever understand or emphasize with Jinx..... It actually sorta surprised me that there was some level of tenderness underneath all that.....

You know how alone ekko had to be after that whole explosion in act 1? I’m surprised he didn’t turn out way more evil considering no of his friends were alive, or even around💀💀💀that’s why ekko the 🐐🐐🐐

9:45 I still can't get over how fucking cool that scene is. Really hammers home that Silco is not just some petty crimelord - this man lives, breathes and bleeds Zaun. Literally, sometimes.

Ekko actually stopped punching Jinx cuz back in the day Ekko had a crush on her. He even has a voice line in-game where he says: "I had a crush, until you started talking to the gun."

Someone pointed out in a comment that made me tear up. They said Jinx dropped that bomb, because Ekko brought Powder back with the kid game they played. She wanted to die as Powder and she wanted to do it with Ekko, the only person who didn’t abandon her. Even in their fight, he turned it into their game.

That Ekko scene went crazy. The swap between their childhood and present day, was firee.

Ekko hasn't been my main for years for nothing. He's a real G

Ekko hit the grenade before it explode (you can hear the sound of a metallic object hitting another metallic object a second before the grenade explode). The writers are not stupid enough to think we would believe an explosion like this wouldn't blast the life out of Ekko and Jinx. And believe it or not but Jinx actually wanted to die at this moment, she's just tired at this point.

Clarification: the Ekko Jinx fight was showing how they used to play as kids. Ekko as a kid got hit by Jinx, but Ekko grown up knew how to avoid Jinx's attacks based on his experience with her and knowing how she shoots. That's why he didn't get hit at the end.

I think that Silco genuinely believes that Vi and Caitlyn don't care about Jinx and only care about the gemstone. He feels like they both were betrayed and they can only trust each other, so he doesn't want Jinx to be hurt again. Although it's not entirely correct, he believes he has her best interest in mind.

I think Jinx always sees Mylo because the moment when Vi left her was *very* impactful on her psyche. "Because you're a jinx. Mylo was right." That's why Mylo always talks to her.

In a show full of well realized characters, Ekko is my favorite. Wish there was more time for his story.

i love how they demonstrate ekko’s power (rewinding time) without him actually physically having powers

Lupa is salty 🤣 but yeah jinx WAS a child but her recent actions justifies that she is a criminal now, sadly people change and that is exactly what happened to jinx and at this point i just hope somehow Vi's relationship with her can be saved one way or another.

Lupa be trippin And Ekko a straight beast. 🔥

i don't get why people (such as lupa) would root for characters such as harley quinn and loki, who had done WAY WORST THINGS than jinx. like the only reason you felt that jinx is so unforgivable, is because this series shows jinx' actions in such a more personal way compared to previous characters that i mentioned. you laugh at loki making jokes, whilst in reality he's killed like thousands of people probably from that new york attack alone.

The urban kid joke has me on the floor!!!!😭😂

"Why does villians always look like villains?" And then a picture from Monster LMAOOOOOOO what a culture man, the editor

My favorite thing about silco was how he had a coffee mug that Jinx made him on his desk and an ashtray that she doodled on

Just to be clear, Viktor did not make any weapons, they made tools. Those items are supposed to help manual workers have an easy time with their work because that's what Hextech is for the both of them. To help the lower class and for Viktor specifically, to help the Undercity. Of course like all tools, they just can be weaponized and with Arcane, it'll be a pretty nasty weapon.

ya’ll don’t understand nuance when it comes to characters and it shows, no one’s justifying jinx’s actions, they’re only explaining to you the reason why she’s doing this is bc of trauma. ya’ll rly gotta stop looking at things through a black or white morality, especially in shows like this where they take the effort to show you that not every character is either good or evil, theres a grey area mixed in with it as well

As someone who's learning how to draw right now so I can start doing animation, that fight scene literally made me tear up, like bro!!!! Arcane just set the standard for Western animation🔥🔥🔥🔥

The gas mask scene wasn’t poison. It was the industrial gasses that used to fill the streets, but thanks to silco were gone.

“That 2 seconds, that’s all it takes” i love how this is so related to ekko’s character

your uploads make me feel better. i was recently hit by a car on saturday and i’m still in the hospital so thanks

I think Silco's eye still has that toxic stuff from when he was drowned. That daily dose of shimmer acts like a medicine.

Ekko vs Jinx is my favorite fight scene in this show. I replayed it like 7 times.

13:18 editor, you're the most brilliant guya I ever seen

Ekko has the best drip in the entire series

lupa clearly hasn’t read and understood the comments. no one said jinx’s actions were right, we’re just saying you can’t act as if she’s a fully functioning adult with a clear delineation between right and wrong. her past trauma has screwed up her psyche and directly affects her actions in the present. i just want him to acknowledge that instead of acting like she’s the worst person in the world; especially when he’s rooted for way worse people.

Cant believe they had to explain to this dude whats wrong with a child 7? who lost her parents and everyone she cared for in moments, to be abandoned at that point to deal with the guilt and pain. To have to explain how that could mold you into the well written character she is now. She has some serious mental health issues, that is rarely written this way. Have to give them more credit for doing it in an animated show. That teenage girl has only known violence.

🤣 When she yelled "MOVE!!" and then looked to the side depressed and disappointed 18:44

Love that nice touch in the scene between silco and jinx. Like we see silco be ruthless to those thugs and keeping them in check but with jinx he is passive and tries to talk out with her. The other thing was how he was struggling to take the dip on his eye because jinx has been doing it for him for a long time. He trusts her to do it for him for a long time now.

I'm so glad Ekko has the hairstyle from the true damage design and not that goofy mohawk from the game

Lupa at the end so petty about Jinx LMAO

Lmao Lupa got me mad 😂

jinx is a broken character her actions aren't supposed to be justified but it is the result of her trauma and mental issues. the show is not asking you to justify all the crap that jinx did, the show is asking you to sympathize and understand that she's going through a lot. this show is amazing because it gives light to the fact that people with mental issues or trauma needs help and that is why we should both sympathize and empathize. that's the beauty of media, we can all form our thoughts and opinions, i just wanted to share my pov this episode was crazy ekko is built diff

Every Ekko main thinks that they fight and weave skill shots like that when they get 6.

"It's not how much time you have, it's how you use it." -Ekko

for Mister Lupa. Would you really treat an 10 year old stealing a phone the same way you would treat an 21 or even a 18 y/o stealing a phone? Would you really treat a screw up by a 10 y/o the same way you would a 21 y/o ? If so props to you for keeping this consistent. But if my baby sister screws up shes just a child, if i screw up im getting the belt .

You guys are always improving and updating your visual design and graphics! LOVE IT!

A lot of ppl overlooked the beginning of Jinx vs Ekko scene where Ekko took out the watch and jinx was like "hah" she hahed because she realized the firelight she fought on the airship in ep 4 was Ekko its the little details bro 🔥🔥

What I'm getting from Jinx is that she has been having phychotic episodes and she probably suffers from schizophrenia.There are a lot of symptoms alluding to that, most noticeably the hallucinations and delusions. When serious harm is done because of one's mental conditions it cannot be excused, because it cannot be undone, but we get insight into how they ended up behaving that way, making such decisions, choices, taking such actions, or lack thereof.

I love how proud dude is of himself when the whole audience and even the other 2 people on the couch lookin at him like he's to dumb to understand lmao... "Moving on"

Is no one gonna talk about the literal thick comparison randomly happening between vi and Caitlyn?? 🤣🤣

This is one of the scenes that’s so heartbreaking. Childhood friends on opposing sides. As soon as the watch swings and they revert back to their younger selves. ✊

Like I rewatched it. When ekko beats her and stops, it’s bc he sees powder not Jinx. And i think in that moment she was, she just wanted to die at that point. Bc she knows that she’s changed too much. She pulled the grenade. Chilling..

also on the bridge, the fact that jinx shot at Caitlyn and Vi just to SEPARATE THEM not to kill them, should be mentioned.

The fight scene with ekko and jinx was them fighting like how they use to play when they were kids. That’s why jinx and ekko were smiling bc they were playing the old game they used to play as kids and powder would always win. And then it snapped back to reality and it showed ekko winning for the first time but this time it was for real.

Lmao lupa whining for 5 mins before they notice him

Lupa is something else. Sheera: Move! Explosion: That’s not gonna help him

I love the scene when jayce said to viktor that they have no chiice and viktor made a choice to either cut the wire or not on jinx bomb then he told jayce that there is always a choice

13:22 Lupa does the Wakanda salute and Editor san is like "I got you bro" with theme song. Awesome combo😂😂

Wow, Roshi, I totaly notice the changes in today's edit. The new set-up is NICE! I hope you all are taking breaks though! You spoil us too much and I wouldn't want you all to get burned out. As always, I love the content!!

"She woulda blown up too!" It's kind of implied that was the point. If they couldn't be together in life, maybe death'll give 'em a second chance.

Hello Editor, I haven't finished the video yet but the edit with their name tags, current reaction shows, and schedule are SUPER GOOD! Great job cause it looks clean as hell!

For me ekko was a complicated character to play in LoL, but I like his character. And now I love the boy even more because of this episode.

Ekko feels even better to main after watching arcane.

The fight between Ekko and Jinx is prolly the dopest animation I've seen in years.

So what they did with Jinx vs Ekko was show how as children Ekko lost during that game, and now that they’re older he knew Jinx would fire the same pattern she did when they were kids, so he moved his body accordingly to avoid losing again.

Ekko has got to have his moment next season i hope. His entire character is about making the absolute most of the situations youre in the first time around. His stopwatch, counting seconds. Learning from the first time you go through something. His entire theme is about time and using your experiences and learning from them. He was always watching and learning about the people he fights. Hes the last dude you want a rematch with.

13:20 vi has been doing squats in prison for years, ofcourse she brings the dumptruck

lol this is super late but the rap intro's lyrics is actually what ekko is trying to achieve with the firelights. He is the only character that didn't have a flashback during the intro. While Vi has been stuck in the past, Silco, Cait, Jayce and etc working on the future (for progress and etc.) Ekko is the only one actually doing something in the present. He is helping people that needs help now. In the rap, he said he "declares war on anybody standing in the way of what I dream for..." that's why he goes against silco and piltover, he is neither in the good side or bad side, but anybody that is against what he is trying to achieve. lol i just want to say that the rap wasn't random. P.S Ekko is also part of the group true damage (it's a skinline) and they have 1 song called giants and he raps(well its actually thutmose and duckwrth). you def have to check it out when you can.

I gotta say after watching this episode ekko became my fav character in the show, wish we’d got to see more of him in action and this was definitely my favorite fight in the show, also they should have explored the ekko and powder moments a little more imo

I totally love powder and I feel for her so much. I wish people wouldn’t make jokes about it. She’s done some messed up stuff since she became jinx but I still feel for her. Also ekko is dope. So many characters in this show are awesome.

You're so far the best at making reactions plus your video editor deserves a praise he knows what we want, god damn amazing video editing

Lupa’s salt at the end ain’t helping his case 🤣

"I don't need hours, or days, or years...I only need seconds" - Ekko

I know it's been awhile but small detail from the fight. She did throw grenades and stuff to everyone the whole show. Here she could have sticked this one on his vest or anything so he couldn't escape it. But she released it. He could dodge it but she couldn't. She tried to suicide here. Hence the little smile she does just before handing the grenade. What a cool character design

This show's animation is next level. That intro and the Ekko vs Jinx scenes were animated so dope

Just stumbled on you guys by accident. Great reaction. You all have some solid chemistry/banter.

Coming into this knowing Lupa gonna upset me with his opinions towards Jinx and I'm gonna ignore that. Now that I've done that let me enjoy Sheera and Roshi's reactions. P.S this doesn't mean I hate Lupa I usually enjoy his reactions however for this series we've been disagreeing and that's ok EDIT: I wasn't upset with lupa today (I take it back)

one thing tv (especially squid game) teaches us is that no one is really dead unless they show an on-screen death.

You know what I realize? Viktor is there one in the middle of all this. He works for Hextech while also having Shimmer operate him. Viktor combined both Shimmer and Hextech.

Lupaaa I’m going to need for you to understand how child trauma works and view Powder from a less dense psychological perspective 😭. All of these characters are very fleshed out with multiple facets to them, she’s not just same basic villainous that came from nowhere.

jinx and ekko's fight scene just lives in my head rent free.

Little bit late, but if you watch the grenade scene a little closely you can see a pink trail right before the explosion, I didn't catch this at first but it's probably Ekko batting away the grenade in an attempt to save jinx's life.

He was ready to kill Jinx but he wasn't ready to kill Powder, his childhood friend

I've been waiting for this🔥🔥🔥

Roshi: “I just don’t see how Jinx could have survi-“ Me: “Plot.”

The Ekko vs. Jinx scene at the end is, in the words of Lupa, A R T.

7:46 That kind of is Powder's kill count lmao, almost everyone on that wall she killed

13:19 Yeah? Who's y'alls editor, bro? 😂😂😂

Ekko dodge bullets with ease. Every reactor on KZfaq:yes, he is dead now.

11:25 so details on shimmer. Shimmer is basically in simple turns a dosed up captain America super solder serum. Small traces like a drop is enough to heal wounds or infections. So silco his eye is infected since that day vander tried to drown him. So that just a small drop is enough to keep the chemical poison ag bay. When pierce surface of his eye the shimmer also instantly heals it. From last act when Caitlin got the medicine for vi it’s mainly water but a drop of shimmer is enough to mix with it and heal vi quickly. Note on this next part: not sure if spoiler do to we have zero clue if this characters appears at all in s2. There is a character that calls himself Dr. Mundo. He was able to find a way to keep the effects of shimmer within the body without dissipating or require a new dose like you see for ppl that keep taking if and become addicted/deformed. He basically is the hulk if he was purple and bit dumb. He talks like “huh? Mundo should open door? Nah mundo push door (proceeds to punch through it and instead of grab doorknob he just walks through breaking door and crushing doorframe) see mundo smart. Mundo know door works.” Pretty much.

Silcoe's such a great villain

as someone who just got into editing the upgrade looks dope asf 🔥🔥 shoutout to X3MA 🔥🔥
