    I am sitting here in awe.

    I really can not put together the words for how I feel right now after watching this. This is on the same level as The base violence necessary for change in every aspect and could even exceed it in many ways as well. I'm trying my best to not give too much away about the episode because it is one you have to see without reading anything about before watching. The soundtrack, animation, writing, voice acting, and just every little detail is beyond great. The last 15 minutes of the episode put me through a blender of emotions and I was just sitting in shock with tears in my eyes by the end of it while the credits rolled. I don't want... I need the next 3 episodes now!!

    master piece 11/10

    Episode 6 of **Arcane** Season 2 is a powerful blend of emotional depth and stunning visuals. The long-awaited reunion between Vi and Jinx is filled with tension, as Jinx's mental instability is portrayed through her haunting hallucinations, driving a wedge between them. Viktor's storyline also escalates as his Hextech experiments offer both hope and danger. The animation, combining 2D and 3D styles, continues to push boundaries, perfectly capturing the gritty yet magical atmosphere of the world. This episode masterfully sets the stage for the final conflict.

    Just masterpiêc here! I love it!!

    This show is very clearly one of the greatest shows of all time.

    The animation is better than any other animation I have ever seen... It's better than anything Disney or Pixar has ever done, and it's not even close. The exact same goes for the audio, which is extremely effective..

    The story is truly something special the way they play on your emotions is epitomized in this episode. This is an extremely emotional episode and by the way the voice actors are ridiculously good in this show. I really can't nit pick anything unless you want to say the story is a bit fast paced in places. I can't wait for them to do more of these shows in the rest of the world. Very hyped for what might be the greatest animation of all time, certainly the best game adapted show of all time, by far.

    The human condition

    While I stand by my assessment that Act I of Season 2 had some pacing issues and made some unfortunate jumps in story-telling hidden by all too frequent music video styled montages, I realize that it was the compromise which got me to this amazing Act II.

    This act almost feels like an end-of-life final lecture given by a great philosopher. The amazing thing is that we are being treated to subjects which are deep and meaningful but we get to see them through the lense of emotion rather than intellect. That is an amazing feat of narrative skill which is artfully supplemented by near perfect music editing and directing.

    This is nothing short of great art. It is touching and thoughtprovoking and it shines all the more brightly when compared to the emotional slop and writing hackery that poses for "modern media" in recent years.

    Thankyou! Thanks for treating me like an adult with your gift of a story rather than preaching to me like I am an immature child.

    What just happened!

    Honestly one should take a 5-minute breath after finishing this episode in order to grasp what just happened when seeing an animated top of the art series phenomenon that comes once in a decade.

    The depth of each character, the richness of this universe the visuals and the sound, yes the sounds are really second to none.

    When you thought you are already invested in every figure and generate the "right" feeling to them, then this episode enters and shattered it all and force you to cry and reinvest all from the beginning because everything is blown up to pieces.

    Right become wrong, villain become hero and friend become enemy. Amazingly this being done in a such way that all this chaos unrealistic script becomes the most beautiful logical human show to see.

    I really don't have anything to say except for lets wait for next week's explosion!

    • Trivia
      The stump with Vi and Powder's old height markers on it indicates that Viktor's commune is based in the depths of the canyon where Violet faced Silco in S1. You can also see the remnants of the building Vi knocked down to save herself and Caitlyn from his shimmer infused henchmen; the building that was once her home.
    • Quotes

      Vi: You know, my father taught me about trust. He told me if I wanted it, there were three things I needed to do: Be honest, even if it means telling a self-righteous windbag that her breath smells like a cesspool. Be patient. Mm, still haven't cracked that one, but being tied up sure helps.

      Ambessa: And the third?

      Vi: Just shut the fuck up.
