Pretend Like It's the First Time

You are light that brightens my world you are my sunshine my only sunshine you make happy when skies are grey. Watching you in these moments was like time itself stopped moving with every graceful step. You're the heartbeat of Zaun, a living legend, and you made me believe in the impossible. Ekko, you're not just a fighter-you're a miracle in motion. In that moment, time itself bowed to you. Every move was perfect, every strike carried the weight of Zaun's hopes. Watching you in the end was like seeing a star collapse and explode all at once-beautiful, unstoppable, overwhelming. Every move you made felt like it wasn't just skill; it was destiny. You don't just fight-you breathe purpose. It's maddening how someone can carry that much fire and still burn brighter every second. You're not just a hero-you're everything. I can't stop thinking about you.

Ill keep it short. I really really enjoyed this episode because, arguably for the first time this season, the story of this episode is focused and relatively simple to follow.

That creates space to breath. And, importantly, space to focus on the characters themselves instead of the plot developments. This season has been hectic and chaotic and, while incredibly awesome, it has left me personally little space to really emotionally connect in new ways. I still got emotional, but mostly on emotional currency build in season 1.

This episode creates space for that and essentially creates new emotional currency to spend later on (or in this same episode).

God damn, I cant take and more of these heartbreaking and emotional rides, that are designed to try and breake me apart in every possible way!

This episode was yet another masterpiece that felt line qn amazing and well thought out way to continue from the previous episode! A lot of the things that felt more vague, are elaborated even more with this episode!

This episode made me realize just how cruel this world is! Seeing an alternate version of how everything could have been, litterally broke me into a thousand pieces! This was art, emotions and feelings conveyed in such a beautifull way! Never have a seen something so beautifull before!

Within just a single episode, Ekko become one of the best written characters in the show! He solidefied himself as The Boy Savior, and put everyone before himself! His journey was both heartwarming and heartbreaking, as he realized he had to leave something wonderfull behind, to protect those he cares about! That scene with him and Powder... absolutely beautifull!

The finale act does not hold back!

Won't even kid this might be the best episode of television I've ever seen. I'm no snob and I probably haven't watched enough for that claim to have any actual weight but for real this episode is perfectly executed and beautiful. No matter who you are, you have to acknowledge that love is at the very core of everything we are as human beings, and this episode is the pure embodiment of that concept to me. Every single aspect brings together this heartwarming and heartbreaking story of a love that never was. The music is some of the best to come out of this show, and the animation is gorgeous as usual, but certain painted backgrounds and stylized sections of animation are especially worthy of praise here. Even though I agree with some folks that the episodes after this had a few fails, I seriously think that the experience this single episode gives a viewer is, on its own, enough of a reason for the entire show to exist.

After the tragedy of Episode 6, I kind of felt it wouldn't get any better, but Episode 7 is fricking mind-blowing, and I understand what they're trying to do now.

The animation quality in this episode remains top-notch, with more light and vibrant colors, which makes it really different from what we've seen before. It truly feels like living in a different world, especially in the cinematography during the scene with Jayce and with hextech.

I was really skeptical about how they were going to end this show, but after this episode, I'm thrilled to see how it goes. This show is truly an artistic masterpiece.
