Some of the more tragic conclusions centered aroundArcane’sLeague of Legendschampionslike Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Viktor.

Jinx removes one ofArcane’s Hextech Coresfrom Vi’s powerful gauntlets, causing it to drop Jinx and Vander.
Without Ekko, Viktor may not have been defeated.
All of this proves how every single character and storyline orbits Jinx inArcane.
Set in the League of Legends universe, Arcane focuses on sisters Violet and Powder (later Jinx) as they end up on opposite sides of a growing conflict between the wealthy utopia of Piltover and its dark undercity whose citizens wish to break away from their oppressors. Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell, and Kevin Alejandro star in this animated adventure.
However, this makes sense when viewingArcanethrough the aforementioned lens: the show surrounded Jinx.
Jinx was the entire reasonArcaneand its many stories existed, but she is now gone.
Jinx’s story has ended and, given how inextricably bound this was toArcane, the show has too.
Although the decision to endArcanewith season 2 was initially incredibly disappointing to many, it now makes thematic sense.
Spin-offs can be told, butArcaneand Jinx remain secured together for eternity now that both are no more.
Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell, and Kevin Alejandro star in this animated adventure.
