Anime Anonymous joins us again this time for Arcane Season 2. We argue whether the multiverse pivot actually helps the story, untangling Jinx as a whole, and where Shimmer and Ekko’s rewind fit into that not to mention the mixed feelings that we have on Vi and Jayce and get into a full debate over Ambessa plus a couple of fan-theory rabbit holes like Jinx’s likely escape, Heimerdinger futures the whole “no body = not dead” deal. We also compare S1 pacing to S2’s choppier but more satisfying structure, call out the intro Easter eggs. Plus a whole lot more.


Next Up: Solo Leveling Season 2

Show Synopsis

Picking up immediately after Jinx's rocket attack on the Piltover council, Season 2 plunges the twin cities into open war. Jinx's act of terror kills Caitlyn's mother, forging Caitlyn into a hardened, revenge-driven military leader, while Vi, torn between her love for Caitlyn and her desperate hope of saving her sister, joins the Enforcers to try and mitigate the conflict between Piltover and Zaun. As the war escalates, it's revealed that Vi and Jinx's adoptive father, Vander, has been monstrously resurrected as the beast Warwick, forcing a devastating family confrontation. The central conflict ultimately shifts as Viktor's "Glorious Evolution" becomes an existential threat to both cities, forcing an uneasy alliance.
