The official trailer for Netflix’s Arcane Season 2 dropped less than a week ago, and it’s still lingering in our minds because, despite lasting only a few minutes, it paints a vivid picture of what we can expect in November. It’s very intriguing to see how some of our burning questions from the end of season 1 are seemingly answered (though not completely), such as:
Fate of Jinx, Vi, and the Council
The first season ended with a major cliffhanger as Jinx unleashed a rocket at the Piltover Council while they were voting on peace. The trailer could hint at the consequences of this attack. Did the Council survive? How will this event shape the future of Piltover and the relationship between Jinx and Vi?
Based on the details shown, it seems that certain members of the Piltover Council made it through, but we haven’t caught a glimpse of Mel Medarda yet. Even more significant is that the trailer indicated that a singular action sets off a chain of events that pushes everyone towards an inevitable war with no way to avoid it.
Political Fallout and War
The tension between Piltover and Zaun is at an all-time high. Will the trailer suggest a full-scale war between the two cities? Will political factions emerge within Piltover, further complicating the situation?
It seems like martial law has been implemented, and it’s not just Piltover and Zaun who are impacted; even Noxus is involved. There’s a possibility that other nations might also join the conflict, potentially escalating it into a full-scale war.
The Direction of Vi and Caitlyn’s Relationship
Vi and Caitlyn’s bond is central to the story, but their relationship is filled with tension and potential romantic undertones. Will their alliance strengthen or fracture under the weight of the upcoming conflicts?
Based on the start of the trailer, it seems that Vi and Caitlyn will ultimately join forces, but not before facing significant challenges. For instance, Vi appears to dye her hair black and find herself in a fighting pit, which could serve as pivotal moments that define their characters and allegiances in season 2.
The Evolution of Jinx
Jinx’s transformation into her chaotic self was one of the main story arcs of Season 1. Season 2’s trailer could explore how far into madness she’s descended and what havoc she plans to unleash next. Will there be any hope for her redemption?
The portrayal of Jinx in the trailer is quite contradictory. On one hand, she appears to be embracing chaos; on the other hand, she is depicted as a heroic figure in a mural. Additionally, it seems that Silco’s former allies have rallied around her, as evidenced by Sevika’s seeming support for her and Jinx-looking fanatics in some scenes. It’s clear that Jinx has no intention of veering away from the path of war, as she explicitly states in the trailer that she desires to “watch everything burn.”
Silco’s Legacy and the Fate of Zaun
With Silco’s death, Zaun is left without a leader. Who will step up to lead the undercity, and will Zaun push for independence or fall into chaos? Will the trailer reveal new power struggles within Zaun?
The citizens of Zaun appear to view Jinx as a figure of leadership and symbolism, which is evident from the mural depicting her. Currently, there doesn’t seem to be a more suitable alternative for Zaun. The central question revolves around Jinx’s ability to manage these expectations, considering that she doesn’t naturally embody the qualities of a leader like Vi or Caitlyn.
Jayce’s Role and Piltover’s Future
Jayce is one of the most powerful figures in Piltover, and his vision for Hextech shaped much of the city’s direction. How will the attack on the Council influence his role in Piltover? Will he continue as a leader or take more drastic measures to secure peace?
After the attack, Jayce seems to have stepped back, and there’s a possibility that he could be held responsible and arrested. Given his prominent role in Hextech’s development, it’s conceivable that he could be linked to some of the unusual occurrences witnessed in the latter part of the trailer.
Heimerdinger and Ekko’s Collaboration
The Season 1 finale hinted at a possible alliance between Heimerdinger and Ekko. Will the trailer reveal more about what this partnership might achieve? Could they play a key role in repairing or furthering the divide between Piltover and Zaun?
It’s quite challenging to determine, but we can observe a few scenes featuring Heimerdinger and Ekko in action. Nevertheless, it’s difficult to ascertain whether they are aligned with any particular faction or if they are the ones being targeted in those scenes.
Magic and Hextech Evolution
Hextech is already changing the world, but will Season 2 explore new forms of magic or Hextech advancements? The trailer could hint at the next technological evolution or a new magical threat that could shift the balance of power.
In the upcoming events, we will delve into the mysterious aspects of the storyline, emphasized by the intriguing statement, “The Arcane is awakening.” We will uncover the true significance behind the series’ title and understand how the characters’ choices, investigations, and endeavors in both seasons culminate in a significant revelation.
