08/11/21 1 comments
Arcane is full of Easter Eggs and references to other Riot stories, besides many signals of what we are yet to see in the show. In this article you will be able to see some of these details.
Get Jinxed
release, the video that announced Jinx, we had the first three Arcane episodes yesterday. In the launching event, we had almost two million people watching live, in one of the biggest League of Legends events. The first three episodes are full of references to other stories set in the Runeterra universe, plenty of easter eggs and also a few foreshadowings (indicators of what we are yet to see). And, as it all points to, some characters' stories are being changed.Ad

. I won't include a summary of the episodes, but I will give context to some of the things that appear.1st Episode - Welcome to the Playground



Runeterra Incognium
, an invention from a scientist called Zindelo. This machine would be able to find any person in Runeterra, but as its creator disappeared, it wasn't finished and nowadays is decour. Ironically, the first act of Arcane is about finding the kids.

What to expect from the next episodes?
Vander
Vander has shown to be one of the most charismatic characters in the series, a man of high value that wants to protect his people. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of Silco. But did he? It is quite likely that he will return, but in another form. Knowing that Singed is around and that Silco has Vander's body with him, what we should see is the character becoming Warwick, The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun.
The Battle on the Bridge
Probably we are yet to see the best of Vander's story and passed between the two cities. But another important thing that might be revealed is that maybe Silco is responsible for the battle's turning point. Silco must have taken some extreme measure and provoked one of the groups, causing the fight, and that is why Vander tried to kill him.
Jayce and Viktor
The new partners probably will be now working together, already developing plenty of Hextech research. But, unfortunately, their friendship isn't forever. In the near future, both will fight and Jayce will have Viktor expelled from the Academy. That is their actual lore, but we might see a couple of changes that justify this expulsion better. This will lead the two of them to a fight. Probably already in the second arc we will see Viktor be expelled and starting his Glorious Evolution, and in the third we will see the climax of their story.Ad
Vi and Caitlyn
Caitlyn had a short appearance this season, which makes sense, since her story isn't focused on her childhood. But from the trailers we know that in the second act she is already acting as a police officer tracking down Jinx's crimes, and she will go after Vi, who is in jail. We will also be able to see how their relationship will flourish. Another possibility also is that we can see Caitlyn telling Vi why she became an officer, as it looks like we will not see her whole story animated.Ekko
Our little chronomancer is now completely alone: his friends are dead, arrested or missing and Benzo, his mentor, is dead. It is now that we will see Ekko becoming the inventor that he is, forming his own gang and making new friendships. Unfortunately, he will also suffer more losses, for example, his dearest Sumpsnipe ScavengerThe Signalizer
When Vi is leaving to rescue Vander, she leaves with Powder a signalizer so that they can meet always. This is a foreshadowing to how we will see their meeting and possibly the last one in the series and the most emotional. Get your tissues ready.Conclusion
