After three long years of waiting, this weekend the long-awaited moment that all of the fans were waiting for occurred. Arcanesince it has finally been released on Netflix on third and last act of the second season of this animated series based on the League of Legends universe. Its first season completely conquered viewers and the latest episodes that have been released during these weeks have not been left behind at all.
That itself has caused the expectation was through the roof for wanting to discover how this season was going to end, but also the series. On several occasions it has been warned that the story would not be longer, since the intention was to leave us with other adventures starring other groups of characters from Riot Games' MOBA, which are not especially few. In fact, even at some point it has been sensed where the shots may go when introducing factions like Noxus and the Black Rose.
Until then, we must first see the latest act that has been published and that It has been simply sublimewith a superb quality that has rarely been seen in a series of this type, hence between its plot, its characters, the combats and everything that happens in general, it has achieved an excellent combo in every sense. Without a doubt, it perfectly deserves the title of being one of the best animated series in recent years and also in history.
Everything that has happened so far
Note: here is a summary of everything that happened during the second act, so this part contains spoilers.
During the first act it was already clear that the war between Piltover and Zaun was imminent, something that began to be noticed as soon as the soldiers in the area above did not stop raising barriers and stopping each and every one of those below who were there. proclaimed followers of Jinx. This situation has generated all kinds of riots in the streets and chaos was constantwith Zaun citizens dying their hair blue.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn and Maddie have had a romance, which makes it clear that several weeks have passed since the previous act. In turn, the relationship between Ambessa and Caitlyn seems to be going better as the first acts as a trainer for the second so that she becomes an expert fighter and is not limited only to fighting with her sniper rifle without further ado, but also eats her head so that she tightens the controls and arrests even more. the inhabitants of Zaun.
In one of these raids they capture Isha, the little girl who was following Jinx everywhere, and Singed, who makes an appearance again to make it clear what he has been up to after so long. This leads him to cut his hand with a knife so that it begins to leave blood marks, which causes him to the creature you have given life to wakes up and set out in search of it with enormous ferocity.
The inhabitants of Zaun who had participated in this conflict are imprisoned, although Jinx comes to their rescue to free everyone. However, the fearsome creature ends up arriving at this place and tears apart all the Piltover guards without any mercy and begins to attack Jinx, at which point he begins to smell her and realizes that she was Powder in the past. All this because Vander had not died and it was Singed that kept him alive, transforming him into a devastating beast that in the video game is known as Warwick.
After this brutal fight, Singed remains in jail and that is when are partnership with Ambessa, which we already told you about recently. For her part, Jinx goes to look for Vi to show her that Vander is really still alive, so they both go with him to a shelter that Viktor has built in Zaun. This is because His powers have been exponentially enhanced. and now he is like some kind of messiah who heals all the people who come to this peaceful place, where Vander is expected to return to normal.
However, Ambessa and his army want to take control of Vander, so they invade this place without any contemplation. Things soon go awry when the Piltover Army takes control, causing Caitlyn to realize that Ambessa is untrustworthy and team up with Vi and Jinx again. This leads to a fierce battle which ends the life of Rictus, Ambessa's right-hand man, but also that of Isha, who makes everything fly into the air with a hextech gem that she activates with a gun.
In addition to all this, Jayce has managed to escape from the hextech core looking quite haggard, with a different hammer and the hextech gem he was wearing on his wristband has fused with his body. For some reason, it seems that he has gone crazy and the first thing he does is massacre Salo by crushing her skull and then he goes to where Viktor is convinced that everything he is doing must disappear completely, so he does not hesitate to shoot to his old friend by making a hole in his entire chest.
An unforgettable ending that has exceeded expectations
Note: this part focuses on the newly released third act and is spoiler-free.
After everything that happened too many fronts had been left open and countless questions that had to be answered. Knowing that there were only three chapters left and that this was the last season, it was normal to think that the plot was going to activate the turbo a lot so that there would be time to tell everything and not leave anything in the air, because the story was going to come to an end. its final point and if any front was left open it could have caused viewers to think that we would see something related to Piltover and Zaun again.
The good news is that this third act is a definitive ending. Maybe the one They rushed so much with certain parts of the plot It has weighed a little against it due to the speed at which certain aspects have been narrated that perhaps it would have been a better idea to dedicate a little more time to them. Even so, it is not that it is a particularly negative aspect, because everything that happens is perfectly understood and having paid attention to all the events it is impossible not to find out what is happening.
The first two episodes of this act try to establish the path a little of everything that will be produced in the last of this batch. Until that moment, all the important questions of all the characters whose plots had been left in the air, such as that of Ekko, Heimerdinger or Mel, are answered, although they are not the only ones. It is something that I loved because in other series there are details that are not completely clear or remain up in the air, leaving the viewers themselves to imagine what is going to happen next, but that happens here .
Episode 7 of this season is perfectly one of the best of the entire series in general for how it gives so much prominence to some of the characters who had gone into the background, with brilliant and emotional scenes capable of showing another point of view of how things could have been if they had occurred differently. It's one of those episodes that the slightest bit of affection for these champions will make you want to see it more than once.
That same feeling is what the last chapter left me, in which it is not spoiling any surprise to say that it focuses on the final battle. The 50 minutes it lasts go by in just a breath and they are scenes that are difficult to look away from. Everything happens at such an amazing pace and with a quality worthy of taking your hat off that once again you forget that you are watching an animated series, because everything that is shown on the screen is crazy and how it is capable of transmitting so many sensations to you. different without stopping.
The third act is not without script twists one of those that leave you with your mouth open and even reveals some huge surprises that are related to the first season, so you will need to have a good memory or consult a good summary to remember depending on what things and thus better understand the bombshells that take place. Furthermore, absolutely each and every one of the characters has their share of prominence and even their moments of glory that it would be incredible if you were indifferent to them.
The truth is that all the praise that the series has received is no wonder and no exaggeration either. He has shown in just two seasons how to tell a story that leaves an indelible mark on your memory. It could have been extended for more seasons, but for what? It has not been missed in any way and it is better that it does not try to follow the example of other productions that give the impression that they go on longer than necessary and sometimes unnecessarily, causing that sometimes they do not know how to give a decent closure or that they are the height.
Instead, with Arcane It has been achieved perfectly. It leaves you with complete satisfaction of how Riot Games and Fortiche have known how to do their homework so extremely well that they have managed to create what can undoubtedly be considered as one of the best animated series in all of history. I have no idea if future productions of this universe will be as good or not, but at least I can only be grateful for having been able to enjoy such a show with a group of characters that does not matter if they are good or bad. bad, because they are all so well created and designed that you never notice anything about any of them, as well as none of their chapters that have set the bar at such an enormously high height that it will be difficult to see anything like it again.
