Ekko was playing life is strange the part on the rooftop with Kate 😭 but in all seriousness it was sad seeing Jinx trying to end it over and over again during this part💔
I think Jinx stopped to listen when he said “always a dance with you” because she felt seen. Everything IS always a dance with her, it’s her personality, and Ekko knew that from his time with alternate Powder.
Regarding what we didn't see, I'm of the opinion he did the same thing he did for her in the alternate world. Ask if he could make a painting. He could have even used his time machine device to see how she'd react to who she wanted painted. Ultimately it would end on Silco… Happy. I think after seeing that it would help pull her out of her dark place and put her on a path to helping.
I love jinx and she is alive no matter wat ppl say Ik I’m drunk but shit she a live bc there was a psychotic break or a glitch of her at the end so she is alive trust me!
Props to this dude for not twisting his dialog to void the word suicide. It's not a good thing, but the word exists for a reason and has meaning that shouldn't be shouldn't hidden from society.
To jinx it looks like every time she's almost about to pull the pin Ekko keeps taking damage. (this looks to her as he has steam and blueish plasma lingering off of him and his wounds get worse and his face paint get blown away bit by bit), she even looks at his blood dropping down at one point.
She could have dismissed it as probably that new gadget on his back, she wasn't really interested in that yet and just wanted to die.
Throughout, this tiny interaction u can see jinx looking at his gadget every time he rewinds time, probably putting the pieces together that when she gets the urge to pull the pin Ekko's All exhausted and glowing with steam and plasma and the z drive making Noise. and one time even sitting down to catch his breath.
And when he says that he wants to try talking a friend out of blowing us up, she wants to tell him "I'm tired of talking" and jump, in order to not hurt him, she didn't realize she could hurt Ekko before the he mentioned that. That could tell where her mind was more focused on.
She couldn't care too much in that state about Z drive Ekko or his blood or that steam and plasma coming, what she wanted most was to end the cycle. Thats why she didn't bother too much about all the weird things she was seeing.
So, continuing, before she could reply and tell him "I am tired of talking", Ekko starts talks first.
When Ekko says "I've learnt from someone very special – this grabs her attention, coz she knows he's probably talking about her (he was talking about alternate universe powder, in a way it's still her)
he goes on to say, "it's never too late to build something new", then jinx sees his new z drive spinning, she notices the monkey toys spinning in them (her signature toy as a kid). Ekko notices that she noticed his invention.
Then he says, "someone worth building it for". Jinx don't know what he means by that exactly but all she can understand when she puts it all together is that "the someone who it is worth building it for is probably herself". coz she sees the monkey toys in them.
(jinx then ever so slightly shrugs back after he says that almost as if to say, " you really mean that?")
EKKO'S MEANING BEHIND HIS WORDS
Ekko: I learnt from someone very special, that no matter what happened in the past, it's never too late to build something new.
(here Ekko is talking about alternate universe powder who was very special to him, and that they built something new like the z drive, regardless of his past where he gave up on powder/jinx and Zaun)
Then Ekko adds: Someone worth building it for
(What he means is that he built that z drive or whatever, along with Heimerdinger's big upgrade for the jinx of his own universe and that she was worth leaving the alternate universe where everything was so beautiful) (he even wanted to stay back, asking powder if he could only live in one moment, but powder tells him taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind, which he told her when he saw her wasted potential in the alternate universe – coz the jinx of his own universe although is crazy she is a huge revolutionary figure, and not just some girl helping in a bar and helping and other peoples projects)
ALSO, THE CO CREATORS OF ARCANE SAID
There is a deleted scene where Ekko lets jinx know that there is this version of powder who is not broken, without actually telling her, but make her believe that from her own heart, that she can feel it.
Thanks for reading! Drop a like if u found this helpful.
its not 5 times. the first time we see him, he in surrounded by hextech particles. This means that this isnt the actual first time this happened. For all we know, the "1st" time could very well have been the 100th time.
Imagine Ekko didn't leave the alternate world. He really came in clutch in the last 2 episodes of the show. Saved Jinx then the whole cast a few times over. Dude gave up happiness for the sake of others. I think he has the best clutch to screentime ratio in the show.
OMG @2:34 she notices the toy monkeys in Ekkos device. She knew she somehow helped him build it and he wasn't full of shit. This is the best scene in the show by a country mile.
"When bro sends 'thanks for everythibg' at 3am" vibes.
1:27, 1:47, 2:14

is there a version without the subtitles
Does her tear-smudged makeup spell VI backwards?

Ekko playing Life is Strange while Jayce was playing Elden Ring
Rewinding time to save someone from commiting suicide, that reminds me a game…
KATE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR FAMILY I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYY
ekko probably: nooo don't kill yourself your so sexy aha
the song is so fitting though, well many arcane songs are with each scene but this one hit especially hard
I love jinx and she is alive no matter wat ppl say Ik I’m drunk but shit she a live bc there was a psychotic break or a glitch of her at the end so she is alive trust me!
Not fair, EKKO IS SAVESCUMMING😂

I'll get off my soap box now
Real savior boy now, huh
okay maybe im just pretending things are there when they arnt. but Jinxs run mascara on her left cheek is Vi backwards
Ekko is here save scumming lol
JINX POV EXPLAINED

Vander's teeth on jinx's reflection
Maybe post some more spoilers in the title…
Im surprised the bomb killed her seeing as throughout the show those things barely stung most of the time.
Wut episode was this from?
And vi is at the other end doing the zumba with Caitlyn all the while knowing the pain jinx is in
my boy ekko is the mvp
No1 realized she cut her hair?
Each Episode, i always Cry For Jinx. There is times, when she cry and becomes Evil, but i don't hated her.
0:29 is this urine
0:55 the shards ressembling Warwick/Vander's jaw was the cherry on top…
I like how much work and detail they put, at 1:47 you can actually bones in her arm from the explosion.
Would've loved if he tried "Am I interrupting?" at some point.
Ekko not giving up on Jinx is a big W
Jimx has VI on her eye. Even in suicide she cares for her. And also shown as IV aka roman 4…the 4 seconds ekko can rewind
I respect his commitment to his first love
From what I have read and been told it is also spooky how accurate it is for such a situation. (Dialogue, emotion, action)
Ekko has mad talk no jutsu…Naruto would be proud
0:55 if you notice the glass pieces around jinx's face are warwick's teeth. That is just so cool
i would literally pay for this interaction of ekko and jinx to be longer man
its not 5 times. the first time we see him, he in surrounded by hextech particles. This means that this isnt the actual first time this happened. For all we know, the "1st" time could very well have been the 100th time.

Life is Strange vibes, trying all the different dialogue options to get the desired ending
02:36 there are monkeys in Ekko's time machine, definitely added by Powder. Could Jinx notice them and have a slightest idea where had Ekko come from?
League of "Ekko"
Ekko playing Life Is Strange irl. Fun fact: every time Jinx blows herself up, Ekko's face paint burns out more and more.
OMG @2:34 she notices the toy monkeys in Ekkos device. She knew she somehow helped him build it and he wasn't full of shit. This is the best scene in the show by a country mile.
One of my favorite scenes, the music is incredible, this series is the best of the Year.
I don't understand why Riot cut out this part where they confess their love.
Why is sui**dal jinx is so hot?
I swear why do they always have to ruin the clip with words
jinx will remember that.
