    You know it just occurred to me so long after watching this originally, Shen simply said 'The balance must be returned'. He didn't state how, and Akali just assumed 'Kill the child'.

    • @faceless8424
      @faceless8424 Před 2 lety +141

      Yeah that's the whole point. Shen was trying to teach a lesson to the impulsive Akali. You can even see how Akali panics when she realizes that her mindless use of force without analyzing the situation nearly got the kid killed. It's basically a Kinkou training of "using force only as a last resort".

  • @SiddoSnow
    @SiddoSnow Před rokem +32

    I think an important part of restoring the balance, as Shen speaks of it, is not just in planting the sapling and restoring life to the forest for the life that was taken from it. The boy's selfish act was also balanced out by Akali's selfless defense of the child.
    You could definitely argue that it's for the drama. That it's just how it panned out, saplings take time to grow, etc. etc. - but the sprout was not a smol boi. That was a full twig in like a second - and it only started to grow after Akali's (attempted) self-sacrifice in shielding the boy.

    Shen gives Akali his sight too see the seeds that need to be planted to return balance, Shen thinks that Akali sees them (she even glances at them a few times) before she rushes in to attack. He was trying to teach Akali and the kid a lesson about balance, he didn't want the kid to die. When he tells Akali that "the balance must be returned" he wasn't talking about the kid dying, he was indirectly telling her to plant the seed to return balance

      I think it's more, there's more than one way to restore balance. When 2=2, but 1>2, you can either subtract from 2, or add to 1, to restore balance. The guardian was going to subtract, Akali added just in time. Shen was totally fine with the kid dying, as he is the eye of twilight. But akali being young and impressionable, took actions into her own hands.

    I think a good chunk of the comments are missing the point. Shen has always sought to curb Akali's aggression, considering their duty as the Kinkuo is to remain as servants of balance, and not to allow emotions to temper with their verdict. Akali resorted to violence both against the child and against the guardian before realizing the guardian can be simply appeased with a simple offering.
    Then again Riot nailed how Akali players are perfectly.

    "See as I see."
    Looks like after watching K/DA's mv, that's how Shen sees Akali. Good to know.

    Can we just appreciate the art, and theme of the spirit blossom event, man the gameplay was so sick, and definitely fit summer.

    Outside of all the puns, this is a very strong cinematic it reflects the world in real life hence Akali saying "Hurt the land it will hurt you back". kudos to Riot

    Anyone notice that Akali's tattoos aren't complete yet like we see in game when she's older? I thought that was pretty cool.

      Most of the Legends of Runeterra cinematics happened in the past. Which explains skinny Garen or Jinx without her new weapons.
