@Yol Riin Lask the only cringe here is you
@@hunternot you all cringe like what h like and let ppl be
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'.
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".
shen was actually the first k/da member change my mind
nah, he was the manager he pitched it to Akali.
He was apart of the special effects department
Akali and the Kid almost getting killed
Shen : ah, yes. Natural Selection

@Amirus I agree with you, because to be fair, it takes a very high IQ to understand Tales of Runeterra: Ionia. People making jokes without taking these videos seriously.. smh
@@MrTalkingCorn maybe cause its a joke
Shen was like: "Guess the kid just have to die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
It's the kid fault tho
Akali: _saves kid_
Shen: All part of the plan
to be fair when he showed akali the spirit realm thing the seeds where glowing. That could have been a clue but she rush to fight
If you see the video a second time, you can see Shen tries to tell Akali but she rush to fight.

Shen is basically Kuai Liang (Sub-Zero) from Mortal Kombat.
He is a wise leader and teacher. He does not love nor hate. Not good but, not bad either. He's always staying neutral.
He only acts when his duty wills it.

@@mihaipopescu5104 No, no. He's got a point..
I just realized after finishing Arcane, the animation here is very similar. Riot, please make a series about Ionia next 🥺
Of course it's similar, it's made by the same animation studio. And yes I agree, would love an Ionian animation. From what I hear Arcane season 2 might involve noxus and I'm guessing season 3 might be the noxian invasion on ionia...but keep in mind, those are just rumours for now.
@@severedproxy well, except it's not. Arcane is made by Fortiche Prod. Tales of Runeterra is made by Axis studio.
@@TankCowIvan art direction and how the animation would look is depending on riot so of course its gonna look pretty much the same
Better yet, have episodes of _Arcane_ set in Ionia.
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 is an actual badass in this
How? He was willing to let a kid die😂
@digimonalvatrax2738 balance must be upheld. My man also was testing and educating both akali and the kid.
Sometimes, in life, if you fail a test you die.
Akali: Cant we just bend the rules He's a kid
Shen: No He's UNBALANCED
xDDD
Like yi
I wish Riot would take that stance in their champion design.
i really like akalis characterization here, the way that shes willing to disobey shen to do what she personally thinks is right. even going so far to give her life to protect a noxian.
That’s why both zed and akali turned out the way they did. The kinkuo wouldn’t do that, even with the death of their own people
She didn't disobey him. Shen didn't want the kid to die. He wanted Akali to use her brain and stop instantly resorting to violence. That's why this video is called "the lesson". Anyways, this is the first time they actually showed us the true Akali instead of the out of character and hateful in-game voice lines. We only needed her OG voice actress and this would be perfect.
@@drixcek9782 Zed left the order because Kinkou does not interfere in actions that don't involve balancing the scales and spirit realm. Even Kusho, Shen's father in the end abandoned order leaving shen behind. Akali on the other hand left the order because she has very independent nature, and she's not willing to listen to any orders.
2:50 "send itachi sushi"
Plot twist : Shen is actually the camera man for KDA video
exactly my thoughts hehe
Nah, he's lead of the VFX department XD
XD
@Yol Riin Lask Yeah cuz the Shen vision reminds them of KDA
how is that a plot twist?
Akali was trying her best to save that child while Shen went
“Guess everyone will die today ( \ OvO)/“
What is this game
I think Shen knew Akali would figure it out. If Akali would have been killed that would have tipped the scales to the other side, trading two lives for one, Akali found another way to bring balance.
