“I had a crush… until you started talking to the gun.” Ekko to Jinx.
😭😭😭😭😭
I always looked at it as, him wanting to do the whole fight over again without damaging the mural, which is why he took a breath before the mural got fixed up again.
That makes the most sense! He clearly holds that mural dear to him especially if it has the same meaning as in arcane! Ty for watching :)
@@georgieegames the boy in the mural was his friend, there is a comic about his death and how Ekko wasn't able to save him despite ~200 tries
@@yureigray5561 Yeah Arcane definitely played into it with the Mural and Clagger. So much of what Arcane is is the same as all these old video's but just a bit different. Like the when and how of characters getting things or fighting for the first time might be different but the overall is still the same.
VI will almost certainly still end up an Enforcer but the feeling of it will definitely be different thanks to the story being more fleshed out and focused on being an actual story.
Despite being able to undo physical effects on his body, Ekko retains some residual effects over the rewind, including physical pain and mental fatigue. His cognitive age does not change over the course of rewinding
Oh I see! Yeah that did come across in the video but makes sense! I find that intriguing though as I think it really humanises his abilities! Thanks for watching :)
@@georgieegames yeah while Ekko still sustains some damage during the rewind he can learn from his mistakes because his mind is not rewinded -but his body position and everything else (excerpt for the enemy in the game but here in the teaser he also rewinded the enemy's body as well). If you look closely to the rewinding device (z-drive), you can recognize the container already in Arcane - Ekko kept the gemstone in it ^^. I suppose Heimerdinger will help him developing the rest of the z-drive :D
You are absolutely right about Ekko being a foil to Jinx - he is the path Powder could have chosen if she didn't jump into Silco's arms and get influenced by him. When they meet at the bridge, Jinx says to Ekko "Oh look who it is...the BOY SAVIOUR" in a bitter and mocking way. I was wondering if there is more to it and it turns outr yes! We will most likely see it in the next season or maybe they tell this in a music video like they did with enemy (but I think this is far too important as to just clip it in a separate video...)
See te confirmation/comment of the writers here:

There is a quite sad but also very wholesome story for Ekko on the league universe page. In it his hard working, poorly payed parents come home from their dangerous and hazardous job in the mines with a little surprise gift. They saved some of the little money they make to buy a sweet cake for his birthday, which he himself totally forgot. He rehearced all day the way he would tell them that he didn't want to apply to a piltovan school, even so his parents want him to have a better life than they have with his bright intellect (similar to Victor's and Skye's story. Piltover's academy does seem to give chances to talented young Zaunites ... funny, in Arcane the academy in form of Heimerdinger came to him hahaha).
He wants to share his little cake with them, but they lie that they already ate a tasty meal at work. Then he helps them take off their shoes, while they break down into their chairs, completely exhausted from the straining work. Already half asleep his mom calls him their little genius, while his dad tousles through his mohawk.
He watches them sleep and notices how much faster they aged under their working conditions. He couldn't bring himself to tell them about his plans and shatter their dream of a better future for him in the upper city.
He then turns back time to the moment his parents arrived at home and starts the conversation again. Then again. And again. Wishing this moment could last forever, he doesn't change a single thing, until he is too exhausted to continue and falls asleep aswell. Just making the most out of every given moment and cherishing the rare time he can spend with his family, Ekko really takes his own words to heart.
In Arcane it's left unclear if his parents are still alive. As for the league cannon with Renata Glasc's release, it has been confirmed again, that his parents are still alive, working in the mines.
Since all in Arcane is about family, I'd be surprised if they were revealed to be dead in season 2. The authors do seem to want them be his core motivation to change Zaun for the better, instead of being just a revenge driven orphan, who wants to defeat an evil opressor with his friends.
It's like Vi without Powder, leaving out a character's core drive changes them completely, but Arcane Ekko is too similar to league Ekko, for his back story to be much different.
He felt really cool when he first entered the game! His ultimate ability was to go back in time. When the ultimate is available, you can see your past self following the path you took up to 6 seconds ago!! When he goes back he gets some health back :)
I LOVE his ultimate ability its so cool! I really wanna try to play him in the game and see how that works as the mechanic is so interesting to me! EKKO IS THE BESTTTT
Your vids are always a pleasure:) keep it up!
really late reply but it's actually 4 seconds.
Literally share the same exact mindset. To fill the void, I’m soaking up as much Riot/Runeterra content that I can.
I’m disappointed though, that I haven’t seen Arcane merch anywhere yet. I figured I’d find some things at FYE or Hot Topic by now.
Its SUCH GOOD STUFF AS WELL! Really helps while I am waiting for season 2 of arcane haha! RIGHT! I havent seen much either but I did buy the arcane skins in fortnite when they dropped 😅
Ekko becomes a plot device if he gets the Z-Drive, and his “sword”, he was already top tier fighter without his complete kit. If he does get it, it will be closer to the end of the season.
Though they could also put it at the start and just make him a much bigger character. His newfound powers warping the story along with the heightened power levels of everyone else due to conflict.
I wouldn’t mind your idea at all, but I assume the story will remain centralized around Vi & Jinx. That being said if they introduce a strong enough outside conflict (like Noxus or Renata & her organization) it would make Ekko need to act instead of playing along the edges. Really hoping for it to be cut between two perspectives again, Vi & Cait vs Jinx & Ekko
Ekkos lore makes him my favorite character with him using hextech in Zaun which is extremely rare in Zaun and using it to try to save the people he loves is awesome! Even if he fails he just keeps trying no matter how tiring it can be and how much he has to suffer through
Oh and I love this cinematic so much! How we see him being extremely observant to find his opponents weaknesses and to try and figure out the best path to take them down!
And I kinda like to think that the pain he suffers from using his z-drive is all mental. It just feels like it hurts because he just experienced it. Like he might have broken a leg and then z-drive back but the leg would feel between broken and fine because it’s not like the z-drive erases his memories. He still has that memory of feeling the pain a few seconds ago and it’s not gonna disappear instantly. That’s why he can keep doing this though because it would just take bit for his body to realize that it’s not broken anymore.
So glad you reacted! Can't wait to see what's next
ITS SO GOOOOOD! AH I am glad I did too! Loved this one :) thanks for watching :)
if you want ekko time travel angst and one of the best written stories in the league of legends narrative, check out his stories on universe : )
you said something about "imagine the potential for arcane" well it already happened when he fought jinx, thats why that scene was the way it was edited, its the whole fight with them as kids and grow ups edited then it reversed at the ekko clock so he knows everything about the fight and win it
Can you imagine it in Arcane? It was in arcane!! Look at your favorite scene once again you will see.
compered to whats in the rest of runeterra piltover and zaun champions like ekko are quite low on the power scale cause 99.9% of them are mostly human. If you wanna see power go to something like frejliord , Targon or the Shadow isles... Even Swain from Noxus can propably kill everyone you've seen in arcane without breaking a sweat! xD
Wdym "even"? The man is a fucking unit
@@TOBY-jy7bz Sure but he was being compared to characters who fight literal gods, or those literal gods. He's got his whole demon hand sure but its his military might that makes him truly scary. One on One he's pretty mid.
My boy Ekko 💙
you want to deep dive into the lore? check the universe of league webpage and read champions bios, stories, light novels, comics. You could do reaction/review videos on them. I recommend starting with the Runeterra interactive map
Great idea! I think I may do this :) tysm for the suggestion and for watching!
Your reactions are the best
Thats too niceee awwww thanks for watching
Ekko is like PRINCE OF PERSIA : SANDS OF TIME, . . . . . in the real clash, he is predictable just stand where he used that skill and its all right 😆😆😆
Ohhh thats a great comparison! I like how he isn't super buffed using the skill as well! Is such a good video! tysm for watching :)
Love your reactions of lol
Omg tysm 🥰 i love making them haha
Ekko with his time abilities in arcane would be godlike
The saddest Ekko story is a short story that can be found on the league universe page; It's Ekko trying ti save his dying friend, Ekko is far away when his friend gets hurt and no matter how many times Ekko tries to rewind, no matter what path he chooses he can never get there fast enough and so he is forced to watch his friend die iver and over and over again. THIS POOR BOY BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH
Oh awwwwww :( thank makes me so sad. I will go have a read! I love ekko, he deserves SO much :( thanks for watching
chronobreak...
Would you like to react to Tarzan The Fearless on CZcams?
Oh what is it? :)
@@georgieegames a movie
:)
Ekko was probably the only gross inaccuracy of Arcane, bearing minimal resemblance in methodology and outward disposition to his game counterpart.
please do not get into League of legends because you watched arcane
I do not mean that in a gatekeeping way. LoL has ruined way too many lives. unhappy people staring at a screen with nothing but rage, bald kids with severe mental issues, grown adults actually shitting themselves live on camera etc. please dont do this to yourself. (jokes aside, cool video!)
I would like to try league of legends as a gamer tbh not just because I watched arcane. I love playing games and trying new things and I have friends who also are wanting to give LOL a try! I have heard about the toxicity but unforts a lot of games do have this. I will be careful :) thanks for the warning and for watching though, i do appeciate it :)
It's not the game itself that does this. It not a curse or a drug.
If it's not LOL, those people would just find something else that would make them act that way.
The problem lies within these people.
With any large game yes there are toxic people you will encounter. Yes there are also people who get frustrated Over ranked games etc but those are people who can’t handle losing gracefully. That’s not a problem she’s guaranteed to have.
@@chipstarshine8150 oh sweet summer child
@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 speaking from personal exprience its definently lol.
the problem with the game is not only the fact that its a team game; so even if you play perfectly your teammates can mess you up) its also the fact that dying actively makes the enmy stronger, unlike a shooter where if you are really good you can be an active force no matter what. adding on to this there is an entire role designed to overwhelm each lane (the jungle) which makes people really angry since it makes it feel like there was no counterplay even if there was. there is also the risk of playing against hyper carries and counters. some champions get hard countered by certain other champions and that is alright since the game wouldnt be balanced otherwise but certain champions literally cannot play against other champions which makes people even more triggered (for example facing an adc in the top lane or playing xerath against zed) AND adding on even more salt some of these counter characters are by design supposed to snowball out of control and even if said character does win early they can stall till late and win the game even if you went 20/0 league is a triggering game by design. if you need more proof just play a diffrent game and see if you get flamed every two seconds for "feeding" when you are 5/3
I have realised that this is alot of text and very annoying to read so you dont need to read it lmao. go outside with the time you would use to read this abomination
Well he's actually going back in time so reverts the physical damage too but it's still mentally traumatizing so he physically reacts like he's in pain
