His Fate and Meaning Explained

Notice! This article contains spoilers for Arcane Season 2.

The fate that befell Jinx in Arcane the second season proves that it is the true central point of the series’ entire story. The end of Arcane Season 2 wrapped up several storylines that began in Season 1, in both tragic and open-ended ways. Some of the most tragic conclusions revolved around Arcaneof League of Legends champions like Heimerdinger, Jayce and Viktor. Heimerdinger sacrificed himself to send Ekko back to his place in time, while Jayce and Viktor were sacrificed to save Piltover from a desolate future caused by the latter’s ambitions of glorious evolution.

While Viktor, aligned with Ambessa and Singed, fought for his desired future that lacked the human emotions that cause death, suffering and war, Arcanethe other characters were facing them. Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and Mel were among those who fought alongside Jayce and Ekko, leading to many sacrifices and battles. What happened to Jinx in Arcane season two is perhaps one of the biggest reveals in the series finale and has a much deeper meaning.

Jinx sacrifices herself to save her sister, Vi

Jinx’s final act is one of sisterly love

In Arcane At the end of season 2, Jinx dies trying to save Vi. After Jayce defeated Viktor and severed the latter’s connection with his many subjects, one of these followers – Warwick, made from Vander’s body by Singed in Arcane Season 2 – Awakens as a mindless beast once again. Warwick attacks Vi, causing Jinx to crash into him and plummet them both to their deaths. That being said, Vi manages to grab her sister, trying to save her from a devastating fate.

Sadly, Jinx committed to dying alongside Vander, in part due to the loss of Isha in Arcane Season 2, Episode 6 Finale. Jinx removes one of ArcaneVi’s Hextech cores from Vi’s powerful gauntlets, causing him to strike down Jinx and Vander. Before they can reach the bottom of the Hexgate tower, however, Jinx detonates one of her grenades, killing her and Warwick once and for all. This harkens back to an earlier scene where Jinx was going to blow herself up using these grenades, only for Ekko to stop her.

Jinx was the catalyst for everything that happened in Arcane

Arcane is ending because Jinx’s story is over

When Arcane was announced that it would end with season two, many questioned why, especially when the show’s creators confirmed that spin-offs are on the way. The reason for this becomes clear as Jinx’s sacrifice unfolds: she is the catalyst for Arcanethe whole story. In Arcane In the first season, Powder’s desire to help his sister and friends resulted in the deaths of Mylo and Claggor, and the serious injuries of Vander. This led her to Silco, which subsequently resulted in the war between Piltover and Zaun being escalated by Jinx directly in Arcane end of season 1.

Jinx’s attack on the council led to the events of Arcane Season 2, Act I. So, Jinx was responsible for bringing her and Vi back together to save Vander, leading to Viktor being introduced to Ambessa, causing the butterfly effect that led to Arcane season 2, Act III. Even in the show’s alternate timeline explored by Ekko in Arcane Season 2, Episode 7, Powder was instrumental in developing Ekko’s time travel abilities and returning him home. Without Ekko, Viktor might not have been defeated. All of this proves how every character and storyline orbits Jinx in Arcane.

Jinx’s death explains why Arcane is ending after season 2

Here lies the reason why Arcane is ending with season 2. After the end of Arcane In season two, many will be confused as to why the series ended, as several spin-offs are teased involving some of the series’ central characters, from Vi and Caitlyn to Mel Medarda. However, this makes sense when viewing Arcane through the aforementioned lens: the show surrounded Jinx. Jinx was the reason Arcane and her many stories existed, but now she is gone.

Jinx’s story ended, and given how inextricably linked it was Arcanethe show too. The spin-off stories will go beyond Jinx’s arc, as well as beyond Arcane for having a different title and exploring separate Jinx stories. Although the decision to end Arcane While season two was initially incredibly disappointing for many, it now makes thematic sense. Without Jinx, Arcane it wouldn’t have existed in the first place, which means that without her alive, the show shouldn’t go on. Spin-offs can be counted, but Arcane and Jinx remain safe together for all eternity now that they are both no more.
