Arcane Finale: Is [SPOILER] Still Alive?

As expected, the Arcane finale has left fans in utter shambles, and saw the death of several main characters including Jayce and Viktor. Jinx was also seen to have exploded in the finale, but some fans are convinced that she may have actually survived the end and is simply leaving Piltover.

As some fans have spotted online, a split-second before the explosion that kills Warwick, fans can see a flash of pink, which is the same power signature that Jinx has whenever she moves fast. Check this out:

i want to believe in the theory that JINX IS STILL ALIVE and she escaped, you can see a trail of shimmer escaping on the video as when she moves. #jinx #arcane #arcanes2spoilers pic.twitter.com/YuRrZW3M8m

What’s more, the final moments of the finale drop a lot of hints at where Jinx could be. Besides Caitlyn finding out that there was a network of tunnels that Jinx could have escaped to, the final seconds of the show reveal ‘THE END’ written in the same crude writing that’s usually associated with Jinx.

Probably the biggest visual hint is that in the very first season, fans also see the same shot of the flying ship, and Powder specifically tells the gang, “One day, I’m gona ride in one of those things,” which should be hint enough that Jinx is on that ship and flying away from Piltover.

Besides all the more obvious hints in the finale, fans have also pointed out that Jinx’s talk with imaginary Silco in the jail cell before she’s freed has Silco telling her to ‘walk away’ and not just repeat the cycle of violence. So if we were to take that as a hint, Jinx just leaving would have been set-up at that point.

With the next League spinoff said to be taking place in Dematica, some are convinced that Jinx is going to find a new partner in Lux who appears with her in the cinematic You Really Got Me promo for Wild Rift.

Of course, a lot of this is just speculation, but there really is enough evidence to suggest that Jinx is alive, and maybe she’s popular enough to be the mascot for the next spinoff as well.
