For English dubbed anime he turned on English CC because otherwise it was using the translated subtitles for the Japanese audio which didn’t 100% match what they were saying in the dub, arcane is in English anyway so yeah the normal subtitles should be fine, unless some people specifically want these ones

WOW riots marketing team has always been amazing, I can't believe this is from 2013, the game was only 5 years old at that point, and had really humble beginnings

I think the idea with the hexgates is that they're a big target for attacks now that the undercoty has some power. But yea wasn't that clear to me either

Additional fun fact: The animation for the music video is the same studio, Fortiche, that did Arcane.

You might have subs for the hearing impaired on instead of normal subs. Maybe there's no difference? I'm not sure, but could be worth double checking if the [suspenseful music plays] is bothering you

As a first time viewer of Arcane, I did not expect them to go that direction with Powder's character. It makes sense though and I dig it. A little bit of chaotic energy thrown into the mix. And like someone else in the comments pointed out, her expressions are rather vibrant, even with just the little details.

Yeah sorry, should have posted originally! It's "Get Jinxed" from 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=0nlJuwO0GDs

Jinx and Silco’s dynamic is so great. Could you imagine him allowing anyone else to act the way Jinx does around him? He completely shut down any of Sevika’s (the woman that we followed into the bar) concerns about her. Jinx could be jeopardizing everything he’s worked for and he’s just like “nah”. He clearly has attached to her as she has to him, and you can understand why when you look at his old relationship with Vander, and how he felt abandoned by him. The parallels are clear but not in your face. Really neat stuff. And Jinx displaying every form of attachment trauma in the book sure is something 😅 at least she has someone to love her for all her flaws the way Silco does… but what part does he love? How much of her worth is still tied to her identity? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ba— I mean Arcane 😁 Also, I LOVE the way Jinx is animated. From the stylized art when she’s having an episode down to the microexpressions on her face… you can really tell how much they love this character. Her VA really does an amazing job too, making her sound both unhinged and a bit exhausted.

Here we go! I think you asked about characters from the game in a previous episode -- Jinx/Powder is one of them! The song that plays during the scene where she's tinkering with music blasting is originally from one of their very first animated music videos starring her. It really blew up for the game (like 150m views, compared to a few million at most of their other cinematics at the time) and I think is a big reason we ended up getting more amazing music/animation stuff from them.

Damn… subtitles revealing Jinx’s name early like that is a bummer. Oh well oh, you didn’t even notice lol

It is confirmed to be 7 years, a certain character confirms it later. I believe the voice actors and writers may have also spoken on specific ages as well but nothing about that is in the show itself (as of now)

The time skip is 7 years I think, not sure if that number is official but it’s generally accepted to be close to that
