I’m not even worried that the Viktor/Jayce/Hexcore side of the plot is going to be underwhelming in S2. I’m still very firmly convinced that they’re hiding something important to do with them this season.
It’s more that the hype is 100% based around Jinx, Vi and Caitlyn’s plot when it’s quite clear that Arcane S2 is going to have stakes that extend beyond Piltover vs Zaun or Vi vs Jinx.
Making Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn the only characters featured in main marketing not only irritates fans of other characters, but it sets expectations for the season. As far as we’ve been shown, Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn have nothing to do with the Void/magic plotline of Arcane, yet we know it’s going to be a big part of the season.
A major theory rolling around in the Arcane discussion circle I’m in is that the Void’s involvement in the overall main plot won’t really kick off until mid-late season. If and when those parts of the plot (and the characters involved) get a large amount of screentime, fans who love everything the marketing offered without want for anything more are going to be annoyed, because that precedent’s been set.

so in honor of arcane season 2, here is a list of everything going on my “arcane s2 bingo card”, i would upload a photo of the actual card but the writing is so small it’s illegible so here’s it written out:
in no particular order here’s my predictions.
1: Caitvi breakup :(
2: Jayce manipulating Caitlin so he can stay in power.
3: Jinx and Sevika alliance.
4: Viktor literally fleeing when he finds out what a shitty person Jayce is.
5: Ekko and Vi having a HUGE fight.
6: Caitlin/Vi paralleling Silico & Vander.
7: Vi being shunned from the undercity after becoming an enforcer.
8: Caitlin & Jinx paralleling Silico & Vander.
9: Mel dies and Jayce starts tweaking the fuck out to the point where everyone is like what the fuck is happening.
10: Caitlin’s parents dying, and her completely blaming Jinx.
11: Caitlin pushing Vi away and betraying her in some way.
12: Jinx getting entirely addicted to shimmer.
13: Jinx dying.
14: Viktor being super involved in whatever “The Arcane” is.
15: Ekko using shimmer (this is a stretch but I’m predicting.)
16: Mel’s mom basically taking over all of Topside and completely running the nation.
17: CaitVi/Violyn sex scene (A GIRL CAN DREAM.)
18: Jinx cutting her own hair in a schizophrenic panic attack.
19: Alternatively, Jinx having her hair cut forcefully (In battle, by someone else, something like that.)
20: Time skip!
21: Vi going back to jail/getting arrested.
22: Vi quitting being an enforcer and falling off the face of the earth because Caitlin pissed her off a little too much.
23: Jinx replacing one of her limbs or a body part with some crazy powered up prosthetic.
24: Caitlin physically fighting Jayce (probably over Vi.)
remember that i haven’t seen any leaks and i intend to keep it that way, a lot of these i’m SURE are going to happen and a lot of these are a stretch. overall i think i did a good job.

I meant to do this ages ago but knowing the leaks exist is driving me insane so I’m devoting my energy to it now—
Obsessed with the idea of Arcane characters becoming their opposites in S2 so I’ve attempted to summarize each character in 3 words—a good quality or strength, a bad quality or weakness, and a neutral trait.
Vi: Protective, Hotheaded, Sentimental
Caitlyn: Empathetic, Naive, Perceptive
Jinx: Creative, Impulsive, Childish
Ekko: Nurturing, Aggressive, Distrustful
Heimer: Patient, Unresponsive, Pessimistic
Jayce: Charismatic, Shortsighted, Proud
Viktor: Self-sacrificing, Stubborn, Reserved
Mel: Wise, Manipulative, Perfectionistic
Singed: Calculated, Sadistic, Cryptic
Sevika: Loyal, Impatient, Honest
Ambessa: Cunning, Ruthless, Selfish
Assuming that these are solid descriptors for each character, and S2 will show these characters becoming their own opposites, we can expect good qualities to become bad ones and vice versa. Neutral qualities may also be turned on their heads:
Vi: Vulnerable, Apathetic, Repressing
Caitlyn: Cold, Experienced, Blinded
Jinx: Destructive (in maybe a different context than S1), Deliberate, Mature
Ekko: Neglectful, Avoidant, Trusting
Heimer: Impatient, Proactive, Lighthearted
Jayce: Unlikable, Farsighted, Humble (or Humbled)
Viktor: Selfish, Compromising, Outspoken
Mel: Foolish, Sincere, Self-accepting
Singed: Careless, Empathetic, Unambiguous
Sevika: Independent, Patient, Aloof
Ambessa: Candid, Merciful, Self-sacrificing
Further analysis below ->
A lot of these qualities are probably going to be tweaked. I don’t think we’re going to get a wildly empathetic Singed, but rather we’ll see some more of his personal motivations, which will show him to be more feeling than he seems.
I honestly don’t see us getting a straight-up self-centered Viktor, so part of me believes that he’ll be “selfish” in the context of his personal ambitions. He’s been working in tandem with Jayce for years; been willing to give up time for other projects that aren’t Undercity-centric. Viktor’s focus is going to be entirely on physically healing the Undercity—a project that only he seems to see the value in. That’s probably going to be the “selfish” aspect we see from him.
Or at least I really hope so.
Viktor’s selflessness is such an integral part of his character that it’s hard to imagine him suddenly becoming self-absorbed, but if the writers handle it well, then 👍
Similar issue with Jayce—I don’t see Jayce becoming humble so much as being humbled or put in his place (maybe by Ambessa, who looks poised to usurp Piltover’s Council judging by previous story beats and her strong presence in the S2 poster.
I like Jayce as a character and really think the fandom doesn’t give him enough credit for caring about those around him—but he’s pretty full of himself, and I only see him leaning further into that trait as those he trusts (Mel, Viktor, Caitlyn) are either pulled away or abandon him.
Sevika’s possible development in particular is quite interesting specifically because she is a follower by definition. In S1, Sevika would not have made a good leader, but maybe she will in S2.
Sevika could start acting independently to contrast her previous loyalty. Even when in an alliance she can have independent motives. We know she’s going to team up with Jinx but it’s unlikely that Sevika is going to be personally devoted to her, and maybe this alliance is a temporary, spur-of-the-moment decision.
If Sevika starts being independent, I’ve no doubt she’ll later become Renata Glasc.
okay that’s it! Feel free to add to this or take away or completely contradict me I’d love to continue to think about and discuss what defines these characters :)
