    Season 1 Predictions 
That mage who saved Jayce and his mother is somehow related to Ryze
He uses blue runes, and his teleportation spell is very similar to Ryze's Realm Warp.

The mage who saved Jayce is Ryze

Warwick from the game is actually...
...Vander, somehow resurrected and transformed, perhaps related to Shimmer exposure.
  • There are actually multiple points to imply this. Warwick's in-game dialogue states he knew Jinx and Vi from their early years, even directly remarking on Vi's punching ethic and Jinx being "there" when a specific event happened.
  • Warwick's backstory, vague as it was, does mention he was someone who was once a fighter but cleaned up their act which described Vander to a tee.
  • Warwick's PROJECT skin, non-canon as it is, does briefly show his original face which heavily resembles Vander.
  • Vander is at one point directly called the "Hound" and a theme resembling Warwick's plays when he gets serious several times.
  • All but confirmed in the finale that Warwick is in-process, and the Season 2 trailer heavily hints that he'll be active and a part of it by ending with the Blood Hunt leitmotif. The only question at this point is whether, as seems likely, that was Vander's profile we saw in Episode 9.

Powder will succumb to her madness after freeing Warwick from Singed…
… After finding out that he’s Vander, as above. This will line up the suggestion from the game about their connection. However, she will then have her “Red Eye” psychotic break and will forget what she did and why, just to add some extra pain to the situation.
  • Jossed.

Vi will do Fight Clubbing.
Not only as a way to continue developing her skills in unarmed combat, but as a way to vent her anger at the deaths of Claggor, Mylo, and Vander and her loss of Powder to Silco.
  • She will do this while in prison. The trailers indicate she's there for at least some time, and for a character with her type of skills and personality, this is a reasonable expectation.

We will see young adult Ekko hanging out with young adult Pre-Jinx Powder.
He’ll provide the most sympathetic “pro-revolutionary” view of her to Vi before her breakdown, and also clearly develop his crush on her. Having his eyes opened to either what Powder does for Silco or her breakdown, leading to him being more The Paragon.
  • Confirmed.

Another Zaunite doctor will appear in the show
Dr. Mundo will appear in the show, probably as one of Silco's thugs. The usage of Shimmer is quite similar to how Dr. Mundo bulks up. Likely the thug who became Dr. Mundo had been exposed to an even larger amount of Shimmer, but over a longer period of time, hence why his skin turned purple, and his mind was broken.

Sevika will become Co-Dragons to Silco together with Singed.
The trailers seem to make this obvious, along with the number of times she's focused on at the end of Act 1 for no immediately obvious reason. Specifically, she may have an It's Personal with the Dragon relationship to Vi, based on some of the trailers showing them fighting as well as Sevika's blocked attempt to fight Vi in episode 3.
  • Confirmed; she's referred to as "Silco's Number Two" in episode 5.

Powder will have hextech remove her mental pain, guilt, and conscience to become Jinx.
Multiple advertisements have shown young adult Powder (before her eyes go red as Jinx) being justifiably morose, moody and foul-tempered. Eventually, this will grow worse because of something in the show, and miserable, broken Powder will have someone (possibly Victor) magically/technologically remove the part of her mind causing her this pain… creating the mad-cap, bonkers, and seemingly sociopathic Jinx we all know.
  • Semi-confirmed as of Episode 8, though it was Singed's medical science, and any psychological effects were purely side-effects of saving her life.

Silco will become Jhin
Looking at Silco and Jhin, there are some similarities physically (their thin build, one good eye, flat and pointed nose) and this series is covering how Jinx and Warwick descends into insanity, so something may happen to turn Silco into the psychotic serial killer Jhin.
  • Jossed

Vi will make amends with Jinx
Given that she felt deeply remorse for being harsh towards Jinx, she will try to make amends with her, despite her working for Silco.
  • Jossed.

Jinx will rescue Vi and Caitlyn
Given that she has at least tried to save Vander from Silco when she was young, and at least been happy to reconcile with her sister, she may be rescuing Vi and Caitlyn.
  • Jossed.

Powder/Jinx will make amends with Vi
Given that she was happy about reuniting with her older sister after a decade, it is likely that she will try to make amends with her once she tries to rescue her.
  • Jossed.

Both Jinx and Vi will reconcile with Each Other
Given that they were happy seeing each other after a decade, it is possible that once Jinx rescues Vi, They will reconcile while apologizing to each other.
  • Oh so horribly, horribly Jossed.

The kid on the hover board who is the leader of the Firelights is either the new champion, or is…
Ekko. The mask the head member wears is the same as the one in Benzo's shop. One of the cards from Legends of Runeterra is known as the Dropboarder, who uses a board very similar to the Firelights. Plus the leader does not allow his goons to kill Vi, implying he recognizes her.
  • Agreed, even though the mask in Benzo's shop doesn't quite look like the Firelights' leader's — it looks more like Jhin's. It would make perfect sense for Ekko to modify one of those masks to conceal his identity from Silco — Ekko has a personal grudge against him for killing Benzo, he's an inventor (we haven't seen anything like the hoverboards or those time-decaying crystal foam grenades in Piltover), he has very good reason to stop the spread of Shimmer having witnessed firsthand what someone hopped up on it can do, and he'd have a reason to spare Vi.
  • Confirmed as Ekko.

Future seasons of Arcane will go from region to region, with Season 2 being a political story taking place in Noxus focussed around Darius, Draven, Swain and the Black Rose.
Similarly to how Arcane Season 1 focuses on the relationship between Vi and Jinx, Season 2 will focus on the relationship between Darius and Draven between their recruitment into the Noxian army and the establishment of the Trifarix in the aftermath of Swain's coup.

Core moments would include the Battle of the Placidium (in which Swain lost his arm, Draven left the Noxian army and Darkwill and Singed's bombardment of the Ionian coastline left Riven traumatised), the deposition of Darkwill and Urgot by Swain and Draven respectively, and Darius's divided loyalties between Darkwill and Swain that will ultimately cause him to reconcile with Draven and join the Trifarix.

Singed's involvement in the Ionian conflict in the employ of Boram Darkwill would serve to tie seasons 1 and 2 together, since a subplot based around Riven's trauma could introduce Ionia as a future region and allow Singed to take a more central stage than he has in Arcane Season 1 thus far.

  • Jossed; the season 2 announcement suggests that it will continue to focus on Piltover and Zaun.

Sevika is Grayson's daughter.
They look reasonably similar and even both have rather deep voices. It would also open up some potentially twisted new reasons for Sevika wanting to fight Piltover even after Grayson's death.

Urgot will appear in Act 3.
In the act 3 trailer there are soldiers resembling Noxians. Also according to lore Swain sent Urgot to Zaun, probably to employ Singed.

Jossed: Ambessa Medarda, Mel's mother was introduce in Act 3

Act 3 will have a flashback of Vander teaching Vi how to fight.
Not as the point of the flashback, but simply one of the sisters remembering a happier time.

Ekko will use Jinx’s stolen Hex crystal for his time gadget.
Because he’s the Firelight’s leader and will have possession of it by the time Act 3 starts.
  • I second this theory. I mean, what else could fidgeting with a clock signify?
  • Jossed. The gemstone is used to power Jinx's rocket attack on the Council.

Vi and Jinx will fight each other in the finale.
This would work to set up their status quo by the time of the game, but it's also possibly been foreshadowed:
  • In the "Enemy" music video, Powder awkwardly tries to copy Vi's shadowboxing.
  • By the time Powder is Jinx in the "A Score To Settle" preview,note  she's developed significant hand-to-hand combat skills in addition to her ranged weapons and bombs. Yet she also fails to beat Vi's score on the arcade sparring robot, leaving her angry.
  • Act 1 ended with the sisters being driven apart partially by Vi striking Powder. Act 2 ended with the sisters again separated, but not due to any direct fault of either of them. Act 3 ending with Jinx managing to somehow outfight Vi hand-to-hand, thus truly driving a wedge between them would bookend the final episodes of each act, in a partial of reverse of Act 1's ending. It would also be a culmination of this smaller arc to Jinx's character and a piece of her general arc of needing to (or at least thinking she needs to) prove her worth to others.
  • In League of Legends, Vi has amnesia about her past. From a blow to the head, perhaps?

Jayce knows that Marcus is lying to him and maybe even suspects he's got connections to whoever is behind the bombing.
He was wise enough to not reveal anything he knew about Caitlyn's investigation. He's setting Marcus up to be the one to spearhead an unpopular safety protocol for this reason. He may even lie and say that some of his past less popular actions were at Marcus's urging.

Heimerdinger will take the criticism of being too passive and his forced retirement from the council to heart and switch to doing things personally.
While it may be not obvious to those that have not played the game, a lot of the people who watched the series also seem to have forgotten just WHAT type of champion Heimer is on the Rift. His portrayal as a kindhearted, soft-spoken professor belies the fact that he is (or was, depending on patch) one of the most devastating control- and burst mages to wander the rift.

Given that the series portrays how all the champions got to their current state I wouldn't be suprised at all to him taking the advice to heart that he was to passive in letting things get to the point (especially given his attempt to put down his foot over the hexcore)and bust out his signature turrets, grenades and rocket swarms in Act 3, kicking some major ass.

  • Jossed for now, but he seems to have joined the Firelights, so the door is very open to him getting physical in Season 2.

At some point, Jinx will abandon Vi (or at least consider doing so)
Either simply running off or leaving her for dead.
  • Confirmed. After a tense dinner in which she kills Silco, she declares that they've both changed and walks away.

Jinx will kill Marcus...
...and it will inadvertently be in front of his daughter (who just so happens to have reddish hair). The realization of how similar the situation is to Vander's death, only now intentional, will send Jinx off the deep end for good.
  • Confirmed with her killing him, Jossed with his daughter seeing it and her realization.

Jinx will gain her red eyes from some kind of Shimmer overdose.
…perhaps using Silco’s eye injector, so that instead of transforming her physically, it transforms her mind.
  • Confirmed. After she blows herself up, Silco has Singed perform surgery to save her; enter new eyes.

Vander's nickname originated during his younger days as a boxer.
Honestly, "The Hound of the Underground"? That just screams "fighter nickname". And he certainly knows how to use his fists.

Singed's daughter is...
  • ...Orianna. We don't know if Singed is actually his real name, so his name could actually be Corin Reveck. Singed's picture of his daughter has a hairstyle that greatly resembles Orianna, and the creature he experimented on to try and save is named Rio. Rio = Ori = Orianna?
  • ...Sevika. After Singed mentions his daughter, the scene cuts to her, implying a connection through editing. Sevika also mentions her own father later on, in a potential case of The Law of Conservation of Detail. If true, this would give another angle to Sevika's willingness to join Silco and her Undying Loyalty to him.

    Season 2 Predictions 
Season 2 will be about...
  • Introducing more Piltover/Zaun characters, like Dr. Mundo, Blitzcrank, Camille, Zac, Ziggs, Twitch, Orianna and so on.
  • Vi growing to become the Piltover Enforcer and how Caitlyn will rise through the ranks to become the new Sheriff.
  • Viktor continuing his transformation into the Machine Herald.
  • How Ekko develops his time skipping technology and Heimerdinger learning to be more proactive and earning his moniker of Revered Inventor.
  • Sevika taking over Silco's operations.
  • Jinx fighting with Sevika over Silco's operations.
  • Introducing characters from elsewhere in Runeterra, providing hooks for future seasons.
  • Vi's Ship Tease with Caitlyn.
  • Vi trying to making amends with her sister, Jinx.
  • Jinx making amends with Vi.
  • At first open war between Piltover and Zaun begins, but it soon becomes everyone going after Jinx when word gets out that she killed Silco right after Jayce offered Silco independence for Zaun in exchange for Jinx's surrender. Everyone besides Caitlin and Vi will, understandably, come to the conclusion that Jinx killed him and started the war just to save herself. What makes this situation worse is that Vi will be put in the same position as Vander and Silco were: Forced to choose between peace and her family, with the added complication that Jinx probably killed Caitlin's mom and she's out for revenge.

Vi and Caitlyn will become a couple in Season 2
  • Are they not already a couple by the end of Season 1? Caitlyn even speaks about "us".
    • It's unlikely that they would have left out a Big Damn Kiss scene, but maybe they made date plans, something like this:
      Caitlyn: When all of this is over, I'd like to show you around Piltover.
      Vi: That'd be nice, actually.
  • Further prediction: if Season 2 is the same length and structure as Season 1, Vi and Caitlyn will most likely get together in episode 3

In the Season 1 finale, Jinx did not fire just ONE rocket
During the ending montage, Caithlyn and Vi watch Jinx pull the trigger from the same positions she left them in (tied to the chair and lying on the ground). A few cuts later they watch a rocket fly overhead while walking up the same ramp from where Jinx fired, but by the time they could get there the first rocket must have already impacted. This is not just an artistic choice, but foreshadowing that after firing on the Council, Jinx left to reload her weapon and then fired at more targets, possibly Enforcer Headquarters and the Airship Hexgate Tower.

Jinx will have a Redemption Arc in Season 2
Despite not having redeemed herself in Season one, she still had a few of her redeeming qualities, like how she felt remorse for accidentally killing her adoptive family, created a life-sized doll of Mylo (despite how snarky he was to her), was heartbroken of being abandoned by Violet, still had to show care for Silco, and even after she killed Silco, She still had care for him while she deeply sobbing remorse for it. So, she may have a Redemption Arc in Season 2.
  • If Ziggs does appear in Season 2, then he could indeed grow into The Conscience Jinx sees him as, making her more in-line with her in-game personality.

Villains who could be the Arc Villain of Season 2
Since Silco is dead after being shot by Jinx, there are possibilities on who will be the Arc Villain of Season 2.

  • Sevika
  • Noxus
  • Camille
Possible Future Villains
The series of Arcane has introduced a few, such as Silco, Sevika, Deckard, and The Chem-Barons. With Season 2 coming later, there are a few possibilities on what kind of new villains could appear in the new season.

  • An Evil Counterpart of Jinx, who could manipulate as well as trick her into her psychopathic personality.
  • A Greater-Scope Villain of the first season being indirectly responsible for Silco's rise to power, the one who helped Singed discover and create Shimmer (assuming that this villain and Shimmer are connected to the Voidborn) and will make his/her move in the second season.

Sevika will become the Arc Villain of Season 2
Given that she is presumably now taking Silco’s place as a leader as of the Season one finale, she may be one for Season 2.

Noxus will be the Arc Villain of Season 2
Either Mel's mom is going to decide to conquer the city out of revenge assuming that Mel is killed by the rocket, or the man Mel's brother crossed — presumably Swain — will try to conquer the city seeing the war between Piltover & Zaun as the opportunity to make his move, necessitating the two sides call a cease fire to push back the Noxians.
  • Agreed, though it is more likely to be Swain, since in the lore of League, clan Medarda are allies of clan Ferros of Piltover, which would create a common cause if it was Swain who killed Ambessa's son. Swain would also make sense as the bigger fish the chem-baron Finn referred to when trying to recruit Sevika for his attempted coup against Silco, Swain planned for years to gain control of Noxus in a single day so weakening Piltover and Zaun by trying to agitate and even fund a civil war to make invasion easier does seem to be in character. Added to this Jinx's association with crows in the show, something which in game is a characteristic of Swain could be an indication that they have a connection. This could just be observing a likely flash point for conflict or More than Mind Control.
  • I'd be genuinely surprised if more Noxians don't show up given how they and their penchant for conquest were already introduced, and if Jayce is the only survivor of Jinx's attack, then they have the prefect pretext to get involved since someone from one of their ruling clans was killed by a Zaunite. This would also be the perfect pretext for the magic-hating Demacians to show up. Piltover was openly flaunting magic, but they were using it to facilitate global trade and Piltover appears to be a neutral state with no interest in expansion. The international community wouldn't have accepted Demacia trying to stop them, but they might back Demacian intervention if there's a real chance of Noxus getting their hands on Hextech and becoming strong enough to take over the entire world.

Camille will be the Arc Villain of Season 2
With Season 1 mostly focusing on Vi and Jinx, Season 2 will treat Caitlyn as a bigger part of the story and feature the abduction of her parents by "C" as a core of the story. Meanwhile, Jinx's destruction of the Council chamber will spur Piltover's elite to mass-produce hextech weapons despite Jayce's disapproval, using synthetic hex-crystals created by Clan Ferros (with the elderly Stevan set up as the main villain of that storyline).

Eventually both stories will converge as Camille oversees Stevan's downfall and takes control of Clan Ferros, becoming the biggest bad of Season 2. It's only fitting: an old man from the slums of Zaun as the antagonist of Season 1 who chose love for his daughter over his "duties" to Zaun, supplanted by an old lady from a noble Piltovan house as the antagonist of Season 2 who chose duty to her family over her love for Hakim.

Possible Future Heroes
The series of Arcane has a few from the League of Legends games, such as Vi, Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, and Mel. With Season 2 coming later, there are a few possibilities on what kind of new heroes could appear in the new season.

Possible New Characters
The series of Arcane has introduced a few new characters such as Vander, Mel, Mylo, Claggor, Deckard, Finn, and Renni. With Season 2 coming later, there are a few possibilities on what kind of new characters could appear in the new season.

  • A Love Interest of Jinx, who could help her over her problems with Vi as well as have her make amends with her.

At least one of the Piltover Council dies to Jinx's rocket attack at the end of Season 1
We know Jayce survives, and Mel may be protected by that glowing armor, but the rest of the Council does not have much characterization or buildup, and thus are narratively disposable. Caitlyn's mother is a particularly drama-rich potential victim. Killing them off would be a good motivator for war.

None of the Council will die.
But the attack in and of itself will be enough to spark war.

The entire Council dies.
Jayce is only mostly dead and gets brought back, perhaps by Viktor. The rest become martyrs for war.

Potential Champion speculation
Characters original to the show who may be added to League of Legends as Champions at some point. It's important to remember two things; League of Legends the game isn't canon to it's own lore, and Arcane isn't necessarily canon to League of Legends lore, either, so a character being dead in the show doesn't prevent them being added as a champion to the game to capitalize on their popularity. Without further adieu:
  • Silco.
  • Sevika.
  • Ambessa Medarda (Mel's mom).
  • Mel herself.
  • Silco joining League has been Jossed. One reason cited was that Silco had no obvious moveset, being a Non-Action Guy for the most part. Sevika, on the other hand, is the most prominent fighter among the original characters, and her Shimmer-powered robot arm and built-in sword could very well be the basis for her as a brawler-type. Ambessa or Mel are also possibilities. Ambessa is clearly a fighter, and Mel could either be shown to have combat training (she is Ambessa's daughter) or develop some kind of skills (possibly magical) in Season Two.

Viktor's descent into outright villainy will be a major thread of season 2
Combining some above wmgs, Camille will act as the primary villain for the Vi/Cait/Jinx plot thread, trying to hunt down Jinx & murder her while Vi and Cait try to bring her in alive. Given the chronology of the show with Jayce & Viktor only having invented hextech a few years ago and only just recently inventing portable devices and weapons, it's impossible for Camille to already be a hextech cyborg at this point in the story. So what might happen is during a confrontation with Vi/Cait/Jinx or any combination there of, Camille is severely injured, and Viktor is brought in to save her life, turning her into the knife-booted murder machine she is in the game. If Noxus is involved in the season, Viktor might also have a hand in turning Urgot into the mechanical monster he becomes. The guilt of killing Skye and creating these killers along with fear of his own mortality is what eventually motivates Viktor to begin to properly cyberize himself, a process that would have begun to repair the damage to his body caused by the hexcore, and remove his human emotions. Viktor fully embracing his identity as the Machine Herald could even be the season 2 equivalent of Powder fully becoming Jinx.

Not only Vander will be resurrected as Warwick, but also Silco will be resurrected someway in future
Maybe already in season 2. Either by Singed or by some other means, but it will come with some modifications to his body, maybe mechanical, and in this form he'll also be introduced as a champion in League of Legends later. And he'll not be anymore the ruler of Zaun, but he'll still have some power and a group of loyal followers and friends, first of all Jinx and probably also Singed. He'll be happy to be again alive but with some initial sadness for his modifications and the lost position. But his first worries will be to see and contact as soon as possible Jinx to make sure she's alive, fine and well. When Jinx will discover he's again alive, she'll be overwhelmed with joy but will also want to do something to "earn" his forgiving for accidentally killing him, despite he made clear already before, and continuing also now, to tell her that he doesn't blame her. Vander, as Warwick, will have some basic memories about who he is and their falling out.

Jayce will make Viktor save Mel with the Hexcore's power
It's pretty characteristic of Jayce to stop thinking straight when his loved ones get hurt, and even though he should already know that the Hexcore is bad news, and Viktor is like an addict who doesn't have the self control to refuse. This'll push Viktor towards his path of becoming the Machine Herald, and will make Jayce seem like a hypocrite when he'll eventually get cold feet about the process.

Ambessa is lying about her reasons for being in Piltover
She doesn't want hextech to protect her clan. She only told Mel that as a cover. Her real mission is to ascertain Piltover's defenses and government and prepare it for Noxus' invasion.
  • One the one hand, a common enemy for the two cities to unite against might be the only way to get their leadership to settle their differences and also be the perfect way to up the ante. On the other hand, that seems a little bit too easy as a way to help treat the menatal wounds left by generations of violence and exploitation.

Urgot would be indirectly responsible for Silco’s rise to power and be the Big Bad of Season 2
Urgot would have a different backstory like Vi, and revealed be the Greater-Scope Villain of Season 1 helping Silco recover from his injuries, and Season 2 would be the right moment for Urgot to come out of hiding now that Silco is dead. He would even convince Sevika to join him to take over both Piltover and Zaun.

The series will end with Jinx's death
Given the pace and tone of the story, this seems to be what it's all leading up to.
  • Yes and no. I do think that as of the season one finale, Jinx is too far gone and death is the only fate that awaits her. However, given how vast the world of League of Legends is and how wildly successful the series is, the creators will be allowed to explore other parts of the setting once the Piltover/Zaun arc, for lack of a better term, has been resolved. There are plenty of other locations filled with political strife for the writers to take advantage of, and with Piltover now being an international trade and travel hub, it's the perfect starting point.

Fiddlesticks will appear.
Fiddlesticks is described on the League website as being "drawn to areas thick with paranoia'', and Piltover certainly has a lot to fear. Plus, as the Woobie subpage can attest, there is a lot of trauma to go around, which Fiddlesticks or any of the demons would be more than happy to exploit. Plus, Fiddlesticks is associated with crows. Now what bird follows Jinx around...?

Vi's backstory from the game will be used in the show in some point.
Vi's game backstory says she's an amnesiac orphan who spent her childhood in a Zaunite orphanage called House Hope. Though it may seem like a conflict with what is seen in the series, as the series can be seen as a bit of a prequel to the games, the backstory featured in the game will actually be used for Vi at some point in the show. We know she joins the Enforcers in the game, and if she does for the show, it could be possible that Caitlyn came up with the backstory to not only allow for Vi to join the Enforcers, but to also keep her safe in addition to keeping the truth about Vi's relationship to Jinx a secret.

An Interplay of Sex and Violence will happen and involve Vi (sex) and Jinx (Violence)
Vi has a beautiful lovemaking moment with Caitlyn while Jinx is viciously fighting against her many enemies (i.e., Enforcers, Sevika's gang, Ekko's gang, etc.)

Sevika will be a Sacrificial Lion to introduce Warwick.
Specifically, Sevika will fight Vi a third time, and come closer to killing her than their prior two encounters. Warwick will somehow become aware of them (perhaps the fight is in Singed's lab?), notice Vi is in mortal peril, have a flash of memory about knowing and protecting Vi, then charge in and kill Sevika. Vi will be stunned at what happened, and, seeing her fear, Warwick will flee.

Sevika, Ekko, and Vi will each give a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Jinx at different points in different ways
It goes from least to most close relationship for Jinx:
  • First — Sevika outright hates Jinx and only tolerated her (barely) because she was Silco's daughter. Now that he's dead, Sevika has no reason to care whether she lives or die. Sevika will brutally point out how Jinx is nothing but a jinx to Silco's gang since she came to them, always making a mess and never actually helping. Jinx will throw a vicious temper tantrum, but Sevika will nonchalantly point out that ONLY worked on Silco not her. And in a Kick the Dog moment, Sevika cruelly states Jinx's only talent is killing her families.
  • Second — Ekko, her former childhood friend turned enemy. They meet up again for round two, but this time Ekko has his Night Owls and more of them. Too much and too coordinated for the lone and wild Jinx to handle. Ekko reminisces about the day he found out she was working with Silco and thought he had kidnapped her and tried to rescue her only for her to defend Silco and Ekko to leave angry, jaded, and disappointed. He talks about how he deeply wishes for their friendship to be the same as well as having Benzo, Vander, Claggor, Mylo, and Vi back as a family but they can't. He ends his speech stating Jinx can't use their friendship anymore as leverage and he will kill her.
  • Third — Vi, her sister turned Arch-Enemy. Near the end of the series, the two sisters fight and Vi doesn't hesitate but she clearly doesn't enjoy it. After gaining the upper hand, Jinx calls her sister out for abandoning her but Vi doesn't guilt herself and immediately tells Jinx that she lost her family that day and saw her father die, she was just as traumatized as Jinx.

There will have Time Skips
Like how the first season had two time-skips, this season will have at least two.

The season will end on a Bittersweet Ending
Bitter: Jinx is all alone with no one, not even Vi, wanting anything to do with her. She doesn't face any justice for her crimes and is on the run in the universe. Zaun has a long way to recover from its independence and the relationship between them and Piltover has a long way to recover. While Vi and Ekko do see each other from time to time, they now have drastically different lives.

Sweet: Zaun is free from Piltover's tyranny. In a twisted example, Jinx is still alive which makes Vi, in a very complicated way, very happy. Vi has gained some level of closure from her trauma. Vi and Caitlyn are an Official Couple and working to give true justice in both Piltover and Zaun.

Bolbok will survive Jinx's attack
and become an antagonist in Season Two.Given that he's at least partially made of metal, he's likely the most durable of the Council. He's also the most openly hostile to both magic and the Undercity. Jayce, Viktor, and Mel will survive due to Plot Armor, but be incapacitated. The rest of the Council will die, leaving Bolbok as the sole functioning Councilor. He will (try to) use this to become a de facto dictator. If he does succeed, his reign will be very brief, but lasting long enough to order a heavy-handed retaliation against the Undercity.

Vi and Caitlyn will leave Piltover/Zaun at the end of Season Two, possibly to find Jinx
We've been told that, after Season Two, the show will shift to other locations on Runeterra. While this makes sense given the diversity of League lore to explore, viewers who are unfamiliar with League might tune out... unless they have familiar characters to follow. Vi and Caitlyn are perfect candidates to be the Audience Surrogate while exploring the rest of Runeterra and meeting new characters. They may persist as protagonists for the rest of the series, or they may eventually leave once their own arcs are completed.

Jinx's rocket didn't just explode...
Seeing that Jinx's rocket was hexcharged, it doesn't just hit the Council's building and explode. It'll rip a hole in reality, causing it to bridge an opening between parallel universes (LoL has introduced parallel realities, such as Pulsefire and PROJECT). Due to Jinx, she's not only started a war between Piltover and Zaun, but she's also inadvertently started a war between the reality that Piltover and Zaun exist in with a parallel reality as well.
  • Considering Viktor and Jayce's Hexcore is in the same building, there's a good chance the combination of the core and the rocket will result in something way worse than a normal explosion happening.
  • Also, the explosion doesn't just affect the Council but given the powerful nature of Hextech, it also causes extreme damage to any surrounding area of the explosion. Meaning that Jinx has caused an untold number of casualties.

Vi spends a day with Jinx trying to redeem her
As a form of foreshadowing from the season 1 finale, when Silco states that Vi would abandon Jinx in less than a day, will come to fruition. After a possible falling out from Caitlyn over how to handle her sister, Vi goes and finds Jinx, hoping she can redeem her and also escape their home now that Jinx is wanted in both Piltover and Zaun. As the day goes on, Jinx's impulsive, selfish, and destructive is taking a toll on Vi's emotional state. And then Jinx might say something that really breaks Vi's attempts to salvage her, basically a Kick the Dog moment — Making fun of Caitlyn during her kidnapping and/or desecrating the (possible) death of Caitlyn's mother, belittling Vi's trauma over their past, and/or the biggest guess — deliberately shooting Vi after the latter honestly admits how she views the current Jinx (and maybe also revealing she was the one that named Jinx to the Council in a way to help her). Either way, by the end of their day together, Vi has fully given up on Jinx.

The Reveal of what happened between Caitlyn and Vi in the bedroom scene from the first season
  • They have their First Kiss with Vi initiating and end up falling asleep while cuddling.
  • Similar to the above possible situation, but Vi attempts to also initiate Their First Time but Caitlyn stops and thinks they should talk about the Elephant in the Living Room — Jinx. And they utter the same dialogue from the season 2 teaser trailer.
  • They have Their First Time but afterwards have to talk about Jinx.

There is a Time Skip after the third episode
If the second season follows the same format as the first season. And with that Time Skip all of the characters directly tied to the League of Legends lore will be closer to said counterparts.

A gun fight between Caitlyn and Jinx
Either Caitlyn tracks her down or Jinx tries to personally kill her, they get into a gun fight. However, since Vi not there to hold her back, Caitlyn wastes no time in using her marksmanship to subdue Jinx. They may even get into a conversation with Jinx trying to use Vi's "abandonment" card again, only for Caitlyn to factually state that won't work on her — Caitlyn will go on to say that Jinx is a grown woman and Vi suffered just as much, if not more, trauma than Jinx did but didn't become an overly violent, sadistic monster. She'll go on to say that she will kill her even if it means losing her bond with Vi.

Vi and Caitlyn have a moment where they are a Battle Couple
And both become awed at seeing the others' respective badass skills.

Caitlyn comes up with elaborate traps to rid the Undercity of criminals
She's a Trap Master in League of Legends, so she will most likely make plans/traps to rid certain bad people (i.e., Sevika, Jinx, possibly Ambessa) from further harming the Undercity. She will enlist the help of those she can trust (Vi, Jayce, Ekko and the Firelights, possibly Mel if she doesn't die, and possibly Heimerdinger).

Flashback of Cassandra teaching Caitlyn how to shoot a rifle
We’ll have a flashback scene where Cassandra is teach Caitlyn how to shoot.

Vi comes to understand Vander's desire for peace
In Act 1, all Vi wanted was a chance for a better life in Zaun even if it meant going to war but Vander cautioned her against it. Come season 2, Vi sees the destruction and deaths caused by Jinx's weapon and comes to sobering realization of what Vander meant: All war does is cause untold suffering. She might also see siblings mourning the loss of their parents, reminding her of her childhood trauma.

The Last Drop will be fully destroyed
Possibly by Jinx's own hand.

Ekko becomes a Shipper on Deck for Vi and Caitlyn
Ekko will notice Vi and Caitlyn becoming closer together and will probably tease Vi on her growing relationship with Caitlyn.

Vi sings Across the River to Caitlyn
Vi sings the lullaby to Caitlyn while they’re cuddling in Caitlyn’s bed after some love making. She could explain that her mother used to sing that song to her and Powder. It makes sense since Vi’s voice actress is also a singer.

Jinx will start to become more kinder
Despite all the things she has done ever since the incident between her and Vi, she did have care for her and even loved her big sister before turning herself into who she is now. There is a possibility that she will somehow be much kinder which could help her over her Redemption Arc.

Jinx will affect a British accent at some point
Possibly to mimic Silco or Caitlyn.

Jinx never forgave Vi for what she did and said to her at the factory, and will tell her so

A character will attempt suicide

After seeing her fire the rocket, Caitlyn would attack Jinx

How the first Season 2 intro will begin
  • Following immediately after the season 1 finale episode - Jinx's explosion goes off at the Council. Vi and Caitlyn watch helplessly while trying to get there. Everyone, from Zaun and Piltover, stare in awe and horror. And Jinx looks on with a neutral, cold expression.
  • Flashback options:
    • We see what happened between Caitlyn and Vi while in the former's bedroom. And their dialogue continues as the present into plays out.
    • A combination of Happy Flashbacks alternating between the younger selves of Vi, Jinx, and Caitlyn that parallel their older selves. Or, sense the series is about Vi and Jinx's relationship, it may just be the former two.
  • Flashforward options, in a How We Got Here scenario:
    • The audience sees Vi and Jinx, both tired and bloodied, in a heated battle. And after both of them catch their breaths, they start again.
    • Caitlyn attending her mother's funeral as well as the funerals of the other Council Members (save Jayce and possibly Mel).
    • Vi or Jinx cradling the other's seemingly dead body.
  • As a foil to the beginning of the first season's intro:
    • The atmosphere is surrounded by a misty blue, symbolizing Jinx's color scheme.
    • There is no one singing. Alternatively, while there is singing, it's more fast-paced.
    • Vi is carrying an injured Caitlyn. And they both escape from Zaun to Piltover. They are chased by Silco's goons, including Sevika. As such, they have to fight and run at the same time. Vi does her best to protect and shield Caitlyn while the latter uses whatever handy as a weapon.
