Arcane has officially concluded its 18-episode run, leaving fans with an unforgettable journey through the League of Legends universe, but also a lingering question: Is Jinx really dead?
In the final moments of season 2, Jinx sacrifices herself during a battle with Warwick, a corrupted version of their father figure, Vander. After saving Vi, she seems to fall to her death with Warwick, but the ambiguity of the scene has sparked fan theories about her survival. Some viewers have pointed out clues that suggest Jinx might have escaped, particularly an airship theory. This theory suggests that Jinx, using the air ducts in the building where the battle took place, might have fled the city on an airship—an idea first introduced in the show’s very first episode when Powder (Jinx’s former self) declared she’d one day ride in an airship. The connection between these two moments has fans speculating that Jinx could have survived after all.
While Arcane season 2 doesn’t give a definitive answer, there’s hope that Jinx’s story isn’t over. The creators have hinted that the animated League of Legends universe is far from finished, and while there won’t be a third season of Arcane, it’s possible that Jinx could appear in future projects set in the same world. However, with no official announcements or details about any new shows, fans will have to wait and see if Jinx’s fate will be revisited.
For now, the entire Arcane series is available on Netflix, so fans can revisit the show or watch it for the first time to explore the intricate world of Piltover and Zaun and continue debating Jinx’s fate.
