Arcane Season 2: What Happened to Viktor?

Arcane Season 2 arrived three years after the first season, and we cannot deny that the animated TV series began to surprise us from the very first moment. As expected, Jinx caused massive destruction with her Hextech-equipped rocket in the final minutes of Season 1. The first act of Arcane Season 2 allowed us to learn that Mel and Jess, who were present in the tower during the attack, somehow managed to survive. Some councilors were found deadAlso, Victor almost died in this attackBut Jesse still doesn’t lose hope and uses Hextech to keep his friend alive as long as possible.

Spoiler warning: This post contains spoilers for Arcane Season 2, available now on Netflix.

Victor’s near death experience

Victor was never a part of Piltover’s council, but it cannot be denied that he played an important role in giving wings to Jess’s dreams. He became Jess’s biggest support system and helped make Piltover one of the most advanced cities in terms of technology. So, when he is almost killed by Jinx’s explosive attack, Jesse does not give up. The talented inventor used HexTech technology, and specifically HexCore, to create the cocoon and maintain Victor’s heartbeat.

This isn’t the first time Hexcore has influenced Victor in Arcane. Earlier, we saw his leg being treated with a mysterious technique. However, this time, the Hextech affected not only Victor’s body but also his mind and heart.

Victor’s path to becoming the Messiah

While we thought Victor was dead, the animated series surprised us by bringing him back to life, but this time in a new form. After coming out of the cocoon, we see Victor’s transformed mechanical body emit violet light,

Upon waking up from his coma, Victor goes to his best friend Jayce, and the first thing he asks is, ‘Who am I?’ Of course, like us, he too was surprised to see his newly formed body. When Jesse asked him if he felt cold, Victor replied that he didn’t feel anything except a charge running through his body.

Victor then says that Jess promised him that he would stop Hexacor, But why didn’t he do it? Jayce responded that HexCore isn’t that bad, so he decided to give it another chance. Hearing this reminded Victor of Skye, who had lost her life due to the same technique. Victor also tells Jesse that his journey with him is over, and he does not want to be a part of any of his inventions. Victor, who had never left Jesse’s side before, eventually decides to move on and start a new journey.

Victor finally stops feeling helpless

Due to his chronic illness, Victor remained helpless for the rest of his life. However, now, finally, he will be able to live his life on his own terms and help those around him – thanks to Hexcor.

After saying goodbye to Jayce, as Victor walks through the streets of Zun, all he sees is the poor condition of the people. He was seeing violence and disease everywhere. After being watched by several Shimmer addicts, Victor shows off what Hexacor has now blessed him with.

The Zonight who proceeds to rob Victor suffers from several maladies caused by Shimmer’s regular use and the poor environment of the place. He says, ‘Nothing personal, my friend, but we have needs we cannot ignore.,

Victor looks into his eyes and realizes the pain the man is going through, so he extends his hand to Zonite to help relieve him of the suffering. We see that the deformed parts of the person’s body get covered with some mechanical patches. Therefore, the one who people always considered weak finally emerges as someone who can even heal people’s maladies.

How Victor’s new body connects to League of Legends

Victor is the ‘Machine Herald’ in League of Legends, who believes that humanity can only realize its potential when massive technological advancements exist. He is also someone who believes that the human body is flawed and needs a mechanical backup to realize its full potential. So, now that in Arcane Season 2, Victor’s body is a mix of organic and mechanical elements, it’s safe to say that The character’s story in the game, as well as the animated series, is going in the same direction.,

Furthermore, in League of Legends lore, Victor has dedicated his entire life to technology, and in Arcane, we see him doing the same. Initially, he helps Jayce with his inventions, but in the present, he has left everything behind and is moving towards a life where he can help people with his new mechanical body and the powers that come with it. will help.
