Jhin is very particular about his plans being 4 steps, it's quite obvious that his 4 step is hwei

Jhin's nickname is literally called "the golden demon" and did influence Hwei in some ways. It doesn't have to be an ACTUAL demon since Jhin messed with his complex emotions like an actual demon so its pretty close imo. I'm pretty sure Jhin wants Hwei to pursue him so Hwei could create a path of destruction just to get some answers. Hwei is Jhin 4th tragedy in the making but it isn't certain yet until he finds him. There is alot of different directions this story could go so I'm super invested in it and I already fkin love Hwei as a champion. ... I just noticed all my favorite champs/lore are either crazy/depressed/tragic like Hwei, Vex, Jhin, Aphelios, Jinx, Zoe lmao

I like that Hwei isnt connected to demons. We need to remember this about worldbuilding... just because it is there not all needs to be connected. A world isn't so small that every single things has to have a connection with it other. A balance must be struck with each new story, it is fun to make unexpected mixtures but it good too have "homegenious" situations. We got Nillah recently as someone with a direct connection to a demon... and even as a expansion of the world as she is from a new continent, i don't think that if Hwei did have a demon contract it would make his story bad, but i like that the "demon" he is connected too is in reality one of the well constructed "monsters" from universe. About Jhin's magic... i think he is a illusionist, his main form of damage is "physical" but he can imbue his weapons with magic to create images, and in the case of his lotus bombs they get empowered because they must be some sort of special "magitech", like hextech but Ionian in nature. We do know that the Kashuri armory was making very special weapons even by the standard of Piltover and Zaun, and Jhin having what i think is a genius level intellect he must be able to at least be able to replicated some of those weapons... but he is still connected to some of the inventors to replenish on new toys.

@gonzalosantana4039

6 ай бұрын

He does imbue his weapons with magic, at least, it´s stated like that in Zed's comic. Thats why when someone touches his art, it dissolves and shows the real massacre

i think he wants answers but he already kinda know it, jhin freed him from his ties or chains to his duties since they were holding him back, now he can explore the potential jhin saw on him, he is free to explore his talent withuout retrains. Talking about it wouldnt have helped him, we are bound to be what others expect and dont prioritize our potential, but without a reason to stay he could trully be free. Destuction can be a new way to renew things, old ways or traditions are hard to change and leave little room for improvement. starting anew can bring something much better or worse, it all depends on what is painted on the new canvas.

I think it would be really interesting if Sona was one of those people that were exiled from Hwei's temple for becoming too good at their mystical art. Sona being able to telepathically communicate, and force emotions and even body movements, on others through her music lines up exactly with the guidelines Hwei's story states are reasons for someone to be exiled from the temple.Then at some point after her exile, while she's wandering trying to find a new home, she gets picked up and brought to Demacia. And if Sona was part of the temple, that would open up the possibility that it's not explicitly a paint-magic temple, but an art-magic temple, and that there could be other future champions that were prior exiles from there with other art forms. Imagine a new champ that literally dances around the battlefield, or one that makes sculptures that come to life to fight for them, etc. Heck, maybe even Jhin was an exile playwright who was able to make his actors perform exactly as he wanted in a puppeteer type way against their wills, and he grew fascinated with tragedy plays and wants to make the whole world itself into one giant tragedy filled with death and beauty. Could even say that Sona managed to follow the "light" path and resist the temptations of the "dark", while Jhin was the opposite - falling fully into the "dark" and losing sight of the "light". While Hwei is now having to experience that struggle himself.

She came into Demacia as an orphan, so her being exiled as a child doesn't make much sense. What is more plausible imo, is that one (or both) of her parents attended the Koyehn temple, broke the rules and were exiled for it. Even exiled, they still practiced the magical art, eventually settling down, having a family and passing the art to their children - Sona. But as the Noxian invasion happened, Sona and her parents were separated, Sona made it to Demacia and to remember her parents, she kept practicing the art they taught her, without realizing that it's wrong and that she would be exiled for it, if she practiced it at the temple.

@@Donovarkhallum Yeah but you have to consider that her getting to Demacia could've taken years. Demacia and Ionia are far apart, separated not only by sea, but also by Noxus. To put it more into perspective, it's as if she went from Japan to Europe without modern means of transport during wartime and if Europe and Asia were at constant war with each other. Also, she most likely didn't want to reach Demacia as her destination, so she could've wondered for a very long time until she eventually ended up there (as opposed to her taking a straight line to Demacia, and even that would've taken months if everything went smooth).

Wouldn't it be crazy cool if the emotion magic thing Hwei and Sona have was the antithesis of the Demons? It would be dope what you can do with a demon and the ability to influence emotions via magic. Or maybe Demons ARE that magic (sry if I am out of the loop on a bit of lore)

@LadyTsunade777

IIRC Demons are heavily associated with emotions, especially when emotions run strong. Not necessarily only bad emotions either, but _all_ emotions. Nilah is associated with the Demon of Joy (and is even said to no longer have any other emotions than permanent joy), Evelynn is the Demon of Agony, Fiddlesticks is the Demon of Fear, etc. Meanwhile it seems like more "heavenly" beings/forces are often more serene and lacking emotions. The Aspects of Targon are often more muted in emotional capacity; like ASol, Taric, Leona, Diana, and Kayle are always pretty serene, and even Zoe is just mildly happy and not maniacally/insanely overly joyful. I even feel that Morgana, even though she's half Aspect, has much stronger and more outwardly shown hate towards Kayle than Kayle shows towards Morg, and Morgana is the one with heavier demonic themes.

And Asol isn't an aspect (hes a celestial and is someone who used to create stars before being imprisoned by Zoe) and he sure does show emotion and a lot of it, they all show emotion. Nilah being forever in a state of Joy quite literally harms her, she cannot feel another other emotion she cannot feel sadness she understands the concept and what it means to be sad but physically and emotionally cannot express the sadness or any other emotion. Demons target emotions as that is what fuels humans, you can manipulate how people feel quite easily and to then drain and feast upon that emotion they embody.

Maybe that wouldn't be so far away from the origins of Demons, I think. I believe Nocturne was "born" because many mages messed up with the shadow realms and their emotions start to "feed" that entity/power that eventually became known as Nocturne. The demons have to be born in some way. So the emotions of people like Sona and Hwei could very much be a kind of trigger for that. That's a possibility.

I kind of wished the bio (or video) went a bit more in depth with basically Hwei after the temple explosion. In the sense of him going around and either traumatizing people with his art by showing them atrocities or helping people. It's an interesting duality that fits with his character and something I think, at least the former, that Jhin brought out in him. I'm really interested to see where Hwei's story goes from here and I hope it isn't the last we hear from both Jhin and Hwei.

2:37 he kinda looks like Victor in Arcane 🧐

A small thing to note is that the temple massacre was Jhin's first performance after being freed from Tuula

One random thing that just came to mind in that the "ink circle" behind Hwei, besides looking like the Ouroboros, it also reminds me of the japanese "Ensō" ink circle. Please google it if you are interested, since the explanation would be a little long to write here. That Ensō circle has some interesting meanings in japanese culture. And since Ionia is basically the "Asia" of Runeterra, they may have took some inspiration from Ensō as well. If it's the case, maybe we can understand a little more of Hwei's art, his inspiration and his view of the world from there too. Also, the Ensō ink circle is related to Zen buddhism. And since Hwei was also in a Temple, that's another small connection there...

Now that i think of it, Hwei does know how Jhin looks under the mask. Technically so does Shen and Zed but they couldn't recognize him in a croud since he doesn't have noticeable features. Hwei spent some time with him talking and comparing art so would he be able to identify him? He could have had the mask on the entire time tho, specially since he introduced himself as his stage name Khada Jhin.

After many years Hwei finally manages to track down and ask Jhin a very important question. "Why did you do it?", asks Hwei. Jhin pauses for a moment and then turns to Hwei and says, "lol, lmao even" before swiftly taking his leave.

i need it in arcane season 3 please just imagine how gentle the colors would be the first half to the episode with jhin and hwei getting to know each other better then it cuts to black as hwei is asleep just to awake to the walls "so red with blood, flames, and... flowers." just imagine thousands of little explosions in a spider verse like art style

happy to hear sona mentioned ♡ thank you necrit

I have i serious insomnia that i can't handle without medication , but somehow, your voice helps me so much falling in sleep, thank you.

11:28 he IS his rival though... there is literally a whole in-game event where they have to kill each other

Even if there are no other Demons in Hwei's story, there is always The Golden Demon. 😎

In league client, achievements section, Collection tab, you can see that Jhin is considered to be a Mage because he's listed in the Mage Specialist achievement, that always bothered me for some reason

Necrit actually found the hwei

One of the possibilities that you mentioned, that being a "person who dances around the battlefield" seems more akin to Irelia, given that her story seems to be themed around dancing with the blades

I am relieved. Honestly. I think an artist doesn't need demons to have power and imagination. I think the artistic developers see him as a "self insert".

If you check the challenge for getting mastery 7 on mages, it lists the champions that fall under the classification. For quite some time now, I have wondered why Jhin was in there.

Hwei is step 4. In game, the two get passives when facing each other at level 12 (4 and 3 being present). If Hwei is able to ult Jhin to death, he shows him their skill and able to make Jhin cry from either the beauty or pain. If Jhin is able to ult Hwei to death, he makes Hwei his fourth piece and reaches his own twisted artistic talent as he puts an end to Hwei's.

Jhin has always been sort of a mage. He gets his weapons from the Kashuri armory and that patron from Legends of Runeterra but he always makes the bullets and infuse them with magic. The gun has to be some sort of hextech weapon that unleashes the raw magic contained in the bullets in different shapes based on the design so that the flesh and innard of his victims turn into trees, flowers and other shapes + I believe he also uses some sort of ilusion to enhance the effect and dissapear when interacted with based on Zed's comic, tho maybe its all in his imagination and the victims only see gore. Also he has to be a mage because he was able to do similar things with knives before he escaped the prison and got upgraded with the new arsenal.

I'm RELIEVED about no demons, let Jhin be insane on his own right!

I feel like Jhin did this to make an artist he felt was worthy to out shine him and take his place or kill him

in the league client jhin is actually classified as a mage and i never understood why untill this point
