I just realized (thanks to this post by @art-of-arcane) that the Viktor in the Arcane S2 posterā¦ the one we were all theorizing aboutā¦ itās literally just his model. Itās the exact same, from the pose, the angle of his head, the crutch being on his right side, down to the way heās holding his other hand (although it appears they bent his elbow a little and raised his fist).
I feel like this is just more proof that he will not look like this at all in S2. They are going to regurgitate S1 content to mislead us away from his Machine Herald look.

My Arcane Season 2 Theories
Iām going to try and post some of my theories for Arcane S2 in more depth before it airs, but the chances of that seem to be less likely with each passing day.
So, hereās a list of some of my bigger theories.
I will admit, since this is the last season, Iām not as confident in some of these as I was before, so the theories are largely listed in order of how likely I think they are (more or less).
Also, if I happen to be right or wrong - please don't confirm either way with information from the leaks, as I want to watch the show and see for myself.
Theory 1
Heimerdinger didnāt just neglect the Undercity he took direct action against the āUndercityā or the group of people before there were even the Fissures.
Basically, Heimerdinger has a very dark past and heās not exactly the sweet, grandfatherly wise-figure S1 made him out to be.
To be clear, I donāt think heās putting on an act and I also donāt think heās evil (necessarily), but I 100% believe he's done some truly horrific and objectively evil things, maybe not himself, but he certainly ordered them.
Heās justified his actions by telling himself and others it was necessary for the greater good, but that's rather subjective, especially when others who aren't you are suffering for this supposed "greater good."
There are dangerous threats and realities to this world, but that doesnāt justify the cruelty thatās happened to Zaun.
Some theories fall under this one
Theory 1A
A big part of āfor the greater goodā was to protect people from the āArcaneā or to keep it hidden.
But because of his and Piltover actions, the 'Arcane' will now be found and used.
Heimerdinger has created an extremely vulnerable population of people who are suffering and are in dire need of help, and I think Viktor will try to help these people, but they will just become 'victims' of the Hexcore and the 'Arcane.' What exactly that means, I have no idea -
Nonetheless, Heimerdingerās past actions will directly lead to what he was trying to prevent.
Theory 1B
A decent amount of Piltoverās history has been edited, erased, or straight up rewritten for the āgreater goodā and ākeeping the peace.ā
Theory 1C
Heimerdinger and Ekko will fall apart because of Heimerdingerās actions in the past.
I think Heimerdinger will want Ekko to ignore the past (the opposite of what he was saying last season) and instead just look towards the future, but Ekko wonāt.
Or even better, Ekko will realize you can't move forward until you address the past.
Theory 1D
Piltover may be 200 years old, but āZaunā (KhaāZhun or Osha Va Zaun) is significantly older; perhaps not 3,000 years old like in league lore, but itās definitely older than Piltover.
Theory 1E
Genocide of mages. Lots of genocide.
Theory 2
Jinx and Ekko will team up and be allies.
Maybe this new found partnership wonāt last until the end of the season, but I think their relationship will end on a far better point then it did in S1.
It might not be perfect or super happy, but there will at least be an indication of hope for these two.
Theory 3
Jinx wonāt be immune to mind-control or mind-fuckery BUT it will be nearly impossible to keep her in that state.
While Jinx might easily succumb to someone taking over or messing with her mind, she will break free of it eventually and whoever (whatever) has done that to her should be terrified.
Obviously, this depends on who or what is going to be doing this and how theyāll do it, but unlike the majority of the other characters, Jinx doesnāt blindly trust her reality.
Because she canāt.
She's well aware that what she sees and hears isnāt always real, which is very unique to her.
The other characters have never had to question their reality let alone doubt what theyāre seeing and hearing and thatāll make them even more vulnerable to this potential mind-fuckery or control than even Jinx is.
I also think Jinx is far more observant and intelligent then whoever (whatever) is going to be trying to control her thinks she is. Plus, her way of thinking and viewing the world is very unique to her and it wonāt be easy to replicate and thatās not even including the fact she is very crazy.
Basically, I think Jinxās mental instability is going to make her very vulnerable, but also give her a chance to fight back or really the life and experiences sheās had due to her mental instability will help her in one way or another.
A mini theory that's really more of a hope
BLANK will try to control or hurt Jinx using the memory or image of Silco, but this will be their downfall, as it won't work and they'll have a very furious Jinx to deal with.
Using Silco wonāt work because Jinx canāt pretend she didnāt kill him, her guilt and self-loathing wonāt let her. In addition, Jinx knew Silco better than anyone, certainly better than BLANK will know him, even if they are using Jinx's mind or memories.
What Iām really hoping for is Jinx wonāt let anyone take Silcoās love away from her.
Silcoās love for his daughter will ultimately be a positive thing and help her when sheās at her lowest point ā I'm imagining a similar scene to Vi being down for the count, but then āVanderā encouraged her to get up.
Theory 4
Vi wonāt become Vi from the game; rather than becoming Piltoverās enforcer, sheāll end up as an enforcer for the Undercity ā as in sheāll be a protector of Zaun.
Theory 5
Mel will be badly injured from Jinxās bomb, but is ultimately saved by the Hexcore.
It will āhealā her, which wonāt be a good thing in the end, as it will likely ācorruptā her and weāll see her become a loyal servant to it or even controlled by it.
This could be why we see Ambessa in the area where that stained-glass bubble thing is, seemingly telling her men to charge while she has tears in her eyes.
Theory 6
Kino Medarda is alive.
Ambessa definitely thinkās he dead, she wasnāt lying or trying to manipulate Mel, but Kino is alive and well (relatively speaking).
Heās either acting against his mother or whoever Ambessa thought killed him, or both. I think he will be an ally to his sister and if I'm right about Theory 5, important to her story and waking up from the Hexcore's control.
Theory 7
Jinx brought Fiddlesticks into the world in S1, Ep5 āEveryone Wants to Be My Enemyā
Iām sticking by this theory until the very end, even as it becomes more and more unlikely.
I just think itās weird the first time weāre told how hextech works - basically opening up a gateway to the realm of the heebie-jeebies (Jinxās words) and then after that explanation thereās a giant blast from Jinx's attempt at hextech, and then suddenly crows are very, very interested in Jinx.
Also letās be real, Jinx is the one person whose luck is so bad that the first time she officially tries to use hextech, she opened a gateway or created a big enough rift which allowed Fiddlesticks back into the world.
Jayce and Viktor can play around with the stuff all they want without ever bringing forth any kind of demon, but Jinx does it ONCE and she summons the one and only primordial demon of fear, because of course she did. Of course, her luck is that bad.
And while not so much literally (though maybe, but I doubt it) there could be a bit of a Fiddlesticks vs Janna kind of thing with Jinx ā as in who is Jinx?
Is she Fiddlestickās Crow of Death or Jannaās Bluebird of Freedom?
I think if this were to happen it would be a symbolic ābattleā more than anything, but this is a world where this stuff does indeed exist, so it's technically possible.
So, there we have it.
Some of these are pretty obvious, but I would feel remiss if I didnāt mention them. And others...
Listen if I happen to be right, I just want to point to this post and say ā SEE!!! Look, I Was Right!!!!
But we shall see as November 9th (my birthday) approaches ever closer.

Arcane saison 2 theory /analyse /spoiler
in season 1 Caitlyn has her hair on the right side. or from the moment she has her new outfit and her new haircut, very military, when she becomes radicalized her hair changes sides. also she wears a bun, it is certainly more practical, which is common to the army because more practical but also much stricter. I interpret this change as a way of illustrating her radicalization. we see in the season when she is from undercity/zaun that she wears a ponytail. it certainly allows her to blend better with the crowd which is not so strict but we see that the ponytail is a practical cut. also in season 1 when she was an enforcer she had her hair down, certainly the routine of the police force was certainly. calmer but even in more intense moments like during her first investigation she has her hair down. that's why I believe that these hairstyle changes evoke her personality. in arcane we can also see this with characters like vi.
however at the end of season 2 as put in the trailer cait changed her hairstyle again. so it is not uncommon that during a fight she is disheveled but she no longer really has a lock on one side on the contrary her hair falls on both sides. so it is my theory at this time cait changed personality again finding herself in between her personality before and after where she would be more nuanced. an event comes to break the vengeful and dictatorial caitlyn making her more human like the one we knew in season 1. her beautiful neat haircut collapses like her vision of the world. a bit like in season 1 or elegant peacekeepers she changes her outfit and hairstyle when she goes to investigate in zaun. her vision of the world changes

Jinx's traces of make up after she has cried looks like Vi's face tattoo but backwards and they both have it in their left cheek.
Besides, her final look and outfit resembles her sister's in S1 and S2. The bandages covering her chest and the new hairstyle with the shaved undercut on the same side is also similar to Vi's.
After all it seems like Vi and Powder cannot coexist in the same timeline or dimension. When Powder lives, Violet doesn't. When Vi lives, Jinx decides not to. "Always with you, sis".
The parallels, the attention to detail and the design for each character in Arcane is insane. I can't believe this amazing series is over. I'm gonna miss these sisters like they were my relatives.

The theory of Caitlyn shooting Jinx's finger off to stop her from firing on Vi is so compelling.
Because Jinx had a mechanical finger in the Arcane Artbook cover

Mel is alive, but at what cost
Mel was nearly killed TWICE, her mother began being a struggle, she'd been thrown aside and trying her best to stop her, her boyfriend is not doing well, neither is anyone else (can't blame them) and the fact that she hadn't cried or spoke much about this situation to anyone a single time?? She IS upset about every single thing, yet she stays strong and enduring every bit of torture. The most she did was tell Jayce that Ambessa put her palm on the table, and let him know that she is going to push for hextech. That's it, nothing remotely related to her feelings.
The fact that she was constantly looking at Caitlyn, being able to understand her grief and knew she was in pain?? Mel knows this feeling. She'd went through it.
And in the end SHE has to pay the price of her mothers incompetence.
The intro is very much foreshadowing, we know the hands represent black rose/LeBlanc.
This is what happens in act one, she gets kidnapped by them. The lyrics do correspond to the characters as well (not just Mel, everyone.)
"Tell you you're the greatest" plays as a petal of the black rose floats down the screen, I think it adds significance to the power this organization holds, possibly the Medardas greatest foe.
"But once you turn, they hate us" both Ambessa and Mel were present in this line, I think its foreshadowing for when Ambessa switches up for whatever reason and goes against both Piltover AND Zaun. And Mel WILL go through change as well, a change that could hurt her relationship with others, and receive interest from others too.
"They hate us" could be read individually too, I feel like its a sort of "realization" ?? Perhaps Ambessa WASN'T the one that switched up, maybe Piltover switched up on them, and maybe Mel JUST got out of wherever she's taken to, and saw the mess Ambessa had done to her city??
I think this represents ACT TWO.
The hands pull away and it sort of looks like Mel is fighting back, a "get away from me" type of scream. you know what this reminds me of??
Don't mind me just pushing my Jinx/powder-Mel parallel agenda
Here is when i think Mel truly learns about LeBlanc/BR, she curiously and slowly goes to grab the rose, she learns about the history between her Mother and them, Kinos death, and most of all, learns about HERSELF. The lyrics speak otherwise.
"Pray away, I swear
I'll never be a saint, no way"
This feels like a parallel to caitlyn of sorts if that makes sense. Caitlyn had done everything to try and stop the council from attacking the Undercity, she kept her mouth shut when Jayce asked about Jinxs grenade, she was willing to protect Vi and the undercity, but how many times has she been tossed around? She'd been burned, exploded, kidnapped (god knows what happened during that time) and hit in the face by the same person, her MOTHER died because of the same person. She has every right to go insane. And she is hunting ONE person, which is Jinx. Although she is harming the people around her along the way.
What if Mel goes through a similar situation? Her mother pushed for war in her city, she dragged the enemy along with her even if she didn't mean to, she manipulated everyone around her INCLUDING Jayce, she LITERALLY got Mel hurt from the chembarons attack and killed so many people during a MEMORIAL to get her hextech weapons, Elora is most likely DEAD, not to mention whatever happened in the past between them. And the thing is, this will NEVER end throughout the entire season.
And what if she learns what she is? That she's 'blessed' by Kindred? The fact that the wolf is quite literally in her blood?
I feel like the "ill never be a saint, no way" also sort of indicates Mel will realize she'll never be able to push for peace and mercy like she always hoped for no matter what, and she comes to accept that as much as it hurts. But not like how ambessa accepted the wolf, but she sort of realizes she needs to push a little violence, towards nobody but the one and only, Ambessa "fine, if you want me to be like you, I guess I'll be like you towards YOU." Type of acceptance.
I think its also related to Mels new outfit too, she's dressed like her mother, in red and all of that. I will still stand by the idea that she has plans to decieve, but she will do something she doesn't want to do.
Mel was left with no choice, that lyric sounds like realization, acceptance, but also like a plea at the same time, an "I'll never be who I wanted to be" because in the end, she's still a Medarda, she's still her mothers daughter, she still has violence in her veins, she will never not suffer from the weight her name holds, and she will never escape it either, its like a shadow.
The Characters won't be themselves at their core this season. And those vital parts of their characters that represent them are no longer there in the intro, they all have given up what makes them, THEM design wise. (e.g.) Vi without her tattoo, Viktor hiding his identity with the mask. And the thing is, they did that to themselves because they do self-harm, they're changing themselves because THEY want to, they're forcing themselves to do that, they think they're undeserving and they're erasing their past selves.
But Mel? Mel doesn't have her gold accessories, Jewelry, or her Armor, she'd been stripped bare and hidden away because of the brutality of her name. She pays the price her mother brought to HER city. She's forced to change herself against her will, because nobody is giving her a chance to push for her ideals.
This entire theory never ends, and with all of this? I kinda do see Mel actually committing Matricide, it lifts the "Ambessa will die" theory further.

WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION STEP BY STEP
Ahsjjdjafajdsk I kinda want it and at the same time I really donāt. Like I donāt think it should be skipped over. The things heās going to do to himself, the things heās going to have to do in order to surviveā¦ thereās too much weight to them to be skipped over. You canāt just tell me he turned himself into a seven foot tall cyborg without explaining a little bit of it. His reasons, his mindset, his mental state. The man basically lobotomizes himself, and you canāt just put that in a summary.
That said, I will perish. Iām not sure how much I can handle of Viktorās transformation. Like Iāll watch it, donāt get me wrong. But they gave us such a sweet, empathetic, emotionally invested character, andā¦ to watch it all get destroyed??
But I also think that Vi/Cait/Jinx is the main storyline, and we all know it. Which means that in an hour-long episode, they can only spare so much time for this. So weāll probably see pieces-parts of his transformationā¦ just enough to traumatize us into oblivionā¦ and then the rest will be implied, probably through a time skip.

the fact that Singed is more or less responsible for 90% of the problems in Arcane yet never really gets the blame for it absolutely baffles me.
Like you have Caitlyn going full dictator, Ambessa going full warlord, Viktor and Jayce getting divorced and Viktor transcending into Yaoi Jesus and then getting obliterated, Mel getting kidnapped, Jinx becoming a mom and supposedly loosing her child, Heimerdinger Ekko and Jayce playing Escape Room but with the Arcane and meanwhilst Singed, THE MAN WHO CREATED SHIMMER AND TURNED VANDER INTO WARWICK IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ALSO MENTORED VIKTOR JUST OUT THERE CHILLING WITH HIS PETS AND DOING SIDE QUESTS-
