Nov. 16, 2024Warwick then arrives and recognizes Powder and Vi, but then, at theend of Arcane Season 2 Act 2, we see Isha shooting at Warwick, causing an explosion with Jinx’s upgraded Hextech-powered gun. So, is Vander aka Warwick dead in Arcane? Here’s the answer that might intrigue you.
Spoiler Warning: This article includes heavy spoilers for season 2 of the Arcane animated series.
Is Vander’s Warwick Dead in Arcane?
Vander aka Warwick’s fate in Arcane is uncertain at the time of writing this article,but it’s safe to assume that he is alive.Ishacauses a blast by firing Jinx’s gun that has three hextech crystals, so even though our little girl might have died, Warwick will indeed survive.
Singed, who created the monster, revealed to Caitlyn andAmbessathatWarwick’s regenerative abilities can bring a dead person to life, so how can he die with a mere blast? All that amazing build-up for nothing? Well, I don’t think so.
Following Vander’s death in Arcane Season 1, there were several speculations and fan theories on how the character would make a comeback in the TV show. When the first look of Warwick surfaced online, fans started discussing how this monstrous creature could be Vander.
In the ninth episode of Arcane Season 1, Singed (akaDr Corin Reveck) took Vander’s body, which gave us several reasons to speculate. Now that the pivotal character has re-entered the picture, it would make no sense if he gets killed instantly – that too by a character who was just introduced.
Warwick will surely return, but not in his Vander avatar. He will be as deadly as he was in the final moments of Act 2 of the second season. Viktor almost finds Vander inside that beast, but theMachine Herald’s death at the hands of Jaycecauses Vander to lose control, sinking to the depths within and being devoured by the monster.
For now, let’s just say that Vander is lost within that beast, and all that remains is the bloodthirsty Warwick. However, that doesn’t mean that Vander can’t return to the TV series. Vander recognized Powder and Vi before without any help from Viktor.
So, that might again happen in the final act, but the beast will claim several innocent lives before Vander takes back control of the body.
