League of Legends' first animated series, "Battle of Two Cities", will be released on November 7 this week, and Fist Games has also released a final trailer to warm up. In this trailer, we see more of the original content that was not released before, including some original characters from the League of Legends universe. "The Battle of Two Cities" is a 6-hour animated series, which is comparable to the length of some japanese and half-year-long manga, and the struggle between Picheng and Zu'an, as well as the origin stories of some heroes, will be revealed to us one by one.
There is no doubt that "The Battle of Two Cities" is a multi-line narrative design, which on the surface seems to be about the two sisters Wei and Jinx, but in fact involves a lot of heroes and characters. This will be the biggest narrative in the history of the League of Legends universe, and it will even rewrite many of the existing settings, after all, it is not easy to make the heroes in the moba game link. Before the start of this animated series, Sara also summarized the current content and shared with you what plot clues may appear in "The Battle of Two Cities".
The story of the Battle of the Twin Cities takes place in Piltwolf and Zuan, referred to as Picheng Zuan. More than 3,000 years ago, during the reign of the Shurima Empire, the port city of Vazuan arose, becoming a passage between the continents of Valoran and Shurema, and naturally becoming a trading center. With the fall of Shurima, the port city became independent and Became Zuan, and some families quickly accumulated wealth. About two hundred years ago, the Zuan decided to use explosives to open the Pilt Canal, but the explosion caused by construction errors split the city of Zuan in two, and the sea flooded many areas of the lower city.
The real meaning of the name Pietrov is that on the Pierte Canal, the merchant family established the Sun Gate and took charge of the water and land transport between the two continents, and they continued to expand their prosperity. Piltwolf became the upper town of Zuan, highly developed in culture, commerce and technology. Where there is light, there must be shadows, Zuan becomes the sacrificial part, the bottom city is not only a harsh environment full of gangs, but the alchemist baron uses chemical technology to strengthen his control. The disparity between rich and poor and the difference in status have become the eternal contradictions of the Twin Cities, and in recent years, they have become more and more intense, and may even lead to war.
For ordinary League of Legends fans, everyone knows that Jinx is a crazy girl who likes to explode, specifically against the guards of PiCheng, and Wei is the law enforcement officer of Picheng and the nemesis of Jinx. In fact, the two grew up together in zuan's orphanage, and the official has confirmed that they are "sisters", and it is uncertain whether there is a blood relationship, after all, Wei looks a few years older than Jinx.
From the existing materials of the animation, we can clearly know that Jinkes was a very cute little girl when she was a child, and she had the same relationship as Wei, and her eyes were blue at that time, and now they are red. It is likely that Kinx was influenced by chemicals to become what she is now, because Zuan is a place where chemicals are abused. Wei jimkes was the protector of the eldest sister's head when she was a child, and was the leader of this group of orphans.
Wei's group of orphans can now be sure that at least two other characters have more scenes, one is fat and the other is thin. In fact, in Wei's previous short stories, there were other orphans who regarded Wei as betrayers. Because Wei joined the Picheng guards, they still lived a fierce life in Zu'an. For Jinx, Wei is certainly a betrayer, but there may be other reasons why the two have turned against each other.
The original name of the animation of "Battle of Two Cities" is "arcane", the most common translation is arcane, corresponding to the power of the Hex Crystal, which is also the core of the film. The Picheng family developed a new energy source called Hex Crystal, which was very expensive. Hex crystal is very versatile, can bring huge power, naturally coveted by people. Even the people of Picheng had difficulty obtaining the Hex Crystal, let alone the Zuan people.
A new character who hates Picheng and has a disfigured face, Hilko, who obtains some Hex crystals through special means. Believing that the Upper City had taken everything and that there was no hope for the Bottom City, He had been encouraging the Zuans to oppose the Picheng people. Hilko may be related to the Chemical Baron, who is the ruler of Zuan and has a strong power. Judging from the current intelligence, Hilko intends to use the Hex Crystal to make some weapons, or to strengthen his own strength and use the Hex Crystal to transform the human body.
Jinx stole the Hex Crystal, perhaps more than one. Naturally, Hilco was furious, and he found Kinks through various means and captured him. Hilco also knows biochemical technology, and one of his women is obviously a reinforcer, and he has a confrontation with Wei. Kinks may have been transformed into the madman she is now after Being experimented with human experiments by Hilko. At the same time, Jace also obtained the Hex Crystal in his hand, causing a loss of control of power in the study.
Wei should have a lot of fight scenes in this animated series, she learned boxing from the bar owner, the bar should be the Zuan bar that often appears in the trailer, the bar owner may be Vandal. From the character poster, there is a scene where Vandal holds the frightened Jinxe and snuggles up next to him, he may be the half father of the two orphans. Wei Xuequan is to protect orphans, because Zuan is a society of the weak and the strong, and there are many gangs. Jin Kesi and others also learned boxing techniques from Wei, but their combat effectiveness was certainly not as strong as Wei's.
Wei knew that Jinx had stolen the Hex Crystal, and when Jinks was in danger, she should have made some radical moves, which led to her being captured and imprisoned by the Guards of PiCheng. However, Hilco hates the Pi City guards, and it is unlikely that he will capture Wei and throw them to the Pi City guards, the specific details are not clear. When Awe is in prison, Caitlin visits her, and the two may have reached some agreement, such as Caitlin asking Aoi to help her investigate or fight against Zuan's forces, and Thato is free to go back to save Kinkith.
As for whether Wei became a guard of Pi City as one of the conditions for her release from prison, or whether she joined after establishing a friendship with Caitlin, it is still difficult to confirm. Because Caitlin herself has fewer character stories, she was a detective before becoming a Pi City policewoman, and she was involved in some of Zuan's case investigations, which may be part of the animated series. The author is more inclined to be unable to recover the parting of Jinxe, so he chooses to join the Picheng guards to stop her.
Twin Cities has a lot of explosions and fire scenes, most likely caused by the Hex Crystal, but it's also possible that Hilko's plot, after all, Zuan can easily get chemicals. Kirko is undoubtedly the initiator of all kinds of accidents, he is a crazy chemist who conducts a lot of terrible experiments. Judging from the previous lines, Hilko should have wanted to use the Hex Crystal to transform humans, and then use it against the major families of Pi City.
The Picheng family will not sit still, and the Picheng is ruled by several families, one of which is the Midalda family. The family was known for its trade, and they tried to maintain their current dominance, while Mel was the upper echelon of the Midalda family. We can clearly see that she is a person who will do whatever it takes to benefit, and she is likely to instruct the Picheng guards to violently suppress Zuan's rebellion, and the Picheng guards should clash with Wei and others, after all, the Zuan people have always been unhappy with the Picheng people.
The League of Legends universe is a tradition of eating books, and "Battle of two cities" is an expansion of the League of Legends IP, which will definitely have an impact on the existing storyline. But this story is something that happened when Jinx and Wei were young, and it belongs to the origin story, and their current personality is fixed. This animation is not only aimed at League of Legends fans, fist games also hope to go out of the circle, so that more people understand the image and plot of League of Legends characters.
However, the previous feature includes a revisit of the old place of Kinx after growing up, and this animation should also include some of the content of the current timeline to promote the development of the characters. "Battle of Two Cities" is staged in three weeks, which may be based on the content of the story, and the three chapters correspond to three different contents. Fist Games has produced 11 songs for this anime, which are divided into three weeks, and the songs of the week are definitely the animation plot of the week, and we may be able to glimpse some context from them.
The first week is playground, our love, goodbye, the first two songs are named positive colors, probably showing some funny things that Kinkis and Wei encountered when they grew up, creating good memories, they fight each other and protect each other. Goodbye indicates that they are beginning to break up, or that Kinks was captured for stealing the Hex Crystal. The third episode of the anime is definitely going to leave some suspense and attract viewers to pay attention to the animation content of the second week. According to the three-part structure of the film, the first week is mainly to introduce the characters and introduce them to the audience.
The second week is dirty critters, nemesis, and hired gunmen, and the names of these three songs are a bit hazy, and it is difficult to see the plot development directly. The small animal refers to the children of Zuan, whose nemesis has now been released, and is a narrative from the perspective of Jinx, who gradually changes from a naïve little girl to a protagonist with an independent personality. The plot of the second week may be Wei confronting Hilko head-on, Jinx further into madness, and the conflict between the Pi City guards and the Zuan people, after all, there are many side plots of this animation, and the side lines also have conflicts and difficult choices.
The third week was misplaced toys, how perfect, snakes, things were not going well, I could have. The names of the five songs in this chapter are all different metaphors, there is a strong contradiction and confrontation, as the climax of "The Battle of Two Cities", this chapter has a lot of fight plots, the reunion of Wei and Jinx, the different research and development concepts of Jace and Victor lead to a rupture, and the crowd joins forces to solve the crisis of trust in the Twin Cities, which may be staged in this part. Officially mentioned this week that there are follow-up seasons for "Battle of two cities", so this season is mainly to enrich the character image and promote the plot development.
