Arcane’s universe is getting better and richer with each new installment. It is indeed one of the best animated shows ever, but lately, it has surpassed its own standards with each passing episode. The storytelling tends to get better simultaneously with the animation quality.
Arcane Season 2 premiered with Act 1 on November 9, 2024, and since then, the show’s fans have been curiously awaiting the second act. Well, when the anticipated episodes 4-6 arrived, we couldn’t agree more that it was the peak of cinema and a rollercoaster of emotions. While the fourth and fifth episodes of Arcane Season 2 made us smile a little more, the sixth episode left no stone unturned to make fans shed some tears at the end. So, what exactly happened in the ending of Arcane Season 2 Act 2? Let’s find out.
Spoiler Warning: This post includes spoilers for the Arcane animated TV show, now out on Netflix.
Yes, Dies in the Arcane Season 2 Act 2
While Isha‘s fate is still uncertain, it’s safe to assume that she dies in Arcane Season 2 Episode 6. The mute kid named Isha played a crucial role in Jinx’s story since the day she crossed paths with the blue-haired troubled child.
While running from a group of men, Isha came across Jinx, who became a significant part of her life. Isha found a family in Jinx, so she doesn’t even think twice before running towards her death to save Jinx from the bloodthirsty beast, Warwick. She turns toward Jinx for one last time and looks at her with the most adorable smile and tears in her eyes.
After that, she shoots Warwick with Jinx’s new Hextech-imbued gun, causing a massive explosion. The explosion is caused because of Isha using three gemstones in the gun. So, it’s pretty apparent that we will not be able to see the little girl in the upcoming act.
Isha had become a pivotal part of Jinx’s life. That’s evident from the fact that the blue-haired girl was about to go after Isha when she was standing in front of Warwick with the gun. Isha was seen slowly bringing the calm Powder out of Jinx, but now that the little girl had been killed, we cannot expect Jinx to gain her sanity anytime soon.

After encountering Vi and making her fall to the ground, we see Caitlyn taking her and handing her over to Ambessa. However, later, we learn that the whole thing was a set up to capture Ambessa and help Vander, aka Warwick, escape.
Rictus gets hold of Caitlyn, and just when he is about to unleash a heavy attack on her, Jinx steps in and starts fighting the big guy. However, seeing Rictus’ heavy build, we knew that Jinx would not be able to tackle him for too long. When our blue-haired protagonist is about to get beaten up, she is protected by Warwick, who defeats the opponent instantly.
Jayce enters the picture, and this time with an all-new avatar. He starts hearing echoed voices in his head. He seemingly murders Viktor, and we get to see Zaunites who were healed by Viktor quickly transforming into lifeless bodies.
Warwick also gets infuriated after losing Viktor’s control and starts attacking everyone around him, including the armed forces unleashed by Ambessa. Witnessing Jinx stuck in all the chaos, Isha picks up her gun and happily sacrifices herself to protect the one who protected her once.
