The Lore of "Still Here" Cinematic Explained

Ritos storytelling will never cease to amaze me

purposely or not, i noticed the champions in cinematic also cover all lanes of the map :)
Top : Aatrox, Kayle, Trynda
Jungle : Kindred
Mid :Yasuo
ADC : Ashe
Support : Morgana

tbh i find yasuos part the most boring one

Yasuo cant do it bc windwall is on cooldown ;)

So yasuo inted again 💀

windwall was on cd i guess

Riot: The yasuo scene wasn’t canon but it’s a possible future
Necrit: NU UH

i would love that yasuo dies and another champs takes his place ewe

I'm a sucker for seeing Ashe and Trynd on the screen/given lore time. Actually getting to see Kindred in action was awesome too! It's so awesome that there was a cinematic without the 'Breadwinner' champs being in the spotlight... Ol' Man Yasuo not withstanding.

I like to think that Tryndamere was fighting The Kindred, at the same time as he was fighting the soldiers. In the same way that during Yasuo's ending the cloud of arrows hints at Wolf's lurking in the back, you can imagine that during Trynda's undying rage his constant fight to push the warriors away while at the brink of death was a metaphor for an endless fight with The Kindred; a fight he was not winning. Kindred only leaves once Ashe arrives, allowing Trynda not to die before his rage depeletes - therefore, not being marked for death anymore

so , ashe might be the one who kills trynd

Do you think every time Tryndamere goes into his Undying Rage, he always sees The Lamb and the Wolf?

GASP. How DARE they forget to follow up on the dirt line and ashe arrows?! OUTRAGEOUS! The cinematic is ruined! RUINED!
😂😂😂

Okaaaaaaaay. So if Trynd literrally faces death each time he ults, why Kindred is confused by his resistance?
It should be smth like: "Oh shi~, wolf, not this guy again. I can't simply do my job. I'm out of it, let's get some beer".

Yasuo still can use ult no?

I’m curious about the Tryndamere and Kindred scene. You mentioned a theory about that Tryndamere is fighting Kindred in his head. And in reality he’s fighting the soldiers. But after the scene when Ashe arrives. IF Tryndamere were fighting the Soldiers. Shouldn’t his blade be covered in Blood? There was no blood on his blade in when Ashe fired the Hawkshot. I just find that weird that if he was fighting the soldiers, did he just knock them out? But that seems just wrong, I think so at least. Because Tryndamere in his Undying Rage will chase and Ghost your A** off until you’re dead lol.

The kindred fight was amazing.

i have the biggest wish for an mmo world full of this lore, or another anime, or a few hundred animes god knows we have enough content!

god damn i got goose bumps listening to u explain the lore. its brilliant. just brilliant

I broke a tear at the Detail and lore that they put into this, it's beautiful

Gotta love that yasuo stands up for the people of that village, only to accept his death immediately after. The scene is awful if you think about what happens next lol. That village and its people die, are enslaved, raped, robbed, etc, and it's because yasuo allowed his death and also spared the lives of the attackers 😂

He cant windwall this last rain od arrows, becouse its on cooldown. Isn't it obvious?

I love how explaining that: “yasuo is done killing people” is a direct link to the game where yasuo’s mains tend to go 0/15! Wow so much more becomes clear. Thank you Necrit!

in one of voice lines when Ashe kills Tryndameire, she tells:
-I always knew it will end like this.

So my gues is... Ash WILL kill Tryndameire.
Thats why she looks like lamb first.

One extra issue with the cinematic is that while they are on the ground, Kayle is holding the sword on the right hand and Morgana on the left and then it's switched once they nearing the clouds.

Marvel what if: Oldman Logan
Riot what if: Oldman Yasuo

Yasuo couldn't use windwall technique during the rain of arrows because of its cooldown.
Damn it Riot!
😁😆😅

If you look closely in the Tryndamere fight, you can see him destroy the corporeal form of wolf 4 times turning him intangible which may signify the 4 soldiers he killed while leaving the other 2 for Ashe's arrows.

Is there a bigger document or something where the lore is summerized ?

Why are you blocking half the screen?

question - how is yasuo dying to a wave of random arrows bad ass vs him fighting an actual powerful opponent in the story?
morgana feels like she's using her ulti chains, not her Q spell just imo

The wind wall was on cooldown

Great video! I learned a lot :)

I thought you misunderstood the whole tryndamere fight tho, it happened, the shoulderpad damage proves it.. I think both things were happening at the same time, and that the lamb stops his bow because Ashe arrived and saved Tryndamere, at that point he was no longer dealing with death.

So there is no free will in Runeterra? Since all is determined already

Up to that point in yasuo's story could all be true, but they can do a classic "not showing the death" thing. And Yasuo might end up being saved last second when accepting his death after he saved everyone else.

Pretty sure the chains are actually morgana's R

The fact that Yasuo didnt kill anyone is an homage to the 0/11/0 yasuo power spike

0/14/0 Yasuo mains after watching this cinematic: 🙂

Yasuo Dying in Cinematic : 🫡
Yasuo Dying in Game : First time?

Morgana got the Scorpion treatment.

Also Kayle pissed me off with that look

mira necrit re cl, no me bardies a kayle xq se pudre

Damn the lore is amazing

As interpreting things can be subjective I don't want to be an a**hole about this, but I feel like interpreting Trynd's injuries being real as "proof it's all in his head" is really backwards, especially considering his armor damage looks exactly like a claw slash from Wolf. To me it just proves that it's really happening as the battle damage carries from one realm to another and he's battling warriors and Kindred at the same time. If the damage changed from a claw slash to sword slashes then your interpretation would make much more sense.

the only thing i would disagree with is that tryndamere fighting the warriors and fighting lamb and wolf would somehow be mutually exclusive, that evidence that he fought the warriors would imply that lamb and wolf were only in his head. i don't know the league or kindred lore in depth but i don't really see why they couldn't be happening simultaneously, together. the same way lamb's arrow is one of many in the arrow rain that results in yasuo's deaths, why can't kindred also join the fight alongside the warriors? now, only tryndamere would be able to see kindred, naturally, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. as a warrior attempts to cleave him with an axe, wolf charges in for a bite. were tryndamere to be felled, an outsider would've seen him get killed by an axe, but in actuality that axe swing was not merely an axe swing. it gets very metaphorical the more you get into it, but ultimately the point is, i don't think kindred wasn't really there and was just in tryndamere's head. they were there, and the warriors were there, simultaneously. tryndamere was the only one who'd be able to see kindred, and interestingly was also only able to see kindred and none of the warriors

Yasuo's W was on cooldown

that is why yasuo mains dont kill and wait for the 0/10 power spike smh
