What is this symbol? Vi destroys a tower and we see the enormous neon EYE fall onto Silco. This seems like an important scene symbolically. But the show never tells us what the symbol means. From the wiki, we learn that “the Eye of Zaun” is not only a symbol for Zaun itself, but it’s an alias of Silco as the Undercity’s leader. Why symbolize Zaun with an eye? Eyes symbolize several important things: life, awareness, the intellect. Each of these applies to Zaun in an integral way, not only as symbols of the Undercity’s cause, but symbols of its people.

Dude it's April 2022. Arcane is about...6 months old and there's still so many details to talk about. This is incredible.

The scene where Silco finds Jinx on the bridge, when he runs towards her, his good eye runs through the “camera”. This represents how Jinx is his humanity. Whenever he turns around in his chair, he turns bad eye first. I think it’s really interesting how they use this symbolism with his goons vs with Jinx.

The intensity, frequency and consistency of detail that has been put into this show is unreal. It's is easily one of the most polished, perfectly executed and elaborate television series to date.

Also the fall of the eye symbolizes the fall of Silco's rule, or more on how everything that he's been working on is falling apart in this chapter. (Also is important to note that is Vi who destroys the simbol, being her the main threat to his rule)

Speaking of eyes- Jinx and Vi’s eye colors are each other’s real names. Vi’s eyes are Powder Blue. Jinx’s eyes are blue and then pink, making Violet. And they see the whole world through the lens of their childhood trauma and relationship to each other

What's interesting is that this eye also appears in Ekko's opening scene in the episode right after this one, where he and the firelights start smashing the eye. It's quite easy to tell that the eye of Zaun is Silco, and in both this scene and the Ekko scene both eyes are purple which obviously represents royalty. Where Silco is kinda a "king" of Zaun, and before this scene Vi tells him that she's bringing his empire down, so between bringing Vi knocking the tower down and Ekko smashing the eye in the following episode, the audience can clearly tell that both characters not only want to take Silco down but also destroy his kingdom in the process.

I just want to say that I love how despite there only being one season and the second one being a year away, the fandom is still very much alive and making content

every time I see an Arcane analysis video I think to myself "damn, now I gotta rewatch the whole thing again" (which is great bc I need more excuses to rewatch this masterpiece)

Sick, could u also analyze the silcos scar in jinxes mega weapon eye in the end. uhh so much eyes, so much...

Honestly, I've always been wondering what was up with this scene and this is pretty good. I still don't fully understand why Silco gets overly emotional and irrational when Caitlyn and Vi manage to run away, throwing everything onto the ground and falling and whatnot. Maybe he realizes for the first time that Vi being alive might ruin everything he had planned? For the future of Zaun, and particularly for Jinx?
Like you said, Arcane leaves it to the audience to decide.

Simple and plausible answer: the eye of Zaun represents Jinx, it foreshadows her later shimmer-induced eye-change and purple eyes have been connected to Jinx before (see ep5 toxic baptism scene where a purple eye opening is shown directly after Jinx is put under the water). Silco built the eye of Zaun above powder's old home (building Jinx above/from Powder) and when Vi returns, the eye comes crashing down on top of Silco, foreshadowing Jinx killing Silco in ep9.

also wanted to point out that in the Ekko intro thing the fireflies are punching an enforcer and destroying a wall with an eye drawn on it, and when it cracks it splashed shimmer all over the place. Strengthens the fireflies as a 3rd party/side perspective that you talked about in the Ekko vid, theyre literally fighting both sides :D

The attention to detail and depth to the symbolism is incredible… 😭

Eyes closed and open are also a reference to Freljord's culture (another continent in Runeterra), they believe the most honourable way to die is with their eyes open, one of Ashe's (a resident of Freljord) taunts in the game is "I hope you die with your eyes closed". Just a detail I thought was cool, considering Ashe is the leader of one of the main tribes in the place and Ambessa is a war general in Noxus

Bro that shot of victor at the end hurt me (he’s one of my fav characters)

I would also mention, since you noted that the symbolic eye is always open, that Silco cannot close his bad eye. If you look closely, he never blinks with it, and it's wide open at all times. The toxins in the river literally ate away his eyelid, preventing him from ever closing that eye to what is happening in Zaun.

Holy shit. Yet another deeply symbolic detail that just flew totally under the radar even after many re-watches.

it almost reminds me of the great gatsby with tj eckleburg. wonder if that was a motif at all or just coincidence.

Jinx’s eyes go from blue to violet after she’s injected with the shimmer, symbolizing the death of powder as her natural eye color is blue, and the eye of Zaun is also that violet/pinkish color.

Silco placing eye symbols specifically above the entrance of the Last Drop and above Vi's old home is so petty, but also such a power move. Honestly, when Vi stepped out to meet him in ep6, I kinda expected him to say 'Did you see what I did there?' :p
