Arcane season 2 showcases pivotal Caitlyn and Vi moment made possible by animation advancements

Arcane season 2 premiered with three episodes, featuring a long-awaited moment between characters Caitlyn and Vi. The creators revealed that the animation team was not technically ready to depict this scene in the first season. Animation director Barthelemy Maunoury stated that if the kiss had been written for season 1, it would not have been executed well. The decision to wait until season 2 allowed for a more impactful portrayal. The narrative context also supports this timing, as both characters face loss and fear of change at the start of season 2. This emotional backdrop enhances the significance of their relationship development.
