That wasn't purple smoke

Maybe it has to do with the war?

"We would normally lock you up, but we don't have the manpower to add to the prisons while also fighting the Noxians."

its becuase yasuo "killed" his master.

Yeah I did. But seriously though what the f@#$ Ionia?! Jhin goes to jail after murder like 20 people horribly and of his own free will but Yasuo is labelled for death for something he didn't even do?!

Ionia is quite big, and, apparently, extremely dishomogeneous.

They probably don't have a coherent, or even a written law code widely accepted.

More likely cults, traditions, dojos, cabals, various organizations, philosophies, tribes, local leaders and elders... They hold a big influence and can do whatever they please as long as there is agreement between the parts.

Yasuo was member of some samurai/warrior code/organization, and when he was suspected of murder, said order decided to demand his head.

In Jhin's case, he was "arrested" by Kusho, a notorious pacifist, philosopher, and leader of a widely respected ninja order. And it is stated explicitly in lore if I recall correctly that it was his firm decision to deliberately use all his influence in order to spare Jhin, in open conflict with Zed, and in less adamant disagreement with his own son Shen.

labelled for death for something he didn't even do?!

Just remember that often the people reading/watching a story know things the characters don't, we know Yasuo is innocent but all the evidence did point towards him.

None of what Jhin makes is real. Its just what he sees. This is why he's the only one that appreciates it, because he's the only one that can see it for what it truly is. While everyone else sees a room sprayed with blood, Jhin sees a field of golden flowers, ect.

Also, I don't think Jhin's traps are Hextech. Pretty sure the only Hextech he has is the thing on his shoulder, because he finds Hextech to be a crude imitation of magic.

I mean it's a possibility, but are there literal quotes for these delusions? Obviously there are quotes for him finding beauty in death, but I feel like if he saw things others didn't, there would be more evidence by now. Personally, I find an assassin that sets up traps that explode in colorful smoke in a perfectly planned way to be more thematically attractive than someone who is just scizophrenic. Jhin has been confirmed to use magic in his gun/ bullets. Magic pulsates from the gun's core and he infuses magic into every bullet. These are literal facts you could look up in his lore. He also uses the sort of spirit connected magic with his fists. He used to kill people with blades, but then he would use "chi" to make it beautiful.

This is 80% fact and then he includes 20% theory at the bottom but you should look at this for a better understanding: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/EskMrPX2-a-look-at-how-jhins-gun-whisper-might-work-and-how-he-creates-his-art

Also you should look at this convo:

"It's a nice thread, but sadly, I'm fairly certain it doesn't apply. Jhin seeing flowers/trees/beautiful art is only something he sees. It's his delusion of sorts. Everyone else still sees the horribly mangled bodies."

"A rioter, during his Q and A confirmed that the bullets transform the victims flesh. It is not delusion at all."

Here's the Q&A: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/zZEsex0P-jhins-color-text-qa-thread

I couldn't find the exact comment because all the links were broken but this was the question asked: "So Jhin's bullets literally shape his victims' flesh into artwork of his choosing, the trees and such?"

This was the rioters response: "yep. Or turn the parts of flesh to gold, or make it move, and other things. It is macabre.."

So I think I just debunked the delusion theory, yay me.

I'm pretty sure WaaarghBOBO once said(I hope i'm not crediting the wrong Rioter) it is disgusting, disturbing and maddening but really beautiful in some way at the same time.

He is truly avant-garde.

I don't think there was a trap up there. I think Jhin just imagined there was for "dramatic effect", because honestly, how the fuck would he get a trap up there?

There was one. In the second shot of that scene you can see a purple glow.

Brutality is his specialty. Of course it's part of the whole process, i can't imagine what kind of pain the victims feel. But from what was shown in that cinematic, I'm sure we weren't just looking at his view point. Even the whole scene with camille walking in felt realtime.

But remember they have a 4 second delay and they only really go off towards the end when Camille is coming down on Jhin. The only mercenaries that exploded before that were the ones Jhin shot.

Is there a delay in the lore ¿

{quoted}

Camille is made of metal at this point. Plus she has adaptive defenses.

But did we see that in the video that we are refering to ¿

Actually the gun and the bullets aren't really magical. The material used to built the gun, which does come from Ionia, contains certain magical properties, but in no controllable sense. It's like the fact that Ice is cold and it gives off a cold aura which you can't control.

Jhin basically uses the magical property to imbed his bullets with the immediate outlet of magic before he fires, hence giving the feel that he is using magic in his weaponry.

I swear, this madman keeps on surprising me with how genius he is.

Damn that's sick.
