Jhin is Kindred's past self.

DragonShea·Apr 28, 2016·2 votes·4,434 views

Hey all. I just finished Watching a video by Jerremy "gaming curious" About Jhin being the former self of Kindred. And I thought it would cool to share it here on the forums for those that haven't seen it or the development of the theory on reddit by ManateePower.

So anyway. Personally I think this theory is epic because it alures to the shared backgound of Kindred and Jhin during development and that the two share more than just a similar death related theme, but also that Jhin COULD BE Kindred and Kindred is the future half's of Jhin. It would one hell of a bomb if Riot does confirm it but anyway here the links to the video and the reddit page.

I don't think so Kindred predates every champion to our knowledge Jhin is only a few decades old.

Plus the entire existence of Kindred is up for debate. Kindred is arguably the most metaphorical champion in the League.

Nothing to argue about Kindred being the most metaphorical champion in the game. Except you count Aatrox as the personification of war, or Shaco/Nocturne/Fiddlesticks as that of fear, which is not likely.

But Aatrox appeared on the battlefield and the others are beings who physically assaulted others already.

Kindred on the other hand doesn't even appear in the physical world directly. They are everywhere and nowhere and you only see them when you are about to die.

Thats basically what I ment. Aatrox, Fiddle, Noc and Shaco aren't metaphorical.

True but her origins are still very vague. It's could be possible that they are one. Unless we learn more about the orgins of Runeterra, then Kindred is gonna remain a mystery.

Riot said that the "one entity that split himself in two" has not really existed. Kindred themselves are not a spiritual entity but a representation of death the same way we use the Grim Reaper.

More like an abstract concept.

i just finished watching the video on youtube right before i saw this, i think its pretty cool, i mean it could be true he usually is right on things

It could be that the quote is a reference to the development of kindred and Jhin,but there is pretty much no chance that Kindred is really Jhins future self,considering that Kindred is ancient.

Also the quote "everyone must meet this man" doesn't really fit Jhins character,because in the end,not everyone had to face him,only his victims.

And Bard can't time travel,at least there is no evidence for that.
