So its now apparent that Vi is from zaun thanks to Ekko. Jinx is also, considering Ekko knows her. So Jinx is Targeting Vi in Piltover because they used to be in the same gang of kids. Get it guys? This is the connection between Vi and Jinx. And it seems to be the only one too. Because we we're already told that they both have sisters. So it's safe to say that they are not sisters guys. I would like to just clear that out of the way.

                                                                                         ** A reason**

Now that we know, Jinx is Targeting Vi for maybe a reason: **1:**Vi's sell out -She left their gang during a heist; just as Ekko is Hurt Jinx would be too. So maybe she's dedicating alot of her time to torture Vi in the game of "You'll never catch me!!" Is Jinx trying to kill or persuade Vi? It's confusing because every villain has their methods of doing things. I'm not so sure of what her's is.

                                                                                      **  Theory Crafting**

So a possible history of what happen is this random gang found Vi and took her in. Taught her things, maybe even let her do major parts in heists. So the day when they went to rob some "Pilty's" as Ekko says, she had a change of heart because the gang put lives in danger. So she leaves, starts to rob other thieves, then Cait notices her and offer her a job at her side. Vi is now a Pilty cop(i'm gonna love using that term) and she helps cait in the fight against crime. Jinx, find's this out and is probably upset about this. Goes to Piltover and causes a wide spread panic, all to lure out Vi. Which is why she said she wanted Piltover's finest. She sends a message that she will try and attack a certain **bank. **...Maybe even the same bank from the past. She let's her self get corned by Vi, only to send a barrage of missiles to the already ruined bank to bring it down on the cops and Vi. Then leaves with a message in the Sky quoting "You'll Never Catch me." Afterwards A wide spread manhunt was issued to look for her.

Clearly they never found her.....Because_ she's not in Piltover anymore_. At least not that day. Wouldnt the smartest thing to do would be to_ leave the city?_ Especially if you go to a city and start destroying buildings and what not. So she lure's Vi out in the opening to make her chase her.......maybe even back to Zaun? Surely Vi must have recognize Jinx. She had to. Vi doesnt remember her parents or name but Vi surely does remember who her old gang was. It was a time before cait found her. Why hasn't Vi said anything to Cait about it? Maybe Cait has been suspecting Vi this whole time.

To me, It sounds like Jinx is trying to get Vi to follow her back to Zaun. Then maybe Vi can face the people she shunned away. This is where Ekko comes in. "You forgot your Roots Vi" as Ekko says. It sounds like a lot has happened to their gang while she was away. Some one died as it is shown, you know one went crazy and is obsessed with guns, the others are unknown. But Ekko is the only one who still cherishes his old gang.

So we can infer even more when we see Ekko's lore. Im expecting it to be a crucial piece to the puzzle. And Gypsylord has become one of my Favorite Rioters because of stories like this. It's my theory on the puzzle, What's you're take on it guys?

first off, Sisters does not mean it has to be by blood. Vi and Jinx could consider each other sisters because they were in the same gang and grew up together. My theory on what split them is as follows

The blond boy, who is the centerpiece of the Mural, and who's glasses lay broken in Ekko's trailer, is the reason for Jinx's psychic fracture, Vi's amnesia, and Ekko's quest to steal time devices from Zilean. Ekko is actively pursuing a way to turn back time to when everyone was together, and to when ONE was still alive. I have a feeling the blond boy's number is 1, and created their gang and was everyones "Big Brother." His death splintered everything.

Clearly, Ekko is in good terms with Zilean, so i dont think that he stole anything from him. Maybe the machine was built by the blond guy.

Where is it clear that Zilean and him are friends? Also i don't think so. While i think he was a big brother and older than the rest, he's still really young in that mural. Runeterra has some fascinating children, but none that should be able to create a Time flow manipulator, that's really stretching it.

"You gotta' teach me that trick, Zil!" "I coulda' survived that - but thanks anyway." "Timefight!"

The quotes towards him point that... i mean, they aren't best friends ever, but he seems to be in good terms with Zilean (And the wiki says that he is friend of him)

Ekko respects Zilean due to the nature of Zilean's craft. A man who has achieved temporal manipulation, in Ekko's eyes, is a man to be revered. However, rather than sucking up to Zilean, he sets about getting on friendly terms with him in his own cocky demeanor. If only Zilean was given new quotes to not look like such a scrooge...

Sometimes character interactions are more easter eggs/jokes instead of something lore related. Look at Sion and Urgot jokes. Also how does the wiki label him as such when Ekko isn't even out yet?

No everyone thought they we're blood sisters. That's why I addressed that matter. I don't think the blonde boy has anything to do with their personal problems. As I said, Vi couldnt remember only who her parents were or her name. Then she was find by the gang.

Zilean uses magic, clock on his back might be nothing more than a "map". Ekko uses techmaturgy, but it's very limited. It can only go as far as few seconds.

Ever heard that theory about creating time portals? Man-made portal could only send you back as far as it was first operational.

Thanks. and huh?

Funny how we've gotten more theory crafting out of a few lines of dialogue than we've gotten out of any lore...

Yea, I understand. But you can also read a lot from just mere words.

I approve 100%

I'm still waiting to find out what pre-crazed Jinx is like. You know, before she started talking to guns.

So am I. I am expecting something similar in Ekko's lore when it comes out

If she still makes me scaroused I'm fine with it.

Idk if Ekko is the only one who cares about the old gang, because Jinx and Ekko are allies. Therefore, Jinx probably wants Vi to come back and all, but certainly doesn't want to kill her.

And all 3 of them are also made by GypsyLord, but we will never know if this theory is true until the new lore is released, which could be never.

What I find weird about this: Vis tatoo is supposedly the reason why she is called vi.She was named after the tatoo not the other way around.When jinx vandalized Vis page,she signed with X and Ekko has a XII on his sword/club/whatever,so there seems to be a connection between this zaunite gang and roman numerals.

Here comes the question though: Vi appearantly grew up in the "lawless outskirts of Piltover" and was taken into a group of criminals at the age of 6,this implies that she grew up in piltover not zaun. But this would mean that she was part of 2 gangs.She lived in Zaun til she was ~6 and was part of a gang together with Jinx(who really could be her sister),then something happened which resulted in her being left in piltover without memories. This would also explain how VI seemingly doesn't know anything about Jinx,because she forgot about her.

This does however beg the question if Ekko is really as young as he seems.I mean Vi seems to be ~20,but if ekko still remember her he can't be that much younger (unless he messed around with time in a way that he can't or won't do anymore).But well maybe VI just looks older than she is or Ekko looks rather young for his age...

But Vi was suffering from Amnesia before they found her... It's because of that Heist that Vi remember's why she's not with the gang anymore. So I wouldn't say that shes from piltover. She probably resided in piltover because she had no where else to go. The heist was in piltover, so it would make sense if she was still there.

GreenLore1 votes

Her lore explicitly states that she grew up in piltover.Its not like that is one lore that is told from some kind of unreliable narrator,so I doubt that is wrong(unless it gets retconned)

And which heist are you referring to?The one where she got her gloves?Because it didn't say anything about her getting hurt there and it was already said that she lost her memories at a rather young age and since she was named after that tatoo,I'd say it is safe to say that VI already didn't know her real name(and thus her connection to jinx and ekko) anymore when she was taken into a gang at the age of 6.

lolz i said that. Vi doesnt remember her name or parents... But I'm sure she remembers her old gang because that what drove her to have a change of heart and save the people. Yes the hesit where she saved people. She had to know the gang in order to accompany them on it. I ddnt say she got hurt from it. She already had lost memories before the gang found her...

GreenLore1 votes

ah,ok misunderstood you then.

However I doubt that the gang that took her in was the one with Jinx and Ekko. Jinx and Ekko seem to have the roman-number-motif as well(when jinx vandalized vis page,she signed it with an X and Ekko has a XII on his "sword"),so there is most likely a connection between the roman numbers and the gang of Vi,Ekko and Jinx. But since Vi was named after the tatoo,that would mean that she lost her memories after she was part of that gang. Another thing that speaks against the gang that found her being the one with Jinx and ekko is that Vis lore still states she grew up in Piltover.How could she have grown up in Piltover if she was part of a Zaunite gang?(unless this gets hit with the retcon-bat)
