I don't think Jhin is entirely human

Because when he dies, the mask floats off of his face, then disappears. As if the mask is dying instead of him.

Or maybe he is an unfortunate human being controlled by the psychopathic mask a la Jim carrie's Mask

It is also worth mentioning that in one of his emotes he takes off his mask to bow and there is nothing under it

This could mean that he can see through his black head cover, but then why can we see his eyes in the teaser video?

He has one eye. You can see it when he takes off his mask. You just have to look close. It's there. His right eye is either missing or is beneath the suit.

His full gun is so complex he had to replace parts of his body for it. His Right eye is now part of the scope.

If you look closely you can see his eye when he laughs. He's wearing something like a morph suit or something. But with only one eyehole cut into it.

Could be a ninja like escape trick like zed and ekko don't die when they die

No, he uses mana. All ninjas use energy as a resource.

lee is not a ninja and he uses energy LOL

energy isnt only ninja specific

dunkeroni5 votes

Yeah but ninjas are energy specific. Ergo, if he was a ninja, he would be using energy not mana. This is not to say that if he did use energy than he would have to be a ninja. That is the reverse.

Livin like Riven4 votes

He said all ninjas use energy, not that all energy users are ninjas. They're not mutually exclusive. All cars(ninjas) are automobiles(energy users), but not all automobiles(energy users) are cars(ninjas). Using this analogy, Lee Sin is the #HighwaySickWheelies motorcycle of the group.

umm ok but i was just saying that

i wasnt trying to downplay anyone :s

Note is I said "ninja like" and then I went to state ekko. I saying it could be like an ace in the hole Secret trick he uses if he gets in a jam.

i dont know about that. the supernatural effects like his mask floating away after he dies can just be explained with magic.

as far and how he moves and speaks im chalking that up to riot trying to give him that crazy misunderstood artist angle you can find from time to time in history. what probably sells the idea of him being inhuman is most likely that supposed hump under his ionian pancho, which apparently is a part of his fully assembled sniping riffle whisper (which is fully assembled for his ult and disassembled normally because who brings a sniper riffle into a mid/close range killing field?). im sure totting that disassembled gun around on his person also caused strange manorisms in his posture and center of gravity that also plays into the idea of strange habits from a misunderstood artist theme.

it doesn't exactly disappear. The mask flies off then lands back on his face for some reason

Haunting Guise is just going back to the shop. Where he can pick it back up when he respawns.

His dance reminds me of Pinocchio, so maybe he is a puppet controlled by the mask.

Maybe it's because Jhin is the mask (let me explain). Whenever we look at Jhin's face the first thing we see (or associate him with) is the mask. Whenever Jhin looks at himself (login screen) all he sees is the mask. Maybe Jhin has forgotten what he truly looks like and now only associates himself, his very own existence, his life, and his death with the mask. If Jhin dies the mask dies, and if he's alive then the mask is alive because Jhin and the mask are now one in the same. Almost similar to Michael Myers and his mask.

Jhin is a facedancer rippoff reminds me of a facedancer from the Dune universe.
