How Is Jhin Connected to Hwei? (Lore Explained)

Note that Jhin also destroyed Hwei's artistic restraints. The classical paintings, the masters and the temple are all manifestations of traditional artistic wisdom - i.e. what binds Hwei and holds him back from becoming the fourth piece in Jhin's art piece.

in aw, intimidated and terrified. is jhin his junta? ;P

Ionia is a land of Art.
Hwei's painting
Sona's music
Irelia's dancing
Yasuo's swordsmanship
Jhin's killing
Yi's Wuuju
Everything in ionia comes down to art

I feel like jhin WANTED his step four to be hwei killing him...

After many years Hwei finally manages to track down and ask Jhin a very important question. "Why did you do it?", asks Hwei. Jhin pauses for a moment and then turns to Hwei and says, "lol, lmao even" before swiftly taking his leave.

So hwei is shadow the hedgehog

So wait, does this mean the aritist fan in Soul Fighter who was obsessed with Jhin...

What if whei IS jhin

i need it in arcane season 3 please just imagine how gentle the colors would be the first half to the episode with jhin and hwei getting to know each other better then it cuts to black as hwei is asleep just to awake to the walls "so red with blood, flames, and... flowers." just imagine thousands of little explosions in a spider verse like art style

Jhin: destroys Hwei's home
Hwei: beautiful... oh wait-- boo hoo.

Jhin is actually classified as a mage in the collection tab of the client.

i think he wants answers but he already kinda know it, jhin freed him from his ties or chains to his duties since they were holding him back, now he can explore the potential jhin saw on him, he is free to explore his talent withuout retrains. Talking about it wouldnt have helped him, we are bound to be what others expect and dont prioritize our potential, but without a reason to stay he could trully be free.

Destuction can be a new way to renew things, old ways or traditions are hard to change and leave little room for improvement. starting anew can bring something much better or worse, it all depends on what is painted on the new canvas.

As a Jhin main, I like this. That splash art is so beautiful btw.

I have a question.? Is Hwei the TRUE LOVE of Ahri, after all, we know he was a human artist with no name, and he willingly offered his essences for her LOVE..
What if all his loss and mental twisting from Jhin sends him down the messed up path he's on, but down the road, the love of a woman changes the life course he's on, his undying love for Ahri also leads him to giving and making everything in her honour to the point he offers her his very being.
I see a romance novel coming if Riot can string it all together.

Now jhin needs to inspire a hot female character to show that he’s not gay.

I do think hwei has some connection to demons, but maybe its just some azakana feeding on his emotions

My boy jhin going around Ionia and make every gay for him truly a magnificent, elegance way of dominating

If he had demon connections I would’ve loved for him to interact with Nilah for example

If you check the challenge for getting mastery 7 on mages, it lists the champions that fall under the classification. For quite some time now, I have wondered why Jhin was in there.

They are the Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham of Runeterra

Hwei is step 4.

In game, the two get passives when facing each other at level 12 (4 and 3 being present). If Hwei is able to ult Jhin to death, he shows him their skill and able to make Jhin cry from either the beauty or pain. If Jhin is able to ult Hwei to death, he makes Hwei his fourth piece and reaches his own twisted artistic talent as he puts an end to Hwei's.

What if the only reason Hwei is still alive is because his name has 4 letters?
4⃣

demons are still there jihn the golden demon

it actually is lore accurate, jhin got the weapons later on. the traps are his original stuff i think

Hwei is 4 letters btw 😬

isn't jhin imprisoned right now?
Since Shen and zed caught him at the end of zed comics 6

Vex is number 1

Hwei has nothing to do with demons

Idk about that demon thing, it looked like a longshot from the start

Just as jhin is just a crazy and insane man so is hwei a crazy and insane man.

damn that is why ap jhin is op

Ok I have a question/theory that might not make sense but, it seems weird that Jhin being a known criminal would be invited to the temple... So what if this happens before Jhin becomes a criminal, he is just a regular artist looking for purpose and it is the piece Hwei paints only for him that transforms his mind and makes him crazy thus making them the catalyst for eachother (after all Hwei lets go years of repression on that piece and he is very powerfull).

I'm not sure if this fits Jhin lore but from this bio it does seem as if something changes in Jhin as well after contemplating that piece of art.
I think that would be really cool and kinda makes sense...

Anyone know what background music necrotic uses for these videos? It’s relaxing

Also i mean, isn't Jhin's title a Golden Demon?

Hwei x Jhin fr

I thought he’d be paired with the demon of despair thought that would be pretty cool but the story we got is cool too

No matter what they do league is now irrelevant & dying. Mobile Legends Bang Bang will reign supreme & in a few very short years become the top moba in the world.

So is he a psychopath or no? The only thing I would appreciate here

Very good video Necrit. This is such an L (for me) though, since Ionia is full of demons by now it would have been insane and perfect for Hwei to be related to demons.

i do play jhin... a lot, and i often feel like im playing something more akin to a mage than an adc sooooo yeha... sure

Jhin has a quote "My work asks questions. It never has answers"
And now Jhin's work has left Hwei with so many questions and no answers

Is Math connected to Science?

I ship him with Ahri

Yeah that's my favourite part about Hwei's bio/reveal. Always wondered what Jhin's bombs were meant to be. Always assumed they were some hextech fireworks- now I imagine they're infused with ink magic.

Sorry about your demon theory necrit are you ok. Still i want to know does Jhin care about Hwei since he let him live?

I kind of wished the bio (or video) went a bit more in depth with basically Hwei after the temple explosion. In the sense of him going around and either traumatizing people with his art by showing them atrocities or helping people. It's an interesting duality that fits with his character and something I think, at least the former, that Jhin brought out in him. I'm really interested to see where Hwei's story goes from here and I hope it isn't the last we hear from both Jhin and Hwei.

the dude just wants Jhin autograph

Best lore of this year! (Nilah was last year, right?)
Also, I don’t think should be classified as a mage. To be a mage means that you yourself possess magic. He just uses bullets with magic. It’s kinda difficult to escape from magic in Ionia
