10 Best Moments In Netflix's Arcane

Arcane is the kind of show that will have you punching the sky with adrenaline and reaching for the tissue box to wipe away your tears in equal measure. When it comes to the latter of those options, you'll need a whole box of Kleenex to get through this one.

After the monkey bomb explosion, Vi sits over Vander's body. Soon, Powder emerges and reveals that the building's collapse was her doing, not realising what she has done. In a fit of rage, Vi hits her and eventually leaves as Powder cries and sobs. It's a gut-wrenching moment, made worse by the fact that just before Vi can go back, she is taken away.

This scene is more than just a moment; it's also a genuine case study for why the medium of animation should be taken seriously. The emotion and performances packed into Vi and Powder are on par, if not better than most live-action shows, delivering a powerful emotional punch that hits you right in the chest.

When you think about what makes Arcane special, it's moments like this, which is why it deserves the top spot.
