ARCANE fan reacts to Kindred (Voicelines and Trailer) 1/2 

They don’t really have a motivation, they are a representation of death itself. Lamb portraying the peaceful death and the death of people who accept it, while Wolf represents both brutal demise as well as the force that hunts those that run away from it. That is why most of his lines encourage people to run from them, as it’s more fun for him. Wolf also represents the Heart of Gray man, as he is the one that experiences feelings, while Lamb is the Mind, calm and calculated. That is why Lamb asks Wolf how hunger feels, but also knows what tears are called while Wolf knows what they feel like.

That is why Fiddlesticks says “Gray man” to Kindred, as their biggest fear is being alone again.

Wolf can feel emotion and doesnt understand them, Lamb can understand emotion but cant feel them. Great reaction kindred is an amazing character with great lore, they are pretty much the reaper of runeterra.

In my opinion, Kindred is basically the perfect League character for lore. I don't know about you but they're definitely my favourite representation of death in media

actually wolf is the more "innocent" part of both, since it does feel everything but dosent understand, while lamb understands everything but dosent feel

"Tomorrow is a hope, never a promise" is one of my favorite quotes ever

Kindred is incredible, magical characters as Kindred or Aurelion Sol are the ones I enjoy the most when they appear in the lore.

*Kindred is easily my favorite incarnation of death across all media.* "There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely. *Why was he lonely?!* All things must meet this man, so they shunned him." " *They know we'll come!* Yet they are never prepared." " *They race from us!* Only to find us sooner." " *How old are we, Lamb?* Older than those whose footsteps are long vanished." Also, when they taunt Ekko, Lamb says: "We know your name child. Woven across countless almost-lives."

"The Man" Every Living Being HAS to meet this man, so they shunned him, thats why he was always alone. bassically, The Gray Man, was Death, and because everyone dislikes Death, he was always alone. So He Took an Axe and Split Himself in Two, So He would Always have a Friend.

Tragic when you realise that they are both halves of the same whole, yet one can feel but not understand and the other can understand but not feel. Kindred is so interesting to me because of how The Lamb and The Wolf's personalities reflects human understanding of death. The Lamb embodies our logic and understanding, she is our acceptance of death. While The Wolf is instinctive and emotional, he is the animalistic desire to flee from death. It's a reflection of the duality of humankind. The yin and the yang. The light and the darkness. 🐺🐑

2015-2016 champ design makes me weep for what we have lost. Seriously Jhin, Ekko, Kindred, Illaoi, Ivern, Aurelion Sol, Taliyah, Kled, Tahm Kench and Bard are so unique. 10/10 story, art, and unique kits. Renata Glasc and Bel'Veth were breaths of fresh air, but the last 4 years it's just shirtless men and the same strong woman who don't need no man on repeat. Seriously thought they were relaunching Samira when I saw the Nilah reveal today. Riot please go back to your roots and get creative again. Not necessarily less human champs, but at least more interesting ones please.

The voicelines of this champion always make me just tear up. Its just amazing how a few sentences can create such strong emotion within a person

I say the line "Never one, Without the Other" in my head all the time. Its so hauntingly beautiful. I wish I could play their character more, but im not a good jungler lol

The best way to describe Kindred is "Hauntingly Beautiful"

To think that you knew nothing about Kindred only to know everything about them in a couple of voicelines. Like how lamb is intelligent yet indifferent to feelings. And how wolf is rife with emotions yet innocent. Kudos to your means of observation Kudos to the writers of this wonderfully made character

In my opinion Kindred is one of if not the most well designed character in the universe and without doubt the most well voice acted. No other voice lines provoke such instantaneous emotion or carry so much depth. We really need a Lamb and Wolf standalone game. When you look at games like Ori, Abzu and Gris etc all those very artistically driven games it just makes you see how insanely beautiful a Kindred game could be.

In Kindred's story, the "pale man" is them before they split into two.. they're the death symbol in Runeterra and kind of Yin and Yang as well.. there's darkness in the Lamb and light in the Wolf. Lamb gives the ones that accept death a painless passing and Wolf brutally murders those who run from death. One is deaf, the other can't see. One can understand emotions, but can't feel, the other can feel, but can't understand.

The most fascinating thing about kindred in my opinion is, that wolf has a lot of emotions but he doesn’t understand them and lamb has no emotions but she knows a lot about them, so the way she explains Wolfe what he feels is so heartwarming

When i think about the grey man, i imagine that he represents the primal fear of death, when there wasnt rational life or civilizations, when the concept of death didnt exist, animals just die without understanding the meaning of it, it was just the natural cycle of things to be follow, be born, grow, breed, die. But when rational beings started fearing death and anticipating it, they gave it a meaning, they idealized death, this is the point when the Kindred were born. well there is also the runeterra thing about the masks and everything, it is cool, a belief that is strong enough get a physical form until it meet the true or seccond death. Being erased from the history, no one remembers you, not even in books, there is nothing there to say you ever existed. Just like lamb said "the true death, is to never live" Edit: cool thing about the lore is that it is very conceptual, you can give a meaning to it, the meaning that for you makes sense, i just really love this champion holy shit

"Lamb is the innocent one" I died. I love watching new people get in to the lore and learning about it, we get funnies like this.

"Those who run from death stood still in life" is such an incredibly profound line.

When the time of death comes, if the person accept their death, lamb will send them of peacefully with arrow, but if they try to flee, wolf will follow them and give them a horrible painful death. They say when you are about to die, you meet lamb and wolf, together known as kindred

They represent death so in many voice lines just think death is talking and according to lore they are the most powerful as everyone have to die

After Evelynn and Warwick, Kindred is one of my most enjoyed champs. Jungle OR Bot! The voice lines are poetry. The design is divine. The meaning is terrifying.

Depending on what Society you live in runeterra also determine which you more likely to meet. In demacia they believed a peaceful death so they talk about the lamb that ends them mercifully. While Noxus believed fighting till the end, and believe it to be an honor fight to the very end, and would see the wolf more. As for other regions like Ionia they believed both so either or will come for them.

Kindred is one of the most well designed characters along with the best voice lines. One of my favorite parts of playing them is their lines. i think it's why despite being part of several skin lines that have cinematics they have never been in them because it would be so hard to write this character when they are already perfect. it'd be too easy to mess it up, i guess.

Lorewise Kindred is the Grim Reaper split into two. Wolf is there to hunt down those who try to outrun or outsmart death beyond their time, bringing a savage fate to them, while Lamb is the peaceful passing of those who accept their fate, making things quick with a single shot to the heart.

Kindred isn't just death Kindred is the moment of death/the act of dying. Another example would be they are the light at this end of the tunnel. You only see Kindred when your died already.

Every single one of Kindred's voicelines chill me, give me goosebumps. I absolutely love their lore, it's so fascinating and i could listen to the voicelines for ages-

kindred is basically the representation of death, the lamb with its bow and arrow, is the mercyful and gentle death, and the wolf is the violent death for the one who run from it, i love this champion so much

As can be concluded by some voicelines, Lamb doesn't feel emotion, but remembers everything they even did, while Wolf doesn't remember much, but instead exists entirely in his emotions. Also, obviously, Lamb embodies the peaceful death, of people that accept their mortality, while Wolf embodies violent, sudden death for people that try to run from it. Fun fact: Also, as taken from the voicelines, we can assume that Lamb is actually blind. Considering Wolf tells her what he can see, and she doesn't know what she looks like to people.

Hi, great reaction. To provide some background, Kindred represents the Grim Reaper or Death (Pale man), Kindred's job is to capture the doomed (if it breathes, it has to meet them,) Those who submit die a quiet quick death at the hands of the lamb, those who try to escape are hunted down and brutally torn by the wolf. Also, as some have pointed out, the lamb carries the mind and the wolf carries the heart, so the lamb understands emotions but cannot feel them, while the wolf feels emotions but cannot understand them. Some dialogues revolve around misunderstandings that arise from this split of heart and mind. In general, I recommend that you take videos of voiceline reactions that also show the occasion on which the line is spoken. You'll see what I mean if you look at Kindred's special interactions. These are voicelines to determine champions or occasions. Reacting to those special interactions of kindred would also make great content. Also, I recommend that you know the story of a character before you hear the voicelines so you can understand it better. If you listen to the voicelines again, knowing that Kindred represents death, their meaning is much more understandable I really enjoyed your reaction and my advice was meant more as help than as criticism

Wow that was incredible. Your reaction was so similar to mine and great to see. These voice lines are so surprisingly interesting

The story Lamb telling when Wolf ask her to told him a story is their Origin !! The man in the story was the Grim Reaper of that world, his job were so lonely, so he split himself into 2 entity is Lamb (who inherit his kindness) and Wolf (who inherit his madness) !! After they're born, they continued their father's job. But now, they're not alone anymore !! "So he will always have a friend"

I get chills every time I hear that whole sequence. So hauntingly beautiful

"Never one... Without the other..." Words of lovers, Lone family members of two, and best friends...

Kindred is one of my favorite when it comes to the league universe itself..A representation of death, shared within 2 souls acting as one. One calm and reassuring, the other cold and quick, always teaching each other. Their voicelines are beautiful, tho sad as they may sound. If i'm right, i think her spirit blossom skin lore explains even more of them. Normally the skins lore arent really important i think? But spirit blossom is kinda canon, as its not the ''character themself'' But spirits after death? Anyway, kindred's in there and i think there's more detail about them there.

I think after reacting to Pantheon's skins and story you can also check out his voice lines. I find them really cool and motivational!

So Kindrid is basically a psychopomp, A personification of death. If you accept your death the lamb will gently guide you to the afterlife, but if you run from it the wold will chase you down and tear you apart. The pale man with dark hair was basically death and because death is scary and no one wants it to be around it he was lonely that's why he cut himself into two beings.

I would highly recommend the voice lines for Aatrox and Pantheon. They have some of the most emotional and well written lines imo.

I like the idea that wolf wants you to to fight for your life but lamb wants you not to suffer. Thanatophobia is a hell of a thing and listening to this is actually helps. You were very right about wolf and lamb in your conclusion.

I just finished the last video and clicked back to your channel when it ended and saw this "uploaded 37 seconds ago"

I recommend checking out SkinSpotlight's video for the full list of voicelines, this video only contained the longer ones. Furthermore, Kindred is a champion in Legends of Runeterra too, and they have a lot of voicelines there as well. Good video as always :3

Kindred is a manifestation of death. Death was lonely so it split itself into two beings so it would always have a friend. Death is just part of life it's neither good not evil. The lines all impy that kindred is death.

There are many things in the game and lore that suggest once all life dies, wolf and lamb will join them by killing each-other. I find this to be a beautiful completion of their character, the emotional one who you'd expect to resist will eventually embrace it, and the one without emotion who you'd think would be unfased by death is the one who will attempt to flee. I think this ultimately shows that as time goes on they will learn from each-other. Wolf will learn so much his hunger is sated, thereby embracing death. Lamb will learn of and start understanding emotion, yet will not have the time to experience enough of it, and so will want to resist death. This builds the tragedy of their character even more imo, as eventually being the only beings in existence wolf will want to move on an lamb won't, turning on the other and ending in them killing each-other. Their deaths could mean two different things too. One interpretation is that as they live to the end of time and become more similar to the other they will be unable to exist as separate entities any longer and so will eventaully "die", killing each-other by merging. The tragedy here is that not only will the grey man not have a friend anymore, but all other creatures are dead, so he must exist for ever by himself. The other is that they die the same way all other creatures do. I'm also lead to consider my favourite lines from them: "Those who run from death... stood still in life" and "The only true death is to never live" In a sense wolf represents living life to the fullest, embracing his emotions and learning of the world with wonder and curiosity. Lamb on the other hand is sadly the opposite, a representation of the cold, distant approach to life, living purely by logic without the love and joy of others around you. As lamb runs from death we see that she stood still in life, she never did anything truly worthwhile because she was too busy being cold. The 2nd line holds a sentiment similar to "there's a difference between surviving, and living", that doing nothing in your life is really the only way to truly die, to not only die, but to be forgotten (like the Egyptian idea that there are two deaths, the physical one, and the last time your name is spoken). "True death" is the fate of the distant and cold through their lives being forgotten and drowned out by more memorable emotions (lamb is killed by wolf), and "false death" is the fate of the passionate and warm, through the physical seperation between us and the source of our memories, but even if they're not with us anymore, they are "distant" we still have memories to hold on to (wolf is killed by lamb). In the end I think this indicates that the 2nd interpretation of their deaths (that they die as all creatures do) is that once you die you are either the "forgotten dead" or the "remembered dead", and that lamb and wolf will no longer be together as wolf is remembered and lamb is forgotten. Never one... without the other.

Whoever created this character at riot knows how to make a character. Kindred is so beautiful, not sexualised, has a lot to explore lore wise, interesting gameplay and great looks wise.

Absolutely worth the wait

Another awesome video, kindred has IMO the best lore of all LOL champs. The man that split himself in half was death, that's why everyone shunned him, because they had to meet him eventually. People who accept death, they get taken by lamb, the ones that struggle, get chased by wolf.

Aatrox voicelines are also sad and scary but you dont hear his interaction to other champions because you're gonna be crying by laughter lol

Hi Georgie, as always, loved this video! I don't know if you've received this request already, but maybe you could react to funny/wholesome/rival interactions from the Legends of Runeterra game. You might find some interesting lore quotes from champions and their relationship with each other, as well as some other crazy stuff to learn about their personality too! (sorry for my english, it's not my first language lol).

try pantheon, he has the best voice lines in league of legends (in my opinion) and his story is a very uplifting story about how mortals don't need the gods that only play and control the faiths of mortals.

if i listen with closed eyes it sound like theyre both having a conversation whille on the edge of death

It's very cool to me that they login screen has only 2 instruments to represent lamb and wolf

i think that their theme song almost displays a descent into madness, and when the tones are soft it represents the lamb, but as they get more intense the wolf shines through

I love how the piano seems to represent Lamb and the cello to Wolf, and when it gets hectic near the end, the cello takes over the melody.

I had only heard these lines in songs about them... hearing them all like that almost made me cry !!! I liked it so much that we felt the same way. 😭😗😅

Kindred is like a grim ripper, but if the person that will die accept its faith, it'll shoot by lamb by its arrow and I'll die peacefully or will die naturally. If it runs, Wolf will hunt it and it'll die in horrible way. Everyone will meet Kindred even Aurelion Sol (the creator of the Universe) itself. So basically all people die in Arcane probably meet Kindred, such as Claggor, Mylo & etc. Vander isn't included 👀

holy crap! your guess on lamb not understanding the feelings of things was so close to spot on, and only slightly off! good job! i'm sure you've already read this, but lamb can understand emotions and feelings, but not feel them, where wolf feels all emotions, but cannot understand them. it makes for such beautiful storytelling!

the login screen shows you a fallen king or prince and lamb and wolf are coming to get him. you can see how the face of the man turns slighty into a skull when wolf comes closer to his head.

I’m super looking forward to more voice lines and theme reactions! Kled, Pantheon, Jhin etc.

Yeah, login screen moved once upon a time. There were special login screens for different characters/themes/events with their own soundtrack and sometimes voice acting.

At some point I started listening for the word like and I just could not stop hearing it

when you were talking about the music; you were kind of looking for the right words... I feel like it's very melancholic, which makes it soamazing. Kindred is my absolute favorite character from League of Legends

Hadn't really thought about it before, but how true is the quote "those who run from death stood still in life"?! WOW

You know the quotes are incredible when you sit in silence and anticipate what's coming next. You always comment while watching champions but here you just say still in awe. Kindred is just beautiful. In all aspects.

The greyman translate to death. He is lonely coz no one wants to meet death.. Lamb is peaceful death and wolf is pailnful death

Kindred is actually the twin essence of death or so more like "The Harbinger of Death" they represent 2 concept of death Lamb represents The Peaceful Death like deceased from oldness, plague or from sickness and Wolf represent The Ugly Death, murdered, slaughtered, killed etc. and also, they have different appearances or visuals across other regions of Runeterra.

Is it normal that kindreds voicelines always seem to calm me down. They are my comfort character.

I would love if you could react to the other voiceline videos made by Just another nobody as well. The lines give a lot of insight to the characters. My personal favorite is Aatrox and Yoricks Voicelines.

every time lamb asks to wolf "what every story have in common" and he respond "They end" i think of one piece

The two halfs fascinate me. In a cheap "myth", the Lamb would just be "good" and Wolf would just be "bad". A bit yin and yang stuff and people are happy ... no someone actually put a lot of thought into it. Lamb is innocent and empathetic, while Wolf is merciless and brutal. That comes with their part of the duty as death. It's how they should represent their role to the people that meet them after dying. But at the same time Lamb is wise and detatched or even cold, while Wolf is very naive and emotional. Which is their own personality, not just part of the mythical figure they represent. Kindred is a transcendent being, that represents a whole existential concept. But at the same time, they have very human personalities, that fit their role. Maybe because, inspite of it's transcendent meaning, death is in an important part of the human nature. Not only are humans defined by death, death is also defined by humanity. It goes both ways, which is a much deeper concept than "just put a bunch of gods and some yin/yang darkness/light stuff into a mixer and give it nice holy dresses and names", like some other fantasy stories like to do it. League lore doesn't just give you something that looks mythical, it gives you an actual myth (that's by the way the difference between the George Lucas Star Wars trillogies and the Disney sequels).

The old login screen introduced every new champ like this. With their own theme music and animation.

Kindred to me is up there with Lissandra and Bard as the characters with the most interesting Lore in all of LoL. I can't wait to see you react to Lissandra particularly since she is my favorite champion

Kindred is probably one of the most beautifully thought-out psychopomp I've ever encountered.

Love Kindred, its such a beautiful concept.

Just something I noticed that the wolf actually sounded like a child asking questions so there's a hint of Innocence even in the wolf when it seems like the lamb even though the voice sounded peaceful there was a hint of aggression as well as they told the story towards cutting himself into two with an axe so there's a hint of the wolf there too

death smiles everyone, no matter who or what they are. All we can do,is smile back

Kindred is one of my favourite League characters. I just love the duality of those two.

"that was the lamb who was like the innocent one....." oh no her hearts gonna get broken

Actually, The lamb is the one who sounds innocent, but she knows a lot more than wolf, she understands. While wolf is actually the innocent one, but he can not understand, though he is the one that can feel empathy. Thats why lamb does not know what those tears mean. Wolf telling us to run and cower and flee could be him saying we should live meaningful lives , while lamb is the short way out.

There's a kindred easter egg in Arcane. In the brothel scene there are two patrons there with kindred masks--one like a lamb the other like a wolf.

Kindred always makes me emotional

Kindred explained: Wolf equals a violent death meanwhile Lamb is a peaceful death.

Came to have a good time, ended up on tears

11:12 The majority of champs have themes (some of the oldest don't... yet) but they used to play on the old animated login screen which isn't used anymore, so 'Login Screen' and 'Champion Theme' are the same thing. The newer champs' theme videos show many pieces of concept art during their development to make the video more visually interesting.

Lamb: Says something ominous about others deaths and killing You: aw

Kindred is not really a being of some kind, Kindred is the death itself, Lamb is the representation of peaceful death while Wolf is chasing the people who refuses to die. They're not enemies of anyone, they are just bringing the completion of life "there's so many ways to die, the only true death is to never live.", As life is always followed by death "Peacefully they go, Hungry we follow"

watching this got me thinking about The man being the ferryman who takes souls to underworld to be judged, but who one day got too lonely to bear their life and so split themselfs in two to have a friend, soulmate and someone to be there with them helping them bear their duty or punishment whichever ferryman's duty would be. ps: yup seems i was right about that conclusion on their origin and yeah its not hard conclusion to come to but i never thought of the story of the man as their origin but more of a story lamb tells to wolf to calm/comfort/intrigue him but yeah that trailer animation really showed how much it is their origin story. "What does kindred do? Avatar of Death: Kindred is a god of death, responsible for the passing of living beings to the afterlife. More of a function than a power, Kindred will come to those that are close to death, and take them to the beyond."

I am so invested in the lamb and wolf story , they are so mysterious 😮 The piano represents Lamb gentleness while the violin or chello was used to represent Wolf's aggressiveness

u got EVERYTHING RIGHT kindred is one of my fave characters in lol. even tho u don't care about the game itself I do really recommend watching the in game spotlight because the give some more details and how her habilites make sense into character design ... but over all lovely vid!

Kindred is one of my favorite characters, and I would love if you reacted to their Legends of Runeterra interactions.

Kindred is my favorite, i love the character design and their themes

There is so many interesting characters in this game that riot cant take care of every single one, but most of them have a lot of story :)

I get emotional about kindred because of the idea of them being together "Forever More" separate but one to never have to be lonely ever again. *Never One Without The Other*

In the music the lamb is represented by the piano while the wolf is represented by the cello.

Since 1865 when the texts started to be posted at the forum, I was around and till today I know one thing thats never change. Pretty much every character is conected to a bigger lore, that connects an hobbit hole, going down theres for sure something deep, probably sad, or worst... Happy but will shows like it is in real life.

11:10 The higher notes are the Lambs footsteps as the lower notes are the wolf growl

Kindred also known as Gray Man is the representation of death itself, he split himself in two which created The Lamb and The Wolf. Lamb represents Kindred's merciful side and she kills those who accept death with a quick and precise arrow. Wolf represents Kindred's violent and brutal side and he devours the souls of those who fight and run from death.

Kindred is death. If the person refuses to go, wolf chases them and brutalizes them (not directly or physically, basically a very tragic and gruesome event will happen to them) and if they accept death lamb shoots them once and they go at peace. Does that help?

I like to also think of kindred and the "pale man" origins as a way to explain a lot of Runeterra's resurrection and other characters who avoid death. Essentially that because the pale man split himself to create kindred or change himself, it changed how death works. Under the pale man death was more of a true end, but under kindred there is rebirth. This would help explain things like Aatrox curse, the shadow isle, or how Mordekaiser can keep returning. Also could tie Fiddlesticks taunt to kindred in meaning that if the merged into the pale man again it would be like the true end returns (ragnarok/Armageddon type event)
