Spoiler-Safe Guide
medium confidencesource-verifiedFull 18-episode guide across both seasons. All episode titles confirmed via Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcane_(TV_series)). Major plot beats sourced from named recaps fetched this session: The Wrap (S2E9 ending), Screen Rant (S2E9, Viktor death, Kino Medarda), The Cinema Holic (S1E3, S2 Ep4-6), DM Talkies (S2 Ep4-6, Ep7-8), Geek Girl Authority (S2E2, S2E3), Ready Steady Cut (S1E9), One Esports deaths list, Beebom (Ambessa death, Warwick/Vander), egamersworld (S2E5). The show is complete — Season 2 is the confirmed final season. Three previously cited 'confirmed' claims were corrected or downgraded this session: Kino's episode placement (S2E1→S2E8), Sevika's debut (S1E3→S1E1), and the S1E9 gun-draw detail (softened due to single-source). The S2E5 Warwick family reunion is now confirmed and upgraded from ~ to ✓.
