Why Arcane Season 2’s most heartbreaking episode is dedicated “Juliette”
Since Arcane Season 2 Act 3 landed onNetflix, there’s been a busy discussion online. While it concludes the League of Legends show’s story, one question is more difficult to answer: who is “Juliette” in the dedication?
It’s hard to believe the end has been and gone. When the first chapter ofArcanearrived back in 2021, it quickly became one of the mostacclaimed animated seriesin history thanks to Riot Games and Fortiche’s masterful storytelling and groundbreaking animation.
One of its biggest strengths is how it ties in theLeague of Legendslore while establishing an accessible story for players and newbies alike, breaking the barriers of what video game adaptations could achieve.
AndArcane Season 2lives up to its reputation, with Episode 7 proving to be particularly heartbreaking, showing a world in which Jinx is still Powder, Vander survived, Vi died, and Ekko and Powder are in love. It goes without saying that it took a lot of people to make the show what it is today, but was one of those people “Juliette”?
Who might Arcane Season 2’s Juliette dedication be?
At the very end ofArcane Season 2’s Episode 7, before the closing credits, text across the screen reads, “For Juliette with Love.” Although it’s not been confirmed who Juliette is, it’s assumed this is referring toJuliette Dominguez, the late Fortiche artist who worked on Season 1.
This is the most likely explanation as the third episode of the Arcane docu-series, Bridging the Rift, also features a dedication that states, “In loving memory of Fortiche character FX artist, Juliette Dominguez.”

Little is known about Juliette other than her credits working as an animator on Arcane’s first chapter. Her official LinkedIn page states she worked for Fortiche, but her last post on social media was in 2021.
The homage to Juliette Dominguez inArcane Season 2serves as a reminder of the people behind the show whose contributions make it so special.
Before the Bridging the Rift revelation, Arcane fans speculated that the dedication could be for one of the cast or crew member’s children.
Viewers took to social media asking what it could mean, with one writing onReddit, “Aside from the episode, who is ‘Juliette’? Fortiche tributed them in the credits.”
Anotheraskedon X/Twitter, “Who is Juliette that we pay homage to at the end of Episode 7 of Arcane?” A thirdadded, “Next episode of Arcane being dedicated to Juliette with love.”
