Ena's wife

There is nothing sexier than a compassion-based revolutionary, so allow me to tell you just how sexy The Boy Saviour really is:

While every other revolutionary in Zaun cares about winning against Piltsover no matter what, Ekko actually cares about the people of Zaun, which is why his focus is on community organising. Yeah, he'll kick some ass when he needs to and look damn good while doing it, but he found a tree growing in the under-city despite all odds, built an entire sanctuary around it, and he refuses to turn anyone away because he has so much compassion in his heart 🥹

2. Ekko has compassion for his enemies while also not letting that cloud his judgement (except for one time against Jinx but the Timebomb shippers would argue that makes him sexier) which is such a rare but important trait to have as a revolutionary. He's someone who understands the necessity of violence, but he doesn't revel in it. He may chew out his oppressors on the Piltsover Council, but his only demand is that they give his people the rights and respect they deserve, because then he wouldn't have to fight against other less compassionate "revolutionaries" who are taking advantage of the people's desperation.

3. Ekko may be tough as nails to outsiders, but under the surface, he is a tender-hearted young man who was forced to grow up way too fast. His father figure was murdered and his crush was groomed to become a murderer by the very man who killed him. Ekko lost his whole found family in the course of a few days, and despite all that, Ekko never grew up to be resentful or give into despair. Instead, he made it his goal to fight like hell for a better future, no matter the cost to himself, so no other child would have to go through what he did or carry the same weight as he does.

4. Ekko was so right about everything that in Season 2 the writers had to send him to another dimension so he wouldn't expose all the flaws in his centrist messaging. Did you read that? If being a compassion-based revolutionary is the sexiest thing ever, then that means Ekko was sexy enough to scare the writers of Arcane, and the show was made actively worse for it. If they embraced Ekko's correctness and sexiness, we could've had an amazing Season 2.

5. Following on from him being sent to another dimension, this was one where he was given the peaceful life he was denied: his adopted father is still alive, his crush was never taken in by a drug lord, and Ekko could have spent the rest of his days in that peaceful reality, but he still chooses to go back to the world that is cold and hard and cruel. Why? Because the people in his reality still needed him! (And because he didn't want to steal this life from the Ekko of this peaceful reality.) That is so profoundly selfless, and so utterly sexy of him.

Ekko has so much love in his heart for everyone and everything. He won't burn the world down for you, but he will change it for the better so you can finally live in peace. It is far, far easier to destroy the world than change it, which makes it the undeniably sexiest choice a man can make for you. And that is why...
