Alarm! This commodity contains SPOILERS for Wizards: Tales of Arcadia.

Wizards , the concluding show in Guillermo del Toro'southward Tales of Arcadia series, is only one season long, but its ending sets the phase for what's to come in the moving picture, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans. Following afterwards the Trollhunters series and its sequel, 3Below, Wizards returns to Arcadia for some other adventure. It follows Douxie, a small character from the previous shows who merely and so happens to be Merlin'southward wizard apprentice.

Along with Archie, his familiar, Douxie had been decorated keeping Arcadia safe from magical threats, and presumably has been doing so while the stories seen in both Trollhunters and 3Below were taking place. In Wizards, Douxie's true purpose is revealed to Jim, Claire, and Steve, as the three abscond into the past to escape the newest and nearly dangerous magical threat yet: the Arcane Social club.

While in the by they encounter King Arthur, learn the truth well-nigh Morgana'south plough to evil, and experience the Boxing of Killahead Bridge firsthand. One time they render to the present, however, the threat posed by the Arcane Order still exists, and Douxie, Claire, and the residuum of Arcadia's heroes must rally together to stop them. Here's how the ending of Wizards season one shakes out, and what fans can expect in the upcoming Trollhunters motion-picture show, Rise of the Titans.

The Arcane Social club Are Stopped - For At present

Equally its principal threat of the season, Wizards introduces the Arcane Guild, a trio of extremely powerful magical beings who were originally tasked with maintaining the balance between the magical and mortal worlds, only are now hellbent on destroying everything. They seek the Genesis Seals, artifacts that contain the essence of magic itself, and if destroyed - an deed that requires all three members of the order to exist nowadays - will unleash raw magical energy across the world and bring near the apocalypse. Knowing this, Merlin hid the seals somewhere only he (or his apprentice) could find. In fourth dimension, one of the Arcane Order'southward members, Nari, abandoned them and their wish to destroy the earth.

Throughout Wizards, the Arcane Order'south two remaining members, Bellroc and Skrael, are hunting for Nari and the seals, both of which are nether Merlin'south (and later Douxie'due south) protection. In the last episode, still, they capture Nari, forcing Douxie to gamble with the seals in social club to continue her safe. He devises a programme in where he hands over the seals to Bellroc and Skrael, but in doing then traps them in a time loop to buy him the time needed to rescue Nari. It works and Nari (as well equally everyone else) is saved, but the Arcane Order are also powerful to remain in the time loop for long, eventually breaking free.

Following a huge battle that sees the Arcane Social club'south castle ship destroyed, Douxie and Nari leave Arcadia, needing to stay on the move lest the order catches up with them. Wizards and so ends with a scene of Douxie, Nari, and Archie in some unknown metropolis, walking the streets in disguise while Bellroc spies on them from atop a nearby edifice. The scene is clearly setting up where Tales of Arcadia'sstory is going next, teasing the big finale that is now expected in the Trollhunters movie, Rise of the Titans. Obviously Skrael and Bellroc are not giving up on their world-ending plan, and equally they've located where Nari is hiding, they'll soon come for her. Luckily, Douxie has already proven he can agree his own against the Arcane Guild, and with even more allies likely to bring together them in Rise of the Titans, they should be ready for any the order throws their way.

Who Volition Prove Worthy Of Excalibur?

Wizards kicks off with Jim existence attacked by a mysterious enemy, the Dark-green Knight, who lodges a corrupted crystal into his eye that's slowly poisoning him. In time, information technology'south revealed the Green Knight is actually a resurrected King Arthur under the control of the Cabalistic Order. During the finale, Morgana - who throughout Wizards has had a change of heart, realizing the error of her earlier, evil means and seeking redemption - fights with the corrupted Arthur, her blood brother. Their duel ends with both of them perishing, only not before Arthur's sword, Excalibur, is wrenched from his easily and lands thrust into a stone in the ground.

The placement of the sword is not subtle. Clearly, it's waiting for someone to pull information technology out - merely who? Jim and Toby both give it a become, but neither are successful, leaving Excalibur to sit and wait until Tales of Arcadia'south next chapter. Of the possible candidates, Jim would make the most sense, especially since he now appears to exist without his Trollhunter amulet and sword. However, he already tried and failed to pull the sword out, proving he isn't worthy of information technology. That could always change, simply and then again, it may exist Rise of the Titans will reveal the sword is really meant for someone else.

At that place are plenty of heroes who could wield Excalibur, but one interesting candidate is Steve. While he hasn't changed also much since his introduction equally the high school slap-up in Trollhunters, Steve's time with Lancelot and the other knights taught him a few things, and even Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, recognized his wish for validation. It's by no means guaranteed, but it'd make for an interesting arc if the dimwitted jock could prove himself worthy of a sword like Excalibur.

Is Jim Still The Trollhunter?

Mayhap the biggest moment in Wizards'finale comes when Jim is transformed back into his human self. Trollhunters season 3 saw Jim get office troll, but in Wizards, the Green Knight's abuse makes him go full troll and places him nether the Arcane Order's thrall. While Douxie fights the order and Morgana fights Arthur, Jim's friends attempt to break the spell, and although he appears to gratuitous himself from the Society'due south control, the lord's day soon rises and turns Jim to stone. Devastated, Claire cries over his statue just when her tears striking the stone, information technology crumbles apart and a human Jim emerges.

Jim over again becoming human is a big daze since his transformation into being part-troll seemed like a natural progression of his role every bit the Trollhunter, bridging the two worlds. Still, Jim may not actually be the Trollhunter anymore. The Amulet of Daylight - the object that gives a Trollhunter their power and what Wizards shows Merlin and Douxie first constructing - is destroyed when Jim is transformed fully into a troll. Without it, even Jim questions if he'south nevertheless the Trollhunter, and his disability to wield Excalibur isn't helping.

If the Amulet of Daylight is really gone, so it may non even be every bit simple as Jim no longer being the Trollhunter; at that place may no longer be a Trollhunter at all. Information technology's the amulet that chooses the Trollhunter, after all, and gives them their armor and sword. Without it, those items don't exist. The upcoming moving picture, nonetheless, is using the Trollhunter name for the first time since that first TV series, and while possibly a conclusion made purely for marketing reasons, it besides stands to reason that Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans will have an reply about not merely Jim'due south future, only that of the Trollhunter in general.

What To Await From Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans

On the day that Wizards dropped on Netflix, it was announced that Tales of Arcadia would conclude not with another season but a movie, Trollhunters: Ascension of the Titans. The movie will see the many different heroes of Arcadia join together to (hopefully) defeat the Arcane Guild once and for all. Given that, in that location's a practiced take chancesAscent of the Titans will begin shortly later the tease of Bellroc finding Douxie and Nari at the very end of Wizards, setting off another chase and eventual boxing for Nari and the Genesis Seals. Additionally, the questions about Excalibur and Jim's future will need to exist answered, but in that location's even more to look from Ascent of the Titans.

First, at that place's the picture's subtitle. Information technology's a hint at some new group arriving, but whether these Titans are friend or foe is unclear. Titans could just refer to the different shows' many heroes, at present finally all banding together, or it could be some new evil the Arcane Order unleash. Whatsoever the Titans are, the prominence of being in the title means they're significant.

Since all of Arcadia's heroes are expected to be in Rise of the Titans, that ways a few who did not appear in Wizards will likely return. From 3Below, Krel and DadBlank made brief appearances in the final episodes of Wizards, merely Aja, Varvatos Vex, and any of the other alien characters did not. For the film, however, their return is most sure. The aforementioned is likely true of Eli Pepperjack, Steve's beau Creepslayerz, who went with Aja back to Akiridian-five in the 3Below season 2 finale.

Lastly, as Trollhunters: Rising of the Titans is to exist the grand finale for Tales of Arcadia, it'll exist expected to evangelize a satisfying end to the long-running series. That'due south something that even the all-time stories can often neglect to deliver, just Tales of Arcadia's rails record is solid when it comes not simply to thrilling storytelling, just in building out a huge cast of characters and managing to give them all meaningful arcs to explore. The journeys of Arcadia's many characters comes to close side by side year with Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans , and fans will not want to miss how this tale ends.
