Overwatch Dragons Reaction

[@questionman6524]

I don't even play Overwatch anymore but the quality of these short movies makes them so entertaining to re-watch.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎🤩😊

[@Souledex]

I never did cause it had no story. I’m really excited for Overwatch 2 to have a campaign.

[@deanwhyprod2893]

I came back to overwatch some times ago after a long break, and honestly it's good if you play ariunf to have fun, only downside is the toxicity of certain person (since crlssplay and all) but its easy to ignore them. Still it is my favorite shooter out there

[@BrianGriffinASMR]

@@Souledex Well it does have a story, just not a story mode.

[@nagashtheundyingking4404]

on the level of high end pixar movies honestly and i still rewatch these

[@brandanpalmer]

“I have forgiven you. Now you must forgive yourself” such a powerful line.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Truth 🥲

[@Zzz-dt2dl]

Omori

[@aceofspade2120]

The lore backstory of these two characters is what adds so much to the cinematic, which they don't go into at all. Hanzo use to be the best swordsman around, but after believing he killed his brother Genji during a big blowout fight after their father's death, he swore to never pickup a sword again. And the dragons thing seems to be a Shimada family trait, though it's never clarified if it is magic or tech, but only they can control it. Extra bonus fact, the Omnic that was assassinated by Widowmaker when she beat Tracer in London was named Mondatta. He was basically the MLK Jr of Omnics. He has a younger brother named Zenyatta that was the one that took in and trained Genji to find his inner peace, which is why he didn't kill his brother in revenge

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the extra info 😃

[@trevortorbeck2910]

I would also like to add Genji is a cyborg because overwatch saved him and gave him a new path being a part of the Blackwatch and basically using his assassin skill for “good” and after overwatch and blackwatch get shut down that is when he goes and finds his inner peace in Nepal with the Omnic monks.

[@yuanli7197]

Regarding the dragon, can I say that the idea I saw for the first time was a cluster of nano-robots gathered under genetic code lock and voice control?

[@Eight8411]

Don't know if this is correct or lore but 2 things came to mind on 2 Hanzo dragons is him still finding his way or him mastering the sword as well as the bow. Also Genji sending the blue dragons back is hinting his deflect ability which also can deflect Hanzos ultimate

[@aceofspade2120]

@@Eight8411 Hanzo is a sword master already, but here swore to never use a blade again after he thought he killed Genji

[@simvleusen]

The reason for Genji forgiving Hanzo is rooted in off-screen lore. After being saved and having like 60-70% of his body replaced by cybernetics, he went to Nepal to rediscover who he is and coming to terms with his new personality under the mentorship of an Omnic named Zenyatta

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😊

[@sagnuz]

Also Worth mention that Zenyatta is a Omnic monk from the same clan as Mondatta, who was shot by Widowmaker on the "alive" cinematic. (and yes, its Zenyatta Mondatta like in that album form The Police)

[@decker173]

The thing that really gets me about this animated short, is that all it takes for him to recognise his brother is to see his eyes. That's all he needs.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️

[@knostic]

The feather that Hanzo places down at the beginning and the one that appears after Genji disappears in smoke is meant to be a sparrow feather. 'Sparrow' is the nickname Genji's father gave him.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Ah okay. Thanks for letting us know 😃

[@Tazkar]

Will say I am glad both of you understood the metaphor of the dragon story. I've seen a number of people react to Dragons and so many of them suddenly think Hanzo and Genjii are both the ACTUAL dragons from the story. Rather than realizing it's just meant as a storytelling device and in universe a tale their father told them.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We enjoyed the choice of the metaphor for sure ☺️🤗

[@pacifistminigun3987]

i thought it was kinda obvious it was a metaphor tbh

[@Tazkar]

​@@pacifistminigun3987 Yeah, so did I, but apparently those people really overthought it.

[@ODDnanref]

Extra props if you realize that the person telling the story is Hanzo's and Genji's father.

[@Liur.]

The reason Hanzo has two blue dragons is when he "killed" his brother, he took his power, much like _The Dragon of The South Wind_ did to _The Dragon of the North Wind._ Presumably in their years estranged during his quest for meaning in life, Genji regains much of his own lost power.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Interesting 🤔

[@yasserboumediane1010]

I just thought " well it's because that's his ult, if there was just one dragon, it wouldn't do enough damage " lmao

[@thexlonewolf671]

The sort-of high-level overview of the backstory of Dragons is that Hanzo and Genji were brothers born into a family of assassins and mob bosses. Hanzo was expected to take over the family, so Genji wasted most of his time on luxury and was generally an embarrassment to the family. When their father, Sojiro, died unexpectedly, the clan elders ordered Hanzo to reign Genji in. The argument eventually turned into a full-blown fight and Hanzo was forced to mortally wound Genji, which Hanzo believed Genji died from. Hanzo was torn over having killed Genji, so he left the Shimada clan, becoming an exile. Genji survived his injuries, and was brought on by Overwatch, who offered to rebuild Genji's body in exchange for his help in dismantling the Shimada criminal empire, which Genji accepted. After Overwatch collapsed, Genji travelled the world, eventually meeting the Omnic monk Zenyatta, who helped Genji come to terms with his cybernetic body. Last we heard of Genji and Hanzo, Genji was helping out a reformed Overwatch, while Hanzo had become an assassin for hire. As for the dragons they seem to be able to summon, it's unclear whether they are magic or if there's simply some technology at work at here. The majority of the community seems to believe they're magic, but I'm not convinced one way or the other. But, given that this is a world where some people can turn themselves into clouds of smoke and then reform their bodies with seemingly no adverse effects, at that point I'd say pretty much anything is possible. After all, as the saying goes, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

[@tamalchakraborty5906]

lmao!!! irellia main

[@qiyanaenjoyer17756]

Lol irelia you love to talk don't you

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Love it! Thanks so much for the info as always! 😃🤩🥳

[@jayquanis]

The story being told is how the first shimada brothers came about way before genj and Hanzo’s time. They were dragons and became human through their emotions, something along that line. As time passed their story was told throughout all their bloodline like a fairy tale and so that’s why in the beginning the person telling the story is Hanzo and genjis dad, and he told his sons that story before he died if I’m not mistaken.

[@Souledex]

I definitely think it’s some bleeding edge nanotech and hardlight that would have been illegal to experiment on to get to a point that it worked. We have seen plenty of other hard light in the Overwatch setting and as someone who likes the “it’s all technically science even if every time someone has super powers it seems like a one in a quintillion chance it would have worked out that way” trope that seems like the best in universe explanation.

[@FalconMaCloud]

There's a reason why the Sparrow's feather is such a very important piece of the Cinematic. Genji's nickname was the sparrow and so the feather represents him.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Ah okay. Thanks! 😃

[@haghendowdy4750]

I still get chills every time Genji reflects the dragons back at Hanzo

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️🤩

[@colinnixon7739]

Why?

[@MaxBeck26]

I revisit this reaction every once in a while as an avid OW fan, and it's not the cinematic that makes me cry each time but your reactions. As dramatic as it sounds, the two of you are truly pioneers in the video games space by viscerally and candidly reacting to gaming content and showing that combat-driven media can be emotionally charged. You really help out the more optimistic side of the gaming community ❤️

[@NIKEONXX]

I always cry those it's so sad how there isn't any new ones, no shows, no pve campaign, nothing is happening and everything is incredibly still. I just hope they are cooking something secretly and one day we will get everything we wanted to see. I want to see Hanzo and Genji reuniting or something else just something ANYTHING. In truth there has been a bit of progress on the story mainly all the new interactions with OW2 and Invasions aswell as the new heroes.

[@klmt_vasilis5455]

Ken and Beth:saying good things and how over-all a good man is hanzo Genji:and I took that personally 😂😂😂

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😂🤗

[@sneakypilot2080]

Hanzo was a really good swordsman however after he "killed" genji he vowed to never pick up a sword again and uses a bow

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Cuz bows can’t kill people 😜😊🤗

[@redrath2]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I think it's less about killing and more about sentimentality. If you were driving a sports car with your brother in the passenger seat and you crashed and he died. You might not want to ever see or use that kind of car again. Not because you have something against convenient travel but because it reminds you too much of what you did.

[@sleepyheartss]

@@redrath2 I think they get it dude they were just making a joke

[@Knightlight-kw9sh]

Apart from gameplay reasons the two blue dragons may be a symbol of Hanzo's unwillingness to join a side because in game he is asked by both the heroes and villains if he would join and he denies. So Hanzo is your typical anti-hero trying to fight his demons

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Love those anti heroes ☺️😁

[@teejay4034]

Well, itt is technicly game mechani. I think. Because the two dragon moving in circle covers the area of effect which is damage everyone around the dragons path. I remember something like this from how its made videos. And so it become lore too.

[@Mikerille]

Love how at the end when genji disappears it’s a sparrows feather, since that was his name as an assassin.

[@colinnixon7739]

Woah

[@InfiniteEscuro]

I'll never get over that moment before Hanzo uses the dragons. The "you dare lecture me about honour" is a give or take, almost too expected. But the fact that all we know at this point is that Hanzo killed his brother because of duty, seeing it also as a burden, and yet he says, "You are not worthy of saying his name." It's an immense showing of respect and I love seeing it every time.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

hanzo: Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau (let the dragon consume you) and Genji: Ryujin no ken wo kurae! (take my dragonblade). Genji was saved by Mercy.

Everyone I'd pointing out cool stuff and I might as well put my two cents in because I hadn't seen any point this out yet: When Hanzo enters the room where he struck down Genji (the room he pits the incense down) you can see the bloody slashed tapestry and in the wall there are shuriken left by Genji during that fight years ago. It's even in game too.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Cool fun fact! Thanks for pointing it out 🙂

This story always brings a year to my eyes because of how I relate to it. Feeling like having commited an unforgivable mistake and attempting to atone for it. Hearing the words of forgiveness from those you feel you have wronged hits too close to home.

this is ther best cinematic so far imo: good action and good storytelling perfectly mixed with a good message

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😊☺️

[@thiagohayashi9936]

Besides all lore everyone said, there is a fan theory about Japan (or at least the Shimada clan in particular) being something like omnic-phobic. Hanzo kills just the only omnic guard, and when exposed to Genji, he just asks: "What have you... become?" with a certain disgust in his voice.

[@Underworlder5]

i think that "what have you become" just comes from the shock that his brother is alive and completely different. only the omnic being killed might be for censorship reasons. note that human kills tend to be somewhat...cleaner and more hidden, while omnic deaths are more graphic

[@GrumpyRook]

Yes! Finally you guys got to this one! It's one of my favorites! Genji and Hanzo are awesome character in the game.

[@Drocksas]

The bit said about Rise and Shine at the end is something that beautifully encapsulates why we all love these Overwatch Cinematics so much. Each one is very character-driven, and each one has characters that, on some level, people relate to. For Mei in Rise and Shine, it's that feeling of isolation and overcoming both internal hopelessness and external circumstance. For Dragons, it's the struggle of family, betrayal, regret, and forgiveness. No matter who you are, there are aspects of every character that you can relate to (some more than others, obviously, depending on your own experiences). And it's why fans of these cinematics get so excited about others seeing them for the first time; we love seeing people new to these characters find the ones they connect with.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Very well said 😊 👏

[@kinjiru731]

You guys picked the perfect time to do these as a double feature! Fun trivia: Originally there was one character planned for the game who was a sort of mix of these two but Blizzard decided to make them separate characters as brothers.

[@Zeptil]

YEEEEEEES WE'RE GETTING INTO THE GOOD STUFF! Also fun fact the video is narrated by the voice actor for Shang Tsung from mortal kombat. There's a subtle nod to the moon base that Winston was raised in briefly when it shows the moon, and in game you can see the damage from their fight 😁 There's a lot of symbolism in the video as well, Hanzo put down a feather next to the incense because Genji's nickname was the sparrow. Hanzo is also kneeling in front of Genji's old sword.

I know i'm about 2 years late on this - but as a fun little aside, but the narrator is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, famously known for his role as Shang Tsung in the original Mortal Kombat film in the 90s, which he later reprised in the web series Mortal Kombat Legacy in 2013, and in the video game Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019. Also, a lot of the "damage" done to the Hanamura temple by both Hanzo and Genji show up in the game on this map, like when the arrows went through the big light post at 4:48, and all the arrows from the scatter shot are in the walls/floor of that lower area. The balcony guardrail is also broken in-game. Apologies if they've been mentioned before (not gonna scroll through 2 years of comments).

genji was basically dead but got saved by a healer called mercy..but rhe only way they could save him is by melding his consciousness into a half cyborg body. genji is a shimada who really value their body and training a lot so it was so hard for him to except what happened and what he has become. he went on a finding himself again mission which he ended up in Nepal where he met an omnic called zenyatta. zenyatta is an enlightened consciousness on a level fee are on the planet and he helped genji find peace. hanzo vowed to never use a sword again after striking down his brother in an argument. the problem was that genji and hanzo were supposed to take over the shimada clan together and rule their empire...but genji was a bit of a loose cannon playboy who didn't want the responsibly. so under pressure from the clan hanzo was trying to bring him into check... which ended in genji getting beatdown because hanzo was arguably the best swordsman on the planet. now genji has returned as this cyborg and hanzo is conflicted... is this thing actually his brother? or disrespectful imitation? remember the shimada really value the body and don't respect omnics as real value like humans ... could he really kill his brother again? can he accept him in this form? can hanzo pick up a sword and become an enlightened force for good? and that's why there's the tension at the end, hanzo is torn. u guys seem like the nicest ppl and u pick up a lot on the tone of things as well. keep it up 👍

One of my favorites for sure , this is great , love when game / stories add some lessons for younger generation to look up to. I have a brother and 2 sisters so this was closer to me since as a kids I always fought my brother :( but not anymore of course barely see him this days so i value him more. People don't realize how much close once mean to you untill you lose it , but once you lose them it's too late! "Think about that BROTHER"

Well said 🥲🤗

I just found out that Genji's head, torso, left arm and both legs above the knees are all still organic. I always imagined that his head is the only thing that survived after Hanzo decapitated him.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Fun fact! 😀

[@thiagohayashi9936]

If Blizzard comes to need to change Hanzo's name, Badass Hawkeye is a valid suggestion.

You know, watching this cinematic for the umpteenth time has granted me some new insight. Throughout the cinematic, there's hints throughout the fight that the masked intruder is indeed Genji. Note how Hanzo's opponent psychoanalyses him throughout the fight, especially how Hanzo felt he had to kill Genji to maintain honor. Yes, if he were an assassin sent by the Shimadas, they'd probably be willing to tell him what happened, and he could have merely used that against Hanzo. But the Shimadas could not have given Genji such a deep understanding of his own brother's mind. Look back on how clearly stressed Hanzo is throughout the fight. You can see the anger on his face as this intruder lambasts him on his past deeds. And the guy knew EXACTLY where to hit Hanzo, too-look especially how surprised Hanzo is when Genji name drops him. That, to me, is Genji's own understanding, for how could anyone but a person so close to Hanzo read his emotions so accurately-and know EXACTLY what to say to get under his skin? Next, we come to Genji's line: "I know you come here, every year, on the same day." Yes, this could be an assassin who's really done his homework, but I doubt the Shimadas would be so lenient on time. Hanzo had been causing the Shimadas no end of strife over the past year, and it'd be an embarrassment to such a traditional family to have their eldest son be trashing their operations. But Genji wouldn't have to worry about time. As far as the Shimadas knew, he was already dead. And to add to that, Shimada Castle was Genji's home, too. Genji may have even went looking for Hanzo whenever he had time. What better place to start than home? Now, granted, Genji actually discovering Hanzo there for the first time(BEFORE the cinematic, I must add-Genji knew Hanzo would show up that night) may have just been pure luck. But even if it had been luck, it wouldn't take Genji much to realize the significance. It's kinda hard to forget the day you almost died. All it'd take is a few additional trips to Shimada Castle at around the same day every year to confirm Hanzo's new nocturnal activities.

I love Ken's reaction when Hanzo used his dragons. Had the same reaction when i saw it for the first time. If you like the character Hanzo, i would advise to watch: Dragons of the Nexus from Heroes of the Storm.

Sounds like a cool one to check out 😃 We will put it on our Overwatch list 😇
