People complain about the lack of emotion, but I think they are not picking up on a lot of subtitles with the inflections. This comic in particular seems to paint genji as rather cold and calculating with his most of his rage kept below the surface, only peeking out occasionally. I think the voice actor did quite well in portraying this.

[@shadowxcosplay7440]

Yes, but that is current Genji, after he found Zenyatta and came to peace with his Cybernetic body. This is Blackwatch Genji, right after he got brought back, and used as a weapon for Blackwatch. He's still angry and at times like these his humor can fade entirely.

[@sirtophat4252]

I just think the music could be faded together better

[@Adoniss99]

Wisprsinthedrk that is my thought exactly. Genji seemed much more pissed off through this voice acting compared to the others

[@frostbiteo8932]

I agree. And if i was genji ill just leave like what he did and join the bad people or just leave overwatch and be a rogue and kill people and become a “Cyber Killing Weapon Machine”

[@alexanderlianides1273]

Honestly Genji's anger here is understandable. He grew up with the notion of "honorable" death. However, after being beaten near death by his brother and betrayed by his family, I think he just wanted it to end because he did not want to live on after his tragedy. So he resolved himself to die while he waits for the wounds from Hanzo's fight to kill him. However, overwatch rolls in and just sees an opportunity to take out an organization that has been a thorn in their side for sometime. So Overwatch just ups and picks out all the useless organic bits of Genji and basically coerce him into betraying his family as an act of revenge and justice. In a very short time, Genji has been deprived of everything he valued: his freedom to live the life he chooses, the relationship with his family, and the comradely and love he had for his brother. People like to go on and say he just being "bitchy" and going through his "Hanzo phase", but any normal person would react way worse then Genji did in this situation. So just be mindful that pain is relative to everyone , and to him the anger he displays towards Mercy is well justified.

[@dorianwynn98]

Alex Lianides Thats actually true my friend.

[@wolfie9003]

Yeah that is so true

[@bubblewrap8823]

What a wonderful comment

[@Jackson-hp7rt]

FINALLY someone gets it.

[@0NIUM]

Alex Lianides thank you been thinking and saying the same thing straight facts you said

[@BunnyTheOverlord]

She didn't grab the wrong weapon, Genji just needs healing

[@MrJoelicious72]

Evergrand Storyteller like always

Genji is in his Hanzo phase again people.

[@clownsanity]

ᗰIKᗩᖇᑌ ᗷᒪᗩᑕKᔕᑭᗩᗪE way too edgy...

Cute profile picture mikaru!

[@dewdoesthis4192]

ᗰIKᗩᖇᑌ ᗷᒪᗩᑕKᔕᑭᗩᗪE Remember me..?

[@moondusk53]

ᗰIKᗩᖇᑌ ᗷᒪᗩᑕKᔕᑭᗩᗪE Nah he's been hanging out with Reaper too much.

[@hampeace69420]

Angela Ziegler Thank you!!

[@robingoodfellow5092]

I love the way when Angela starts talking it plays the Persona music, it makes her seem cool and assured. It makes you feel like it's gonna be ok but when Genji starts speaking that music suddenly stops and is replaced with a more slowed down song that leaves an eerie enviroment

[@qc7936]

This was the best dub of this comic. No seriously, the music and the timing of each soundtrack and voice was perfect. The ominous tension was just.... Grand. I loved this

[@kyuby534]

don't worry gengi just saw boku no pico because hanzo told him to and now is pissed he'll be fine in 1 week

[@bambiitree1673]

CowardlyFox Oh lord, I know what that feels like.

[@kyuby534]

have been here too thinking dat was actually a legit anime ,

[@bambiitree1673]

CowardlyFox May we suffer together.

[@kyuby534]

Yaoi Trap are very dangerous indeed

[@laidbackryan]

Bro bro bro it’s genji*

[@UltraTom_]

shit this got me in the feels

[@iFireDragon]

Clown Sanity that's low man. Really low.

[@iFireDragon]

Axii you know, I am still salty about that. I have a prosthetic but it is not the SAME.

[@chautunguyen5351]

Is it bad that I was listening to happy music and was barely paying attention and just bluntly smiling?

[@rachelwhite4271]

Uuuugh the voice acting is so good!! 😫 especially genji’s line “or do you think I am so tame that I am not a threat at all?” So good. I love you guys

[@alexeiruiz687]

excuse me while I cry and yell at Genji angrily

[@Watchmin98]

Alexei Ruiz why yell at him?

[@alexeiruiz687]

398cecilio He's being a Nemo Emo....with good cause? Poor Mercy this whole thing is just sad. #hanzophase

[@Watchmin98]

Alexei Ruiz I wouldn't quite say poor Mercy yes Genji is acting a bit pissy but with good reason she says he's alive I could argue he's just living

[@alexeiruiz687]

398cecilio true true...but it's Mercy she couldn't just let him die.....this whole situation is f***ed 😭

[@Watchmin98]

Alexei Ruiz Mercy got caught up in the politics of overwatch at first it was a way to further her research but then she just got in too deep

[@quickzix9758]

“They Wanted a weapon” But in Genji’s case “He wanted snickers”

[@liyahislazy6226]

Mercy: *grabs healing staff with a literal needle on it* Genji: "You grabbed the wrong item, doc." Me: No Genji, she's about to give you your medication. Also Mercy: *beats Genji multiple times* Me Also: That works *too*

[@themarionetteman4970]

Genji: "You grabbed the wrong item, doc." Mercy: "No, I just can't beat the shit outta you without getting closer-"

[@krinxx1118]

I burst out laughing when Mercy started hitting Genji with her staff, I just found it hilarious

[@enderpika8870]

I think Genji is the one that has went through the most shit so far from lore

[@ElPsyKongroo]

Ender Pika naw Reaper or Widow for sure. Genji at least had a good life prior to his transformation. Same for widow, but she killed her own husband ffs

[@theberserkerarmor6511]

HERNIAK And Genji almost got killed by his own brother.

[@GamingGod-fl2yr]

@@ElPsyKongroo at least Widow is still human

[@KniLsZZ]

ElPsyKongroo Well she was brainwashed so she kind didn’t know what she was doing it not like she didn’t have a life before all of that she lowered her husband and was happy with him there for she had a life reaper had a wife and kids meaning he always had a happy life..genji was not wanted from the start since it was his family who disliked his ways for wanting to be a child and was inches from death in the hand of his brother then put in the middle between robot and human which in the Overwatch lore hate each other..so he dealt with discrimination even when he was alive so yea Genji more than likely worse then Reaper and Widow

[@tocatooquick1389]

I think he may have been through a lot but at least he found peace now. (Not death btw, I meant satisfied with his new body)

[@TheNblWonder]

love gency comics

[@leviathan0556]

shulk the bounty hunter Genji

[@TheNblWonder]

Leviathan05 i took it as a Gency comic (mercy x genji)

[@leviathan0556]

shulk the bounty hunter Ohh sorry

[@iFireDragon]

I love how the artist didn't have any intention for this to be Gency because basically the artist thinks Genyatta is better. Yet it feels so Gency.

[@AndreB23]

I mean, Genji kinda threatened Mercy's life in this comic and then left her after accusing her of not really caring about his well-being and basically saying, "You turned me into a weapon just to appease your organization. Don't act like I mean anything to you ." Oh, and Mercy kinda beat the shit out of him, too. Not exactly a romantic love-fest, IMO. :P

[@Raven-tn5xf]

OMGGG. My feels is so... broken. I love this comics and voices!

[@An2262]

NOW KISS

[@ruca9479]

guidinglightfilms yeeee >:3

[@lunaraurora8308]

It would be awkward since he has that little mask thing over his mouth •-•

[@ruca9479]

Lunar Aurora he would take it of for her:>

[@lunaraurora8308]

Ruca ` yes, but he would have to get rid of the shuriken and as we know, you need 2 hands to take the mask off, so it just ruins the moment... *i totally ship them tho, just saying it would be awkward at that exact time*

[@ruca9479]

Lunar Aurora hhhmmm you're right.... i'm sorry

[@snowpog1964]

OMG This is actually so good...

[@fluffy_ferblejay]

Gengi: gets hit Also Genji: I NeEd heALIng

[@dustylittlecrow3437]

You are alive! *Casually beats up Genji again with healing staff*

[@BunnyTheOverlord]

TFW Seigi fucks with your expectations so often you think the comic may turn into a comedy until the very end.

[@oriannafembot9963]

I love when he uses the persona 5 soundtrack it fits excellently

[@thedovalord3320]

Well... that escalated quickly

[@peterfromfamilyguy4816]

Genji doesn’t even seem mad.

[@thesisterlycousins1428]

1:42 i dont know if mercy was blushing or scared 🤔

[@JD-ud9qt]

Damn this is DEEP

[@Watchmin98]

There is a fine line of being alive and living...guess Mercy didn't quite think of it that way

[@yourconscience6345]

Oh, look! My heart shattered!

[@aidanflynn6248]

This is the best animation I've ever seen Please Please make a part two

[@confloashton3617]

Someone crossed the white mage... looks like someone's not getting up again.

[@brokenpieces5852]

I like how she is just smacking him.

[@dictatorshipzeldriservideu9693]

Zeldriser:I Actually Kinda Agreed With Genji For The First Time Actually I Mean I Understand That The Overwatch Organization They Do Not Needed A Patient But What Do They Need Is A Weapon A Killing Machine A Soldier To Ended The War Faster In Anyway Even Go Through The Darkest Path By Turning Genji Into An A Living Killing Machine That's Why They Are Fool To Think Themselves As The Hero

[@dictatorshipzeldriservideu9693]

Zeldriser:I Mean I Am Aswell A Living Killing Machine Like Him But I'm More "The" Most Powerful Godlike Entity Being Now Since I Have The Power Of An Overlord

[@enovos3138]

Holy shit this is really well made!

[@DXFrost]

You have to wonder if it was turning Genji into what he is that pushed Mercy to revive Reaper the way she did

[@karinge6983]

I didn't know I was crying until it ended 😂😭😭😭

[@PurpleVix666]

They did want a weapon

[@angelaziegler4124]

Genji Shimada I'm.... sorry genji

[@PurpleVix666]

Angela Ziegler no need I-i was too angry and I didn't think about what would happen and I was in my "hanzo phase"but life changed me for the better but if it weren't for you saving my life and hanzo "killing me" I was never going to meet you which I'm thankful for, and if you didn't save me I wouldn't of got into overwatch which I'm a proud member of and a proud Friend of Angela Ziegler(gives Angela a hug)

[@Somilge01]

Poor genji

[@nekoyumi7064]

Hm.. i feel like there was a lack of emotion in this one. But it is completly fine. Perfection comes with experience.

[@daboihimself6650]

TheDiablo150 i think the lack of emotion fits this serious tone in this comic.

[@nekoyumi7064]

Well,opinions diverge to every person. I'll respect yours !

[@babyfat6400]

TheDiablo150 I got laid today

[@Jaynxt524]

"Fuck, he's hot when he's mad!" ~Mercy (when she runs to grab her weapon)

[@WinterShinobi]

Help left the building a long time ago Doctor all that's left is a weapon

[@malcolmrichards1059]

Why am I crying?

[@diegogo5886]

Hey! I want more! Is any comics/animations left? I love this amigo

[@thecrimsonmeteor]

I mean the robot arm thing is perfectly acceptable and imo is the right choice.

[@matherbomb2926]

This is amazing

[@aravonshnooks3290]

It would be interesting for a story for junk before he was crazy or when he met road hog, or how they met overwatch or talon

[@saet8320]

Maybe genji isn't the monster, it's you Doctor, you made me a monster and NOW you have made him one...

[@princesscadance197]

"Overwatch did not want a patient. They wanted a weapon." That speaks so much truth... Morally, leaving Genji to die would have been better, rather than to, "bring him back", just to live with a body that's comprised mostly of cybernetics, and all that came with it, past, present and future, but they brought him back, just so he could help dismantle the clan, but then leave, living as a cyborg and all the hardships that came with it forevermore

[@princesscadance197]

"You are alive, is that not enough?" Yes, he is alive, that is true, but he is living with a cybernetic body that's more of a hinderance than a blessing... Physically, and emotionally

[@baoannguyenuc5775]

mercy's staff dmg:E but abilities is unimaginable she can tame every mother fucking hero with it and she can made everyone begging for her appearance

[@joshuagrifff]

I’m crying with Mercy...

[@n8taka785]

Genji: you picked the wrong weapon. Mercy: precedes to beat the sh*t out of him.

[@somelove9872]

YOU NEVER SEE IT COMIIIIIIINNGGG!!!!! Sorry not sorry but I couldn't refuse to this x)

[@radioactiveassassin5218]

Genji: "Wrong thing doc, lol." Mercy: starts whacking him with the staff.

[@breadmanbreadman8930]
