If genji struck down his brother, he would've gotten a juicy dash reset
Why
Ha hahahaha HA
just ghost dash away
Underrated comment😂
@@iniyangti2616 In Overwatch, Genji has this ability called "Swift Strike". The cooldown is 8 seconds after use, however it can be reset if Genji gets an elimination or an assist.
“Only a Shimada can control the dragons. Who are you?” - “I’m Echo”
😂😂
@Miguel Orbegozo de Castro a dream
Hahahahahahahahahhaah
Kill Quip when Echo kills Genji with Dragonblade:
_Sorry, Genji._ *I’ve been practicing.*
👌lol
Yo how did they charge their ults so fast they missed all their shots
Roan Clearwater hahhahahhaahhaahhahhahahhaa
Hanzo maybe cuz of the goons
Roan Clearwater you fool, genji was saving his and hanzo got it from the goons
Lol copied comment
🤣🤣🤣
They need to make an overwatch movie.
combine all the shorts together and you have about an hour and a half of movie
Actually that was the original plan for overwatch but they decided to make it a game instead
Been hearing that almost 5 years now
Hell yes they do 🤣
Thats what im saying. I NEED that movie
i recommand you the overwatch cinematic "honnor and glory" its like ... SO epic
I second this, It's just so amazing and full of emotions
@@Dunkhardt and like....SOO epic
It's the sadest one and one of the best
Pls!
I would say it would be better to bundle "Honor and Glory" with "The last Bastion" being first of the two.
Since both are tied to the same in-game history event, you basically see both point of the view of the conflict. TLB is showing you the horror of the battlefield, bringing some deeper levels to the conflict in Honor
When you realize scatter arrow doesn’t even exist anymore 🤣
You just triggered me... the good old days
SCATTAH !
@@malekkhelifi5116 yea man, it was actually fun to deflect it as genji :p
scatter ;-;
dude why you gotta open up old wounds like that man ???
I would pay money to see these 2 characters in their standalone game. This short film remains to this date as one of my personal best ever made films.
it would be cool if overwatch 2 has some cool story missions centred around the shimada bros
@@lunaangeleclipse9745 ye I would love that, I really hope hanzos story gets expanded on as well
Mercy and genji together is what I want
Oh god no. Hanzo is the most insufferable character in the game.
@@THEPELADOMASTER have you forgotten about Brig, May, and Moria
Fun fact:
- Hanzo was always known as the “better one” and he was known to be really good with the katana, but after killing Genji he put down the sword due to the guilt caused by it (killing his brother) and instead picked up a bow and arrow (it is seen as the secondary item.) Even though Genji ultimately “defeated” Hanzo, he didnt feel like he won because he knows Hanzo’s true power.
I really hope you do read / look into the lore of Overwatch a little more. It’s really helpful and makes the cinematics so much more interesting.
I dont play overwatch but im really interested in the lore, where should i start?
Hen Thigh overwatch has a horrible storyline, the animations are good and stuff, but the order and the history of characters are horrible. Like the omnic war aka the robots, there is no info about them...
@@Santonx This is what makes Overwatch storytelling such a masterwork. They only give us bits and pieces, enough to draw our own conclusions about what happened within the timeline. Far, far, far better than the all too many games out there that just fucking info dump everything and expect their players to just keep up and understand this massive entangled lore bomb. Or better yet, hide 99% of their lore behind some sort of collectable that most players aren't going to spend the vast majority of their time hunting down just so they have a clear picture of the lore (Destiny, anyone? Those Destiny lore cards were bullshit, felt like a huge ass chore collecting those things to understand lore).
@@azurblueknights how can u hate on destinys story when the only story in ow is in trailers/comics? thats exactly how destiny does it lmao
Ok guys, chill down xD
its maybe a bit silly to think its overreacting. this is just pure passion
Yeah! You do you Connor, all these videos gets lots of views because people love your reactions!! But ofc with fame comes the haters.. But don't let them get you down. Love your videos
i like watching this kind of reaction much more than watching someone just sit there muted for 5 minutes while barely moving. might aswell watch the vid without the reaction then.
We're all reacting like him and the guy don't stop at reacting, he gives a lot of commentary and insights
Since I began seeing some of his videos, there are so much details I didn't notice until he pointed at them
He just open his mouth for get more views.. everyone does it and it's annoying.
@@Jose16Ls even if that's true, I feel the analysis after the review is pretty interesting and enlightening.
A thing you might not know:
When Hanzo uses his ultimate, he yells: "Ryūu ga waga teki wo kuraū!" which is roughly translated as "Let the dragon consume my foes!", while Genji replies "Ryūjin no ken wo kūrae!" one of the meanings of which is "The dragon becomes me!". With it, the only person, that stands there is Hanzo, as Genji became the dragon, symbolizing, that Hanzo's only enemy is himself.
Also, Hanzo has two dragons to symbolize both Genji and Hanzo as he thought that he killed his brother. Hanzo lost himself and with it, he lost the control over his dragons.
Thats sick !
Pretty cool, bur why can't a dragon be a foe?
I’m pretty sure the genii ult line literally means eat the dragon sword
@@goose2077 depends on how to write it in japanese. Translation can greatly change with just 1- 2 hieroglyphs being changed :) At least that's what I heard.
@@pa9030 actually, it can, but Genji has the control over them, because he accepted himself, so its just like he litteraly became the dragon pointing them the foe they need to consume.
Yet, he didn't let them completely consume Hanzo, as his intent was not to kill him, so after pointing the dragons at Hanzo, he moved his dragon up, because otherwise it would've killed Hanzo :)
I love sly little bits of symbolism. Like how we see both brothers making a landing from the same perspective. Hanzo's landing makes noise, like he's heavy (like he's weighed down by the burdens of his past. Whereas Genji's landing is perfectly silent. Sure, he's a ninja, but he is also a man at peace, no longer carrying the burden of Vengeance against his brother.
Also, him no longer carrying the burden of being a cyborg; “I have accepted what I am.”
Have you played darksiders?
that is a really nice way of looking at it.
how tf do people draw this kind of meaning from people dropping to the floor
Also when genji redirects the dragons only Hanzos dragon hits hanzo while genji’s veers off symbolizing genji has forgiven his brother while hanzo is still punishing himself over what he did
It’s cool to see the parallels between the landings: Hanzo is more heavier due to his regular body weight, and genji with his super light landing with his robotic body
It's also to symbolize the weights of the past they carry, where hanzo is carrying all his guilt and genji has let go of his anger
Wouldent metal be heahier than fleash
@@ranabhai1 bruh i think your grammar has fled away
@@ranabhai1 depends on the type of metal. Plus the suit probably controls landings like that much better.
the suit is heavier but i assume it has mechanical abilities to help him move better
It's pure passion. The way you predict moves and react to them. You predict many of the moves cause you share the same mindset the creators of this had. It's the same thoughts any artist would have and it just goes to show the massive passion he has for animation
When my english teacher asks for the deeper meaning behind the movie
He predicted one move if I missed a couple moments
@@wonkosify he predicted the splitting of the arrow and the reveal that he was his brother.
The Dragons cinematic gives me nerd tears - Every. Single. TIme.
Same lol
Whats so sad about it lol
Its not sadness, its epicness flows through you and makes you cry. personally :) ima try hide it from my GF all the time :D
Péter Szegedi perfect explanation :D
@@twotap7713 its not sad, it's beautiful
Genji was actually brought back to life by Mercy, a "Miracle worker". Since most of his body parts were destroyed, he was put into a cyborg body.
Not “most” blizzard confirmed it’s only legs from knees others are fine
@@expiredmilk763 his torso, head and left arm are left
@@ubermaster134 wait so it's on some anakin shit?
@@pinkenenra *HEE HOO*
HANZO
I AM YOUR BROTHER
More seriously, though, you can look up "Blackwatch Genji" to see what he looks like in a more bare bones suit. I would imagine the full getup is for agility and protection, plus looking, uh, *Dope as Hell*
Nothing really gets me more than Hanzo hearing the name of the brother *he* had to kill, and his response being an absolutely enraged "You are not worthy to say his name!"
It just gives of an immense air of respect to me.
That's nice!
I'm still waiting for "zero hour" and "honor and glory" cinematics these are my favourite
HONOUR, AND GLORYYY!!!
Zero hour is the very last one he should watch
Honor & Glory is my personal favorite as well. So many nice emotions about that :)
gotta watch "The Last Bastion" after "Honor And Glory"
Hmmmm...
When Genji said “that he disobeyed the clan”, the sound came for the left (from surround sound speakers/headphones), which is why Hanzo shot to the left, and Genji’s next line immediately shifts to the right side, where he is actually standing.
Hanzo: Only shimadas can control dragons!
Echo: Foolish mortals.
24:30 here Genjis voice is mostly / fully on the left audio channel so Hanzo shoots to the left, but the moment he shoots Genjis voice switches to be only on the right
Chris Connor! There is an explanation for you about what's happening. This story about two brothers who were born in Japanese mafia clan calls "Shimada". The old brother Hanzo (with the bow) was
serious and
callous man and getting ready to take the post of the father as head of the mafia. The young one Genji (with blades and shurikens) was not interested in the affairs of the mafia. He preferred to spend time on the fun. But they both were sons of the head of the mafia so they, therefore, were trained in possession of weapons. So after father's death Hanzo was chosen as a boss of the clan.
The Hanzo was still inexperienced, and therefore the advisers managed to easily convince him that his brother posed a threat to the clan because of his indifference. During the next dispute, the brothers took up weapons and the Hanzo seriously wounded Genji (actually dismembered), after which Hanzo thought that he died and returned to the clan. Genji was found almost dead by the overwatch team and put his remains in the cybernetic body, after which he did a little work for them. Then he went on a journey around the world as he wanted to find harmony in his soul (he was tormented by the fact that he turned into a robot).
Hanzo could not forgive himself for his deed. He left the clan and tried to atone for his guilt (including coming in family's castle every year on the day of a duel between him and his brother)
P.S. make a video about Honor and glory(overwatch cinematic about crusaders) I think you and others will love it.
Overwatch short moves are all cool but I'm really interested to see you react to THE LAST BASTION as a film maker. I think it ll be very interesting for you considering there is absolutely 0 talk in this short (also it's the most beautiful). :)
Strongly agreed
And it features my favorite hero and hero's pet, Bastion and Ganymede =D
What about all the beep boops
Agreed, hoping to see Last Bastion here.
it's animation and music is probably the best and it's probably the most beautiful overall... story telling without words is an art
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN I GOT GOOSEBUMPS THE WHOLE TIME. IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME EVER SINCE THIS HAS BEEN RELEASED. 4 YEARS AGO!!!! I WAS SO PROUD THE WHOLE TIME LIKE SMIRKING T^T
I MISS THE OLD OW DAYS
I want a redemption arc for Hanzo, I still believe he can change, y'know😔
for real bro
Overwatch has so much potential as a movie. More than enough to surpass Warcraft.
I absolutely agree that this particular cinematic was on another level! I'm so glad to see someone else so excited about it! Definitely agree about embracing your kid side-- letting the wonder of a story pull you into another world and immersing yourself in that story, letting THEIR fears, worries, doubts, grief be YOUR own for a moment or two-- gotta keep that cathartic response up lest we lack the empathy needed to be human.
This cinematic was brief but packed to the brim with information and emotion. From the story of the dragons, the smallest details that make themselves apparent once you figure it all out (like the chipped katana Hanzo used to "kill" Genji fading into the ripped scroll on the wall with blood splattered on it to the look of solemn grief on Hanzo's face-- SUPER brief but was a 1-2-3 punch-- or the fact that both brothers wear similar cloths on their head that flutter together in the wind when Genji holds his wakizashi to Hanzo's throat) to the minute facial expressions when things revealed themselves ("I know who you are, Hanzo"-- Hanzo's brief widening of eyes before he launches back into action, because likely the people who have been hired to hunt him down are most likely on a need-to-know basis and this man knows too much. The revelation that Hanzo wishes for death even as he fights off assassins from his former clan-- maybe also bounty hunters and former Shimada-gumi competitors and that Genji understands this even though the last time he saw Hanzo was when he was murdering him lol. The way that Hanzo can't even look Genji in the eyes when he asks him "What have you become?" Hanzo's eyes widening at the end of his "Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau" always gets me-- such a cool look on his face. Finally, his look of surprise when Genji draws his katana and summons his dragon as well). All of this-- it's fuckin *chef's kiss*. The choreography for the fights was amazing and they did a really great job of exploring the map for the game itself and also showcasing some of the moves used in-game as well.
This was a really cool video-- I really enjoyed having this broken down. Somehow it makes it even better for me understanding the creative process behind the video. Such good work from the team responsible for creating it.
Yeah this short was amazing and re watching this actually made me feel more then most other things do and actually makes me remember how sad Hanzo and Genji’s backstory are really sad
Not reading allat
On top of this, the dragons during their ults and their colors are the final note confirming the thread between the dragon tapestry and Genji and Hanzo themselves. It confirms that they are what was being talked about. Its such a great piece of connectivity and this short is full of moments like that
Lamaooo
Mate you need to do "Honnor and Glory" "Rise and Shine"and "Recall"
Yup
Only one n in honor
Last bastion?
Recal kinda sucks
Overwatch is a rip-off of tf2
The Last Bastion is an absolute masterclass in wordless storytelling.
@@doggiecoaster9198 i dont think he was joking
Because of that short film and the actual game, everyone loves and hates bastion at the same time.
31:35
if you didn’t know genji’s voice lines when you said “a shadow of my former self,” he actually says that in-game
Connor looks like a kid who is watching star wars for the first time. It’s so nice to watch him enjoying it! “Nice!” hahah🥺
"Honor and glory" is really good and an orgin story
"The last Bastion" is also very good and another orgin story
"zero hour" is the newest one and a kind of segway to OW2
Zero hour sucks imo
Vanilla Coke zero hour is fucking amazingggg
@@crimsonisadilf Idk, it's the only one I didn't like.
Vanilla Coke
I think Mei’s is worse
1) *segue (really sorry)
2) zero hour is awesome, genji wears clothes
A lot of Overwatch cinematics tie together.
The Intro Cinematic and Are You With Us? are really necessary to watch before some of them, like Honor and Glory and Rise and Shine. Zero Hour should be the last on the list, as it is the trailer to Overwatch 2 (still in development).
So in order it should be:
Intro Cinematic/Are You With Us -> Alive (watched)/Hero/Dragons/Recall -> Reunion (watched)/Rise and Shine/Honor And Glory (-> The Last Bastion)/Infiltration/Shooting Star -> Zero Hour.
Most important is the "Are You With Us?" cinematic teaser before Reunion, Rise and Shine and Honor and Glory, as it ties a lot of story together
Edit: Few self-corrections.
true true, the story will make a lot of sense in that sequence
The announcement trailer for the game is somewhat important but not really, only ties into a single line Tracer says to Widowmaker in Alive
@@melonman6522 - The music in Dragons is amazing. It's immediately thematic and tells its own story. They used the same thematic drums when a certain person makes his appearance in the OW2 trailer. I love call-backs like that; it ties the whole OW world together!
IMO, The Last Bastion should be watched before Honor And Glory, as it helps to not know anything about the character or the environment. In terms of release order, The Last Bastion came before Honor And Glory too.
Please start watching them in order so you get the characters!
If you're wearing headphones and watching the cinematic, when Genji and Hanzo move into another room, you can hear Genji talking in your left ear, but after Hanzo shoots the arrow, you can hear him talking in your right ear
Bro same, I got chills from that lol
6:31
Generated captions: "You think you are your brother gets you with incest offerings"
_w h a t_
what the cinnamon toast fuck
This could be a r/woosh but i think he said honor.
"You think you honor your brother Genji with incense offerings?"
Dude,Fuuuuck.Now it just sounds like that
WHAT THE POTATO FRIED FUCK?
Im just gonna go into some Overwatch Lore.
Overwatch is set in a future where omnics (Robots/AI) were being produced. The company that produced them got shut down for fraud, but that isn't too relevant. What is important is that a lot of people obviously wouldn't trust the omnics, because most people don't see AI as life. This leads to a bunch of people and omnics hating each other, which leads to the Omnic Crisis. Basically, a bunch of omnics tried to team up to murder a bunch of humans. Obviously, the humans didn't like that. This is where Overwatch comes in.
Overwatch is an organisation that was made to combat omnic/human hate. They keep the peace, and if uprisings happen, they quell them. Overwatch consists of soldiers, doctors, engineers, etc. The best people to stop omnics were there. After the Omnic crisis settled down (The crisis is over but the problems are still there), Overwatch just became an organisation that was there to just make the world a better place.
But crime still kept popping up, so people got mad, thought that Overwatch was the problem. Eventually the government shut them down, and now Overwatch is illegal and omnics and an organisation named Talon, who want the plunge the world in the anarchy for varying reasons, are just making everything suck. That's the gist of the plot. Now for some CHARACTER lore.
The people you saw in this clip were the Shimada brothers, Genji and Hanzo. They were from a crime empire in Japan, and Genji was going to become the heir. He didn't really care, Hanzo got mad, stabbed him a lot and thought he died. Turns out Overwatch saved him, and they said in return for his life, he would help them do some Blackwatch stuff (Blackwatch was the undercover version of Overwatch, for things where politics got in the way). The sword that Hanzo rests at is the sword that he stabbed Genji with. He hates himself for "killing" Genji, so he abandons the sword and the empire and turns to the bow and goes for spiritual enlightment.
From the last 2 cinematics, Widowmaker is the wife of an Overwatch agent brainwashed by Talon to become the perfect assassin. That's all you need to know, there are other details, but I won't include them.
Tracer is a british (duh), lesbian (not so duh) that got into some time shenanigans by going to fast in a jet. A hyper intelligent space monkey (you see him in Zero Hour and Recall) saved her by making that thing she wears, which also lets her speed herself up and rewind.
Ashe had a bad childhood, so she solved it by making her own family, called the Deadlock gang. Jessie Mccree was one of these gang members, but he got caught by Overwatch and was to either spend time in jail or help Blackwatch. Mccree chose option 2.
I would say more, but this took way to long to write.
Slight Corrections , although for the most part you are correct:
Overwatch was originally created ONLY for the Omnic Crisis, but evolved beyond that and got involved in Peace-Keeping. Overwatch was never considered a problem in the general community until a Blackwatch mission (Basically the dirty side of the organization) went south. The event Retribution has people play through the Mission (Could go more into the Mission but for the sake of my keyboard I won't).
Due to the reveal of Blackwatch from the Mission played through in Retributions, the public opinion of Overwatch shifted from being positive, to VERY negative. They already had no real point as the Omnic Crisis had ended by the time that the Retribution's storyline plays out, and so public opinion demanded the closing of Overwatch.
It is revealed later on, that Talon had staged a large portion of Overwatch's downfall (Although I don't remember if it is revealed how much they had a hand in Overwatch's downfall.)
Going to this Cinematic with Hanzo and Genji, Genji was never in line for being the heir to the Shimada Clan, Hanzo was. Genji was very relaxed and flippant over his responsibilities in the clan, although it was not much to begin with, and so the clan's elders and higher ups wished for him to be taught a lesson by Hanzo. It is unknown whether they wished for Hanzo to kill Genji or to just cut him down a peg. During the fight things go wrong and Genji gets horribly injured by Hanzo. Due to this, Hanzo now refuses to use a sword (the weapon he was most accustomed to using and the one he was best at using) and uses a bow instead.
The rest is all correct in your comment. Just wanted to correct some small things, while being the Lore Nerd I am ;-;
He is NOT a monkey!
He is a scientist!
Nice essay dud
Elite Nani!?!! A fake Read More button?!?!
@@elite5102 Well at least now Hanzo is more like a real samurai since they primarily used bows.
Now you need to check out “the Last Bastion” and “Honor and Glory”
N8_Dawgg the two best ones to me
From a pure cinematics perspective, Last Bastion is the one I want to see him watch. No dialogue, no people except in background, but the sound design is absolutely incredible all the way to the final music fade.
Yes this ^.^
Honestly reacting to any of the Overwatch cinematics is my recommendation, but Honor and Glory is pretty good along with the Last Bastion (which is more storytelling than action)
yep that's a true......
Dragons was the cinematic that got me into Overwatch, so I absolutely love that you appreciate it so much.
One thing I really like about the storytelling is the subtle details. For example Hanzo's line "Real life is not like the story our father told us, you were a fool for believing it so!" and the final shot revealing the giant painting of the two dragons from the first scene suggesting that the narrator throughout the cinematic is the father of the two brothers telling them this tale to the siblings presumably when they were younger.
I like how he gets really surprised when he sees scatter arrow and genji splitting the arrow in half. And also the ultimates.
I think your the first person I’ve seen that didn’t scream “tHat’S tHe bRoTher!!” during the fight
It's been 6 years and I've seen this short a dozen or more times and it still brings me to tears every time. Easily the best cinematic they've made
Honor and glory is close
So glad you reacted to this one. Seriously... The music in this is next level, the story tugs at the heart strings, and the animation is just SO good. The fact that they are able to grab on to your attention and keep you SO invested in a vid that's less than 10 minutes is incredible.
"this on is on an other level"
dude
DUDE
you need to go watch "Honor And Glory", then "Zero Hour"
I had so much chills on both, and Honor And Glory almost made me crying
@Luke Berkowitz well, it's not like he has seen them in order.
I mean he litterally began with one of the latest, I don't think the order is particulary important.
Is Zero Hour as exciting to someone who doesn't play overwatch? I feel half the awesomeness of that short comes from the return of familiar heroes
@Luke Berkowitz watch them all lol
@@feichenyang6543 It didn't seem to be a big hit w ppl who weren't already invested in the story, but for everyone who'd been keeping up w the lore up until that point (not just shorts but comics, stories, events etc) it was a tearjerker.
something you didn't mention is that once Hanzo sits down, the story continues, but when it mentions the dragon, instead of focusing back on the tapestry it looks at Hanzo, connecting the two stories.
Just discovered your channel today, I love how you react to the cinematic first and give the audience a play-by-play afterwards, you break everything down so well and I was captivated by how you explained everything. Subscribed
"I see what they did there"
Me: "they did something??"
“Blizzard presents”
In a blizzard setting
Overwatch Animated Short | “Honor and Glory” and Overwatch Animated Short | "Infiltration"
Idk why but every time I watch it it gives me goosebumps like every time
The fact that they actually had Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa do the narration for this animation really grabs your attention at the start and near the end of the animation. To be honest, this is one of my personal favorites out of all the overwatch animations combined.
Just finish all the Overwatch cinematics! Every single one is amazing.
The amazing parallelism between the fable and the story between Genji and Hanzo is nicely done and balanced. The hints dropped here and there from the fable side makes you guess, and the way it is revealed in the story where it confirms your guess gives the viewer a sense of satisfaction.
but even if one didn’t guess it, when one connects the story at the end with the fable and connects the dots, this gives a sense of closure and satisfaction.
Overall, 10/10 for me too. :D
I particularly LOVE how the short decides to take a more "realistic" approach to the conclussion of the story, it doesnt go with the typical good/bad with happy ending tone, but ends with a semi sour taste and grey undertone: Of course Hanzo is still conflicted about his brother being still alive and now half machine, he hates omnics and used to kinda hate his brother! (He only killed the robot at the beggining, as proof) and of course he doesnt instantly forgives him (or himself) for what happened in the past, you dont get over things like that instantly.
They decided to separate the story from the fable and Hanzo says as much, too: "Real life is not like the stories our father told us"
uh does noone wanna mention to him smth rly cool. so like when the fight transitions to the room where genji and hanzo use their ults or dragon stuff, if u have earphones i hear genjis voice from my left earbud and not my right, and after hanzo shoots the arrow at the left wall, he turns around and we find genji to his right, and the audio switches. its also cool that after genji dashed up the stairs, he went left at the top and appeared to the right of hanzo after. the bell engraving transition isnt so great as the engravings dont match up or arent ad clear cuz i cant tell.
When Genji says “You risk so much to honor someone you murdered”... Bro, I really felt that.
Yeah, I'm sure we can all relate to murdering people
Didn't know Chris was a bleach fan XD
ikr, that's awesome!
why would u not be a bleach fan?
Dude your enthusiasm in these reactions is spot on. Never apologize for being authentic! Love your channel! Keep posting and being YOU!
4 years later and I still get goosebumps when they both use ult
I would recommend the rainbow six siege “tournament of champions” and “the hammer and the scalpel”
Definitely tournament
You should look at “The Last Bastion” and “Honor and Glory” together next.
Yeeees
I second this
you definitely didnt overreact, this cinematic actually made me cry with the message genji brought to hanzo. your reactions were amazing also!
I just realized at 30:03 Genji has the 1 blue head sash for his blue dragon, while Hanzo had 2 green head sashes for his green dragons. The attention to detail is incredible
You got the dragons mixed, Hanzo has the 2 blue Genji has 1 Green
Genji: Splits Hanzo's arrow
Chris: Nuts
I am with a lot of other people here, you need to see "Honor And Glory", you pretty much need to see them all really, but for me, the 2 best ones are this one and Honor And Glory.
You must be a heartless monster to not include the Bastion one, I got teary eyed when I thought he killed the bird.
I have never clicked video faster in my life before
Awesome :)
same XD
I just hope these shorts get watched in order.
@@ChrisConnorFilms plz save the one zero hour for last it's the conclusion of all of them
Yeah, its a pity he didnt watch them in order ^^ but man, he saw Dragons :D
this is my favorite short of ALL of Overwatch’s animations. it’s SO GOOD. it’s so much sadder when you realize that the place they’re fighting it is the place where Hanzo left Genji to die, which is why there’s a slash in the painting where Hanzo kneels ): their story is tragic but I love it so much
One subtle detail that I love and that I haven't seen many if any people comment on is that at 6:23-6:25 during the melee combat sequence, if you listen closely you can just about make out the noise of whirring servos as Genji winds up for the kick.
Great vid, I enjoyed your breakdown of it all. Fun fact, though it might've been mentioned already, the sword on the display is Hanzo's, he used it to kill Genji and then swore never to touch it again. It's the reason he uses a bow instead, story-wise. In game mechanics, Hanzo and Genji used to be one character with both a bow and a sword, but he was so overpowered they made him two characters with two separate ability sets instead, and came up with this story for them. Good work by all, IMO. Also, that scatter shot he uses is no longer in the game. I miss the salt.
I love how every reactor gets surprised by genji splitting the arrow but he literally asked for it right before it happened
1 small thing I like is that, by the end the short makes it very clear that the dragons are not the same as hanzo/genji. The storybook-style part says that the two dragons became human, and worked to mend their relationship. In the very next scene, it shows that hanzo is still not open to the idea of mending the hole in his soul that's there.
I thought they would get a random guy and made him say like "Damn this is cool, so cool, wow", and gladly I was wrong. They took someone that has actual knowledge about it and made it much more interesting.
man, watching this made me realize of so many details I didn't see after years, great video!
"Honor and Glory" and "The Last Bastion" tell the same story from two different sides and its really cool to see just how different they are, besides both being good storytelling in general.
Everyone’s talking about overwatch stuff, but can we appreciate how crisp that spacebar sounds
Yes
"split it!"
*Genji splits the arrow*
*Happy and wholesome filmmaker noises*
"Ever get the feelin' of deja vu?" "Yes tracer, yes I do"
3:03
Chris: what is that hair?
Josuke: *CRAZY DIAMOND*

Definitely Honour and Glory, in my opinion it is the best cinematic both visually and thematically, and it’s epic
Enough with overwatch more swtor cinematic please
Zero Hour is that one when you gotta have goosebumps all the time.
You should check out last bastion overwatch its different from the rest there is no talking but tells a amazing story
Loved it pls do zero hour
A movie of these 2 would honestly be the best thing in the world, like a movie about their past
PLEASE ! React to "Destiny 2 : forsaken - Last stand of the gunslinger"" ! Please ! TOTALLY worth it I SWEAR !!!
@@aimlessjames8939 "shhhhhh... This is going to hurt.... A lot"
“The last bastion” it has great story telling with any words or speech and has a great theme
The moment when he dashes in with the sword but not killing him standing on the knees is so intense.
I actually never noticed how dope this cinematic is, awesome review.
dang you missed my favourite transition in the whole thing, where they go from ash in the illustration to petals of the tree floating in the air, beautiful
I think a good order would be
Recall: so he knows who the scientist is
Rise and shine: it leads on from recall
The last bastion: back story for the next
Honor and glory: because it's honor and glory
Zero hour: should have the character development and back story he needs after the previous four
And honestly the rest can come whenever after these, imo they aren't that great
Infiltration is amazing
Alive is the best of them, wdym not that good?
@@erikhjortsater5461 He probably didn't include it on his list cuz the guy that made this video already went through "Alive" in another video.
Y'all sleeping on Infiltration
Why does everybody always forget Shooting Star ;-;
It’s amazing to see his love and excitement about animation
Can I just say that you're refreshingly good at making reactions, you don't take too long to speak, you keep it short when making comments through the video and your reactions in general are great.
I 100% agree, im 30 and still get goosebumps and almost cry on epic parts of movies/cinematics just because how good it is!
He NEEDS to watch the ones about Reinhardt and Bastion.
Dude that is such a powerful line when he says “perhaps I am a fool for believing there is still hope for u, but I do” like holy sht that gives me chills
I’ve rewatched the Dragon Cinematic maybe over 3000 times and every time I watch it, the meaning and emotions become more real and intense. These reactions are so relatable I’m glad I’m not the only person who gets blown away by this cinematic 😂 It’s really a work of art, perhaps even a Masterpiece
3000 x 8 minutes. 24000 minutes. 300 hours, ~12 days? stop the cap
@@czkiller7378 yes 12 days sounds about right, got a problem with my fangirling?
“We lose touch with our kid’s side”
BROOOO!!! I never let go of my kid’s side I’ll die along with the child in me lmao 😂
This is my fav. overwatch movie, i watched it sooo many times. Love the music throughout the whole thing!!
The music in this is so great. It's immediately thematic and tells its own story. I loved that they used the same thematic drums when a certain person makes his appearance in the OW2 trailer. I love call-backs like that; it ties the whole OW world together!
I still nerd out as much as I did when this one released, it never gets old.
Thank you so much for these videos, it's so much fun to learn more about all this stuff via the cinematics that I love so much
Here's some information to help you better understand and love this trailer even more: When Genji says "I have accepted what I am", means that he now has a mostly cybernetic body. Sure he survived Hanzo trying to kill him but he was mutilated so badly he only had his head, half his chest, and left arm survive. The good guy organization, Overwatch, found him and made him robot organs and also kept his part of his organic body, making him the only thing on earth that was really half human and half robot. He doesn't function like a human, but he doesn't really function like a robot either. Anyway, that also makes this scene so much more powerful, Genji's story is my favorite I really recommend you check out his lore because there's more. Love your channel!!!
1 Cool thing about this is, that on the map in the game. (This is an actual map in the game) The shurikens and the holes where the arrows went through are on the map, which in my opinion is really cool
Try and watch the cinematic "The last Bastion" it was close to win an international award
Fun fact: The voice actor for Hanzo also voiced Malthael in Diablo 3.
Hanzo: kill me
Genji: well now I won’t
Seeing this guy’s genuine excitement over the moments in this cinematic filled me with such beautiful glee
One extra thing I love about the shot at 30:00 is that the trails of cloth coming from their heads refect the dragons they just summoned, with Hanzo having two and Genji with one. Just a cool little detail that I didn't notice until after probably my third time watching through the short :)
I'd definitely suggest watching through The Last Bastion and Honour & Glory in a double-episode like the previous one, since those are the most closely-linked of all the Overwatch shorts. I'd suggest that order too, since TLB was made first and is probably better with the backstory of H&G still being somewhat mysterious.
And while I'm here, I dunno if you'd also consider looking at game cutscenes, but some of the important ones in Xenoblade Chronicles might be fun to look at since Definite Edition just released a couple of weeks ago :D
there is also the fact that when genji cut the arrow in half, it split into 2, forming a blue spiral with the feathers of the arrows, being a minor forshadowing to the dragon redirect
Genji will always be my favorite character, his story and background are so cool, this cinematic is the best, so epic ! I looooved your reaction, I definitely had the same the first time I watched it haha
The amount of times I have seen this full video already, I love your reaction and how you explain and break down the short, is amazing
Here I am again
I still have goosebumps when I watch this cinematic.
