- I will never sacrifice my honor: blizz.ly/MeetGenji
The former son of the master of the Shimada ninja clan, Genji was almost slain in a disagreement with his brother Hanzo over their family’s illegal businesses. On the brink of death, Overwatch saved his life by putting him through an extensive process of cyberization in exchange for his help in their operations against his family’s empire. Once repulsed by the mechanical parts of his body, Genji has made peace with himself, and in doing so has discovered a higher humanity.
Genji's new form enhanced his natural speed and agility and enhanced his superlative ninja skills. His main weapons are his arsenal of precise and deadly Shuriken, and his katana, which he uses to deflect incoming attacks. He utilizes his augmented abilities to climb walls, double jump, and deliver dashing Swift Strikes that leaves his foes bleeding. When the time comes for Genji to unleash his blade, he summons the dragon and can cut down enemies with a single slash.

he can deflect rockets with a sword.
HE CAN DEFLECT ROCKETS WITH A SWORD.
Because cutting a rocket in two won't make it instantly explode.
He's breaking the rules of nature.
My question is:
Can he deflect a dragon-arrow?
+Chocl8215 *RULES OF NATUUURE!!!*
+Pandiadot
- Could he reflect Roadhog's hook and make the enemy he is aiming at being pull toward him?
- Could he reflect Reinhardt charge and make that Reinhardt turn back and charge at where he aiming at and pin Genji's enemy?
- Could he relfect Zarya's ultimate back and make it his own so it can suck his enemies in?
- Could he reflect Tracer's ultimate?
- Could he reflect McCree ultimate and instand kill the one he aiming at?
.....
- Could he reflect enemy Genji's reflect? I mean when 2 Genji turn reflect on and aim at eachother. Would the bullets keep reflecting between those two?
Woah, his dash used to be super OP
It was ever since he got his rework. It's just that most people only care about Exalted Blade
xD we have a warframe player here. Exalted Blade indeed.
+Kei Angelus its dragon blade xD .....but ye, excalibur is kinda similar to genji
I always use Hikou as a secondary too so it works well.
We need op dash back :l guys how do we get it back ?
I can't find the "passive" button in my keyboard
space
space
***** How are we? It's space.
lol
RektWithStyle Except that you still need to press on the space bar. You COULD change the control settings to make Genji and Hanzo climb walls automatically, but by default you still need to press space.
My first comment was a joke. You are the first person to actually respond by saying something wrong.
His dash used to have a bleeding effect
SWEEEEEET
Shiro Kage Taka maybe it is a variant of your x retsu
Ambiso Tawsik what about kaku
Videogamer Dude imagine if genji could dissappear in a puff of smoke smoke and heal like that that would be overpowered
Shiro Kage Taka I didn't know his Dash has the bleeding effect
TaKappa god...if it was with blood effect....could be really O.P....3kill if u was in a single room...
Genji are you drunk? It's ryujin no ken wo kurae
It's an early build of him
The old one is better
+Cytrillex RIBlockster why are you telling me this?
+Cristiano Ronaldo new one is better.
yes im drunk
green ninjamanguy ;-; finally
+Chris P. all waited for HIM xD
finally! Genji has returned to Monday night Raw!
+Chris P. It's not a ninja. He's a samurai.
+ColdplayMulti The description of this video calls him "the former son of the master of the Shimada ninja clan". Not to mention the fact he is very clearly based on the general fantasy version of a ninja.
Brick Brassbone Just because a clan is of ninjitsu origin, does not make him a ninja. Hanzo isn't one either, yet he is of the same clan. Your argument is invalid.
I can see the epic fights between Genji and Hanzo in the near future.
the future looks bright my friend
dude thats Hanzo's friend from the dragon clan
+Mohd Nur Aiman Rafei Bin Roslan actually thats his "dead" brother
+John Hollingsworth Epic and tragic. Imagine the dialog exchanges.
"Genji, please forgive me!"
"YOU KILLED ME BROTHER, ENTRAPPED ME IN THIS METAL PRISON. NOW I WILL CUT YOU DOWN AS YOU DID ME!"
Or them teaming up.
"I'm sorry, you see that I now seek redemption."
"You will have it when you prove yourself worthy of it."
+John Hollingsworth you know, you're not wrong. In Genji's backstory, Hanzo is the one who caused him to get a cyborg body in the first place (by beating him within an inch of his life).
0:35 listen with your eyes close.

RULES OF NATURE
AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
+Dinosaur Noodles You sir, got a thumbs up.
+MythrilMan WITH THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE
+ForgottenOutra ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
Raiden FOR A WHILE. NO CHOICE!
Disappointed that his sword is exclusively Ultimate, but still fun
+ArraySix Same. I was hoping for a sword default or switch at will.
+ArraySix Yeah that's a bit sad, but on the other hand it's cool that the sword is super powerful!
ArraySix Unlockables like TF2 sound great. We don't know what they plan to do though this early. No signs of any progression systems in the beta yet.
***** Deeefinitely will be, if they hope to take over from TF2
+ArraySix It could be his regular melee attack as well.
For those wondering, here are his quotes (UPDATED!)
Source: Own knowledge, but I think they are correct.
身を捨てても名利は捨てず
Mi wo sutetemo myouri wa sutezu
Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor.
(opening speech)
龍撃剣
Ryuu gekiken
Dragon fencing
(ultimate start)
水のように流れ
Mizu no youni nagare
Flow like the water
(ultimate end)
始め!
Hajime!
Start!/Begin!
(deflecting bullets)
上等だ!
Joutou da!
Bring it on!
(deflecting bullets)
俺は風だ
Ore wa kaze da
I'm the wind
(closing speech)
Bonus Hanzo ultimate:
龍が我が敵を食らう
Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau!
Let the dragon consume/devour my/our enemies!
+Raziel Zero THANK YOU!
+Raziel Zero Thank you for that! Also, what is he saying at 1:31 and at the very end?
+Keltfire88 俺は風だ！Ore wa kaze da! I'm the wind(that slashing through this battlefield)!
+Keltfire88 Sorry i was wrong."上等だ！"Joutou da! Bring it! 上等 means "It's good", but in this case, Genji felt will to fight from his enemy, and he approved.
TheMasuyamiso Thanks!
0:35 just close your eyes and imagine
what have i done...
I didn't need to close my eyes....
lol
+Potatoe My Tomato same
+Decoder Fnaf ohh, ur name, it's... it's... it's magical.
You just HAD to make things awkward didn't you? lol
The first person viewmodels and animations in this game is simply wonderful.
So unique too!
Remember back when Hazo's arrows practically blinded you and your teammated if you used it?
Yeah.
Good times.
They really are! The Overwatch team is something special.
+Tabe *are
+Tabe I agree. But I have to say I've never liked the first person view and I feel like they are wasting all the gorgeous animations by having that in this game. This could easily be over the shoulder and be just as good. Then we'd get to see our awesome characters doing awesome stuff.
Not the Genji I expected...BLOOD FOR THE BUTTERFLY!!!
+aleflippy1997 SWEEEEEEEEET NECTAR!
+aleflippy1997 So cool to find Awesomenauts fans over here =D
All I could think of when I heard his name was genji from awesomenauts
+Gutsm3k ^^, its no support but its cool anyway.
+aleflippy1997 OOOH! Shiny trinket!
The opening speech was beautiful. :,)
"even though i sacrifice my body, i will never sacrifice my honor"
Yes im 5 yrs late
Salute
How come you ain't getting likes my boi?
Oh wait, I understand...
@@planktontimberhill7177 Or 1 Year only
Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season
Or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade
A desolate place
Without any trace
It's only the cold wind I feel
It's me that I spite
As I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real
There will be blood-shed
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one left
Will ride upon the dragon's back
Because the mountains don't give back what they take
Oh no
There will be blood-shed
It's the only thing I've ever known
Losing my identity
Wondering have I gone insane
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight
This man was ahead of his time
you are a genius lyricist
Let's dance
@@jackfillet4867 not really. MGR:R is already cemented itself in meme culture at that time.
So badass, can't wait to try him out.. when I actually get into the beta ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
+BestAtNothing if you dont stream or make youtube its not gonna happen xD Kappa
+OmegagamingDK It can, it's just not as likely. Most of the people in the beta are just normal people.
+BestAtNothing You can pay 60$ when it comes out to play it.
+BestAtNothing I can already see a skin for him being what he looked like before the robot incident.
i feel your pain
ok new main
+Busdriverx My thoughts exactly
Like all the others heroes yeah.
First main*
+Busdriverx I think you'll say that about 5 more times untill you get in the beta
you got me at shuriken
OW shorts?
Caaaaaaalled it
Yes
0:12, Genji one-tricks :
*"wait genji has a left click????"*
A Cyborg Ninja? Am I the only one getting a Grey Fox vibe out of this character?
+Felipe Melo I'm thinking Jack Raiden.
+darkfury45 Nah, definitely an Excalibur(Warframe) looking guy to me.
Nah he's clearly Master Yi from League of Legends
Project Yasuo? xd
But yeah he looks like Raiden
+Felipe Melo This is clearly a samurai. As is Gray Fox.
So you tell me that if I get a kill while his dash is on cooldown it will reset it @_@
+OliMax Rave I'm fairly sure that Genji himself has to kill them, and it only works if the ability kills them (either via the strike or the bleed)... the ultimate (and other abilities) probably resets it as well as long as the bleed is still active when they die. Of course, maybe an assist while the bleed is active would probably do it, to save teammates from ruining your offensive ability and mobility - likely getting you killed, if that were the case.
+OliMax Rave From the website: "After the initial strike, his targets begin to bleed and take additional damage over time. If Genji eliminates a target with this ability, he can instantly use it again."
+OliMax Rave Yup. As long as the bleed is on the enemy, as long as you get counted for the elimination (no final blow required, can be an elim assist), the cooldown resets. Extremely powerful.
Patchumz That is so cool but his passive tho , better then Hanzo's , they should add double jump to Hanzo too , so it can be more equality . They are brothers after all
Maybe someone should note that his ultimate lets him deliver seriously damaging melee attacks, which should be able to work with his swift strike. Now THAT's OP
1:05 what have they done to him
RYUJIN NO KEN WO KURAE!
But this one he only says ryujinoken :(
Ryûgeki-ken*
Terra Gamer40 nein tete
Ace Sh4dow he said Ryuugekiken, its his blade name
Here's a littile lesson in trinquilty this is going down in HARMONY if you wanna be a zen number one ..you have to chase a pro genji on the run ...just follow my lead and SNEAK around be carful not to make a sound (winston touches a patch health) DON'T TOUCH THAT !
Who wants some Wang?
+TheVengefulEagle Crouching Tiger, Hidden Wang.
+TheVengefulEagle Hey you, pull mah finger
+TheVengefulEagle "I was into overwatch before it was cool" "you should move to Portland and start a band"
+TheVengefulEagle You got the touch!!!
+TheVengefulEagle "Chopping duds to bits!"
99% of the weeaboos are going to play as him, definitely.
+Thomas Cavanagh nope, D.va
+Thomas Cavanagh 100% of everyone will play him eventually
Bela W She's Korean, though.
SuzakuX they won't care
And the other 1% will play as Hanzo.
Oh my, a cool ninja character. I wonder how he turns out in the future.
Dude, Blizzard is _killing_ it. All 3 of these new characters look incredible. Every character they've put out is unique and awesome.
7 years later, how are you liking the game?
@@mhmyuhh Literally just got done shitting on OW2 on Reddit, lmao. They gutted the game and went full scam mode.
did they take out that bleed effect on his swift strike? didn't see that on the open beta
+Khristian Ortiz they took the bleed off and reduced his shuriken damage by 30%, his alt slash also does less damage then shown in the video
They also reduced his ult damage (idk why tho) so it's now a 2 hit kill even for the squishiest of characters.
I still main him, but I fell he is very much under powered.
They really should up the damage on the ult, it really is frustrating to use on groups.
This is a team game not a solo carry game.
+NeoUzzy I'm aware
you used to be able to one shot a tracer by pressing shift...
Everything about Genji, from his design (chestplates, face-shield, etc.) to his backstory (cybernetically augmented samurai) screams Raiden, especially in Revengeance.
But you know what, I'm loving every second of it.
Same here :D
ninja
Overwatch is my favourite anime
TVJGaming TRIGGERED
Same
It has mexicans
@@genjishimada4748 SHOW ME YOUR WAYS MASTER
TheseVGF same
looks super strong
+Quiestre That's the point of literally every hero/champion/whatchagonnacallit spotlight video ever :P
+Tarudizer yea they're like amazingly op but then I remember that all of them are op and everything is ok
+Quiestre All of the enemies in these spotlights have a lot less health than in the actual game, so that they can just demonstrate the abilities easily, killing people quickly and making it look fun and op :P
RULES OF NATURE!
No? Anybody? Okay, I'll just leave . . .
RULES OF NATURE
RULES OF NATUUURREEEE!
+RespawningJesus dafuq?
AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
+Chu E. WITH THEIR LIFES ON THE LINE
That double jump though.
I've been so into cyber-ninjas lately, this is too cool. Great voice acting too.
please add the voice line on death
"at least i died fighting for what i believed in"
Getting both a Raiden, Grey Fox and Zero (from Borderlands 2) vibe from this guy. Cheezy ninja character, but I love it :D
I can already see all the gameplay montages with this guy and "Rules of Nature" in the background :D
Excalibur
Hikou
Dragon Nikana
I'm ready to pretend to play overwatch (since I didn't get in).
+TheEvisgod Yeah I think I'm gunna do that aswell...
+StormyCloudy I'M BUYING IT GUYS!
+TheEvisgod everytime you use exalted blade just type in all caps (Bonus points for shouting in the mic)Ryuu gekiken!
+TheEvisgod This is correct.
+TheEvisgod lol
Reminds me of Zer0 from Blands 2.
And Raiden from Metal Gear Rising.
+Thorogrimm Reminds you of characters that use swords like that*
Scooterbotshow101 It's because of his abilities and appearance.
Yeah I got that, I was joking
+Thorogrimm Warframe? No? Okay.
+Thorogrimm its master yi
Really like his voice actor, fits perfectly
Just like every other Overwatch character
and im back here 5 years later how far he has fallen :(
My boy genji has come a long way from buffs to nerfs
you finally release the character eveyone was most anticipating while announcing the price and that it wouldn't be available for mac. Smart
8 second blade 😍
And it did 150 dmg too. Genji was op asf.
When you know your opponent controls a dragon, you run unless it's genji then you can't run away.
you're that ninja...
THERE WILL BE BLOOD! SHED! THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD!
Is it just me or is it really cool when genii puts his dragonblade away
I wasn't sure if I wanted to play this game but now I'm sold.
Player 1: "Hey guys I know Genji's cool but we can't have a full team of Genji's. Could someone switch?"
Player 2: "Why don't you switch?"
Player 1: "..... No..."
*2017/2018?*
1:05 who remembers when genji used to say this
I wonder if the reflect works on your own team's projectiles too. They said at Blizzcon that it redirects fire in the direction that Genji is looking, so imagine the strategy of having a Genji face a bunch of opposition while two friendly Widowmakers from around the corner blast shots into Genji's reflect. Epic team-play possibilities.
Bring back the old genji.
Watchframe
0:04 "Me ish the tenno"
Man i'm hyped for this game. :D
So, Hanzo's brother. Can't wait to see more background stories of overwatch.
Genji is bae
Rules of nature starts playing.
This is what ive been waiting for in Overwatch, a character that is a melee character but With good abilities so that he can roam fairly well on the Battlefield.I fear turrets will be his biggest Counter and will probably mostly be played in defense mode as he can take out wounded single targets that are attacking.This will without a doubt be my main. just because i love playing melee vs ranged. not to brag or anything but i feel like it demands more of my skills and gameplay than aranged target
apparently genji's deflect can deflect an enemy genji's shuriken, along with other shots. and when the both side activate deflect while people shoot at them, it escalates into some kind of super ninja jedi battle thingy.
Look how they massacred my boy
Does his sword not apply dot anymore?
No but the dash does more damage
+Wolfdude 11 I'm confused did the nerf ninja dash or something ?
+Hamza Sheraz Yeah. It did a DoT effect, but they nerfed/buffed it. It doesn't do DoT but increased the damage.
remove for buff their dash resets
Good to see someone at blizzard enjoys playing Warframe.
Great, now we can feel like Grineer dying in droves to Exalted Blade spam.
+Jerome Lee Dat Nikana Prime though
Excalibur skin confirmed
Excalibur vs Genji animation?
(Would be over in like 2 seconds tops, one swing of EB should cut this cyborg ninja cosplayer in half)
Anyone know if his shift ability gets stronger while he's in ult mode? When he used it 3 times at the end of the vid it looked like it did more damage than in the initial demonstration.
R.I.P 10 sec ult
Brad 6
i wish swift strike was like that...
Skeptical fry the ability was like that in beta but got scrapped as it was over-powered
Homie Doge yeah I'm pretty sure he was extremely op in the beta wasn't he?
OMG i will main this guy when over watch goes live cant wait to try in beta
Alright so who's the three new characters:
Ice Climber #2
Mecha Samus
Japanese Raiden
Yeah I think those check out
I wish Blizzard would release this Music that is being played in the video
So how does melee work in this game, I don't think it's a bound key, so do you just melee by using mouse 1 near an enemy?
He looks like he will be massive fun to play with!!!!! I can't wait to try all the heroes out and find which one suits me best!!!!! HYPE
his ult voiceline used to be so badd lmaoo
Bro that old is better than 2016 (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞
Excalibur?! is that you? hod did you made it into overwatch?! :O
EXALTED BLADE
Radial javelin :D
I honestly thought I was the only one who thought that lmao
for anyone wondering, he says "I may sacrifice my body, but I will never sacrifice my honor" or something along those lines.
Wow, Genji knew how to make you bleed.
Oh this guy talk Japanese a lot! if you don't mind my horrible translations.
0:05"身を捨てても、冥利は捨てず(I may be lost my body, but I did not throw my providence(or "honor"?) away)"
1:06"龍撃剣！(yeah, i don't think it needs translation)"
1:15"龍のように流れ(Flow like a dragon)(and i guess it may be gets better pronounce like)"
1:31"上等だ！(Bring it!)"
1:49"俺は勝てた/俺は糧だ(Sorry I couldn't hear perfect but it could be"I won" or "I'm nourishment")"
+TheMasuyamiso and I don't think 冥利 means "Honor", it's like a "Happiness from nowhere for one's deed". So, 名誉(Mei yo) or 誉れ(Homare) could probably takes the place.
At 0:34... Am I just a pervert or....
+YuYu Ninja raped Tracer lol
+YuYu Yes you're just a pervert
+YuYu me and you man we both heard what we heard.....
Thanks, now I can't forget it ._.
0:34 ...seems like rule 34... Get it?
Tracer's little "bleed" voice clip can definitely be heard as something else...
SUGOI!
1:05 i have no idea what he just said but it sound cool
that parry skill look so OP... love it!
OP Juan :)
I think we should nerf genji
Obviously Hanzo's brother.
+Acolyptor Lel sry, I didn't read the character description before I watched this.
You definitely got *play of the game*
I wish you guys would tell us how much dmg each attack does in these.
Raiden?
+Ish That's actually what everyone think of when they see him in the trailer 1 year ago.
The only Raiden vibe I'm getting from this is that they both brandish a sword and they're Cyborg Ninjas.
+Michael Rinaldi RULES OF NATURE
+CeloxUmbra I'm sort of getting a mix of Excalibur from Warframe and Raiden from Metal Gear.
+The_Pariah RULES OF NATURE
A black/blue or white/blue version of Genji and you've sold me for the entire game.
WHEN YOU USE genji ultimate ability, do you have to press any button after that or will it automatically hit the opponent when your close by?
Andrew Yang TRIGGERED OFCOURSE
Overwatch, why are you so cool?
And now what do you think ?
They should have kept the cut thing for swift strike lel #BUFFGENJI
HE'S HERE
HE'S FINALLY HERE
AND HE'S BEAUTIFUL
what is the name of the music in the background
Can't his special also deflect hanzos special?
nope, if only
Genji's ultimate is purely offensive and cannot deflect anything. However I think you meant to ask if Genji's deflect ability can do that, the answer to which is yes. There are videos of it happening.
It can, I did it earlier but it can only happen before his arrow turns into dragons
It's hard to time
+Electric Baller that's what I ment
coolest character ever
And nerfed 4th time again 'cause people have butthurt about his mobility and dmg.
I don't like overwatch community anymore beacouse they want to nerf Genji all the time. Only rework should help or something, I'm tired of peoples butthurt about him.
I agree with you anyway.
Do you remember when everyone was freaking out over him stopping the rocket with his sword.
wow his abilities look a lot more badass from his perspective than from the outside
I can't believe that this video is already 7 yrs old 🤯🤯
