Overwatch Animated Short: "Dragons" Reaction! 

3:55 Molly: I knew it! Hanzo: You know nothing of what happened. lol

In Blizzard games, 'good' and 'evil' are not always easily defined.

Mercy saved Genji's life and Zenyatta saved his soul; helped him accept that he is half robot.

The Shimada Clan is a Japanese crime organization. Hanzo being the eldest of the two was set to succeed in being clan leader. Genji cared nothing for the clan and spent his time enjoying life. The clan gave Hanzo his last test to succeed, kill his brother which he did. Genji miraculously survived long enough for Overwatch to find him and he was saved from death thanks to Dr. Angela Ziegler codename Mercy. Afterwards he worked with Overwatch specifically in their Blackwatch division. Blackwatch specialized in covert ops and assassination. He was sent to kill his own brother because only a select few can control the Spirit Dragons and Overwatch considered Hanzo to be to much of a threat. Genji instead disappeared into the Himalayan mountains and met a wise Omnic monk named Zenyatta. Zen helped Genji to find peace with who and what he was, half man and half machine. And that covers backstory I believe! Also, Recall, Alive and Dragons take place on the actual maps that we play in the game. Pretty neat!

On the question which of them is good and which is evil: Think of Hanzo as a "morally grey" character. He was the member of a criminal organization, but he has honor with no doubt. Genji on the other hand is one of the "goodest" characters in a way. He was trained to fight for harmony and peace.

Hanzo isn't really a bad guy just very troubled and guilt ridden over what he did to Genji. Genji was consumed by vengeance when he was rebuilt as a cyborg. When his family was taken down by Overwatch, Hanzo had already left and Genji was left with his anger and revulsion over his new form. Leaving Overwatch, he traveled around the world, eventually meeting the Omnic monk Zenyatta, who taught him that he was still human and gave Genji the strength to forgive Hanzo.

Genji is half human half omnic. After Hanzo tried to kill Genji, he barely survived. (I don't know how exactly) Overwatch found him in that state and the doctor Angela Ziegler (Mercy) save him from death. And from that moment he worked with Overwatch. That's all that I know haha. This trailer is my favorite, it's so beautiful :'D. I loved the reaction!

It's a sparrow feather, because Genji's nickname used to be sparrow I see the other questions have been answered so I'll leave it to the others

The healer "Mercy" (Angela Ziegler) saved Genji from death. She made him a cyborg.

So my boy Genji is an Overwatch agent while his brother is just a mercenary. If you remember, Genji is shown alongside Winston and Tracer on one of Winston's photos in the Recall cinematic!

This is probably my favourite of the Overwatch trailers. It tells such a good story.

This was honestly my favorite short and I'm glad to see you enjoy these! The lore of overwatch is actually super interesting, so you should look into it more (there are videos about it). I don't feel like I can answer your questions since I'm kinda confused myself but I'm sure others will know 😄

Hi Molly! I'm very glad that I found your channel, you're so sweet and see my favorite things

One of the cool things about this game is these scenes take place in maps that you can play. This is Hanamura and even though that map type is a pain it really is beautiful.

the reason why he has the feather its because genji nickname was sparrow because his speed when he slash at the ending his speed is just like a sparrow so thats why his nickname was sparrow and the feather is a feather of a sparrow

genji was lost, found himself and came back to save his brothers soul too

Genji is the "good guy". Their clan, the Shimada ninja clan, ran various illegal things. Early on, this didn't bother Genji. The youngest son of the clan's leader, he led a playboy lifestyle. Although he did pay attention to his ninja training. When their father died, Hanzo was instructed by the clan to straighten out Genji, so they may rule the clan together. Genji refused. Things got heated, and a fight broke out. It was then that Hanzo thought he killed Genji. Hanzo, broken by what he had done, never took his father's place. He left the clan, effectively betraying them. Genji was rescued by Overwatch. And with the help of one Dr Angela Ziegler (Mercy), he was saved and turned into a cyborg. He then set out to dismantle his family's criminal operations. We assume, successfully. After that, he left Overwatch, his mission with them done. But he wasn't the Genji seen here, he was still at war with himself. His machine parts repulsed him. After many wanderings he eventually came across an Omnic monk, Zenyatta (one of the characters in game. Briefly seen in the Alive trailer. He has three glowing dots on his head.) With help from the monk, he was eventually able to reconcile his existence as both man and machine.

"I loved tracer, she's probably like my favorite one" Yeah, She's my favorite, too. She's fun. Thank you for reaction. I hope you have a great weekend.

There has been talks about a possible TV show but nothing confirmed yet. The world of Overwatch is rich with lore, a show would be perfect

Finally someone who noticed ginji at the beginning.

4:46 "this guy sems unstoppable" Briguitte: Hello there.

Nuuuuu! I am literally just getting off break! I gotta wait four and a half more hours now? Welp, at least I know I have something to look forward to after work! Love the channel, Molly, and your pure and amazing reactions!

Also the feather is a Sparrow's feather and it represents Genji, he even has a skin in game when he wasnt a cyborg yet and the name is Sparrow.

ayyyy first for once!!! great timing too!!! just finished my cosplay for anime expo this weekend RN :D

Their father nicknamed Genji "Sparrow" as a kid, and those were sparrow feathers. Here is how one of the game skins showing how he looked right after his cyberization: res.cloudinary.com/lmn/image/upload/c_limit,h_360,w_640/e_sharpen:100/f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto/v1/gameskinnyc/u/p/r/uprising-genji-4a5f1.png There are skins for each brother as young men. The sword in the shrine was the one Hanzo used in the duel. In his grief, he choose to not use a sword again, and soon thereafter he turned on the clan himself. Genji is good, especially after finding his balance. Hanzo is gray, but drifting towards good.

Your reaction was so genuine and awesome! Haha

Hanzo: Is part of a mafia-like organization and kills his own brother in cold blood. Molly: So is he the good one?

This would make an epic movie 🍿

things aren't always as simple as good and evil

Best reaction for this short movie, thanks for sharing it with us, have a nice day :)

As most of the other questions have been answered, namely that Genji is with Overwatch and Hanzo his is brother. The question of good or evil though is up to the viewers interpretation. Throughout the trailers you have seen so far, we've been lead to believe that Overwatch are indeed heroes...and yet, Winston was reminded that Overwatch was disbanded and their activities deemed illegal. Makes you wonder what happened yeah, and now Genji as appeared to remind his brother of his duty, the plot thickens, LOL

I'm so glad you finally reacted to this one! I said it before, I'll say it again, this is my favorite (and the first one I had seen!) Hanzo and Genji are some of my favorite characters, probably because I was introduced to Overwatch through them haha... I think other people probably already explained, but Genji is a cyborg so he's part human part robot? He also has a teacher who's an omnic ! I don't believe he's in any of the animated videos, but if you looked up Zenyatta from Overwatch, thats who Genji's teacher is. I don't know everything but from my understanding he helped him find peace when he became a cyborg?? I really love him too, all the characters are so good. (Sorry this turned into a sort of ramble, I just really love these characters)

For a bit more backstory Genji was called the Sparrow, hence the feather.

Lemme explain the lore behind the cinematic: hanzo and genji lived a very different life in their youth( hanzo almost only trained and genji lived a playboy live) the clan's elders wanted genji to be abandoned or killed but his father sojiro kept protecting him till he died. After that the clan's elders told hanzo to kill genji (which he actually almost did) after their fight was over genji was found barely living by mercy aka Dr. Angela Ziegler (overwatch's chief medic) she told him she would heal him if he'd agree to smash the Shimada clan (because the clan is a drug dealer organisation) genji agreed. After he helped destroying the clan genji started to hate his robotic body and wandered through the world in search of peace till he met the omnic monk zenyatta. Zenyatta invited him to come to the shambali temple so he could help him finding peace with his robotic body. At first genji declined but zenyatta didn't give up till genji has made peace with himself. Zenyatta then told him he should visit his brother to make peace and to forgive him. Basically that's the story behind the cinematic. Fact : hanzo was a very good fighter with the sword (way better than genji) in their fight they both used a sword. After hanzo thought he had killed genji he swore he would never use a sword again. (the swords he kneels in front of at the beginning are his swords). Hope I helped

Hanzo walks a path of self loathing and redemption. This makes some sense because not only did he have to kill his own little brother, but he was going to be the new head of a clan of assassins. After killing Genji in the worst way possible he left the clan out of shame and disgrace. He now wonders the world seeking redemption. Genji didn't die, but he sure was about to. Being a natural badass he held out long enough to be saved by Overwatch, got fitted with a new cyborg body, and agreed to join their ranks in order to take the shimada clan down for good, but after that he's left with the conundrum of still being a monstrosity of equal parts man and machine. He wandered the world in hopes of finding a reason to live.... Safe to say he found it and now we are brought up to speed with this thing. As for how Genji found it, well he found it in Robot Jesus. Yes. That is a thing. lol

besides the three left, there are also little lore videos that give some more story for a couple characters, such as soldier, sombra, ana and orisa. as well as one on the junkers. as for genji, once more, the overwatch site which includes a number of free canon comics would be good to check out

Ahhhh I love this one it's my second fav Oh and if you go on the overwatch website I think there are character bio that tell more about the characters and their backstories. So if you're curious you can look at those.

Genji's eyes were only dark because of the lighting. It was a cinematic choice by the directors.

Ur laugh is so pure

There is no good or bad. It was one brother telling the other that he forgives him for killing him and that he needs to forgive himself. He even though he doesn't believe in himself his brother does. People live with their sins and feel like they are bad and don't deserve good things. But time heals all and the ultimate form of forgiveness is that which you give yourself.

At the moment of the dragon arrow, I fangirled with you.

Great video Molly! You're reaction was awesome when you realized they were brothers. Keep up the great work

LOL its 4:21 am where i live right now. Going on vacation tomorrow. Staying up all night so i can sleep during the journey. Good content to pass the time.

Agent Scully reacting to Overwatch.

Genji the good one

i was waiting for this 1 for so long

Genji working with Gul'dan, thats why hes still alive and have a "green" power. since that, Genji cannot die, unless someone kill him in Twisting Nether.

Your probz not gonna read this but the narrator of the story is both hanzo and genjis father and the story he told is not the story between hanzo and genji

Only a bobby shmurda can control the dragoons

genji almost died but got revived by mercy then met zanyatta taught him of the value of life, he tried to teach hanzo that lesson by coming to him

Good and Evil are for the religious, everyone is good and evil.

probably the whole video I was saying, "He is not the dragon!"

My first time watching this, I had goosebumps. It was great!

Molly:this guy seem unstopabble Me:He is

Awesome reaction! ^_^ You should also watch the "We are Overwatch" cinematic trailer. There's no story in it, but it will introduce you to more characters that don't show up in the other shorts.

Don't worry, loves, cavalry's here! XD

Everyone lost their minds when in the teaser Genji called Hanzo "brother" the reaction is on RU-vid. "Overwatch gameplay teaser" I was one of the ones that lost it too 🤗

I recommend watching "Honor and Glory" as soon as possible.

They are both good

Genji is Part of overwatch team

Genji (cyborg ninja)=good, Hanzo (archer)=troubled mafia leader who suposedly killed his brother, he is at the edge between good an evil.

They both good

You really need to watch the gameplay trailers they were released after the original cinematic trailer

Love it!

omg,that was a good reaction. like

Your reactions were funny. XD

The brothers are both good.... in way. Hanzo is the older brother to Genji. He was ordered by the head of the family, to deal with his younger brother not taking the(shady) family business seriously. A fight broke out and Hanzo killed his brother. Or so he thought. Genji was found by (still active at the time) Overwatch personal, saved by Dr. Angela Ziegler(Mercy) and was given the choice to work for them as one of their "Off the books" operatives. After Overwatch was shut down, Genji spent a long time wondering the world, disliking what he had become(a cyborg). One day he ran into one of those omnic monks. Who enlightened him to accept who he is. With Winston's recall of Overwatch operatives, he has went to seek out his older brother and tell him that he too can find purpose in a world that is changing. You seen how that went.

Both genji and hanzo used to be apart of this gang organization in Japan called the "shimada clan",one day,Hanzo and genji had a chance to become the leader of the shimada clan,Hanzo wanted Genji to become the leader,genji refused,which caused Hanzo to kill genji in a brutal battle(not this one),after that,Hanzo left the Shimada clan in grief that he has killed his own brother,but Genji didn't die,he was brutally injured,but was saved by Overwatch,they saved him and gave him the cyborg,NOT OMNIC,body,he then set on a journey to find peace for his new cypernetic body,later on,he went back to Hanamura(which is where The Shimada clan was at),and found Hanzo to to make this cinematic a thing. There is no clear statement on who is Bad and who is good. The tales that was read in the background was a story of their father,that basically tells the story of this cinematic too. The feather is shown because it is a feather of a sparrow,genji had a nickname when he was still living normally with his brother,given to him by his father,which was "Sparrow". After this,Hanzo still had grief and still tries to believe that Genji is dead. Hanzo and Genji both have the power to control the dragons,Hanzo has the "dragon of the south",and Genji had the "dragon of the north". Oh and Hanzo "killed" Genji with a sword,and from that day on,he sworn to never pick up a blade ever again,as it seems that he is better with a sword then Genji. When Genji put the blade at Hanzo's neck,it reminded him about how Hanzo killed Genji,because Hanzo beheaded Genji(it's just a theory though so it isn't proven true). I should stop doing this

They are both good. Hanzo is proud and arrogant which makes him seem bad.

Genji has dragon eyes.

If you want answers to any overwatch characters backgrounds, then visit the overwatch site and read the character bios. Please do this at your leisure after you react to all the shorts that are available.

Boo yeah! Uploaded on my birthday

Genji is a cyborg not a robot or a human.

Blizzard gaming made the movie Warhammer that came out not to long ago.

ok so thanks to Mercy a charcter in over watch Genji was made into A Cyborg Ninga and was part of the Specal operations Unit of Over watch along with McCree and Reaper i think they were Called Boack watch..? i need to look it up agin XD

popular misconception most people think that hanzo and genji where dragon and turned human but that story just inspired them the members of the shimada clan arent dragons but they can control the spirits of dragons as it is the shimada clans sprirt animal because if they where dragons why should they fighting as humans arent dragons usally stronger that us do you think you can beat a dragon?

73rd comment yeah! your growing so fast gurl

there both good

There both good

Daddyofives daughter grew up

Just wondering... do you even play overwatch?

Why dose she think that genji is a omnic

Genji can deflect hanzo ultimate

she totally not a year late or anything !

If you are open to suggestions, may I ask you react to the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm cinematic trailer? The game itself was disappointing to be polite, but as it is a Blizzard game the trailer is epic.

Have you seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog? Because if not, you need to react to it.

5:15 omg she sound like a ballon be unflated lol

Also FIRST time I have ever been FIRST! XD

When I heard Genji say "pick a side" I thought of Twix xD

Genji is good , hanzo will turn to the good sise

I'm throwing

LOL. Is the guy who killed his own brother the good or bad guy?

I like a ****ing Hanzo.

Gamers dont die they get revivt

5:20 wtf is that sound xDDDD

Volume level of the Blizz video is too low.

Genji is good Hanzo is kinda bad

Omnic *facepalm* it's a syborg

Genji is good and hanzo is on both sides. Also Mercy saved Genij from death.
