Overwatch Fan Reacts to VALORANT Cinematics & Agents 

"His greatest weapon is his credit card" Best lines of the intro xD

Phoenix - United Kingdom Jett - Korea Reyna - Mexico Raze - Brazil Sage - China Brimstone & Viper - America Yoru - Japan Cypher - Morocco Breach - Sweden Sova - Russia Skye - Australia Neon - Philippines Astra - Ghana Killjoy - Germany Chamber - France Fade - Turkey KAY/O & Omen - Unknown

you mentioned sombra but actually the one with the rocket launcher Raze has her same voice actor haha

The lore may not seem deep but it is, filled with theories and fantasies by fans who takes the informations out of the valorant videos + the game itself. The game has lots of lore/easter egg as well as each voice lines of agents filling in the story. It's actually dope.

Jett: Airbender Phoenix: Arson Omen: Shadows Cypher: Cameras and stuff Raze: Terrorism Neon: Lightning Brimstone: Just a soldier Viper: Acid Killjoy: Cyphers stuff Sage: Resurrection Sova: Bow and Arrow Chamber: rich

Raze also has a cinematic that wasn't included in this reaction. I personally love it as a Raze main and highly recommend watching it.

Similar to you, I instantly resonated with Phoenix and was immediately interested. I didn't actually pick up the game till I watched the esport which looked really fun and now I'm invested

The 15'23" on last jett animation was her new time. She was running to see how fast she becomes after training, you could see her reflection in glass that was slower than her. It was her old time record. Edit: also if you look closely, after she crosses the line, she clicks something on her watch, I believe it's timer (stopwatch, etc.)

I just love your reactions especially when you really seem interested! makes me remember the day I started playing any of riot's game as well

my favorite agent is Omen and his lore is so mysterious and i love it. There are speculation that Omen knew Viper while he was still human.

"his greatest weapon is his credit card" 😂😂😂 KIERAN

I like how chat couldn't wait 2 minutes for him to watch the cinematic. Just had to spoil it when he's just asking questions to himself.

Allow me to summerize the valorant lore since i can't do it fast enough on twitch chat. If you consider this spoilers, I'll delete it right away. Around 10 years before the incident the Venice in the Duelists video, a mysterious event called the First Light occured and spanned around the Globe. Gifted individuals are chosen randomly and are called Radiants, those who can use special abilities. Radianite is the new resource of many things such as electricity and technology supported by radianites is super advanced. Kingdom, a big company that works in many branches, they do research on how to harness, to fully exploit the power of radianite. They provide 3 quarters of energy the world uses after successfully harness this new resource. They began the valorant protocol and recruit numerous agents (Radiants and non-Radiants) in this order: Brimstone, Viper and Omen are the earliest members in the group, 4.Killjoy, 5. Cypher, 6.Sova, 7.Sage, 9.Phoenix, 10.Jett, 11.Reyna, 12.Raze, 13.Breach, 14.Skye, 15.Yoru, 16.Astra, 17.Kay/O, 18.Chamber, 19.Neon. Agent number 8 is either missing or gone rogue or on an undercover mission. In the Warm Up cinematic, next to Phoenix's locker (the number 9 locker), you can see the number 8 on the locker scratched off. The VALORANT protocol has the duty to protect people from incidents related to radianite. Times later, the amount of radianite on Earth 2 decreaswd heavily and they planned on stealing radianite from Earth 1 using a device called the spike, thus the war between 2 Earths began. Phoenix's backstory is that when he first discovered his abilities, his flames suddenly went out of control, burning his school, idk if there were any injuries but the incident got reported on the news but soon covered up by Kingdom, thus Phoenix is recruited to VALORANT. About Chamber, rather fighting against himself from Earth 2 like the other agents, he worked with himself against Kingdom in both Earths. Together they destroyed the same research lab belongs to Kingdom from 2 Earths and cause a portal between 2 worlds and its called Fracture, a playable map in the game and also the newest. This incident led to the deaths of many scientists and heavy property damage to Kingdom but Chamber refuses being the culprit (the funny part is that he doesn't even make it convincing). About Kay/O, he is neither from Earth 1 nor 2, he is from Earth 3 and has close connections to non-Radiant agents, especially Brim and Sova. In this Earth, X-Men stuff happens. After the Venice incident, people reacted to Radiants in a more agressive way, they began seeing Radiants as threats and dangerous individuals. Sick of this discrimination, Reyna, who is Magneto of this war, thinks that Radiants are the new era of mankind, she lead a big group of Radiants and started a war. VALORANT agents that are comrades in other world, became enemies in this world. Kingdom created Kay/O, in order to fight against Radiants. Kay/O managed to kill "the Queen" (thats how he calls Reyna) but sacrifices are inevitable, many of his comrades died. After that, since this Earth is unstable, a portal opened and he was dragged to Earth 1, reunited with his comrades and former enemies, he fights for the cause of Earth 1 and hopes to find a way to go home. I think that is it, based on my knowledge, if u guys know more, i hope u guys would share it to me.

The whole "Parallel universes" lore thing for Valorant is pretty fire, most games don't ever bother explaining why two people in different teams can pick the same character and kill each other, and I get why, it's really not needed at all, but the fact that Riot decided to explain it here and make it a key part of the story, it opens for many cool details in the maps you play in, and the different character interactions. It makes it a lot more fun

I'd say Valorant's lore is as deep as if not deeper than LoL. These cinematics are just part of the lore and much more can be found ingame with voicelines and interactive elements(though that arc has been finished)

quick lore recap: agents with supernatural powers are radiants. they came in contact with radianite at some point and got their powers. Earth is in war with itself because Earth 2 is trying to steal Earth 1's radianite. Kayo is from the future and was Brim's best friend until he died in action (as a soldier) so they made him a robo body. Reyna has a little sister that died at some point (and she blames killjoy for it) Chamber is a weapon's salesman who is the only agent to ever work peacefully with his Earth 2 double (he got rich from selling guns to both Earths so thats why he always dressed nicely). Cypher lost his family so he asking Sage to revive them. Omen was a human but something bad happen and sage res worked halfway so he kinda a zombie. Phoenix burned his college down the day he got his powers on accident ( prob got his masters degree for burning it). Jett caused a hurricane in the city she was working. Neon just fast as f. Yoru is very toxic (no joke). Viper is pyscho. Raze just wants to explode stuff and kinda vibes a lot. Sova came in contact with his Earth 2 self while on a recon mission and he apparently let his Earth 2 double live (he the only person to go through a rift).

The last one "Can't Slow Me Down" is a track made for Jett with korean hip-hop artists, and the animated video is about Jett's vacation to her hometown Seoul, Korea and showing her daily life :D

Ahhhh the nostalgia rewatching these… all those memories when they just came out, the hype.. man valorant has changed so much

basically in the valorant universe theres a material called radianite a powerful material which is basically condensed energy . on an event called ignition there was an accident in a facility that manages radianite distribution . the facility ,(kingdom) had alot of leaking ionized radianite which ended up not only creating radiants aka people with superpowers but also had enough energy to create a rift through another universe . in the other universe there is almost no energy and a severe lack of radianite but has immensely advanced technology. the two worlds first agree to share their raidianite but chamber and his clone from the second earth are weapons dealers and decide to sabotage the facility that distributes radianite across different worlds while making it look like the other world did it . he does this so the other worlds go to war and chamber can profit over the war. so the world with almost no radianite aka the attackers attempts to steal all the radianite meanwhile the the defenders try to protect their radianite to prevent there world from becoming a desolate , energy less planet

In the music video the Brimstone (the one with the hat) scene shows how much pressure Brimstone puts on himself since hes the leader and the oldest of all the agents and he always tries to take lead The people are supposed to be us players helping out or something Phoenixs thing is showing how his confidence ruins his plans sometimes Sage (shes the healer) it shows how she tries to heal everything and how it harms herself sometimes or something

10:16 I just now realized that Yoru has some text behind him but a bit hidden unlike other trailers which had their text in big sizes and in red, which is SUPER fitting cuz he's known to be the sneaky agent. Love the little details.

im a regular val player and seeing you jump into this with excitement makes me very happy BTW: this is the first video that i watched on ur channel and i already subbed

if you where wondering where their abilities came from, most of them where either born with them like Yoru, Jett, sage, Phoenix, Astra, Neon, and Skye. There are also people that gain there abilities from technology like Sova, Raze, Kay-o, Cypher, Killjoy, Breach, Brimstone, Chamber, and Viper. There are also handful of people that get their abilities later on via an accident or coincidence like Reyna and Omen

Valorant is the game for the moment. It is very hard though, especially for those who are not familiar with hardcore shooters.

19:44 your expression is priceless

The Kaiba reference got me so hard hahaha u get a sub mate🤣🤣

there are 4 types of agents: controllers, initiators, duelists, and sentinels Controllers like Astra and Omen, often control aspects of the game or controls how people play Initiators like Sova and Kay-o start the battle with a scan or debuff Duelists like Reyna and Neon, thrive in fights through movement, debuffs, or survivability Sentinels like Killjoy and Sage, are the support for healing or gathering information

actually the best reaction video i've seen. keep up the work brah

I'm a little late to this video but if you want to understand the agents in-game, I recommend watching Gregor's How-To Videos on the agents. They are really good for basic understanding of the agents

i loved these reactions. when i first got into valorant. i watched ALL of these cinematics. Had very similar reactions to you

Your reactions to these are so good! I used to play overwatch a lot too and valo is more fun imo ☺️

Chats going crazy with MOMMY VIPER

He's Awesome, so is this Animation 😍

I thought it was really cool watching you figure things out about the lore just walking into it completely blind on how the game works, I really enjoyed watching this video

On warm up cinematic when you said Phoenix and Jett doing teamwork for the first time, the duelist cinematic actually shows the mirror Jett

I love these reactions bro!!ur really funny to watch 😂😂😂

I love how real the characters are; like they would be humans The voicelines and how they act.... Especially the german character and the german voiceline while the scene with the "bomb" That was so cool to see ngl

The 15'23" in the jett video (i found out from googling and this video is 1y+ so it probably doesn't help anymore) is her PB of the run that she was doing. There being other times as well on there being her previous best scores.

one of the best yt videos i have watched in the past 1y

@ChocolateKieran Jett was on poster in Giant video (she very similar to that Akali skin =) but it was Jett 100% as a easter-egg/teaser)

I got a valorant ad at the start and I thought it was part of the video

The voice actress for Jett is Shannon Arum Williams, former Kpop star who was born in the UK. She streams on Twitch and plays valorant a lot.

I love how you can make someone like me who isn’t into Valorant at all low key want to now to know all the lore thanks to your reaction to these trailers

you should play it's less complicated than league and the in-game voicelines are very enjoyable, i play sova the cool archer they didn't give a voice line in the cinematic

Valorant has an amazing storyline, and has a lot of lore, it actually deserves its very own series.

Just stumbled upon the channel man this was a great reaction. Keep up the content I’ll be sure to check the rest of the channel

got recomended me randomly and I luv it

Eu queria que ele tivesse reagido as musicas com a Raze! Adorei o react

“He’s Kaihba his greatest weapon is his credit card!” Bruh your hilarious

raze is my main with the satchel boost and rocket if u do it right it feels amazing the more if you get the ace with rocket second main is viper with awesome lineups of the snake bite the ult smoke area and the globe smoke you can outplay the enemies

A few Easter eggs in the Jett music video I haven’t seen anybody post about: When she’s sky diving in the beginning you can see a few Arcane posters on the big buildings When she’s passing by the glass wall at 47:50 you can see KDA playing in the reflection There’s a part where she has multiple colored lights on her face, much like Jinx in the enemy music video

Was waiting for it!~ ☻🖤

The day we get an Overwatch / Valorant crossover they can have my money.

Omen is most likely Canadian, he died from a radianite explosion and sage could only revive his soul, she couldn't reach his body, he is basically just shadows. Kay/o came from a parallel universe in the future but most likely american, his necklace is the one his old friend brim had when he died, that's what the bullet hole is.

For the champions thing it's a skin in valorant that when u get a headshot on the final person it has a cool animation (not telling u what it looks like)

Phoenix cannot revive himself, but when he uses his ultimate it creates like a spot on the ground, and there is a timer to when you get teleported back to it. While the timer is going, you can play like normal, but if you die or the timer runs out, you get teleported back there. So he basically creates a clone of himself.

People: Valirant copied Overwatch! Overwatch players: That's cool!

bro i loved this video, your vibe is so cool. Earned yourself a new subscriber 😎😎

Loved watching this! I'd love to see Apex cinematics too, they're a bit longer individually but it'd be super cool to see as the lore in Apex is also really cool, great bunch of different personalities aswell

Its actually kinda incredible how he is picking up Valorant so fast like wth. When i started playing Valorant i had no idea was going on

I really like this guy interactions with the chat.

0:17 “omg! he’s kaiyaba, his greatest weapon is his credit card” that got me so good and it makes so much sense

I love how the chat said "mommy" "mommy is back" when Viper appeared lmaoo

I don’t know if this was mentioned at all, but it’s kind of a meme that if Cypher appears in a cinematic, he will be shot

ayy lets goo, finally someone I can relate to. I literally downloaded valorant for phoenix😅

Valorant has DEEP lore, just gotta dig for it So something happened called the ‘bright flash’ or whatever, that put radiante in earth, and also causing the ‘mirrorverse’, which is the second world. The reason why Omen is so dark is because it is speculated that either Omen was a human but he was in the center of the flash event and got torn apart, so when Sage tried to revive him, fragments of him were left, and he lost his memory. The second theory is that Viper tried to experiment on him, and that’s why one of the voice lines of Viper in the game is ‘Sage, don’t fail us now like how you failed me then.’ Because Sage failed to revive Omen, Viper’s friend. Valorant Protocol is Alpha’s Valorant But the other world, Omega, is Valorant Liegon. Alpha is secret, Omega, everyone knows And also, Yoru rips through dimensional rifts, so yeah And another also, Chamber is actually a super big villain. He and his Omega Double blew up a reactor with their ‘tour de Force’ (their snipers) and caused a huge event. The only way chamber was allowed to join the protocol and legion was because both sides rescued their sides brimstone, and brimstone is the commander for both

Dont know you at all. Algorithmic gods brought me there. But as a Valorant player it was funny and refreshing discovering almost 2 years of content x) Love the energy! cheers

You need to React to the Weapon Skins in this game, Almost all Are sick

There will never be agent skins, because the game realise to much on knowing who your up against and what there abilities do so skins will never work as that would make the gamer to confusing as it is still a tactical shoot after all.

Lorewise it’s parallel universe kinda thing. In game, it’s the two teams 5v5 attackers vs defenders. There’s also a raze’s trailer: colour of the town i thinm

Characters gots abylities by the radianite, in the lore, it's a rare material and have weird properties, in game, it's a type of bucks whith a cost of 15$ for 20, it used to upgrade weapon skins (to unlock animations, sounds and things like that)

Cypher is by far the best

i LOVE the way you laugh SOOOO CUTE 😳

Great reaction vid. Im digging ur videos

I saw someone comment on the die for you mv they said that the purpose of it was to show development in the characters like brimstone realizes he doesn't always have to be the one to carry the team and support them and phoenix shouldn't always take the spot light and be greedy which explains why he threw the defuser to sage. and sage's development that she can also like not just be a healer and be strong. I don't want to steal the person's comment so if you want to see the exact thing he/she said try to find it in the comment section of the mv.

i know you're a massive arcane fan but if you want any suggestions the videos for apex legends are also pretty bomb ass

I recommend you to try to main Skye, she's more of a duelist than other duelists. Yoru's pretty cool too, but he's hard to play.

4:34 OMG! You sounded just like him! Hahahaha Awesome!

i think the regular people you see in the Die For You music video, are actually people that are significant in the backstories of the agents they appear with. but i could be wrong, as there's not much to go off of. also, Brimstones VA is also Dempsey from Black Ops Zombies, which I think is cool

Played overwatch for over 4 years and made the decision to switch to valorant. Love the game but the skins take all my money.

I think it time to react to all valorant valorant skins and skins trailers Kappa

that music actually is in the game theres a certain skin when you get last kill that that song plays the animation is like crumbling to dust

Love your reacts!!

in canon theres only two ships, raze and killjoy are dating (canonically) and then pheonix and jett flirt with eachother in game, brimstone has a no-dating rule but those 4 dont listen

Hellô Kieran 😁 love your reactions, so enthusiastic! I recommend you to watch SirJeppy's videos about lore, he explains really well all the agents stories and there is a war comming! Check it out 👍

Liked as soon as you mentioned the Kaiba's credit card superpowers in the intro.

2:02 I was only thinking of west jetts intro there I was waiting for the bababooey lol thats the only way I can remember it now

Btw Valorant is happening in the future according to the lore is there also some radianite is so unstable you need to store them in boxes on icebox and other maps radianite gives powers to the agents to use their abilities which they found after the big light out (Omen kinda died but sage healed him up again so he could live) Yoru's mask is filled with radianite and its very old

The whole anime animation was also a little hint to new skins that were gonna come out. The skins have kill banners and sounds, end kill animations. The giant black hole was one of the end kill animations

Raze have 2 videos too, but 1 is only in "Valorant Brazil" chanel for now

ps the radiates they r called were exposed to large amounts of radionte which is used 4 power but is also super radioactive

i would LOVE a series like arcane but for valorant, like maybe set in the alternate world kay o is from or something, so it doesn't impact what happens in the game, but even if it was just set in normal valorant lore it would be epic, like in the first cinematic with jett and pheonix just looking at that chase scene was insane!

The brimstone voice actor (the one you said sounded familiar) has played a ton of characters, like Zabuza and Orochimaru from Naruto, Dempsey from COD, and Wolverine from some animated Marvel shows.

39:50 I would *love* if they made an acc TV show about this game lol - all the cinematic trailers are *so* good.

I love neon and zeri, also they share the same VA and were released together, neon and the VA for her are from the Philippines, and zeri isn’t from there cuz runeterra is different but she is basically the same thing

First time watching you and after the Video it just didnt felt like i was sitting 50 min watching you.You know what they say, time passes by faster when you have fun. subbed ✅

ive been playing valorant for a little while but ive only watched a few of the trailers/cinematics so it was nice binge watching the rest with hype reactions 23:44 i dont see this video on the uncut channel tho i wonder if it was deleted

20:18 you can tell, because if you shoot them, they wont die if they are on your team

great video man! great reaction
