Fun fact, the reason she loves doughnuts is because in Japanese folklore, a Kitsune (Fox Spirit) who possesses a girl in particular, tends to make them crave sweets. : )
Wait so is she from a branch family of the Shimada Clan then? Generally those types of studies are done in-clan traditionally, because of obvious information leak problems otherwise potentially
@@skebaba918 I'm going to say yes. They're at least so close that kiriko has green hair like genji (I assume dyed since in her origin she doesn't), and in game kiriko questions genji about a bowl cut, which he says he did to make HER feel better about having one.
@@skebaba918 I'm pretty sure Kiriko's family was part of the Shimada clan, and thus Kiriko grew up and trained alongside the Shimada brothers. She was closer to Genji than Hanzo, only because he knew to have fun.
@@skebaba918 since the shimadas was a Yakuza clan it makes sense for kirikos family to be a "family" under the clan, since clans usually have different families/subsidiaries under them. This leads me to believe her mom was likely the head/leader of the kiriko family since she's close enough to be training the shimadas brothers (Hanzo and Genji) in which Hanzo was to be the next clan head/leader
@@ontoshere At least from what I've read, she trained with the brothers when she was really young and was closer to Genji because they're both mischievous.
Kiriko: "Yesterday she was playing with crayons....today she's an axe wielding barbarian taking on the yakuza" *sniffs* "She's growing up so fast!!" Grandpa: "Um...I'm not sure that's a normal growth for a chi.." Kiriko: "GROWING UP SO FAST!!" Grandpa: "...uh...ok...sure...it's fine."
Fun fact, the guy with the big pompadour hair wanting to call for back up, is the same guy from Hanzo's Cinematic short who ran into a bell while trying to call for back up there too. Kiriko's short is definitely one of my favorites now, I love her character how she is very friendly and caring but is completely ruthless when it comes to protecting innocent people.
I really want Mr. Pompadour to show up for a 3rd cinematic, still part of the badguys, but have him be super suspicious and nervous the whole time. And as soon as the hero character shows up to stop them, he's like "Nope! NOPE! Not again! I got my face smashed into a BELL! I got kicked in the face! I had a crazy axe girl hurl a hatchet at my head and ruin my hair!! Whatever is about to happen, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!! I QUIT! I'm going back home and help my mom with the grocery store! It's not worth it!!" And just walks off screen, still ranting as he does so. And have the entire gang and hero just kind of freeze, watching him exit stage left in a dramatic flounce. I want to see that so much.
@@vodengc520 Yeah, even continue the joke of him juggling the phone (rule of 3), and have it be him, as he's leaving, pulling out his phone to call his mom to say he's coming home. Depending on the powers of the hero in the cinematic, maybe they even catch the phone for him so he can leave, because they're perfectly fine with him just quitting what he's doing.
@@happyninja42 man when i red that i was just thinking of how the scene would be like and you know what? you couldn't have described it better YOU'RE A GENIUS BLIZZARD PLEASE DON'T PRETEND YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS
I loved the inclusion of having a deaf character in this cinematic. I also love that they chose to have them communicate via Japanese Sign Language vice American Sign Language.
In canon, after the Shimada Clan fell (Hanzo and Genji respectively) the Hashimoto Clan took over the area with an iron fist, Kiriko and her friends decided to band together to fight back to reclaim the area. Also Kiriko's mother was the one to teach Hanzo and Genji swordsmanship when they were younger, so Kiriko knows them.
Fun fact:when kiriko hits the fire extinguisher the song says “look away” and kiriko actually looks away details like these make the cinematic even better
As the song is mostly in japanese, I'm pretty sure it's not "look away" but "doko e" (pronounced: doh-koh-eh) which means "where to ?" if I'm not mistaken.
As someone else said on the original video, "Start a gang war, then leave." LOL It's worth adding that the arches are Kiriko's ultimate in the game and it powers all her allies standing in it (faster shooting, movement, and reload time). As such, the video shows how it empowers even innocent civilians to combat readiness.
In the game her ultimate ability creates a road in front of her with those blue archways, and being on that road makes her teammates move and attack much faster, so I guess it inspires fighting spirit in others even little girls and old janitors xD
Man Kiriko is a fox you don’t want to mess with and her combat was so flawless 😄 also it seems amazing that the song that plays during her dear daredevil fight is catchy with the blows given to the enemy
@@SkullzJoker12 I think you’re right about Kiriko winning because of her Fox spirit, but I think it’d be close, if only because Matt’s the toughest SOB this side of BJ Blazkowicz. They’d definitely shake on it though, both have that honorable nobility about them.
@McHutao To be fair, that is literally her Ultimate in-game; creates a path in front of her, allies following that path get increased movement, attack, and reload speed.
Been there in game as Kiriko, and Genji is such a flanking oriented character that I have to put effort into healing him, meanwhile Hanzo is usually on the point with me. No shame on Genji players, I have a teleport for a reason but I generally don't put effort into healing flankers unless I'm on Discord with them (I'm a trans woman and the default Blizzard voice connection is so absurdly bigoted, not just transphobic, but racist, sexist, and homophobic too)
This channel gives me new insights into my favorite cinematics - you two have a knack for picking up on details I never noticed, like the “mother choosing to give Kiriko the chance to stand on her own” observation.
I've rewatched this cinematic more times in 5 days, than any of the other cinematics in 5 years, I absolutely *_LOVE_* this short! (Crazy how I didn't really care for it at first😅)
Bethany's natural reaction to the wrong being done to the innocent speaks to her heroic spirit. Kiriko was able to deliver what she was feeling! I was able to ride the emotions again alongside you two. FACE KICKING TIME 🦊🥊🍩
I watched all of your other reactions to the Overwatch cinematics a while ago and subscribed because I liked you guys so much, so happy you guys are still doing it.
First, Love you both !! Second, Love your reactions on these cinematics. Third, I absolutely enjoyed watching Bethany's face and reaction during the whole cinematic and espcially at 4:31 , she was so pissed. She wanted to kick that Hashimoto-san's face so hard !!! Once again love you both, and love your reactions.
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS SO MUCHHHHH!!! thank you guys so much for finally reacting to this :) you guys really make my day so much. i’ve been struggling mentally so much but man the positivity you guys bring to your vids are so great. please never stop, i’m so proud to be a what seems to be already a long time subscriber ❤️
ALSO UPDATE ON THIS BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED THE WHOLE VID. YESS PLEASE DO A RANKING OF YOUR FAVORITE CINEMATICS!! that would be so awesome to watch, what’s S tier, what’s F tier 😂 heck yeah!!!!
Sorry to hear you’ve been having tough times lately but glad our videos have been helping stay positive 😊🥳 Happy to have you be a part of the community 🤗😀😎🤟
Na, I am pretty sure he didn't intend to shoot the old man and was in shock he had just shot him. I got the impression the Hashimoto rely more on intimidation than actually being willing to kill people, at least these lackeys.
I rlly love how are u both picking up the little details and talking about them as well as your reactions are so precious ❤. If u wanna dive deeper down into characters and their relationships with each other i recommend to watch Hero interactions.😍 You can find them on YT.Gives a bit of lore too.Kiriko is so fun to play and she is the first support to get her own cinematic. ^^
I feel like having a mom who can use "You do know I have a sword, right?" as an argument probably doesn't lose too many of those xD Also the guy in the mask (which I think is an oni mask) who ends up shooting the grandpa gives of rather strong vibes of being most likely new to the gang he is with, I'd say he is either new or has mostly experienced ppl being pushovers because of the gangs reputation (hence why he repeats the name) and in both of those cases I feel it's probably unlikely that he has ever killed someone before, or at least not by his own hand which is probably why he reacts so strongly too it. It's rather common that ppl in those kinda circumstances can be showing off to appear tough and then when the magnitude of something like that finally sinks in some of them just actually can't cope with it to well. I don't know how it works for japanese street gangs or organized crime but for quite a few of the organized groups that do extortion and money lending stuff the main tactic is that you wanna scare ppl into paying without having to resort to killing them as a dead customer is not gonna be a repeat customer.
This is the character I play most often, I love how they absolutely show off what you can do in the best circumstances. Most of the time you're just throwing out healing scrolls, but I bought the K-Pop skins so I'm mostly throwing out healing Concert Tickets and Disco ball cleansing grenades.
I didn't really think of the horror in his face being from shooting the old man but seeing Kiriko doing supernatural things for the first time. It's after he got shot that she started teleporting around in front of them. But that's a cool aspect that I hadn't thought of
i love the analysis of the bad guy in shock, i think he wouldn't care as much if this was someone who was shooting back at him but it was a unarmed innocent person he just wanted to threaten for information
Definitely and definitive on my top 3 as well! I absolutely loved it! The was heartfelt, epic, funny AND hilarious! Def a good make up from the Junker Queen one which was a bit underwhelming. Amaazing Also fun fact. Kiriko's mom trained both Hanzo and Genji (from the dragons cinematic) as well. Top 3 cinematics for me at this time is 1. Dragons 2. Kiriko 3. Reinhardt (honorable mention would be Bastion's cinematic)
Also part of the lore is that the Hashimoto clan was the family that took over Hanamura from the Shimada clan when Hanzo left after thinking that he killed Genji when ordered by the elders after Genji refused to become an assassin for the Shimada clan. So there is a chance that the Hashimoto will have a character that will appear in Overwatch 2 as either a playable character or part of the PvE experience when that launches.
Despite the fact that the launch of the game has been abysmal, and the business practices just scream greedy executives have their hands all over the game. I've been enjoying the actual gameplay changes of Overwatch 2 SO much. Kiriko is absolutely my favorite support character to play, and has gotten me more into the role then any other hero. She's such a good mix of being a great support character when the team needs her and a decent DPS character to get some sneaky picks when they don't need the healing. Her gameplay of being able to teleport around the map is so satisfying when getting out of bad situations or going in deep with your team to help clean up the enemy team. Kiriko, Junker Queen, and Sojourn have all knocked it out of the park with the amount of fun I've had with them easily.
it's probably all been explained really well by now but just in case: kiriko's mum is a great sword fighter she is one of the ppl who taught hanzo and genji when they were young. kiriko also trained with them so they are like family friends they see her as a little sister/niece type figure. kiriko learned to use blades (kunai) from her mum and healing skills from her grandmother. that paper that dissolved into the grandad is a healing charm. the hashimoto are an infamous crime syndicate and rivals to the shimada (dragon brothers family clan). kiriko is also possessed by the kitsune (fox spirit). the fox spirit is essentially like the gate keeper to the spirit world/underworld almost like a cross between the grim reaper and spirit of vengeance. at the end she summons the torri gates (spirit gates) and forms that path which channels spirit energy. any ally on that path also channels energy hence why the kid and grandad got braver and stronger. the western equivalent would be the grim reaper summoning phantoms to chase u... terrifying. oh and ppl possessed by the kitsune in ancient lore are said to have an insatiable sweet tooth hence the doughnuts more beautiful rich overwatch lore 😃
Not sure if you recognize, but the gangster with the pompadour hairdo was also in a previous Overwatch cinematic, “Dragons”. He was the goof that ran into the giant bell in a panic when his phone was shot out of his hand by Hanzo. Guy just couldn’t catch a break. Not that he deserved one… 😂
Kiriko is fun to play. Don’t think I’m getting the best out of her yet but dropping kitsune rush on that final push to complete the objective is immensely satisfying.
Remember - the Fox spirit can block bullets *and* balance your bloodsugar! All-purpose spirit! Donuts are totally fine! (also gotta love the *TERRIFYING* Fox-Spirit-Empowered little deaf girl!)
I absolutely adore Kiriko! They really outdid themselves with her character development. There are a ton of subtleties to her design that are faithful to the folklore too. Many people touched base on a lot of those details. If you were confused or just kinda wondering why the girl went absolutely ballistic at the end... Kiriko's ultimate ability is Kitsune Rush. It summons a fox spirit that rushes forward through those gates she summoned and It accelerats the movement, attack speed, and cooldowns of allies that follow its path. This was showing her ult in action!
Kiriko is a support in OW2, she heals through those talismans, like what she gave to the grampa. she attacks by throwing the kunai, and her ultimate is called something like "Path of the Fox Spirit" and that is what she did when the grampa and little girl grabbed a weapon and chased the bullies to the elevator
This was such a great video to watch! I loved that bad guy's line of, "I don't want to get kicked in the face. I'm going to call for backup!" It was just so funny. I doubt those guys will mess with the grampa or the little girl ever again. Lastly, I don't know if you noticed but your green shirt was pretty close to the color of her green hair. Lol!
I dont know if you watched it til the end, but you can see Kiriko hugging the Fox Spirit near the end of the video also fun fact: as you saw, Kiriko can teleport. in game she is a support character and is able to teleport to allies and she can actually teleport through walls as long as an ally is within range.
She is definitely my favorite support now and she is even fun to play. Issue is now she make the other supports feel plain and the cinematic is definitely in my top 3
I like the bad guys weren't all idiots, like the guy who was trying to call for backup, that was likely the smarter call, it wouldn't have helped but he was at least smart enough to know they might be in trouble.
Kiriko's fun to play in the game. Doesn't do all the punching and kicking, but she does throw those knives (called kunai) to good effect if they land in the face lol.
Kiriko has a ragtag group called yokai. Kiriko wears a kitsune mask, while others wear masks based on a tanuki, amabie, kappa, kasa-obake, and oni, respectively. Kiriko mom brought the pizza where kiriko brought 3 boxes of donuts
In japanese mythology, fox spirits are a semi equivelant to the grim reaper, and those glowing gates she was summoning are spirit gates, which are like doors to the underworld for the dead. The reason why the criminals might have been "paranormal activity" panicking aside from the violence is because this would be like if the grim reaper showed up and a pit to hell appeared. Like ghost rider
Fun fact, the reason she loves doughnuts is because in Japanese folklore, a Kitsune (Fox Spirit) who possesses a girl in particular, tends to make them crave sweets. : )
huh. cool fact. thanks
Also in the photo with her mom and grandmother @ 8:42, the grandma has her box of doughnuts. 🦊
Cool fun fact! 😀😋
Thank your for this info! I had no idea.
aww 😭😂
Kiriko's mom (Asa) is also Hanzo and Genji's sensei, so seeing her daughter handle business is like a kind of graduation for her.
Wait so is she from a branch family of the Shimada Clan then? Generally those types of studies are done in-clan traditionally, because of obvious information leak problems otherwise potentially

@@ontoshere At least from what I've read, she trained with the brothers when she was really young and was closer to Genji because they're both mischievous.
Kiriko realizing the little girl is “growing up so quickly” helps her understand how her own mom feels about her. So well written!
☺️
Kiriko: "Yesterday she was playing with crayons....today she's an axe wielding barbarian taking on the yakuza" *sniffs* "She's growing up so fast!!" Grandpa: "Um...I'm not sure that's a normal growth for a chi.." Kiriko: "GROWING UP SO FAST!!" Grandpa: "...uh...ok...sure...it's fine."

As the song is mostly in japanese, I'm pretty sure it's not "look away" but "doko e" (pronounced: doh-koh-eh) which means "where to ?" if I'm not mistaken.
@@shinmopi no the song is called bow by mfs and is fully English
@@shinmopi actually you may be right
u know thats not what a fun fact is right?, even if you were correct in what you pointed out?
@@klmt_vasilis5455 wrong
The "Look Away" lyrics single handedly made that fight scene. Blizzard honestly doesnt miss a beat.
😎🤟
Except it's not "Look Away" but "Doko e" (Japanese for Where to ?)
As someone else said on the original video, "Start a gang war, then leave." LOL
It's worth adding that the arches are Kiriko's ultimate in the game and it powers all her allies standing in it (faster shooting, movement, and reload time). As such, the video shows how it empowers even innocent civilians to combat readiness.
Kiriko's ultimate also accelerates the cooldown speed of abilities to, so quick abilities like Moira's orbs or Roadhog's hook are on rapid fire mode.
Oh nice! Thanks for pointing that out to us 😀🤩
In the game her ultimate ability creates a road in front of her with those blue archways, and being on that road makes her teammates move and attack much faster, so I guess it inspires fighting spirit in others even little girls and old janitors xD

I mean she did train alongside the shimada brothers(who you know are pretty busted fighters)
“dear Daredevil fight” 😂
I wonder who’d win in a hallway fight, Matt Murdock vs Kiriko.
@@NewInkFoHalo unless Matt have some hidden fox power, Kiriko got this. They wouldve shake hands afterward tho.
Don’t mess with the fox 😁
@@SkullzJoker12 I think you’re right about Kiriko winning because of her Fox spirit, but I think it’d be close, if only because Matt’s the toughest SOB this side of BJ Blazkowicz.
They’d definitely shake on it though, both have that honorable nobility about them.
I was waiting for this reaction! Kiriko is such a cool character glad you guys watched it
Another great cinematic from Overwatch 🤩
Been waiting for you to react to this. Thanks for dropping this video, guys.

I smell battlepass, another of us have fallen to Blizzard’s greed. Great character though, I can fully understand why you would buy it
@@kelduarjudgester9083 Actually..It is free to original overwatch players, I don't have a battle pass.
Definitely and definitive on my top 3 as well! I absolutely loved it! The was heartfelt, epic, funny AND hilarious! Def a good make up from the Junker Queen one which was a bit underwhelming.
Amaazing
Also fun fact. Kiriko's mom trained both Hanzo and Genji (from the dragons cinematic) as well.
Top 3 cinematics for me at this time is
1. Dragons
2. Kiriko
3. Reinhardt
(honorable mention would be Bastion's cinematic)
That’s a solid top three. For this short to be in same league as Dragons and Honor and Glory is saying something 🙂
litteraly I was asking my self when you were gonna react on this one 30 min ago xD
And you’ve been answered 😁🤗
this is probably one of the most badass cinematics they created
Holy crap they’re reacting to this as well? Awesome! I watch their dbd stuff, but I’m so happy to see them covering some Overwatch!
Also part of the lore is that the Hashimoto clan was the family that took over Hanamura from the Shimada clan when Hanzo left after thinking that he killed Genji when ordered by the elders after Genji refused to become an assassin for the Shimada clan. So there is a chance that the Hashimoto will have a character that will appear in Overwatch 2 as either a playable character or part of the PvE experience when that launches.
such a good video ! as always :D
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂😀
5:18 😆 😆 you guys are awesome
😜🤗
emotional rollercoaster :) the BANG! moment... and then the cry of the child shock me. Untypical for Overwatch cineamtics. Very strong cinematic!
Love Kiriko! One of my favorite healers in Overwatch 2 next to Mercy
Despite the fact that the launch of the game has been abysmal, and the business practices just scream greedy executives have their hands all over the game. I've been enjoying the actual gameplay changes of Overwatch 2 SO much. Kiriko is absolutely my favorite support character to play, and has gotten me more into the role then any other hero. She's such a good mix of being a great support character when the team needs her and a decent DPS character to get some sneaky picks when they don't need the healing. Her gameplay of being able to teleport around the map is so satisfying when getting out of bad situations or going in deep with your team to help clean up the enemy team. Kiriko, Junker Queen, and Sojourn have all knocked it out of the park with the amount of fun I've had with them easily.
When is Microsoft sale going through? They need to keep the writing and animation team for the shorts and just fire everyone else it seems 🤔
This 9 minute cinematic short felt like I watched an entire 90 minute Pixar film.
Wow love the intro i don't know how long you already have this haha but i like it 🥂👍
I Love your reactions ^^
Kiriko bought 3 boxes of doughnuts.
The two pizzas were from her mom as part of the groceries.
All the short take place in maps that are in the game. I like that detail.
it's probably all been explained really well by now but just in case:
kiriko's mum is a great sword fighter she is one of the ppl who taught hanzo and genji when they were young. kiriko also trained with them so they are like family friends they see her as a little sister/niece type figure. kiriko learned to use blades (kunai) from her mum and healing skills from her grandmother. that paper that dissolved into the grandad is a healing charm. the hashimoto are an infamous crime syndicate and rivals to the shimada (dragon brothers family clan). kiriko is also possessed by the kitsune (fox spirit). the fox spirit is essentially like the gate keeper to the spirit world/underworld almost like a cross between the grim reaper and spirit of vengeance. at the end she summons the torri gates (spirit gates) and forms that path which channels spirit energy. any ally on that path also channels energy hence why the kid and grandad got braver and stronger. the western equivalent would be the grim reaper summoning phantoms to chase u... terrifying. oh and ppl possessed by the kitsune in ancient lore are said to have an insatiable sweet tooth hence the doughnuts
more beautiful rich overwatch lore 😃
I've seen it almsot 10 times now and I cry every time
🥲🤗
Every overwatch characters animation is just as good as a Pixar movie, animation is always great and the story is the best.
Not sure if you recognize, but the gangster with the pompadour hairdo was also in a previous Overwatch cinematic, “Dragons”.
He was the goof that ran into the giant bell in a panic when his phone was shot out of his hand by Hanzo.
Guy just couldn’t catch a break. Not that he deserved one… 😂
Kiriko is fun to play. Don’t think I’m getting the best out of her yet but dropping kitsune rush on that final push to complete the objective is immensely satisfying.
Remember - the Fox spirit can block bullets *and* balance your bloodsugar! All-purpose spirit! Donuts are totally fine!
(also gotta love the *TERRIFYING* Fox-Spirit-Empowered little deaf girl!)
But does fox spirit also have a dental plan 🤔😜
I absolutely adore Kiriko! They really outdid themselves with her character development. There are a ton of subtleties to her design that are faithful to the folklore too.
Many people touched base on a lot of those details. If you were confused or just kinda wondering why the girl went absolutely ballistic at the end... Kiriko's ultimate ability is Kitsune Rush. It summons a fox spirit that rushes forward through those gates she summoned and It accelerats the movement, attack speed, and cooldowns of allies that follow its path. This was showing her ult in action!
I need a game based on Hashimoto gang...
Kiriko is a support in OW2, she heals through those talismans, like what she gave to the grampa. she attacks by throwing the kunai, and her ultimate is called something like "Path of the Fox Spirit" and that is what she did when the grampa and little girl grabbed a weapon and chased the bullies to the elevator
This was such a great video to watch! I loved that bad guy's line of, "I don't want to get kicked in the face. I'm going to call for backup!" It was just so funny. I doubt those guys will mess with the grampa or the little girl ever again. Lastly, I don't know if you noticed but your green shirt was pretty close to the color of her green hair. Lol!
Haha didn’t realize we had on matching greens 🤗
Glad I recommended best cinematic?? 💕💕
Yup 😊🤗
Another fun fact, Kiriko’s mom also trained Genji and Hanzo when they were all kids in the Shimada clan
I dont know if you watched it til the end, but you can see Kiriko hugging the Fox Spirit near the end of the video
also fun fact: as you saw, Kiriko can teleport. in game she is a support character and is able to teleport to allies and she can actually teleport through walls as long as an ally is within range.
She is definitely my favorite support now and she is even fun to play. Issue is now she make the other supports feel plain and the cinematic is definitely in my top 3
Not gonna lie I've never been a huge OW fan but as SOON as I get a console again I'm downloading this game because of the quality of this short
They picked the perfect voice for Kiriko.
I like the bad guys weren't all idiots, like the guy who was trying to call for backup, that was likely the smarter call, it wouldn't have helped but he was at least smart enough to know they might be in trouble.
Thank you very much for watching)
I'm glad you liked it)
Kiriko's fun to play in the game. Doesn't do all the punching and kicking, but she does throw those knives (called kunai) to good effect if they land in the face lol.
Kiriko has a ragtag group called yokai.
Kiriko wears a kitsune mask, while others wear masks based on a tanuki, amabie, kappa, kasa-obake, and oni, respectively.
Kiriko mom brought the pizza where kiriko brought 3 boxes of donuts
In japanese mythology, fox spirits are a semi equivelant to the grim reaper, and those glowing gates she was summoning are spirit gates, which are like doors to the underworld for the dead. The reason why the criminals might have been "paranormal activity" panicking aside from the violence is because this would be like if the grim reaper showed up and a pit to hell appeared. Like ghost rider
I mean the ultimate scene is cool and all, but that old man now has to fix the walls
4:00
oh, gosh.. I can smell the Yakuza cologne through the uplink AND the screen....
it was 3 boxes of donuts and she already have 2 boxes of pizza
😎👍🙂
