Let's all be honest, Torbjorn is the best character in the lore, he took down a giant mech all by himself, he kindly took Bastion under his wing, he has like what 8 kids? Which means he bangs his wife on the daily, and he is responsible for the key phrase of the whole series "cheers love, the calvary's here". I just wish all this was reflected in game, where he gets no respect
I feel bad for genji, tubes in his arms, it looks kinda painful 3: Plus he's still being built, he still had rage about hanzo....he needs a hug(and healing)
WOW. What a comic! TIMECODES are in the description to skip. What do you think of the story reveals, what's your favourite? Lots of speculation off the back of this now...and, how about those BLATANT skins - I think it's not when, but which, for a lot of those! :) Genji hype? Where does the Widow skin fit in, I wonder.....:) Do let me know your thoughts on the comic, in the comments! :D Hit up madefire or overwatch website for the comic! Hammeh
iMawgan only things that don't suit Mercy's and Tracer's new outfits - those silly hats. Taking their abilities into account (flight and blink respectively) - they would lose them at first opportunity.
I flipped when I saw Genji's Blackwatch logo and how scarred he was. I also noticed that the removal of clothing on the right breast is a tradition in the Shimada clan
It is, especially since you'd think the "bad" guy usually can't feel sympathy, I honestly think it's because he is no longer in command of overwatch and knows what it's like to get the shit end of the stick. What do you think?
The complaint from Japan could actually be a reference to the fall of the Shimada Clan. As we can see, Genji is a part of Blackwatch, and the Japanese government probably wouldn't be too keen on having Overwatch's sketchier side messing around with their internal affairs.
Little theory: What if Genji went on that mission and helped rescue all of the hostages as well as Mondata. And then Mondata realises Genjis cybernetics and that he is half omnic and human and kinda sees through Genjis feelings (can see genji is troubled) so mondata mentions/recommends the shembali (if thats how its spelled) so genji goes and travels to the monastery and takes a liking to zenyatta and trains under him. probably completely inaccurate. but it's just a thought
Big K a person's canon that they themselves believe. It's their own version of the story that is built off the canon blizzard creates with their own ideas.
Well I wouldn't say that could happen. Zenyatta is a nomad. He doesn't stay in Nepal. He wanted a more down to earth approach about spreading enlightenment and goes around just helping people. He disagrees with the preaching style of the other enlightened omnics. So it doesn't make sense for him to be staying at the monatery.
I think Japan complaining about Blackwatch might be because of Genji who is now confirmed to be part of Blackwatch dismantling the Shimada clan just a theory however
Except, nobody knows Genji was in Overwatch, nor he was part of a covert ops. Even if they knew what Blackwatch was, he couldn't be recognized because of his cyborg appearance.
Hammeh! I don't know if you remember, but I pointed out a potential Genji Blackwatch affiliation on your Blackwatch video! I'm so happy the theory worked out lmao😩🙌🏼 perhaps the instance in Japan had to do with Genji. We know that Genji's mission was to take out the Shimada crime syndicate. We also know KNOW that Genji was affiliated with Blackwatch. Perhaps they got a little too...enthusiastic.
Great video as always! Just some little points/speculation I picked up on: - The murdered Overwatch Official might be Gerad Lacroix, widowmakers husband, I think the eygpt news story is seperate form the murdered official - The Instance in Japan with Blackwatch might be extracting Genji maybe? The skin makes it look like he still is recovering despite his combat proficiency Also in terms of the event itself: - I think the event will be a standard Kings Row map but with a few changes. One of the main changes will be the map where there will be a lot more destruction in the streets. The heroes will start out in the church or at the church having being dropped off by their ship, and have to take out the anti air gun from the streets. During this an omnic horde will be happening. The bomb/payload (The one torb loaded in the comic) will then be dropped by the ship and the heroes will have to escort it to the power plant against the omnic hordes. Edit: Also Reinhardt skin xD
I would love if the event, instead of being a horde mode, is more like a PVE style match, were you fight off the Omnics that McCree is getting attacked by, and then delivering the bomb on a cart instead of on the plane, since the AA gun emplacement. I feel like this would be better than a horde mode.
I'm imagining that this even will last 28 days, one for each of the days of the uprising, the 28 day being after the one shown and the resolution to it. It just seems like a nice amount of time for an event to take place in.
I feel like your videos are much more comprihensive than many other youtubers like Stylosa for example and i personally enjoy your style of videomaking to his! So keep up keepin' on!
That's very kind of you! Stylosa makes great videos, and does many things I can't :) I do enjoy focusing on the story and covering everything possible in detail to do with that though :)
Tbh i cant get mad at Reyes for being hostile with Morrison. I'd get pissed too if i lead a team for years only to get pushed down to 3rd place by some outside party and have my former partner take command😂
Just a theory, but what if the the whole Blackwatch in Japan thing is because Blackwatch was sent to assassinate the head of the Shimada clan, (Genji and Hanzo's father) I mean, it makes sense in my head.
Not quite, Blackwatch was sent just to dismantle the clan (or what was let of it), because, let us recall, the incident with Hanzo and Genji happened following their father's death which was 10 years ago.
I think that the Overwatch official that was murdered was Widowmaker"s husband because in the comic, under the headline where it says "Overwatch Official Murdered", there was some pictures of what seemed to be Overwatch gameplay. In three of the pictures it looks like Widowmaker gameplay when she is looking in her scope.
I have kind of of a theory behind why blackwatch received a complaint from the Japanese government. Maybe because they took genji in and the Japanese gov wanted to arrest him for affiliation with the shimada clan. Even though genji seems to not do anything in the clan, the government might still want him to question him but overwatch dose not let them.
Mr.Gamer22 If the Japanese government publicly asked for Genjis arrest then that would mean that the shimada clan knew about Genji being alive and Hanzo could have seen that on any tv. I think that if anything Genji and Blackwatch took down the shimadas, however, because of their power they could have influenced the Japanese government to make public statements against overwatch as a retaliation.
The question is, do people even know Genji survived and was taken in by Overwatch? Also, even if Blackwatch came into scrutinity, I don't think how the government managed to get any information of its members, Genji included, because it was a secret division after all. Hanzo could have known the clan was dismantled but not that Genji participated in that, remember he didn't know he was alive until their encounter in Hanamura.
I think it was always suggested that Reyes becomes the Reaper we know and love AFTER his clash with Morrison, which clearly hasn't happened just yet in this comic.
Mercy, Torby Reinhardt and Tracer in a team :')) So good :)) Its all i could ever of dreamed in an overwatch comic :') If only bastion was there, but its still perfect :p
My Speculations/Theory from reading and analysing this comic: Reyes and Morrison's feud starts soon after this, theyre still in containment mode for Blackwatch under their supervision now since Cairo/Japan events happened. And its now official the scrutiny placed in Japan by Blackwatch was Reyes secretly using Genji as the ultimate weapon to eradicate Shimada Clan, an Assassin Guild located in Japan (You can call em Yakuza). And it was well presented that Genji was under Mercy's care while Lena was under Winston's, which ideally seem awesome how these characters connected from bioscience and physics fields. And toward the question "When did this happen pre-OW fall?" Well? I guess three or four years before it happend within the timeline. Genji is still on Blackwatch, and having context of him being with Winston and Tracer on missions, suggest that they formed the Third Generation of Agents for OW. Another factor would be Reinhardt's acceptance of retirement, he retired plausibly shortly after this. Another interval to think about is probably McCree being there in Switzerland HQ and his arm came from its destruction and placed as a reminder on how the "truth" behind its cause.
I wish I had more in-game currency. I'll be able to get a few of what I want (depending on if they are Legendary items or not) I'll just have to be lucky when it comes to the boxes.
In one of the early cinematics and at 5:14, it shows a bunch of cities that correspond with existing maps but it also shows Seattle, Washington in the U.S., Paris, France, and more. That could be potential for future maps.
I think mayhaps the newest Cinematic will be the mission? That'd be great! I think it would've been nicely planned if that's the case, as the slower more dialog heavy bit is done here, and the more action bit could be done with the short. Here's hoping!
Just cause reyes is a bit sarcastic and laid back doesnt mean hes not serious. You can be funny or have a few sarcastic remarks but you have to remember HES the one who is deaing with the problem first. He already has mcree in the field while morrison doesnt do anything til the end of the chapter.
At the time of Genji and Tracer training, Trevor Worenstein, or Quintessence which he would be called later on is having a conversation with his sister Emily. Quintessence is a character I'm working on. He was responsible for every bit of armor Tracer has on besides the Chronal Accelerator. He has a knack for modifying armor. Trevor was the one who asked Morrison personally if him and Winston could help her. He has worked with Mercy and McCree with their gear. Torbjorn considers him one of his star pupils.
I'm glad to get more personality for mercy because let's be honest, the personality of "perfect pacifist angel" is pretty boring. Here she is much more forceful and I love it! I much prefer a mercy that is so driven to provide care for others that she will go to (perhaps any) lengths to do so. This gives her more oomph to her character and puts up some interesting moral and plot conflicts to explore!
another important thing for me is that this comic is set before the ana introduction comic, the one with widoemaker. this means that that comic was even closer to overwatch dismantlement
Here is my speculations 1. The skins here will be introduced in the coming event. 2. I think the Arcade game will be PvE with the Overwatch cast defending London COD Zombie-style, with waves and easter eggs. 3. Said eastereggs may require an action, but iwll ultimatelly give us more clues about the past.
i have slight suspicion. we know that the team is away to kings row. Jack isnt coming with them so does Gabriel. as you said in the video that Gabriel kinda hiding something from the team. what if during the Team's mission, Jack finds out Gabriel true plan and that cause both of them to fight and cause the destruction of the Swiss base, hence the fall of Overwatch. imagine during kings row mission you found out your swiss HQ got destroyed.
All of these incoming skins are really cool looking, but one bit that you kinda skipped over was the fact that this actually proved that Night Op 76 is canon is Morrison's flashback panel
I just barely realized all the links to King's Row as of late, and can't help but assume the next animated short will take place there again. Yes, we just got activity in Numbani with Doomfist reemerging and Orisa's creation, but we also got this Uprising flashback happening, and what I had just noticed were the posters in Numbani for Lucio's concert. Idk if they always said it, but they say "Coming to King's Row". So much lore circulation around England currently.
A couple things to think about Hammeh: the murdered overwatch official that the news is reporting may well in fact be Gerad LaCroix. Due to this being before Ana's duel with Widowmaker, which would have to be sooner rather than later in the timeline. Also I think Blackwatch's activity in Japan might be them taking out the Shimada Clan. Perhaps during the battle, Blackwatch got exposed to the public? Maybe it was Reyes who recruited Genji to OW/BW similar to how he recruited McCree?
We definitely need a comic about Genji and Mercy!!! The comic can easily show more of their back stories as well as how the two seem to share such a close relationship with each other. It'd also be cool to see a comic showing Genji's training with Zenyatta and how he achieved inner-peace with himself.
Based on his Blackwatch skin, it seems Hanzo eviscerated him diagonally from the right shoulder down to his left flank while Genji had his back towards him, which ties it nicely to the diagonal cut on the banner in Hanamura.
This comic brought back some questions I've always had about Genji's injury. Whatever wound(s) Hanzo dealt in their duel it was severe enough for Hanzo to think he killed him, but not bad enough to immediately finish him. It's also clear that the two fought in the main building in Hanamura, but Genji clearly got brought to some medical facility where Mercy/Overwatch found him and healed him, something Hanzo wasn't aware of. This comic shows that most of the damage he suffered was to the right side of his torso (perhaps his arm was severed) and maybe his face as well as he's covering here despite showing it to Hanzo in "Dragons" indicating that he might not need it as a breathing apparatus, his legs seem replaced/enhanced as well. This gives alittle more detail on what happened to him but still doesn't answer my other question, how did he get medical care? My best hypothesis is that after dealing the final blow Hanzo left immediately, unable to stomach what he'd done, and that whoever was left to remove Genji's body must've been one of his friends in the organization who realized he was alive and took him to a hospital.
I'd bet the comic's setting up the brawl with the four heroes going, Tracer, Torb, Mercy and Rein, being the ones we get to play in it. Maybe McCree as well as he's been shown as on the ground already.
I. literally. loved. EVERYTHING. It's the first time we see everyone working in the organization and still, when I read it, I was like 'Damn. Good old times.' even though I never saw how it was before ! This is just amazing, I love the designs of their battle suit and the grumpy Torb is just perfect ! :D
We need those skins man. Also love these comics and that we get more story on the lore and characters of Overwatch. I wonder if those will ever get a physical release not just digital because I would love to have that in my graphic novel collection.
"Cheers, love! Easter is here! And I'll be spending an unhealthy amount of hours trying to get that Genji skin!" All the other's look cool as well. Liking Torbjörn's Overwatch cap.
McCrees shooting with the wrong hand. He used to shoot with his left hand before losing it. Also it gives a little history about Liao. He might have left before it fell. I was hoping that this comic would have shown him or tease him.
I have a hunch that the bomb looking object being loaded into the dropship is in fact the EMP Payload on King's Row, it just seems too similar. This makes me recall one of Junkrat's lines on King's Row "So we're here to deliver a bomb to scrap some bots and I'm getting paid for it. Sounds like my kind of job". I do wonder if that's connected to the story or just something related to his character that isn't tied to the overall story
With all the hints, I'm guessing the mission is not going to be another comic, but rather an animated short, theres been a while since the last one so another one is due, and that would be a cool way of doing it.
I think this will be part of the event. It seems set up to where it leaves a pve mission having four players going against the crisis like the halloween one did.
Mccree has both his hands in the comic, but shoots with his right hand, disproving the theory of him being left handed and then having to learn to shoot with his right hand after loosing his arms.
This comic actually makes me rethink what the payload is currently on King's Row. I had assumed it was an EMP because of the pulse it emits at the end (and because of Junkrat's voice line), but it bears a striking resemblance to the bomb loaded onto the drop ship in the comic. Morrison nor Torb strike me as indiscriminate mass murderers so it may just be a good old fashion bomb and it actually is intended to blow open the ceiling/floor/door in the power plant, where the enormous blue glow upon successful delivery is just the bomb going through activation before it detonates. If it's going off through an electromagnetic activator that glow may just be a dramatized visual of the electromagnetic field turning the bomb on as opposed to the usual concussive shock from a blasting cap or similar device which wouldn't be visible. That may just be idealistic thought but I guess we'll know more once the event is out.
More Tracer lore! (And lore in general). Tracer mains unite! Again! Can't wait to play her in the new event. (Also kind of main Reinhardt and Mercy and used to main Torbjörn so ya, feel pretty confident about this 4 man horde mode)
Did everyone miss the Hanzo skin on the computer screen to the right of Morrison? As he walks into the hub of the training session. About timeeeee lmao
How far does Genji's cybernetics goes. He's basically Darth Vader at this point.
roderickuw haha
Pretty far by the looks, but perhaps in some areas, not as far as we thought. Here, he's still a bit torso...
roderickuw I saw this same comment on ohnickel
roderickuw obviously he is much less cyborg than we thought
roderickuw at least he's not just a head and a spine like Raiden
Let's all be honest, Torbjorn is the best character in the lore, he took down a giant mech all by himself, he kindly took Bastion under his wing, he has like what 8 kids? Which means he bangs his wife on the daily, and he is responsible for the key phrase of the whole series "cheers love, the calvary's here". I just wish all this was reflected in game, where he gets no respect
Noah Martinez I know Torb is so underrated
"people always underestimate the engineers"
Noah Martinez I guess it's balanced out. After all, gets a lot of showtime in the comics
Noah Martinez where he gets no respect lol
Noah Martinez lol so right
Man everyone is freaking out over that possible Gengu skin.
VΞGΛEidolon it's so good
So. Good. Hype
I'm exited about Blackwatch McCree!
The new McCree skin has a stump for an arm :3
Because McCree? Fuck that guy
VΞGΛEidolon the mercy skin is more important, gengu can't survive without his healing
I feel bad for genji, tubes in his arms, it looks kinda painful 3: Plus he's still being built, he still had rage about hanzo....he needs a hug(and healing)
Amby DrawCat Good thing Mercy is there for that last part
Chaotic Neutral honhon gency
I agree. not to mention the wires and tubes connected to his skull and spine
Best comic yet, I was surprised to see Genji was a part of BlackWatch
They weren't kidding when Jeff said it was the best yet!
Robert Ames in my headcanon Genji was always in blackwatch.
But, headcanons can't come true
Lathan Harlan not the case
in hindsight it was kind of obvious, a ninja running black ops missions.
WOW. What a comic! TIMECODES are in the description to skip. What do you think of the story reveals, what's your favourite? Lots of speculation off the back of this now...and, how about those BLATANT skins - I think it's not when, but which, for a lot of those! :) Genji hype? Where does the Widow skin fit in, I wonder.....:) Do let me know your thoughts on the comic, in the comments! :D
Hit up madefire or overwatch website for the comic!
Hammeh
SO MUCH HYPE!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) i neeeeeed that rein skin
Blackwatch McCree must happen
!!
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) im excited for that Genji skin and of course I'm excited for my main Mercy to get a new skin
As an avid Mercy main, I swear; if that Mercy uniform isn't a new skin, I will wrestle Jeff
GTE4everyone - Enzo prepare to death
GTE4everyone - Enzo *PREPARE TO DEATH*
Everyone is freaking out about the Genji skin, while I'm here thinking about a scientist Winston skin
The labcoat winston and mercy would be a fun twist!
I think we may see a winston skin based on the omnic mccree fights here, the gun looks rather similiar at least.
Some Dead Meme you mean scientist harambe?
windowmaker FUCKING NORMIE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
stoned. Stfu weeeeeeb. Winston is daddy material
I really hope Mercy get's that new skin it looks AMAZING
I'd be surprised if we didn't see it. Her, Tracer, Genji seem...very solid bets.
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) ANOTHER Tracer legendary? Not needed
Yesss. We've never seen Mercy with her hair down before.
iMawgan same I need the skin
iMawgan only things that don't suit Mercy's and Tracer's new outfits - those silly hats. Taking their abilities into account (flight and blink respectively) - they would lose them at first opportunity.
I flipped when I saw Genji's Blackwatch logo and how scarred he was. I also noticed that the removal of clothing on the right breast is a tradition in the Shimada clan
The fact that Reyes felt a little sympathy for the Omnics is very interesting
It is, especially since you'd think the "bad" guy usually can't feel sympathy, I honestly think it's because he is no longer in command of overwatch and knows what it's like to get the shit end of the stick. What do you think?
CT - 7598 especially since his line from killing zenyatta and bastion he sounds rude towards then and shows no respect
WickedNewbies2 432 I think, that Reyes isn't bad at all, unlike Reaper, who corrupted him, mad an abomination out of his personality.
CT - 7598 I think it has to be his background of living in slums of los Angeles where there were crimes and he is Hispanic if you get what I mean
The complaint from Japan could actually be a reference to the fall of the Shimada Clan. As we can see, Genji is a part of Blackwatch, and the Japanese government probably wouldn't be too keen on having Overwatch's sketchier side messing around with their internal affairs.
Aaron Cunningham it can be it is like that cause yakuza clans are in the grey area and provide services benefitial to the country's economy.
Little theory: What if Genji went on that mission and helped rescue all of the hostages as well as Mondata. And then Mondata realises Genjis cybernetics and that he is half omnic and human and kinda sees through Genjis feelings (can see genji is troubled) so mondata mentions/recommends the shembali (if thats how its spelled) so genji goes and travels to the monastery and takes a liking to zenyatta and trains under him.
probably completely inaccurate. but it's just a thought
Is it bad if I dont know what that means? Lol
Big K a person's canon that they themselves believe. It's their own version of the story that is built off the canon blizzard creates with their own ideas.
Well I wouldn't say that could happen. Zenyatta is a nomad. He doesn't stay in Nepal. He wanted a more down to earth approach about spreading enlightenment and goes around just helping people. He disagrees with the preaching style of the other enlightened omnics. So it doesn't make sense for him to be staying at the monatery.

I *NEED* THE NEW GENJI'S SKIN!
Fortunately i saved 3500 gold for the next event
DavrK same
I, too, require Healing. Sorry, I mean that new skin.
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) Lmao
DavrK same fam
even people who dont play genji will want this, ill be buying a shit ton of boxes for this
I'm super happy we got some mercy lore in this, and hopefully a new skin! Thanks for covering the comic for us Hammeh!
As soon as I read the comic I was waiting for this video!!! Thanks for uploading so fast. :D
YW, I hope it wasn't too fast! Do let me know what you think!
You can hear your voice change when you smile at funny parts. Your vids are my favorite because you're clearly passionate about making them!
Hammeh! I don't know if you remember, but I pointed out a potential Genji Blackwatch affiliation on your Blackwatch video! I'm so happy the theory worked out lmao😩🙌🏼 perhaps the instance in Japan had to do with Genji. We know that Genji's mission was to take out the Shimada crime syndicate. We also know KNOW that Genji was affiliated with Blackwatch. Perhaps they got a little too...enthusiastic.
Good call Sarf! :)
You're an amazing writer. Theese lore analytics are always extremely well made and perfectly arranged
If that Fancy Comic Genji doesn't turn out being a skin this'll be a bigger crash in hype since the roaring 20s
people are still waiting on hipster hanzo so who knows
if genji does not get this skin fans will be more mad than the mei Christmas skin
Hah. Yeah. Hipster Hanzo and especially Van Helsing McCree had people hyped about possible skins, but they didn't pan out.
you sound so happy and excited in this vid it made me so pumped honestly i luv u hammeh
that gengi skin doe
Dat skin doe. Gief.
Great video as always!
Just some little points/speculation I picked up on:
- The murdered Overwatch Official might be Gerad Lacroix, widowmakers husband, I think the eygpt news story is seperate form the murdered official
- The Instance in Japan with Blackwatch might be extracting Genji maybe? The skin makes it look like he still is recovering despite his combat proficiency
Also in terms of the event itself:
- I think the event will be a standard Kings Row map but with a few changes. One of the main changes will be the map where there will be a lot more destruction in the streets. The heroes will start out in the church or at the church having being dropped off by their ship, and have to take out the anti air gun from the streets. During this an omnic horde will be happening. The bomb/payload (The one torb loaded in the comic) will then be dropped by the ship and the heroes will have to escort it to the power plant against the omnic hordes.
Edit: Also Reinhardt skin xD
I would love if the event, instead of being a horde mode, is more like a PVE style match, were you fight off the Omnics that McCree is getting attacked by, and then delivering the bomb on a cart instead of on the plane, since the AA gun emplacement. I feel like this would be better than a horde mode.
Dominic Horwood Tracer skin has me nutting
To add to this it looks
Like widows scope under the Egypt headline
Are you surprised at all about how accurate your prediction was?
I'm imagining that this even will last 28 days, one for each of the days of the uprising, the 28 day being after the one shown and the resolution to it. It just seems like a nice amount of time for an event to take place in.
28 days being 4 weeks, just thought I'd clarify that.
hammeh is like a hungry beast waiting for some lore content to make them epic videos
boi I want that overwatch Reinhardt
Awesome, isn't it?
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) yeah, hands down the best
I want all of those OW themed Skins
I NEED THAT REIN
I NEED THAT MERCY
I'd love to see 'Stachehardt in overwatch.
I wonder if his hammer has overwatch logo on it
I feel like your videos are much more comprihensive than many other youtubers like Stylosa for example and i personally enjoy your style of videomaking to his! So keep up keepin' on!
That's very kind of you! Stylosa makes great videos, and does many things I can't :) I do enjoy focusing on the story and covering everything possible in detail to do with that though :)
Widowmaker skin(s) is yet to be seen. It better be amazing
Lando G Yeah, and dat ass better be shiny! lol
Well , if the genji is anything to go by...it should be awesome!
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) yeah Genji's looks badass! I don't even play him, but I want it lol
Lando G as well as McCree's new legendary
I'm hoping that going by the speculated theme, we'll get a young Amelie skin.
Can Genji and Tracer get some interactions with this update?
When genji dies, tracer ( teammate) says " that won't take genji out of the fight in a aggressive way towards the enemy
Ok i read your comment and happened to look at your pic right after and burst out laughing
WixWaster Wike *HOT STEAMY INTERACTIONS, YOU SAY ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*
Tbh i cant get mad at Reyes for being hostile with Morrison. I'd get pissed too if i lead a team for years only to get pushed down to 3rd place by some outside party and have my former partner take command😂
For sure! What's going on behind the scenes with Reyes and Blackwatch though, the next question!
The blue dots behind soldier on the map show the locations of the current in game maps. The one in/near France may indicate the location of a new map.
I want a "cheers love!The cavalry's here" voice line
Well, she does get it on spawn :D
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) I mean for our favorite swedish dwarf ^^
Fati Touaoula for the last time, he's not a dwarf
Really well made video man, love your thought-process and how you always analyze every detail, as I miss some details sometimes.
Just a theory, but what if the the whole Blackwatch in Japan thing is because Blackwatch was sent to assassinate the head of the Shimada clan, (Genji and Hanzo's father) I mean, it makes sense in my head.
Not quite, Blackwatch was sent just to dismantle the clan (or what was let of it), because, let us recall, the incident with Hanzo and Genji happened following their father's death which was 10 years ago.
I think that the Overwatch official that was murdered was Widowmaker"s husband because in the comic, under the headline where it says "Overwatch Official Murdered", there was some pictures of what seemed to be Overwatch gameplay. In three of the pictures it looks like Widowmaker gameplay when she is looking in her scope.
All of these Overwatch uniforms.
GIB. NAO.
Giefffffff
Awesome video. You really like the game :) And Mercy's skin is my fav. with that beret she reminds me of cardcaptor Sakura. Also Genji loos sick!
I have kind of of a theory behind why blackwatch received a complaint from the Japanese government. Maybe because they took genji in and the Japanese gov wanted to arrest him for affiliation with the shimada clan. Even though genji seems to not do anything in the clan, the government might still want him to question him but overwatch dose not let them.
Mr.Gamer22 If the Japanese government publicly asked for Genjis arrest then that would mean that the shimada clan knew about Genji being alive and Hanzo could have seen that on any tv. I think that if anything Genji and Blackwatch took down the shimadas, however, because of their power they could have influenced the Japanese government to make public statements against overwatch as a retaliation.
The question is, do people even know Genji survived and was taken in by Overwatch? Also, even if Blackwatch came into scrutinity, I don't think how the government managed to get any information of its members, Genji included, because it was a secret division after all.

Mercy, Torby Reinhardt and Tracer in a team :')) So good :)) Its all i could ever of dreamed in an overwatch comic :') If only bastion was there, but its still perfect :p
Beepboop
It is third or fourth video about this comic I'm watching.
This is how I'm hyped for the event and new skins
IKEA SQUAD! ASSEMBLE!
LOL.
My Speculations/Theory from reading and analysing this comic: Reyes and Morrison's feud starts soon after this, theyre still in containment mode for Blackwatch under their supervision now since Cairo/Japan events happened.
And its now official the scrutiny placed in Japan by Blackwatch was Reyes secretly using Genji as the ultimate weapon to eradicate Shimada Clan, an Assassin Guild located in Japan (You can call em Yakuza). And it was well presented that Genji was under Mercy's care while Lena was under Winston's, which ideally seem awesome how these characters connected from bioscience and physics fields.
And toward the question "When did this happen pre-OW fall?" Well? I guess three or four years before it happend within the timeline.
Genji is still on Blackwatch, and having context of him being with Winston and Tracer on missions, suggest that they formed the Third Generation of Agents for OW. Another factor would be Reinhardt's acceptance of retirement, he retired plausibly shortly after this.
Another interval to think about is probably McCree being there in Switzerland HQ and his arm came from its destruction and placed as a reminder on how the "truth" behind its cause.
MUST. GET. ALL. OVERWATCH THEME SKINS
Gief nao
Particularly "Training Room Tracer" or "Cadet Oxton" and "Overwatch Reinhardt" (as I main Rein and Tracer)
dragonson04 Fuck it, I'm buying lootboxes, these skins are TOO GOOD to pass up. (I got 6000 coins in reserve baby!!!!!)
I wish I had more in-game currency. I'll be able to get a few of what I want (depending on if they are Legendary items or not) I'll just have to be lucky when it comes to the boxes.
In one of the early cinematics and at 5:14, it shows a bunch of cities that correspond with existing maps but it also shows Seattle, Washington in the U.S., Paris, France, and more. That could be potential for future maps.

BLACKWATCH GENJI!!!!
But other than that, this was an amazing. So much things I learned about overwatch and blackwatch. Can't wait for the event!!
SparrowsTail When it gets in the game, I'm gonna be debated over it or Oni :(
James A. LOLFail Blackwatch is better than Oni :D
I think mayhaps the newest Cinematic will be the mission? That'd be great! I think it would've been nicely planned if that's the case, as the slower more dialog heavy bit is done here, and the more action bit could be done with the short. Here's hoping!
Just cause reyes is a bit sarcastic and laid back doesnt mean hes not serious. You can be funny or have a few sarcastic remarks but you have to remember HES the one who is deaing with the problem first. He already has mcree in the field while morrison doesnt do anything til the end of the chapter.
For sure! I do wonder what's going on in the background and why McCree was there...
At the time of Genji and Tracer training, Trevor Worenstein, or Quintessence which he would be called later on is having a conversation with his sister Emily. Quintessence is a character I'm working on. He was responsible for every bit of armor Tracer has on besides the Chronal Accelerator. He has a knack for modifying armor. Trevor was the one who asked Morrison personally if him and Winston could help her. He has worked with Mercy and McCree with their gear. Torbjorn considers him one of his star pupils.
I'm glad to get more personality for mercy because let's be honest, the personality of "perfect pacifist angel" is pretty boring. Here she is much more forceful and I love it! I much prefer a mercy that is so driven to provide care for others that she will go to (perhaps any) lengths to do so. This gives her more oomph to her character and puts up some interesting moral and plot conflicts to explore!
ShadowErus Ikr. Mercy character development is always welcome in my book. Still keeping fingers crossed for her own comic or animated short tho
Yass I'm so happy to see more of Mercy.
another important thing for me is that this comic is set before the ana introduction comic, the one with widoemaker. this means that that comic was even closer to overwatch dismantlement
"Overwatch official murdered" - Gerard Lecroix
Also, I bet McCree loses his arm in the explosion of the HQ
Chris Rideout he leaves before that.
Yes, I was wondering this. Why egypt, though? Maybe him and Amelie were on holiday...
So much excitement in this one video than my heart can't take it all!! Well, time to faint
The Japan incedint was probably the Talon attack to the Yakuza clan
Good shout!
Here is my speculations
1. The skins here will be introduced in the coming event.
2. I think the Arcade game will be PvE with the Overwatch cast defending London COD Zombie-style, with waves and easter eggs.
3. Said eastereggs may require an action, but iwll ultimatelly give us more clues about the past.
Cody King God I hope it's COD Zombie Style, that would be siiiiick!!!
Cody King Christ Almighty that'd give me some nostalgia
that genji skin
give it to me n o w
HearMeNow
Nice hammeh, I love how much you interact with viewers here. 🙂
bet the new genji skin is gonna be called "Black watch genji" or something to do with black watch 😅
Agree!
Omg Reins hair, it just reminded me of that interaction with Pharah and Rein about the golden age overwatch poster.
BLACKWATCH GENJI LOOKS BADASS
i have slight suspicion. we know that the team is away to kings row. Jack isnt coming with them so does Gabriel. as you said in the video that Gabriel kinda hiding something from the team. what if during the Team's mission, Jack finds out Gabriel true plan and that cause both of them to fight and cause the destruction of the Swiss base, hence the fall of Overwatch. imagine during kings row mission you found out your swiss HQ got destroyed.
could it be that that huge bomb they load into the dropship is the emp which the attackers transport on kings row?!
Did wonder that! I think maybe though, it's just a bomb to blow open the power plant door...who knows?
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) well that sure must be some heavy doors to need such a big bomb to open them O.o
Fav skin i love genji, but i love torbjorn too
Love the comic. Can't wait for another tracer skin to get 😁
All the skins! Cadet Tracer is so incoming.
tracer has too many skins. she should share with the other heroes
Don't bring up tracer skins I'm having flashbacks to when the only Christmas skin i got was Tracer's 5 times.
+Wyatt Haley You poor thing, hahaha. I actually wanted Tracer's winter skin most and it was the only one I never got, sadly.
Wyatt Haley at least you got the skin 😭 and I feel your pain. I got zayra's emote 3 or 4 times
All of these incoming skins are really cool looking, but one bit that you kinda skipped over was the fact that this actually proved that Night Op 76 is canon is Morrison's flashback panel
god i hope mercy gets the skin that she has on fdskjubgfjakdga
That is Mercy Afaik!
I just barely realized all the links to King's Row as of late, and can't help but assume the next animated short will take place there again. Yes, we just got activity in Numbani with Doomfist reemerging and Orisa's creation, but we also got this Uprising flashback happening, and what I had just noticed were the posters in Numbani for Lucio's concert. Idk if they always said it, but they say "Coming to King's Row". So much lore circulation around England currently.
LIES!!! Reaper has a statue 😂
Love the Genji skin btw
Haha, he does! Not quite the same one though :D Yeah, what a skin....
A couple things to think about Hammeh: the murdered overwatch official that the news is reporting may well in fact be Gerad LaCroix. Due to this being before Ana's duel with Widowmaker, which would have to be sooner rather than later in the timeline.
Also I think Blackwatch's activity in Japan might be them taking out the Shimada Clan. Perhaps during the battle, Blackwatch got exposed to the public? Maybe it was Reyes who recruited Genji to OW/BW similar to how he recruited McCree?
Kaplan! Please make the Blackwatch Genji skin! This Pro Genji needs that skin! 😣
Is that a pro genji?
I'd be very surprised if it doesnt show up..
We definitely need a comic about Genji and Mercy!!! The comic can easily show more of their back stories as well as how the two seem to share such a close relationship with each other. It'd also be cool to see a comic showing Genji's training with Zenyatta and how he achieved inner-peace with himself.
I hope that a real genji skin!!
I'd be very surprised if its not, how up front and centre it is in the comic..
Based on his Blackwatch skin, it seems Hanzo eviscerated him diagonally from the right shoulder down to his left flank while Genji had his back towards him, which ties it nicely to the diagonal cut on the banner in Hanamura.
19:22 Perhaps you should have chat hidden when recording these...
Yeah, believe it or not I only spotted that after :( Will do ^^
This comic brought back some questions I've always had about Genji's injury. Whatever wound(s) Hanzo dealt in their duel it was severe enough for Hanzo to think he killed him, but not bad enough to immediately finish him. It's also clear that the two fought in the main building in Hanamura, but Genji clearly got brought to some medical facility where Mercy/Overwatch found him and healed him, something Hanzo wasn't aware of. This comic shows that most of the damage he suffered was to the right side of his torso (perhaps his arm was severed) and maybe his face as well as he's covering here despite showing it to Hanzo in "Dragons" indicating that he might not need it as a breathing apparatus, his legs seem replaced/enhanced as well. This gives alittle more detail on what happened to him but still doesn't answer my other question, how did he get medical care? My best hypothesis is that after dealing the final blow Hanzo left immediately, unable to stomach what he'd done, and that whoever was left to remove Genji's body must've been one of his friends in the organization who realized he was alive and took him to a hospital.
WHEN U EARLY
TY for watching!
once I saw the comic was released I couldnt wait for this video!
WHY MORE TRACER SKINS?!?!?! SHE HAS ALMOST 20. GIVE MY BOY HANZO SOME!
Prism King finally a person that makes sense 👍
Prism King hanzo all day
dying for a new hanzo skin :(
Prism King Not saying that I wouldnt like one, but a skin for hanzo doesnt make sense at this event
Tisu - Overwatch I just used all my gold to buy the lone wolf hanzo skin :-(
From Geni's armor it looks like his original body was slashed in half
Quick on the draw as always hammeh, nice video btw, keep it up :)
Love the overwatch team skins idea, the blue and white looks awesome, and black watch genji, painful to watch but awesome nonetheless :)
It looks like that thing MCcree was fighting might be a skin for Winston look at the gun and the general body shape of it.
I'd bet the comic's setting up the brawl with the four heroes going, Tracer, Torb, Mercy and Rein, being the ones we get to play in it. Maybe McCree as well as he's been shown as on the ground already.
Did anyone notice that at 17:58 we get a screenshot of what kings rows attackers spawn looks like? It looks amazing
I. literally. loved. EVERYTHING. It's the first time we see everyone working in the organization and still, when I read it, I was like 'Damn. Good old times.' even though I never saw how it was before ! This is just amazing, I love the designs of their battle suit and the grumpy Torb is just perfect ! :D
We need those skins man. Also love these comics and that we get more story on the lore and characters of Overwatch. I wonder if those will ever get a physical release not just digital because I would love to have that in my graphic novel collection.
"Cheers, love! Easter is here! And I'll be spending an unhealthy amount of hours trying to get that Genji skin!"
All the other's look cool as well. Liking Torbjörn's Overwatch cap.
McCrees shooting with the wrong hand. He used to shoot with his left hand before losing it. Also it gives a little history about Liao. He might have left before it fell. I was hoping that this comic would have shown him or tease him.
I like how every character had a overwatch themed skin. Would love to have them in the game.
I have a hunch that the bomb looking object being loaded into the dropship is in fact the EMP Payload on King's Row, it just seems too similar. This makes me recall one of Junkrat's lines on King's Row "So we're here to deliver a bomb to scrap some bots and I'm getting paid for it. Sounds like my kind of job". I do wonder if that's connected to the story or just something related to his character that isn't tied to the overall story
With all the hints, I'm guessing the mission is not going to be another comic, but rather an animated short, theres been a while since the last one so another one is due, and that would be a cool way of doing it.
I think this will be part of the event. It seems set up to where it leaves a pve mission having four players going against the crisis like the halloween one did.
The destruction of historical artifacts to promote an ideology made me think of Oliver Cromwell.
Love the in game chat at the end... :')
Mccree has both his hands in the comic, but shoots with his right hand, disproving the theory of him being left handed and then having to learn to shoot with his right hand after loosing his arms.
This comic actually makes me rethink what the payload is currently on King's Row. I had assumed it was an EMP because of the pulse it emits at the end (and because of Junkrat's voice line), but it bears a striking resemblance to the bomb loaded onto the drop ship in the comic. Morrison nor Torb strike me as indiscriminate mass murderers so it may just be a good old fashion bomb and it actually is intended to blow open the ceiling/floor/door in the power plant, where the enormous blue glow upon successful delivery is just the bomb going through activation before it detonates. If it's going off through an electromagnetic activator that glow may just be a dramatized visual of the electromagnetic field turning the bomb on as opposed to the usual concussive shock from a blasting cap or similar device which wouldn't be visible. That may just be idealistic thought but I guess we'll know more once the event is out.
Yessss been waiting especially for your video on this!
Thanks Conor, hope it's worth the wait!
More Tracer lore! (And lore in general). Tracer mains unite! Again! Can't wait to play her in the new event. (Also kind of main Reinhardt and Mercy and used to main Torbjörn so ya, feel pretty confident about this 4 man horde mode)
Did everyone miss the Hanzo skin on the computer screen to the right of Morrison? As he walks into the hub of the training session. About timeeeee lmao
