A reference to BlizzCon 2017's of the Nexus trailer, as well as sort of continuation. In the trailer, Hanzo and Alexstrasza fight each other as preparation for the Nexus. The time has come to put this training into use. | ||

Upon the death of his father, the clan elders instructed Hanzo to straighten out his wayward younger brother, Genji, so that he, too, might help rule the Shimada empire. When his brother refused, Hanzo was forced to kill him. Unbeknownst to Hanzo, however, Genji narrowly survived the attempt with the help of Overwatch. This act broke Hanzo's heart and drove him to reject his father's legacy, ultimately leading him to abandon the clan and all that he had worked so hard to attain.[2] | ||

After his attempt to kill his brother, Hanzo abandoned his clan and swore to never wield a sword again, and would rely only on his skills with the bow. | ||
|
High Elven archers were unmatched with with their use of the bow[3]. And being formerly Ranger-General, the best of the best, Sylvanas was more than proficient with the art. | ||
|
|||
|
Unlike its neighboring country China, Japan has never fully adopted the use of crossbows, as they fully prefer bows. Although there are some recorded, such as the Oyumi. | ||

vs. Alexstrasza | Am I ready now, Lifebinder? | Another reference to the Dragons of the Nexus trailer. | |
vs. Genji | You were never my equal. | ||
Just as when we were boys. | |||
vs. Sylvanas | No time for games. | Poking fun at Sylvanas' signature line "I have no time for games." | |
vs. Bow-using hero | I am not so easy a target. | ||
vs. Rifle-using hero | I would take my bow against your rifle any day. | Despite being from a futuristic Earth that has different sorts of high-tech guns and weapons, Hanzo still uses his trusty bow. | |
vs. Dragon hero | You are no true dragon. | ||
vs. Stealth hero | There is nowhere to hide. | ||
vs. Overwatch hero | Is that the best Overwatch can offer? | ||
vs. hero with kill streak | The outcome was never in doubt! | ||
Generic | (laughs) Perfect. | One of Hanzo's purchasable Voice Lines in Overwatch. | |
Unworthy. | Some of Hanzo's voice lines when striking the final blow to the enemy in Overwatch. | ||
Hardly a challenge. | |||
Is that the best you can do? | |||
(scoff) Weakling. | |||
Too easy. |

---|---|---|
What? | ||
Speak! | ||
Have you nothing better to do? | ||
No, of course you don't. As I expected. | ||
Why does everyone think I'm a villain? Is it the goatee? It's the goatee, isn't it? | Cartoon villains from the 1900's usually had goatees. | |
Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, and like a forest... (smiling) it can be most enjoyable. | A reference to Kill Bill: Volume 1. '"Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, and like a forest..." is spoken in Japanese by Hattori Hanzo and plays as the main character, The Bride, begins plotting her revenge. | |
When in doubt, put a bow on it. | "Put a bow on it" is an idiom that means to finish what you're doing, like how people tie bows with a ribbon after they're done wrapping a gift. However, Hanzo is thinking of another kind of bow, of course. | |
Every year, I sneak into Shimada Castle to honor my fallen brother. You'd think at this point the clan would just close the gate. | Hanzo makes it a tradition to honor his fallen brother by breaking into Shimada Castle and lighting an incense offering and praying for Genji. However, opposite to what is implied in the quote, breaking in the Castle is no easy task as Hanzo takes down a number of guards to do it. | |
I've heard that some archers use arrows that deploy nets or explosives. Some even have boxing gloves. Hah. A true archer has no need for such parlor tricks. Now where are my scatter and sonic arrows? | A possible reference to DC Comic's Green Arrow, who possesses arrow's that Hanzo describes. | |
Garrosh is proud of his tattoos, but can they summon a pair of spirit dragons? Hmph. Didn't think so. | Hanzo's dragon tattoos allow him to summon a pair of spirit dragons when they glow, while Garrosh's tattoos don't. | |
Sine of x equals cosine of pi over two minus x. Simple trigonometry! | A pun on Hanzo's voiceline "Simple Geometry." | |
I am Hanzo Shimada. I'm the best around. Nothing's going to ever keep me down. | ||
It's not my fault if people want to pick me all the time. They simply recognize greatness when they see it. | Around the time Hanzo was released in Heroes of the Storm, he was a very popular pick in Overwatch games, seeing play in most games. | |
It is not enough that I should succeed. Others should fail. | ||
They say that perfect is the enemy of good. So, I guess I'm a villain, after all. (laughs) |
