This is most likely a reference to a scene in Kung Fu Panda where Tai Lung reacts to Po claiming to be the Dragon Warrior by saying the same quote. | |
|
|
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.[1] | |

Genji's master is an omnic monk known as Zenyatta who bears resemblance to Kharazim. They share similar color palettes and like Kharazim, Zenyatta wears a large necklace styled after Buddhist monk prayer beads. | |

When I used to play in the arcade, I thought that double jumping was so unrealistic. How young and foolish I was. | Genji frequented an arcade not far from Shimada Castle in Hanamura, his childhood home. The part about double jumping is a reference to Genji's passive ability in Overwatch, which lets him climb walls and double jump. | |
This body is not a weapon. It's a high-tech prosthesis. That's the best description I can think of. | This is a reference to Iron Man 2 in which Tony Stark describes the Iron man suit as a high tech prosthesis. | |
Overwatch saved my life. I was a man barely alive, but they were able to rebuild me. They... had the technology. | A reference to the opening narration of Six Million Dollar Man. | |
My favorite animal? Hmm. I'd say... a gray fox. | A reference to Gray Fox from the Metal Gear games. | |
I used to confront people in conversation. But these days, I tend to deflect. | ||
Even after years of training, I have yet to unlock my real ultimate power. | This is likely a reference to "The Official Ninja Webpage: Real Ultimate Power", a satire website which is written from the perspective of an adolescent paying tribute to Ninjas. | |
I am seldom mentioned in patch notes. Most of my fixes are ninja'd in. | ||
In hindsight, I should have listened when Hanzo said he had the high ground. | A reference to Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. | |
My father once told me a story of two dragons who were grounded for a week because they stayed out past curfew. <Sighs> Very subtle. | ||
People keep calling me "Mr. Robotto." I'm not even a robot! | "Mr. Roboto" is a song by Styx. Despite his appearance, large portions of Genji's body are still in tact, making him a cyborg and not a robot. Some characters in Overwatch even make this mistake, thinking that Genji has become an Omnic after his recovery. | |
After leaving Overwatch, I wandered the world for many years. Because I'm a wanderer. Yes, a wanderer. | Possibly a reference to "The Wanderer", a song by Dion DiMucci. Some of the lyrics include " 'Cause I'm the wanderer / yeah the wanderer." | |
As a cyborg ninja, my body... is always ready. | This is a reference to a quote made by Nintendo executive Reggie Fils-Aime during the company's demonstration of Wii Fit. Before stepping onto the balance board, Reggie said: "My body... My body is ready". It has since become a famous internet saying. | |
替え玉!
|
"Kaedama!" is ordered in ramen shops when asking for more noodles. |
