Genji Shimada
“A reckless playboy left for dead by his brother, rebuilt as a cyborg ninja — and the long road to making peace with what he became.”
Deflects bullets and energy projectiles back at their source. One of Overwatch's most iconic counter-abilities.
Ultimate. He draws an energy-charged blade and slashes in rapid succession — capable of eliminating an entire team in seconds in close quarters.
A rapid forward lunge that resets on kill — enabling chain assassinations within a single engagement.
After being nearly killed by his brother and rebuilt as a machine, he spent years cursing what he'd become. He fought for Overwatch but had no real purpose. Zenyatta's teaching finally gave him what his blade couldn't: the peace to say "this body is still me." Reserved now, but unhesitating about sharing what he's learned the hard way.
