hanzo’s kanezaka skin

ok so I know his skin came out sooo long ago but I have no idea if someone talked about this already:

his skin? doesn’t it look as if it could be an Overwatch uniform?

from his lore related skins like his default (his cinematic clothes), scion (the time when he ran a yakuza) and casual (when he went through a mid-life crisis, while also making an appearance in one of the comics), all three of them all have a specific design choice which is that they’re all blue, his whole theme.

pls ugly hanzo came up first okay

another important detail is his name.

what we know of Hanzo, mentioned in his cinematic fight against Genji, he has stated many assassins came for him but he was always successful on his own. if he did have a partner, they might have been mentioned by now but there is nothing confirmed.

why would he have his own name on him if he worked alone?

that’s because he doesn’t; he works for Overwatch.

sure that may be a huuge stretch but what if he did? the orange and black theme matches well with Overwatch’s logo. the name on his strap may also be a name tag or something to refer to the agents to. and why would he even need (ugly) glasses if he was literally trained at birth? it may be old age or possibly a gift from the team.

even with recent cinematics/ leaks of Overwatch 2, we can clearly see that Overwatch is getting back together with new and old heroes. Hanzo could be one of them !!!

anyways, that was my take on his new skin. it could be wrong but it still intrigued me how he put his own name on a bow; a weapon no other character (that we know of) uses in the game.

btw I haven’t caught up on all other heroes’ lore or looked much into Hanzo’s besides knowing the gist of it so please, I’ll be happy to hear your own theories :)
