See Jane Go TV That guy was General Balderich von Adler, leader of the Crusaders, an elite group of armored soldiers who lived in the spirit of knighthood and protected Germany.
Balderich von Adler was the leader of the Crusaders, an elite group of soldiers from the Bundeswehr (German Army.) He was born and raised in Eichenwalde (the city in witch this cinematic takes place) and was descended from the nobles who used to rule in this city. During the Omnic Crisis (the big war between Robots and Humans), the German city of Stuttgart was almost destroyed by the Omnics (the robots) but were repealed by the Crusaders and the Bundeswehr (as seen in the cinematic "the Last Bastion", when Bastion has a flashback of the war). But after the slaughter that was this battle, the German army was in disaray and needed time to regroup and push back the Omnics. So, the Crusaders with help of the German's Mountain Infantry Battalion lured the Omnics in the now abandonned city of Eichenwalde to take a stand and give the Bundeswehr time to mount a counter-offensive. The mission was a success, Stuttgart was saved and victory was celebrated. But the Crusaders were wiped to a man, Reinhardt (who inherited Balderich spot to take part in the birth of the UN sponsored task force "Overwatch"), and Balderich died on the throne of his ancestors after saving countless lives. Btw, "I am your shield" is one of Reinhardt line in the game when he activate his shield to protect his teamates.
When Balderich says "I have been called. I must answer." in the beginning, that's why Reinhardt says the same thing at the end. He is duty-bound to do it on Balderich's stead, to honor his old friend's sacrifice.
as odd as it might seem that actually makes sense as Rein isn't really someone who'd stay in the rear directing the troops. Also this is the time Overwatch (the organization that is not the game) was under investigation and issues due possible misdeeds and depending how the timelines fit Overwatch had just lost their second in command, who was also one of founding members in the line of duty (Ana Amari). So it's possible that Director Petras (aka commander Morrison's boss) thought that loosing Reinhart in battle would be too much bad press for Overwatch.
By the sounds of it this caused something bad to happen, I'm the Storm Rising event mode Tracer and Mercy talk about something unfortunate happening caused by Reinhardt and that he took it pretty hard, making him retire early and disgraced.
And now he’s 72 and he still fights, although if you charge in to a wall he’ll say “I’ll feel that in the morning”. You know he’s old but he’s one of those old guys that’s going to die before he retires.
"Live with honor. Die with glory." So touching how Reinhardt struggled to return the second half of the Crusader motto when he realized his mentor was actually going to die.
Dudes the reason why he was let go was because he was too old. He gave it everything he had and more during his time in Overwatch but he had to step down when he hit his late 50s. The dude's over 65 in game.
I lost it at “Be their Sheild.” He says that always in matches, in memory of his fallen comrade. I was a mess when he ended with “Always”. Oh, fun fact, that girl is Torbjorn’s daughter.
I honestly felt much worse knowing how he is always a such high spirits character in game, and to realize he always had this hanging over his head while he lets out a laugh for his friends.
Saitama It's fucking with me how they make that "I will be your shield" voice line mean so much now. Like, every time I hear that in a match I'm gonna tear up ;-;
I felt exactly the same way when I heard that in this cinematic, from now on that voiceline in game will have a much deeper meaning when I hear it. Reinhardt main 4 life!!
It’s amazing how Blizzard make you care for the characters in their animations in so short time. I’ve seen main characters die in full production movies and don’t even care about it
A movie would be a difficult task to pull off and would definitely have to be made for the fans since it would not be possible for a casual viewer to pick up on the story or the background of each character and what not.
Cameron Park the movie would be easy. Overwatch storytelling almost all video. The game only has voicelines that hint at more of the story. Seperating story from game is no accident. They are setting it up for a big budget movie.
I love watching Rein's two soldiers and their reactions to each event they go from laughing at Reinhardt, showing they didn't have much respect for him then when they get orders to move out, those two look depressed because Rein clearly has a history of not protecting them as he should. every battle is far deadlier than it should be. then near the end, as Reinhardt shields them, they are in a state of almost shock. Which turns into sorrow at the realization that the commander was left behind
This video gave me a lot of love for my main character. I love Reinhardt, and everything about him. It's a shame that I just couldn't play the game anymore because it became so infuriating for me.
I think it was Mercy who pushed Reinhardt into retirement just before Overwatch was disbanded. The redhead, Bridgett is Torbjorn's oldest kid and Reinhardts squire. She helped him maintain his armor like Torb used to when he was in OW.
wow - what a touching reaction - and i love that u guys dont just talk over the vids like some others. This is how u do rxns - subtle but powerful! subscribed!!
Balerich said "live with honor" and I was like "Reinhardt will say it.... HE WILL FUCKIN SAY IT!!" and boom... "die with glory old friend.." the feels are killing me!!!!!! (and the music makes it even more sad)
How is it every time I view this short someone is cutting onions??? Goddamn onions... Maybe it's also partly that Reinhardt is one of my mains, and I love his character. *I* am your shield!!
What was your favorite cinematic and why? And give us some back story on the guy Reinhardt looked up to?
See Jane Go TV
That guy was General Balderich von Adler, leader of the Crusaders, an elite group of armored soldiers who lived in the spirit of knighthood and protected Germany.
Balderich von Adler was Reinhardt's mentor in the Crusaders. A father figure type, and a friend.
Balderich von Adler was the leader of the Crusaders, an elite group of soldiers from the Bundeswehr (German Army.) He was born and raised in Eichenwalde (the city in witch this cinematic takes place) and was descended from the nobles who used to rule in this city.
During the Omnic Crisis (the big war between Robots and Humans), the German city of Stuttgart was almost destroyed by the Omnics (the robots) but were repealed by the Crusaders and the Bundeswehr (as seen in the cinematic "the Last Bastion", when Bastion has a flashback of the war).

Kaosiful you're making me cry even more ;_;
The girl was torbjorns daughter who also happens to be reinhardts mechanic for his gear
Jane: "You're crying."
JV wiping away snot bubble: "No I'm not..."
Virde Somnio wiping the snot bubbles from his eyes... lol.
Hahaha
When Balderich says "I have been called. I must answer." in the beginning, that's why Reinhardt says the same thing at the end. He is duty-bound to do it on Balderich's stead, to honor his old friend's sacrifice.
ye because rein fulfill balderich's place on overwatch team
It's ok, I'm still crying every time I see it ☹
Goddamn blizzard and them messing with my emotions
me too its just insane
Jackal if I lost you I'll cry
Reinhardt was pushed out of Overwatch because he was too old. When he turned 50 they forced him to retire.
as odd as it might seem that actually makes sense as Rein isn't really someone who'd stay in the rear directing the troops. Also this is the time Overwatch (the organization that is not the game) was under investigation and issues due possible misdeeds and depending how the timelines fit Overwatch had just lost their second in command, who was also one of founding members in the line of duty (Ana Amari).

"Live with honor. Die with glory."
So touching how Reinhardt struggled to return the second half of the Crusader motto when he realized his mentor was actually going to die.
Music when Reinhardt bursts through the wall to protect the soldiers is amazingly beautiful
If you don't cry or even a single tear when Reinhardt says his final goodbye then you have no heart.
Ryny boi
its even more emotional when you actively play it and know all the lore lmao..jus know alot of onions were cut when i watched it
I don't know what it is, but Blizzard just has a way of making us feel so emotional in every cinematic they make!
have seen this cinematic like 20 times and I still choke up at "I must answer...always" ;) don't be ashamed, it's an exceptional cinematic
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Cinematic Trailer
I'm not crying, you're crying. These cinematic are amazing. "Our legacy is our deeds." Powerful stuff.
Never be ashamed to cry when you feel moved, JV - you have a big heart, and there's no shame in that.
man i finally thank god that overwatch release another short cuz i love your reactions to it
4:16 LOL
Emotions are human, and they are good. You two reacted just like I did and its totally awesome. :-)
“I have been called, I must answer. Always”
The girl that's with him is Torbs daughter
Did you guys ever do the Junkrat and Roadhog short?
actually that was not his daughter but actually his goddaught. briggite lindholm, daughter of torbjorn and reinheartds squire
This one always makes me bawl. Not sure why? Maybe the loss of a father figure?
The girl, Bridgette, wasn't his daughter. She's Torbjorn's kid. If you played the game you'll know who Torb is.
yeah, he id only a god father
Dudes the reason why he was let go was because he was too old. He gave it everything he had and more during his time in Overwatch but he had to step down when he hit his late 50s. The dude's over 65 in game.
Great reaction guy's seen it alot but still emotional 2 teary eyes I'm not crying that's sweat by the way 😭
6:06 my mans looks like he about to cry
Ma Boi looking like he's going to Cry
Yaaaasss them blizzard cinematics!
2:08 they're German that's their sippy cup
I see eyes getting red!
The woman with Reinhardt is Torbjorn's daughter
What if he got emotional ! He is a human being !
Q8 Rising it’s human being crying to a cartoon
The girl is Torbjörns dother
Brigitte isn't his daughter she is torbjorns daughter but sheis his squire because of something that happened between them

69k views lol
I lost it at “Be their Sheild.” He says that always in matches, in memory of his fallen comrade. I was a mess when he ended with “Always”.
Oh, fun fact, that girl is Torbjorn’s daughter.
I felt that always to, it hit me different.
It really hits me now when you play him in game, he tells you to get behind him and everything. D=
One of Reinhardt's voicelines is "I will be your shield".
At 5:27, when Balderich said"Be their shield" my sight went all blurry, jesus christ
aqsw57 Same here, damn ninjas choping onions :(
I honestly felt much worse knowing how he is always a such high spirits character in game, and to realize he always had this hanging over his head while he lets out a laugh for his friends.
Me too, I was like : ooooh no! Balderich don't say that :'(
Saitama It's fucking with me how they make that "I will be your shield" voice line mean so much now. Like, every time I hear that in a match I'm gonna tear up ;-;
I felt exactly the same way when I heard that in this cinematic, from now on that voiceline in game will have a much deeper meaning when I hear it. Reinhardt main 4 life!!
It’s amazing how Blizzard make you care for the characters in their animations in so short time. I’ve seen main characters die in full production movies and don’t even care about it
Rioxam if they make a movie, people would be crying in buckets.
Darryl Ferguson a full overwatch movie would be awesome but it would be better if they do it after showing the past of all the characters
A movie would be a difficult task to pull off and would definitely have to be made for the fans since it would not be possible for a casual viewer to pick up on the story or the background of each character and what not.
Cameron Park the movie would be easy. Overwatch storytelling almost all video. The game only has voicelines that hint at more of the story. Seperating story from game is no accident. They are setting it up for a big budget movie.
Rioxam they are gonna do backstories for all the characters first before they make a movie
I don't blame you for crying JV, i saw Jane tearing up too. Brings a whole new dimension to the character. Great reaction.
It's really powerful towards the end. They sure know how to get you in the feels within a very short time frame.
Live with HONOR
Die with GLORY ..
Been waiting for this! Going to go back and rewatch all your overwatch reactions.
Илона Крылова no
Check out the World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Cinematic.
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Cinematic Trailer next??
YESSSSS World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth PLZ
You imposter! Jk hello
Yeah, the new World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth cinematic is amazing !!!
I love watching Rein's two soldiers and their reactions to each event
they go from laughing at Reinhardt, showing they didn't have much respect for him
then when they get orders to move out, those two look depressed because Rein clearly has a history of not protecting them as he should. every battle is far deadlier than it should be.
then near the end, as Reinhardt shields them, they are in a state of almost shock. Which turns into sorrow at the realization that the commander was left behind

REACT World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth ;)
BfA cinematic is nice, but nothing more ...
You can play on this map in the game and his body is still resting in that very spot
The coin has also been there the entire time....
nelons yeah never noticed that either while ive been playing for like a year
nelons the whole mission in that map is to recover the armor lol
Arkham Doge I think its too retrieve the body and give it a proper burial , I might be wrong tho :/
I guarantee if you play the game you'll appreciate these cinematics much more.
Try not to cry 😢.. Try not to cry 😢.. Try not to 😭😭😭😭😭
Here's something that will make you even more sad: Balderich, the guy who died in this, his body is still there in-game when you play on that map :(
I think its just his armor, left in memory
Yes finally y'all react to overwatch 😎🇲🇽🏳️🌈🇱🇷
Have you seen the new World of Warcraft one from Blizzard? Oh it was amazing.
Ahem.
*_Release the fucking soundtracks to these, Blizzard._*
Wow the video quality really went up! Nice job!
At Blizzcon (or in some interview I read, can't remember which) the Devs said they purposely make those sad.
Why do reaction channels get so many subs and views
Especially when the reactions are so often obviously forced.
I think it was Mercy who pushed Reinhardt into retirement just before Overwatch was disbanded. The redhead, Bridgett is Torbjorn's oldest kid and Reinhardts squire. She helped him maintain his armor like Torb used to when he was in OW.
That's why I love Blizzard :)
Can you please react Bleach. There are English dabbing. Please😊☺️
wow - what a touching reaction - and i love that u guys dont just talk over the vids like some others. This is how u do rxns -
subtle but powerful! subscribed!!
I knew your reactions would be awesome!
This is the best animated short imo. It gets me every time. Especially when Reinhardt says ''i have been called, i must answer. Always...''

Is your girlfriend single ?
Balerich said "live with honor" and I was like "Reinhardt will say it.... HE WILL FUCKIN SAY IT!!" and boom... "die with glory old friend.." the feels are killing me!!!!!! (and the music makes it even more sad)
one of reinhardt voice line is "I Am Your Shield", when i remember that i tear up
I gotta say, this short had the best music in the background. Dragons' also had great music, but this was really emotional.
Love to see my fellow level 7 couples in work.
"I have been called. I must answer"
Ok just a few more seconds of holding back the tears it's over
"Always"
Immediately cries
How is it every time I view this short someone is cutting onions??? Goddamn onions... Maybe it's also partly that Reinhardt is one of my mains, and I love his character. *I* am your shield!!

Always use both ears when using headphones... experience for you will be better and we will be more thankful for it
