When rein says, “I’ve been called, I must answer, always.” It gets be every time, one of my favorite lines.
For the honor of Baldrich,Reinhardt will always answer
Only in death does duty end...
Tear up each time
@@Daedalus33 I still feel pain and tears threatening to break out every time I see the them exchanging final words, hammers and clasping hands together, it so 💔
@@colebarton3726 for real
"A crusader's armor is his tomb"
Exactly Jhin
Xuehue piao piao
Nuclear Tree xie hue piao piao bei fung xiao xiao
I've read that under a couple of vids now. Where do people get that from? I have NEVER heard that phrase in game.
@@shadowcat1606 I think it might be from one of the comics.
In the beginning his master says "I've been called i must answer" that's why reinhardt says it at the end cause he knows it should of been his master and not him so in a way he feels guilty and in forever in debt to him "I have been called i must answer...ALWAYS"
So... sad, at least hearing reinhardt sing karaoke heals the sadness
Because his recklessness was the cause of his master's death..
lyhthegreat well they did overwhelm them and he might have died anyway, but if he did stay with the team they couldve had a chance but its bastions and shred through shields, but thats just a theory
The only reason Rein join Overwatch is Baldrich's death,so all respect Rein gave for Overwatch,50% is actually for Baldrich,i think
@@warelephant5546 Nah. They were out of position because Reinhardt decided to charge in due to his cockiness, also fatally wounding Balderich in the process. If not for that, things could have turned out differently.
The most subtle thing in the animation for honor and glory is that if you look closely, Honor is represented by their shield and glory is represented by their hammer. At the beginning Balderich is trying to make Reinhart understand that Honor (shield) is more important than glory (hammer). But we see that Reinhart is all about using the hammer (glory) and never his shield (honor). This changes when he realize his mistake and gives his hammer (glory) to Balderich, leaving him with only his shield (honor). That's why Balderich smiles and take the hammer, realizing he finally got to Reinhart and knowing he will become the shield of his unit. It's a very subtle thing but it shows how good the writers for the short were. Also one of the line of Reinhart in the game is "Don't worry, my friends! I will be your shield!". This animoation short made this phrase make so much more sense now.
Die with Glory old friend. He dual wielded glory.
@@robfus in the end, he did let him have all the glory...
@@robfus Because Rein had to live with glory and Baldurf was about to die in Glory.
When you pick Reinhardt on Eichenwalde, he says "My master was born in this town. He also died in this town..."
Sometimes he say "I will recla my master's armour
Reclaim
@@harrytaccuso4355 And he did
"My mentor Balderich was born here! And . . . he died here."
If you play no limits on Eichenwalde you must all go Reinhardt.
"Where is Reinhardt?!?!?"
Thats the most realistic line in any ow short.
Or, "Reinhardt! Get Back to the team!"
"Damn it Reinhard" also fits really good.
stop bitching and dps I'm doing everything :P
I have a feeling that was inspired by the game stereotype lol
*Charges into enemy team
Rein throwing again!
Here’s a lil something to know... in overwatch theres a map called Eichenwalde and that’s where they are fighting. You can actually see this guy on the throne in game once you pushed the payload to the end.
Yep, every map in the animations is a map in the game.
And reinhardt has a skin called griefhardt where he literally steals his bosses armor off his corpse. The smell from that must be disgusting :)
They saw it
I always loved eichenwald.
@Nguyen Max youre thinking of recall, they were talking about the first animated short where widow and reaper tried to steal the doomfist gauntlet from a museum, with the little kid and his brother there
-"Reinhardt, live with honor."
+"Die... with glory, old friend."
Every time I watch this cinematic, I start to cry after those lines. I just cannot stop feeling those words so deep inside me.
Such an impactful moment for the cinematic😢
I’ve never cried but I’ve watched the cinematic about 50 times and huge chills go through me every time
I think he says "die... this glory, old friend."
Everytime I watch this cinematic, I cry at that part. The pain in their voices, the realization that..... he's going to die. But he can save hime one last time before he dies
Portgas AKA Daddy “Die WITH glory”. In English “die this glory” doesn’t make sense.
I cant wait for them to reach that Overwatch 2 Cinematic
Honestly same Zero Hour is amazing
Gives me goosebumps everytime
Yeah me too
So many feels, if you haven’t seen the BlizzCon reaction to it you’ve got to watch it.
OtisBucket ._. Ssssh dont spoil it
During the Omnic Crises, each country was developing their own specialized weapon to fight off the omnics. Germany created the Crusaders, a series of heavy armored soldiers with giant shields and hammers. Russia had their damaging absorbing Volskayan mechs. Korea created program MEKA, a group of mech piloted by gamers. US created a super soldier program, Morrison being the 76th soldier in the experiment (hence why hes called soldier 76) and Reyes aka Reaper being soldier 42.
So the idea behind Overwatch was that they would recruit soldiers and scientists from each of the countries specialized forces to create a single global task force. Overwatch reached out to Baldrich since hes the leader of the Crusaders, but because he died, he gave the invitation to Reinhardt instead
Reyes was soldier 24 , easy to mix up i guess
Can't wait untill they start reacting to the origin stories of the heroes. And mostly Sigma!
Ana has a great origin story too
sigma's voice actor is sooooo good
WHAT'S THIS MELODY!?!?
Baptiste one was best !
Sigma was the first origin story that made me shit myself
The best thing about this short is that is really reflects Reinhardt in the game. YES - You can charge in and wreck people real fast, but you are MUCH more helpful to your team by defending them and letting them get the kills. Judging when to shield and when to start swinging is the balance of a great Reinhardt player. Love the reaction, guys! :)
This...thank you
If you think about it this animation represents the journey every player makes when they decide to learn Rein we all were that fool running into the enemy team for glory but eventually there's a moment when all of us realize we are the teams shield and are more useful and reliable sticking by our teammates and protecting them maybe thats why this hits so hard
Learning how to do things as Reinhardt is easy learning when to do things is way harder
@@xaldrexane Its alot of spacial awareness too and knowing what range to drop the shield and land hammers or even holding charge to counter an ult with
@@MonkofVibes map awareness is also really important
"Be their Shield"
The last order His Master gave him, and one of Reinheart's most common voice lines, especially when you deploy his shield.
And its the young Lt. Reinheart in the video
and Colonel Balderich who dies.
"Don't worry my friends, I am your shield"
Btw That’s a map and at the end of the payload you see his body
We actually saw that in our stream! It was nice seeing it in game
You can actually “Play” the Lieutenant in overwatch, theres a skin that has his armor so technically you can but it’s still Rein under the armor.
Balderich von Adler was a General. Reinhardt was the Lieutenant
You can play as the lieutenant in the armour you see in the video and the armour on the throne (old)
I clicked so fast when that notification popped up that my TH-cam app crashed. Can’t wait to watch the reaction.
Omg thank you so much for the support!❤️
Little fun fact: If you pay attention, inside the game you can hear the chracters talk and interact with eachother, and it's here where we can see how Reinhardt took his commander's petition to heart, telling the team to stand behind him, that he will protect them and, sometimes, basically quoting Balderich by saying "I WILL be your shield!"
5:47 btw that robot is a skin for the hero, Orisa
Awesomeness10451 orisa is actually an OR-15, a model made for policing, and the omnics seen here are OR-14, a previous model made for war
@@yimpyoi9808 which she has a purple skin for
Not exactly, the skin is Null Sector, which IS different
Bastion has the omnic crisis and null sector skins, honestly I'd love an OR-14 skin for Orisa
Braixie Orisa actually does have the or14 skin and that’s the null sector skin it’s just a little recolor of it
He wasn't Greedy, he was Arrogant. Still not the best trait, but not Greedy
Ahh thank you so much for the correction.
He was greedy for that glory.
@@vengefulspirit99 You... Just basically described arrogance
“I didn’t know Germany existed in the war” hun Germany is in every war
Kek
@@Marian_ELCarnal Xd
I would say react to Overwatch 2 trailer, but there are some other ones to be seen first. It does give insight as to why Winston recalled overwatch. But as I said, there are others that come first. Can't wait for the next overwatch reaction vid!
Awesome we can't wait! And thank you for watching!:D
The flashback section happened ~30 years before the present day of Overwatch, so Balderich's body has been sitting there for several decades.
did you mean to say +30? Because decade means 10 years, so it would have been 3 decades, not 7.
@@isoknight0728 Several does not mean seven!
@@SpyBlu Definition: More than 1-3, but not too many. Usually, it does mean 7 but sometimes it doesn't.
@@isoknight0728Don't mind me I'm just using my evil necromancer powers to make you remember the time you thought several meant seven
I’m so glad that you enjoyed this cinematic. This has always been one of my favorites. I look forward to your future videos.
I can't wait for Wake up call. that one gets me in the feels every time.
edit: it's called rise and shine. but same thing.
Do you mean rise and shine?
They need to watch ARE YOU WITH US?
Well wake up call is a song bit i’m all for it
Honey Drop the Unicorn that’s Winston’s recall message lol part of it is in Rise and Shine
@@GhostlyGamer999
Yes, but they haven't watched it yet, but it does have important to the story.
This is the moment reinhardt realized the importance of a team and growing up is needed
I think that you guys really need to react to the Archives Event's cut scenes. Those explain SO MUCH about the story AND the heroes themselves.
The Archives Events in order (with links):
1. *Uprising*
- This event takes place in London, UK after Null Sector launches an invasion. Fun fact: It's also Tracer's first ever mission with Overwatch.
- Heroes involved: Tracer, Reinhardt, Mercy, and Torbjorn (with some appearances by Jack Morrison more commonly known as Soldier 76, Ana Amari or Ana, and Gabriel Reyes more commonly known as Reaper.)
- th-cam.com/video/dq8PJ3saU5E/w-d-xo.html (the cut scene is at the very beginning. there is no other cut scene at the end)
2. *Retribution*
- This event takes place in Venice, Italy. It gives more info about Blackwatch, the part of Overwatch not regulated by the government.
- Heroes involved: Gabriel Reyes (Reaper), McCree, Moira, & Genji.
- th-cam.com/video/uRriA5X7Epw/w-d-xo.html
3. *Storm Rising*
- This event takes place in Havana, Cuba after the team finds out about Maximilian, a talon member's position. They are there to get some information from him.
- This event explains more about Talon as well as events leading up to Overwatch's ban.
- Heroes involved: Tracer, Mercy, Winston, and Genji.
- th-cam.com/video/6KbDuCl0YEU/w-d-xo.html
Awesome thank you so much for linking those! Should we react to these before or after reacting to the hero origin stories?:)
@@GMineo id say after cause the animations give the most info to understand the missions.
True
True
G-Mineo That was a great suggestion from Aaron Patron! I am such a fan of Overwatch lore, so in my opinion you guys should see them before the origin stories, as they tie up a lot with Overwatch’s past. You will see known and new characters in these clips, but then you guys can see the origin stories next, as they present each hero which was launched after the game’s original release. Excited for the next videos, and eventually Zero Hour for OW2!
YESSS you finally did it :D Been waiting till you guys reacted to this!! Can't wait for the other reactions!
Oh my gosh, FINALLY! I am so glad you guys reacted to this!!! They are in in Eichenwalde, Germany. It is one of the maps. The robots were OR15s and Bastions which are the same type of omnics as Bastion and Orisa. BTW the girl was Brigitte who is a playable character and who is the daughter of Torbjorn. And once you see the Rise and Shine cinematic Wintson’s recall message will make much more sense... ☺️
They were actually or14s. The or15s were the defense robots for numbani before doomfist destroyed them and then Efi took one of them and created Orisa
Awesomeness10451 Just looked it up. You’re right. Thanks!
E.K. Rossi no problem bro👍👍
Oml I can't wait for their Shooting Star reaction-- or Rise and Shine
Coming right up. Stay tune ;)
Mei’s short is the “coolest”!
Lol
Mmhm... Its boring in my opinion.
But it's the "coolest"
reported
No you just did not-
I’m excited for you to watch Rise and Shine. It also a really sad cinematic, but it’s a really good one.
Its my favourite
This one is the best made one and the saddest, rise n shine had a happy ending.
Coming up next!:)
Something of note: in-game, Reinhardt often says “I will be your shield!” At first it was just one of those lines that has to do with their character, but then this short came out and now we become sad when he says it.
Lol the lady had a look on her face the entire time that had "What the fuck am I watching" written all over it lmao
In a crusaders oath, they swear to that if they die in battle, their armor becomes their tomb
This is my favorite short, but I have never seen somebody appreciate and get this as much as that dude on the left. Super good reaction y'all
If it wasn’t for the way the line was spoken the second time, “live with honor, die with glory” sounds like it could’ve been a code the Spartans lived by or something.
I genuinely love watching these vids and seeing how you guys react! I’m so excited for you guys to get further in the story!
Thank you so much!:D We're excited too!
No matter how many times I watch this one I always cry
The charging is part of his kit and there is allways one player in the team that loves to charge in to 6 enemy and instantly dies.
Let’s go I been waiting for this for so long!!! Love you guys
Your ow stream was really fun :) glad i got a chance to play with you
I don't like watching reaction videos like this but you guys somehow make it fun to watch, good luck going through more lore
I absolutely love y’all’s videos, I’ve been playing overwatch for awhile now and I enjoy watching others take interest in its lore
Thank you! We're having a great time learning about the lore:D
The flashback part of the "Honor and Glory" short was during the first Omnic War, about thirty years before the main events of the Overwatch games.
Its so much better when u guys keep quiet and watch the video and then talk about it at the end, MUCH BETTER ❤️
This story is even more relatable because Reinhardt here is just like every other Reinhardt main - reckless charges and playing for kills at the beginning, to team-focused shield play when you get better at the game and the character.
Reinhardt learned a valuable lesson that day that came at a very high cost; thankfully it seems he took it to heart.
Awesome stuff! Seems like you're really enjoying these
I love the comment: "He's a tank?" after seeing him charge through the bastions
This is Reinheardts story of how he became a soldier. The girl you see in the beginning of the cinematic is Torbjörns daughter, Briggite. The other guy in the giant suit of armor was his Commander, he died protecting his troop. Against a group of omnics known as OR15, also know as Orisa, but the character Orisa is just like Bastion, Has a consciousness and was repaired/reborn.
His pride took his friends life, now he's repenting for his mistake.
It’s sad when you think about it, Balderich is sat upon that throne an eternal reminder to Reinhardt and all those who come after, to always honour the call.
I was waiting for this so bad
I like that in this video is also showned the omnic adaptation ability, after they fought the crusaders perhaps for months, they developped a model to counter their charge
The reason Balderich is still sitting on that throne years later is because it is the tradition of the Crusaders that their armor becomes their tomb should they fall in battle.
In the lore, Crusaders are to be left at the spot where they die and their armor becomes their tomb to tell their story. If you play on this map in-game (Eichenwalde) he is in fact still there in that chair, and you can even see the Overwatch coin in-game where he placed it
After this short originally came out, you seen A LOT of Reinhardt players change their playstyles...because a lot of them was doing the cocky charge forward of the Young Rein...but after this..even more became the team's Shield.
Fun fact: you can see Eichenwalde Castle (the resting place of Balderich in this cinematic) in the background of "The Last Bastion" cinematic when Bastion is walking through the forest.
fantastic reactions! it was a pleasure to finally see you guys react to this amazing cinematic :)
The dual wielding moment is the best part. He went out like a king.
Yess that part gave us chills!
4:10 “I didn’t know Germany existed in the lore.”
Overwatch takes place in a future-fantasy version of our world. Reinhardt is German, Tracer is English, Widowmaker is French, Zarya is Russian, etc..
One of these big robots is indeed one of the characters you can play in Overwatch. BUT the one in the game was altered by a little girl to protect humans instead of destroying them. Her name is Orisa.
Gta:all you had to do was follow the train
G-mineo:all you had to do was follow the people
Others:uhh what i don't get it
This is where Reinhardt got his saying, "I am your shield!"
I remember getting into Overwatch last year, i wanted to know about the lore so i watched all the animated shorts in order and was like this is amazing why isnt this a movie?!
Because it take them around six monthes to make one ~10 minutes short so imagine how long it is to make 1h30/2h or how much cost for bigger team but efforts to keep quality.
However an OW film (and/or serie) could totally come at some point and *hopefully* in hand animated 3D/2D and not in motion caption capture or other methods not fitting with OW's style but probably not until some year(s)
It's so much fun to watch people be introduced to the amazing overwatch animated shorts. It lets me relive the entire experience for the first time again.
"Watching them in order" skips Rise and Shine*
Awesome vid guys! BTW the girl with Reinhardt is Torbjorn's(turret guy) daughter!
No, after this is shooting star and rise and shine. At least that’s what the playlist was set.
@@mxxdoka Rise and Shine is definitely before Shooting Star
@@mxxdoka Rise n Shine came out august 2017 and honor and glory came November 2017
We accidentally skipped Rise and Shine but it'll be the next reaction vid we put out!:) Thank you for watching Nyfriom!
Lived as a Man
Fought as a Warrior
And Died a King brimming with Honor! And GLORY!
fun fact: after this animation a lot of players actually used the shield of Reinhardt way more often, kind of amazing i think
"I, am your shield!"
*passive-aggressively showing the first part of the animated short to every tank that dives in too deep*
Reinhardt actually covers his face when he is charging in game, its a cool detail
Very cool to see you guys react to this, one of my favourite Overwatch shorts along with The Last Bastion!
Can't wait to see till you guys watch Sigma's origin story!
Thank you for watching! We can't wait either:)
I've been following the Overwatch voice actors during around this time. And if you saw Reinhardt's actor (Darin De Paul) on events, he's really jolly and enthusiastic about just everything. So when this cinematic came out at that time, I was really pleasantly surprised on how intense his performance played out. I think IIRC this was the first cinematic where both actors for Reinhardt and the other crusader were both in the studio for the recording. The actors record separately and alone most of the time. (this was talked about when Darin was on Blizzcon 2017)
The last "die with glory" hits really hard the voice acting is fantastic
I'm watching this 2 years later and I got tears pouring down my face even though I already know what's gonna happen 😭
I'm from germany. Near the city of Stuttgart where this took place. Proud of you Colonel Balderich von Adler. Ruhe in Frieden, mein Freund.
u didnt play enough Reinhardt to understand video enough, when ur playing him and spam some phrases but randomly he says ill be their shield. Then when his master say "be their shield". That part just broken ur heart
The one who died was called Balderich and back during the Omnic war he was called upon by overwatch. But since, unfortunately he couldn’t join overwatch, Reinhardt took his place and thus joining the Overwatch Strike force and then soon the strike team.
Balderich fighting the Omnics was not about defending the throne; it was about stalling and giving time for Reinhardt and the other soldiers to escape. He just happened to die on a throne as the noble leader he was.
Also, the woman with older Reinhardt is Brigitte Lindholm. She's the daughter of the playable hero Torbjorn (pronounced torb-yorn) and Reinhardt is her godfather. She acts as Reinhardt's aide/squire, fixing his armor and patching up his wounds as they travel around Europe to help others. Not long after this short was released, she was also revealed to be the 27th Playable Hero in the game.
Just so you know the woman talking to reinhardt in the beginning was obviously Briggite lindholm a playable character in the game and daughter of Torbjörn, so what i wanna say is that she was just barely known in overwatch till this cinematic and she was released as a playable character few months after this cinematic so it was pretty hype cause there were many rumors bout her coming in game
One thing I find great about OW is that you play the maps and recognize stuff from the cinematics and vice versa
12:21 yes, Baldereich (as the other one was called) was also a tank but he as we got to see he never made it in to the overwatch force because they only took in one person from each defense force from each country like for example Reinhardt is from the crusader army who are all the same type off people in these giant armors, Phara who (comes in long after overwatch was started ) is a sample of the helix army of Egypt and reaper and soldier:76 are the only members that we know of that came from the same defense force which is a group of men that’s kinda like Captain America with their modifications and that stuff.
In case you didn’t know, there are several more cinematics you haven’t done yet. My personal favorite was the teaser for OW2 that id love to see ya’ll react to. Fun video and keep up the good work!
Ok wtf this is trippy
Wasnt expecting to see the wade concept on a random reaction channel in my reccomend vids
Didnt know he did stuff like this before boxing commentary stuff
From the looks of this, you’re gonna want to be in the Air Force.
Y’all *need* to watch sigma’s backstory
We'll make sure to take a look at it! Thank you so much for the recommendation!
Reinhart when he was younger was basically the tank that people get mad at because he was playing like a DPS 😂
Then after the big switch happens, he basically realized the value of being an actual tank was what he was neglecting
Reinhardt is the best designed character in Overwatch. Probably one of the best in any game really. His gameplay meshes with his lore and personality perfectly.
He is the epitomal example of a tank, he has the most flexible shield which can be moved and deployed at complete will.
But.... players playing him are CONSTANTLY tempted to drop the shield and go for extremely risky plays. Rein is the only shield tank who can't attack and shield at the same time.. Orisa, Sigma and Winston all put down their shields and then shoot through them, but Rein just has to stand there with his up.
On the other hand doing damage is so highly rewarding to him, Rein's ultimate charges unnaturally quickly for an ultimate when he causes damage to the enemy, but since he's so close range it's hard to charge it up at all sometimes.
That jetpack charge he was doing constantly in the cinematic is infact one of the strongest abilities in the game which can instakill any DPS or Support in the game, and even another tank which gets hit by it will almost definitely die shortly afterwards to one or two swings... And even if it misses the enemy now has a Reinhardt in the middle of them swinging a massive hammer around.... But on the other hand if Rein is causing chaos in the enemy's backline there's now no-one protecting his own frontline and his team is vulnerable.
Playing Reinhardt feels like you are the guy in the cinematic.
One little fix, the charge isn't instakill unless the wall/collision the just behind the ennemy and if you do it in middle of ennemis you have luck they kill or CC you before you spread your victim on a wall lol
However yes Rein is absolute perfect main tank, so much they say they have a very hard time trying to get an other main tank as good as him (that's why we didn't got one simce but an anchor tank and very off tank based ones)
That girl talking to him is his ward Brigitte. She's Torbjorn's daughter and he helps Reinhardt fix up his Crusader suit.
Everyone had their own thing to fight the Omnic . USA had the solider program, Germany had the Crusaders, Russia had the giant man controlled robots etc.
There aren’t any cinematics that involve the true Talon soldiers and heroes and stuff like there. Widowmaker and Reaper are both agents of Talon but if you want to see the Talon soldiers, you can watch the Retribution trailer and maybe gameplay. It also gives you a good look at Blackwatch. One of the heroes in Blackwatch (Reyes) turns into Reaper later on.
The quadraped omnic that stabbed Reinhardt is an older version of one of the champions, Orisa.
I just realized. YOU SKIPPED RISE AND SHINE!
I love your reactions so much, you guys are the best
This is showing that Reinhardt had it backwards. He thought that honor comes with glory, but in fact glory comes through honor. Col. Balderich showed him the way by sacrificing himself in honor, and forever being remembered in Glory. Just my take on it
How much of a beast you have to be, to use the sword that went through you as a leverage to break robots arm off...
You should all also watch the behind the scenes video for Honor and Glory, where Michael Chu, the former head writer, breaks it down and a few extra ideas they had that didn't make it.
Also, I recommend checking out the other Blizzard cinematics, including the origim shorts of Overwatch. Definitely watch Winston's message, as you'll get a better understanding of both what Brigitte meant in the beginning, and the upcoming short, Rise and Shine.
Also, minor correction and lore: Reinhardt is the lieutenant, Balderich was a colonel, and they both belonged in the Crusaders, Germany's line of defense during the Omnic Crisis. Overwatch originally wanted Balderich, which is why he had the Overwatch token, but as shown in the short, he gave it to Reinhardt since he sacrificed himself to make sure he and his troops made it out.
The line of the master "The team needs you, be their Shield!"
One of Reinharts lines in game is "I am your Shield!"
When people play as Reinhardt without seeing the shorts. Oh a hammer guy with some robot stuff. Yay
