Talon initially free’d him, only to tamper with his mind and make him violent. it was foreshadowing.. yea this is brilliant
Sigma hears the black hole because some say the black hole sings so he just hears it and it drives him mad the fact that he can hear it and no one else can. It just keeps singing and singing and it never ever stops. He tried to become the universe, but the universe became him. The black hole looks like the iris of an eye from above and Sigma has harnessed that. So "Gravity is a harness. I have harnessed the harness" means he's harnessed the black hole. It's depicted in the final scene where there is a Sigma with a light black and a dark black hole. You can also hear him say "release me" in reverse when he is shown with Talon as if the good in him is trying to escape.
Sigma is the only other charachter apart from bastion that I have ever felt sorry for, he is the victim of his own genius and is truly one of the most interesting heros
I feel bad for both of them to be honest But I fell bad for half the characters from blackwatch as, most were evil beforehand, but moria had corrupted and experimented on so many people and turned them into monsters, take reaper as an example, he was already kind of bad but moria just cranked the dial to 100
well they did give his ult a maniac laughter in the background and whenever you use his accretion or kinetic grasp in a more silent enviroment, you can actualy hear whispers inside Sigma's head. Although I feel like they could increase the colume because you can't hear any of it mid-fight, save for the ult's sounds.
He has 3 personalities apparently. One is polite and kind, absolute cinnamon roll; one is scared and confused and doesn't know what's going on; one is violent and a psychopath.
0:30 the sheer terror and confusion in his voice is kind of spine chilling. It sounds so real. And it really makes you feel bad for him. Sigma definitely has one of the best if not THE best voices in the game. Which is saying something in a game full of phenomenal voice acting. Massive kudos to Boris Hiestand.
"It's too much to hold on to." Such an insanely well delivered line. I like to think that this was the last sane thought Sigma had. A final, all encompassing realisation that everything is about to go catastrophically wrong. And there's nothing he can do to change that.
I also believe when ever he's says it again while stripped up is after the accident but now having being able to hold that power he realized it's to much. but as he said at the end, gravity is a harness I have harnesses the harness.

I mean... Quite literally to. If a black hole the size of a pea exists, its mass is basically almost our Earth (at about .42 times). So if one that's about the size of your palm exists, it would most likely weigh more than our solar system. Plus the Hawking radiation would've disintegrated him in an instant and I don't see him wearing any protection gear on his head. It is, in every sense of the sentence, "too much to hold on to".

Keep coming back here every time. How they created such a rich, unique character and just abandoned his potential is mind-boggling. He’s likely one of the most well-known heroes at this point and they literally only have this video that sheds light on his past.
You're preaching to the choir he was done dirty. At least give him a cinematic.Idk why when blizzard has a really compelling character they don't expand on it. Sigma literally could have his own movie or series EASILY and it would be extremely compelling
Actually, it kind of sounds like they were. We just didn't have a way to harness the raw power of the universe. In our hubris we failed, and this poor man was torn apart because of it.
@@Saimeren My unifying theory is that he looked into infinity itself when he made that black hole, and reality decided to look right back, shoving two other versions of himself into his brain. Thus, he really was unified across multiple realities, which would explain why one's a psychopath, and the other's a bit more stable while the one we're left with is literally trying to hold onto what's left of his split and fractured sanity/reality.
It's even worse when you play sigma, every time you pop your ult, you hear the melody, I literally asked myself once "what is that?" Cause it felt so out of place
1:03 is probably my favorite part by far, it shows how quickly he changed from a calm collected composer of a scientist, to a confused, afraid, and very dangerous being not of this world anymore. Siebren de Kuiper died when coming into a black hole, Sigma is all that he is now.
in game he sounds amazing as well, that feeling of instability is still present at times. So much respect to both the writers and voice actor for delivering such a chilling story
I mean I'm sure the other voice actors could to be as good as this guy but there characters restrict them a lot. I do think Reinhardt is pretty good tho
He seems to zigzag in between. He's calm and collected in interactions, he's sometimes panicked when he's using abilities (GIVE ME JUST A MOMENT!) and he revels in the violence on killing blows (TO DUST YOU SHALL RETURN!)
ChorusHM yes. One of the main theories is that he has something like a split personality syndrome. It’s pretty well depicted in the final scene where there is a sigma with a light black hole and a dark black hole. You can also hear him say “release me” in reverse when he is shown with Talon in the last few seconds, as if the good in him is trying to escape
*Sigma in lore:* Mentally unstable scientist being manipulated by a terrorist organization whilst constantly glitching reality. *Sigma in-game:* Quirky high school physics teacher who also happens to manipulate gravity :))
This is lovecraftian horror. In a toned down way of course, but it is still cosmic horror. The story of the explorer, the valiant and brave, pushing the boundaries of knowledge, understanding, reality. The story of the one that pushed too far. Pushing out of it. On the other side of understanding, being able to know and think and feel in ways the brain is far too primitive for. And then returning back from the void. Back to what is known, but still remembering. Not remembering how you thought, why you thought, how you felt, but remembering only that there is something *more*

This entire video is a masterpiece, an incredible short story, an outstanding voice acting that lets you feel the fear, anger and confusion on his voice, impecable animation that shows us how twisted sigma’s mind is after his accident with the black hole test and incredible bone chilling sound effects that gives you goosebumps no matter how many times i see this origin story, truly a short cinematic masterpiece that gives us an amazing lore and story that leaves you craving for more lore and animations such as this one
"incredible bone chilling sound effects that gives you goosebumps no matter how many times i see this origin story" TRUE. Im in love with this cinematic. Back to 2019 and now these goosebumps are always the same.
Yeah it's really good, I understand that a fully animated short with lots of action would be extremely expensive to make, but they did a fantastic job with the budget they were given
Totally, the way he's unsynced from the flow of time is a cool concept, and this nonlinear trailer was fascinating! I just wish his ingame design went beyond "if Lex Luthor was in Battle Born."
Overwatch could easily create one of the murkier ideas in cosmic horror. The fact that crossing such a physical boundary as controlling a black hole would tear you apart on an inhuman level both mentally and emotionally is terrifying. It can be interpreted as the doctor crossing a barrier to which it is impossible to use a minimum human understanding, to which the brain is not capable of processing what he lived there, permanently altering his reality. Thinking that the universe itself is "singing" to him. Perhaps it was what Sigma saw beyond her experiment. The terror of the unknown is wonderful.
Something to note with dementia is that, music is one of the few things those suffering from dementia can retain (that's why everywhere at the end of time is such a powerful album), so associating Sigma's broken psyche with a constant melody that he recognizes but can't put his finger on makes his condition even more believable
literally just reversed it before finding this comment x) he also says "keep it together" a few times backwards and "(...) harness" at one point im pretty sure
JinJinx and Tuna [Monster Hunter Math] was just looking for this, and somehow my question was answered by the Monster Hunter Math guys. How does that work?
I’ve always known what Sigmas backstory was but this is my first time actually watching this, and the amount of chills it gave me is incredible. Mad props to everyone who worked on this, especially the voice actor.
The line 'The Universe is singing to me' gives me goosebumps. It's one of the most interesting, terrifying and weirdest lines i've ever heard in a game.
the way this line is said, it almost feels like Sigma is baffled by the fact that the magnificent, infinite voice of the universe would be singing to *him*. the way this line is said is as if a god he had only just truly learned of began an intimate conversation with him and him alone
@@ihopeyouandicanbefriends Cosmic... Wouldn't it be such a riot if Overwatch suddenly introduced eldritch/celestial beings into the game?? Like they're fighting, and all of a sudden an Old Testament Angel appears?
I actually watched a video on Sigma, it discussed the idea that the melody is a way that Talon controls him. The melody most likely brings out the other side of Sigma, the violent side. In this video there are multiple hints at him having two personalities. (Most likely due to brain damage from the black hole) And in the game Sigma is insanely nice to the other heroes. Yet when he hears the melody, his ult activates. Making him powerful enough to kill multiple people at a time. It may be a little far fetched, but it's still a cool theory. Also, props the amazing voice acting for Sigma. This man deserves an Oscar.
Austin Gougler Sorry, I don’t remember what the title is. But I believe it was mainly a video analyzing the Sigma origin video. It only briefly mentioned how the melody may control him. But the more you think about it, the more it makes sense.
Sigma has got to be the most powerful being in the Overwatch universe. The only thing holding him back are his mental issues so imagine what a fully in control Sigma could do.
Good luck giving him a mental therapy, you know he is actually having every single version of him on his mind right? This isn't a normal case of multiple personality disorder, in a nutshell, imagine having the mind of everyone inside you.
Ja Ja You’re half right, Sigma likely lost it because he may have been sucked into the abyss he was trying to control and has thus lost control of his sanity.
Junkrat: Insane. Moira: Unhinged. Sigma: His brain was pulled apart and put back together by the unexplainable forces that bonds and even rules the universe. He is something else entirely. Hencewhy his name is Sigma. He is everything and all the previous thoughts and answers condensed into one word, one displaced mind. Just like a black hole.
I can't state enough how much I love this character trailer. First of all the voice acting is incredibly amazing and powerful. The origin too. My favorite character out of the overwatch series.
I like how we all came back to this after Echo's Trailer got released.. Sigma needs his own playable story in Overwatch 2. I just wanna hear this man talk and fight him as an overpowered raid boss.
I just cant believe echo and phara get to fly but "I've harnessed gravity" man can only hover half a foot off the ground, and still gets caught in Junkrats trap
That line always gets me, they got an amazing actor for Sigma and his horribly shattered mental health, someone who can hit all the high points but still pull together some sanity for low, quiet points *meanwhile overly sensual sounding karaoke* well.. i did say ALL the points
What I find most impressive in this story is how they told us about his perception with time that only now we are fully understanding. You see, the background and Sigma keep shifting, as if he's being pulled back and forth through time, never knowing how long things had passed. For him, something that has yet to occur (such as a meeting for lunch) actually happened almost decades ago, just like as if he was pulled into a black hole, he probably know everything that had happened and everything that will, and that was too much for his "simple human brain" to understand. Truly an amazing lore for such a character
In terms of lore, Sigma is one of my favorite characters. I honestly really like when games or movies do the whole "Scientist goes crazy studying the thing they're a professional in" trope. Sigma's study itself is extremely interesting anyways. The study of being able to summon, or possibly even control black holes at one's own will, as well as the power to harness gravity. It really makes you wonder just how powerful Sigma is. If he can make black holes anywhere he pleases, he could destroy the world, if not the galaxy. He's the most powerful character in Overwatch lore-wise.
@@boxman7044 Sigma is the antithesis and the other "piece" of Tracer's power, she got physically lost in time and now can control is while sigma "lost" his mind in "space" and now can control it, and at the end one was saved and other is being used, Tracer could very easily become insane like Sigma if she didn't get help and i'm pretty sure she had psychological help once she was stable in time, sigma on the other hand was imprisoned and treated like monster until Talon found him and is now using him as a living weapon
Cool fact: At the start as the blue letters of ''origin story'' appear on the screen, there are some yellow letters too! If you slow it down you can make up ''EM DJIRVEB''. If you reverse the order of the letters it says "BEVRIJD ME'' which means ''RELEASE ME'' in Dutch GG Blizzard
Awesome. I also noticed the letters and listed them out in a previous comment, but no one responded. Glad to know that it wasn't just a bunch of random letters. :)
I mean they already have: A blue sniper A literal dead guy A scientist who does plenty of questionable experiments and can literally suck the life outta people
@@pluto3194 Reaper isn't a literal dead guy, lol... He became a megalomaniac when Moira changed the molecular structure of his body, allowing him to turn into mist and back into human form, whenever he wants, the name "Reaper" is a direct product of him lorewise being an edgelord, they constantly make mentions of this with character intereactions ingame, you know... People making fun of reaper being unnecessarily flashy and edgy, and being needlessly wasteful by throwing his guns away when they are empty on ammo, lol. Widowmaker is apparently the one closest to being dead, her physiology has been slowed down so much that her skin has turned blue, her heart apparently barely beats at all... hence why she doesn't feel emotion, she essentially became a sociopath because she no longer feels emotions, you know, except when she kills people, that's when she feels the slightest rush, and because she can't feel anything else, she's addicted to the only feeling she gets, apparently. Both of these people used to be normal Overwatch buddies, or normal people, but became corrupted by the sideffects of various scientific experiments.
@@MyouKyuubi Well, we don't know what happened when 76 fought Gabe and blew up the Overwatch hq. Soldier 76's face got mutilated so its possible Reaper got completely mutilated...but Moira's experiments allowed his cells to slowly fade and disappear over time, essentially making him a walking dead man
Based on what just happened, I’m gonna theorize that his investigation and his experiments eventually led him to seeing into the “Iris” that Zenyatta keeps talking about. The Iris has been described as not something specific, but everything and it gives an awakening of consciousness for Omnics. Imagine you are something with no thoughts, and no feelings, and then suddenly, you feel something and everything at once. I think that’s how Omnics “wake up”. You give that to someone that ALREADY has consciousness and intelligence, that would and did spit a mind apart mentally. Which is what we just saw with Sigma. This would explain how he’s able to levitate like Zenyatta can. Either that or the shift of gravity… BUT HEY, THATS JUST A THEROY! A FILM THER-

I love that little touch. Talon made him a weapon when he wanted to be a hero.
1:03 is probably my favorite part by far, it shows how quickly he changed from a calm collected composer of a scientist, to a confused, afraid, and very dangerous being not of this world anymore. Siebren de Kuiper died when coming into a black hole, Sigma is all that he is now.
his dialogue shows that theres a mix, he’s just deluded
This is the only origin story that I'm still coming back again and again
Same, so good. Such a cool story
Right!!!
Right now Im watching it for a 10th time. Imagine him getting his own cinematic or even a whole level in the Overwatch 2 campaign.
Doom is pretty cool aswell
the doomfist ones animation is top tier but this one is pretty great
I think this is the most emotion I've ever heard from a voice actor for overwatch.
in game he sounds amazing as well, that feeling of instability is still present at times.
So much respect to both the writers and voice actor for delivering such a chilling story
Cheers love, the cavalry's here
True, out of all the characters he shows the most emotion out of all of them. Along with bastion i guess :P he could be super smart for all we know
Right
I mean I'm sure the other voice actors could to be as good as this guy but there characters restrict them a lot. I do think Reinhardt is pretty good tho
Sigma in lore: “I will show you a new understanding of VIOLENCE....” Sigma in game: “Dr. Zhou. I've read your work; it's brilliant. :)) “
He seems to zigzag in between. He's calm and collected in interactions, he's sometimes panicked when he's using abilities (GIVE ME JUST A MOMENT!) and he revels in the violence on killing blows (TO DUST YOU SHALL RETURN!)
ChorusHM yes. One of the main theories is that he has something like a split personality syndrome. It’s pretty well depicted in the final scene where there is a sigma with a light black hole and a dark black hole. You can also hear him say “release me” in reverse when he is shown with Talon in the last few seconds, as if the good in him is trying to escape
:)))
@@Plasma476 Or the evil is.

This is lovecraftian horror. In a toned down way of course, but it is still cosmic horror.
The story of the explorer, the valiant and brave, pushing the boundaries of knowledge, understanding, reality. The story of the one that pushed too far. Pushing out of it. On the other side of understanding, being able to know and think and feel in ways the brain is far too primitive for. And then returning back from the void. Back to what is known, but still remembering. Not remembering how you thought, why you thought, how you felt, but remembering only that there is something *more*
And for black holes to ultimately be a piano melody is… fundamentally terrifying in many ways.

Overwatch could easily create one of the murkier ideas in cosmic horror.
The fact that crossing such a physical boundary as controlling a black hole would tear you apart on an inhuman level both mentally and emotionally is terrifying. It can be interpreted as the doctor crossing a barrier to which it is impossible to use a minimum human understanding, to which the brain is not capable of processing what he lived there, permanently altering his reality.
Thinking that the universe itself is "singing" to him. Perhaps it was what Sigma saw beyond her experiment.
The terror of the unknown is wonderful.

Something to note with dementia is that, music is one of the few things those suffering from dementia can retain (that's why everywhere at the end of time is such a powerful album), so associating Sigma's broken psyche with a constant melody that he recognizes but can't put his finger on makes his condition even more believable
Everywhere at the end of time flashbacks.
The weird mumble that Sigma says at the end is "Release Me" played backwards for anyone wondering.

If you watch it backwards he says more, and theirs also a hidden message that says save me in Dutch
The line 'The Universe is singing to me' gives me goosebumps. It's one of the most interesting, terrifying and weirdest lines i've ever heard in a game.
He must've heard an eldritch entity. Or, his mind has transcended to the point where he can *hear* Space itself.
No wonder he went mad.
the way this line is said, it almost feels like Sigma is baffled by the fact that the magnificent, infinite voice of the universe would be singing to *him*. the way this line is said is as if a god he had only just truly learned of began an intimate conversation with him and him alone

I actually watched a video on Sigma, it discussed the idea that the melody is a way that Talon controls him. The melody most likely brings out the other side of Sigma, the violent side. In this video there are multiple hints at him having two personalities. (Most likely due to brain damage from the black hole) And in the game Sigma is insanely nice to the other heroes. Yet when he hears the melody, his ult activates. Making him powerful enough to kill multiple people at a time. It may be a little far fetched, but it's still a cool theory. Also, props the amazing voice acting for Sigma. This man deserves an Oscar.
That’s actually a really interesting theory and definitely can hold water in canon. I would LOVE to see this explored more
Do you have a link, or title to the video?
Austin Gougler Sorry, I don’t remember what the title is. But I believe it was mainly a video analyzing the Sigma origin video. It only briefly mentioned how the melody may control him. But the more you think about it, the more it makes sense.

Still coming back to this after all these years, just bc its so great. Absolute S-tier VA and origin story
All the other heroes stories are so harmonious and presenting but looking at sigma’s story is just a mad scientist slowly losing his mind

Its kinda moira, but instead of being mad because she wasnt allowed to sience he is just insane

*meanwhile overly sensual sounding karaoke* well.. i did say ALL the points
What I find most impressive in this story is how they told us about his perception with time that only now we are fully understanding. You see, the background and Sigma keep shifting, as if he's being pulled back and forth through time, never knowing how long things had passed. For him, something that has yet to occur (such as a meeting for lunch) actually happened almost decades ago, just like as if he was pulled into a black hole, he probably know everything that had happened and everything that will, and that was too much for his "simple human brain" to understand.
Truly an amazing lore for such a character

In terms of lore, Sigma is one of my favorite characters. I honestly really like when games or movies do the whole "Scientist goes crazy studying the thing they're a professional in" trope.
Sigma's study itself is extremely interesting anyways. The study of being able to summon, or possibly even control black holes at one's own will, as well as the power to harness gravity.
It really makes you wonder just how powerful Sigma is. If he can make black holes anywhere he pleases, he could destroy the world, if not the galaxy. He's the most powerful character in Overwatch lore-wise.

@@boxman7044 Sigma is the antithesis and the other "piece" of Tracer's power, she got physically lost in time and now can control is while sigma "lost" his mind in "space" and now can control it, and at the end one was saved and other is being used, Tracer could very easily become insane like Sigma if she didn't get help and i'm pretty sure she had psychological help once she was stable in time, sigma on the other hand was imprisoned and treated like monster until Talon found him and is now using him as a living weapon

People making fun of reaper being unnecessarily flashy and edgy, and being needlessly wasteful by throwing his guns away when they are empty on ammo, lol.
Widowmaker is apparently the one closest to being dead, her physiology has been slowed down so much that her skin has turned blue, her heart apparently barely beats at all... hence why she doesn't feel emotion, she essentially became a sociopath because she no longer feels emotions, you know, except when she kills people, that's when she feels the slightest rush, and because she can't feel anything else, she's addicted to the only feeling she gets, apparently.

Based on what just happened, I’m gonna theorize that his investigation and his experiments eventually led him to seeing into the “Iris” that Zenyatta keeps talking about.
The Iris has been described as not something specific, but everything and it gives an awakening of consciousness for Omnics. Imagine you are something with no thoughts, and no feelings, and then suddenly, you feel something and everything at once. I think that’s how Omnics “wake up”.
You give that to someone that ALREADY has consciousness and intelligence, that would and did spit a mind apart mentally. Which is what we just saw with Sigma. This would explain how he’s able to levitate like Zenyatta can. Either that or the shift of gravity…
