You should watch the 'Enemy _____' series by dopatwo, He does some amazing overwatch fan animations that have a cute sense of humor, He has one for almost every hero in overwatch and they're short vids so I imagine you can knock them out in batches of a couple per vid.
Sergio Valencia The thing is that since the world is so globalized, people really don’t care for nationalism and loyalty to a single country, especially when the most “patriotic” countries like America are more busy fighting themselves.
The thing I love most were the lines, "Live with honor", "Die with glory". The first time they say this to each other it was like they were stating their personal credo. They went into battle to live it, Reinhardt charging into the front lines for a chance to die in glorious combat while the elder soldier lived to protect his foot soldiers and comrades with honor. But when the said it each other the second time, it reverses the roles. The old man goes out in glorious fashion while the young Reinhardt goes to protect the troops and gain honor in doing so. In that moment after he hands over his hammer, you can see he realizes that he was charged with the more difficult of the two. Being brash and uncaring is easy. Dying is easy. Living is hard. Living with honor, even more so.
There is another line that is a lot more subtle that also changes context similarly to the one you mentioned which is “I have been called, I must answer.” Balderich says it is a great honor in response to Reinhardt’s dismissal. When Reinhardt says it, he says it out of a sense of duty, as if he has a debt to pay for taking Balderich’s place as a member of the initial Overwatch strike team.
This Cinematic hits even harder after you play with him, everytime he puts up his shield he says "I will be your shield" and here you know why and he means it. And the comic he says "this armor is old and has seen so much, but still holds" and you see here how originally could hold the shield so long and sky though the battlefield with such easy, now in game is so clunky and fragile, but as Reinhardt still holds.
In the cinematic you heard him say "Barriër is failing." at 11:03 of your vid. That is actually also what he says in game when his barrier gets low. Also you can fight in that level and actually see that corpse laying on the throne.
I was just going to post this exactly more or less. I don't play Overwatch much, but this cinematic and story overall (along with the Mei short) really kinda hit home a bit.
So far, I haven't seen too many people pick up on how weary Reinhardt is at the end. You can hear how goddamn TIRED he is. He may be off galavanting around, adventuring, but the second he hears Winston's call, he responds by dropping everything. He's the one of the three oldest, if not the oldest, character. And it shows in this short. "I have been called. I must answer."
@@fatcoyote2 He is canonically the oldest. Reinhardt is 61, Ana is 60, Reaper, Soldier and Torbjörn are not far behind (Soldier's age is unknown, but seeing as he was in the army with Reaper with Reaper rankwise being his superior (i think) back then, it'd say he's somewhere around his age as well, maybe a bit younger). Allthough i disagree, i don't really perceive Rein's voice as weary at the end. Just somber.
You can tell that young Reinhardt never really thought about the Crusader mantra of "Live with honor, die with glory". In the beginning he was just saying the words, but when a fatally-wounded Balderich tells him to "Live with honor" he really contemplates the response for the first time and what it means. In that moment, he realizes his friend is going to die and you can really see it on his face.
@@itsturniptime3699 High Gold Non-Rein Main here. I don't do that when I play Rein. Not intentionally anyway. I usually only dive when I think my team is going to charge in behind me. Imagine my surprise when I'm standing in the middle of the enemy team, turn around, and see my team NOT there. That moment you realize that the team just abandoned their Main Tank and YOU are that Main Tank. >.
In case you missed it, Reinhardt receiving the overwatch medallion off his dying commander was the only reason he joined OW, he did it in his place, also him giving up his hammer was symbolic of Reinhardt realising that he has people to protect and he has been wrong in the way he acted, it was symbolic of change, and letting go of that old egotistic man that he was "I have been called, I must answer" was the first line his commander said, and it was the last line Reinhardt said, all these years he has felt guilty and has been taking on the role that was meant for someone else, and he now has duty instilled in him, he is doing the best he can, for the person he lost. For honor
Crazy part is, Reinhardt joined Overwatch to begin with because of Balderich, which is why he said to Rein at the beginning "I have been called, I must answer" it was him that was called for Overwatch, not Reinhardt ... then he gave Reinhardt the little badge to him to basically fight for him and the greater good which changed Reinhardt. Which is a reason why you hear in the end "I have been called, I must answer. Always." And before he said bye to Reinhardt he said to him "The team needs you, be their shield." That's literally what Reinhardt did after. Even after the shield broke, he used his own body as a shield to save his team. Even they were surprised because Reinhardt wasn't like that at all. Also just the fact he died in the throne.
I remember when I first played overwatch, Reinhardt always have this line in the game "I'll be your shield". Now I just realized how dark that line is for him...never the same.
the true meaning is when Balderich told Reinhardt that the team need him to be their shield Reinhardt truly that moment understand that be a crusader isnt to sing songs for you but to be a defender and protect the lives of other people even if it means it will cost your life
In all honesty, this does bring me happiness. Both Overwatch and RWBY have been going through such a high level of toxicity and negativity, and seeing someone as joyful as you, whether you do or don’t know what’s happening, you can show genuine emotion and heart which is precisely what these communities need. Not criticizing, not serious, but genuine enjoyment, and I can’t thank you enough
@@sladerulez7695 No, poorly designed characters, gameplay and lore wise, that cater towards being a useless backline leech who gets to Diamond through simply sucking up to actually skilled players.
Owlmare again, you’re just proving my point. In response to a character you dislike, you decide to belittle and hate on anyone who likes the character, even though many believe she needs major changes to her character. Hating on someone for liking something that you don’t is toxic.
why can't people get along: they weren't fighting people, they were fighting the Omnic's (robot army, w/o human direction) but i can appreciate the sentiment.
i mean... omnics were still created by humans. and, well... even though they are machines, it resonates a bit too much on the real world and real people.
@@blind5211 the omnics have a self improving AI so at one point, they asked themselves " why do we have to take orders from these humans" and began their uprising.
@@randomcourier exactly we see Zenyatta and other other omnics as self aware beings which is a definition of people. However the uprising seemed to consist of puppet armies being sent out by self aware omnic leaders who had decided to use force instead of peaceful protest to try for rights.
I think I love this short so much because it really does speak to Reinhardt's sense of honor and duty and dedication. Like you touched on, young Reinhardt was still a hero, but he was too focused on the glory and praise his actions would bring to him rather than the deeds themselves, and the glory of simply doing what's right to protect Germany during the Omnic Crisis along with the other Crusaders. Hell, you saw him run off, NO HELMET, to dick around with 15 or 20 of the Bastion units instead of protecting his unit like Balderich told him to do. But once Balderich had to not only get him out of a jam but ultimately sacrificed himself so that what was left of the soldiers could get away/buy time for the German military's airstrike to come in, you could see and feel the shift taking place in Reinhardt's character. Like, you said, it was humbling; regardless of how unfair it was to Balderich to have to give his life for it to happen, the whole experience taught him that the greatest glory would come with upholding his duty as a member of the team rather than seeking individual satisfaction by being the big badass hero. That the greatest glory one could attain would be simply by being someone else's shield. So, when they cut back to the present and he and Brigitte are standing in front of Balderich's resting place, undisturbed after all these years, and he echoes his master's words ("I have been called. I must answer."), you could tell that, despite the circumstances that led to his departure from Overwatch (which I believe are covered in more detail in one of the webcomics), he still felt like he had to uphold his duty, and as Balderich said, **to be their shield**. Because it was the right thing to do. Always.
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. -J.R.R Tolkien.
I start to cry every time I see your reaction and what hits me particularly hard is that Reinhardt literally takes the words literally as he says be her shield and protects her as his shield fails with his own body and that grabs me so violently
When Reinhardt was young he had a great ego and wanted all the glory. When his friend wanted to sacrifice himself he finally understood the meaning of being a crusader. It isn’t about the glory of killing, but the honour of being the shield for others. He gave his hammer which he normally would never do because of his ego, so that was emotional (for the friend as well). So in honour for his friend he joined Overwatch and he will always answer the call for his fallen friend. In the game now hear him say “I will be your shield” so there is a deep story behind his words. You can still see Balderich’s body at Eichenwalde and I never knew that was Rein’s friend.
1986-2009 USN, I was called and I answered...not many of my brothers and sisters made it home, I did. And sometimes I wonder why. I served in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, GMC SW ret.⚓️🇺🇸 Reinhardt learned a very hard lesson, that the ultimate honor is to give your life so others may live, glory follows only in the stories told later. As a Vet I only ask that as Memorial Day gets closer, take a moment to remember those that gave their lives and didn't make it home.
god that short gets me every time i fell you katja this is a testamony to stand your ground and fight for what you trully believe and fight not always means that you have to pick up a weapon that is why i love Reinhardt he says himself i will be your shield edit i love the feeling they have capture i never was a soilder but as a former paramedic i know what it feels like to be out there in the gray seeing the light and darkness
As a mid masters player +300h with rein, i love the frase "The team needs you, be their shield" that insignificant frase made me climb a lot of SR, never forguet you're a main tank, the one in the front line, the one who make pressure, the one who eats all the dmg, thats it... be their shield, keep it in mind, and be a real Reinhardt. I cry everytime i watch this btw Q_Q
As someone in the military, we are taught to not give up, one of our key points. “You can not force someone to surrender, if you want to surrender than everyone must.” As a Cav Scout our flag which is red over white. It means “death before surrender.” Something a lot of us were taught in basic training and basically convinced that. I myself believe in that due to the fact I rather put my life down to the last breath of it means I can stop the enemy from moving forward even by a little.
I just wanted to say, that when Reinhardt gave his hammer to Balderich, he gave away his weapon, and gave up his ego for glory, and he took up the sheild, because he doesn't need a hammer to defend these soldiers, he just needs to be their shield. That is all, and everyone who reads this, have a wonderful day. Love with honor, die with glory.
I was keeping myself together (barely) through this, then you said "Why... why can't just people get a long, you know?... why, why, why does there have to be so much hatred in the world like this?". This broke me, in so many different ways. The world can be a cruel place at times, I hope for my children's sake that my generation is able to make this world a better place for them and the generations to come.
What do I love from this? It's simple. The honor. The humanity of their reactions. His answers at the end and what it actually represents: "I have been called", "I must answer. Always" that was perfect to me, and I cried at that moment, that honor. that respect, that humanity. It was just perfect. sorry for my bad english, and greetings from Spain. you're my favorite "reactioner" (?) cause I felt the same as you did in every short you reacted. looking for more reactions
That was a very genuine reaction for this origin story of Reinhardt, and I agree that it's a sad one. For the question, "Why can't people get along?" That's always a question that is going to keep eluding us and it's not an easy question to answer. People discriminate against anything that is different from them, react violently when things go wrong, or don't share any wealth that is given to them, and often times, that little spark of resentment, anger, or greed can lead to conflict. I know where you are coming from, and trust me, I feel pained by the negativity, hate, and resentment towards one another, just like you, especially with the age we live in today. Many prayers and blessings go with you. God bless you.
Such a genuine, honest reaction is hard to come by. And this cinematic brings a manly tear to my eye even today. Blizzard knows how to play with our feelings when they want to.
@@teamcybr8375 They didn't so much play with our feelings regarding Diablo as they made a physical entity out of them and decided to crush it under their heels, light it on fire, and then have a sausage party over it before dancing around said fire in a celeberatory, tribal manner.
Fan from Taiwan here. I love how u are so emotionally touched by the animation, the story, and how u express ur feelings in front of the camera that directly, vividly and genuinely. Also impressed by how much u can learn and interpret from a short story. That is not common to see a YTber reacting and giving those feedback deeply from heart! Lots of love
Balderich van Adler dies in the throne and the body and armor still there. He dies with glory and because that he stay there. Reinhardt is one of my favourite characters in Overwatch, this animated short makes me feel so happy and sensible with others. My country is so chaotic about the laws. And being friendly and help others is actually weird. We most learn more, be more humans.
I am a veteran and a police officer who doesn’t play the game but my 2 nephews play and I saw this short mini movie and this character reminded me of myself in so many ways. When you’re young you are carefree, fearless, and reckless, then there is a life changing, humbling moment that every person goes through that will change you as we all saw him change when he realized it was time to say goodbye to his friend. This video was a very deep and it captures the mindset of people who are in service and the sacrifices we have endured though out the years and at now even an older age will still go if called upon. Loved your reaction!!
This is probably one of the best one since it shows Rein in a really believable way. Like, he doesn't want to answer because he wants fight or glory, if anything, he comes off as tired but he still do it because he has to, because of the memory of his friend. You can really see that this thing changed as, for all his bravado, he could not save his friend. Unlike Mei who shrugged off several of her friends dying and world going to shit like nothing. Freaking psychopath.
Yesss thank you for reacting on this video! I waited so long, and I cried with you! This one always hits me right in the feels, I couldn’t help it. Thank you so much for reacting to this one!
Hey All Ages of Geek, I just want to say that video of yours is super emotionally beautiful. I mean, when you cried, i cried and I loved what you said about being a hero. I’m total Overwatch fan myself since a few years ago though I never played the game. Great honor watching you.
This short over all the others ran me through every possible human emotion and that was my favorite part of Honor and Glory. It also shows you were he got his signature line "I will be your sheild" every time he says it it's like a tribute to his friend and mentor. Just plane Amazing...
You never truly grow up until your innocence dissipates from your soul through the loss of someone close to you. *You can fix a broken shield, but you can’t fix a broken heart.*
11:24, that moment when your in a 1v1 and it's overtime and you have shatter, FAT 1K SHATTER, you can almost hear xQc screaming "ROLLED AND SMOKED MY DOGGIES."
We need genuine fans full of heart like you in this world. We really live in a strange world where a story made on a computer by a team of people has the power to touch the hearts of millions all over the world, reaching them where nothing else could, and seeing your reaction gives me a glimpse of that kind of amazing potential creativity, imagination and the arts have for changing the lives of people for the better, and creating something that makes a better world than if it hadn't been made. I 'm making a web manga right now with a friend, but when it's out there in the world, I wish I'll have a fan like you. A fan like you is worth more than all the likes and shares in the world. It reminds me that I'm making something bigger than myself than can bring joy and comfort to someone, to give them solace in a bad situation and inspire them to do great things and love it too. I've just found your channel, but I'm more invested in you with each video. As a creator, thank you for being such a wonderful person, Kat. Creators can make great things and keep going on knowing genuine people like you support and love the stories we share.
Love how he sacrifice himself for everyone else like me but not in war but in general. For example:) My family struggle with money and i'm not the oldest but i'm the one who always sacrifice a meal and my mom told me not to do that but I don't care just as long as everyone else is okay around me😊 P.S: I'm only 20 and I been doing that every since I was a kid👍
I sacrifice my *"Happiness"* for my family and forever i will atone for the mistakes i made with them.I was cursed as an infant and to this day feel responsible for the constant series of unfortunate events that befall them every day..Yes i also come from poverty but i don't let it hold me back because i STRIVE til the day i can make amends.I CHERISH them ALWAYS since their parents did not do the same.Only til i was born did they finally attain *"Happiness"*
This is the first video of yours that I have seen and you bring out the inner nerd in me. It's amazing. While I'm quiet, you say all the things I am saying in the inside. I love it!
What gets me everytime I watch this as their Crusader words "Live with Honor, die with Glory" was their final instructions to eachother . Also they said the same thing when they're called up by Overwatch: "I have been called, I must answer."
@@MovieNukeG that's everything but not legit. That's overacting or rather overreacting. If you think I am heartless good for you. There's a difference between legit emotion and being overly dramatic. It is pretty easy to tell.
I shared honor and glory with my dad when I visited my parents during the pandemic shutdown and ever since we watched it we now either part ways or hang up our phones saying it. Dad: Live with honor Me: Die with glory And sometimes it's the other way around. I lost him 1year later RIP Dad, I love you man. Die with glory.
You are very sweet and kind to say such things. I hope I never lose any of my friends from a gun fight but most of use are ready if we have to. Bless you. I love this because it shows brothers in arms. It runs deep.
that really hit your feels right Cat, every Overwatch trailer has something to teach, and this is how one fight changes a man, that even if your almost dying you can still fight and win, will power is enough to change to world, but it all starts with one choice, you just need to choose
I really appreciate how you thank those who had to go to war, even though war is horrible. My dad served in Vietnam and it was a tough war, coming back to people hating on him. This cinematic is my favorite cinematic Blizzard has made of all time. I seriously picture the robots as our battles in life, and Reignhardt being us wanting to give it our all, but sometimes we need someone to come beside us and help us when we need a hand to get up. keep fighting with all we got. This cinematic encourages me even with my battle of depression I have those people in my life who have been my shield in tough time. Live with honor, and die with glory!!!
I've just recently found your channel and since I'm a big fan of overwatch I started to watch it I'm not sure if you read any comments late if. Not that's fine but I've been watching your overwatch videos non stop and I love them but I'm not the person that usually shows emotions I'm 15 about to be 16 In a month and I have a lot of things rong with me my heart is cold and I shy away from crying bcs I never could for so long but watching you laugh smile cry and be sad in your videos and rewatching the videos with you it actually brought me to tears and I may just start to full on cry now I'm getting so emotional typing this lol 😢your beautiful don't let anyone tell you otherwise i just wanted to say I'm glad I found your channel I haven't cried in so long I've forgotten how it felt thank you so so Much consider me a long time fan starting as of today ❤️
I recently discovered this channel and just wanted to say thanks for all the good content! It's nice to get a peaceful break from the madness that is TH-cam
Wow I just found your channel and seeing someone else have the same reaction I did to this is so heart warming . He is my favorite character and the lessons from this video I took to heart .Keep up the amazing work.and thank you so much ! You have a new follower now ❤️❤️
Why is this my favorite OW short? I watched this short with my Dad. Who was fighting a massive infection in his heart. It had become so weak that it was hard for him to stay focused or coherent, but he managed to watch the whole thing. He loved OW's story because it reminded him of the three musketeers acting for the good of the people over the rule of a monarch. My Dad held it together enough to say Balderich's promise "Always" at the end of the short. My father died a few months later. I lived 500 miles away, it was the last thing we did together.
Idk if you noticed it but i knew this when i saw the cinematic when it came out. the thing is that at 12:03 when reinhardt says "i have been called,i must answer,always" he says it in the honour of his friend when they go into the flashback at 5:58 and rein says "soo,your leaving." And balderich replies with "i have been called,i must answer" this made such a beatifull impact im really glad i still play the game
Those are true tears that I see those tears are from the heart. That is why I love watching your videos. Because they show that you are very much connected to this reaction. I always love to see people react to these videos with true emotions.
The thing that always gets me is how Balderich was determined to buy Reinhardt time to save his team, and he wasn't a cowards he face death with a honorable victory as a fighter he fight til the end and I also got sentimental how Reinhardt uses his own body as a shield right after the shield broke my tears and jaw dropped.
You saying " why can't people just get along why there has to be so much hatred in the world like this" should be a part of this trailer. it made it even better
TBH, this my NUMBER 2 best and MOST HEARTBROKEN reaction video by Katya. As a fan of Overwatch, I truly love that game. BTW, your Spider-Man finale was ultimately the #1 most heartbroken reaction and I truly felt it the most. Once again, keep up the most outstanding work. Pay no attention to the haters because you are 100% real... When you laugh, I laugh. When you cry, I cry. I'll continue to support your channel no matter what.
Hi I'm new to the squad, ^_^ I found you through your Dragons reaction. Rein is one of my favorite characters and this cinematic makes me love him even more, I play as Rein in the game so this hit hard. This cinematic shows how Rein became who he is, he fights not only because it's to save and protect people but to also honor his friend. When you use your shield he says "Don't worry my friends I will be your shield".
Also, note how the OR-14 was able to brace against Reinhardt's charge with its four legs. The OR-14s were _specifically deployed to counter the Crusaders._

Excuse my sarcasm...but thank you for stating the obvious.
In all honesty, this does bring me happiness.
Both Overwatch and RWBY have been going through such a high level of toxicity and negativity, and seeing someone as joyful as you, whether you do or don’t know what’s happening, you can show genuine emotion and heart which is precisely what these communities need.
Not criticizing, not serious, but genuine enjoyment, and I can’t thank you enough
As long as we have Mercy mains, the game will remain toxic.
Owlmare it’s claims like this that causes toxicity.
@@sladerulez7695 No, poorly designed characters, gameplay and lore wise, that cater towards being a useless backline leech who gets to Diamond through simply sucking up to actually skilled players.
Owlmare again, you’re just proving my point.
In response to a character you dislike, you decide to belittle and hate on anyone who likes the character, even though many believe she needs major changes to her character.
Hating on someone for liking something that you don’t is toxic.
I'm with Sladerulez on this one.
why can't people get along:
they weren't fighting people, they were fighting the Omnic's (robot army, w/o human direction)
but i can appreciate the sentiment.
I kinda think she means in why can’t everything get along in general but I get we’re ur coming from
i mean... omnics were still created by humans.
and, well... even though they are machines, it resonates a bit too much on the real world and real people.
@@blind5211 the omnics have a self improving AI so at one point, they asked themselves " why do we have to take orders from these humans" and began their uprising.
@@randomcourier exactly we see Zenyatta and other other omnics as self aware beings which is a definition of people. However the uprising seemed to consist of puppet armies being sent out by self aware omnic leaders who had decided to use force instead of peaceful protest to try for rights.
I WAS SO WAITING FOR THIS!
Right in the feels, it always brings a tear
Now I'm happy. This episode is so simple, but so deep and touching. Honor and glory for all of us.
"I have been called, I must answer. Always." - gets me every damn time I watch this
I think I love this short so much because it really does speak to Reinhardt's sense of honor and duty and dedication. Like you touched on, young Reinhardt was still a hero, but he was too focused on the glory and praise his actions would bring to him rather than the deeds themselves, and the glory of simply doing what's right to protect Germany during the Omnic Crisis along with the other Crusaders. Hell, you saw him run off, NO HELMET, to dick around with 15 or 20 of the Bastion units instead of protecting his unit like Balderich told him to do. But once Balderich had to not only get him out of a jam but ultimately sacrificed himself so that what was left of the soldiers could get away/buy time for the German military's airstrike to come in, you could see and feel the shift taking place in Reinhardt's character. Like, you said, it was humbling; regardless of how unfair it was to Balderich to have to give his life for it to happen, the whole experience taught him that the greatest glory would come with upholding his duty as a member of the team rather than seeking individual satisfaction by being the big badass hero. That the greatest glory one could attain would be simply by being someone else's shield.
So, when they cut back to the present and he and Brigitte are standing in front of Balderich's resting place, undisturbed after all these years, and he echoes his master's words ("I have been called. I must answer."), you could tell that, despite the circumstances that led to his departure from Overwatch (which I believe are covered in more detail in one of the webcomics), he still felt like he had to uphold his duty, and as Balderich said, **to be their shield**. Because it was the right thing to do. Always.
Why did he leave OW? Was it when they were disbanded?
Warriors must make the biggest sacrifice for the greater good. Don't worry kat we all feel the same thing what your going through. Thank you 😭😢😌
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
-J.R.R Tolkien.
True
@TobeyFan1963 Deep very deep
I start to cry every time I see your reaction and what hits me particularly hard is that Reinhardt literally takes the words literally as he says be her shield and protects her as his shield fails with his own body and that grabs me so violently
When Reinhardt was young he had a great ego and wanted all the glory. When his friend wanted to sacrifice himself he finally understood the meaning of being a crusader. It isn’t about the glory of killing, but the honour of being the shield for others. He gave his hammer which he normally would never do because of his ego, so that was emotional (for the friend as well). So in honour for his friend he joined Overwatch and he will always answer the call for his fallen friend. In the game now hear him say “I will be your shield” so there is a deep story behind his words. You can still see Balderich’s body at Eichenwalde and I never knew that was Rein’s friend.
"I have been called. I must answer. Always." God that's such a good line
"The team needs you...Bee their shield" that quote sticks with me when im reinhardt
1986-2009 USN, I was called and I answered...not many of my brothers and sisters made it home, I did. And sometimes I wonder why.
I served in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, GMC SW ret.⚓️🇺🇸
Reinhardt learned a very hard lesson, that the ultimate honor is to give your life so others may live, glory follows only in the stories told later.
As a Vet I only ask that as Memorial Day gets closer, take a moment to remember those that gave their lives and didn't make it home.
god that short gets me every time i fell you katja this is a testamony to stand your ground and fight for what you trully believe and fight not always means that you have to pick up a weapon that is why i love Reinhardt he says himself i will be your shield
edit i love the feeling they have capture i never was a soilder but as a former paramedic i know what it feels like to be out there in the gray seeing the light and darkness
This short reminds us all what truly makes Reinhardt a real knight.
"I have been called...I must answer. Always..."
As a mid masters player +300h with rein, i love the frase "The team needs you, be their shield" that insignificant frase made me climb a lot of SR, never forguet you're a main tank, the one in the front line, the one who make pressure, the one who eats all the dmg, thats it... be their shield, keep it in mind, and be a real Reinhardt.
I cry everytime i watch this btw Q_Q
that wasnt a statue at the end. that was the body and the armor. the throne became his tomb
As someone in the military, we are taught to not give up, one of our key points. “You can not force someone to surrender, if you want to surrender than everyone must.” As a Cav Scout our flag which is red over white. It means “death before surrender.” Something a lot of us were taught in basic training and basically convinced that. I myself believe in that due to the fact I rather put my life down to the last breath of it means I can stop the enemy from moving forward even by a little.
I just wanted to say, that when Reinhardt gave his hammer to Balderich, he gave away his weapon, and gave up his ego for glory, and he took up the sheild, because he doesn't need a hammer to defend these soldiers, he just needs to be their shield. That is all, and everyone who reads this, have a wonderful day. Love with honor, die with glory.
"My mentor Balderich was born here! And . . . he died here."
~Reinhardt Wilhelm
"I must answer ALWAYS" the honor in one phrase
Honor and glory trailer reaction is finally here . Thank you so much Kat and I can’t wait for you to get deeper in the Overwatch universe😊❤️
5:36- 5:48 she's brigitte
Cinnamon Roll Brigitte :3 a deadly Cinnamon Roll xD
I was keeping myself together (barely) through this, then you said "Why... why can't just people get a long, you know?... why, why, why does there have to be so much hatred in the world like this?".
This broke me, in so many different ways. The world can be a cruel place at times, I hope for my children's sake that my generation is able to make this world a better place for them and the generations to come.
I LOVE THIS ANIMATION SOOOOO MUCH
"Live with Honor, Die with Glory" is the best line that both characters say before they go into battle makes me honor the crusaders
It's okay Katya, I cried too. This was so sad. I main Reinhardt as well, so it makes it even worse.
What do I love from this? It's simple. The honor. The humanity of their reactions. His answers at the end and what it actually represents: "I have been called", "I must answer. Always" that was perfect to me, and I cried at that moment, that honor. that respect, that humanity. It was just perfect. sorry for my bad english, and greetings from Spain. you're my favorite "reactioner" (?) cause I felt the same as you did in every short you reacted. looking for more reactions
Junkertown: The Plan? 😎
That was a very genuine reaction for this origin story of Reinhardt, and I agree that it's a sad one. For the question, "Why can't people get along?" That's always a question that is going to keep eluding us and it's not an easy question to answer. People discriminate against anything that is different from them, react violently when things go wrong, or don't share any wealth that is given to them, and often times, that little spark of resentment, anger, or greed can lead to conflict. I know where you are coming from, and trust me, I feel pained by the negativity, hate, and resentment towards one another, just like you, especially with the age we live in today. Many prayers and blessings go with you. God bless you.
The oceans are made of the tears of the world after watching this short.
Balderich is the only person that can be sacrificed 5 mins after being introduced to the world and make 99% of the people watching him cry.
Such a genuine, honest reaction is hard to come by.
And this cinematic brings a manly tear to my eye even today. Blizzard knows how to play with our feelings when they want to.
They certainly played with our feelings with Diablo.
That said this short leaves me sobbing every time.
The Brennan lolz. The shade is unreal
@@teamcybr8375 They didn't so much play with our feelings regarding Diablo as they made a physical entity out of them and decided to crush it under their heels, light it on fire, and then have a sausage party over it before dancing around said fire in a celeberatory, tribal manner.
Fan from Taiwan here.
I love how u are so emotionally touched by the animation, the story, and how u express ur feelings in front of the camera that directly, vividly and genuinely.
Also impressed by how much u can learn and interpret from a short story.
That is not common to see a YTber reacting and giving those feedback deeply from heart!
Lots of love
Balderich van Adler dies in the throne and the body and armor still there. He dies with glory and because that he stay there. Reinhardt is one of my favourite characters in Overwatch, this animated short makes me feel so happy and sensible with others. My country is so chaotic about the laws. And being friendly and help others is actually weird. We most learn more, be more humans.
I am a veteran and a police officer who doesn’t play the game but my 2 nephews play and I saw this short mini movie and this character reminded me of myself in so many ways. When you’re young you are carefree, fearless, and reckless, then there is a life changing, humbling moment that every person goes through that will change you as we all saw him change when he realized it was time to say goodbye to his friend. This video was a very deep and it captures the mindset of people who are in service and the sacrifices we have endured though out the years and at now even an older age will still go if called upon. Loved your reaction!!
Reinhardt will always be my favorite hero from overwatch :)
This is probably one of the best one since it shows Rein in a really believable way. Like, he doesn't want to answer because he wants fight or glory, if anything, he comes off as tired but he still do it because he has to, because of the memory of his friend. You can really see that this thing changed as, for all his bravado, he could not save his friend.
Unlike Mei who shrugged off several of her friends dying and world going to shit like nothing. Freaking psychopath.
just saying but, it's not a shrine, it's the same armor and balderich is still in there
Tbh thats a Bit disgusting
@@marcopolo8978 A crusader's armor is his tomb.
Yesss thank you for reacting on this video! I waited so long, and I cried with you! This one always hits me right in the feels, I couldn’t help it. Thank you so much for reacting to this one!
FINALLY!
Hey All Ages of Geek, I just want to say that video of yours is super emotionally beautiful. I mean, when you cried, i cried and I loved what you said about being a hero. I’m total Overwatch fan myself since a few years ago though I never played the game. Great honor watching you.
YAAAAAAY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOO LOOONG ❤️❤️
This short over all the others ran me through every possible human emotion and that was my favorite part of Honor and Glory. It also shows you were he got his signature line "I will be your sheild" every time he says it it's like a tribute to his friend and mentor. Just plane Amazing...
Could you give Star Wars the old republic trailers a look I think you’ll like them, I believe there is 4-5 of them
You never truly grow up until your innocence dissipates from your soul through the loss of someone close to you.
*You can fix a broken shield, but you can’t fix a broken heart.*
Junkertown: The Plan should really ease your heart and cheer you up a bit, i think :3 Take care girl >
Time for Junk Boy!
Probably the best cinematic ever.
Ma heart.... ma soul ;_;
This is my personal favorite shorts cause you get to finally understand what he means when he says I'll be your shield
If you're looking for a great group of misfits, I'd like to direct you to the Reds and Blues, of Red vs Blue.
Yes please!
It's happening!
11:24, that moment when your in a 1v1 and it's overtime and you have shatter, FAT 1K SHATTER, you can almost hear xQc screaming "ROLLED AND SMOKED MY DOGGIES."
i cry tooo (when i see much time ago) the best reaction. T_T
We need genuine fans full of heart like you in this world. We really live in a strange world where a story made on a computer by a team of people has the power to touch the hearts of millions all over the world, reaching them where nothing else could, and seeing your reaction gives me a glimpse of that kind of amazing potential creativity, imagination and the arts have for changing the lives of people for the better, and creating something that makes a better world than if it hadn't been made. I 'm making a web manga right now with a friend, but when it's out there in the world, I wish I'll have a fan like you. A fan like you is worth more than all the likes and shares in the world. It reminds me that I'm making something bigger than myself than can bring joy and comfort to someone, to give them solace in a bad situation and inspire them to do great things and love it too.
I've just found your channel, but I'm more invested in you with each video. As a creator, thank you for being such a wonderful person, Kat. Creators can make great things and keep going on knowing genuine people like you support and love the stories we share.
Love how he sacrifice himself for everyone else like me but not in war but in general.
For example:) My family struggle with money and i'm not the oldest but i'm the one who always sacrifice a meal and my mom told me not to do that but I don't care just as long as everyone else is okay around me😊
P.S: I'm only 20 and I been doing that every since I was a kid👍
Donte Tucker proud of u mate❤️
Thanks😊
I sacrifice my *"Happiness"* for my family and forever i will atone for the mistakes i made with them.I was cursed as an infant and to this day feel responsible for the constant series of unfortunate events that befall them every day..Yes i also come from poverty but i don't let it hold me back because i STRIVE til the day i can make amends.I CHERISH them ALWAYS since their parents did not do the same.Only til i was born did they finally attain *"Happiness"*
I mean this is weird because you can watch this video on something , So you Are not poor.
This is the first video of yours that I have seen and you bring out the inner nerd in me. It's amazing. While I'm quiet, you say all the things I am saying in the inside. I love it!
Finally!!!!!
Everytime rein slides out of the wall and pulls his shield up, timed with the music... the feels man
Now you know why Reinhardt is my favorite Char :D
What gets me everytime I watch this as their Crusader words "Live with Honor, die with Glory" was their final instructions to eachother . Also they said the same thing when they're called up by Overwatch: "I have been called, I must answer."
Ahh your making me cry with your crying, stop it plz
Reinhardt's buddy: Dies
Kat: Dies, but louder
What a good actress, in every video.....😒👏👏👏👏👏
yeah. that seemed pretty fake
her crying made me mad
You guys really are heartless are you? Feeling nice and comfortable scolding other from behind a screen? What's wrong with legit emotion?
@@MovieNukeG that's everything but not legit. That's overacting or rather overreacting. If you think I am heartless good for you. There's a difference between legit emotion and being overly dramatic. It is pretty easy to tell.
@@MovieNukeG do you really know someone that will cry like that in front of Overwatch ???
With hate comes peace with peace comes joy with joy comes love with love and happiness comes life
I shared honor and glory with my dad when I visited my parents during the pandemic shutdown and ever since we watched it we now either part ways or hang up our phones saying it.
Dad: Live with honor
Me: Die with glory
And sometimes it's the other way around. I lost him 1year later RIP Dad, I love you man. Die with glory.
You are very sweet and kind to say such things. I hope I never lose any of my friends from a gun fight but most of use are ready if we have to.
Bless you. I love this because it shows brothers in arms. It runs deep.
The contrast-
i have been called i must ask
this is a great honour
rein: i have been called i must ask
ALWAYS
I find this video ironically more emotional near the end because of that colored light in the background matching your emotional state.
Great job Cat! I really love it and think you're doing an amazing and wonderful job with these! Keep it up!
that really hit your feels right Cat, every Overwatch trailer has something to teach, and this is how one fight changes a man, that even if your almost dying you can still fight and win, will power is enough to change to world, but it all starts with one choice, you just need to choose
I really appreciate how you thank those who had to go to war, even though war is horrible. My dad served in Vietnam and it was a tough war, coming back to people hating on him. This cinematic is my favorite cinematic Blizzard has made of all time. I seriously picture the robots as our battles in life, and Reignhardt being us wanting to give it our all, but sometimes we need someone to come beside us and help us when we need a hand to get up. keep fighting with all we got. This cinematic encourages me even with my battle of depression I have those people in my life who have been my shield in tough time. Live with honor, and die with glory!!!
When I first watched this short, it reminded me of why my family and I volunteered to serve. Not for self but for others
I've just recently found your channel and since I'm a big fan of overwatch I started to watch it I'm not sure if you read any comments late if. Not that's fine but I've been watching your overwatch videos non stop and I love them but I'm not the person that usually shows emotions I'm 15 about to be 16 In a month and I have a lot of things rong with me my heart is cold and I shy away from crying bcs I never could for so long but watching you laugh smile cry and be sad in your videos and rewatching the videos with you it actually brought me to tears and I may just start to full on cry now I'm getting so emotional typing this lol 😢your beautiful don't let anyone tell you otherwise i just wanted to say I'm glad I found your channel I haven't cried in so long I've forgotten how it felt thank you so so Much consider me a long time fan starting as of today ❤️
I've watched this short like 5-10 times and I think this is the only time my eyes ever got that pre-tear tingle. Crying is effing contagious lol
it shows even the biggest most confident the toughest guy in the room has feelings and still has emotions
I recently discovered this channel and just wanted to say thanks for all the good content! It's nice to get a peaceful break from the madness that is TH-cam
Wow I just found your channel and seeing someone else have the same reaction I did to this is so heart warming . He is my favorite character and the lessons from this video I took to heart .Keep up the amazing work.and thank you so much ! You have a new follower now ❤️❤️
Why is this my favorite OW short?
I watched this short with my Dad. Who was fighting a massive infection in his heart. It had become so weak that it was hard for him to stay focused or coherent, but he managed to watch the whole thing. He loved OW's story because it reminded him of the three musketeers acting for the good of the people over the rule of a monarch. My Dad held it together enough to say Balderich's promise "Always" at the end of the short.
My father died a few months later. I lived 500 miles away, it was the last thing we did together.
"Be their shield." Something I have wanted to say to EVERY RIENHARDT MAIN EVER!!!!
my friend: why all beautiful humans must die?
me: if u are in a garden which flower do u choose?
my friend: the beautiful one...
Idk if you noticed it but i knew this when i saw the cinematic when it came out. the thing is that at 12:03 when reinhardt says "i have been called,i must answer,always" he says it in the honour of his friend when they go into the flashback at 5:58 and rein says "soo,your leaving." And balderich replies with "i have been called,i must answer" this made such a beatifull impact im really glad i still play the game
This, along with the last bastion, are the two shorts that made people cry. A lot.
I don’t even play this game but I just want to hug these characters. They’re so great. I’d watch an Overwatch animated movie in a heartbeat.
Those are true tears that I see those tears are from the heart. That is why I love watching your videos. Because they show that you are very much connected to this reaction. I always love to see people react to these videos with true emotions.
LIVE WITH HONOR DIE WITH GLORY
The thing that always gets me is how Balderich was determined to buy Reinhardt time to save his team, and he wasn't a cowards he face death with a honorable victory as a fighter he fight til the end and I also got sentimental how Reinhardt uses his own body as a shield right after the shield broke my tears and jaw dropped.
You saying " why can't people just get along why there has to be so much hatred in the world like this" should be a part of this trailer. it made it even better
TBH, this my NUMBER 2 best and MOST HEARTBROKEN reaction video by Katya. As a fan of Overwatch, I truly love that game. BTW, your Spider-Man finale was ultimately the #1 most heartbroken reaction and I truly felt it the most. Once again, keep up the most outstanding work. Pay no attention to the haters because you are 100% real... When you laugh, I laugh. When you cry, I cry. I'll continue to support your channel no matter what.
Hi I'm new to the squad, ^_^ I found you through your Dragons reaction. Rein is one of my favorite characters and this cinematic makes me love him even more, I play as Rein in the game so this hit hard. This cinematic shows how Rein became who he is, he fights not only because it's to save and protect people but to also honor his friend. When you use your shield he says "Don't worry my friends I will be your shield".
Also, note how the OR-14 was able to brace against Reinhardt's charge with its four legs. The OR-14s were _specifically deployed to counter the Crusaders._
