Fun fact, the reason she loves doughnuts is because in Japanese folklore, a Kitsune (Fox Spirit) who possesses a girl in particular, tends to make them crave sweets. : )

Kiriko's mom (Asa) is also Hanzo and Genji's sensei, so seeing her daughter handle business is like a kind of graduation for her.

Kiriko realizing the little girl is “growing up so quickly” helps her understand how her own mom feels about her. So well written!

Fun fact, the guy with the big pompadour hair wanting to call for back up, is the same guy from Hanzo's Cinematic short who ran into a bell while trying to call for back up there too. Kiriko's short is definitely one of my favorites now, I love her character how she is very friendly and caring but is completely ruthless when it comes to protecting innocent people.

I loved the inclusion of having a deaf character in this cinematic. I also love that they chose to have them communicate via Japanese Sign Language vice American Sign Language.

Easily she became one of my favorite characters in like one day just everything about her is amazing glad you guys enjoyed her cinematic

In canon, after the Shimada Clan fell (Hanzo and Genji respectively) the Hashimoto Clan took over the area with an iron fist, Kiriko and her friends decided to band together to fight back to reclaim the area. Also Kiriko's mother was the one to teach Hanzo and Genji swordsmanship when they were younger, so Kiriko knows them.

Fun fact:when kiriko hits the fire extinguisher the song says “look away” and kiriko actually looks away details like these make the cinematic even better

4:35 I've never seen Bethany so serious in a reaction before

The "Look Away" lyrics single handedly made that fight scene. Blizzard honestly doesnt miss a beat.

In the game her ultimate ability creates a road in front of her with those blue archways, and being on that road makes her teammates move and attack much faster, so I guess it inspires fighting spirit in others even little girls and old janitors xD

As someone else said on the original video, "Start a gang war, then leave." LOL It's worth adding that the arches are Kiriko's ultimate in the game and it powers all her allies standing in it (faster shooting, movement, and reload time). As such, the video shows how it empowers even innocent civilians to combat readiness.

Man Kiriko is a fox you don’t want to mess with and her combat was so flawless 😄 also it seems amazing that the song that plays during her dear daredevil fight is catchy with the blows given to the enemy

Fun fact Hanzo, Genji and Kiriko trained together when they were younger, would be very cool to see they fighting together as adults

I am so happy you guys made a video on this ... I really wanted to see your reaction on this you guys are truly the best

I've rewatched this cinematic more times in 5 days, than any of the other cinematics in 5 years, I absolutely *_LOVE_* this short! (Crazy how I didn't really care for it at first😅)

Bethany's natural reaction to the wrong being done to the innocent speaks to her heroic spirit. Kiriko was able to deliver what she was feeling! I was able to ride the emotions again alongside you two. FACE KICKING TIME 🦊🥊🍩

I was waiting for this reaction! Kiriko is such a cool character glad you guys watched it

Been waiting for you to react to this. Thanks for dropping this video, guys.

Ken getting hype while Bethany is giving them the death stare as Kiriko whoops ass rofl

This channel gives me new insights into my favorite cinematics - you two have a knack for picking up on details I never noticed, like the “mother choosing to give Kiriko the chance to stand on her own” observation.

Love how the music bangs perfectly with the fight

Been loving these shorts and Kiriko is another great character. Someone else to try out as a main

Really awesome short, enjoyed watching your reactions as usual. Thanks for the content!

Yesssss! I was so excited to see your reaction as soon as I saw this cinematic myself!

I watched all of your other reactions to the Overwatch cinematics a while ago and subscribed because I liked you guys so much, so happy you guys are still doing it.

I was looking forward to the Kiriko short! and nice to see you guys react to it : )

Kiriko is already my new favorite hero. She is so amazing, sweet, and badass enough for everything. A true definition of an Overwatch Hero.

it's such a beautiful cinematic and Kiriko has so become my favorite personality and all

I was waiting for this!! So happy you guys did this so soon :) And I always appreciate your analysis of it afterwards! Best duo on KZfaq 🥰

Been waiting for this reaction! They need to make an Overwatch Movie or Netflix series

The kid is def gonna be the next tank hero

Was waiting for you guys to upload this one! ❤️ Ty

I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS SO MUCHHHHH!!! thank you guys so much for finally reacting to this :) you guys really make my day so much. i’ve been struggling mentally so much but man the positivity you guys bring to your vids are so great. please never stop, i’m so proud to be a what seems to be already a long time subscriber ❤️

Kiriko's lobby theme is sooo damnn good!!

This is the character I play most often, I love how they absolutely show off what you can do in the best circumstances. Most of the time you're just throwing out healing scrolls, but I bought the K-Pop skins so I'm mostly throwing out healing Concert Tickets and Disco ball cleansing grenades.

I was waiting to see your reaction to this! Also made me cry :')

been thinking about this video all day, 9:30pm classes finally over time to sit back and watch the kiriko short for like the 50th time

So, it seems that the Hashimoto Clan were the ones who took over Shimada castle in Dragons.

I was waiting for your reaction on this. Thanks 🙏

I just found your channel and went on a bing of watching reactions. I like your analysis at the end

I was hoping for this video, thank you so much ❤🎉❤🎉

Kiriko is an amazing addition to the support team

Kikiro is such a creative character overwatch has needed for YEARS!!! I’m so happy with her

I was waiting for you guys to react to this

Having watch it yet til u guys post this, always fun to react overwatch with u guys❤

I feel like having a mom who can use "You do know I have a sword, right?" as an argument probably doesn't lose too many of those xD Also the guy in the mask (which I think is an oni mask) who ends up shooting the grandpa gives of rather strong vibes of being most likely new to the gang he is with, I'd say he is either new or has mostly experienced ppl being pushovers because of the gangs reputation (hence why he repeats the name) and in both of those cases I feel it's probably unlikely that he has ever killed someone before, or at least not by his own hand which is probably why he reacts so strongly too it. It's rather common that ppl in those kinda circumstances can be showing off to appear tough and then when the magnitude of something like that finally sinks in some of them just actually can't cope with it to well. I don't know how it works for japanese street gangs or organized crime but for quite a few of the organized groups that do extortion and money lending stuff the main tactic is that you wanna scare ppl into paying without having to resort to killing them as a dead customer is not gonna be a repeat customer.

My favorite reaction from you guys!

First, Love you both !! Second, Love your reactions on these cinematics. Third, I absolutely enjoyed watching Bethany's face and reaction during the whole cinematic and espcially at 4:31 , she was so pissed. She wanted to kick that Hashimoto-san's face so hard !!! Once again love you both, and love your reactions.

Aaaah was waiting for you guy's to react to this video so that we would react at the same time! love you!

i love the analysis of the bad guy in shock, i think he wouldn't care as much if this was someone who was shooting back at him but it was a unarmed innocent person he just wanted to threaten for information

i dont think he was horrified by the gunshot, i believe he was able to see kiriko

oh wow i was literally JUST looking for this! happy to be here before notificatione lol, happy to see you guys got to this one!!

Holy crap they’re reacting to this as well? Awesome! I watch their dbd stuff, but I’m so happy to see them covering some Overwatch!

I Love your reactions ^^

Remember - the Fox spirit can block bullets *and* balance your bloodsugar! All-purpose spirit! Donuts are totally fine! (also gotta love the *TERRIFYING* Fox-Spirit-Empowered little deaf girl!)

it made me cry and i don't even play overwatch or know about their universe, they know how to make good cinematic shorts

I didn't really think of the horror in his face being from shooting the old man but seeing Kiriko doing supernatural things for the first time. It's after he got shot that she started teleporting around in front of them. But that's a cool aspect that I hadn't thought of

I rlly love how are u both picking up the little details and talking about them as well as your reactions are so precious ❤. If u wanna dive deeper down into characters and their relationships with each other i recommend to watch Hero interactions.😍 You can find them on YT.Gives a bit of lore too.Kiriko is so fun to play and she is the first support to get her own cinematic. ^^

4:36 OMG she is angry? 😳 She is adorable and really cute🙊❤ OK she is PERFECT !!!❤❤❤❤

So glad you guys watched it! Blizzard really needs to make an Overwatch movie

Definitely and definitive on my top 3 as well! I absolutely loved it! The was heartfelt, epic, funny AND hilarious! Def a good make up from the Junker Queen one which was a bit underwhelming. Amaazing Also fun fact. Kiriko's mom trained both Hanzo and Genji (from the dragons cinematic) as well. Top 3 cinematics for me at this time is 1. Dragons 2. Kiriko 3. Reinhardt (honorable mention would be Bastion's cinematic)

Love Kiriko! One of my favorite healers in Overwatch 2 next to Mercy

Despite the fact that the launch of the game has been abysmal, and the business practices just scream greedy executives have their hands all over the game. I've been enjoying the actual gameplay changes of Overwatch 2 SO much. Kiriko is absolutely my favorite support character to play, and has gotten me more into the role then any other hero. She's such a good mix of being a great support character when the team needs her and a decent DPS character to get some sneaky picks when they don't need the healing. Her gameplay of being able to teleport around the map is so satisfying when getting out of bad situations or going in deep with your team to help clean up the enemy team. Kiriko, Junker Queen, and Sojourn have all knocked it out of the park with the amount of fun I've had with them easily.

This trailer always makes me tear up

this is probably one of the most badass cinematics they created

Every overwatch characters animation is just as good as a Pixar movie, animation is always great and the story is the best.

this one is soo touching. i love this one

Wow love the intro i don't know how long you already have this haha but i like it 🥂👍

Thank you very much for watching) I'm glad you liked it)

such a good video ! as always :D

I am so glad you people liked it! I recall typing about it x3 my fav one, been maining her in game ever since overwatch 2 came out!

Hello again :D I also love watching over watch and playing it!

it's probably all been explained really well by now but just in case: kiriko's mum is a great sword fighter she is one of the ppl who taught hanzo and genji when they were young. kiriko also trained with them so they are like family friends they see her as a little sister/niece type figure. kiriko learned to use blades (kunai) from her mum and healing skills from her grandmother. that paper that dissolved into the grandad is a healing charm. the hashimoto are an infamous crime syndicate and rivals to the shimada (dragon brothers family clan). kiriko is also possessed by the kitsune (fox spirit). the fox spirit is essentially like the gate keeper to the spirit world/underworld almost like a cross between the grim reaper and spirit of vengeance. at the end she summons the torri gates (spirit gates) and forms that path which channels spirit energy. any ally on that path also channels energy hence why the kid and grandad got braver and stronger. the western equivalent would be the grim reaper summoning phantoms to chase u... terrifying. oh and ppl possessed by the kitsune in ancient lore are said to have an insatiable sweet tooth hence the doughnuts more beautiful rich overwatch lore 😃

This was such a great video to watch! I loved that bad guy's line of, "I don't want to get kicked in the face. I'm going to call for backup!" It was just so funny. I doubt those guys will mess with the grampa or the little girl ever again. Lastly, I don't know if you noticed but your green shirt was pretty close to the color of her green hair. Lol!

I’d love to see a reaction to all of the different overwatch 2 hero interactions including kirikos

emotional rollercoaster :) the BANG! moment... and then the cry of the child shock me. Untypical for Overwatch cineamtics. Very strong cinematic!

That young girl is protected by the fox spirit too I noticed her eyes glowed like Kirikos

Not sure if you recognize, but the gangster with the pompadour hairdo was also in a previous Overwatch cinematic, “Dragons”. He was the goof that ran into the giant bell in a panic when his phone was shot out of his hand by Hanzo. Guy just couldn’t catch a break. Not that he deserved one… 😂

Lets gooooooo 😊

Not gonna lie I've never been a huge OW fan but as SOON as I get a console again I'm downloading this game because of the quality of this short

All the short take place in maps that are in the game. I like that detail.

I've seen it almsot 10 times now and I cry every time

I like the bad guys weren't all idiots, like the guy who was trying to call for backup, that was likely the smarter call, it wouldn't have helped but he was at least smart enough to know they might be in trouble.

Kiriko is fun to play. Don’t think I’m getting the best out of her yet but dropping kitsune rush on that final push to complete the objective is immensely satisfying.

Kiriko bought 3 boxes of doughnuts. The two pizzas were from her mom as part of the groceries.

Glad I recommended best cinematic?? 💕💕

"if you cry, i gonna cry" and all gonna cry

5:18 😆 😆 you guys are awesome

Kiriko's fun to play in the game. Doesn't do all the punching and kicking, but she does throw those knives (called kunai) to good effect if they land in the face lol.

Love your reactions, keep on being in love and awesome!

litteraly I was asking my self when you were gonna react on this one 30 min ago xD

That was some studio ghibli style art

She is definitely my favorite support now and she is even fun to play. Issue is now she make the other supports feel plain and the cinematic is definitely in my top 3

A mix of Disney/Pixar + Tarentino film stuff xD it is awesome!!

So this one is going on my favorite list of Overwatch trailers with "Honor and Glory," "Kiriko," "Dragons," "Shooting Star," "Rise and Shine," "Infiltration," "Reunion," "Hero," and "Recall." So I thing you should do your own list. So my little is not in order other then Honor and Glory, but Kiriko is in the dog house because my daughter walked into kitchen and ask to see what I was watching. So I got down no the floor and started the video over again and now Blizzard Entertainment better made a stuff fox or there will be heck to pay. See saw it and everyone could of died horrible at that moment and she would not blink an eye. So like her mom. Loved the reaction. A note Karen thought that you both where mad at Kiriko when the grandfather was shot, I fixed that she knows who you where mad at now. So STAY SAFE and have a great day. 👍

Kiriko has a ragtag group called yokai. Kiriko wears a kitsune mask, while others wear masks based on a tanuki, amabie, kappa, kasa-obake, and oni, respectively. Kiriko mom brought the pizza where kiriko brought 3 boxes of donuts

I love the music

Also part of the lore is that the Hashimoto clan was the family that took over Hanamura from the Shimada clan when Hanzo left after thinking that he killed Genji when ordered by the elders after Genji refused to become an assassin for the Shimada clan. So there is a chance that the Hashimoto will have a character that will appear in Overwatch 2 as either a playable character or part of the PvE experience when that launches.

That little girl wanted all the smoke and none less
