Overwatch: Hanzo's Unlockable Voice Lines in Every Language
My 8th entry for a playlist where I go through every playable characters' speakable language.
This time, I focus on the older, wiser, and more serious of the two honorable ninja dragon brothers, torn by the regret of his assassination of his own brother in the name of their family's honor, and the subsequent anger and desire for redemption fueled by the realization of his brother's survival: Hanzo Shimada
------------
Some things to note:
1. The text of the Voice Line in English does not necessarily match what the character says in a different language. For example, Tracer's "You Need A Time Out" line in Polish has her singing, instead, which does not exist in any other language option.
2. My laptop isn't top notch. There will be times where I have to run over the same Voice Line again because it didn't load and play out the first time around.
3. English will always be the first language of the video as a reference point. I will make the 2nd and potentially the 3rd language the one or ones that closely matches the hero's own ethnicity if their language is in the game. So I can't apply this to everyone, mainly with characters who would likely have English as the first language in Real Life.
4. Some characters will speak a different language regardless of whatever spoken language the game is currently set on, including the standard English, though this doesn't apply to every language in the exact same frequency. You can mostly hear this with Widowmaker's French and Genji's Japanese. In fact, Widowmaker's English and French voice actresses are one in the same, as are Mei's English and Simplified Chinese. However, Genji's are not, so he will speak some Japanese with his English voice and some of his other voices, but only Japanese with his completely different Japanese voice. You follow me, correctly?
5. There are extremely rare occasions when a Voice Line may not be dubbed into a different language at all. When this happens, it is almost always when a character's English Voice Line has them say it in a different language, anyway. So these instances in alternate audio will just default to the regular English version of the Voice Line which, again, will still be the English VA saying something in a different language.
6. I have planned and made all of the game's characters minus Ana together. Every character video before her will have been made before this game's "Summer Games" patch, which has included new Voice Lines for everyone.
I will also list every characters' voice actors as much as I can. At this point, the TV Tropes Wiki is listing every characters' VAs, so I will base this off of what I found there and keep updating them as I need to.

I've accidentally labeled Portuguese and T.Chinese with the flags of Portugal and China instead of the flags of Brazil and Taiwan. Look at my playlist link below for more of these videos for the correct flags starting with Lucio.
Like Genji, Hanzo also speaks Japanese outside of his actual Japanese voice actor. However, this is much, MUCH less common than Genji, as it is only really heard for his "Sake!" voice line (Sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink) and his Ultimate cry of "RYU GA WAGA TEKI WO KURAU!"
