Overwatch: Zarya's Unlockable Voice Lines in Every Language
This is my 17th entry for an Overwatch playlist where I go through every playable characters' speakable language.
This time, I focus on the huge, burly, weightlifting woman from Mother Russia who, like Zangief, wrestles bears, as well as contesting with Chun-Li for the strongest woman in the world: Aleksandra Zaryanova. Zarya, for short.

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.

NOTICE: As noted by a few of my viewers, from my 1st video (Tracer) to my 15th (Reinhardt), I have incorrectly used the flag of Portugal to represent Portuguese in this game even though it's of the Brazilian variation. I also mistakenly used the Chinese flag for both Chinese languages despite that Traditional Chinese is supposed to be represented by the Taiwanese flag. The last few videos I have of this will have both the Portuguese and T.Chinese flags changed to their correct ones of Brazil and Taiwan.
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.

Zarya's Voice Line "Together, We Are Strong" has her speak Russian in almost every language option, and several of her in-game lines has her speak Russian, too. However, the only one of her voice actresses that shares her race is the Russian one, herself. Despite the very convincing Russian accent and speech, Zarya's English voice is actually Bulgarian.
