A lot has happened to Hanzo in Overwatch recently. Sonic Arrow nerf, removal of Scatter Arrrow, some new rapid fire ability. But what Blizzard might not realize is the things they are removing is what makes Hanzo such a legit ninja in the first place! That and his dark past with his old clan the Shimada. How legit? Gaijin's got the answer!

Let me clear this up. Out of character, I have dramatic mixed feelings about Genji. Genji is my favorite Overwatch character. I love his story, his concept, and his design. But he's not a historically good ninja. More on that in another video. That's why there is this conflict in the episode. It's my personal divide between loving Genji for who he is as a fictional character, and my weebish brain that wants to compare him to historical ninja.
Gaijin Goombah Media Nah, vato, it's all cool! We get you. Same with me and Medieval Fantasy. As much as I love it, as a HEMA enthusiast, I can't help but think: "How can this benefit from actual History?" I still enjoy them for what they are, it's just something that always comes to mind. XD
Hey Gaijin. Love your vids btw. Could you look into Paladins by Hi-rez? I think they have a really big culture hidden in The Realm. ^.^
It's still funny that Goombah, the cartoon not the human, wanted to throw down with Genji. It plays into the rage about the not so good ninja we saw back with Sonic. I figured the conflict was just a continuation of that characterization.
Can you do a video on the science of the “Naruto Run”
I can understand.
Hanzo may be the most legit *traditional* ninja in Overwatch, however the actual role of what would have been a ninja in old Japan falls to Sombra. Stealth, mobility, information gathering, weakening the enemy to take them down more easily, preparing the area to your advantage and assassination. Even her lore fits the basics of what ninja were all about: Erased all traces of her existence, uses the latest tech she can get her hands on and manipulates and intimidates people into playing into her hands.
She's not the clan-building type though.
This is fact.
You know, you should actually do the Spy from TF2 as a proper ninja: Nobody really knows what he looks like, he can disappear and reappear at an instant, can immediately disguise himself, can fake his own death and is perfect for sabotage and intelligence gathering. And is more for assinating specific targets as opposed to fighting everyone at once.
Dishonored, Corvo attano, Emily Kaldwin, Daud and Billy lurk.
Watch_Doges, h4x.
Do it.
Everyone knows that all the best ninja were Spanish!
yeah do sombra and spy or maybe skye (from paladins) for upcoming episodes of which ninja
Next time on Death Battle: Genji Vs Gaijin Goombah
That part was funny
Wslasher
Next episode is a Diss Track.
Ya beat me to it mate.
Top 10 Anime Fights
Gaijin wins obviously! He has the knowledge, he'd kill that F@
Loved the ending skit with Genji.
I wanna see Goombah and Genji fight! To patreon!
Hunter Jaeger agreed, that animation would be sick.
DEATHBATTLE!!!
Hell yeah
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Hunter Jaeger yess please
Genji, "I have a sword that summons dragons!"
Gaijin Goombah, "Oh Yeah, I have COLD, HARD, CUTTING FACTS XBONES!!!!!
I have a suggestion. Maybe for a future episode you could do either Sly Cooper or his Japanese ancestor, Rioichi.
WilliamSchmidNetwork Yes!
that Sounds like a GREAT Idea; after all, It's Rather Conflicting for a PUBLICLY Renowned Sushi Chef WITH HIS MASK ON; To actually go out doing the Work of Shinobi in the Shadows, since Someone would recognize him and possibly Rat him out(like what happened to Zenjubo Sugitani; when an ally of Oda Nobunaga, aka Isono Kasumasa had found & ratted him out, and he got punished by Being Decapitated with Dull Bamboo sticks over the course of SEVERA DAYS) as such; I'm highly Dubious that that Tanooki Shinobi would've ever lived by the point he had till Clockwerk killed him(as well as Every single Cooper until Sly took him down) if The World of Sly cooper in Japan were as really at the time of the Era of Shinobi.
New3DSLUIGI364 You must be fun at parties
WilliamSchmidNetwork OMG YES PLS
As a total Sly Cooper fangirl, I cannot say yes enough
Goombah vs Genji when?
Phillip Everett
screwattack: we need candidates for dbx
me:
I still think of Ryu Hayabusa as a ninja of the irregular guerrilla warfare variety. Even having a reputation would be yet another tool at his disposal.
"I wouldn't have gotten caught if I wasn't sick!" Oldest John in history. :P
Genji: "Kakugou!"
Gaijin Goomba: "Let's do it, Xbox mutha-BEEEP!!!" I almost died laughing!
*The Most Accurate insult ever thrown at a fictional character* 😂
I Wonder why The Shiitake Shinobi has a Grudge against The Cyborg Shimada?!!
Ok, now we HAVE to see Genji in the next Which Ninja. Patreons, make it happen, please!
"Let's do this xbox Mother*****!"
Now THAT was amusing.
I would love to see a "Which Ninja" over the Tenno in Warframe. They were modeled after ninjas. And Warframe's tagline is even "Ninjas play free".
Look at Loki especially: A stealth frame with the abilities of *Decoy*, *Switch Teleport*, *Cloak*, and *Radial Disarm*. He is very fast and agile as well.
The main progression system is based around the idea of "Mastery". Hence why your main level is called *Mastery Rank*. And experience points are called "Affinity". You gain Affinity for all of your gear and that levels them up, which in turn levels up your MR. You then take a Mastery Test in order to actually rank up. So the game emphasizes mastery of all manner of weapons and frames in order to level up.
You can also make your very own Clan and build a Dojo.
Plus the game is free, so there is little excuse to not at least try it out. It is one of the best F2P games ever.
Love the video, GG. Keep up the great work!
Josh Unplugged yep
This was an interesting video, as I love your overwatch vids, and you kept showing off the ninja lore both Genji and Hanzo have, it'll be interesting to see you derail it for Genji, but awesome video!
Ninja crime gangs!!! Like the foot clan!!
Robo Brad coincidence I think not
Oh man TMNT makes more sense now.
He's done that both the Turtles and Foot Clan
"soup can" lol. i cracked up when those 2 behaved as if they were going to fight each other.
Question: Can the TF2 Spy be considered a "ninja" due to his weapon set?
Just curious...
Watch the meet the spy video... It displays that he is quite scary.
The end was really done there, I enjoyed that a lot ☺️
I still love how mini goombah called Genji a soup can, that was hilarious. I'd like to see that battle, actually XD
"YOU GOT LUCKY THIS TIME, SOUP CAN"
Will we ever get to see the Tenno of Warframe? :(
Yes in time!
LukeFurno We need that
Gaijin Goombah Media please, after watching some of your videos the warframe Ash has a very ninja kit, from my perspective.
Ash is the real ninja of the tenno... But I'd really like a look at vauban. His gadgets are really cool
Actually, that's brilliant. I would love to see Gaijin go through each of the Warframes or stick with Ash or Excalibur. But not all of them, just some he likes. And how do each of the Warframes fit certain Ninja.
3:16 see this Kinotchi, her fighting next to naked was awesome commitment to the job.
Yeah cuz screaming out RYU GA WAGA TEKI WO KURAU is what every Ninja does.
Prophet Well I don't think it'd matter if the targets are dead.
Hero LumiEre Lumanite but litterally everyone around him would know exactly where he is
HANZO PLEASE SWITCH
thanks, i needed a smile
never!- upon those words gets a team kill-
No.
I'm gonna go aplay torbjorn
Now these are the best Which Ninja episodes, revealing new aspects and techniques about ninja history & techniques that werent covered in previous vids!
that genji goomba rivalry was hilarious
That near battle with Genji was so funny! Someone was soo " Salty "... ;) Anyways loved the video, hope your future trip goes well!
Goombah and Genji going at each other is everything :D
I think you just gave me inspiration for my next D&D character: A "Ninja" Arcane Archer Kenku!
I wonder how well Scorpion, Sub-zero and Raiden (from metal gear) will fare in their episodes
Sub-zero was alien from the beginning, Scorpion ninjitsu end on using kunai as a weapon, and Raiden is more a techno-samurai.
alien? where u get that?
darkservantofheaven Raiden is literally in the intro for this series under bad ninjas. How do you think he’s going to do?
@darkservantofheaven
They are from race of people from Outworld.
@H240909
Exactly.
Oh my god that Genji scene was just perfect 😂😂😂
“You got lucky this time soup can😒”😂 This was so fascinating! I love this series so much!!
Just got back from a trip to Japan! After finding out about the Iga-Ryu museum from your channel I finally went there! Can’t wait for more from you!
XD I loved that fight between Goombah and Genji. Can't wait to hear your discussion on him!
I about pissed myself in laughter at the Genji/Goomba stand-off when Goomba said, 'Let's do this, XBOX muthaf***a!' XD
Also I just wanted to say that I really enjoy this show and appreciate the amount of research you put into it and the others on your channel. Can't wait to see more!
Love,
A fan.
❤✌
That was wonderful man. Your face off with Genji rocked.
5:49 Gajin Goombah killed a hater. Perfect timing too.
Good ole' Hanzo I knew we would get to him eventually love the history behind ninja bows and arrows
loved that little clash between Goombah and Genji, I can't wait to see the full battle and I'd support these videos but my lack of funds prevent me from supporting this content.
As of now, we have done 3/4 of the good ninjas. Only scorpion is left.
"You got lucky this time soup can" lolz XD
“You got lucky this time soup can”
i am long time lurker and much enjoy how precise and how accurate your research is keep up the good work my friend
7:59 i wanna see Goombah & Genji actually go at it!
Amazing video I like how the Kiki-dsutsu is essentially a cup to the wall simple but works
It's nice to learn about overwatch when your roommate isn't screaming at it 24/7
Hidden Phantom from MegaMan zero series please.
yisss
Gaijin called Genji 'soup can' and I almost fucking died
Me during the potential fight scene: Mortal Kombat!
Genji and Little G going at it! I'D PAY TO SEE THAT!!! That was hilarious. Keep up the great work, Gaijin. And don't forget to be awesome, just by being you.
Excellent video as always! I hope he does a video on the history on fireworks, I’d love to see the history of how they became what they are today
with that ending, I REALLY wanna see Genji up on the block next.
Talking about Hanzo just reminds me how demonstrably hyped I am for the Retribution event. It's gonna be so siiiiiick.
Either way, really great video, as always, Goombah. Fantastic research and knowledge. Much love.
How appropriate that you release a video about Hanzo the same day they revealed the new skin for him for the Retribution event.
the gaijin goomba / genji rivalry is now canon in my book! Made me laugh I love it!
I love that ending skit.
That’s prefect Gaijin vs Genji that’s so funny please do more
love your content man!
Hanzo even has some Soran Bushi moves, too!
NEXT TIME ON DEATH BATTLE!!!
Recently I noticed that this video isn't in the which ninja playlist. I wonder if that was unintentional or if it was because of the recent Blizzard (conpany) controversies?
Sick bro!!! An awesome video about my boi Hanzo!!! Thanks man!!! :D
So, I should've probably said this WAY earlier, but this video back when I watched it back over 2 years ago helped me discover what is now my favorite social media platform of all time. so, uh, thanks goombah!
8:15 ( I can see it now ) " NEXT TIME ON DEATH BATTLE "
That Little G and Genji is hilarious. Can't wait for that fight.
All we need now is to have you cover Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat series
Makes me wonder how well Garrett from the Thief series would hold up. I think he would stand up well as a ninja.
While not a ninja or trained by any he did train under a mysterious secret organisation, The keepers, who valued information above all else and had where not shy about getting it through illegal means. His toolkit would fit a a ninja quite well if a bit much for one person in a real life situation.Among these are a blackjack to knock out unaware opponents, a sword if lethal force was necessary, blinding flash bombs and an array of utility arrows on top of simple broad head ones. Rope arrows to climb to out of reach locations, arrows with a water payload to dowse open flames, arrows with an explosive replacing the tip, noisemakers for distractions, "moss" arrows to cover loud surfaces with silencing mossy goop or to crack on opponents faces causing violent coughing. The fire and moss devices where available as mines as well.
Once he get a mechanical replacement body part in the sequel it is one that would make a ninja green with envy; one eyeball is replaced with a mechanical prosthetic that he can place or throw and see through remotely. He also dresses well for the job with darker blue colors for the first two games and dark leathers for the third, pretty good for a dirty and rusty steampunk city.
I did not know these thing thanks for bringing this to my knowledge
I like how Gomba says how Genji shouldn't be able to unsheathe his sword with out it glitching through his sheath, when he shouldn't be able to hold *his* sword, as he doesn't have arms
XD man Goombah trying to throw down with Genji was golden
and on the note of the kiki-dsutsu, and the OW hanzo projectile version, upgrading and experimenting with weaponry and thus adapting to new tech, is A if not THE ninja way.
The rotagonist from a game called Arigami (awesome game btw) fits perfectly into the ninja thing. Even if he's not called a ninja. He does kills a lot, but you can hide the bodies at some point or simply sneak around tho...
Speaking of the intro, I have a suggestion. When you get around to covering Yuffie, instead of covering just her, I think you should cover the Ninja class across Final Fantasy as a whole. Since recurring classes in Final Fantasy like to share elements and abilities between iteration, including characters based on those classes with the Ninja class being no exception, it would probably save you a lot of time in the long term to tackle those abilities and how they are represented as a whole, rather than making individual videos tackling each Final Fantasy ninja one at a time with each being almost identical in terms of abilities.
Do an analysis of the rouges in World of Warcraft.
Ooooh, Genji and Goombah have a rivalry? This'll be good XD
Have you ever considered doing a video about the relation between American/Italian westerns and Samurai films? The similarities between the two eras are pretty interesting, there's even a voice interaction in Overwatch where Hanzo referrers to Mcree as ronin. Just something you might find interesting.
I was about to say "didn't you already do an episode on both Shimadas?" And then I remembered that was before which ninja was a separate series.
Huh. How fitting to see an ad for the new Overwatch uprising event on a video about overwatch characters.
“...packed enough bang to take down a castle wall.”
You might want to add more detail to what type of castle wall you’re talking about. Is it a wooden wall or a proper sturdy stone wall?
I dont know if anyone suggested this yet or not, but may I suggest researching the game Warframe, its an mmo that for lack of any better description is space ninjas with powered ninja armor, each different armor has a history to it to the game's own 'world lore' considering it is a future time kind of thing. Not only that but some of the armors, which by the way are called Warframes (Yes original I know, not knocking on Digital Extremes for it just saying it feels 'obvious'.), have their own unique abilities ranging from being tied to Fire, Frost, Wind, Electricity, Sound, Music, Healing, Combat Medic [Damage dealing healer], to infestation, to sand, and even other abilities that are more complex than simple elemental or single word descriptors. But each Warframe has a purpose and the lore is slowly getting deeper and more complex and I do not wish to spoil things here in this suggestion. But it would be nice to see your take on a 'Future where ninja warriors are people with superpowers and suits that change their power sets' ends up in your opinion.
and just like that gaijin is now my favorite character on youtube.. PERIOD!!!!!!!!
I'd be SHOCKED if Gaijin Goombah made a video about Garrett from the Thief series.
Great video, though I don't play OW.
I have a suggestion for a future Which Ninja, even though it might come off as too basic or too obscure: Do you know Pucca: Funny Love? It's a (VERY cute) Korean cartoon which has a ninja in it named Garu. I think he might have some stuff going on with him and it'd be interesting to see an evaluation of him.
*Oooh*, I remember Pucca.
She loves Garu X)
Do you think you could do an episode on Mush-shi? Nothing about ninjas, but there's a LOT of cool things to look at and if you could analyze... Well, ANYTHING from it, that'd be amazing.
goomba:You wanna F**king go GENJI!!!Genji: COME ONguys stop fighting
Have fun in Japan, wish I could go too, would love to check out the Festival one of these years...
Genji made an account to dislike this video.
(1 dislike at the time of this comment.)
HsinHao Wang
He then proceeded to make 13 more (14 at time of my comment)
It was Hanzo because no one should hurt his bro (except for him)
HsinHao Wang He just made 28 more
He then made 35 more
And the 44
I'm hyped for Lil' G vs Genji XD
I found amino through this vid. It's been 3+ years now.
I love that fricking ending
My little Goomba friend, look at you next to the real life version.. How cool you are.
I keep hearing that "sad music" (RIP scatter arrrows segment) in RUclips videos, but it's driving me crazy that I don't know its source.
Hey, I'm a writer and I thought of a few lyrics to go with your intro tune.
Some ninja are bad
Some ninja are good
Some ninja I've never
Quite Understood
But please stick around
And we'll break it down
With me, (your host) Gaijin Goombah!
P.S. I have been a long time fan of ninjas and I love that you differentiate fact from fiction. My idea of what a ninja is like feels more realistic now thanks to you.
New Hanzo skin looks more like a business man
The Genji bit at the end XD
Hey Gaijin, with the upcoming "Retribution" event featuring Genji as a member of Blackwatch, do you think we'll be seeing some more references to ninja history?
