Can we just appreciate the sheer dedication of the wounded soldier at the end? He's injuried, his buddy is dragging him, there's a wall of bastion behind them about to kill them and he still gives them every ounce of fight he can.
The main issue is usually not Rein, but the idiots who run off. You have no idea how often a soldier will run past you and stand right befor the shield. like wtf, man.
Wow, I was sad during the bastion and mei cinematic, by this one really got tears running. This really hit the feels, but I think we can all agree that the blizzard animators have outdone themselves
OW Crysis i reckon its because Rehin was like us when we play him, crazy wanting to fight constantly, instead of defending his team like his master always wanted him to. Like blizzard wants us to. Like being a healer, we have a Call, and we must answer XD
Its story of old soldier who is smiling on the outside, but inside is still full of regret of his past mistakes. Reinhardt is still trying to proof himself that death of his mentor and friend was not in vain and he will continue to do so until his last breath.
George Sampson I dont see any because they are just showing us the backgrounds mainly because I dont think they will make a movie or show on this so they are giving us something
This, this is why I am a Reinhardt main. This is why I have his Golden, Jade, Hard Light, and Bound Demon weapon skins. This is why I FIGHT. For a better meta, for a better Overwatch!
no fam the entire freaking point of the video was that you shouldn't charge rigth in man because that's how your friends die when they try to bail you out. i hope you learned your lesson, young man.
I love the Crusaders because of how the show the spirit of the warrior. Like Reinhardt yes at first he is very cocky and arrogant. Like a middle school student. But it's through Baldrick (and losing eye plus almost his life) he learns what to means to be a warrior. And you can feel a student, mentor relationship between the two but when the mentor saves the student, how does Reinhardt thank him? "I had this!" It's only when he's presented with the situation that could end with his mentor dying or Everyone dying Reinhardt hides his bravado and acts truly remorseful. And after Reinhardt leaves you have to wonder what does his Baldrick think when he puts on that helmet. THAT moment. Nothing else. When in battle you have to think of the moment, not the past, not future, you think of anything else you won't be able to win. The past is past, no point in dwelling on it. Death comes in the future. And death is the end. The final threshold. Baldrick thinks "it's just me and them" and Reinhardt goes to protect his people even after his barrier has broken he shields his team with himself. The Crusaders are true warriors.
A couple things... 1: I want that young Reinhardt skin 2: I want that Omnic Crisis Orisa Skin 3: I want a second ultimate for Reinhardt that gives him double hammers like that, or a second ultimate that makes him quicker tougher and hit harder like in this animation 4: DAMN this was emotional, especially for a Reinhardt main like myself. well done.
Oh man I love Rein's voice actor so much. Had the biggest cheesiest grin on my face when he showed up in the opening ceremony and started throwing candy at people
Oh my god. This is so sad but at the same time, beautiful. I don't play Reinhardt very often but this makes me want to even more now. Bravo on this masterpiece, Blizzard.
So much heart in this one! I can't say i didn't get emotional, especially at the end. Oh how badly i want a League/Overwatch crossover with Rein, Braum and Balderich. Drinking and laughing together after a great battle! Shield-bros for life!!
Raymond Kromer "conflict, is the crucible in which we evolve" rihn still remembers the pain of that day, not the pain of the defeat, not the pain of loosing his eye, but the pain of knowing that one of his oldest friends willingly died because of his mistakes. "... this pain won't go away, it won't stop hurting. it's the secret weapon we wield. Out of sight, out of arms, that pain will forever be with us" his friends last words are the words he lives by "live with honor"
I've never commented on RUclips before. Let me start with that. I'm a Reinhardt main, yes. I'm also drunk asf, pretty messed up shit for my first comment, I know. I also play other heroes but Reinhardt hits close to the heart. This video, man. Brought out more emotion in me than I've felt in years. I could have made a funny comment about how Reinhardt says funny things "WIT" his accent. But I'm gonna leave that in the previous sentence. This hits close to the heart mostly because it was about Reinhardt. But what made me comment was not how the animation was amazingly executed. Or about how I love the game. But how it perfectly moved to my emotions! ( Watched it two times, one after the other). What made me comment is how beautifully everything is interwoven. Let me just give the proper shoutout to concept artists, animators/arts, sound technicians, programmers, producers(I know these people don't get enough), level artists, marketing(so moving many parts there, I'll just mention marketing), engineers. Really hope I did not forget anyone. Love you all. There's also the business part(other than marketing and producers) I'd like to put in this but I'm not sure how the rest of the team would feel. At blizzard I'd feel like they'd love it but not so many other places. But either way. Everyone that's touched the game OverWatch has done me a great favor. I probably started this wall of text with some thought about me loving Reinhardt and was going to end it with some German whatnot. Instead I'd like to thank you all. Thank you for making the best of what you all had and sharing. Thank you.
Bunch of supersoldiers in power-armour crusading and protecting normal soldiers in flak armour using massive thunderous hammers? Massive pauldrons that have extra pauldrons? accepting any challenge no matter the odds? BLACK TEMPLARS VIBE INTENSIFYING
Can we just appreciate the sheer dedication of the wounded soldier at the end? He's injuried, his buddy is dragging him, there's a wall of bastion behind them about to kill them and he still gives them every ounce of fight he can.
If you're going to die, you might as well die giving it everything you got.
AHHHH MY FRIENDS, WHATS ALL ZIS STANDING AROUND? ZER IS GLOOOORY TO BE WAN!
SHEPHλRD 1337 LIVE WITH HONOR!!!!
Reindhardt is definitely my favorite character.
SHEPHλRD 1337 before zee Germans come.
*BEER*
SHEPHλRD 1337 Yes it is time to earn glory in Waaarrgh
SHEPHλRD 1337 oiææ
By far the best short. In my opinion of course
this is how the internet works.
This or bastion's short, hard to decide
Michael McParland I'd say the bastion short, since there is no crappy voice acting
And you know what people think about other people´s opinions? They dont give a fuck
the first ever trailer was the best winston and tracer vs reaper and widowmaker plus the widowmaker vs tracer short
*So Rein was basically every tank in low elo solo Q then*
Not really
Moe Othman precisely
Until he was taught how to not be a noob
and then later on he finally got to masters
Basically, but he learned his lesson the hard way, those teammates that died that day ain't coming back.
Dual wield rocket hammer, damn...
Hermit1602 the ultimate maverick.
Honestly, I'd like that Saber-wielding OR-15 more.
150 damage pls nerf jeff
fury crusader :D
The Random El Duderino
In the end who lasted longer ;)
Wow, they actually managed to make Orisa scary there.
EmperorNiel I think those were just OR-14’s. Orisa is a heavily upgraded OR-15.
An OR-15A If you will
EmperorNiel IKR!
actually yea she is OR-15A
be careful when crossing the street
Jacob Roberts you get a like
Reinhardt charging in to abandon his team canon
Legend O' Logan
We knew this before from uprising
"GET BACK AND PROTECT YOUR TEAM!"
"Aah, they're just slowing me down!"
Blizzard totally nailed every Reinhardt main ever
REINHARDT REINHARDT REINHARDT!
CATCHPHRASE!
Yahiamice Are you readi? Her im coome
@Yahiamice ayy I'm subbed
There he is
yoshiomite
As someone lost their older brother in war, I never thought I’d cry or relate to an animation
Funny how blizzard tries to subtly tell Reinhard players that they need to shield their teammates. "The tea mneeds you.... beeee theirrr shieldd" :))
good, hopefully i will no longer be one of the few rein players who does it lol
The problem is that sublety won't work with people that don't get that 1 1/2 years after the game's release. All hope is lost for people like that.
"subtly"
I can try my best to be their shield, but when they ignore and just run off to be killed anyway.... meh :|
The main issue is usually not Rein, but the idiots who run off. You have no idea how often a soldier will run past you and stand right befor the shield. like wtf, man.
This short makes the map and his voice lines like 1000% more emotional. I'm crying. That was so good.
Why is someone cutting onions in here?
Dammit whos doing this? I bet it was genji! T-T
I'm not crying, I just have something in my eyes. 😢
Self sacrifice is the only thing that results in onions being cut for me.
I'VE JUST BEEN CUTTING ONIONS, I'M MAKIN A LASAGNAAAA... for one...
I cried twice in these whole 7 minutes. Maybe cause I'm a rein main, or maybe cause I'm a gigantor puss
my playstyle as rein is canon now
Seafoamfucker same
And all your teammates dying because you weren't there to shield them is now also canon ;p
Actually no because he learnt from his mistakes
Wow, I was sad during the bastion and mei cinematic, by this one really got tears running. This really hit the feels, but I think we can all agree that the blizzard animators have outdone themselves
NOW WE KNOW WHY BLIZZ GAVE REIN SO MANY SKINS!
Smiley M.v all of that armor
Well if you took the 3 seconds it takes to read the flavor text under the skin information you would have known that already.
Auf Right well i guess if it didn’t take 3 seconds to realize i was just making a joke. Then you would of know you have a massive stick up ya asssss
what flavour text
massive *dick
“I have been called, I must answer, always” never compromise, even in the face of Armageddon, love Reinhardt
I wanna see this as a tv show. Not a movie. Theres too many characters to fit into one movie. But a Netflix series? My dood
Young-Naive Reinhardt is me when playing Reinhardt.
Also, *I WANT THAT REINHARDT SKIN*
McVictus I kind of want to say “time to grow up”
have you learned your lesson from the short?
6:39 a resting place fit for a king.
.... OH JESUS.
I wasn't prepared to cry?... I don't even know why... But I have strong emotions..
OW Crysis i reckon its because Rehin was like us when we play him, crazy wanting to fight constantly, instead of defending his team like his master always wanted him to. Like blizzard wants us to. Like being a healer, we have a Call, and we must answer XD
Same. Came for reinhardt filled testosterone, stayed for the feels.
Its story of old soldier who is smiling on the outside, but inside is still full of regret of his past mistakes. Reinhardt is still trying to proof himself that death of his mentor and friend was not in vain and he will continue to do so until his last breath.
No amount of Earthshatter will ever make me manly again after watching this.
Did they just leave that guys body in that suit for all this time?
SheepForges yes it was a burial spot
That was his grave
And he died with honour.
Honestly, by that time I wouldn't WANT to try to open that armor up. Gotta be nasty in there.
it would just be bones by that point, everything would have rotted off or eaten by maggots.
He is sitting there on the throne, with dozens of killed omnics around him. Name one more appropriate and more badass way for a soldier to be buried.
Crusader... offline. :(
SanctusCrypta "many a crusader lost their lives that day... may zey rest in peace."
Right in the frackin' feels :(
Blizzard with these videos you are really spoiling us
George Sampson True, Sugar Daddy Blizzard
George Sampson what spoiler
George Sampson I dont see any because they are just showing us the backgrounds mainly because I dont think they will make a movie or show on this so they are giving us something
All I can think of now is the Monty Python "Treaty of Westphalia" xD
he meant spoiling as in spoiling your kids
They make it look like if rein was bastion’s counter...
but in the end is in the other way
Yeah that a lie but working togher damn
Man, I didn't know Rein had such a backstory. It sent chills down my spine.
Live with honor my friend.
Die with glory.
I'm not sobbing over my favorite grandpa, no way.
saaame
Live with honor, die with glory!
this had better be a voiceline. that, and, "here's your war-king stick" and "Stick with your dance partners"
isn't glory and honor basically the same thing though?
nope, glory is like dying for a worthy cause and honour is being a respectful good person never breaking promises and such.
well not necessarily dying but doing something amazing
Ramseas119 I heard Rein say walking stick not war king stick.
I do want the first and last ones though
Now we know why he says: "I will be your shield."
This was an incredible short!
6:14 so it was Rein who made that hole in the mid tower at Defend point A
It's hard to say how much I appreciate the Overwatch Team for creating a masterpiece in our time and giving us the chance to be part in it.
Is no one going to talk about the fact that they started in the attacking teams spawn, but started defending from the castle?
Now this... *THIS* my friends... Is why I main Reinhardt!
To charge away from your team?)
Shadowrunner Lol 😂
Solo carry xP
Damn, I can hear how much *Darin De Paul* is holding back in scenes where Rein is younger. Best voice actor ever. Hopes to hear him live someday!
I hope the or14 noise becomes a voice line
Tripod noises intensities
Shiny RRRRR OOOOO
This, this is why I am a Reinhardt main. This is why I have his Golden, Jade, Hard Light, and Bound Demon weapon skins. This is why I FIGHT. For a better meta, for a better Overwatch!
reinhardt toxic af no wonder he didn't get any heals
But that killstreak though
RIP Master of reinhardt
burnerpyro Everyone in Overwatch tbh
Laughing like a maniac.
this is honestly the most amazing short yet. I can't hardly say how good it is.
I require a young Reinhardt skin.. Because reasons.
Mr. R_creator
We have a younger overwatch skin.
But this one would be amazing
but that's not really young, that's more like middle aged Reinhardt... Kappa
If the reason is "That armor is sick as fuck!" Then count me in.
Random Username without
It's your lucky day sir, it has just been announced
I AM YOUR SHIELD
I knew it IM PLAYING REINHARDT AS IT WAS MEANT TO GO AHEAD AND CRUSH EVERYTHING
no fam the entire freaking point of the video was that you shouldn't charge rigth in man because that's how your friends die when they try to bail you out. i hope you learned your lesson, young man.
Lord Explosion Murder xd nope. Get in and kill everything. Then get another hammer and kill the rest xd Crusader style
Trauson with the cost of your comrades lives and as you get cocky with an OR-14 someone saved you. And in this cinematic, they can't respawn.
+Lord Explosion Murder How do you say "fam" without fucking dying inside?
4:48 when you earthshatter but Winston drop his shield
love it. right in the feels.
I love the Crusaders because of how the show the spirit of the warrior. Like Reinhardt yes at first he is very cocky and arrogant. Like a middle school student. But it's through Baldrick (and losing eye plus almost his life) he learns what to means to be a warrior.

And death is the end. The final threshold. Baldrick thinks "it's just me and them" and Reinhardt goes to protect his people even after his barrier has broken he shields his team with himself. The Crusaders are true warriors.
>Team facing overwhelming odds and pinned down under fire
"WHERE IS REINHARDT?"
"DAMNIT REIGHNHARDT!!!"
Watching the fight scene with Balderich in slow mo sent chills through my body. Just so damn cool! By far the best short yet.
*Am I the only one who wants to play Reinhardt right now...? :D*
UjoAnnanas I feel the same way
Live with Honor
Die with Glory
UjoAnnanas been playing him since season 2. Have fun crusader
Me someone what
Live with honor Die with glory
Great animation with a great insight into reinhardts past. 10/10
Is anybody not realizing that he let his commander decompose in HIS SUIT!!!!????
No, Blizzard, you can't *Emotional Crit* Aah. So that's how it is.
6:09 HAMMER DOWN!
3:15 EXPERIMENT Glowing 1000 Degree Knife vs. Crusader
(Experiment gone wrong)
Reinhardt holds a special place in my heart thanks to this video
A couple things...
1: I want that young Reinhardt skin
2: I want that Omnic Crisis Orisa Skin
3: I want a second ultimate for Reinhardt that gives him double hammers like that, or a second ultimate that makes him quicker tougher and hit harder like in this animation
4: DAMN this was emotional, especially for a Reinhardt main like myself. well done.
lobo solitario there already is an omnic crisis Orisa skin, it was released for the uprising event earlier in the year.
No, that orisa isn't from the omnic crisis but from the null sector
That's an OR14 unit, Orisa is an OR-15 variant.
DasLewis That was the original plan for firestrike but they couldn't think of what would he do while his hammer was gone.
I want these badass orisa sounds
The animation is always so smooth. These are always just so perfect.
ay
These never fail to tug at my emotional strings. Props to the team who makes these
Reinhardt was my main before but now i main mccree...
It was a mistake...
You and me both
Dompat hh
I got so excited to see a short with Reinhardt.
My excitement got turned into sadness.
Oh man I love Rein's voice actor so much. Had the biggest cheesiest grin on my face when he showed up in the opening ceremony and started throwing candy at people
Oh my god. This is so sad but at the same time, beautiful.
I don't play Reinhardt very often but this makes me want to even more now.
Bravo on this masterpiece, Blizzard.
In the beginning was that törbyorns daughter????????????
yes
No, that's an apprentice he hired that helps torb with his work
No her name's Brigitte, she's his squire/apprentice/mechanic.
Doesn't TORBJORN have like 20 children?
Seems like she might be, based on the way she talked about how her Papa seemed to know Rein + gear tattoo
I love how the Crusader suits look super similar to the Terran Marine suits. This short was amazing
Where's junkrat when you need his bombs and rip-tires?
So much heart in this one!
I can't say i didn't get emotional, especially at the end.
Oh how badly i want a League/Overwatch crossover with Rein, Braum and Balderich.
Drinking and laughing together after a great battle!
Shield-bros for life!!
I'm too in tears for this
this is what we couldve had
rein old rein
always charging in leaving the dps behind
6:52 nobody can stop the bastion army
what a terrible day for rain
Raymond Kromer "conflict, is the crucible in which we evolve" rihn still remembers the pain of that day, not the pain of the defeat, not the pain of loosing his eye, but the pain of knowing that one of his oldest friends willingly died because of his mistakes. "... this pain won't go away, it won't stop hurting. it's the secret weapon we wield. Out of sight, out of arms, that pain will forever be with us" his friends last words are the words he lives by "live with honor"
it sure it mustang
puts a whole new light on when rein yells "I'll be your shield"
Where's Genji when you need deflect?
LMAO
*i need healing*
He's busy chasing Mercy for healing
Toxic
You mean running away from her while screaming that he needs healing
God danm this one was good. I love these shorts. I hope they just keep making them
Nerf Moira.
ikr
Lmao heck ya
nERF You
> New hero news
*20 secs later*
> "Nerf new hero"
Don't even joke about this, Doomfist still hasn't recovered from his unfair overnerf give her some time to grow and settle in the roster.
Can we just appreciate this short?
it's really amazing.
So...thats how that crusader armour got there.... :(
THIS CINEMATIC, HAS BEEN ALL I'VE WANTED SINCE LAUNCH. I AM LEGIT HYPED FOR THAT SKIN AND EVERYTHING.
*GET BACK TO YOUR TEAM*
Literally every healer on the same team as a rein who only charges the bastion...
to be fair in some cases it needs to be charged, like if your dps doesnt know how to shoot him
I swear, I'm not crying.
I just caught some feels in my eyes.
CATCHPHRASE!
what
REINHARDT! REINHARDT! REINHARDT!
Tsugi ni omae wa .... to iu!
2:20 Standby for Titanfall
live with honor die wth glory old friend😢😢
This is the best animated short yet. I can't stop watching it
Well they just got that footage of Reinhardt from low SR tanks.
This was the most glorious, manly, honorable and sad animated short I've ever seen! Bloody Ninja cutting onions!
I've never commented on RUclips before. Let me start with that. I'm a Reinhardt main, yes. I'm also drunk asf, pretty messed up shit for my first comment, I know.

They should really make a movie, these few minutes where more intense and filled with emotion done right than most movies lately.
Bunch of supersoldiers in power-armour crusading and protecting normal soldiers in flak armour using massive thunderous hammers?
Massive pauldrons that have extra pauldrons?
accepting any challenge no matter the odds?
BLACK TEMPLARS VIBE INTENSIFYING
bert bvdemier PURGING WITH MY KIN!!!!
The animated shorts really makes me wish for an overwatch movie.

All Reins wish they could dash into a bastion
Does anyone notice that the music sounds a bit like this is my world by junkie XL from Batman vs superman At 5:35
Literally my favorite animated short
Thank you Blizzard for making such great cinematics. And one for Reinhardt!
