_My family tells of an ancient legend about two great Dragon brothers; the Dragon of the North Wind and the Dragon of the South Wind. Together, they upheld balance and harmony in the Heavens._ _But the two brothers argued over who could better rule their land. Their quarrel turned to rage and their violent struggle darkened the skies, until the Dragon of the South Wind struck down his brother, and fell to earth, shattering the land._ _The Dragon of the South Wind had triumphed, but as time passed and he realized his solitude. The sweetness of victory turned to ash._ _For years, the bereft Dragon's grief threw the world into discord and he knew only bitterness and sorrow._ _One day, a stranger called up to the Dragon and asked:_ _"Oh, Dragon Lord, why are you so distraught?"_ _The dragon told him:_ _"Seeking power, I killed my brother, but without him, I am lost."_ _The stranger replied:_ _"You have inflicted wounds upon yourself, but now, you must heal. Walk the earth on two feet as I do. Find value in humility, then, you will find peace."_ - You are not the first assassin sent to kill me and you will not be the last. - You are bold to come to Shimada castle, the den of your enemies. - This was once my home. Did your masters not tell you WHO I WAS?! - I know who you are, Hanzo. I know you come here every year, on the same day. - Hrrr.. - You risk so much to honor someone you murdered! - You know nothing of what happened! - I know you tell yourself that your brother disobeyed the clan, and that you have to kill him to maintain order. That it was your duty. - It was my duty and my burden. That does not mean I do not honor him! - You think you honor your brother, Genji, with incense offerings? Honor resides in one's actions. - You dare to lecture me about honor? You are not worthy to say his name! _Ryū ga waga TEKI WO KURAU!!_ _Ryūjin no ken WO KURAE!!_ - Only a Shimada can control the Dragons. Who are you? Do it, then. Kill me. - No. I will not grant you the death you wish for. You still have a purpose in this life, brother. - No... How...? My brother is dead. Genji... _The Dragon knelt upon the ground. For the first time he was able to clearly see the world around him, and he became human. The stranger revealed himself as his fallen brother. Reunited, the two set out to rebuild what they had once destroyed._ - What have you... become? - I have accepted what I am and I have forgiven you. Now you must forgive yourself. The world is changing once again, Hanzo, and it's time to pick a side. - Real life is not like the stories our father told us. You are a *fool* for believing it so! - Perhaps I am a fool to think that there is still hope for you, but I do. Think on that, brother.
7:15 Best Part. This Part gives me so mich chill. Its so Epic. Every time I Heart that Part I think about overwatch 2 and how awesome the Story will be.
@@chantevandyk7155I just watched it for the first time. I’m brand new to overwatch trying to learn it and playing competitive. Just wow man the short was incredible. Genji and honzo are brothers like what????🤣🤣🤣 Had my jaw dropped
Even thought not many people have mentioned it, I find the part with the woman vocal to be stunning. Especially her voice wavering adds a depth of emotion that mirrors the hardships the brothers have endured. It begins around here 1:28 and goes on for a little bit but still, i find it quite mesmerising to listen to.
I can't believe this... after waiting so many years, they finally released the soundtrack from the shorts. I'm so happy right now, I can finally listen to the Dragons OST. Easily my favourite short in terms of story and music.
"The world is changing once again, Hanzo... and it's time to pick a side." "Real life is not like the stories our father told us! You are a FOOL for believing it so!" "...Perhaps I am a fool to think there is still hope for you. But I do. Think on that, brother."
The levels of nostalgia this OST brings can not be paralleled. Overwatch will forever be my favorite game even if it isn’t in the best state or if I stop playing for months. There has never been a game that had me that captivated on release and years following as overwatch did, Makes me emotional when the music hits the part of Hanzo mourning. Overwatch is beautiful and I only hope they revive it with overwatch 2. 🐲🐉
So glad that they finally got around to uploading this. But I think this means that there won’t be any more fully animated cinematic shorts for Overwatch, as they’re making a playlist including this and the other tracks, and they’ll probably be focusing their attention on Overwatch 2 shorts
This is among the best works of art the Overwatch team has put out. Not saying much considering their recent actions, but that desn't take away from how incredible this sounds
Thanks to HotS we had some remixes of tunes from "Dragons", it was a little easier to wait for release of the original soundtrack! Extremely happy that we finally get it!
don’t get me wrong i’ll always love overwatch cinematics but this one will forever be the best. the music is just so good and makes it feel like i’m watching a real movie
@@shaosei6157 and that is that vlizzard did plan to make an ow series but it would probably be like how the arcane story plays out since arcane was before league
Easily one of my favorites.When that music kicks in at the scene where Genji leaves Hanzo with the words “perhaps I am a fool for thinking there is still hope for you, brother”. Chills everytime :’)
Well finally. Been looking all over for this one. I do applaud many RUclipsrs for their attempts at recreating this one, but it's great to finally hear the original.
5 years later we finally get the ost
I mean there are 100s of OST videos already exist since the short lol
@@StarChomp yeah but they’re always a bit off
@@StarChomp They're edited snippets from Overwatch League usually. A lot of it was missing.
Actually you can hear the game soundtrack on spotify. All the map music and game music that is.
@@jacobrodriguez3712 Yeah but the cinematic soundtracks weren’t there
Perhaps, I was a fool, for thinking there was still hope for these soundtracks, but I did. Thank you, Blizzard.

I think this is the best one of all the Overwatch shorts OSTs.
Yeah, this one is probably the best so far. They're all surprisingly good.
Yeah look, I would have said honour and glory right up until release, but this is the one I keep coming back to. Where as I actually found out I kind of like the OWL version of honour and glory better
Definitely my 1st favorite animated short out of all of them.

Why DISCORD?

"Oh dragon lord, why are you so distraught?" This part is perfect
“Perhaps I am a fool to think there is still hope for you, but I do”
yeah we all watched the same video
“Think on that, brother”
2:25 - 2:46 I love it. I could heard that erhu piece on my mind only. But finally
Same; its such a beautiful segment that lets you reflect on life
Man it sounds so incredible
Even 5 years later, this is still the best short Overwatch ever made. This short is what convinced me to buy Overwatch.
I would give anything to watch this short again, not knowing anything about OW or Hanzo/Genji's story
@@chantevandyk7155I just watched it for the first time. I’m brand new to overwatch trying to learn it and playing competitive. Just wow man the short was incredible. Genji and honzo are brothers like what????🤣🤣🤣

Just listen to 1:53

@@NemoPearwall Ryūjin no ken wo kūrae!!
Flow like water, swift as the wind. Honor the fallen, even your kin.
I bet that everyone is getting the right timeline with the voices and moments in the shorts just to fit with the ost 👀👄👀
I can't believe this... after waiting so many years, they finally released the soundtrack from the shorts. I'm so happy right now, I can finally listen to the Dragons OST. Easily my favourite short in terms of story and music.
Nice to see you here!
This is my 4 year old daughter's favorite short to watch, she always gasps at the Dragons appearing.
that is adorable!!
I'll be sure to show my daughter Dragons when comes of age
Thanks for inspiring that
4:49 - 5:22 chills every time
❤️🔥👍
Literally
Masterclass
it’s been over 100 years….
This OST is just so well done, i get chills just listening to it
I get chills from my memories of me watching and rewatching this gorgeous animation 🥰
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Dont think so they uploaded the maps themes but then they added kanezaka to the game
"Our world is changing Hanzo, its time to pick a side"
Literally to me the best OST out of all the shorts and my favorite animated short even still. Have long awaited to get this OST so so good! 🐉
To this day Dragons’ soundtrack gives me chills. What a fantastic composition

Half a decade later and we finally get the full missing OSTs of the animated shorts. But hey, better late than never, eh lads and lasses?
I just watched this short, brand new to overwatch. Had no idea the backstory between the two and wow, just wow.
FINALLY! after ten thousand years... it's here
oh man this is so good it almost makes me forget dps queue times
god I miss these days of overwatch
No, I can’t believe this! Finally! Finally!
The part near the end reminds me of the Last Samurai soundtrack.
5:49 ---->7:45 is so good 🤯
don’t get me wrong i’ll always love overwatch cinematics but this one will forever be the best. the music is just so good and makes it feel like i’m watching a real movie
Makes me want to watch "Dragons" again. Ah if they only made an animated series It would be amazing.
