Artists, please do something with the information my theory brings

So as everyone should know by now, Pharah, or Fareeha, is NOT an amputee. Now, this got me thinking: if Pharah isn't an amputee but that's just how her armor makes her look (the knee and elbow joints in specific) then maybe Genji isn't as cybernetically enhanced as we thought.

There's no doubt that his arms are cybernetic, this is proven with the fact that shuriken literally come out from his right arm and that fact that I'm pretty sure it's impossible for a wrist to turn in a 180 the way his did during the Dragons short. Everyone remembers how Genji's *cough* lower parts are confirmed to still be in tact, right? I believe this is because the only parts of Genji's body that were modified and/or replaced were part of his upper body while his lower body is just covered by armor (much like Pharah).

What I'm getting at is that I think Genji's legs, while probably having some scars, aren't actually cybernetic, they're completely normal, flesh and blood. This also makes sense with why Genji's manhood would still be in one piece because, let's be honest, Hanzo probably wouldn't be that concerned with Genji's weewee if he was trying to kill him anyway. Plus, Hanzo's main target would be Genji's chest, neck, and spinal areas, the only reason why he would target Genji's legs is not to completely destroy them but rather to slow him down.

I think the only reason why Genji's arms were replaced was to make him a more efficient weapon, one that could store his own weapons within his body and could gain a whole new mastery over his swordsmanship since there were no longer any restricting bones and muscles to hold him back. There would be no reason at all why Genji's lower half would need to be replaced when armor proves to do the job just fine. The young Genji skins prove that he's just as quick and nimble as he's always been, not more or less, so there would truly be no point in fixing what wasn't broken.

Cool moment in 'Dragons' from Genji

In Dragons, Genji slices the final arrow Hanzo fires before dueling in short range combat with him.

The arrow before that,Genji deflects with a standard swipe.

However for the last arrow, you actually see Genji flip his sword into a reverse grip, the fact he does it as the arrow is in the air, is what amazes me, the switch is less then half a second (the gif is slightly slower)

It's a small tidbit-but i think it's neat they showed it, I only just caught it.

Now wait just a diddly darn minute. So it’s pretty clear that it’s neither Hanzo nor Genji who’s narrating the story of the two dragon brothers in the Dragons short.

But could it be their father Sojiro who is narrating?

I understand that he’s dead but it could have been a past telling of the tale. I’d never even considered that before.
